Published: November 2020

Unsatisfactory results of complex treatment for malignant brain tumors stimulate search of new effective methods of treatment. Radiation therapy is an integral part of the combined treatment but often does not influence lethally on resistant tumor cells. Thereby in recent decades there has been an active search for different modifiers, which can increase the sensitivity of tumors to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. One of the universal sensitizers is the local hyperthermia. Experimental data showed that the effect of high temperatures had both a direct damaging effect on tumor cells and a sensitizing effect. The literature review given in the article provides an overview of the existing methods of the local hyperthermia for brain tumors treatment.
Holocene development of the Arresø area, north-east Sjælland, Denmark.
Authors: Bennike Ole , Pantmann Pernille , Aarsleff Esben
Published: November 2020

The Arresø area in north-east Sjælland, Denmark, was deglaciated about 18,000 to 16,000 years ago. In the Holocene it was probably a land area until it was transgressed by the sea c. 8500 years BP. During a first marine phase the area housed a species-rich marine fauna that included the oyster Ostrea edulis, the salinity and water temperatures were higher than at present, and there was a wide connection to the Kattegat sea. At about 6500 years BP there was a short-lived lake or brackish-water phase, but marine conditions were soon re-established with a fauna less diverse than before, and both salinity and water temperatures decreased. The present lake Arresø became isolated from the sea about 2500 years BP. The transition from brackish water to fresh water was rapid; the lake developed from shallow alkaline waters to deeper more acidic waters and finally to eutrophic waters.

Authors: De Feo María Eugenia , Soria Silvia Susana , Macoritto Torcivia Claudia
Published: November 2020

Este trabajo describe los resultados de los análisis de fluorescencia de rayos X (XRF) realizados sobre 30 muestras de obsidiana de sitios de Quebrada del Toro (Salta, Argentina), que cubren un lapso de alrededor de 2000 años de ocupación (ca. 2500˗500 AP). Establecida la procedencia de las muestras se discuten los patrones de distribución de esta materia prima observados entre los diferentes sitios y períodos considerados. Los resultados alcanzados permiten argumentar el uso relativamente sostenido en el tiempo de las canteras de Alto Tocomar, Laguna Blanca˗Zapaleri y Ona˗Las Cuevas (aunque esta última está ausente durante un intervalo de alrededor de 500 años), y algunas variaciones temporales en el uso de fuentes menores. Estos resultados proveen información para discutir el acceso y consumo de obsidianas desde una perspectiva de larga duración. Estas prácticas son evaluadas en el marco de los procesos de cambio ocurridos en el rango cronológico abordado, caracterizados por importantes transformaciones en los sistemas sociopolíticos y económicos.

Authors: Shtefan Mariya , Shubina Viktoriya
Published: November 2020

This article provides the assessment of the impact of the buyer company’s financial position on the M&A effectiveness on the base of the pharmaceutical industry. We have estimated this correlation using OLS method and data for the period from 2005 to 2017. As a result, the hypothesis about the dependence of the M&A efficiency from the buyer company’s financial state has been confirmed. The developed econometric model have showed that more than 80% of variation of the cumulative abnormal return, received as a result of the transaction, is explained by growth rates of revenues and net profit, assets, current liquidity, autonomy and financial leverage, return of sales and assets at the transaction time.
Consumer Behavior in the Russian Market of Outbound Medical Tourism
Authors: Kostanyan Ani
Published: November 2020

This paper reviews the behavior of medical tourists as an interdisciplinary object of study (evidence from Moscow region). We first examine the global medical tourism market, offering the classification of medical tourism trips from the perspective of consumer needs. We reveal the drivers for medical tourism development in emerging economies (drawing on India’s experience). We construct a conceptual model of overall satisfaction of medical tourists as consumers of combined tourist and medical services. In partnership with Moscow medical tourist agencies we conducted an empirical study to identify the factors of consumer behavior of outbound medical tourists. The analysis makes it possible to substantiate the relevance of the proposed model, as well as to identify a number of distinctive features of the medical tourism segment based on the identified features of Russian medical tourists’ behavior. We conclude with the implications to promote medical tourist destinations for Russia’s medical tourists and to form a tourism product that fully meets their needs.

Along the Danube and at the Foothills of the North-Eastern Hungarian Mountains: Some Data on the Distribution of Stone Raw Materials in the Late Iron Age
Authors: Czajlik Zoltán
Published: November 2020

Stones as raw materials are important environmental resources often found at prehistoric sites. Since their various types essentially retained their original geological features, it is generally relatively easy to identify their origin. Nevertheless, there is hardly any systematic research on late prehistoric stone raw materials. Furthermore, these materials are mentioned very inconsistently and the geological terms, definitions and analyzes are absent from the discussions. The general picture that we can sketch based on secondary literature is therefore mosaic-like. However, it is by no means impossible to identify extraction sites. Based on on-site experience and using modern analyzes, it is possible, for example, to differentiate between individual types of sandstone and andesite. From the perspective of future research, analyzes of late Iron Age stone materials from well-studied archaeological contexts could contribute to understand better how stones as raw materials were used in late prehistoric periods.

A Conceptual Engagement Framework for Gamified E-Learning Platform Activities
Authors: Abdulaziz Alsubhi Mohammed , Sahari Noraidah , Tengku Wook Tengku Siti Meriam
Published: November 2020

University students utilise e-learning resources to gain easy access to information and to make general enquiries. Such online environments offer alternatives to traditional learning, which is now considered expensive, and time-consuming with varying results. Student disengagement is reported as the main problem for higher education e-learning platforms, however, leading e-learning developers to employ Gamification to counteract this issue. A plethora of game elements are used in the gamification of e-learning, however, that necessitates more careful consideration of the various learning activities used in e-learning platforms. This study thus identifies several game elements suitable for inclusion in learning activities in e-learning platforms to improve student engagement, based on a literature-based analysis. This identified the most commonly used game elements, and a subsequent questionnaire survey examined real user perspectives on these elements. As a result, a conceptual engagement framework outlining how game elements might be used to support e-learning activities to engage students is proposed. The framework is intended to be used as a guideline for developers and academics seeking to build engaging e-learning systems based on good foundational concepts. The paper thus presents a short review of existing e-learning gamification frameworks and the steps taken towards the identification of commonly used game elements. Learning activities and student engagement factors usually employed in e-learning platforms are subsequently discussed in relation to the development of the proposed conceptual engagement framework for gamified e-learning activities.

A língua radiofônica: ideias linguísticas na Era Vargas
Authors: Weber Andréa Franciéle
Published: November 2020

Na década de 1940, o rádio explodia no Brasil e, com ele, a controvérsia sobre a língua falada em seus microfones. Este artigo analisa o debate sobre a língua do rádio presente na revista Cultura Política: revista mensal de estudos brasileiros (1941-1945). O corpus foi constituído de 21 artigos e interpretado à luz da História das Ideias Linguísticas no Brasil e da Análise do Discurso. O estudo busca entender os significados projetados para as línguas (nacional e estrangeiras) e a tentativa estatal de organizar uma política linguística para o rádio. O discurso de Cultura Política contrapõe um Brasil real – multilíngue e variado – a um Brasil ideal – monolíngue e uniforme. O rádio difundia as línguas e a fala popular e precisava ser regulado pelo Estado em direção à língua nacional e culta.Palavras-chave: Discurso; Língua; Rádio.
Signos e sentidos em transporte: uma análise da entextualização do enunciado “Tipo menina” no vídeo da campanha publicitária #LikeAGirl, da Always
Authors: Silva Elayne Gonçalves , Gonçalves João Batista Costa , De Alencar Claudiana Nogueira
Published: November 2020

Este artigo objetiva realizar uma análise da entextualização do enunciado “Como uma menina” no vídeo da campanha publicitária #LikeAGirl (2014), com base nos conceitos de entextualização e de enunciado. Nesse vídeo, a expressão comparativa “Como uma menina”, que historicamente circula num discurso machista, foi transposta para um novo contexto, ligado ao discurso publicitário. Com o estudo, pudemos concluir que o enunciado “Como uma menina”, ao sofrer o processo de entextualização, satura-se de novas marcas contextuais, ganhando matizes semânticos distintos. Além disso, pudemos observar que alguns dos participantes do vídeo da campanha atribuíram valores negativos à expressão “Como uma menina”, expressando uma visão depreciativa sobre o desempenho de meninas e de mulheres em práticas esportivas; outros, por sua vez, deram valores positivos à expressão mencionada e buscaram ressignificá-la.Palavras-chave: Entextualização; Enunciado; #LikeAGirl.
Práticas de leitura de compreensão responsiva ativa e letramento crítico em livros didáticos de Língua Portuguesa do Ensino Médio
Authors: Gomes Rosivaldo
Published: November 2020

Neste texto, discutimos como a leitura é trabalhada em duas coleções de livros didáticos de língua portuguesa aprovados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático do Ensino Médio, edição 2015. O estudo fundamenta-se em discussões sobre modelos de leitura, na noção de leitura como atividade responsiva ativa e crítica a partir das teorizações bakhtinianas e dos estudos do letramento crítico. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa configura-se como documental, situada no campo da Linguística Aplicada e voltada para questões relativas ao ensino-aprendizagem de português como língua materna. O corpus foi gerado a partir de consultas às resenhas de duas coleções de livros didáticos, do mapeamento das concepções/modelos de leitura nas obras e de excertos de atividades de leitura. Os resultados mostram que, mesmo timidamente, os LDP analisados apresentam algumas atividades e questões de leitura que possibilitam trabalhar esse objeto como uma prática social que também se configura como um ato responsivo/responsável ativo-crítico, apesar de ser encontrado um número significativo de atividades centradas em aspectos cognitivos/metacognitivos.Palavras-chave: Leitura; Livro didático; Letramento crítico.

Estudo preliminar sobre competência tradutória e direcionalidade na tradução de uma revista institucional
Authors: Albuquerque Eliane Mariano de Oliveira de
Published: November 2020

Este artigo apresenta resultados preliminares de uma pesquisa sobre um grupo de professores que traduzem uma revista institucional do português para o inglês. Todavia, o processo de traduzir revelou-se complexo para os professores. Nosso trabalho possui dois objetivos: (1) identificar os principais problemas de tradução encontrados; e (2) investigar que subcompetências tradutórias precisam ser desenvolvidas no grupo de professores/tradutores. O suporte teórico-metodológico baseia-se nos Estudos de Tradução Baseados em Corpus e no modelo teórico de competência tradutória do grupo PACTE. A metodologia utilizada é análise do corpus dos textos-fonte e dos textos-alvo, além de entrevistas e questionário. Os resultados preliminares levam à hipótese de que os maiores problemas na tradução dos artigos se encontram nas diferenças morfossintáticas entre os dois idiomas, e no uso inadequado de tradução automática, o que aponta para a necessidade do desenvolvimento da subcompetência linguística e da subcompetência de conhecimentos de tradução.Palavras-chave: Competência tradutória; Direcionalidade; Problemas de tradução.
Biopolítica, racismo estrutural-algorítmico e subjetividade
Authors: Da Silva Mozart Linhares , Araújo Willian Fernandes
Published: November 2020

O artigo tem por objetivo problematizar, na perspectiva da biopolítica, o racismo algorítmico, como dimensão sociotécnica na qual se manifesta determinado ethos sociocultural implicado no racismo estrutural. Ao longo do texto, são analisados casos relacionados a técnicas algorítmicas, nas quais é possível observar a constituição de uma representação inferiorizada de sujeitos negros. Com o propósito de aprofundar a análise, também são realizadas pesquisas exploratórias com termos/descritores específicos. Os resultados apontam para o desenvolvimento de uma compreensão que posiciona a lógica algorítmica, que rege dispositivos computacionais de subjetivação, como um sistema que potencializa e dá materialidade à subjetividade emergente das dinâmicas do racismo estrutural-algorítmico.
De-coding the possibilities of spatial asssemblages: a design methodology of topologizing architectural morphology
Authors: Passia Yota , Roupas Panagiotis
Published: November 2020

While the continuous flow of events seems to be a given, we still cannot either perceive or design space which is organized and has the capacity to reorganize itself in order to cope with major changes. In this framework, the research aims to establish a codefor space, as a semantic system that monitors its sociospatial metabolism while at the same time being directly connected to its material reality. In this framework, the research attempts to establish a design methodologyaiming at a generative system for architecture and the city. The material agency of this productive process is described as a bifold process which constantly informs itself, including a "convergent phase of selection"and a "divergent phase of design" (Spuybroek 2008: 189). The first one focuses on the code's organization, introducing Christopher Alexander's 253 Design Patterns (Alexander et al. 1977) as its elementary units in order to postulate on its topological structure as a network of relations between interacting, active parts. In the next phase, while theorizing the code's structure, Design Patterns are substituted by their A-signifying signs counterparts, mechanisms able to stabilize or destabilize the assemblage and thus allow for its contingency to remain immanent.

One of the local challenges is the poor nutrition of its inhabitants, along with the high cost of healthier food. This paper presents the results of an urban gardening project, developed through the partnership of universities, communities and public institutions at the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. It represents university research and extension projects on building community gardens, aiming at the constitution of a social-economic innovative process to increase local social cohesion, popular protagonism and food sovereignty. Each garden that is part of the Community Gardening Project is facing particular challenges in relation to its social, environmental and economic sustainability, but the initiative is proving to be a significant alternative to humanize those spaces, systemically bringing together approaches as Systemic Design, Agroecology and Food Sovereignty and Solidarity Economy, Integral Endeavours and developing cooperative and innovative actions.

In the field of epidemiology, not only the disease and the carriers, but also the surrounding environment and the associated stresses play a vital role. Environmental stresses in a novel habitat may facilitate adaptive shifts. Organisms living under environmental stresses often experience higher mutation rates and display greater phenotypic and genetic variation. There is controversial evidence available in the literature about the impact of environmental stresses on the organisms and the resulting variation in mutation rates and the immune responses. In nature, “selection” and the high energetic costs of stress usually reduce this variation. The prior knowledge of the interaction between the stress and disease epidemics may help to control the disease spread at an early stage. A mathematical model of epidemiology, specifically focusing on the vector borne diseases, with environmental stress is reported in this paper. The model is validated with the aid of stability analysis. During this research, a set of parametric values is obtained using reverse engineering. For this purpose, the parametric evaluation is reported with the help of Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) reverse engineering. Among other factors, the environmental stresses are also responsible for different dynamics of the same disease, in different continents of the world. The proposed research methodology will help in forecasting the epidemiological problems such as the current threat of coronavirus.
HRV ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT POSTURES OF YOUNG HEALTHY WOMEN USING SIGNAL PROCESSING METHODS
Authors: Rawal Kirti , Sethi Gaurav
Published: November 2020

The variations in the intervals of successive heartbeats, i.e. between the two R peaks are known as Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV is used for identifying the physiological and pathological cardiac functioning of the heart. The characteristics of HRV are changing continuously in the various physical activities such as a change in postures from supine to standing. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to investigate the autonomic regulations of cardiac activity in the lying and standing postures. The HRV signals of 20 young healthy women were measured during supine and standing postures using BIOPAC[Formula: see text] MP150 system. The frequency-domain methods using the Autoregressive (AR) Model and nonlinear methods such as Sample Entropy (SampEn) and Approximate Entropy (ApEn) were used to calculate the posture-related differences in HRV. The Box and Whisker plots are used for representing the distribution of frequency-domain methods and nonlinear methods. Further, paired t-tests were used for validating the statistically significant values. It is concluded from the results that the heart rate is significantly higher and HRV is lower in the standing posture ([Formula: see text]) as compared to the supine posture. Lower HRV in the standing posture implies that sympathetic activities were higher and parasympathetic activities were lower in comparison to the supine postures.

Deep learning (DL), a part of machine learning (ML), comprises a contemporary technique for processing the images and analyzing the big data with promising outcomes. Deep learning methods are successfully being used in various sectors to gain better results. Agriculture sector is one of the sectors that could be benefitted from the deep learning techniques since the current agriculture techniques cannot keep up with the rapid growth in population. In this chapter, the recent trends in the applications of deep learning techniques in the agricultural sector and the survey of the research efforts that employ deep learning techniques are going to be discussed. Also, the models that are implemented are going to be analyzed and compared with the other existing models.

Published: November 2020

Energy for heating and cooling is among the biggest costs in greenhouse crop production. This has led to a rethink on energy-saving strategies, including the demand for solar energy as a viable renewable and sustainable choice for greenhouse farming. This chapter presents the development of a solar-powered system leveraging on internet of things and GSM technologies for sensing, controlling, and maintaining optimal climatic parameters inside a greenhouse. The proposed system is designed to automatically measure and monitor changes in temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and the light intensity. The strategy utilized in the design framework provides the user with the information of the measured parameters online and via SMS regardless of their geographical location. The chapter also incorporates a mechanism to self-regulate the climatic condition inside the greenhouse, suitable for the plant growth. Such a system can help improve the quantity and quality of crops grown in a greenhouse. Tests carried out on the system prove its effectiveness according to the design considerations.
Double Jeopardy
Authors: Choguya Naume Zorodzai
Published: November 2020

Motivated by the thinness of gender-disaggregated literature on women and disability, the author discusses the position and condition of such women in Zimbabwe. Literature shows that women with disabilities experience double discrimination as women and as disabled persons. The author argues that women are marginalised from access to resources they need for their upkeep, personal security, and further human advancement. Furthermore, disability feeds on the already existing inequalities in society to produce heightened exclusion for them. Women face physical, attitudinal, and environmental barriers; live in poverty; and lack opportunities for gaining an education, finding employment, forming meaningful social ties, and participating meaningfully in their families and communities. This chapter makes calls for committed efforts towards a transition to an inclusive society, one that includes persons with disabilities in every facet of life.
The Dynamics of Inclusivity in Teaching and Assessing Mathematics for Lower Grade Learners
Authors: Long Caroline , Nyoni Phefumula N.
Published: November 2020

The chapter explores the diverse interpretations related to the learning of mathematics for learners at lower grade levels. At the core of understanding the dynamics of teaching and assessment of mathematics tasks for lower grade learners lie the general perceptions on the subject and how these have shaped educator and learner approaches to the subject as well as associated nuances of cognitive development. The chapter also explores how educators deal with inclusivity in the context of the curriculum and cognitive capabilities of learners in teaching and assessment. Different interpretations to assessments are also explored. A different approach to assessment that locates learners on a continuum of current proficiency is advocated. A flexible teaching philosophy is proposed which rather than cut the class into a pass/fail dichotomy, acknowledges each learner's right to progress in particular through the use of targeted teaching for challenged learners.
Dynamics of Disability for South African University Students in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Authors: Nyoni Phefumula N.
Published: November 2020

This chapter focuses on the relational nature of disability especially with respect to experiences of disabled students with access to assistive technologies particularly within the context of the fourth IR. The chapter presents a background on various interpretations relating to disability and implications to identities within an academic context. The chapter also highlights the various experiences by students in diverse university spaces. Using informal interviews and observations, the chapter explores the nature of the identities of disability, how individuals negotiate the experiences in the diverse spaces of interaction with other beings or technology. Focus is also on relations created as disabled students interact with non-disabled students and lecturers in diverse situations. Conceptually, the chapter draws from the social model on disability in which disability is viewed as a socially constructed phenomenon. In addition, Foucauldian analysis of disability is used to explore notions of how disabled students experience power as thy deal with day to day academic obligations.
Biopreservatives for Improved Shelf-Life and Safety of Dairy Products
Authors: Singh Tejinder Pal , Pophaly Sarang Dilip , Siwach Ruby
Published: November 2020

Globally, there is an increasing demand for minimally processed, easily prepared, and ready-to-eat fresh food, globalization of food trade, and distribution from centralized processing which pose major challenges for food safety and quality because perishable food may get contaminated with undesirable microorganisms. Food spoilage adversely affects the economy and also erodes the consumer's confidence. On other hand, food-borne illness leads to loss of earnings and productivity, unemployment and litigation, and weakens trade and tourism. Another challenge for the food producers is to produce less stable foods by processes that confer less harm to the detrimental microflora. A challenge for food producers is to develop products with a sufficiently longer shelf-life and at a competitive price. This brings them to the most promising approach to this end, the so-called biopreservation. This chapter provides a scientific background, functionality, as well as food applications and further commercial aspects of biopreservatives derived from microbial sources.
