Authors: Guayjarernpanishk Pannarat , Remsungnen Tawun
Published: August 2020

This paper presents the CSP-2L continuous sampling plan, which is designed for product inspectionon two independent production lines at the same time. The purpose of the CSP-2L is to improve the CSP-1-2Lin order to reduce the number of defective products that have passed without being inspected during thetemporary inspection stop, so the quality of the products is better. Therefore, if the manufacturer who uses theCSP-2L plan to inspect the production lines then resulting in higher quality of the products than the CSP-1-2L.This presentation includes the product inspection procedures and the formulas for performance measures suchas average total fraction inspected (ATFI), average total outgoing quality (ATOQ), and average total outgoingquality limit (ATOQL) which are carried out using a Markov chain. The formulas for performance measures ofthe CSP-2L have been tested to be accurate. When defined, the probability of a unit produced by the processbeing nonconforming of line 1 and line 2 are equal (p1 = p2 = p = 0.005, 0.015 and 0.035), the clearance numberof line 1 and line 2 are equal (i1 = i2 = 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50), the sampling fraction of line 1 and line 2 are equal(f1 = f2 =12and13) and the number of units to be found when inspection of line 1 and line 2 are in the phaseof sampling inspection at the same time (m = i1 and 2i1). Moreover, the ATOQ values from the CSP-2L and theCSP-1-2L plans were compared. The results showed that, the formulas for performance measures are accurateand in the case of p, the levels are low and moderate, the ATOQ of the CSP-2L are less than those of theCSP-1-2L in all cases. But in the case of p is at a high level, the ATOQ of the CSP-2L is less than those of theCSP-1-2L for some cases of i.
Towards a resolution of some outstanding issues in transitive research: An empirical test on middle childhood
Authors: Wright Barlow C.
Published: August 2020

Transitive Inference (deduce B > D from B > C and C > D) can help us to understand other areas of sociocognitive development. Across three experiments, learning, memory, and the validity of two transitive paradigms were investigated. In Experiment 1 (N = 121), 7-year-olds completed a three-term nontraining task or a five-term task requiring extensive-training. Performance was superior on the three-term task. Experiment 2 presented 5–10-year-olds with a new five-term task, increasing learning opportunities without lengthening training (N = 71). Inferences improved, suggesting children can learn five-term series rapidly. Regarding memory, the minor (CD) premise was the best predictor of BD-inferential performance in both task-types. However, tasks exhibited different profiles according to associations between the major (BC) premise and BD inference, correlations between the premises, and the role of age. Experiment 3 (N = 227) helped rule out the possible objection that the above findings simply stemmed from three-term tasks with real objects being easier to solve than computer-tasks. It also confirmed that, unlike for five-term task (Experiments 1 & 2), inferences on three-term tasks improve with age, whether the age range is wide (Experiment 3) or narrow (Experiment 2). I conclude that the tasks indexed different routes within a dual-process conception of transitive reasoning: The five-term tasks indexes Type 1 (associative) processing, and the three-term task indexes Type 2 (analytic) processing. As well as demonstrating that both tasks are perfectly valid, these findings open up opportunities to use transitive tasks for educability, to investigate the role of transitivity in other domains of reasoning, and potentially to benefit the lived experiences of persons with developmental issues.
The influence of HDBA organic complex with vitamin d and calcium on quality of life in individuals at high risk of fractures undergoing medical rehabilitation
Authors: Marchenkova L.A. , Makarova E.V. , Vasileva V.A.
Published: August 2020

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the biologically active food supplement «Osteomed Forte» on pain intensity and quality of life in patients with high risk of fractures undergoing medical rehabilitation.
Materials and methods: Included men and women 40-80 years old, with high risk of fractures. Patients who had already taken antiresorbents were identified in group №1 - they were assigned the investigated product (IP): biologically active food supplement «Osteomed Forte». Patients who had not received antiresorption therapy were divided into two equal groups by simple randomization. Group №2 was assigned to IP. There were no IPs in group №3. All the subjects were conducted: 1. Pain Assessment Score (PAS); 2. Quality of Life Assessment (QUALEFFO-41). The examination was repeated immediately after the rehabilitation course as well as after 6 and 12 months.
Results: The study enrolled 120 people (group №1 n=41, group №2 n=39, group №3 n=39): 10 men, 110 women, average age 65.51±7.92 years. After a course of rehabilitation in all groups, PAS was significantly reduced (2.7, 3.0, 3.5 points, respectively, p<0.01), and the QUALEFFO-41 scores improved on all scales (p<0.05). This trend continued after 6 months. After 12 months, a significantly lower PAS was in group №1 (4.0 as compared to 6.2 and 6.4 points, p<0.05). In group №1, QUALEFFO-41 indices were significantly better than the initial ones (p<0,05) and higher than in groups №2 and 3 «Pain», «Housework», «Mobility», «General Health», «Mental Health», «General Indicator» (p<0,05).
Conclusion: In patients with a high risk of fractures, the course of medical rehabilitation improved the physical and mental components of QOL and reduced the pain syndrome. In patients who took IP as a basic therapy, the achieved effect was maintained after 3, 6, 12 months. In 1 year after the rehabilitation course, the groups receiving IP and antiresorption therapy had better QOL parameters, lower PAS and better bone metabolism indices.

Penggunaan Electronic Medication Management (EMM) dalam Menurunkan Kejadian Medication Error di Keperawatan
Authors: Indriani Siti
Published: August 2020

Errors in drug administration are adverse events for patients. Reducing the incidence of medication errors will significantly improve patient safety and quality of medication use. The traditional system makes staff spend time searching through notes on a compilation paper of what drugs patients must pay throughout the treatment process that is given. This process is not only lengthy, but also can easily increase opportunities for differences and mistakes. Many hospitals and health services are turning to digital systems as a solution. The EMM system supports the improvement of quality, safety, and support for drug management in hospitals. This includes providing support for doctors, nurses and pharmacists to prescribe, order, accept, reconcile, issue and install digital drug administration. EMM covers the entire treatment cycle in the hospital including prescribing by doctors, approved and issued drug orders by pharmacists, and administration of drugs by nurses. The use of EMM can provide benefits that are improving the quality of patient-oriented nursing care, the quality of clinical services and the use of information technology.

Published: August 2020

Schwannomas are benign slow growing tumors that arise from the Schwann cells of nerve, also called neurilemmoma. Head and Neck schwannomas usually present as solitary with well demarcated lesions. These tumors usually remain asymptomatic but present as slowly enlarging neck masses. Its origin is only determined during surgical procedure along the course and distribution of the nerve. Preoperative diagnosis is usually made by physical examination and aided by ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography and fine needle aspiration cytology but open biopsy is not recommended. The main stay of treatment is complete intracapsular excision with preserving the nerve of origin.
Protecting Children from Violent TV Programmes and Video Games in Tanzania
Authors: K.S Mwinyimbegu, , N Kubyula,
Published: August 2020

Violent Television programmes and video games have been consistently found to have negative impact on children’s education and behaviour. Past and current research on the attitudes of children watching violent television and video games show that children who watch violence in television and video games imitate the violent behaviours of the actors they watch in the television and video games. In Tanzania the influence of violent movies and video games on the education of children is an issue of great concern to parents, pediatricians, educators, researchers, and policymakers. However, very few studies have been undertaken to assess the debilitating effects of violent television programmes and video games on children’s education and attitudinal behaviour. This paper presents the findings of a study undertaken to assess the effects of violence in television and video games on children’s education and attitudinal behaviour. The study’s setting was Isenge Primary School, Pasiansi Ward, in the city of Mwanza. A total of 1,183 pupils were involved where 133 were randomly interviewed. The attitudes of the pupils were assessed by the Child and Adolescent Social Perception Measure (CASP). Results showed that the pupils’ attitudinal behaviours were substantially influenced by violent Television programmes and video games.

Authors: Alam Mohammad Sarwar , Mahmod Shajjad , Das Saikat
Published: August 2020

This study aims to unearth the determining factors of tourist satisfaction in the Rangamati District and explores the degree of interdependence. Data were collected from 140 tourists who visited Rangamati from 2019 to onward were selected based on convenience using a survey questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed that two factors among five such as natural factors, cultural factors were found to have a positive influence in determining tourists’ satisfaction however the other three such as tourism product, destination support services, and financial factors do not influence tourists satisfaction. SPSS-2020 was used for analysis where descriptive statistics were used to express the demographic profile of the respondent and to rank the individual factors to find out which factors are most important for determining the dependent variable. Then, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis has been used to judge the degree of relationship among independent and dependent variables. A set of recommendations was provided which will help to improve the performance of the agencies as well as tourist services and it will gradually bring satisfaction to the local and international tourists.

A Systematic Study on the Rise Time–Peak Luminosity Relation for Bright Optical Transients Powered by Wind Shock Breakout
Authors: Suzuki Akihiro , Moriya Takashi J. , Takiwaki Tomoya
Published: August 2020

A number of astrophysical transients originating from stellar explosions are powered by the collision of the ejected material with the circumstellar medium, which efficiently produces thermal radiation via shock dissipation. We investigate how such interaction-powered transients are distributed in the peak bolometric luminosity versus the rise time phase space. Taking advantage of less time-consuming one-dimensional simulations with spherical symmetry, we calculated more than 500 models with different circumstellar mass and radius, ejecta mass and energy, and chemical compositions. The peak bolometric luminosity, the total radiated energy, and the rise time of the interaction-powered emission are measured for each simulated light curve. We consider how these characteristic quantities are determined as a function of the model parameters and discuss possible implications for the observed populations of (potential) interaction-powered transients, such as Type IIn supernovae and fast blue optical transients.
Kinetic Simulations of Radiative Magnetic Reconnection in the Coronae of Accreting Black Holes
Authors: Sironi Lorenzo , Beloborodov Andrei M.
Published: August 2020

We perform 2D and 3D particle-in-cell simulations of reconnection in magnetically dominated e
± plasmas subject to strong Compton cooling. Magnetic reconnection under such conditions can operate in accretion disk coronae around black holes, which produce hard X-rays through Comptonization. Our simulations show that most of the plasma in the reconnection layer is kept cold by Compton losses and locked in magnetically dominated plasmoids with a small thermal pressure. Compton drag clears cavities inside plasmoids and also affects their bulk motions. These effects, however, weakly change the reconnection rate and the plasmoid size distribution from those in nonradiative reconnection. This demonstrates that the reconnection dynamics is governed by similar magnetic stresses in both cases and weakly affected by thermal pressure. We examine the energy distribution of particles energized by radiative reconnection and observe two distinct components: (1) A mildly relativistic peak, which results from bulk motions of cooled plasmoids. This component receives most of the dissipated reconnection power and dominates the output X-ray emission. The peak has a quasi-Maxwellian shape with an effective temperature of ∼100 keV. Thus, it mimics thermal Comptonization used previously to fit hard-state spectra of accreting black holes. (2) A high-energy tail, which receives ∼20% of the dissipated reconnection power. It is populated by particles accelerated impulsively at X-points or “picked up” by fast outflows from X-points. The high-energy particles immediately cool, and their inverse Compton emission explains the MeV spectral tail detected in the hard state of Cyg X-1. Our first-principle simulations support magnetic reconnection as a mechanism powering hard X-ray emission from magnetically dominated regions of accreting black holes.

We present the results of a single-pointing survey of 207 dense cores embedded in Planck Galactic Cold Clumps distributed in five different environments (λ Orionis, Orion A, Orion B, the Galactic plane, and high latitudes) to identify dense cores on the verge of star formation for the study of the initial conditions of star formation. We observed these cores in eight molecular lines at 76–94 GHz using the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. We find that early-type molecules (e.g., CCS) have low detection rates and that late-type molecules (e.g., N2H+ and c-C3H2) and deuterated molecules (e.g., N2D+ and DNC) have high detection rates, suggesting that most of the cores are chemically evolved. The deuterium fraction (D/H) is found to decrease with increasing distance, indicating that it suffers from differential beam dilution between the D/H pair of lines for distant cores (>1 kpc). For λ Orionis, Orion A, and Orion B located at similar distances, D/H is not significantly different, suggesting that there is no systematic difference in the observed chemical properties among these three regions. We identify at least eight high-D/H cores in the Orion region and two at high latitudes, which are most likely to be close to the onset of star formation. There is no clear evidence of the evolutionary change in turbulence during the starless phase, suggesting that the dissipation of turbulence is not a major mechanism for the beginning of star formation as judged from observations with a beam size of 0.04 pc.

Published: August 2020

Introduction: To report about the successful outbreak containment of COVID-19 in Shantou, one of the prefectural cities of Guangdong province in the mainland China.

Methodology: All patients confirmed as having COVID-19 between 23 January and 25 March 2020 by RT-PCR assay in the clinical lab of Shantou CDC were included and divided into three groups based on the source of identification: hospital diagnosis, contact tracing, and community screening. Collected data was analyzed and compared among these three groups.

Results: A total of 25 COVID-19 cases were identified in Shantou. The first case was identified on 14 January 2020 at one of two COVID-19 dedicated hospitals in Shantou. The majority of the cases were either imported from Wuhan or linked to Wuhan/Hubei. The median lag time for diagnosis (i.e., the time between symptom onset and case confirmation) was 2 days (IQR, 2.0-4.0) for all cases, 9 days (IQR, 7.0-10.0) for the cases diagnosed in hospitals, 2 days (IQR, 1.5-2.0) for the cases in contact tracing, and 4 days (IQR, 2.5-4.5) for cases in community screening, with a significantly longer diagnosis lag time in hospitals (p = 0.003). Multivariate linear regression models showed larger family size and severe cases as the significant predictor for increasing number of close contacts.

Conclusions: The current pandemic appears to exist for an uncertain period. The early containment measures applied in Shantou, a city with insufficient healthcare resources for COVID-19, seems to be appropriate for cities or areas with similar profiles.

Published: August 2020

AIMS: COVID-19 is a new virus which has spread to most countries in the world. Many papers have been published on the clinical manifestations of this virus. This paper concentrates only on the clinical cases and prognosis of COVID-19 presented in the literature.
METHODS: Systematic review is done, and taken into consideration, all published papers in the literature related to COVID-19. Inclusion and exclusion criteria have been applied.
RESULTS: Few papers have been determined after many filtrations of all published papers concerning inclusion and exclusion criteria to assess outcome of existing COVID-19. Most published papers or reports did not provide full details for each case.
CONCLUSION: Most clinical description data in these reports are so limited and missing some of the critical elements such as the date of infection, source of infection, symptoms, diagnostic criteria, incubation of infection, transmission of infection, number of identified cases after contact with infected patients, and health workers are affected or not by treatment of infected patients, patient age, and type of study. No clear evidence of the treatment plan and the prevention and most data in literature depending on personal experience only which is different from country to others.

L’État social-écologique, chantier transnational enfoui
Authors: Gayon Vincent
Published: August 2020

Cet article contribue à l’histoire transnationale de l’État social au tournant des années 1970-1980. L’étude de la production et de la réception du rapport tenu pour emblématique de la « lame de fond » néolibérale ayant frappé les États-providence (OCDE, The Welfare State in Crisis , 1981), sert de traceur aux transformations d’espaces transnationaux, mettant aux prises gouvernements, secrétariats internationaux, fractions universitaires, patronales et syndicales. Contre la lecture hâtive et téléologique de ce rapport, l’enquête exhume un projet au long cours d’intégration du social et de l’économique à l’OCDE qui ambitionnait de devenir le « nouveau rapport Beveridge » et d’étendre le «  Welfare State  ». Cette initiative participe de la croissance du capital informationnel et social du Département des affaires sociales de l’OCDE sur de nouveaux domaines (emploi, environnement, éducation, logement, santé). Les résistances des secteurs économiques, internes et externes à l’OCDE, auxquelles se confronte cette initiative en altèrent le sens et la portée politique. L’article montre que les clivages entre secteurs « économiques » et secteurs « sociaux » traversent aussi bien des Secrétariats internationaux comme l’OCDE que les appareils étatiques nationaux voire les secteurs universitaires et syndicaux qui y interviennent. Ces oppositions duales et asymétriques, déployées de façon homologue sur différentes scènes, ordonnent les rapports de forces et de sens en présence et expliquent l’enfouissement d’initiatives socio-économiques, voire écologiques, à l’OCDE, aussi bien qu’à la Commission européenne ou à l’OIT. L’hégémonie des secteurs économiques, le plus souvent anticipée par les secteurs sociaux, concourt à l’économicisation néolibérale durable de l’État social et écologique.
Tournant néolibéral et consolidation de la bureaucratie transnationale
Authors: Samuel Boris , Nubukpo Kako
Published: August 2020

Cette note de recherche porte sur l’essor d’un corps de statisticiens et d’économistes dans l’Afrique de l’Ouest francophone depuis les années 1990. La dévaluation du Franc CFA de janvier 1994 a été suivie par une politique d’intégration économique ayant pour objectif prioritaire la défense de la stabilité macroéconomique et le respect de critères de rigueur inspirés par les politiques européennes. La mise en place d’Afristat, qui démarre ses activités en 1996, contribue à rendre possible la surveillance multilatérale en déployant des outils statistiques harmonisés. Si elle permet à la France de diminuer son assistance bilatérale aux administrations économiques, elle ouvre aussi des lieux de sociabilité aux statisticiens ouest-africains, en leur permettant de développer des stratégies de carrière à la jonction entre le national et le transnational – ce qui est illustré à partir du chantier d’élaboration de nouvelles comptabilités nationales. Les années 1990 ont par ailleurs vu s’achever l’africanisation du dispositif de formation des statisticiens et économistes mis en place au lendemain des indépendances. Les écoles régionales d’économie et de statistique d’Abidjan et de Dakar sont aujourd’hui des piliers dans la formation des hauts cadres des administrations économiques ouest-africaines francophones. Enfin, les statisticiens et économistes de la Banque centrale des États d’Afrique de l’Ouest constituent une haute élite administrative qui emploie son savoir-faire au service des politiques de désinflation, tout en mettant à profit son influence pour se positionner dans les champs politiques nationaux et régionaux. L’étude biographique pour laquelle plaide cette note permettrait de savoir si l’intégration régionale réalisée autour de principes macroéconomiques orthodoxes a favorisé la constitution d’un corps régional de statisticiens et économistes.
Une allocation au conditionnel. Distribution et perception du revenu de solidarité active à l’intersection des rapports sociaux
Authors: Lahieyte Lilian
Published: August 2020

Fondé sur une enquête de terrain au long cours, cet article étudie la distribution et la perception de l’aide sociale, et plus particulièrement du revenu de solidarité active, en partant à la fois du point de vue de travailleuses sociales et d’allocataires élevant seules leur(s) enfant(s). Les travailleuses sont amenées à poser des conditions à l’aide sociale de manière différente suivant le département au sein duquel elles exercent et suivant leur poste de travail particulier. Ces conditions leur servent cependant à négocier une même difficulté, à savoir celle d’impliquer les allocataires dans les relations d’aide. Les allocataires, quant à elles, peuvent très mal vivre ces conditions, qui contredisent parfois leurs stratégies quotidiennes et leurs aspirations sociales. L’article propose d’envisager cette situation à l’aune de l’intersectionnalité, une notion qui invite à rendre compte des conséquences inattendues de la combinaison des rapports sociaux.
WHO WANTS WHAT AND WHY? ‘FARMERS’ AND ‘ENGINEERS’ AS GREEN ENTREPRENEURS
Authors: Puđak Jelena , Bokan Nataša
Published: August 2020

The aim of this paper is to explore green entrepreneurs’ motivations and values considering alternative economic models. Two sustainability-oriented developmental models, the green economy and degrowth, shall be described and compared, as well as several green entrepreneurs’ typologies. The green economy actors’ motives and values, as well as their view on green growth and degrowth are explored through qualitative research. The findings suggest the green entrepreneurs differ in their motivations for the green venture they undertake. It appears ‘ farmers’’ values and motives are much closer to the degrowth idea, while ‘engineers’ are more in line with green economy outlook. These findings point to the importance of socio-contextual aspects that underline the appearance of different green entrepreneurial types.

Authors: Shanks Julius N.
Published: August 2020

School leaders are faced with enormous responsibilities in addressing student achievement as directed by district, state, and federal mandates. There is a need for school leaders to structure and implement how to acquire, analyze, and commit action from identified gaps in student learning using assessment data. A major part of the process is establishing how teachers use student data to improve teaching and learning opportunities. When discussing school improvement measures and initiatives, one commonly refers to observations, feedback, and professional learning communities as its core components. This chapter provides a framework using a data-driven instructional system (DDIS) as a model for school improvement in establishing a school data culture that can improve student achievement.

Authors: Bandyopadhyay Somprakash , Bardhan Arina , Dey Priyadarshini , Banerjee Shrabastee , Das Srimoyee , Mandal Kalyan S.
Published: August 2020

Social knowledge management is a framework that allows its users to create and modify content collaboratively using social media and web 2.0 technologies. Social knowledge management can also be defined as the management of social knowledge where it is aimed towards social development. India today is facing a huge rural-urban divide with regard to poor learning achievement at the elementary level in remote rural areas. Remote rural schools are engulfed with problems such as the unavailability of good quality teachers and a poor learning environment. In this context, the chapter seeks to utilize a robust social knowledge management framework to impart universal education in the form of both formal and informal knowledge to the masses in remote rural areas by mobilising free online knowledge resources and the dormant knowledge capital of educated senior citizens. It further illustrates the design and development of a social media based knowledge management platform named OwlishOracle that addresses issues of exclusion and unequal educational attainment through “connecting generations”.
Academicians Quality of Work Life and Its Influence on Value of Education
Authors: Patro Chandra Sekhar
Published: August 2020

The value of education is a dynamic and multi-dimensional concept that refers not only to the educational model but also to the institutional mission and its goals, as well as to the specific standards of the system, facility, program, or event. In today's competitive scenario, the academic institutions need to focus explicitly on providing effective and quality education to the students with the help of experienced academicians. The education quality would increase when the faculty members are having a better quality of work life, and this can be possible by providing better welfare conveniences to them by the academic institutions. Welfare amenities enable the staff members to live a quality and more satisfactory life. These facilities also help to keep their motivation levels high. The chapter articulates the existence of quality of work life programs in academic institutions in order to retain valuable faculty members who influence the value of education.
Forecasting Sales and Return Products for Retail Corporations and Bridging Among Them
Authors: Chowdhury Md Mushfique Hasnat , Amin Saman Hassanzadeh
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this study is to show how we can bridge sales and return forecasts for every product of a retail store by using the best model among several forecasting models. Managers can utilize this information to improve customer's satisfaction, inventory management, or re-define policy for after sales support for specific products. The authors investigate multi-product sales and return forecasting by choosing the best forecasting model. To this aim, some machine learning algorithms including ARIMA, Holt-Winters, STLF, bagged model, Timetk, and Prophet are utilized. For every product, the best forecasting model is chosen after comparing these models to generate sales and return forecasts. This information is used to classify every product as “profitable,” “risky,” and “neutral,” The experiment has shown that 3% of the total products have been identified as “risky” items for the future. Managers can utilize this information to make some crucial decisions.

Kaunas University of Technology is one of the largest technical universities in the Baltic region. The university staff has been involved in different Open Access- and Open Science-related activities for more than a decade. Different initiatives have been implemented: stand-alone and series of training and awareness-raising events, promotion of Open Access and Open Science ideas so that institutions develop their Open Access policies and make their repositories compliant with larger research infrastructures. Within the institution, the initiatives of Open Science are implemented as a result of joint effort of the library, the departments of research, studies, and doctoral school. The current tasks involve revising the institutional Open Access guidelines and facilitating the implementation of data management plans in doctoral studies. In this chapter, the aim is to provide an overview of the efforts highlighting the successes and failures on the way to best practice in research data management support both institutionally and on the national level.
Becoming Trusted Research Partners Through InfoExpress at The University of Toronto
Authors: Vrkljan Manda , Findley-Jones Adrienne
Published: August 2020

This case study discusses the importance of building initial trust in the relationship between researcher and academic library. Primary coverage serves the experience of two small humanities-based colleges serving approximately 125 faculty members within a larger university campus by providing the personal document delivery service of InfoExpress. The trust built through this initial research support service creates avenues for further support from the library and the wider university library system. As every relationship has challenges, the ones occurring here are opportunities to improve the relationship in favour of the researcher and library. If the researcher is unaware of what support the library provides, establishing a personal relationship will immediately provide productive research time and create an opportunity for future support through additional personalized services. The researcher, their research, and their library benefit by this trusted partnership.

Published: August 2020

Peking University Library (the Library) conducts organizational restructuring in 2019, and the Collaborative Service Center (CCS) is designated as the provider of research support services, which is operated in interaction with the talent training system and the process of comprehensive reform. A string of innovations in research support services are implemented by CCS's two teams in an overall manner. This chapter introduces status of research support services in China and the Library's practices in research support services. This chapter introduces the new framework of the research support services from four aspects—service object, service provider, service content, and service strategy—and outlines its plans and visions for further efforts in this regard.

The mandate of Inter-Departmental Letter of Agreement 5170 (IDLA-4755) between Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Transport Canada (TC) was to research and monitor landslides where vital railway infrastructure and operations, public safety, and the environment
are at risk. IDLA-4755 combined research and development of landslide monitoring technologies in the Thompson River valley, British Columbia with new activities in the Assiniboine River valley along the borders of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and other sites in Canada. This report focuses on the
2019-2020 results and interpretation of: a) monitoring with real-time kinematic global navigational satellite system (RTK-GNSS); and, b) photogrammetry using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and commercially available software in the Assiniboine River valley.

Predicting ecosystem shift in a Salt Lake by using remote sensing indicators and spatial statistics methods (case study: Lake Urmia basin)
Authors: Abbasszadeh Tehrani Nadia , Janalipour Milad
Published: August 2020

The consequences of unsustainable human activities on the environment are often delayed, when it is too late to compensate. New approaches are based on the use of “spatial statistics” of leading indicators to measure the “critical slowing down” in a degraded ecosystem, when it is reaching to a tipping point. This research predicts the tipping points in the ecosystem of Lake Urmia Basin (LUB) based on spatial statistics. By Remote Sensing (RS) indicators, their effectiveness in assessing the state of the ecosystem was evaluated in a 16-years period (2002-2017). Seven spectral indicators (NDVI, NDWIv,NDWIw,NDSI,SRDI, NMDI and MVWR) were extracted from ten MODIS images. Ability of the indicators to identify critical point in time-series was investigated by five spatial statistic methods (Moran’s-I, Getis-Ord-Gi, Geary’s-C, variance, and skewness). The results showed that Moran’s-I is more successful in predicting the ecosystem tipping point(s) in comparison with other methods. In addition, the ability to predict ecosystem trends by the autocorrelation of MVWR is higher than other indicators. According to results, the tipping points of LUB occurred in the years of 2008 to 2010 and 2015. For further studies, it is recommended to use radar indicators for identifying tipping points of the similar vulnerable ecosystems.

Published: August 2020

Este documento está fundamentado en bases teóricas de estudios realizados sobre el desarrollo del talento humano. Las empresas contemporáneas están en una continua actualización de conocimientos impartidos al talento humano, pues las necesidades de adiestramiento y capacitación son una etapa obligada en el escenario laboral, para poder enfrentar el desafío a la apertura de nuevos mercados nacionales e internacionales y de esta manera alcanzar la eficiencia y garantizar la competitividad. Es esencial determinar los canales de capacitación que se han de aplicar, la estructura en la que estará basado; por ejemplo, la comunicación en las diferentes etapas es fundamental, los recursos tecnológicos (TICs) como herramientas básicas para proporcionar información de la empresa a los empleados, en razón de que permitirá hacerlo con efectividad y en menor tiempo, garantizando que las actividades estarán desarrolladas en base a la Gestión de Calidad Total. Se evidencia que las organizaciones deben implementar acciones que desarrollen al personal, de modo que existen muchas maneras de preparación, entre las que sobresalen las capacitaciones virtuales, que ofrecen múltiples ventajas, como: la disponibilidad de horario y accesibilidad, además, la educación virtual fortalece la capacidad del pensamiento crítico.

Mujeres, géneros y participación política en América Latina
Authors: Guachichullca Ordoñez Laura
Published: August 2020

Reflexionar sobre la trascendencia histórica que representa la presencia protagónica de las mujeres latinoamericanas en estos tiempos, es una urgencia, tanto para entender su situación, como para alumbrar el decurso que, tras siglos de discriminación les ha permitido esa actualidad. Ha sido, obviamente un camino denso y espinoso, lleno de obstáculos, culturales, religiosos, sociales, económicos, pero, sobre todo, políticos. Todos ellos los ha ido superando, desde su participación casi anónima en los procesos independentistas, hasta la empinada gesta jurídico-normativa en los organismos de carácter multinacional que les ha permitido superar, al menos desde el punto de vista formal, todo tipo de discriminación. Concretamente, desde la investigación que resulta en este artículo, se plantea como objetivo, interpretar las características del protagonismo sociopolítico de las mujeres en latinoamericana, visto desde la perspectiva de la igualdad de género y de la pluralidad de discursos y prácticas que subyacen en esos movimientos sociales que reúnen solidariamente a las mujeres. Metodológicamente, la guía es una investigación documental, apoyada en un ejercicio hermenéutico y crítico. Se puede concluir que el papel de las mujeres en la organización sociopolítica de la sociedad latinoamericana, aún debe ser reivindicado pero sus bases jurídicas y hasta culturales ya están hechas.
