Self-Powered Smart Insole for Monitoring Human Gait Signals
Authors: Wang Wei , Cao Junyi , Yu Jian , Liu Rong , Bowen Chris R. , Liao Wei-Hsin
Published: December 2019

With the rapid development of low-power consumption wireless sensors and wearable electronics, harvesting energy from human motion to enable self-powered sensing is becoming desirable. Herein, a pair of smart insoles integrated with piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanogenerators (NGs) are fabricated to simultaneously harvest energy from human motion and monitor human gait signals. Multi-target magnetron sputtering technology is applied to form the aluminum electrode layers on the surface of the PVDF film and the self-powered insoles are fabricated through advanced 3D seamless flat-bed knitting technology. Output responses of the NGs are measured at different motion speeds and a maximum value of 41 V is obtained, corresponding to an output power of 168.1 μW. By connecting one NG with an external circuit, the influence of external resistance, capacitor, and motion speed on the charging characteristics of the system is systematically investigated. To demonstrate the potential of the smart insoles for monitoring human gait signals, two subjects were asked to walk on a treadmill at different speeds or with a limp. The results show that one can clearly distinguish walking with a limp from regular slow, normal, and fast walking states by using multiscale entropy analysis of the stride intervals.

Authors: Guimarães Eduardo , Ramos Ana , Janeira Manuel A. , Baxter-Jones Adam D.G. , Maia José
Published: December 2019

This study (1) investigated the effects of age, maturity status, anthropometrics, and years of training on 11–14-year-old male basketball players’ physical performance and technical skills development, and (2) estimated the contribution of maturity status and training years on players’ physical and technical performances. The sample consisted of 150 participants, average age 13.3 ± 0.7 years, grouped by early, average, and late maturation. Biological maturation, anthropometry, and training data were collected using standard procedures. Measures of physical performance assessed included: aerobic fitness, abdominal muscular strength and endurance, static strength, lower body explosive power, upper body explosive power, speed, and agility and body control. Basketball-specific technical skills were also recorded. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used to compare group differences. Results indicated that early maturers were taller, heavier, and had greater strength, power, speed, and agility (p < 0.05). When controlling for age, height, and body mass, early maturers remained stronger, quicker, and more agile (p < 0.05). They were also more skillful in the speed shot shooting test (p < 0.05). Apart from tests of aerobic fitness, abdominal muscular strength and endurance, and lower body explosive power, maturity status was the primary contributor to the variance in the physical performance tests. Years of training was the primary contributor to the variance in the technical skills tests. Whilst physical performance was dependent on maturity status, technical skills were influenced by years of training. Since both biological maturation and years of training play an important role in basketball performance, we recommend that coaches consider the effects of these two confounders when recruiting and selecting youth basketballers.

Authors: Gałaj Jerzy , Drzymała Tomasz , Wolny Paweł
Published: December 2019

The main purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of some parameters (water mist flow rate and type of gas used) of the hybrid extinguishing system on the fire environment (temperature as well as carbon monoxide and oxygen concentrations) in a closed room. Hybrid fire-extinguishing systems in which water mist is driven by inert gas combine the advantages of typical fog systems and fixed gas extinguishing devices. They have been developed in the last years but are now being used more and more often and the preparation of standards for them is planned for 2020. For this purpose, many fire tests with this system should be conducted. Some of them are discussed in this paper. Two different flow rates of water mist (1.5 or 3 dm3/min) and inert gas (nitrogen or air) were used during hybrid system testing. Some parameters of the fire environment in the compartment such as temperature measured by thermocouples as well as carbon monoxide and oxygen concentrations measured by electrochemical gas sensors are presented here. The characteristic values of the extinguishing process are also included. The assumed times of ensuring safe conditions in the room have been confirmed.
Long-Term Distributional Impacts of European Cap-and-Trade Climate Policies: A CGE Multi-Regional Analysis
Authors: Cunha Montenegro Roland , Lekavičius Vidas , Brajković Jurica , Fahl Ulrich , Hufendiek Kai
Published: December 2019

Carbon pricing is a policy with the potential to reduce CO2 emissions in the household sector and support the European Union in achieving its environmental targets by 2050. However, the policy faces acceptance problems from the majority of the public. In the framework of the project Role of technologies in an energy efficient economy–model-based analysis of policy measures and transformation pathways to a sustainable energy system (REEEM), financed by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program, we investigate the effects of such a policy in order to understand its challenges and opportunities. To that end, we use a recursive-dynamic multi-regional Computable General Equilibrium model to represent carbon pricing as a cap-and-trade system and calculate its impacts on consumption of energy goods, incidence of carbon prices, and gross income growth for different income groups. We compare one reference scenario and four scenario variations with distinct CO2 reduction targets inside and outside of the EU. The results demonstrate that higher emission reductions, compared to the reference scenario, lead to slower Gross Domestic Product growth, but also produce a more equitable increase of gross income and can help reduce income inequalities. In this case, considering that the revenues of carbon pricing are paid back to the households, the gross income of the poorest quintile grows as much as, or even more in some cases, than the gross income of the richest quintile.

Authors: Chiradeja Pathomthat , Ngaopitakkul Atthapol
Published: December 2019

The building envelope has a direct impact on the overall energy consumption of a building. Thus, an improvement in the building envelope using energy-efficient material can yield the desired energy performance. This study is based on the materials and compositions used in building envelopes in compliance with the building energy code of Thailand. The building under study is an educational building located in Bangkok, Thailand. Both the energy and the economic aspects of retrofitted building envelopes are discussed in this study. The energy performance was evaluated by calculating the thermal transfer value and whole building energy consumption using the building energy code (BEC) software. The simulation was done under the assumption that the building envelope in the case study building was retrofitted with different materials and compositions. The study determines the feasibility of retrofitting buildings using energy-efficient material by utilizing the discounted payback period and internal rate of return (IRR) as indicators. The results show that retrofitted building envelopes in every case can reduce the whole building energy consumption. In the best envelope configuration, energy consumption can decrease by 65%. In addition, the economic potential is also high, with an IRR value of approximately 15% and a payback period of 23 less than nine years. These finding indicate that a building envelope made with energy-efficient material can achieve good results for both energy performance and economic feasibility.
A Structured Literature Review on Obsolete Electric Vehicles Management Practices
Authors: D’Adamo Idiano , Rosa Paolo
Published: December 2019

The use of electricity for transportation needs offers the chance to replace fossil fuels with greener energy sources. Potentially, coupling sustainable transports with Renewable Energies (RE) could reduce significantly both Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and the dependency on oil imports. However, the expected growth rate of Electric Vehicles (EVs) could become also a potential risk for the environment if recycling processes will continue to function in the current way. To this aim, the paper reviews the international literature on obsolete EV management practices, by considering scientific works published from 2000 up to 2019. Results show that the experts have paid great attention to this topic, given both the critical and valuable materials embedded in EVs and their main components (especially traction batteries), by offering interesting potential profits, and identifying the most promising End-of-Life (EoL) strategy for recycling both in technological and environmental terms. However, the economics of EV recycling systems have not yet been well quantified. The intent of this work is to enhance the current literature gaps and to propose future research streams.
Proposing a Value Field Model for Predicting Homebuyers’ Purchasing Behavior of Green Residential Buildings: A Case Study in China
Authors: Zhang Yajing , Yuan Jingfeng , Li Lingzhi , Cheng Hu
Published: December 2019

Understanding the motivations that stimulate homebuyers’ green purchasing behavior can increase market demand for green products, especially considering the comparably low market share of green products worldwide. In this context, various studies have been conducted examining consumers’ intentions to pay for green products. Nevertheless, there is still limited research on evaluating homebuyers’ purchasing behavior toward green residential buildings. This study argues that the value of green residential buildings (GRBs) affects their adoption, and thus exerts an invisible force on homebuyers’ purchasing behavior. It also finds that field theory provides a scientific perspective on this phenomenon. Thus, this paper proposes a value field model for evaluating homebuyers’ GRB purchasing behavior based on physical field theory and psychology field theory. In particular, physical field theory provides the measurement formula, while psychological field theory explains the effect of the force stimulating homebuyers’ purchasing intention, and ultimately influencing their purchasing behavior. The initial model consisted of a field source (green perceived value), target charge (GRB demand), distance (psychological distance), and value field factor. As the value field factor was calculated to be approximately equal to 1, the final model is a composite of a field source (green perceived value), target charge (GRB demand), and distance (psychological distance). The results validate the construction of the value field model on the basis of field theory. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by analyzing GRB value and provides a clearer understanding of how GRBs and the environment combine to fulfill homebuyers’ requirements and influence their GRB purchasing behavior.

Authors: Song Sung-Young , Ryu Hwa-Sung , Shin Sang-Heon , Kim Deuck-Mo , Park and Won-Jun
Published: December 2019

In the case of fire, surface treatment agents used in external insulation finishing methods are substances that are vulnerable to fire. This study examined the incorporation and applicability of expandable graphite in surface preparation mortar so that heat transfer to the surface part can be suppressed even when the cementitious surface preparation mortar is thinly constructed in the external insulation method. Experimental results showed that the mechanical properties of surface preparation mortar were improved by using the fly ash and silica fume. Surface treatment materials using expanded graphite have a characteristic of expanding when a fire occurs. It was experimentally confirmed that incorporating expanded graphite can reduce the phenomenon of heat penetration to the rear surface when the surface preparation mortar is exposed to high temperatures such as a flame.
Micro-Distortion Detection of Lidar Scanning Signals Based on Geometric Analysis
Authors: Liu Shuai , Chen Xiang , Li Ying , Cheng Xiaochun
Published: December 2019

When detecting micro-distortion of lidar scanning signals, current hardwires and algorithms have low compatibility, resulting in slow detection speed, high energy consumption, and poor performance against interference. A geometric statistics-based micro-distortion detection technology for lidar scanning signals was proposed. The proposed method built the overall framework of the technology, used TCD1209DG (made by TOSHIBA, Tokyo, Japan) to implement a linear array CCD (charge-coupled device) module for photoelectric conversion, signal charge storage, and transfer. Chip FPGA was used as the core component of the signal processing module for signal preprocessing of TCD1209DG output. Signal transmission units were designed with chip C8051, FT232, and RS-485 to perform lossless signal transmission between the host and any slave. The signal distortion feature matching algorithm based on geometric statistics was adopted. Micro-distortion detection of lidar scanning signals was achieved by extracting, counting, and matching the distorted signals. The correction of distorted signals was implemented with the proposed method. Experimental results showed that the proposed method had faster detection speed, lower detection energy consumption, and stronger anti-interference ability, which effectively improved micro-distortion correction.

A Multifactor Fuzzy Time-Series Fitting Model for Forecasting the Stock Index
Authors: Tsai Ming-Chi , Cheng Ching-Hsue , Tsai Meei-Ing
Published: December 2019

Fuzzy time series (FTS) models have gotten much scholarly attention for handling sequential data with incomplete and ambiguous patterns. Many conventional time series methods employ a single variable in forecasting without considering other variables that can impact stock volatility. Hence, this paper modified the multi-period adaptive expectation model to propose a novel multifactor FTS fitting model for forecasting the stock index. Furthermore, after a literature review, we selected three important factors (stock index, trading volume, and the daily difference of two stock market indexes) to build a multifactor FTS fitting model. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, the three datasets were collected from the Nasdaq Stock Market (NASDAQ), Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (TAIEX), and Hang Seng Index (HSI), and the RMSE (root mean square error) was employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The results show that the proposed model is better than the listing models, and these research findings could provide suggestions to the investors as references.

Published: December 2019

Invasive species are among the top five causes of biodiversity loss worldwide. Arundo donax has progressively colonized the riparian zones of Mediterranean rivers with detrimental effects on terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity, being catalogued as one of the 100 worst invasive species. In order to control this invasive species and restore native riparian vegetation, different methods have been traditionally used, depending on the environmental, economic and social context. Here, the effect of repeated above-ground removal of A. donax on aquatic and terrestrial communities was assessed by testing two different frequencies of mowing (monthly-intensive and quarterly-extensive), combined with the plantation of native species. Specifically, it was evaluated if riparian vegetation, birds and aquatic macroinvertebrates showed significant responses throughout time and between restoration treatments based on 4-year annual biomonitoring data (2015–2018). Changes in taxonomic diversity and ecological quality indices for the different biological communities were tested using mixed-effect models (LMEs). Similarly, comparisons between restored and reference sites were also performed. LMEs were also applied to assess how riparian variables were related to bird and aquatic macroinvertebrate indices. NMDS and MGLM-Mvabund analyses were performed to detect significant post-treatment differences in taxa composition compared to the initial state and reference sites. During this short-term assessment, increases in riparian and aquatic macroinvertebrate richness and quality indices were found, as well as significant decreases in A. donax height, density and cover, without significant differences between restoration treatments. However, differential effects between extensive (positive-neutral effect) and intensive treatments (neutral-negative effect) were detected for bird richness, density and abundance. After three years of restoration actions, restored sites are still far from reference values in terms of taxa composition, species richness and ecological quality, especially for riparian vegetation and birds. Given the high cost and the great efforts required for restoration, extensive repeated mowing, together with native species plantation, are only recommended on river reaches not fully invaded by A. donax and with a high ecological interest.
Inter-Blade Vortex and Vortex Rope Characteristics of a Pump-Turbine in Turbine Mode under Low Flow Rate Conditions
Authors: Kim Seung-Jun , Suh Jun-Won , Choi Young-Seok , Park Jungwan , Park No-Hyun , Kim Jin-Hyuk
Published: December 2019

Pump-turbines are often used to provide a stable power supply with a constant frequency in response to intermittent renewable energy resources. However, existing pumped-storage power stations often operate under off-design conditions because of the increasing amounts of inconsistent renewable resources that have been added to the grid. Under off-design low flow rate conditions, inter-blade vortex and vortex rope phenomena usually develop in the runner and draft tube passages, respectively, in turbine mode. These vortices cause complicated flow patterns and pressure fluctuations that destabilize the operation of the pump-turbine system. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of correlation between the inter-blade vortex and vortex rope phenomena under low flow rate conditions. Three-dimensional steady- and unsteady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations were calculated with a two-phase flow analysis using a shear stress transport as the turbulence model. The inter-blade vortices in the runner passages were captured well at the low flow rate conditions, and the vortex rope was found to develop within a specific range of low flow rates. These vortex regions showed a blockage effect and complicated flow characteristics with backflow in the passages. Moreover, higher unsteady pressure characteristics occurred at locations where the vortices were especially pronounced.
A Comparison of Irrigation-Water Containment Methods and Management Strategies Between Two Ornamental Production Systems to Minimize Water Security Threats
Authors: Ristvey Andrew , Belayneh Bruk , Lea-Cox John
Published: December 2019

Water security in ornamental plant production systems is vital for maintaining profitability. Expensive, complicated, or potentially dangerous treatment systems, together with skilled labor, is often necessary to ensure water quality and plant health. Two contrasting commercial ornamental crop production systems in a mesic region are compared, providing insight into the various strategies employed using irrigation-water containment and treatment systems. The first is a greenhouse/outdoor container operation which grows annual ornamental plants throughout the year using irrigation booms, drip emitters, and/or ebb and flow systems depending on the crop, container size, and/or stage of growth. The operation contains and recycles 50–75% of applied water through a system of underground cisterns, using a recycling reservoir and a newly constructed 0.25 ha slow-sand filtration (SSF) unit. Groundwater provides additional water when needed. Water quantity is not a problem in this operation, but disease and water quality issues, including agrochemicals, are of potential concern. The second is a perennial-plant nursery which propagates cuttings and produces field-grown trees and containerized plants. It has a series of containment/recycling reservoirs that capture rainwater and irrigation return water, together with wells of limited output. Water quantity is a more important issue for this nursery, but poor water quality has had some negative economic effects. Irrigation return water is filtered and sanitized with chlorine gas before being applied to plants via overhead and micro-irrigation systems. The agrochemical paclobutrazol was monitored for one year in the first operation and plant pathogens were qualified and quantified over two seasons for both production systems. The two operations employ very different water treatment systems based on their access to water, growing methods, land topography, and capital investment. Each operation has experienced different water quantity and quality vulnerabilities, and has addressed these threats using a variety of technologies and management techniques to reduce their impacts.

La sépulture de Hosty en Bohême méridionale. Nouvelles considérations
Authors: Sankot Pavel
Published: December 2019

The Hosty tomb in southern Bohemia, new considerations.

The example of conservation of the openwork belt-hook from Hosty has been used to demonstrate that the belt-hooks from Bohemia were as rich in decoration and construction elements as it is the case with bronze products of the Western - La Tène zone. At the same time the find concerned exposes the system of decoration of Early La Tène belt-hooks in Bohemia. The initial motif of the master of the beast of North Italian origin had been here, same as in the Rhineland, substituted by a schematized human mask. On the object of the study it is framed by series of symmetrically set pairs of S -shaped animal motifs.

The masterly iron working in local workshops was capable to satisfy even the different aesthetic demands of East - La Tène zone.
Insular Celtic tattooing : History, myth and metaphor
Authors: Macquarrie Charles
Published: December 2019

Irish warriors opposed to the early saints are often wearing tattoos, described as diabolic signs by the hagiographers. Tattoo, Lat. stigma, Ir. rind, or crechad, has frequently been associated with the name of the Picts, and sometimes considered as a non Indo-European usage (Zimmer, N. Chadwick). But it must be admitted that tattooing has been widely practiced by Insular Celts. Among classical sources, Caesar only says that Bretons paint their body with woad (uitrum), but others (Herodian, Claudian, Solinus) refer precisely to tattooing by puncturing. They are all aware of the social meaning of tattoo, which they criticize as Barbarian. Isidore admits that it might be a mark of higher status.

The Bible criticizes foreigners’tattoos (Leviticus) but S. Paul (Galatians, end) refers to his own stigmata as to glorious marks, comparable to the tattoos of Roman soldiers. These two contradictory views on tattoing are present in the early Irish literature : tattoo means paganism, or ruthless violence in the hagiographical literature, mais it might be considered as the distinct mark of heroes : though references to tattooing are rarely found in the early Irish sagas, this study endeavours to search for every available evidence.
Armes Prydein, Hywel Dda, and the reign of Edmund of Wessex
Authors: Breeze Andrew
Published: December 2019

Armes Prydein, Hywel Dda, et le règne d’Edmond de Wessex.

Deux textes témoignent de relations entre Edmond de Wessex (939-46) et Hywel le Bon (f 950), de Dyfed : ce sont le poème politique Armes Prydein «La prophétie de Grande-Bretagne» et une note annalistique pour 945 recueillie par le chroniqueur du XIIIe siècle. Roger de Wendover. On montre que des allusions jusque ici obscures, dans le poème, se rapportent à la capitulation d’Edmond devant les Vikings, à Leicester, au début de 940. Cela prouverait que Armes Prydein a été écrit à la fin de 940, et que ce texte appelait à attaquer les Anglais en 941. La note annalistique pour 945 évoque l’aide apportée par un roi inconnu, «Leolin», à l’attaque menée par Edmond contre le Strathclyde. «Leolin» ne peut s’expliquer que par la déformation du nom de Hywel, qui a dû donner à Edmond de solides renforts militaires dans son expédition au Nord de la Grande-Bretagne. L’examen de ces problèmes difficiles introduit un éclairage nouveau sur les relations anglo-galloises au début du Xe siècle.

Problemi di toponomastica. IX. Top. siciliani Prizzi e Filaca
Authors: Alessio Giovanni , Milazzo Andrea
Published: December 2019

Le toponyme sicilien Prizzi [priddzi] a été expliqué par des étymologies fantastiques en partant de l’arabe, du grec (βρίζα, πρῆξις, πρίξω, περιιτέον), §§§§§§§) ou du latin (prius). Ce nom, pour des raisons d’ordre phonétique, ne peut pas être d’origine arabe (cette langue ne possédant pas le phonème p), ni latine, car le latin ne nous laisse pas expliquer le zed sonore, qui au contraire peut reposer sur un — ζ — byzantin. La forme d’archive Πυρίζειν représente sans doute le bas grec πυρίζειν «incendere » avec allusion à la pratique agricole du brûlis ou à la pratique militaire des feux de signalisation. L’étymologie du nom de lieu voisin Filaca, qui continue le byzantin φάκλα > φλάκα, du latin facula «torche, flambeau », rend beaucoup plus vraisemblable la deuxième hypothèse. Les deux toponymes remontent à l’époque byzantine, comme émanation du monastère basilien de Saint-Christophe qui était placé dans cette localité.

Authors: Konyukhov Ivan , Konyukhov Vladimir
Published: December 2019

A special cyber-physical system is developed to control transient heat and mass transfer during the commissioning of the unified oil production complex consisted of oil reservoir, producing well equipped with electric submersible centrifugal pump, well production tree and ground-based control station. Two main elements of cyber-physical system are following:
– computer simulator of heat and mass transfer in virtual oil production complex based on mathematical and numerical models of such processes along with simultaneous visualization of computational results;
– portable imitation hardware of real ground-based equipment which is realized as 3D-printed plastic model consisted of control elements (pipeline valves, drossel chamber, ground-based control station) and recording devices (manometers, level indicator, liquid sampler and control station itself). Mechanisms of these elements are replaced by Arduino microchips to simulate the operation of real devices. An important feature of the cyber-physical system is the data exchange and interaction between oil production computer simulator and microcontroller software. Data transfer is going through the COM-ports of computer and microcontroller. The simulator sends calculated working characteristics of oil production complex to the memory of microcontroller, which not only analyzes incoming data but also displays it on the recording devices and forms necessary control parameters, which are sent back to simulator and affect the further behavior of the whole complex. Different elements of the CPS provides the possibility to control and visualize the commissioning of the oil production complex under consideration and the whole system is oriented to simulate the real technological actions performing by specialists in oil production.

Teaching slow learner children in reading is a challenging process. It requires personalization touch which can deliver suitable reading materials to meet diverse slow learner existing knowledge, needs and preferences. However, despite the various implementation of the personalization in a wide range of areas, the implementation of existing teaching and learning in primary schools in Malaysia does not support personalization. With an intention to cater to slow learner reading difficulties, this research offers a step-by-step process of designing personalization of reading content for slow learner children. In conclusion, developing personalized reading content for the slow learner children is one way of attaining the need for the slow learner children in reading. By offering personalization of reading for the slow learner children, perhaps it would be something interesting tool to be explored by a slow learner to break a code of reading successfully.

Mengajar anak-anak yang lambat belajar membaca adalah proses yang menantang. Dibutuhkan sentuhan personalisasi yang dapat memberikan bahan bacaan yang sesuai untuk memenuhi beragam pengetahuan, kebutuhan, dan preferensi pelajar lambat. Namun, terlepas dari berbagai implementasi personalisasi di berbagai bidang, implementasi pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang ada di sekolah dasar di Malaysia tidak mendukung personalisasi. Dengan maksud untuk memenuhi kesulitan membaca pelajar lambat, penelitian ini menawarkan proses selangkah demi selangkah mendesain personalisasi konten membaca untuk anak-anak yang lambat belajar. Sebagai kesimpulan, mengembangkan konten bacaan yang dipersonalisasi untuk anak-anak yang belajar lambat adalah salah satu cara untuk mencapai kebutuhan anak-anak yang belajar dengan lambat. Dengan menawarkan personalisasi membaca untuk anak-anak yang belajar lambat, mungkin itu akan menjadi alat yang menarik untuk dieksplorasi oleh pelajar yang lambat untuk memecahkan kode membaca dengan sukses.
El trinomio de ventajas comparativas reveladas en la canasta básica de la Sader en América del Norte.
Authors: Infante Jiménez Zoe Tamar , López Villaseñor Alejandro Javier
Published: December 2019

Se realiza una comparación de las ventajas comparativas reveladas de una canasta de 37 productos, que el gobierno federal mexicano clasificó dentro de la Planeación Agrícola Nacional 2016-2013 como eje para el crecimiento de la actividad agrícola. Para conocer la existencia de ventajas comparativas reveladas (VCR) y su posicionamiento en América del Norte, se realiza el cálculo del índice Balassa de los 37 productos de México, EE.UU. y Canadá durante el período 1990-2017. Los resultados indican que México cuenta con VCR en 15 de 37 productos, de los cuales, cuatro en productos básicos y once con potencial de mercado; también se muestra la dependencia de importaciones de México de los otros países de América del Norte en productos básicos para alimentación humana.

With the increase in population of Ogun state, the necessity to provide water to the populace has become a disturbing problem. In this study, a systematic approach to delineate the groundwater potential zones of the state was carried out using Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Hydrogeophysics as a tool. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) observations were also carried out in OGD Sparklight Estate to validate the results obtained from the integrated remote sensing and GIS observation and also determine the aquifer depth and possible pollution. The various thematic maps such as: soil map, land use/Land, geological map, rainfall map, lineaments map were obtained from enhanced satellite imagery and Slope map was generated from Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission elevation model (SRTM DEM). These maps were overlaid in terms of weighed overlay method using Spatial Analysis tool in Arc GIS 10.4. During weighed overlay analysis, different ranks were given to each individual parameter of each thematic map and weights were assigned according to their influence. The groundwater potential map obtained from the study area showed that 47% of the total study area (Ogun state) lie within the “very high” potential zone, 15% of the area falls within the “high”, 30% lies within the of “moderate” zone, 5% lies within the “low “potential zone while “2% “ lies within the very low potential zone. The very high potential areas lie within the sedimentary zone in the southern part of the study area with high alluvial deposits, while the “very low” prospect zone lies majorly within the basement complex zone in the northern part of the study area. The boreholes susceptible to salt water intrusion were identified and the best drilling point with respect to depth were also determined.

Published: December 2019

Objectives: To understand treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and costs of care among patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Methods: SMA patients were identified from a large managed care population using administrative claims data from January 2006 to March 2016. Patients were classified into infantile, childhood-onset, and late-onset groups based on age of first SMA diagnosis. They were matched 1:1 to non-SMA patients based on age, gender, geography, and health plan type.

Results: In the infantile group, 17.4% and 26.1% were treated with invasive and non-invasive ventilation, respectively. Uses of orthotics/orthoses and orthopedic surgery were frequent: 54.5% and 22.7% childhood group; 27.0% and 38.5% late-onset group. Mean per member per month costs in SMA vs. matched non-SMA patients was $25,517 vs. $406 (infantile); $6,357 vs. $188 (childhood-onset); $2,499 vs. $742 (late-onset).

Conclusions: SMA patients, particularly with infantile onset, incurred significantly higher healthcare utilization and costs than the general population.
Eternidade e tempo: Plotino e Agostinho
Authors: Nascimento Sidnei  Francisco
Published: December 2019

Plotino e Agostinho possuem pontos de vista muito semelhantes a respeito da eternidade e do tempo, embora sejam muito diferentes quanto aos contextos em que estão inseridos. Plotino retomará os filósofos gregos para falar a respeito da eternidade e do tempo. A eternidade pertence ao Uno, e o tempo à alma do mundo.  Para Agostinho a eternidade pertence ao ser de Deus, e a unicidade de seu ser repousa na eternidade. A noção de eternidade se corresponde a um “perpétuo hoje” sempre presente. Quanto à ideia que Agostinho terá do tempo, esta será transitória, como é transitória a alma humana, que retornará para o Criador, ao final dessa vida, consciente de seus erros.
Na América decolonial: crianças ou infâncias?
Authors: Dourado Maira Prieto Bento
Published: December 2019

Este pretende  trazer  à cena reflexões sobre o desenvolvimento da criança no horizonte histórico de um Brasil decolonial, utilizando a hermenêutica como prática interpretativa de leitura, a propõe-se um diálogo compreensivo entre o pensamento decolonial e  fenomenologia. A perspectiva Fenomenológico  Existencial contribui para pensar a criança como ser-no-mundo rompendo com a criança esquadrinhada pelas teorias do desenvolvimento infantil. Estudos pós-coloniais e decoloniais propuseram investigar o sentido histórico no qual estamos, desenvolvendo críticas a um modelo eurocêntrico originadas no interior das crises políticas, econômicas e sociais. A invisibilidade da diferença impede de se debruçar sobre o assunto que se revela constantemente, pensar numa criança a partir da sua cultura, promove direitos humanos, regras e políticas públicas.
