Aesthetotherapeutic Ways of the Formation of the Worldview Culture in Future Primary School Teachers
Authors: Kulimova Yuliia
Published: February 2021

The article deals with the problem of the formation of the worldview culture of the carriers of Good, Beauty and Truth, namely primary school teachers. According to the author, the elementary school teacher is the first professional person, who has an opportunity to provide the younger generation with the knowledge about the contemporary picture of the world, shaping their readiness for changes and effective solution of different life situations. The problem of forming the worldview culture of future educators has been the subject of researches conducted by a number of scholars in different scientific fields. Most educators defined this term as the content of the views and beliefs of an individual, his or her social attitudes and moral principles of behavior. In the article the role of innovative psychological-pedagogical and spiritual-therapeutic educational practice – aesthetotherapy, which allows opening a person’s interests and aspirations to ideals in their worldview value – has been actualized. The author covers the experience of aesthetotherapeutic preparation of future elementary school teachers in the context of forming a worldview culture. Such professional education is carried out in the form of working out a number of professionally-oriented games and exercises, in particular: art-technique (“Self-portrait”), phototherapeutic exercise (“Way of life” and “Working with polarities”), “Creating a fairy tale” technique, methods of derephlexia, etc.

Authors: Echternacht Tiago Henrique de Souza , Cordeiro Adônis Antas
Published: February 2021

Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, identificar a situação do Governo Aberto no município de João Pessoa – PB, a partir da percepção do gestor responsável pelo processo. A pesquisa carecterizou-se como exploratória e qualitativa. O sujeito da pesquisa foi o secretário executivo da Secretaria de Transparência Pública – SETRANSP do município de João Pessoa. A coleta de dados foi feita, por meio da reaplicação e adaptação de um questionário realizado pelo Centro de Pesquisa NOVAGOB da Espanha, além da aplicação de uma entrevista semiestruturada, como complemento qualitativo. A análise dos dados ocorreu com a análise descritiva do questionário e com a descrição da transcrição em textos para a entrevista. Os resultados mostraram uma situação de implementação parcial do Governo Aberto no município de João Pessoa, mesmo considerando a existência de iniciativas de Governo Aberto, baseadas na percepção do secretário executivo da SETRANSP. Os resultados também mostraram o nível de conhecimento possuído pelo secretário dentro de um conhecimento básico, e o fato do secretário executivo estar preparado para liderar as iniciativas avançadas de Governo Aberto no município de João Pessoa.
O SOBRETRABALHO DO PROFESSOR DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL COMO ELEMENTO COLABORADOR AO SEU ADOECIMENTO PSÍQUICO
Authors: Brito Renato Macedo de
Published: February 2021

Guiada pelo principal objetivo de analisar a colaboração da organização flexível da atividade docente em rede particular no adoecimento psíquico dos professores, a presente pesquisa realizou uma investigação qualitativa da qual se dispôs a utilizar de entrevistas semiestruturadas para obter informações de treze participantes que trabalham em instituições particulares da cidade Natal. Os dados coletados foram analisados pelo método de núcleos de significação, que buscou na fala dos entrevistados, as percepções que esses possuem quanto a realidade que vivenciam em seu ambiente de trabalho. Com os principais achados desta investigação, é possível evidenciar que na atividade do professorado existem fatores que não só revelam um cotidiano que possui aspectos de uma organização de trabalho flexível, mas que também, colaboram com o sofrimento e o adoecimento desse público. Tais circunstancias encontram-se no pouco tempo para repouso, muitas atividades a serem realizadas em um curto espaço de tempo, tensão em ambiente de trabalho, e falta de material para aulas diferenciadas.
Efficient Detection of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Adulteration via UV and FTIR Spectra in combination with Heat-Mediated Oxidation Method
Authors: Gholami Khesht Sepideh , Kavusi E , Mousavi M
Published: February 2021

The main aim of this study is simple and fast authentication of extra virgin olive oil by different spectroscopic techniques individually and also in combination with minimal chemical waste. UV spectra of the EVOO and mixed olive oil samples were recorded before the heating test and then along the thermal degradation experiments at the 45- and 90-mins intervals set for the analysis.  The EVOO and mixed oils samples showed high absorption values around 240-300 nm band. The results showed that the characteristics of FTIR spectra including peak number, peak position and peak shape in mixed samples were significantly different from EVOO samples. According to the studies, the frequencies of around 2920 cm−1 and 2856 cm−1 could be related with C–H stretching (e.g. cis-double bonds) and with –C–H asymmetrical and symmetrical stretching in methylene groups. The frequency at 2925 cm−1 is associated with aliphatic CH2 groups. Around 1366 cm−1 and 1451 cm−1, these frequencies could be associated with the bending vibrations of C–H groups. The results reveal that the UV–VIS and FT-IR analytical tools are the most suitable and reliable tools to detect and quantify high levels (over 10%) of adulteration in mixes of EVO with other vegetable oils.
Çapraz Evliliklerde Aile Fotoğrafları Aracılığıyla Kimlik, Toplumsal Cinsiyet ve Göçü Anlamak
Authors: ÖZDAMAR AKARÇAY Gülbin
Published: February 2021

Makalede, Toronto’da yaşayan çapraz evlilik yapmış Türkiyeli göçmenlerin aileyi nasıl kurduklarına; ait oldukları kimliklerin ve cemaatlerin aile ve ilişki üzerine etkilerine ve toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine odaklanılmıştır. Kültürlerarası iletişimi tesis eden en temel ilişkilerinden biri olan çapraz evlilikler farklı dil, din, ırk ve ulustan bir araya gelmiş iki kişinin evliliğini anlatan bir kavramdır. Çapraz evliliklerinin en önemli belirleyicilerinden biri ise evlenenlerin kimliklerinden doğan karşıtlıklardır. Makalede kategoriler oluşturulurken Türkiye’de kimlik bağlamında yerleşmiş ötekilik temel alınmış, öte yandan Kanada deneyimi bağlamında göçmen olarak farklılıkları da unutulmamıştır. Toronto’da yapılan araştırmanın bir bölümünü oluşturan bu çalışmada, katılımcı aileler Alevi-Sünni ve Türk-Kürt evlilikleri yapmış 3 aileden seçilmiştir. Araştırmada fotografik uyarıma dayalı görüşme tekniği kullanılırken, aile fotoğraf albümleri görüşmelerde veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Geçmişe, şimdiden fotoğraflar aracılığıyla bakmak, geçmişi yeniden üretmek olduğu kadar, var olan geçmişin şimdide nasıl anlamlandırıldığını ve geçmişe dair unutulanların belleğe hangi gerçeklerle geri çağrıldığını gösterir. Bu nedenle araştırmada ailelerle birlikte fotoğraf albümlerine bakılmış, onların fotoğraflara verdikleri tepki ya da ilgi sorularla gözlemlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada, Alevi-Sünni ve Türk-Kürt çapraz evliliklerinde cemaatçiliğin, gelenek ve inançların, siyasi savunuculuğun kimlik ve toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin inşasında önemli bir role sahip olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Katılımcı aileler çok kültürlü toplum olarak bilinen bir ülkeye yerleşmiş olsalar da ailelerin kendi memleketlerinden getirdikleri önyargıları, inançları ve baskıları yeniden ürettikleri görülmektedir.
Glosa do wyroku Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego we Wrocławiu z dnia 22 lipca 2019 r., sygn. I SA/Wr 365/19
Authors: Porada Łukasz
Published: February 2021

Glosa omawia wyrok Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego we Wrocławiu, w którym po raz pierwszy wyraźnie sprzeciwiono się praktyce instrumentalnego wszczynania postępowań karnych skarbowych w celu zawieszenia biegu terminu przedawnienia zobowiązań podatkowych. Sąd doszedł do wniosku, co jest istotnym novum, że zasadność wszczęcia postępowania karnego skarbowego nie może pozostawać poza kontrolą sądową. W wyroku rozwinięto również zagadnienie nadużycia prawa przez organy podatkowe, które to nadużycie stało się podstawą do uchylenia zaskarżonej decyzji, oraz zaproponowano uniwersalny test nadużycia prawa przez organy podatkowe. W związku z tym autor wyraził nadzieję, że wyrok ten będzie przełomowy, a sądy administracyjne coraz częściej zaczną kwestionować praktyki organów mające znamiona nadużycia prawa.
Glosa częściowo aprobująca do wyroku Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego w Warszawie z dnia 8 czerwca 2018 r., sygn. III SA/Wa 2354/17
Authors: Wielec Michał
Published: February 2021

Glosa dotyczy budzącego wątpliwości w doktrynie problemu stosowania przepisów klauzuli przeciwko unikaniu opodatkowania w aspekcie intertemporalnym. Autor glosy nie zgadza się z przedstawionym w orzeczeniu poglądem, że przepisy klauzuli przeciwko unikaniu opodatkowania mogą być każdorazowo stosowane do korzyści podatkowych osiągniętych na skutek czynności podjętych w stanie prawnym sprzed nowelizacji. Rozumienie reguły międzyczasowej w ten sposób może bowiem prowadzić do prawnej rekwalifikacji na niekorzyść podatnika faktów prawnych w zamkniętych już sytuacjach prawnych, co nie daje się pogodzić z konstytucyjną zasadą nieretroakcji prawa. W opinii autora nie można in abstracto ani wykluczyć, ani dopuścić stosowania przepisów klauzuli do stanów faktycznych z elementem dawnym. Badanie dopuszczalności retrospektywnego stosowania przepisów Ordynacji podatkowej powinno się bowiem odbywać ad causam, na gruncie konkretnych stanów faktycznych.

Visión: el tacto del espíritu
Authors: Macera Danilo
Published: February 2021

“La visión es el tacto del espíritu”.1 Esta frase, de Fernando Pessoa, tiene un mensaje inequívoco de su potencial generador que puede delinear un panorama ideal, fijar metas y objetivos retadores y compartidos. Una visión puede ser una herramienta o un fin en sí misma, puede y de hecho condiciona el logro, sea individual, empresarial o corporativo. Sin embargo, en la actualidad en las empresas, la visión no suele ser más que un enunciado breve y conciso, que no va más allá de cumplir un rol representativo del futuro de la compañía, usualmente para dar inicio al desarrollo del plan estratégico corporativo, o ser simplemente una sentencia que se espera trasmita una imagen alentadora, para que los interesados admiren el compromiso de la compañía con la sociedad, el medio ambiente, sus clientes, empleados e inversionistas. Pero una visión puede cambiar el destino de una organización si nos comprometemos con ella.
Los ciclos de los precios de los commodities y sus impactos macro-financieros: el caso del Perú
Authors: Zambrano Berendsohn Mario
Published: February 2021

Este estudio realiza el análisis de los impactos macro-financieros de la dinámica de los precios de los commodities en un grupo de países, resaltándose el caso del Perú como exportador de minerales. En el periodo revisado se hace énfasis en el súper ciclo de los precios de los commodities que se inició por el 2004, que muestra en lo más reciente unos términos de intercambio que permanecen relativamente altos para los países commodity-exporters. La fase creciente del súper ciclo ha tenido dos importantes efectos macroeconómicos en la muestra de países. Uno, el impulso que recibió el PBI desde el 2004 y el segundo, sobre la tasa de inversión en la minería, que fue extremadamente mejorada durante el boom de los commodities. En el primer semestre de 2015 el índice de precios de los minerales se ha mantenido a la baja, como es la tendencia de los últimos años. Esto principalmente debido a caídas en los precios del cobre y del oro, que estarían regresando a sus fundamentos, impulsadas por la menor tasa de crecimiento de China, que incluye el ajuste de su mercado de valores; y de una posible alza efectiva de la tasa de interés en la economía estadounidense estimado para el segundo semestre de 2015. En el caso del Perú, un hecho particular que hace la distinción en el análisis es el mayor grado de dolarización de su sistema financiero respecto a otros países commodity-exporters de la región. Ello puede asociarse, entre otros, a las diferencias en el ajuste cambiario 2014-15 que se ha venido observando en estas economías para reducir déficits de la cuenta corriente. La devaluación observada ha tenido ya consecuencias no sólo a través de la cuenta diferencia de cambio en los estados financieros de empresas, con mayor énfasis en aquellas empresas no exportadoras ni bancarias que fueron importantes emisores de deuda corporativa en el exterior en el periodo 2011-14, sino también con el incremento de la morosidad del sistema bancario. En la parte final del estudio se discuten algunas recomendaciones de políticas macro-financieras que, para el caso del Perú, se podrían explorar para paliar los impactos macro-económicos del ajuste de precios del cobre

Ética y empresa: la ciudadanía y los fines de la empresa
Authors: Escalante Beltrán María Soledad
Published: February 2021

La determinación del horizonte de finalidades y la inserción de la empresa en la realidad son momentos constitutivos de su existencia que amplifican la mirada tradicional sobre ella. La mirada tradicional hace de la empresa una entidad ajena y extraña a la comunidad, la sociedad, la ciudadanía y el Estado. Conceptos como «cooperación» e «inclusión social» resultan chocantes para la mirada tradicional. La empresa del siglo XXI tiene a su favor la experiencia de la incertidumbre que hace vacilar, y muchas veces retroceder, al capital financiero en contextos críticos; dispone, además, de los medios y los recursos para superar la obsolescencia del viejo modelo, que amenaza la sostenibilidad de la propia empresa porque la sitúa de espaldas a la realidad y desentendida del impacto real que tienen sus actividades en la vida de las personas, en la creencia de que, desvinculada (teóricamente) del Estado, vive ya la utopía del “mundo postpolítico y apolítico” donde se impone la hobbesiana “ley del más fuerte”, que opta por la imposición autoritaria y la violencia cuando renuncia a la cooperación, al diálogo y la búsqueda consciente y consistente de puntos de confluencia que permitan establecer acuerdos que faciliten la convivencia pacífica.
¿El fin del libre albedrío?
Authors: Zilberman Jack
Published: February 2021

¿Existe el libre albedrío o estamos determinados a actuar de cierta manera? ¿Los pensamientos, deseos y acciones humanas están predeterminadas por una cadena de causa y efecto y aun así “causalmente” determinan el futuro? Este artículo pretende contribuir al debate de estas interrogantes a través del análisis de diversos puntos de vista de filósofos, doctores y pensadores en tan importante tema, el cual, al final, podría significar que, si las personas están determinadas y no son capaces de elegir, entonces no deberían ser moralmente responsables de sus actos y, por lo tanto, la libertad sería sólo una ilusión.

Cambio de paradigmas en la educación básica regular
Authors: Zilberman Jack
Published: February 2021

La educación tiene un rol fundamental en el desarrollopolítico, económico y social de un país. Ofrece la  posibilidad a las personas de escapar de la pobreza y participar activa y plenamente en la sociedad y en el mercado. En términos generales, el Estado ha asumido la  responsabilidad de proporcionar y financiar la educación básica. Sin embargo, por su envergadura, ello resulta muy complejo, exigiéndose un cambio de paradigmas. El presente trabajo explica que las asociaciones público-privadas han surgido como respuesta a esta necesidad. Diferentes modelos consideran dividir el financiamiento de la provisión del servicio educativo, como alternativa para poder incrementar el acceso y mejorar la calidad, citando como ejemplos a emular a las escuelas de “Fe y Alegría” y a los “Colegios de Alto Rendimiento” (COAR).
An appetite for cases

El uso de estudios de casos en las escuelas de negocio fue introducido originalmente por la Universidad de Harvard. El estilo de enseñanza ha cambiado desde un enfoque en el profesor, hacia un enfoque en el estudiante, como lo refuerza la metodología denominada “clase invertida”. Se presentan las características del desempeño docente en clase. El análisis de los estudios de caso está principalmente en inglés y esto puede generar dificultades en su aprendizaje, sobre todo si en los países de Latinoamérica el nivel de inglés no está lo suficientemente desarrollado. El International Journal of Instructional Cases es una publicación que entrega estudios de casos con suficiente información de análisis para permitir un adecuado aprendizaje de la situación planteada.

La tensión redistribución-reconocimiento en las políticas sociales: notas y reflexiones desde la teoría política feminista
Authors: García Gualda Suyai Malen
Published: February 2021

En este trabajo realizamos un sucinto recorrido por el dilema redistribuciónreconocimiento desde los aportes de la filosofía y teoría política contemporánea, con especial atención en la perspectiva de la feminista Nancy Fraser. La autora entiende que la justicia requiere de la articulación entre redistribución y reconocimiento, ya que de forma aislada ambas dimensiones resultan insuficientes y, por esto, considera que pensar en una dicotomía es sostener una falsa antítesis que nubla toda posibilidad de comprender y transformar la compleja realidad contemporánea. Partimos de entender que la dimensión de género nos coloca frente a la tensión que existe entre reconocimiento y redistribución, puesto que pone en evidencia la imperiosa necesidad de articular la igualdad social con el reconocimiento de la diferencia a fin de garantizar la construcción de una sociedad justa y equitativa. A la luz del citado dilema exponemos el desarrollo de nuestro incipiente análisis de dos políticas sociales que han marcado significativamente los últimos años en Argentina: la Asignación Universal por Hijo y el Programa Ellas Hacen (modificado por la anterior gestión de gobierno). A nuestro juicio, ambas experiencias aportan interesantes datos para reflexionar sobre la urgencia de transversalizar la perspectiva interseccional de género en las políticas de estado

Published: February 2021

La presente investigación pretende dar a conocer las historias y narrativas de un grupo de mujeres inmigrantes víctimas de violencia de género conviviendo en una Casa de Acogida de la Comunidad Valenciana. Asimismo, averiguar el estado en el que llegan a la Casa de Acogida, las barreras que han tenido que sortear para abandonar la relación abusiva y la influencia del apoyo recibido durante su estancia en la misma. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa desarrollada en una entidad social utilizando un diseño de casos múltiple. La entrada a campo se produce a través de un taller de Danza Contemporánea en el que se crea un espacio de conocimiento personal y de comunicación donde las participantes cuentan sus experiencias sin ser juzgadas y liberan la carga emocional reprimida durante largo tiempo. Tras la experiencia, se puede concluir que su llegada a la Casa de Acogida es estresante por el sufrimiento padecido, la incertidumbre y las expectativas erróneas sobre lo que van a encontrar en ella. No obstante, pasado el periodo de adaptación suelen reencontrarse consigo mismas. Se van recuperando y van gestionando sus vidas con las estrategias aprendidas. Consiguen un acercamiento entre madres e hijas/hijos y salen fortalecidas y realizando una valoración positiva del apoyo profesional recibido

The formula of love: mythopoetics of K. Simonov’s cycle “With you and without you”
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Korzhova Inessa N.
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of spiritual and physical love in K. Simonov’s cycle “With you and without you” and reveal the mythopoetic foundations of the images of the cycle. The poet builds a system of binary oppositions formed by two rows: soul — light — visual perception — eyes — sound — written word, on the one hand, and body — darkness — tactile perception — hands and lips — silence — spoken word, on the other. The separate pairs of images based on the Slavic beliefs, but their correlation is the author’s neomyth. A special role belongs to the sacred word, which is understood not as a conventional sign, but as part of the designated entity. The psychophysical dichotomy itself is connected with the duality of the heroine, who either experiences a conflict between the spiritual and the physical, or is endowed with two souls. The latter aspect, as well as the ability of the heroine to incarnate in the vortex elements strengthen her connection with the images of evil spirits. There is a deliberate tension between the subjective assessment of the hero, who sees in the night appearance of the heroine a good essence, and the mythological perception of the night as dangerous, even fatal. In general, fluctuations in the assessment of the image of the heroine and the preference for different faces of love (exalted spiritual, passionate, harmonious “two-component” ones) create the internal dynamics of the cycle.

Authors: Serrão Carla , Castro Luísa , Teixeira Andreia , Rodrigues Ana Rita , Duarte Ivone
Published: February 2021

Introdução: Este estudo visa explorar a validação da Escala de Resiliência (25 itens e 14 itens), nas suas versões longa e breve. Este instrumento avalia a capacidade de o indivíduo suportar os fatores de stress, de prosperar e dar sentido a desafios vitais.Material e Métodos: A amostra integrou 511 médicos portugueses. Ambas as versões foram validadas através do estudo de validade de estrutura interna, de fiabilidade e de validade convergente. A validade de estrutura interna foi analisada através da técnica da análise de componentes principais. A fiabilidade foi verificada pelo estudo de consistência interna. Para a validade convergente, calculou-se os coeficientes de correlação entre estas versões da Escala de Resiliência e outras escalas validadas para medir depressão, ansiedade, stress e satisfação com a vida.Resultados: Ambas as versões da Escala de Resiliência apresentaram boa consistência interna. Para cada uma das versões, optou-se pela análise de componentes principais a um fator. A validade convergente foi verificada por correlações positivas significativas entre a Escala de Resiliência 25 e Escala de Resiliência 14 e uma escala de satisfação com a vida e por correlações negativas significativas entre as duas versões da Escala de Resiliência e as subescalas de depressão, ansiedade e stress.Discussão: Os resultados evidenciaram o caráter unidimensional das duas versões da Escala de Resiliência e apoiam a sua utilidade e validade na classe dos médicos.Conclusão: Trata-se do primeiro estudo de validação desta escala num grupo de médicos. Os seus resultados são muito satisfatórios, recomendando-se o uso deste instrumento neste grupo específico.
A influência da prosódia da fala na resolução de ambiguidade sintática
Authors: Almeida René Alain Santana de , Oliveira Junior Miguel , Cozijn Reinier
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo objetiva analisar o papel da prosódia na resolução de ambiguidade global em sentenças do tipo SN1 - V - SN2 - Advérbio de lugar - Advérbio de intensidade (bastante) - Atributo (e.g. O guitarrista recebeu o baterista no quarto bastante drogado), no português do Brasil. Consideramos a hipótese de que pistas prosódicas, como stress e pausa, auxiliam no processo de desambiguação, tanto de forma isolada quanto em conjunto. O paradigma experimental do presente estudo utilizou um método off-line de processamento linguístico através de um questionário cujas opções de respostas foram apresentadas em uma escala tipo Likert. Os resultados apresentados revelaram predominância de atribuição do adjetivo ao primeiro sintagma nominal, em todas as condições analisadas. Entretanto, a escolha por atribuir o adjetivo ao primeiro sintagma nominal aumentou, de forma estatisticamente significativa, nas condições em que houve manipulação prosódica para esse fim, mostrando evidências para confirmação da nossa hipótese.
Suicide Thoughts and Attempts in the Norwegian General Population During the Early Stage of the COVID-19 Outbreak
Authors: Bonsaksen Tore , Skogstad Laila , Heir Trond , Ekeberg Øivind , Schou-Bredal Inger , Grimholt Tine
Published: February 2021

The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of suicide thoughts and -attempts during the early stage of the COVID-19 outbreak and examine factors associated with suicide thoughts in the general Norwegian population. A sample of 4527 adults living in Norway were recruited via social media. Data related to suicide thoughts and attempts, mental health variables, pandemic-related concerns and sociodemographic variables were collected. Associations with suicide thoughts were analyzed with logistic regression analysis. In the sample, 3.6 % reported suicide thoughts during the last month, while 0.2 % had attempted to commit suicide during the same period. Lower age (OR: 0.66, p < 0.001), daily alcohol use (OR: 3.29, p < 0.001), being in the risk group for COVID-19 complications (OR: 2.38, p < 0.01), and having economic concerns related to the pandemic (OR: 2.51, p < 0.001) were associated with having suicide thoughts. In addition to known risk factors, the study suggests that aspects specific to COVID-19 may be important for suicidal behaviors during the pandemic.

Published: February 2021

This work aims to investigate systematically the influence of process temperature and biomass-to-water ration on the chemical composition of aqueous and gaseous phases and mass production of chemical by hydrothermal processing of Açaí (Euterpe Oleraceae, Mart.) seeds. The hydrothermal carbonization carried out at 175, 200, 225, and 250 °C, 2 °C/min, biomass-to-water ratio of 1:10, and at 250 °C, 2 °C/min, and biomass-to-water ratios of 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20, in technical scale. The chemical composition of aqueous phase determined by GC and HPLC and the volumetric composition of gaseous phase by using an infrared gas analyzer. For constant biomass-to-water ratio of 1:10, the yields of solid, liquid, and gaseous phases varied between 53.39 and 37.01% (wt.), 46.61 and 59.19% (wt.), and 0.00 and 3.80% (wt.), respectively. The yield of solids shows a smooth exponential decay with temperature, while that of liquid and gaseous phases a smooth growth. By variation of biomass-to-water ratios, the yields of solid, liquid, and gaseous reaction products varied between 53.39 and 32.09% (wt.), 46.61 and 67.28% (wt.), and 0.00 and 0.634% (wt.), respectively. The yield of solids decreases exponentially with increasing water-to-biomass ratio and that of liquid phase increases in a sigmoid fashion. For constant biomass-to-water ratio, the concentrations of Furfural and HMF decrease drastically with temperature, reaching a minimum at 250 °C, while that of phenols increases. In addition, the concentrations of CH3COOH and total carboxylic acids increase, reaching a maximum at 250 °C. For constant process temperature, the concentrations of aromatics vary smoothly with the temperature. The concentrations of furfural, HMF, and cathecol decrease with temperature, while that of phenols increases. The concentrations of CH3COOH and total carboxylic acids decrease exponentially with temperature. Finally, for the experiments with varying water-to-biomass ratios, the productions of chemicals (furfural, HMF, phenols, cathecol, and acetic acid) in the aqueous phase is highly dependent on the biomass-to-water ratio.

Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is an uncommon form of ectopic pregnancy. This review defines types of CSEP, discusses pathophysiology, clinical presentation and diagnosis and compares common treatment options and outcomes. The pathophysiology is not yet fully understood. One third of patient are asymptomatic. In symptomatic patients vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain which is usually misdiagnosed as threatened or missed abortion. The main principles of treatment for CSEP are early diagnose, quick management, and maintain reproductive function as much as possible. Up to date; no consensus or guidelines for the treatment and management of CSEP. Management of CSEP depends on the clinical presentation and gestational age. Significant controversy exists regarding management, for this reason, several factors should be considered including age of the patient, myometrial thickness, clinical symptoms, hemodynamic status, fertility preservation.

Karakoram highway (K.K.H.) the only road link between two countries China and Pakistan. This road network is essential for two countries due to its strategic location and socioeconomic. The highway is more vulnerable due to landslide disasters, especially in rain and snow melting seasons, and different kinds of mass movement activities have occurred along K.K.H., such as rockfall, debris flow, and snow avalanche. The slope stability problems are widespread along with Karakorum (K.K.H.) between Besham city and the Dasu area because of the high seismic zone, rainfall, snow melting, and complex geology slope geometry, week, and adverse discontinuities sets. The detailed fieldwork was done along the Karakorum highway to minimize the risk of slope stability and for planning purposes in Besham to Dasu area and selected nine road-cut slopes. However, in these nine selected roadcut slopes, three slopes were already failed, four slopes are partially stable, and two slopes were stable. Both kinematic and empirical approaches are applied on all these nine road cut slopes and their discontinuities. The kinematic result has shown that all kinds of mode failure such as Toppling, Planar, and Wedge failure mode occurred in these slopes. The RMRb result has shown that all discounters lie in between fair to good rock. Both discrete and continuous (S.M.R.) results show that all discontinuity sets lie between the unstable, partially stable, and stable conditions.
Truncation Mixture R-Vine Copulas

Published: February 2021

Uncovering hidden mixture correlation among variables have been investigating in the literature using mixture R-vine copula models. These models are hierarchical in nature. They provides a huge flexibility for modelling multivariate data. As the dimensions increases, the number of the model parameters that need to be estimated is increased dramatically, which becomes along with huge computational times and efforts. This situation becomes even much more harder and complicated in the mixture Regular vine models. Incorporating truncation method with mixture Regular vine models will reduce the computation difficulty for the mixture based models. In this paper, tree-by-tree estimation mixture model is joined with the truncation method, in order to reduce the computational time and the number of the parameters that need to be estimated in the mixture vine copula models. A simulation study and a real data applications illustrated the performance of the method. In addition, the real data applications show the affect of the mixture components on the truncation level.
Phase Equilibria of Acid-Gas Aqueous Systems (CO2, H2S, CH4, Water) and In-Situ pH Measurements in Application to Top-of-Line Corrosion

Published: February 2021

We present thermodynamic modeling and pH measurements of fluid systems containing acid-gases (e.g., CO2 and H2S), water, and hydrocarbons—replicating the production and shutdown conditions in sour fields—for the purpose of evaluating top-of-line corrosion (TLC) and wellbore integrity and screening/selection of the proper wellbore materials. In particular:

An equation of state (EOS) model using Peng-Robinson EOS in combination with the Huron-Vidal (HV) mixing rule for an aqueous subsystem is developed. In the model, subject EOS parameters are calibrated against existing thermodynamic data (saturation data for pure components and solubility data for binary systems) in literature. New in-situ pH measurement data are presented for a model system corresponding to a sour field. It was found that the wellbore can be subjected to pH levels as low as 2.7 with reservoir fluid containing 12 mol% CO2 and 88 mol% CH4 with downhole flowing conditions of 200 bar and 150°C and wellhead shut-in conditions of 300 bar and 4°C, as observed from the experiments. A modeling workflow is developed to estimate pH of the condensed water as a function of temperature and composition of the aqueous phase. The comparison between prediction and experimental measurement shows a very good match between the two (within pH ±0.1).

Such studies (pH measurements and prediction) are not available in the literature but play important roles in material screening and assuring wellbore integrity for sour fields. More importantly, sensitivity analysis can be performed to investigate the effects of various factors (such as reservoir temperature/pressure, shutdown conditions, and compositions or extent of souring) on pH prediction. Furthermore, the methodologies developed through this work can also be extended to reservoir facilities, pipelines, sour gas disposal/handling units, and downstream systems such as water utilities, reactor plants, and refineries. The work can also support regulation/licensing for these sour systems.
Predicting Reservoir Fluid Properties from Advanced Mud Gas Data

In a recent paper, we published a machine learning method to quantitatively predict reservoir fluid gas/oil ratio (GOR) from advanced mud gas (AMG) data. The significant increase of the model accuracy compared to traditional modeling approaches makes it possible to estimate reservoir fluid GOR based on AMG data while drilling, before the wireline operation. This approach has clear advantages because of early access, low cost, and a continuous reservoir fluid GOR for all reservoir zones. This paper releases further study results to predict other reservoir fluid properties in addition to GOR, which is essential for geo-operations, field development plans, and production optimization.

Two approaches were selected to predict other reservoir fluid properties. As illustrated by the reservoir fluid density example, we developed machine learning models for individual reservoir fluid properties for the first approach, similar to the GOR prediction approach in the previous paper. As for the second approach, instead of developing many machine learning models for individual reservoir fluid property, we investigated the essential properties for equation of state (EOS) fluid characterization: C6 and C7+ composition and the molecular weight and density of the C7+ fraction. Once these properties are in place, the entire spectrum of reservoir fluid properties can be calculated with the EOS model.

The results of reservoir fluid property prediction are satisfactory with both approaches. The reservoir oil density prediction has a mean average error (MAE) of 0.039 g/cm3. The accuracy is similar to the typical density derived from the pressure gradient from wireline logging data. For the essential fluid properties required for EOS model prediction, the overall accuracy is less than the laboratory measurements but acceptable as the early phase estimations. The reservoir fluid properties predicted from the EOS model are similar to the predictions from individual machine learning models. We applied the field measured AMG data into the reservoir fluid property models and achieved good results, as illustrated by the reservoir fluid density example.

The previous paper completed the methodology to predict all reservoir fluid properties based on AMG data. This work paves the way to generate a complete reservoir fluid log for all relevant reservoir fluid properties while drilling. The method has a significant business impact, providing full coverage of reservoir fluid properties along the well path in the early drilling phase. The advantage of providing reservoir fluid properties in all reservoir zones while drilling far outweighs the limitation of somewhat reduced reservoir fluid property accuracy.
The Build-Up of Aerosols Carrying the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus, in Poorly Ventilated, Confined Spaces
Authors: Birnir Björn
Published: February 2021

A model of the distribution of respiratory droplets and aerosols by Lagrangian turbulent air-flow is developed and used to show how the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus can be dispersed by the breathing of an infected person. It is shown that the concentration of viruses in the exhaled cloud can increase to infectious levels with time (grow linearly), in a confined space where the air re-circulates. The model is used to analyze the air-flow and SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus build-up in a restaurant in Guangzhou, China [32, 30]. It is concluded that the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in the restaurant in January 2020, is due to the build-up of the airborne droplets and aerosols carrying the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus and would not have been prevented by standard ventilation. A comparison with standard models for aerosol concentration shows that, in the absence of ventilation, the decay of the aerosol concentration is also controlled by the decay time of the virions in aerosols. This decay time is very long, with low relative humidity, and a steady state is not achieved in the time-frame of the contagion. Instead the concentration exhibits a polynomial increase and reaches infectious levels in a relatively short time, explaining the outbreak in the restaurant in Guangzhou.

Many organisms live in the soil but only a little is known about their ecology especially movement style. Scarab beetle larvae do not have appendages to shovel soil and their trunk is thick compared to their body length. Hence, their movement through the soil is perplexing. Here, we established the observation and analysis system of larval movement and found that the last larval instars of Trypoxylus dichotomus burrow in two different ways, depending on the hardness of the soil. If the soil is soft, the larvae keep their body in a straight line and use longitudinal expansion and contraction; if the soil is hard, they flex and rotate their body. It is thought that the larvae adapt to diverse soil conditions using two different excavation methods. These results are important for understanding the soil ecology and pose a challenge to engineer of newer excavation technology.

Databases of plant have been an integral part of modern biology. Enormous quantities of data are produced from plants and improving with time, many databases have been published with large amounts of data in various fields, including proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics, and metabolomics. To make it easier, a comprehensive database is needed to sort and organized all these data to one platform and give an easy and friendly finding way to plant research community, because, databases are a standard strategy for analyzing, storing, and processing such big data. Therefore, we have compiled 225 plant databases on a single platform and grouped them into 5 categories on the basis of various typescripts, such as the Protein, DNA, RNA, Pathway and Expression database, which can be indexed by clicking on the name of the category or by clicking on the picture expression or directly searching in the specified search bar in the database. DBPR is a comprehensive plant resource database that is available on https://www.habdsk.org/dbpr.php . Computer platform such as PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript has been used to build and will be updated timely.
Does mental rotation emulate motor processes? An electrophysiological study of objects and body parts

Published: February 2021

Several arguments suggest that mental rotation (MR) and motor planning may share embodied neural mechanisms, but the overlap between cognitive processes recruited during MR of objects and body parts is not well established. We here used high-density EEG to examine the cognitive similarity between MR of non-manipulable objects (chairs) and bodily stimuli (hands). We selected chairs because they may appear in a recognizable left-right orientation and are not automatically associated with a manual action. Participants had identical response options for both types of stimuli, and they gave responses orally in order to prevent possible interference with motor imagery. MR of hands and chairs generated very similar behavioral responses, time-courses and neural sources of evoked-response potentials (ERPs). ERP segmentation analysis revealed distinct time windows during which differential effects of stimulus type and angular disparity were observed. An early period (90-160 ms) differentiated only between stimulus types, and was associated with occipito-temporal activity. A later period (290-330 ms) revealed strong effects of angular disparity, associated with electrical sources in the right angular gyrus and primary motor/somatosensory cortex. These data suggest that spatial transformation processes and motor planning are recruited simultaneously, supporting the involvement of motor emulation processes in MR.
