exportaciones argentinas y el desafío logístico
Authors: Marinucci Elsa
Published: June 2020

La Argentina ha mostrado un comportamiento fluctuante en el comercio mundial en las últimas décadas, con una participación que ha oscilado entre el decrecimiento y el estancamiento. Muchos son los factores que contribuyeron a dicho desempeño, entre ellos las deficiencias en logística, tanto aquellas vinculadas a políticas públicas, tales como infraestructura o funcionamiento de las agencias gubernamentales de intervención, como también las del ámbito privado, como servicios logísticos disponibles para exportadores. El desempeño logístico de Argentina en el período 2017-2018 no muestra mejoras con respecto al período anterior, por lo que las acciones de políticas públicas deben enfocarse tanto hacia el desarrollo de aquellos componentes que están bajo regulación del Estado, como hacia el impulso de los actores involucrados, con la finalidad de lograr un desempeño que se convierta en un verdadero aliado de los exportadores.

Published: June 2020

Viral hepatitis poses a serious threat to mankind. Hepatitis B and C Virus are blood borne pathogens that affect millions of individually globally. This study was conducted on a hospital-based population in Islamabad, Pakistan over a period of 4 months, utilizing ELISA as the diagnostic technique which suggested a higher seroprevalence rate for both HBV and HCV i.e. 2.07% and 8.24% respectively. A correlational analysis of the biochemical parameters of these individuals with HBV and HCV infection was carried out and the results indicated a positive correlation of HBV with Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), HCV with Total Bilirubin (TBil) and both the viruses with Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT). Furthermore, the risk factors in relation to these viral infections were explored upon which our data suggested that surgery, blood transfusion and contact with contaminated instruments at the barber for haircut/shaving and jewelers for piercings were the major risk factors responsible for aiding the contraction of the viral disease by patients in the hospital. These high percentages of the viral infection among the population require proper management and prevention techniques to minimize the number of casualties and further cases to provide a healthier surrounding for the people to live in.

Black Drongo is an insectivorous bird native to Pakistan. The present study focused on its feeding preferences, behaviour, ecology and habitat relationships. The study was carried out from first week of December, 2019 to the second week of April, 2020 in the two villages of Rawalpindi named as Daultala (Location-I) and Nata Gujarmall (Location-II). Observations were made by point count method on foot using line transect method. Air (52.27%) was the most commonly used feeding substrate. Aerial feeding mode (52.27%) is preferred over plant or tree gleaning (n=58) and ground feeding (n=47). Most common perching site was man made obstacle, wire (37.72%). Thirteen indigenous tree species and two exotic trees including Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and Bottle brush (Callistemon citrinus) were used as perching site by Black Drongo throughout the study. Black Drongo remained solitary (36.36%) during feeding rituals and shared (63.63%) its intimate habitat with other birds. At Location-I and Location-II, habitat was shared with 12 and 16 bird species, respectively. The mean time of prey capturing attempt was lower at Location-I (1.93±0.17 min) than Location-II (2.16±0.16 min). The time range of prey capturing attempt was (0.1±0.16 min) to (11.5±0.17 min). Black Drongo captured prey successfully by first attempt (59.54%), maximum attempts noted were 6. After preying attempts Black Drongo came back to same perch site (67.27%); which is a representative of resource abundance.

Published: June 2020

The different features of soil greatly affect the flora and vegetative diversity of a forest. The physical and chemical characteristics of soils in Onigambari Forest Reserve were evaluated to assess the fertility and productivity status of the soils. Fifteen soil samples collected from different sample locations were analyzed for soil texture (sand, silt and clay), bulk density, porosity, pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable bases (Na, K, Ca and Mg) and available micronutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn). Texturally, the studied soils were loamy sand and sandy loam with percentage of sands (71.2-84.2 %), silts (7.4-10.4 %) and clay (6.4-19.4 %). The bulk density of the soils was 1.61-1.83 % while the porosity of the soils ranged from 35.2-44.1 %. The slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (5.90 - 6.60) and medium organic matter content (1.68 -2.60 %) suggest adequate level of soil nutrients. The soils had high total nitrogen (0.35 -0.65 %) and available phosphorus contents between 10.98 and 18.22mg/kg.

Authors: Muchayan Achmad
Published: June 2020

Mutual funds are one of the promising investment media where the risk is directly proportional to the size of investment growth. With proper forecasting of NAV price movements will greatly help investors to make purchases and sales transactions, therefore the authors offer the use of two different forecasting methods namely Brown's method and Holt method in double exponential smoothing to get predictions of NAV price movements. The effectiveness of the use of the method will be measured from the value of Mean Average Percentage Error (MAPE). From the calculation results obtained by the data that the Holt method produces forecasting for 1809,657 with the best α value of 0.6 and MAPE of 0.644373568, while for the Holt method obtained forecasting value of 1810,924 with the α value and the best β value of 0.9 and 0.1 and the smaller MAPE value of 0.61604262 . Looking at the amount of MAPE generated, the Holt method has a smaller forecasting error rate when compared to Brown’s method.

With the increase in global warming levels day by day leading to the increase in average temperature throughout the year which makes people living in areas infested with load- shedding more hectic and troublesome. As the contemporary cooling method including Coolers and Air-conditioners do not work on the inverter for backup electricity purposes which make them useless as such during the peak heat hours. So, as to combat the problem with portability, economy and cost-effectiveness in mind the concept of alternative air conditioning using TEC while being used of the grid and rechargeable. While it is a common knowledge that co-efficient of performance of TEC is sub-par when compared to vapor compression air refrigeration used today but with optimized manufacturing techniques and forced convection of cold liquid increasing the effective cooling for the device and humidity controlling using moisture absorbent along with capillary tubing as thermal siphoning for heat reduction at the hot sink instead of air fin to reduce ambient heat radiation. Basically in this research we tried to increase the coefficient of performance of the Peltier Module using various techniques. The Module is also not power efficient , so in long run we can’t use plenty of them either two or three also we need to create the cooling effect . So keeping everything in mind we use the module accordingly to achieve the goal and make it a model for mass production

Land cover change detection has been a topic of active research in the remote sensing community. Due to enormous amount of data available from satellites. The land cover change detection has often been performed by comparing two or more satellite snapshot images acquired on different time period. The image comparison techniques have a number of limitations. The traditional Convolution Neural Network (CNN) method has several problems, such as the weak generalization ability of the model and the difficulty of automating the construction of a training database. These methods generally have high land mapping accuracy but they are time-consuming, laborious, poor repeatability. When compared to the previous models such as U net, we will get more accuracy and also time consumption is minimum, by using this proposed approach. In this paper we will be Siamese so it is named as M-Siamese. To overcome the problem, we had used Siamese network in M-Siamese. The Siamese network is improved Accuracy and Enhanced Flexibility. In this paper we are using M-Siamese network which is effective than the previous Siamese networks. By using this type we will acquire more accuracy than that of previous networks. Finally, we had concluded the change of land cover in percentage.

A survey is conducted in supermarkets and kirana stores. Kirana stores often operates for a small circle wherein the customer churn rate is lesser as compared to the supermarkets. This paper deals with the analysis of various aspects of a kirana store and supermarkets which would fuel up the comparison in the context of lean. The study has focused on certain parameters which are key attributes of lean management in service sector. Which includes product replacement, shelving, waiting time at counters, product arrangement (FIFO). The concept of JIT would also help the main focus of all kirana stores and supermarkets, which is “cost minimization and profit maximization”. Wilcoxon rank test is conducted to analytically study the difference in the scope of lean application in kirana stores and supermarkets. The study deciphered the opportunity of lean in supermarkets than in kirana stores as per the limitation in the operation. The mode of operation in kirana stores has slight variations with respect to management. And hence it is difficult to commonly suggest ways to improve functions, but still sees a scope in future. The results were favorable to supermarkets, wherein lean application sounds more result oriented and suits the functioning of huge retail chain.

The main motive is to increase the malicious call prevention while not relying on any underlying architecture of the phone . Challenges faced here are -how to gather useful information on how to decrease benign calls from being blocked . The first part of the work is to gather data concerning nuisance callers so as to create an efficient interference mechanism, with the help of Machine Learning Algorithms. Gathering of the dataset is based on client statistics. In that, there are three varieties of lessons like telemarketing, Unwanted (Malicious), robocalls.If a call is Malicious or not is judged based on few functions .So compare the effectiveness of these capabilities with the aid of numerous cutting-edge models. For this, usage of both Area under curve (AUC) score, and layout a brand new metric, average first prediction (AFP) is done. Average first prediction is designed to assess the averaged amount of nuisance calls that desires to be located before a user can expect it as a nuisance caller, without affecting benign traffic. Evaluation shows that segregating the planned options, a random forest version can do Associate in Nursing AUC score of at 0.98 ; additionally , it reduces the averaged important determined nuisance calls via up to 88% from a black-listing method, whilst making sure that over 98% of the benign calls will now no longer be banned from connecting . The system would be fast, effective, efficient, UI would be lightweight ,and this would work without accessing the telephony network architecture.

Abstract: Air pollution is one of the significant causes
of mortality and morbidity every year. In recent years, many researchers have
focused their attention on the associations of air pollution and health. These
studies used two types of data in their studies, i.e., air pollution data and
health data. Feature engineering is used to create and optimize air quality and
health features. In order to merge these datasets residential address,
community/county/block/city and hospital/school address are used. Using
residence address or any location becomes a spatial problem when the Air
Quality Monitoring (AQM) stations are concentrated in urban areas within the
regions and an overlap in the AQM stations in urban areas coverage area, which
raises the question that how to associate the patients with the relevant AQM
station. Also, in most of the studies the distance of patients to the AQM
stations is also not taken into account. In this study, we propose a four-part
spatial feature engineering algorithm to find the coordinates for health data,
calculate distances with AQM stations and associate health records to the
nearest AQM station. Hence, removing the limitations of current air pollution
health datasets. The proposed algorithm is applied as a case study in Klang
Valley, Malaysia. The results show that the proposed algorithm can generate air
pollution health dataset efficiently and the algorithm also provides the radius
facility to exclude the patients who are situated far away from the stations.

Throughout the latter half of the twentieth-century, defense counsel arguing before international criminal tribunals provided notoriously ineffective assistance. This note examines whether defense counsel similarly fail to provide competent assistance at the International Criminal Court––and if they do so for similar reasons. In examining the ICC’s procedural and regulatory framework, this note highlights the systemic inequities at the Court that favor the prosecution and devalue the defense, thereby hindering the acquisition of competent defense counsel and promoting the retention of incompetent defense counsel.

To address these iniquities, this note promotes various administrative reforms, all of which could be implemented without requiring significant overhauls of the ICC’s current structure. Failure to take action, this note cautions, risks depriving the accused of a competent defense, jeopardizing the equality of arms and the ICC’s perceived legitimacy.

Objective. In this study, technical performance of the new multiplex ALEX test was compared with results from ImmunoCAP single tests (tIgE, sIgE) and the multiplex platform ImmunoCAP ISAC sIgE 112. Materials and methods. Eleven whole allergen extracts and corresponding allergen components from different allergen groups were used for the analysis of 64-66 patients’ sera by all three platforms. Results. For the whole allergens, 55% false negative results were obtained with the ALEX test comparing to the ImmunoCAP sIgE tests while for allergen components the ALEX test gives 33% false negative results when compared to ImmunoCAP sIgE test results. Additionally, the ALEX test is characterized by a low dynamic range - the platform demonstrated no results above 36 kUA/L for samples giving >100 kUA/L using ImmunoCAP Specific IgE tests in the analysis of sIgE response to the whole allergens. For the allergen components, ALEX showed no results above 38 kUA/L for samples of up to 150 kUA/L according to ImmunoCAP Specific IgE test results. Comparing to ImmunoCAP single plex tests, ALEX show low dynamic range and poor agreement in quantitative results for tIgE and sIgE both for whole allergens and allergen components, while in the comparison with ImmunoCAP ISAC sIgE 112 platform, the agreement is better, but the sensitivity and dynamic range are still low._ Conclusions. The ALEX test has some serious limitations in its performance comparing to both types of ImmunoCAP platforms.

One of the most common chronic upper respiratory diseases worldwide is allergic rhinitis (AR). Despite advances in understanding the mechanisms of allergic inflammation, the symptoms of AR in most cases are not completely controlled by modern treatment methods. Allergic rhinitis is a precursor and predisposing factor for the development of other respiratory diseases, one of which is asthma. Diagnosis of AR is being actively conducted, but there is still a serious problem of uncontrolled and chaotic treatment of patients, so it is necessary to provide comprehensive medical care within the national health system. ARIA aims to develop and apply internationally recommendations for the management of patients with allergic respiratory diseases. In collaboration with other international associations that deal with the treatment and diagnosis of allergies and respiratory diseases, regulations and programs have been developed for the treatment of patients with AR, as well as when it is combined with asthma, which form the basis of ARIA. This document has been adapted for use in the field of healthcare in the Russian Federation and covers key issues related to the management of patients with AR and in combination with AR and asthma.
Drug-induced anaphylaxis: prevalence, risk factors, triggers
Authors: Esakova Natalia V , Pampura Alexander Nikolaevich
Published: June 2020

Currently, there is a tendency to increase the prevalence of drug-induced anaphylaxis. Medicines occupy a leading position among the causes of the development of anaphylactic reactions in the adult group of patients and second place in children, the most significant in this matter are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibacterial drugs and X-ray contrast agents. The risk of developing of drug anaphylaxis in most cases is not predictable, while the frequency of severe and fatal reactions is extremely high. This article presents an analysis of current data regarding the prevalence, possible risk factors, and triggers of drug anaphylaxis.
La investigación del profesorado: aliada de la formación docente
Authors: Páez Martínez Ruth Milena
Published: June 2020

Que los sistemas educativos hayan centrado su atención en los estudiantes y el aprendizaje dejó en desequilibrio la importancia de los maestros en esa misma pretensión. La relación pedagógica, el aprendizaje de los mismos docentes y la investigación parecen haberse ubicado más lejos de donde se encontraban. En este artículo se plantea que la investigación docente es una importante aliada, no solo para pensar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de los estudiantes, sino para actualizar y re-descubrir el sentido de la misma profesión. Así, se busca responder por qué la formación docente implica necesariamente el aprendizaje del profesorado y por qué la investigación motiva su deseo por aprender, mientras contribuye al desarrollo de unas disposiciones y habilidades.
La comunidad escolar: colectividad hacia la investigación transdisciplinar
Authors: Castañeda Lozano Yebrail
Published: June 2020

El siguiente artículo tiene el propósito de describir los presupuestos que requiere la comunidad escolar para transitar, de una escuela disciplinar de la simplicidad, hacia la escuela de la transdisciplinariedad de la complejidad investigativa. Para desarrollar esta tesis se analizarán los desarrollos de la actitud investigativa transdisciplinar, la forma del surgimiento del conocimiento y los modos de la proposición comunicativa. La comunidad escolar se encuentra cada vez más en la necesidad de estar a la altura de una sociedad ilustrada por los medios de comunicación, para que pueda socializar y comunicar sus diversos resultados investigativos.

Historie polskich emigrantów w kinie europejskim
Authors: Loska Krzysztof
Published: June 2020

Recenzja książki Krisa Van Heuckeloma Polish Migrants in European Film 1918-2017 (2019). Belgijski filmoznawca zwraca uwagę na podstawowe problemy dotyczące motywu migracji: konieczność powiązania aspektów lokalnych i globalnych w badaniach nad historią kina, możliwość usytuowania produkcji filmowej w transnarodowej perspektywie oraz zmienność ekranowego wizerunku polskich migrantów w czasie. Kris Van Heuckelom próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, w jaki sposób kino podtrzymywało stereotypowe wyobrażenia oraz w jakim stopniu odzwierciedlało pewien sposób myślenia, zgodnie z którym Wschód przeciwstawiony jest Zachodowi, a tradycja – nowoczesności. Chronologiczny układ książki pozwolił autorowi nie tylko na uchwycenie istotnych zmian politycznych i społecznych zachodzących na naszym kontynencie, ale również na ukazanie ich wpływu na sposoby przedstawiania migrantów. Pod względem poznawczym szczególnie wartościowe są te fragmenty książki, w których Van Heuckelom konstruuje swój wywód, sięgając po filmy rzadko przywoływane przez innych autorów oraz zwracając uwagę na ich odmienność od dominującego wzorca.
Przestrzenie semifilmowe. Symulowanie właściwości przestrzeni kinematograficznych w grach wideo
Authors: Sikorska Joanna
Published: June 2020

Artykuł składa się z trzech części: w pierwszej autorka charakteryzuje przestrzenie cyfrowe z uwzględnieniem podobieństw i różnic względem przestrzeni kinematograficznych. Zwraca przy tym uwagę na swoiste właściwości przestrzeni w grach wideo, tj. ich nawigowalność, wariacyjność oraz modyfikowalność. W drugiej części artykułu została przedstawiona specyfika funkcjonowania użytkownika w przestrzeni digitalnej. Autorka wskazuje, w jaki sposób zastosowanie określonych zasad i mechanizmów rozgrywki oraz podzielenie przestrzeni na mniejsze jednostki (lokacje) wpływa na sposób nawigowania gracza w jej obrębie. Następnie, odnosząc się do typologii przestrzeni cyfrowych zaproponowanej przez Espena Aarsetha, wyjaśnia, jak designerzy gier kształtują przestrzenie semifilmowe. Proponuje w ten sposób określać przestrzenie interaktywne, których twórcy mediatyzują przestrzeń kinematograficzną, a więc zapożyczają jej określone elementy i wykorzystują w grach wideo.
