نقد الرواية اللغوية في كلام العرب - نماذج مختارة من النحو والصرف
Authors: سعد أحمد إبراهيم
Published: March 2023

اعتمد علماء اللغة والنحو الرواية اللغوية الموثوقة في فصاحتها في كلام العرب شاهداً لاستنباط القاعدة النحوية، ونظراً لتعدد روايتين للشاهد الواحد انبرى علماء اللغة للرد على الرواية اللغوية التي لا تثبت حُكماً نحويًّا ونقدها لغويًّا وبما يتناسب وكلام العرب عامة ولغة القرآن خاصة، لأنَّ دقة الرواية والنقل أساسان يتخذهما اللغوي حجةً في الاستشهاد، بسبب التغيير والتحريف أو التصحيف الذي رافق الرواية اللغوية كأنْ يرويها راوٍ بلغته فيعتمدها بعض علماء اللغة حجة فضلاً عن عدم ذكر قائلها أو الظن في بيئة روايتها، فهذا الأمر يحتاج إلى الدراسة والتحري لترجيح الرواية الصحيحة ولا سيما إذا حصل تعارض في رواية البيت الواحد على نحو لا يمكن الجمع بينهما، فأخذوا بأرجح الروايات عند التعارض، معتمدين على الذوق اللغوي والحس العربي آخذين بعين النظر الخصائص والاعتبارات اللغوية للنحو العربي، وعليه نقد علماء اللغة الرواية فنعتوها بالشاذة لأنها تمثل لغة قبيلة أو أفراداً معدودين فلا يصح أنْ يقال إنَّها لغة عامة على الرغم من أنَّ رواتها من علماء اللغة والنحو الموثوق بهم إلا أنَّ حكمَ القياس النحوي لا يعتمد على اللغة القليلة لمخالفتها أصول كلام العرب.

Cognitive Mapping and Class Consciousness: A Comparative Analysis of Saba Imtiaz’s Karachi, You’re Killing Me! and Kamila Shamsie’s Kartography
Authors: Kamran Amber , Rukh Harmain
Published: March 2023

This research explores the concept of cognitive mapping and underlines the challenge of class consciousness and its effects on the mental maps. Nuanced with subjective mappings, literature lacks comprehensive depictions of lived and navigated space. This study examines two Pakistani novels, Saba Imtiaz’s Karachi, You're Killing Me! and Kamila Shamsie’s Kartography, by using the theoretical framework of cognitive mapping proposed by Frederick Jameson. The comparative analysis reveals the subjective implications of the protagonists' social statuses in both texts. It highlights how different class structures map the same space and location in accordance with their respective social contexts. It also analyses the subjectivity of the depictions and the erroneous nature of city maps depicted in literary works in a way that not every faction of the society can relate to it.
Walled up alive: The Uncanny and Gender haunted spaces in Shirley Jackson’s Haunting of Hill House
Authors: Khan Ayesha Ejaz
Published: March 2023

Gothic literature is frequented by haunted texts particularly outlining a ruinous spatial relationship between the female and the haunted spaces. Using Shirley Jackson’s Haunting of Hill House as primary text, this paper studies how haunting spaces, underlying anxieties, and prejudices against women manifest the dark atmosphere that threatens and eventually engulfs the female. Chapter by chapter, the spatial hauntings are coupled with supporting ideas of the uncanny. The article explores how the uncanny exhibits itself in a haunted space and how gender is connected to suppressed fears in women. The conclusion drawn lays emphasis on the recognition of reasons backing gendered hauntings and how women extract fears from their repressed past and embed them within domestic borders. Though the hauntings that happen around women are not untrue, this article argues how women are more likely to suffer from hauntings due to repressed traumas and fears.

Hung up on Judas: A Case Study on the Pragmatic Usage of Religious Iconography in Legal Manuscripts of the Institutiones
Authors: Lagreou Helena
Published: March 2023

This article serves both as survey of illuminated manuscripts of the Institutiones and an analysis of the links between the iconography of criminal law and the model of Judas hanged. This investigation is based on the study of all digitalised manuscripts of the Institutiones. The corpus is composed of manuscripts ranging from the fifth to fifteenth century, produced all over Europe. The study elucidates how illuminated manuscript boomed during the thirteenth century, with Bologna at its heart. The production continued growing until the fourteenth century, to eventually die down during the fifteenth century. The world of legal manuscript’s illumination was Bologna-centric, however, some competitors, namely France and Germany, offered a visual counterpoint to understand this great iconography. When developing iconographic cycles around criminal law, two approaches existed. The approach developed in Northern Italy incorporated the representation of either a decapitation or a presentation of a prisoner. These illuminators created a specific iconography to further a distinctive visual identity within the field of legal manuscripts, whereas the rest of Europe adopted uniformly the image of a hanged man. This form of depiction takes for its model the motif of Judas hanged, heavily linking criminality to religion.

純網路銀行與傳統銀行之效率與生產力分析：以日本為例
Authors: 陳冠潔 陳冠潔 , Kuan-Chieh Chen 張興華
Published: March 2023

亞洲首家純網路銀行於2000年在日本誕生，該新興產業以創新技術帶給金融業全新的觀點並改變使用者的生活習性。純網路銀行開放後，是否促使傳統銀行加速改革或是影響營運，此為本文探討的要點。本研究以產出導向距離函數，除了探討純網路銀行與傳統銀行之技術效率，並進一步分析生產力的變動。研究結果顯示，傳統銀行分別在共同技術效率及技術缺口有較佳的表現，然而純網路銀行的共同技術效率在2018年開始呈現反轉。其次，在Malmquist生產力指數方面，純網路銀行比傳統銀行佳，其主要來自於技術效率的改善。

 

Asia’s first Internet-only bank was established in Japan in 2000. The emerging industry introduces innovative technologies into the financial industry to bring new perspectives and change users’ habits. This study analyzes whether the establishment of Internet-only banks accelerates the reform and affects the operations of conventional banks. Because Internet-only and conventional banks differ in characteristics and production techniques, this study uses metafrontier output-oriented distance functions to compare the technical efficiency of these two bank types. The results show that conventional banks demonstrate the higher technical efficiency of the metafrontier and technology gap ratio. However, a continual improvement in Internet-only banks’ technical efficiency of the metafrontier has been observed since 2018. Compared with conventional banks, Internet-only banks have a higher Malmquist productivity index. A closer examination reveals that technical efficiency variations constitute the main driver of growth in Internet-only banks.

 
從劉秀用人政策論東漢前期統治集團的構成
Authors: 許偉恒 許偉恒
Published: March 2023

本文藉重塑東漢政權建立的歷程，分析劉秀於不同階段所面對的統治問題如何導致用人政策的調整。本文將東漢政權建立歷程大致分為三個階段：第一階段為更始二年（24）至三年（25）的徇略河北時期，劉秀進入河北之初未有兵眾隨行，官屬團隊亦以潁川人為主體，其後河北兵將的加入雖有助劉秀成功建軍，然河北兵將勢力過大卻同時導致軍團內部勢力嚴重失衡；第二階段為建武元年（25）至六年（30）的平定東方勢力時期，劉秀於此階段透過積極提拔南陽籍將領，逐漸抑制河北兵將勢力的發展，然這同時使南陽籍將領的勢力日益壯大，不利於統治集團內部的勢力平衡；第三階段為建武六年（30）以後，劉秀有鑑於南陽功臣勢力日益膨脹，遂改為提拔更為親密的南陽籍親屬，並與河西豪族結為姻親及授以軍職，以壓抑南陽功臣勢力的過度膨脹。劉秀的一系列舉措有效壓制南陽功臣勢力的發展，並成功將政治及軍事權力收歸以劉秀為核心的親屬圈，從而確保皇權的鞏固及穩定。換言之，劉秀的用人政策不單決定功臣與外戚在東漢前期統治集團中的位置及角色，更深刻影響東漢前期的政治發展走向。

 

By reshaping the process of the establishment of the Eastern Han regime, this article analyzes how the problems of governance faced by Liu Xiu at different stages led to the adjustment of the Official Appointment policy. This article roughly divides the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty into three stages. The first stage was the period from 24 to 25 C.E. Liu Xiu was not accompanied by soldiers at the beginning of his entry into Hebei. When Liu Xiu striked for independence in Hebei in 24 C.E., he had to recruit Hebei soldiers to build the army due to insufficient military power on his own. This move caused a serious power imbalance within the ruling clique. The second stage was the period from 25 to 30 C.E. Liu Xiu actively promoted the Nanyang generals so as to suppress the power of the Beizhous’. But at the same time, the forces of the generals of Nanyang were growing, which was not conducive to the balance of power within the ruling group. In the third stage, Liu Xiu discoverd that the power of Nanyang generals was expanding, so he changed to promote more close relatives of Nanyang, and formed marriage bonds with Hexi nobles to suppress the excessive expansion of Nanyang generals’ power. Liu Xiu’s series of measures effectively suppressed the development of Nanyang generals’ forces, and successfully brought political and military power back to the circle of relatives with Liu Xiu as the core, thus ensuring the consolidation and stability of imperial power. In other words, Liu Xiu’s employment policy not only determined the positions and roles of heroes and relatives in the ruling group in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, but also profoundly affected the political development trend of the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

 
天下與佛國土：六世紀中國南朝佛教王權與海上絲路
Authors: 李志鴻 李志鴻
Published: March 2023

本文以六世紀中國南朝與海上絲路國家的往來為基礎，透過佛教王權的視角，探討中國南朝官方如何運用佛教王權的理論，將南朝國都建康建構為東亞世界的中心，並以此中心建構新穎且特別的對外關係。南朝是中國與海上諸國貿易、外交往來的興盛期，建康城成為此一時期中國與海上絲路諸國往來的重要城市。在梁朝佛教王權的發展下，建康城幾乎成為了佛教都城，梁王權的性質深刻地影響中國與海上絲路諸國的外交往來。在六世紀中國的官方文獻記載中，南朝官方與海上絲路諸國的外交往來，佛教成為外交文書的創作母題。這些帶有佛教色彩的外交文書，透過中國官方對於外國文書的翻譯與製作，梁朝彷彿成為了海南諸國眼中理想的佛教帝國。這除了可見南朝佛教王權的發達，亦可發現中國梁王權利用佛教與海南國家締結關係，透過海上諸國對其佛教聖王地位的承認，滿足梁朝作為中國與東亞世界中心的目的。

 

This article focuses on the communication between Southern dynasties of China and countries of the maritime silk road in the sixth century, via the perspective of Buddhist kingship, to discuss how the authority of Southern dynasties of China utilized the Buddhist kingship as a political and diplomatic idea to construct the capital Jiankang (建康) as the center of East Asia and developed the new and special international relations. The international trade and diplomatic communications were prosperous in the period of Southern dynasties of China and the capital Jiankang had become an important city on the maritime silk road. Under the development of Buddhist kingship of the Liang dynasty, the capital Jiankang almost had become a Buddhist sacred city and the Buddhist kingship of the Liang dynasty strongly affected the diplomatic communications between the countries of the maritime silk road. In the Chinese official records in the sixth century, Buddhism was the main motif in the diplomatic documents of the Southern dynasties of China and countries of the maritime silk road. These highly Buddhism-influenced diplomatic documents, were translated and retouched by the Chinese official government of Liang that the kingdom of Liang almost regarded as the ideal Buddhist empire in the eyes of the countries of the maritime silk road. It could illustrate the development of the Buddhist kingship of Liang dynasty. Also, it demonstrates that the official authority of Liang took advantage of establishing formal diplomatic relations with Buddhist ideas, through receiving the diplomatic recognition of being the sacred Buddhist empire, Liang succeeded in fulfilling the goal of being the heartland of China and East Asia.

 
Of Life and Death: African Cultural Worldviews and Black American Survival in Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon and Amiri Baraka’s Slave Ship
Authors: Owusu Portia
Published: March 2023

This article provides a reading of Amiri Baraka’s play, Slave Ship: A Historical Pageant (1967) and Toni Morrison’s novel, Song of Solomon (1977). It argues that in both texts, written during the racial and political unrest of 1960s and 1970s United States, threats of violence and death toward Black individuals and communities allowed the formation of unique perspectives on life and death. Fundamentally, it was the belief that death is the beginning of life in another form, rather than its end. This belief and its corresponding ideas recall African worldviews and cultural philosophies, transported to the New World by enslaved Africans, which reject death as a state of powerlessness and hold that the dead, from the realms of the afterlife, have power to change the material world. When these ideas are articulated through Black nationalist discourses, death, and particularly suicide, is presented as a form of resistance. Specifically, self-inflicted death becomes a mean through which one contend for survival. The article argues that in their characterizations and various narrative strategies, both Morrison and Baraka interrogate the usefulness of these ideas by considering them as solutions to racialized injuries and injustices of post Emancipation Back American life.

Os búfalos foram originalmente inseridos no Brasil em meados do século XIX. A Associação Brasileira de Criadores de Búfalos (ABCB) tem por função incentivar a bubalinocultura no país, por meio da organização dos principais interesses dos produtores.  A criação de bubalinos destina-se principalmente a produção de carne, mas percebesse o crescimento na exploração leiteira. Os búfalos estão sujeitos a doenças zoonóticas assim como os bovinos, sendo assim carecem de cuidados médicos mão de obra especializada, para que a criação possa apresentar um estado de saúde física e mental completa, em equilíbrio com o ambiente em que vive. Mesmo com a predominância da bovinocultura, a bubalinocultura é um campo promissor ao agronegócio. Este trabalho tem por objetivo conhecer a bubalinocultura no Brasil, suas principais raças, bem-estar animal e sua importância ao agronegócio. Cabe aos profissionais do agronegócio a correta orientação aos produtores e proprietários rurais sobre as características de criação da bubalinocultura no Brasil.

O problema da menoridade em Capitães da Areia: uma análise sobre as imagens da infância desamparada e os embates de classes presentes na obra literária de Jorge Amado (1937)
Authors: De Lima Ferreira Alex
Published: March 2023

Este artigo propõe uma breve análise sobre as imagens da infância desamparada presentes na obra Capitães da Areia, publicada pelo escritor baiano Jorge Amado, em 1937. Trazendo questões de raça e classe para o centro da discussão, procuramos demonstrar como o autor não rompe plenamente com o discurso regulador da infância que se estabelecia durante as primeiras décadas do século XX, o qual buscava conduzir especialmente a infância pobre para a esfera do trabalho e para a obediência civil. Ademais, apontamos como a infância não se trata de uma categoria universal, pois é identificada como um conceito histórico, social e economicamente determinado. Representando a infância nos anos 1930, por exemplo, Jorge Amado substitui a noção de pureza da infância pela categoria do menor, um problema a ser enfrentado pelos agentes higienistas do Estado.

Published: March 2023

A simple, precise, accurate, and rapid derivative spectrophotometric approach for the simultaneous quantification of sulfacetamide sodium (SUL) and prednisolone acetate (PRE) in the combined dosage form has been established and validated. The wavelengths selected for analysis are 230 nm (ZCP of SUL) and 244 nm (ZCP of PRE) for SUL and PRE, respectively. The suggested technique has exhibited linearity for a concentration range of 2–6 µg mL-1 for PRE and 5–15 µg mL-1 for SUL, respectively. Both medications had percentage recoveries that varied from 99.41 to 101.8. The suggested approach has been validated according to ICH guidelines [Q2(R1)] for linearity, LOD, LOQ, accuracy and precision. The proposed method can be successfully utilized to analyze SUL and PRE concurrently in ocular formulations.
Gender equality and protection for the girl-child education in conflict environments: The case of Afghanistan and Nigeria
Authors: Oluwashakin Ajinde
Published: March 2023

Certain cultural practices and poverty have inhibited girls’ and women’s life chances and opportunities for long before the dawn of the 21st century, regardless of their number and productivity. Moreover, in most developing countries, girl-child education has not been given the priority it deserved. While the gender equality issue has gained global attention at the level of the United Nations since 1948, it is still regarded as ‘unfinished business,’ of our time. Therefore, the paper examines the vulnerability facing girl-child education and the protection needed to secure their education, for their self-dignity and sustainable development. The feminist theory is adopted, as well as the concept of the responsibility to protect (R2P). The study is descriptive and utilizes data from books, journals, newspapers, and websites of relevant organizations, especially the UN, UNESCO, and UNICEF. Content analysis of daily news feeds, from verified media stables, provides authentic data. Findings revealed that the girl-child is more vulnerable than the boy-child in conflict environments. There is a deliberate assault on girl-child education. More girls are out-of-school than boys. Both the domestic and foreign policies of the Nigerian and Afghan governments clearly showed the extent of their responsibility to protect girl-child education, partly to achieve the UN and AU quality education goal. The paper concludes that the protection of girl-child education must be made a priority of the state because the female gender is the bearer of life and reproductive sustainability. The girl-child should be provided with free quality education to be equipped for economic empowerment. School premises in conflict environments need to be more fortified fromterrorists, bandits, and kidnappers. Intelligence gatherings need to be broadened and sustained such that government security agencies should not only be on the defensive but also the offensive against terrorist operational bases.

Authors: Fatokun Olalekan Samuel , Rotimi Olajide Opeyeoluwa
Published: March 2023

The realization of a peaceful and stable Africa as one of the goals and aspirations ofthe ‘African Union Agenda 2063: the Africa We Want’ is achievable but only in anenvironment devoid of insecurity and other conditions that threaten human existence. Theinsecurity challenges in some parts of Africa have assumed a formidable dimension thatrequires a multi-stakeholder approach to resolve. Meanwhile, good governance has provedto be a virile mechanism to address insecurity and ameliorate conditions that threatenhuman existence. It is a major driving force towards peace, security, and sustainabledevelopment in any country of the world that has experienced or still experiencing suchdevelopment. This study argues that a stable and peaceful Africa is a mirage in the faceof insecurity that is prevalent in some parts of Africa and that good governance is themajor antidote to address the issue of insecurity. This study employs content analysis as asource of data collection and engages descriptive research design in its analysis.
ECOWAS regional integration and trans-border security management in Nigeria
Authors: Nebeife Chigozie Joseph , Chinwuba Michael Emeka , Onwuanibe Jude Onyekachi
Published: March 2023

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) treaty was signed in Lagos on May 28, 1975, with a mandate to promote cooperation among memberstates and thus create a regional economic bloc. The essence of the treaty is to remove obstacles to the free movement of goods, capital, and people in the sub-region. While this integration project is noted for economic prosperity and development, it tends to have occasioned trans-border security management challenges in West Africa. Therefore, this paper examines the management of trans-border security challenges emanating from regional integration efforts in the West African sub-region. It is anchored on Neo-functional integration theory and relies on qualitative secondary data sourced through documents. This paper posits that achieving socio-economic prosperity for West Africa required eliminating certain barriers and restrictions to economic activities. However, the paper establishes that the implementation of integration programmes has thrown up new challenges for trans-border security management due to seemingly unregulated migration. It concludes that the integration programme wrapped in the ECOWAS protocol on the free movement of goods and persons has constituted bottlenecks for trans-border security management in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended among others that Nigeria’s government should strengthen its border patrol and establish a joint border patrol between Nigeria and other neighbouring countries to ensure effective trans-bordersecurity management.
Examination of “Rationality’’ on President George Bush (Jr) Second Gulf War Intelligence
Authors: Bodunde David Oluwafemi
Published: March 2023

The world is faced with a series of security problems and the need to address such problems depends on the leaders at the helm of affairs. International problems such as the threat of terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be treated with levity, they require deep thinking with a rational mind to prevent or cause war. However, the issue of leadership committing his nation to war or not is been addressed within the corridor of exercise of power. Critical case of the second Gulf war had questioned the rationality of President George Bush (Jnr) in prosecuting the war despite opinion polls that were against it. Since the war attracted political and academic debate bothering on rationality, it is worthwhile to attempt this paper by examining President George Bush’s (Jnr) rationality or otherwise in going for the war. The paper is based on qualitative analysis with the application of textbooks, journals, periodicals, and adopted interviews published on the websites. It also concluded that rationality is a beauty in the eye of the beholder and that American foreign policies are the instruments that any of its leaders must follow to achieve national interest based on primacy, democratic philosophy, and a world order based on his degree of rationality.
Political Instability and Insecurity in Africa: Implications for African Union Agenda 2063
Authors: Ukaeje Obinna
Published: March 2023

The idea of the transformation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) to the African Union (AU) in 1999, by African Heads of State and governments, was to accelerate the processes of regional economic integration in the continent. Thus, the AU came into being to enable the continent to play a significant role in global economic affairs, while addressing other multifaceted social, economic, and political problems that tend to hinder progress in the continent. However, after more than two decades of its transformation, and despite the adoption of Agenda 2063 which aims to accelerate economic progress in Africa, the continent remains at a crossroads in its struggle to grapple with the challenges of achieving its core objectives. Drawing data largely from secondary sources of information, the paper attempted a critical examination of the political instability and insecurity across many African states, especially as the continent strives towards achieving economic progress through the framework of Agenda 2063, and found out that political instability and insecurity are fundamental challenges standing against the actualization of the Agenda’s objectives. The paper, therefore, concluded that unless these challenges are mitigated, the Agenda 2063 will remain nothing but a document that cannot be actualized because the peace and security required to attend such an enviable feat is seriously in breach in a majority of the states of the Union. The paper recommended the entrenchment of democratic culture and constitutionalism as well as strengthening of existing institutions of governance as the first step towards achieving the desired peace and security that will ensure the economic progress of the continent.

La presente investigación tuvo como propósito determinar la influencia del tiempo efectivo de cirugía sobre el dolor postexodoncia tardío de terceros molares inferiores incluidos, en pacientes atendidos en la Facultad de Odontología, Universidad de los Andes, Mérida, Venezuela. Se realizó un estudio longitudinal, prospectivo, en 81 pacientes entre 17 y 33 años, seleccionados aplicando muestreo probabilístico (MAS). Fueron extraídos 127 molares por odontólogos con experiencia desde 0-5 a >10 años. Se realizó valoración clínica, radiográfica (panorámica) y clasificación de molares según Winter y Pell-Gregory. Se aplicó anestesia troncular mandibular e infiltrativa; se diseñó y levantó colgajo Winter modificado o Envolvente según indicación, con posterior exodoncia del 38, 48 o ambos. Se registró el tiempo efectivo de cirugía y se efectuó cierre primario en todos los casos. La sutura se retiró a los 7 días, diagnosticando el dolor presente. La prueba Chi-Cuadrado fue significativa (p = 0,011). Exodoncias con Dolor leve (25,2%) y Moderado (7,9%) transcurrieron en más de 40 minutos. Se concluye que a mayor tiempo efectivo de cirugía se incrementó el dolor postquirúrgico tardío. Las inclusiones mesio-angulares, clase II, A, B y la experiencia profesional, fueron determinantes en la dificultad e incremento del tiempo efectivo.

Published: March 2023

With the growing prevalence of the Internet of Health Things (IoHT), there is an increasing need for reliable and precise categorization of electrocardiogram (ECG) indications for the early detection of cardiovascular diseases. In this research, we propose a machine learning approach for ECG classification in IoHT applications. Our solution use wavelet transforms to clean the ECG records before passing them to the model. Then, a stack of long short-term memory (LSTM) cells is built to learn the temporal interrelations in the ECG signals and make accurate predictions. We assessed the performance of our model on a publicly available dataset of ECG signals, achieving an overall accuracy of 97.5%. The experimental findings demonstrate that our models can effectively classify ECG signals in IoHT applications, providing a valuable tool for the early discovery of vascular diseases. Furthermore, our model can be certainly incorporated into IoHT systems, providing a reliable and efficient solution for ECG classification.
Reimagining the Archive: Where did women's poetry go in Ireland?
Authors:   Victoria University, Charles Sturt University, Bodsworth Roxanne
Published: March 2023

When exploring the relationship between her Irish ancestry and her creativity, Roxanne learned that women’s poetry in Ireland was largely obliterated from the literary canon and missing from the archives. Early Irish poetry was often anonymous, and scholars presumed this indicated male authorship even when written with a female persona. However, while women’s poetry may have, as Mary N Harris says, gone ‘unnoticed and unpublished’, the lack of archival evidence does not indicate that women were not composing poetry and an increasing body of academic research supports this argument. The mythological collection makes significant references to female poets, and oral poetry such as the lullaby and the lament commonly went unrecorded. Irish poets, including Eavan Boland and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, demonstrate that contemporary poetry can bridge the gap where female poets were actively written out of history to a new understanding of the importance of their contribution.

Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar estudos sobre Qualidade de Vida, Saúde e Segurança do trabalho. No seguinte estudo, para se obter dados qualitativos, foram utilizadas pesquisas bibliográficas (seguindo pressupostos teóricos de autores como Chiavenato, 2002; Fernandes, 1996; e Bussab e Morettin (2004) e Robbins, 1999, dentre outros) e questionários com perguntas abertas aplicadas a uma amostra de quatorze motoristas que transportam alunos para as universidades da cidade de Sobral, dentro de uma população de aproximadamente quarenta e um profissionais. Os resultados obtidos vão ao encontro do que foi citado no referencial teórico, em se tratando das necessidades repassadas por eles nas entrevistas. Com isso, ainda faz-se necessário um estudo complementar visto que trata-se de um tema bastante abrangente mas pouco explorado. Estudo esse que possa alcançar resultados positivos que proporcionem mais segurança e melhorias no desenvolvimento das atividades desempenhadas pelos motoristas.

Published: March 2023

This work helps in the implementation of wind energy projects in the city of Douala. Wind data used (speed and direction) were collected from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, at a height of 10m. The use of wind speed distribution laws allowed us to obtain predictions of the available wind energy on-site at different altitudes. Then, the wind direction is established for the orientation of the wind turbines and the turbulence analysis is done to highlight the exploitable wind periods. The results show that harnessing wind energy is possible on site from 10 AM to 06 PM. The wind potential at 138 m height has an average speed of 8.15 m/s for an overall energy density of 749.78 W/m2 for roughness class 0, and an average speed of 3.7 m/s for an overall energy density of 69.118 W/m2 for roughness class 4. The wind turbines will be installed in front of the north-north-east direction between 15 and 25°. Finally, the energy mapping of the city's wind resources allows us to estimate the total energy available at a reference height.

Published: March 2023

Ambliopia didefinisikan sebagai kondisi penurunan tajam penglihatan pada satu atau kedua mata walaupun dengan koreksi tajam penglihatan terbaik (best corrected visual acuity), yang tidak berhubungan dengan kelainan struktural anatomi mata ataupun jaras penglihatan. Ambliopia merupakan penyebab penurunan tajam penglihatan paling sering pada anak dan dewasa. Sebagian besar kasus dapat dicegah dan reversibel apabila terdeteksi dini dan mendapat terapi yang tepat. Terapi ambliopia mencakup menghilangkan penyebab terhalangnya aksis penglihatan, koreksi kelainan refraksi yang ada, dilanjutkan terapi untuk merangsang penggunaan mata yang mengalami ambliopia.

Amblyopia is defined as reduction of best-corrected visual acuity in one eye or both that cannot be attributed to any structural abnormality of the eye or visual pathways. Amblyopia is the most common cause of decreased visual acuity in children and adults. Most cases are preventable and reversible if detected early and with appropriate therapy. Treatment includes removal of any obstruction of the visual axis, correction of any significant refractive errors, followed by treatment designed to encourage utilization of the amblyopic eye.
