Published: October 2019

La contemporaneidad puede presumir de una velada vanidad: la de ser un presente continuo. Una construcción conceptual que de algún modo funde el pasado y el futuro, en el mero presente. Global y multiforme, la era contemporánea en la cual estamos inmersos formando parte, se caracteriza sobre todo por la progresiva atomización del conocimiento del mundo en que vivimos, donde la humanidad experimenta un crecimiento más allá del límite que le marcara históricamente la naturaleza, agudizando la incertidumbre de su propia existencia en el medio ambiente donde se desarrolla. Es el contexto en el cual se crea la Reserva Natural de Granadero Baigorria, una prolongación del pensamiento del arquitecto Jorge Scrimaglio en defensa del lugar donde años antes había enraizado el proyecto de su propia casa; y en un tiempo donde la arquitectura no encuentra equilibrio entre los factores cambiantes y permanentes de la realidad porque pareciera desconocer la naturaleza de que está hecha y su valor metafísico: la fuerza moral del espíritu.

Published: October 2019

This study investigates the rate of high- and low-frequency words, types and tokens, in L2 spoken English by two advanced Swedish groups, one studying English at a Swedish university and one living and working in London. They were compared to an English native group and to one another. The material had a multitask design: a role play, an interview and an online-narration. The results for the two non-native groups showed vulnerability on both frequency levels depending on task. Only the London group was nativelike across frequencies in the role play confirming our expectation. The results also show that the London group performed the tasks with a higher degree of lexical diversity and fluency than the university group.

Since of the invention lipofilling, there was a significant change in ideas of the role used autologous fat tissue (Auto Fat) from natural filler of defects to the product for stimulating regeneration. There was a considerable evolution in technology of liposuction and Auto Fat processing, material and methodical providing of the procedure was improved. Opening and studying role of the stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) of the adipose tissue, in particular mesenchymal stem cells of the adipose tissue (MSC FT), promoted considerable extension of indications while using this method in aesthetic medicine. During experience accumulation of lipofilling application new concepts of application of Auto Fat in combination with MSC FT, platelet-enriched plasma (PRP) and growth factors were developed for scar correction. Understanding of a key role recipient area in succesful engrafting Auto Fat on scars resulted in development of transcutaneous aponeurotomy in a combination with a lipofilling (riggotomy). The procedure of a nanolipofilling which can be considered an attempt of the isolated use of lipofilling for regeneration stimulation and remodeling of cicatricial tissue was developed. However, despite the achieved success, carrying out further researches which would allow to confirm this method efficacy from the point of view evidence-based medicine and develop clear clinical guidelines about its application for treatment of dermal scars would be necessary.
Misunderstanding child-centeredness: The case of “child 2.0” and media education
Authors: Mertala Pekka
Published: October 2019

This qualitative study demonstrates the kinds of pedagogical pitfalls that are included in simplistic understandings of child-centeredness in the context of media education, an emerging field of early childhood teacher education with only a little empirical research done so far. Course diaries from 15 preservice teachers were analyzed to find answers to the question: How do preservice teachers approach child-centered education in the context of media education? The main findings can be summarized as follows. First, preservice teachers approached child-centeredness as an all-encompassing principle that guides early childhood education. Second, media education-related issues—beliefs about children and media, ambiguity of media literacy, and insecurity about oneself as a media educator—appear to bolster views of children as self-driven learners, and teachers as mere facilitators who do not have an active role in children’s learning processes

Published: October 2019

The advantage systems of air traffic controllers as operators of the “front line”, which are directly responsible for ensuring the appropriate level of flight safety, are considered as a component of their decision making, determines, on the one hand, the influence of the human factor on the choice they make, and on the other hand, makes this choice much easier. The use of paired comparisons and determination of part of the total comparative danger as a way of establishing the systems of benefits of professional air traffic controllers on the spectrum of the characteristic errors that they make in the process of professional activity are substantiated. For the first time, the total risk of a pair of errors is determined in an absolute and unique by quasi metric features 100-point scale, and their separate contribution to this danger covers the entire continuum of the scale. In contrast to the traditional practice, which regulates part of the total danger, it allowed for a more differentiated assessment of the comparative dangers of errors. Using the traditional and the proposed method, group systems of advantages of air traffic controllers on the studied range of errors, which are almost identical, are constructed: Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient is equal to the value. The Kendall concordance coefficient calculated for the group preference system constructed in the traditional way is equal to and statistically reliable, and therefore the corresponding preference system is consistent. The coefficient of concordance calculated for the group system of benefits based on the application of the proposed differential approach to the pairwise comparison of the dangers of errors is almost twice greater, equal to the value and statistically reliable at a high level of significance. This indicates both the consistency of the opinions of the subjects and the high efficiency of the proposed differential approach.

The web winding system (WWS) presents a difficult problem at the level of control because of the strong nonlinearities of the models and the effects of internal or external disturbances. To improve the dynamic performance and robustness of the control of WWS, a robust control method based on the first and second order sliding mode algorithm is proposed in this work. The stability of the controllers is proved by the theory of Lyapunov stability using an appropriate switching function. In addition, an observer of super twisting tensions is suggested. The developed method allows a direct estimate "on line" of the tension. Finally, computer simulations are developed to show the performance of the sliding mode control and the proposed nonlinear observer.

This work aims at finding the most suited control scheme for a typical quad-rotor. Selecting the appropriate controller is essential to achieve system stability. The most common control schemes are compared in terms of their performance in hovering mode. The quad-rotor propellers are modeled based on both momentum theory and blade element theory. The model describing the six-degrees of freedom system is used to develop a control strategy using different types of controllers such as PID, Fuzzy, Optimal, LQ), as well as LQR controller. The current work is confined to linear control schemes in hovering flight mode, where the comparison is based on achieving stable attitude in hovering. The simulation results show that the LQR controller is the most efficient control method to minimize the steady-state error.

Introduction of IoT (Internet of Things) has enjoyed vigorous support from governments and research institutions around the world, and remarkable achievements have been obtained till date. IoT systems collect the voluminous amount of data in real time from hospitals, battlefield and daily living environment which is related to privacy and security of people. So, securing collected sensitive data is one of the major challenges in the development of IoT systems. Authenticating the source of collected data is utmost important because the adversary may act as a source which may lead to a breach in security and privacy of people using the IoT network. IoT devices are resource scarce so lightweight methods for network security and privacy need to develop to achieve future development goals. In this paper, a novel lightweight node to node authentication scheme based on watermark is proposed to solve the contradiction between the security and restricted resources of perception layer. To improve the security, Proposed scheme usage node identity and the number of neighbours as input to generate the watermark and use the watermark to calculate the embedding positions which makes node authentication based on temporal dynamics of sensing network. The generated watermark is embedded in fixed size message digest generated using the variable message as input into a low-cost one-way hashing algorithm LOCHA. The embedded bits of watermark extracted at the receiving node and matched to check the authenticity of the sender node. The security analysis and simulations of the proposed scheme show that it can be a good candidate to ensure the authentication of the resource constraint devices which are integral part of Internet of Things at low cost.

Data mining techniques have been extensively used to mine up-to-date information from agricultural databases. In Agriculture, the Loss Assessment and Estimation in Crop insurance can be done on various factors like yield-based, crop-health based and weather-based variations. Weather-based variations are taken into account to design the insurance payout classifier model for the selected crop within the selected agricultural blocks of Tamilnadu. Then the weather attributes that undergone feature selection are given as input to the model with the rule-based classification algorithm implementing the neighboring approach with a sequential covering strategy named as CBKNN-PAYRULE which is statistically higher than other state-of-the-art rule-based classification algorithms. This model is proposed to classify the agricultural blocks based on the Area-wise Assessment of adverse temperature for the groundnut crop from their nearest neighbor. Then By combining the classified neighboring approach with the threshold factors the Rule-based classifier is done to generate the rules to estimate the insurance payout value as per policymakers for the selected agricultural blocks. Then decision-making techniques are applied to predict the insurance with the possibility of product basis risk, which covers the deviations in weather indices with the risk profile factors for the notified agricultural blocks for the specified crop. Thus the proposed technique can support the simultaneous prediction of the insurance payout to be paid in case of adverse weather factors of the selected crop for five districts with high accuracy and the correlation analysis of weather factors with the payout concerning to each district is also made. The Experimental results show that the proposed work enhances the accuracy in insurance payout prediction of the groundnut crop of the selected districts.

Employee engagement is the need for modern business; it goes beyond employee satisfaction. It is an emotional commitment by employees towards their company. It has a direct influence on efficiency, productivity, employee retention, and the company’s profitability. Employee surveys are the most commonly used method to gather wide-ranging information from the employees about how satisfied and how engaged they are. Some of them also support in defining action plans to increase employee engagement results. However, it is a reactive measure to define and act on corrective actions, based employee satisfaction survey. In this research, I would like to study all secondary data available/accessible for different business domains in India and develop the guiding principles for new entrepreneurs. This will consist of tried, tested, and successful best practices from other companies of a similar domain.

Liquid distribution system needs to be optimally designed for low-pressure drop to ensure low energy consumption by pump. There may be other constraints as well like, pressure handling capacity of few components of system may restrict maximum pressure gradient that may be allowed. For such systems, even a slight variation in the pressure drop of any component may not be acceptable. This may result in large increase in pressure drop of complete system. The proposed work presents numerical and experimental study of variations in the pressure drop due to the change in cross section of geometry at bend location in pipe. The numerical study has been done with the help of CFD simulation. Numerical results thus obtained have been validated with the experimental data.

The dc-dc boost converters are widely used in various power conversion applications because of their increase in demand both in domestic, commercial and industrial applications. The voltage boosting techniques include mostly combination of components such as inductors, capacitors, switches etc with their various configurations. The combination of these boosting components oriented in different configurations appears largely in literature, but refer the techniques of hard-switching of the semi-conductor devices. In order to meet the growing demand and to look into the aspect of better efficiency of these converters, the soft-switching of devices plays a prominent role, which lacks in literature. Though very few papers appear in literature as far as soft-switching is concerned, but the addition of more than one or two switches make the things uneasy and the researchers lack interest in it. Even though the conventional boost converters appear in various forms of topologies in literature, but it needs further critical investigation so far to minimise switching loss. The proposed topology, which is similar to the conventional topology with slight modification, gives lucid insight in fulfilling with partial soft-switching capability of circuits. The single switch is turned-off under zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and turned-on under partial hard-switched by proper designing of snubber components. The prominent components of the topology are designed at its optimum level to improve performance.

Reinforced cement concrete is a common material used for building constructions. In this work a trial has been created to utilize steel fibres in RCC members to extend strength and conjointly to extend resistance to impact load. Hooked end steel fibres (HESF) are used here for the preparation of concrete specimens. Concrete grade of M30 is selected and mix design was carried out for target strength of 38.25 N/mm2. Varied volume fractions of HESF such as 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% were added to concrete. Cube, beam and cylindrical specimens were cast with good compaction and cured fully as per standards. Hardened concrete strength of all the specimens with different quantities of HEFS were tested. Simple drop weight test was conducted on the specimens reinforced with different percentages of steel fibres. The impact load is produced by means of dropping a weight of 5.5 kg from 400 mm height. Impact energy of the specimens is derived from number of blows required to produce initial crack (N1) and number of blows to cause complete failure (N2). Impact energy of the specimens with different quantities of fibres are compared. Results indicated that the concrete specimens with 3% volume fraction of fibre has shown best performance and it is also seen that the increase in volume of fibre beyond 3% has resulted in reduced impact energy.

Energy storage hybridization in electric vehicle drive is important as currently there is no single energy storage device which able to fully satisfy the power requirement of the drive operation. Electrical drive operation of electric vehicle requires a high energy storage device to achieve a longer distance, as well as high power capability for better acceleration and regenerative braking performance. Battery has long been used as a primary energy source in such application due to its high energy capacity but lack in term of providing high power during transient operation. Meanwhile, the supercapacitor is among the best storage device available in term of ability to disburse high power in short period and has a potential to be used with battery to complement the latter’s disadvantage. The paper investigates on a newly proposed method of energy storage hybridization for quasi-Z-source inverter applied in induction motor drive. Objective of the work is to mitigate the current stress on the battery by combining it with supercapacitor to form a hybrid energy storage based on the integration of bidirectional DC/DC converter to the inverter. A 5kW induction motor drive system is designed, modelled and simulated with MATLAB/Simulink environment to evaluate the performance of the field-oriented control of the drive system of the induction motor and the newly proposed method of the hybrid energy storage system during the acceleration/regenerative braking. The results verify the benefit of the new method which effectively reducing the current stress of the battery up to approximately 50% during acceleration and regenerative braking with satisfactory performance of the speed and torque control of the motor.

The integration of information and communication technology in school management is now becoming a necessity to adapt to the current global changes and to attach the motivation of leaders to join a process of planning and governance of high quality educational projects. Today, the implementation of digital institutions is characterized by two paths at two different speeds a first the implementation of ICT in the course of education whose subject occupies the interest and use the budget of all innovation projects and the other path that is the digitization of the administration is ranked second in the innovative priorities. Our intervention is part of a technical-pedagogic approach that will focus on an action research work in which, we will try: First, it is about implementing an accessible digital tool, facilitating and organizing strategic planning and project management, and providing ways to govern and control the quality of administrative acts. Then, We will show the first results of the experimentation of this tool in our research context represented by 335 directors of schools of the provincial delegation of Taza. Morocco, highlighting the contributions of the digital on administrative practices at all levels. Finally, we present the challenges identified by our system to improve the quality of school management and professionalize the act of management of human resources and material resources. On the other hand, we will focus on all the constraints and resistances that could hinder this development and innovation action

The strategy of partnership among Government, voluntary agencies and community has been devised in Odisha for improving health standards in urban community (particularly slums) by enhancing the availability and access to the health services. The programmes envisage empowering the community to manage their health concerns with Government only playing the role of a facilitator. The present study has been undertaken to assess the real grounding of such 'doctrines of partnership' in today's socio-political context and its maneuvering towards realization of the targeted goals. The techniques of interview, focused group discussion (FGD), case analysis and field observation have been adopted for a holistic analysis of the project from the angles of its impact and sustainability. The findings point to the missing link of appropriate technology in creating a robust data base, 'tech-led disease surveillance system', 'telemedicine' and interactive video conferencing with audio, video, real time diagnosis and data transmission technologies. The study also points to a need for policy intervention for institutionalization of partnership among different departments and stakeholders.
