Geometry of Generated Groups with Metrics Induced by Their Cayley Color Graphs
Authors: Suksumran Teerapong
Published: March 2019

Let G be a group and let S be a generating set of G. In this article,we introduce a metric dC
on G with respect to S, called the cardinal metric.We then compare geometric structures of (G, dC
) and (G, dW
), where dW
denotes the word metric. In particular, we prove that if S is finite, then (G, dC
) and (G, dW
) are not quasiisometric in the case when (G, dW
) has infinite diameter and they are bi-Lipschitz equivalent otherwise. We also give an alternative description of cardinal metrics by using Cayley color graphs. It turns out that colorpermuting and color-preserving automorphisms of Cayley digraphs are isometries with respect to cardinal metrics.
Handlungsfähigkeit bei Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit: Woher nehmen?
Authors: Kerschbaumer Lukas
Published: March 2019

Die Verfestigung von Arbeitslosigkeit ist für einen erheblichen Teil der Betroffenen oft mit multiplen Problemlagen verbunden (geringe Qualifikation, Krankheit, Alter über 50, Sprachdefizite, Fürsorgepflichten oder Sucht). Die Chancen, wieder Erwerbstätigkeit aufzunehmen, sinken dadurch beträchtlich. Das SGB II verfolgt jedoch die Arbeitsaufnahme als ein normatives Ziel. So ist das Paradigma des „Förderns und Forderns“ den formalisierten und auf Effektivitätsmaximierung ausgerichteten Prozessen der Arbeitsvermittlung inhärent. Die Fachkräfte der Jobcenter werden an Vermittlungskennzahlen gemessen und die betroffenen Langzeitarbeitslosen an ihren Bemühungen, Arbeit zu suchen, zu finden und aufzunehmen. Es besteht ein großes formales Unterstützungsangebot, um Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit schnellstmöglich durch Erwerbsarbeit zu beenden. Trotzdem ist die Zahl der Langzeitarbeitslosen hoch, und die Vermittlungszahlen sind niedrig. Um diesen Sachverhalt zu untersuchen, wurde eine qualitative Studie mit insgesamt 33 Langzeitarbeitslosen durchgeführt, die trotz vorliegender multipler Hemmnisse einen Übergang in bedarfsdeckende Arbeit erreichten. Wie im Folgenden gezeigt wird, nehmen diese Langzeitarbeitslosen die Handlungsofferten der Arbeitsvermittlung oft nicht als realistisch wahr, da sie oft nicht auf ihre spezifischen Belange eingehen. Diese erfolgreichen Arbeitsaufnahmen und ihre Erfahrungen mit der Arbeitsvermittlung stellen die Basis zur Identifizierung von vier „Handlungsfallen“ dar, die in der Vermittlungssituation auftreten und sich problematisch auf den Erfolg auswirken können. In einem Fazit werden Konsequenzen für die Arbeitsvermittlung diskutiert, insbesondere die Orientierung an einem Ansatz der „erweiterten Handlungsfähigkeit“.

Rediscovery of Heteromys nelsoni in its type locality after over a century
Authors: Lorenzo Consuelo , Bolaños-Citalán Jorge E. , Retana-Guiascón Oscar G.
Published: March 2019

We rediscovered a population of Nelson’s spiny pocket mouse (Heteromys nelsoni; Merriam, 1902) in the type locality of Pinabeto in the Mexican state of Chiapas, 121 years after it was last collected. We describe five topotype specimens according to their morphology and external measurements, and we confirm its identity at the species level in the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) of GenBank. As the population of H. nelsoni in Pinabeto is isolated, it is likely to be susceptible to extinction. There is a need to carry out additional scientific studies of this microendemic species in order to obtain more information regarding its biology, ecology and evolutionary history, and to be able to influence environmental policy to protect and conserve this species, as well as the region’s cloud forests.

Authors: Zhang Jun , Wang Wenli , Zhou Xiaojian , Liang Jiankun , Du Guanben , Wu Zhigang
Published: March 2019

In this work, a novel environmentally friendly lignin-based adhesive crosslinked with a furfuryl alcohol–glyoxal resin and epoxy resin (EPR) was used to bond particleboard. The results of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance and matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy indicated that furfuryl alcohol and glyoxal reacted under acidic conditions and that–CH–(OH)–groups may be involved in the crosslinking of the lignin–furfuryl–glyoxal resin, which also easily crosslinked with EPR. The IB strength of the particleboard bonded with LFG + 9 % EPR adhesive was better than that of the particleboard bonded with lignin–furfuryl alcohol (LF) adhesive. Moreover, the modulus of elasticity of the LFG + 9 % EPR adhesive was higher than that of the LF and phenol-formaldehyde adhesives.
Design and Simulation of low cost Root Crop Harvester
Authors: Sharma Ratnesh , Kumar Shiv Ranjan , Chouhan Surpal Singh , Yadav Udit
Published: March 2019

In India agriculture is one of the most important sources of employment for the farmers and almost everything depends on agriculture. Root vegetables and crops are hard to remove from the soil and it takes much of the farmer’s time. Even after removing these crops manually farmers are not able to achieve 100% recovery of the crops. When these crops are taken out manually this process require many precautions from the farmer. Due to human error approximate 20-30% of root vegetables and crops are left out in the field. Rich farmers can afford the proper machinery to cultivate the root crops but poor farmers are not able to afford such types of machinery. Hence, the objective of the present study was to design and simulate low cost root crop harvesting machines for poorer farmers. The machine consists of a frame, chain drive, gears, shaft, seed drill ground wheel, plough and storage container. All the measurements, dimensions and material selections were taken as per ASTM-A36 and the design hand data book. The design of the Root Crop Harvester was done mathematically and finally validated using CAD software.

Published: March 2019

The growing interest in insects as food ingredients on the one hand is controversial, on the other is in line with the recommendations of international organizations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Crickets, as well as cricket powder (CP), are a source of high quality protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. This paper analyzes the impact of CP additive (2%, 6% and 10%) on the nutritional value and consumer acceptance of enriched pâtés. It was shown that the CP additive significantly increases the content of protein, fat and minerals. It also changes the color of the product, which is darker (lower L* value), and the color balance is shifted towards the blue. Consumer assessment showed that the 2% CP additive allows to obtain a product of high attractiveness for consumers.
Fertigungstechnologien für Ultraschallwandler im Frequenzbereich zwischen 40 kHz und 40 MHz
Authors: Gebhardt Sylvia E. , Günther Paul A. , Hohlfeld Kai , Neubert Holger
Published: March 2019

Ultraschallwandler werden zum Senden und Empfangen akustischer Wellen eingesetzt und bilden damit das Herzstück eines jeden Ultraschallprüfgeräts. Je nach Anwendung arbeiten sie in unterschiedlichen Frequenzbereichen. Ultraschallwandler mit niedrigen Arbeitsfrequenzen von 1 kHz bis 1 MHz werden insbesondere für Sonaranwendungen benötigt, wohingegen Hochfrequenz-Ultraschallwandler mit Arbeitsfrequenzen von mehr als 15 MHz für die hochauflösende Bildgebung im Rahmen biomedizinischer Untersuchungen und zerstörungsfreier Prüfverfahren interessant sind. Herkömmliche zerstörungsfreie Diagnose- und klinische Ultraschallbildgebungssysteme werden typischerweise mit Ultraschallwandlern, die bei Frequenzen zwischen 1 MHz und 10 MHz arbeiten, betrieben. Im Hinblick auf eine leistungsfähige Auslegung und kosteneffektive Fertigung müssen sowohl die verwendeten piezoelektrischen Komponenten als auch die Größe und innere Struktur solcher Wandler auf den Anwendungsfall zugeschnitten sein. Neben dem Ultraschallwandler, als aktives Element zur Umwandlung von elektrischer Energie in Schallenergie und umgekehrt, werden in einem Ultraschallprüfkopf weitere Komponenten wie Dämpfungskörper und Anpassschichten integriert um die Funktion an die jeweilige Messaufgabe anzupassen. Der Aufbau funktionsfähiger Ultraschallgeräte umfasst darüber hinaus die Ansteuer- und Auswerteelektronik sowie die Bildverarbeitung. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden verschiedene Fertigungstechnologien für Ultraschallwandler unterschiedlicher Frequenzbereiche vorgestellt, die von den Autoren in den vergangenen Jahren entwickelt wurden. 1-3-Piezokomposite auf der Basis von piezokeramischen Fasern können in nahezu jeder Dicke hergestellt werden, was Arbeitsfrequenzen entsprechender Ultraschallwandler zwischen 40 kHz und 8 MHz erlaubt. Das Soft-Mold-Verfahren ermöglicht die Herstellung von Hochfrequenz-Ultraschallwandlern mit Arbeitsfrequenzen von 5 MHz bis 40 MHz. Hochintegrierte Wandler können durch Siebdruck von Elektroden-, Piezokeramik- und Isolationsschichten auf mikroelektronischen Substraten hergestellt werden. Damit sind strukturierte Ultraschallwandler mit Arbeitsfrequenzen zwischen 5 MHz und 30 MHz möglich.
Effects of Impure Water Sources on the Early-Age Properties of Calcium Sulfoaluminate (CSA) Cement
Authors: Long Wendy R. , Doyle Jesse D. , Freyne Seamus F. , Ramsey Monica A.
Published: March 2019

One of the benefits of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cements is that these materials gain strength rapidly, and strength development is often measured in hours instead of days. This property makes these materials desirable for use in temporary, nonreinforced repairs of roadways, airfields, and navigable locks. The rapid repair of these infrastructure elements is critical to transporting supplies into regions devastated by disaster. In these austere environments, potable water may not be available in sufficient quantities to make vital repairs, and the use of impure water in the production of CSA cement–based concrete would be advantageous. However, the hydration products formed by CSA cement are significantly different from those formed by portland cement and may react differently to alkalis, chlorides, sulfates, and other contaminates that these impure water sources may contain. This article investigates the impact of calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium chloride and calcium, sodium, and magnesium sulfate on the early-age unconfined compressive strength development of commercially available CSA cement–based concrete. Of these salts, calcium chloride had the greatest effect on early-age concrete properties, retarding unconfined compressive strength development. The strength results obtained from CSA cement–based concrete mixed with these saline solutions are compared with those obtained from potential real-world sources of mixing water, including seawater and greywater.
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS IN VITRO ACE-INHIBITORY ACTIVITIES OF TRYPTIC PEPTIDES PRODUCED FROM COLD PRESS DEOILED HAZELNUT MEALS
Authors: GÜLSEREN İbrahim , ÇAKIR Bilal
Published: March 2019

Hazelnut (Corylus
avellana L.) is a rich source of proteins which are concentrated in deoiled
meals during hazelnut oil manufacture. Here, an in vitro attempt was
made to evaluate the biological functionality of tryptic hazelnut peptides. In
our in silico investigations, a specific subset of hazelnut proteins was
predicted to demonstrate ACE-inhibitory and DPP-IV-inhibitory activities.
Consequently, hazelnut protein concentrates were produced from cold press
deoiled meals and subjected to tryptic hydrolysis (37°C). The progress of trypsinolysis
was monitored using size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fast protein liquid
chromatography (FPLC) and Raman spectroscopy. While the protein hydrolyzates
had limited ACE-inhibitory activity, after 240 min of trypsinolysis,
ACE-inhibitory activity was approximately 40% at a relatively low protein
concentration level. Although further clarifications are necessary, current
findings demonstrated hazelnut meal could be considered as a valuable source of
ACE-inhibitory peptides that can be utilized in the formulation of functional
foods and food supplements.
Novel Technologies: The Holyrood Chapel Diorama in James Hogg’s Confessions of a Justified Sinner
Authors: Leuner Kirstyn
Published: March 2019

Kirstyn Leuner, “Novel Technologies: The Holyrood Chapel Diorama in James Hogg’s Confessions of a Justified Sinner” (pp. 437–461)

This essay argues that there is a diorama remediated within James Hogg’s experimental Scottish Gothic novel, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824). Invented in 1822, the diorama was a popular multimedia theater experience comprised of a mural-sized immersive and realistic painting as well as a printed booklet describing the scene. Together, the view and booklet imaginatively transport the diorama’s audience to the depicted location. The diorama in Hogg’s novel is Louis Daguerre’s “Ruins of Holyrood Chapel, a Moonlight Scene” (1823), which places the viewer within the crumbling abbey at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, at night, among the tombs of Scottish nobles and royalty buried there. With its remediated Holyrood diorama, Confessions of a Justified Sinner prompts readers and characters, much like diorama-goers, to test their surroundings and determine where reality ends and the screen of illusion begins. Such reality-testing reveals characters’ and readers’ present moments to be part of, not detached from, the history of the ruined Holyrood Chapel and graveyard, the fractured identity of Scots, and the reception and retelling of their stories. Further, reality-testing draws attention to the media that construct one’s sense of self, the present, and the past, and these include not only the newer technology of the diorama, but also that of the novel in the late-Romantic period.

Published: March 2019

Transgressive segregation produces hybrid progeny phenotypes that exceed the parental phenotypes. Unlike heterosis, extreme phenotypes caused by transgressive segregation are heritably stable. We examined transgressive phenotypes of flowering time in rice, and revealed transgressive segregation in F2 populations derived from a cross between parents with similar (proximal) days to heading (DTH). The DTH phenotypes of the A58 × Kitaake F2 progenies were frequently more extreme than those of either parent. These transgressive phenotypes were maintained in the F3 and F4 populations. Both A58 and Kitaake are japonica rice cultivars adapted to Hokkaido, Japan, which is a high-latitude region, and have a short DTH. Among the four known loci required for a short DTH, three loci had common alleles in A58 and Kitaake, implying there is a similar genetic basis for DTH between the two varieties. A genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis based on the F4 population identified five new quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with transgressive DTH phenotypes. Each of these QTL had different degrees of additive effects on DTH, and two QTL had an epistatic effect on each other. Thus, a genome-wide SNP analysis facilitated the detection of genetic loci associated with extreme DTH phenotypes, and revealed that the transgressive phenotypes were produced by exchanging the complementary alleles of a few minor QTL in the similar parental phenotypes.
Causes and features of long-term variability of the ice extent in the Barents Sea
Authors: Krasheninnikova S. B. , Krasheninnikova M. A.
Published: March 2019

Based on the spectral analysis of a number of estimates of the ice extent of the Barents Sea, obtained from instrumental observational data for 1900–2014, and for the selected CMIP5 project models (MPI-ESM-LR, MPI-ESMMR and GFDL-CM3) for 1900–2005, a typical period of ~60‑year inter-annual variability associated with the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) in conditions of a general significant decrease in the ice extent of the Barents Sea, which, according to observations and model calculations, was 20 and 15%, respectively, which confirms global warming. The maximum contribution to the total dispersion of temperature, ice cover of the Barents Sea, AMO, introduces variability with periods of more than 20 years and trends that are 47, 20, 51% and 33, 57, 30%, respectively. On the basis of the cross correlation analysis,  significant links have been established between the ice extent of the Barents Sea, AMO, and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) for the  period 1900–2014. A significant negative connection (R = −0.8) of ice cover and Atlantic multi-decadal oscillations was revealed at periods of more than 20 years with a shift of 1–2 years; NAO and ice cover (R = −0.6) with a shift of 1–2 years for periods of 10–20 years; AMO and NAO (R = −0.4 ÷ −0.5) with a 3‑year shift with AMO leading at 3–4, 6–8 and more than 20 years. The periods of the ice cover growth are specified: 1950–1980 and the reduction of the ice cover: the 1920–1950 and the 1980–2010 in the Barents Sea. Intensification of the transfer of warm waters from the North Atlantic to the Arctic basin, under the atmospheric influence caused by the NAO, accompanied by the growth of AMO leads to an increase in temperature, salinity and a decrease of ice cover in the Barents Sea. During periods of ice cover growth, opposite tendencies appear. The decrease in the ice cover area of the entire Northern Hemisphere by 1.5 × 106 km2 since the mid-1980s. to the beginning of the 2010, identified in the present work on NOAA satellite data, confirms the results obtained on the change in ice extent in the Barents Sea.
Estimation of the surface ablation and mass balance of Eustre Grønfjordbreen (Spitsbergen)
Authors: Chernov R. A. , Kudikov A. V. , Vshivtseva T. V. , Osokin N. I.
Published: March 2019

Due to climatic changes in Spitsbergen the glaciation of the Nordenskjold Land (West Spitsbergen) has significantly degraded over the past 100 years. Changes in glaciers are undoubtedly associated with intensive melting caused by a rise of summer air temperatures. Based on the results of field measurements of ablation on the East Grenford glacier, data on the ice reduction were obtained since 2004. Analysis of the results showed that magnitude of the surface ablation is in a good agreement with the values calculated by the Krenke–Hodakov formula, in which the argument is the average summer air temperature. The parabolic dependence of the Krenke-Hodakov formula with the exponent of 3.25 presented the best approximation to the field measurements for all high-altitude zones of the glacier with a correlation coefficient of 0.96. The calculated values of ablation of ice and snow were used to estimate the mass balance of the East Grenford glacier since 2004. The calculations were based on the following: measured values of jump in temperature at the boundary of the glacier, averaged values of the air temperature gradient, and averaged data on snow storage on the glacier. Data on the mass balance of the glacier is indicative of its shortening during the last decade, despite the interannual variations. In 2016, the glacier mass balance reached the lowest value equal to −1990 mm, the calculated value was equal to −1960 mm. Analysis of the data demonstrated that the average summer air temperature is the major factor affecting the glacier mass balance. These results may be useful for estimating  melting and mass balance of a number of mountain glaciers of the Nordenskjold Land.
Current State and Prospects of Development of Municipal Self-Government in Big Cities
Authors: Turovsky Rostislav F. , Vaselenko Oksana S.
Published: March 2019

Introduction. The article is devoted to the issue of identifying the general and specific features of arrangement of local self-government in big cities. This issue is relevant both for the theoretical understanding of the activities of local authorities in city districts, and for improving the system of local self-government in megalopolises.

Materials and Methods. The study used publicly accessible information and scientific literature on countries and cities with the most pronounced models and approaches to the arrangement of local self-government. The authors adopted the comparative method of research and analyzed the regulatory framework of the selected countries and cities in terms of the arrangement of local self-government as well as the administrative and territorial division.

Results. A number of foreign models of municipal self-government in large cities have been considered. The analysis of the selected cases (including those of major cities in Europe, America and Asia) has demonstrated the similarity of certain tendencies inherent in both Russian and foreign megalopolises. A trend has been revealed towards the centralization of powers at the city level of administration as a result of the delegation or alienation of resources from the district municipalities.

Discussion and Conclusion. The foreign experience of arrangement of local self-government in the territories within cities demonstrates that the determining factor for the models of municipal self-government in megalopolises is the balance between the representation of intracity municipalities at the city level and their autonomy, and not the influence of the legal system or political regime. The results of the research can be used when studying the political subjectivity of city districts. Further research will help develop a conceptual framework for the political analysis of the district-level municipalities.
Khitan Studies I. The Glyphs of the Khitan Small Script
Authors: Wu Yingzhe , Róna-Tas András
Published: March 2019

This paper investigates how the Khitan Small Script renders labial stops of the Khitan language in the initial position of words and syllables. Furthermore, it deals with the problems of alloglyphs, drawings of similar shape, and denotations of the same phoneme. The paper begins with the use of glyphs in cases where they transcribe Chinese words. Evidence permitting, this is followed by the use of glyphs in cases of Chinese loanwords and names—subjects in which we have a robust background. Finally, it examines words of Khitan origin with initial labial stops. The result of our investigation is that postaspiration was the distinguishing feature in the binary opposition of labial stops. Alternation of  ~
 writing is common in cases where a word occurs with high frequency. To demonstrate this, we used the Khitan Corpus published in 2017.

Cladocera is investigated in waterbodies of Vinh Long province during 2013 to 2014. Samples were collected from eight stations. 18 cladocera species belonging to 14 genus, 7 family, 2 order and 1 class were observed. In that, 14 species were recorded in 2013, and 15 species were recorded in 2014. The species composition of order Anomopoda always dominates in waterbodies. The species Grimaldina brazzai Richard, 1892 (Macrotricidae, Anomopoda, Branchiopoda) are redescribed from material collected in Co Chien river of Vinh Long province in 2013. The results have identified 04 female individuals, but no male individuals of G. brazzai are recorded. Morphological characteristics of G. brazzai are as descriptive as Richard (1892), Brook (1956) and Idris (1983). Morphological characteristics of Grimaldina và G. brazzai female are described and illustrated details by Optikam and Adobe Illustrator CS5. Some morphology characters used to identify, e.g., eye, head pores, Labral plate, Antennule I - II, postabdomen. The genus Grimaldina comprises only one species G. brazzai. This species has been recorded in lakes and rice fields of Brazil, Thailan, Lao, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and Singapore, rare species. The first time in Vietnam Shirota (1966) was recorded this species in South Vietnam, but he has not describe.

Seawater from South China Sea was used instead of freshwater to fabricate magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC). To study the basic performance of the seawater-mixed MOC paste, the setting time, hydration exothermic characteristics, compressive strength, thermal stability, seawater resistance, phase composition and microstructure of the paste were analysed in detail. The results showed that the use of seawater in the MOC paste slightly retarded the setting time and increased the total hydration heat. The compressive strength and thermal stability of the seawater-mixed MOC were slightly lower than those of the MOC paste prepared with freshwater. The main hydration product of both MOC pastes was 5Mg(OH)2.MgCl2.8H2O. The residual strength ratio of the seawater MOC paste was 9·70% higher than that of the freshwater MOC paste after 28 d immersion in seawater. However, the standard deviations suggest that the properties of MOC pastes prepared with seawater or freshwater were not significantly different.
Unraveling the multiscale damping properties of two-dimensional layered MXene
Authors: Loganathan Archana , Nautiyal Pranjal , Boesl Benjamin , Agarwal Arvind
Published: March 2019

MXene has emerged as an exciting two-dimensional nanomaterial because of its interesting multifunctional properties. In this paper, the authors report the multiscale damping behaviors of pure MAX and MXene. Dynamic loading of a multilayer MXene assembly shows an appreciable loss tangent (tan δ), indicating the energy-dissipation ability of the material. The tan δ value of MXene is recorded to be as high as 0·37, which is about a 200% improvement over that of pure MAX. It is hypothesized that there are multiscale energy-loss mechanisms active in the material. While intralayer bond contraction operates in individual MXene sheets, interlayer compression and sliding/shearing mechanisms are active between the stacked layers. The presence of functional groups, van der Waals interactions and a low coefficient of friction between the MXene sheets provide MXene with an extraordinary energy-dissipation ability. Damping behavior is highly stable in MXene for as high as 50 000 cycles, making it extremely promising for advanced applications requiring superior impact resistance, stability against noise and ability to damp mechanical vibrations.
La formación de los futuros docentes. Entre historia, competitividad, e incertidumbre
Authors: Muñoz Martín
Published: March 2019

Objetivo: Analizar los rasgos de los modelos de docentes en la historia de la educación en México para poder retomar elementos que permitan comprender su complejidad en un nuevo contexto caracterizado por la globalización, el neoliberalismo y los avances científicos y tecnológicos. Método: Se ubica dentro del enfoque cualitativo, los autores analizados fueron: Woods (1987),  Goetz y Lecompte (1988), Clifford (2001), Álvarez Gayaou (2003), y Geertz (2003), entre otros. A fin de tratar de comprender para hacer visible lo invisible, y dar voz a los participantes. Las estrategias utilizadas fueron: la observación, la entrevista y las historias de vida, posteriormente, se cruzó información con el análisis de planes y programas de estudio que se han utilizado en las escuelas normales mediante matrices de análisis. Resultados: Entre los principales hallazgos se destaca que la formación docente ha evolucionado de acuerdo con el marco político, económico e ideológico, por lo que “vocación,” “compromiso,” “solidaridad,” “promoción de la justicia social,” se transformaron gradualmente. Conclusiones: Se ha pasado de ser emancipador social, a técnico de la enseñanza, posteriormente a facilitador de aprendizajes y en los últimos años a ser competente con nuevos rasgos de: “calidad,” “eficiencia,” “eficacia,” y “equidad,” en un ambiente de incertidumbre.

Published: March 2019

Este artículo revisa las principales teorías sobre la adquisición de conocimiento y el aprendizaje, justificando el surgimiento del Conectivismo como el paradigma educativo más útil para entender el aprendizaje en la era digital y los procesos de e-learning. Se presenta al conectivismo como una evolución respecto a las escuelas anteriores y no una revolución teórica en el ámbito pedagógico. Se valora al Psicoanálisis y la Escuela de la Gestalt como antecedentes más remotos y se considera la influencia del Instruccionismo, Constructivismo, Teoría del Caos, Neurociencia, Teoría de redes y Sistemas Adaptativos Complejos como referentes directos. Se continúa con el análisis de las influencias recibidas por las distintas escuelas teóricas coetáneas y actuales, como la Teoría de la Conversación, la Teoría del Actor?Red, la Red de aprendizaje (Network Learning), e?learning 2.0., Microlearning, Nano?learning, Universidad 2.0., Currículum 2.0., Pedagogía 2.0. y el Navegacionismo, para completar los fundamentos teóricos sobre los que se apoya el Conectivismo. Se concluye pronosticando cada vez mayor relevancia en el ámbito educativo de este paradigma.

É de grande importância entender a relação entre atividade física e comportamento sedentário com a satisfação com a vida de idosos. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a atividade física e a satisfação com a vida entre idosos institucionalizados e idosos usuários dos Centro Dia. Trata-se de estudo transversal, realizado entre fevereiro a junho de 2017, com 31 idosos de ambos os sexos, sendo 19 institucionalizados e 11 frequentadores de Centro Dia, do município de Maringá, Paraná. Foi utilizado um questionário com questões sociodemográficas, Escala de Satisfação com a vida e o International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), versão curta. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizado o teste de Shapiro-Wilk, Qui-quadrado, exato de Fisher, “U” de Mann-Whitney e o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. A significância adotada foi de p < 0,05. Os idosos frequentadores dos Centro Dia caminham mais dias por semana (p = 0,001), praticaram mais dias de atividades moderadas por semana (p = 0,039) e mais minutos por dia (p = 0,039), por semana (p = 0,032) destas atividades. O tempo sentado durante a semana apresentou correlação significativa (p < 0,05) e negativa como os minutos de caminhada por dia, os minutos de caminhada por semana e a satisfação com a vida. Já o tempo sentado durante o fim de semana apresentou correlação significativa (p < 0,05) e negativa apenas com os minutos de caminhada por dia. Idosos institucionalizados são menos ativos fisicamente, apesar de ficarem menos tempo sentados durante os fins de semana. Além disso, o comportamento sedentário do idoso é um fator que pode estar relacionado à redução de atividades físicas leves e da satisfação com a vida.

Published: March 2019

Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma avaliação fisioterapêutica em um voluntário com malformação congênita do membro inferior direito, a fim de conhecer seus aspectos motores e funcionais, devido ao fato de ser um caso peculiar com incidência de 1 a cada 100.000 nascidos vivos. Tratou-se de um relato de caso, realizado na clínica escola de fisioterapia de uma universidade do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Os procedimentos consistiram em: anamnese, exame físico, escalas e instrumentos de avaliação do controle, índice de Barthel modificado, plataforma de força e avaliação postural. Pode-se observar através da avaliação fisioterapêutica alterações posturais relevantes com assimetrias entre os hemicorpos, déficit de equilíbrio e diminuição de força muscular no membro inferior direito, o que acarreta uma alteração biomecânica importante no participante avaliado. Essas informações coletadas durante as avaliações são essenciais para conhecer as alterações físicas decorrentes da malformação congênita para promover um melhor direcionamento em seu tratamento.

O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a morfologia neuronal a partir de modelos animais, fornecer informações biológicas difíceis de serem obtidas em humanos, permitindo estudar condições neuropsiquiátricas como doença de Alzheimer, ansiedade, dentre outras. O presente trabalho descreveu metodologia de estudo para cérebro de roedores, duas técnicas neuroanatômicas, Klüver-Barrera e Golgi-Cox, e seus respectivos processos de quantificação. A técnica de Klüver-Barrera permitiu visualização da substância branca e cinzenta com destaque na bainha de mielina. A técnica de Golgi-Cox, adaptada para realidade de nosso laboratório, mostrou-se eficiente para visualização de neurônios e seus prolongamentos, como dendritos e espinhas dendríticas, permitindo assim a quantificação. A partir de imagens obtidas de microscópio descreveu-se os diferentes passos para quantificação, a determinação de volume de estruturas internas cerebrais (corpo caloso e camada celular do hipocampo) assim como a quantificação das espinhas dendríticas em neurônios piramidais. Os métodos descritos e detalhados poderão ser utilizados em vários campos da neurociência.
