Abstract The current scenario generated by the Covid-19 pandemic enhances the condition of food and nutrition insecurity due to the worsening of poverty, hunger and lack of access to food, as well as the excess consumption of foods considered unhealthy. The effects of the pandemic enhances the need for a new way of arranging the production, distribution and consumption of food, giving new meaning to the relationship between food, eating and the environment. Thus, it is suggested that a reflection be made on the strategies for the appropriate healthy, adequate and sustainable diet in Brazil to face this health emergency. Actions must be focused on the articulation of strategies that foster sovereignty, food and nutrition security and healthier and more sustainable food systems such as the strengthening of family farming; income assurance for the population; access to quality food; changes in the food environment; dissemination of information on healthy and sustainable food in official recommendations for the pandemic and food guides covering the entire food system, as well as food and nutrition education practices.
Parlamentares no presidencialismo de coalizão: poder decisório na formulação de benefícios tributários
Authors: Moreira Davi Cordeiro
Published: October 2020

RESUMO Introdução: Analisamos os padrões de atuação dos parlamentares brasileiros responsáveis pela concessão de benefícios tributários referentes ao Programa de integração Social (PIS), à Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social (COFINS) e à Contribuição Social sobre Lucro Líquido (CSLL) durante os governos de Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-2002) e de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010). Considerando que sua implementação desperta fortes incentivos pessoais aos políticos, uma vez que interessa a setores econômicos que almejam redução de carga tributária, nos perguntamos: dada a divisão de poderes que caracteriza o presidencialismo de coalizão brasileiro, onde reside o poder decisório na formulação dessa política pública? Materiais e métodos: Os dispositivos legais que concedem e delimitam o acesso aos benefícios tributários referentes ao PIS, à COFINS e à CSLL foram adotados como principal unidade de análise do conteúdo legislativo. Sua contabilização foi utilizada para identificar onde foi produzido o conteúdo legal posteriormente aprovado. Resultados: A formulação da política de concessão de benefícios tributários referentes ao PIS, à COFINS e à CSLL está submetida à agenda da coalizão governista, que anula anseios individuais dos parlamentares através do uso estratégico das regras do processo decisório. Além disso, a supressão da influência individual dos parlamentares não anula sua participação na formulação dessa política pública. Através das lideranças partidárias, o Legislativo atua de forma propositiva sobre seu conteúdo e, não raramente, supera o poder Executivo em sua criação. Discussão: Há duas principais contribuições à literatura sobre o tema. Primeiro, a análise da formulação da política pública traz à luz a participação propositiva e assídua do Poder Legislativo no conteúdo aprovado. É justamente na janela de oportunidade aberta pela dominância legislativa do poder Executivo federal que os parlamentares brasileiros têm a oportunidade de colaborar na elaboração do conteúdo das políticas públicas. Segundo, as conclusões empíricas deixam de lado a hipótese de que a formulação da política de benefícios tributários seja um alicerce do possível quid pro quo existente entre políticos e grupos de interesse. Se a análise pode apontar para um padrão de como se concretiza a relação entre Estado e grupos de interesse no Brasil, ao invés de ser individualmente concretizada, a pesquisa indica que essa relação é construída partidariamente. Logo, se há algum tipo de conexão eleitoral ou de quid pro quo, nossa aposta é de que esta deve ser pensada em termos partidários e não estritamente pessoais.
Interfaces das interfaces socioestatais: ouvidorias, conselhos gestores e Facebooks governamentais
Authors: Lüchmann Lígia Helena Hahn
Published: October 2020

RESUMO Introdução: O trabalho visa analisar a ocorrência de articulações entre três diferentes modalidades de interfaces entre Estado e sociedade: ouvidorias, conselhos gestores e Facebooks governamentais. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo privilegiou o mapeamento dessas interfaces em três diferentes áreas de políticas públicas: saúde, assistência social e meio ambiente e em dois níveis de governo (Governo do Estado de Santa Catarina e Prefeitura Municipal de Florianópolis). A partir de um mapeamento geral das interfaces identificadas nas respectivas páginas das Secretarias de Governo, a pesquisa contou com a análise de documentos, realização de entrevistas, levantamento de registros em Atas de conselhos e postagens nos Facebooks governamentais. Resultados: Tomando como base analítica dimensões como atribuições, competências, desenho institucional, área de políticas públicas e atuação de atores políticos, burocráticos e sociais, a pesquisa identificou diferenças importantes na maior ou menor capacidade de diálogo e interlocução entre as três modalidades de interface socioestatal, com destaque positivo para os conselhos nas áreas da saúde e assistência social. Discussão: A pesquisa apresenta um avanço nos estudos sobre as interfaces socioestatais, alargando, para além das instituições participativas, as modalidades de participação da sociedade junto às agências governamentais. Apesar do escopo limitado do estudo, em especial quando se considera a complexidade e a variedade de programas e dispositivos participativos no âmbito das agências e estruturas governamentais e as especificidades locais e regionais, o artigo reforça a importância de se ampliar, de forma relacional, o entendimento desse fenômeno.

Published: October 2020

Resumo Exame do processo de acumulação de capacidades tecnológicas para inovação e do papel dos processos subjacentes de aprendizagem tecnológica no contexto dos projetos Reparo de Metralhadora Automatizado X (REMAX) e Torre Operada Remotamente e Estabilizada para Canhão 30mm (TORC30) do Exército Brasileiro (EB), durante o período de 1999 a 2016. Baseando-se em evidências empíricas primárias e secundárias, em uma escala que identifica níveis de capacidades tecnológicas e em um modelo de processos de aprendizagem tecnológica, identificou-se durante o período estudado a evolução do nível de capacidades tecnológicas de básico para avançado. Essas capacidades tecnológicas se refletiram em atividades inovadoras: prototipagem, design e pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D). Elas foram acumuladas por meio de esforços deliberados e eficazes em mecanismos de aprendizagem utilizados, de forma cíclica, em quatro etapas cumulativas: (i) preparação, (ii) aquisição de conhecimento externo, (iii) assimilação de conhecimento adquirido externamente e criação de conhecimento internamente e (iv) aplicação em atividades inovadoras. Portanto o estudo explora, do ponto de vista micro, a natureza e a dinâmica do processo de aprendizagem subjacente à acumulação de capacidades para inovação em uma indústria raramente estudada dessa perspectiva, particularmente no contexto brasileiro. A indústria de defesa possui um papel importante no desenvolvimento dos países. As inovações tecnológicas implementadas no âmbito desta indústria geram demandas importantes, tais como profissionais qualificados e atividades científicas e tecnológicas de diversos componentes do sistema de produção e de inovação em nível nacional, também oferecem grande potencial de aplicações múltiplas em outras indústrias, assim como na sociedade como um todo.
Ódio e intolerância nas redes sociais digitais
Authors: Quadrado Jaqueline Carvalho , Ferreira Ewerton da Silva
Published: October 2020

Resumo O artigo objetiva discutir os discursos de ódio e intolerância nas redes sociais digitais, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, ancorada na teoria social crítica. Toma a Internet como lócus dos discursos e questiona: em que medida o ódio e a intolerância nas redes sociais digitais se constituem um risco frente ao estado democrático de direito? Compreende-se que a Internet é um espaço do contraditório, e isso tem muito a ver com o funcionamento dos mecanismos de seleção de dados e informação utilizados por plataformas como o Google ou o Facebook. Evidencia-se que o uso intensivo das redes sociais digitais está contribuindo para a formação de perfis marcados pela intolerância e pelo radicalismo. A análise demostra que as redes sociais digitais se constituem uma ameaça frente ao estado democrático de direito.

CORPO, POLÍTICA, EDUCAÇÃO DO OLHAR: IMAGENS FASCISTAS EM LENI RIEFENSTAHL
Authors: Vaz Alexandre Fernandez
Published: October 2020

RESUMO O trabalho analisa aspectos de dois documentários dirigidos por Leni Riefenstahl nos anos 1930, com ênfase na presença do corpo como natureza. Triunfo da vontade, sobre o congresso do Partido Nacional-Socialista em 1934, em Nuremberg, e Olympia, que se ocupa dos Jogos Olímpicos de 1936, em Berlim, são vistos como dispositivos pedagógicos a destacar a pureza corporal oriunda do vínculo consanguíneo, uma entre várias possibilidades de formar uma comunidade fascista. Isso se dá pela estetização da política e pela circunscrição do corpo e sua imagem à pura natureza.
Development of inter-particle friction in a railway ballast
Authors: Wong C. P. Y. , Coop M. R.
Published: October 2020

A detailed experimental programme investigated how the coefficient of friction at particle contacts for a typical UK railway ballast varied during cyclic loading. Despite a decrease of roughness, the friction coefficient increased steadily, stabilising in the region of tens of cycles. In contrast to previous work on the contact behaviour of sands, water inundation caused a significant but reversible decrease of the coefficient, while the generation of a significant amount of abraded fines did not affect it, nor did the load level.
Introduction: Contradictions of ICT
Authors: Healy Mike
Published: October 2020

This first chapter sets out the contradictory way in which Information Communication Technology (ICT) habitually fails to deliver on its promises despite its ability to enrich our lives. Author Mike Healy sets up two main contradictory views of on the theory of alienation. Marx’s understanding is that alienation derives directly from capitalism, whilst Seeman’s approach locates alienation as a specific instance, describing it as an abnormal response to life’s pressures. This chapter sets out the ethical and societal implications of the ICT industry, and inconsistences. The book’s overall plan is to address one simple question: what feeds the central contradiction where people experience ICT in a profoundly contradictory way? The book will argue that approaches such as a call for better technology, more effective end-user education, and greater regulation of the digital sphere, are inherently limited solutions.
Theories of Alienation – Seeman and Marx
Authors: Healy Mike
Published: October 2020

This chapter examines in detail the two contrasting approaches to alienation of Seeman and Marx detailing how key concepts of Marx’s theory of humanity affects his understanding of alienation. After discussing Seeman’s more routinely-favoured perspective the chapter outlines three problems with such alternative theories of alienation: first, the shadow of Marx and the political implications of his broad view; secondly, the difficulty in undertaking measurable, quantifiable work that is demanded by dominant positivist frameworks; and lastly the problem of the vague nature of the term alienation, that it is frequently synonymised with vague feelings of unease or dissatisfaction. The relation of alienation to reification is also discussed as well as the approaches of Blauner, Wendling and autonomist Marxism. The author concludes that it is feasible to research alienation using Marx’s categories and approach to social analysis because they offer greater penetrating explanatory power than other viewpoints.
Researching Alienation
Authors: Healy Mike
Published: October 2020

In this chapter, the author outlines a way to research Marx’s approach to alienation that moves beyond polemics. In doing so, he describes his chosen method of collecting, analysing and presenting data setting out the rationale for his chosen methodology, critical realism (CR), underpinned with participatory action research (PAR). The chapter also provides a description of the organisations of the book’s three research settings, whilst also detailing the processes involved in obtaining the appropriate data. The research aimed to ask whether Marx’s approach can explain lived alienated experiences of groups in three distinct settings: ICT professionals, academics researching the ethical implications of ICT, and senior end-users. The author determines that several of his findings and secondary literature have informed his rejection of a positivist approach.
Resident Experience Associated with Lung Biopsy Outcomes: A Cross-Sectional Study of Diagnostic Radiology Residents. Does the Level of Training Matter?
Authors: Schmanke Ken , Zackula Rosalee , Unruh Zachary , Burdiek Wesley , Trent Jesse , Ali Kamran
Published: October 2020

Introduction. Efficient execution of image-guided percutaneous biopsy is a procedural competency milestone in radiology training. Despite the importance of achieving such mastery, literature on successful execution by residents is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate resident performance as measured by nondiagnostic biopsy and major complication percentages, on CT-guided transthoracic core needle biopsies (TTNB) of lung and mediastinal lesions.

Methods. A 12-year retrospective cohort study was conducted using charts from an academic hospital, 2006 - 2018, to evaluate TTNBs. Inclusion criteria were ≥ 18 years of age and ≥ 1 follow-up CT scan and chest x-ray. Bivariable associations by outcome(s) were evaluated.

Results. Of 1,191 biopsies conducted, case distribution was 41%, 26%, 18%, and 15% for postgraduate years (PGY) 2 - 5, respectively. Results from biopsies were 139 (11.7%) nondiagnostic, 218 (18.3%) benign, and 834 (70.0%) malignant cases. Resident year by nondiagnostic outcome was not significant; p = 0.430. There were 148 major complications. Complication rate by PGY 2 - 5 was 13.0%, 13.3%, 12.9%, and 9.2%, respectively; differences were not significant, p = 0.488. Of the 139 nondiagnostic cases, 42 were re-biopsied during the study period with 81% re-classified as malignant; no repeat biopsy was observed for the remaining 97 nondiagnostic cases.Conclusion. Of 1,191 lung/mediastinal biopsies analyzed, nearly 12% were nondiagnostic and over 12% had major complications; neither associated with resident level of experience. Outcomes were not affected significantly by level of training. Residency programs may benefit from affording opportunities for newer PGY classes to participate in procedures. Nondiagnostic cases may benefit from timely, repeat biopsies.
Infecções sexualmente transmissíveis na população carcerária de Alfenas-MG: estudo de prevalência e intervenção educacional
Authors: Tomazela Victor Hugo , Clemente Rafael , De Paula Sara Reis , De Carvalho Luisa Patrícia Fogarolli
Published: October 2020

INTRODUÇÃO: As Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST’s) são transmitidas principalmente pelo sexo sem proteção e pelo compartilhamento de perfurocortantes. É tema delicado quando tratado no contexto dos presídios e das Associações de Proteção e Assistência ao Condenado (APAC’s). OBJETIVOS: O objetivo geral foi analisar as relações entre: o encarcerado, seu conhecimento acerca das IST’s e sua condição de vulnerabilidade. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e de intervenção educacional. Na análise dos prontuários foram pesquisadas as sorologias (FTAabs IgG, HbsAg, Anti-HCV e Anti-HIV). O estudo de intervenção foi realizado em 3 etapas: 1ª- questionário pré-teste; 2ª- aula expositiva; e 3ª- questionário pós-teste. RESULTADOS: Dos 151 prontuários, identificaram-se 3 pessoas HIV positivo, 4 HCV positivo e 8 FTAabs IgG positivo. Na APAC, foi identificado 1 FTAabs IgG positivo. Dos 58 recuperandos da APAC, 34,5% não acessaram o ensino médio e 37,5% utilizam preservativos sempre. No pré-teste, a maioria assinalou que a transmissão das IST’s se dava pelo compartilhamento de perfurocortantes e pelo sexo desprotegido. No pós-teste notamos ganho de conhecimento na maioria das questões. CONCLUSÃO: Concluindo, a literatura e nossos resultados mostraram maior prevalência de IST’s nos presídios. Ademais, nota-se que a baixa escolaridade está relacionada às práticas de risco. Além disso, o compartilhamento de apetrechos para o uso de drogas, realização de tatuagens e o sexo sem condom é considerável. Também foram observadas outros contratempos contribuintes para a alta prevalência de IST’s. Por fim, é necessário aumentar os investimentos em politicas públicas voltadas à saúde da população carcerária.
INFRASTRUCTURE POTENTIAL OF RUSSIAN REGIONS AS A FACTOR OF SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Plisetsky E.L. , Plisetsky E.E. ,   National Research University Higher School of Economics
Published: October 2020

The purpose of the study is to develop a methodological approach to assess the infrastructure potential of the territory as a tool for monitoring the effectiveness of the implementation of the state regional policy in the field of infrastructure development. The algorithm for comparative assessment of the infrastructure potential of regions is substantiated in the article. The authors believe that a regular assessment of the level of infrastructure development (infrastructure capacity) of macro-regions and regions – subjects of the Russian Federation, along with the monitoring of the achievement of the targets established, should be provided within the framework of implementation approved at the Federal and regional levels, of programmes and plans for infrastructure development. The proposed method of cost estimation of the region’s infrastructure potential is based on the use of an integral indicator of the territory’s fund saturation, taking into account the qualitative characteristics of the state of fixed assets. The study revealed a significant spatial differentiation of Russian regions in terms of infrastructure potential that helped to group them by the level of its development. The difference between the maximum and minimum values of the infrastructure potential assessment (even without taking into account the federal cities) exceeds 730 times. The cities of federal significance – Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sevastopol, as well as the republics of Crimea and Tatarstan, Krasnodar, Moscow and Kaliningrad regions have the maximum infrastructure potential. The infrastructure potential is evenly decreasing to the East and North of the country. The republics of Tyva, Sakha (Yakutia), Magadan region, and the Chukotka Autonomous Region have the lowest indicators of territory’s fund saturation and correspondingly low level of infrastructure potential development. More than a quarter of all Russian regions have a lower level of infrastructure development than the national average. Based on the correlation analysis, it was found that the size of the territory’s infrastructure potential has a direct positive impact on the inflow of investments to the regions and the growth of GRP, and therefore is one of the important factors of economic growth and increasing the competitiveness of the regional economy. The results obtained within the study can be applied in the practice of managing the development of territories when forecasting and developing strategies of the socioeconomic development of new macro-regions of Russia, and also used for monitoring the state policy of infrastructure development.

Anamnesis: A 5-year-old mixed breed entire bitch was presented with bloody vaginal discharge and abdominal distension. Clinical and laboratory findings: Physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography suggested the presence of a left ovarian tumor. At histopathological examination it was diagnosed as granulosa cell tumor. Treatment approach: An exploratory laparotomy was performed followed by ovariohysterectomy to remove the intra-abdominal mass. Conclusion: The clinical, ultrasonographic and histologic signs in this case support other literature reports. Ultrasonography, in combination with histopathologic analysis is a fundamental tool for detection of ovarian tumors, especially tumors of the granulosa cells.
Stem and leaf structure of Searsia erosa (Thunb.) Moffett (Anacardiaceae) with systematic, ecological and ethnobotanical implications

The anatomy of stems and leaves of the southern African evergreen shrub Searsia erosa (Anacardiaceae) was studied. This species shows the suite of typical traits of Anacardiaceae, such as the presence of secretory canals in the cortex, secondary phloem, wood rays and vascular bundle of leaf midrib, pericyclic fibres in nearly continuous bands, compound sieve plates on oblique walls, simple perforation plates, alternate intervessel pitting, and septate libriform fibres. Like other Searsia species, S. erosa has abundant sclereids in non-conducting secondary phloem, multicellular peltate glandular trichomes on leaf epidermis, short vessel elements and minute intervessel pits; two latter characters are thought to be diagnostic for this genus. Unlike Asian species of Searsia, S. erosa lacks marginal axial parenchyma as well as prismatic crystals in axial parenchyma and in libriform fibres, but it shows the helical thickenings on vessel walls. The presence of the last trait in a southern African species agrees with association of helical thickenings with the regions that experience water stress. The tangential expansion of secondary phloem in S. erosa and probably in other Searsia species is mainly performed by considerable increase in volume of its cells by their sclerification. Such a way of bark growth in girth is out of scope of bark anatomists. Searsia erosa is distinctive from other congeneric species in its hypostomatous leaves with abundant glandular trichomes on adaxial side. This condition demonstrates a labor division between the adaxial side with glandular trichomes that may contribute to leaf protection, and the stomata-bearing abaxial side providing the gas exchange. Unlike most members of Anacardiaceae, the secretory canals of S. erosa produce the oleoresin containing terpenoids (essential oils) and lipids, but lack polysaccharides. The abundance of glandular trichomes and secretory canals producing terpenoids is a presumable reason of the use of S. erosa in traditional medicine by the Basotho people.

The article is the second analytical review about foreign empirical models of intercultural competence and psychodiagnostic methods developed on their basis, which have been tested for reliability and validity in foreign psychology. Here the analysis is presented of five approaches to intercultural competence and the results of its research. This article also describes the structure of subject-oriented, i.e. focused dominantly on the assessment of intercultural traits, or intercultural relations and worldviews, or intercultural possibilities, and mixed models, i.e. combined character traits, worldviews and possibilities. It is emphasized that the complexity of mixed models makes it possible to consider individual components of cross-cultural competence not as independent predictors of the effectiveness of cross-cultural efficiency, but in their relationship. This raises the question of the ratio of these components, their mutual conditionality and impact on each other and on intercultural competence in general, which has not yet been properly answered in science and whose resolution represents a promising direction for future research in this area.
Exploring the Path of Suicide for the Poor in the City: Based on deprivation experience
Authors: Choi Myungmin
Published: October 2020

This study was conducted to reveal how city poors’ lives resulted in suicide by retrospective exploration of the lives of eight poor suicides in one local city on the basis of the critical awareness that suicide in our country is related to economic structure. For this purpose, the contents of intensive interviews with family, neighbors, documents and texts of deceased persons were analyzed qualitatively based on the grounded theory. As a result, the eight deceased people had different human composition, but their lives began in common with experience various social deprivation while growing up in poor families and thus had already formed a state of internal and external vulnerability before adulthood. However, it was found that there were temporary achievements and improvements in personal efforts to overcome the problem situation. Despite the hard-won changes, they failed to cross the barriers of a vicious cycle of structural limitations and social deprivation, and their problems worsened again and their frustrations repeated, eventually pushing them to the end of life without brakes. And once again, when exposed to incidents that add to the suicide crisis, it was found to have committed suicide as a final attempt to escape the frustration and pain of accumulating deprivation experience. Based on this, the suicide path of the urban poor was formed in connection with direct and indirect problems at the social structure level. Finally, the main points were examined and multi-dimensional suggestions were made to prevent suicide of the urban poor and to strengthen their resilience.

Numerical Simulation of Water as Base Fluid Dispersed by Al2O3 Aluminum Oxide Nano-Sized Solid Particles with Various Concentrations
Authors: Zidani Chafika , Maouedj Rachid , Salmi Mohamed
Published: October 2020

Curves of pressure, lines of current, speed of fluid, fields and diagrams of kinetic energy, and plots of viscosity through a H2O/Al2O3 nanofluid-heat exchanger with recirculation promoters are studied by using a computational approach and a two-dimensional algorithm. The simulation used four nanofluid fractions, i.e. ϕ = 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 percent, with four flow rates, i.e. Re = 5, 10, 15 and 20 (× 103). Both the discontinuous-type deflectors and the detached-model bars are considered to reinforce the nanofluid field structure. The discontinuous-situation of these deflectors allows reducing the pressure on its front-corner by passing the fluid between their internal surfaces. In addition, the field is detached from the front-sharp-edge, forcing the creation of recycling-rings on their back-areas. While, the presence of the detached-bar model in both the top and the lower stations of the exchanger allows an improvement in the flow disturbance across the gaps through their interior-surfaces, and the formation of new recycling-cells near their right-sides. These vortices constitute opposite-currents where their strength increases with increasing nanofluid concentration and Reynolds values.
Design of Traveling Wave Location Method for Transmission Line Fault Based on EMD-TEO
Authors: Xia Juan
Published: October 2020

With the rapid development of the social economy and the continuous extension of Internet technology, China’s power grid has entered the ranks of large-scale, high-voltage, and intelligent. The main purpose of the fault location of the transmission line is to eliminate hidden trouble and restore the fault line in time to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system. With the advent of the smart grid, higher requirements are put forward for fault location accuracy, while the traditional wavelet transform and Hilbert-Huang transform have larger defects.

Therefore, this paper extensively analyses the generation and characteristics of fault traveling waves in transmission line fault, which proves that the traveling wave location method has higher location accuracy than the fault analysis method. Among them, the two-terminal traveling wave positioning method only uses the arrival time of the initial traveling wave, avoiding the principled defects and locating the dead zone of the single-terminal traveling wave positioning method, so the two-terminal traveling wave positioning method is generally used. The key of the two-terminal traveling wave location method is that it can accurately detect the arrival time of the initial traveling wave head. Although the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) method can be used to detect the arrival time of the initial traveling wave head, the problem of inaccurate detection or failure of the wave head may arise when the instantaneous frequency of the IMF component decomposed by the Hilbert-Huang transform is used because of the mode aliasing in the empirical mode decomposition algorithm. Based on the above analysis, an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) combined with the Teager energy operator(TEO) is proposed for the traveling wave fault location of transmission lines. A large number of simulations prove that the EMD-TEO method in this paper can solve the problem of inaccuracy or failure of the HHT method using instantaneous frequency to detect the arrival time of wave head, and has higher fault location accuracy.

Published: October 2020

Relevant studies have pointed out that public has paid highly attention on the accuracy of neural network algorithm as it is widely applied in recent years. According to the present practice, it is quite difficult to collect related data when applying neural network algorithm. Besides, problems of trifles and complication exists in data image labeling process, which leads to a bad impact on the recognition accuracy of targets. In this article, analyzes are conducted on the relevant data from the perspective of data image processing with neural network algorithm as the core of this work. Besides, corresponding data augmentation technology is also put forward. Generally speaking, this technology has effectively realized the simulation under different shooting and lighting conditions by flipping, transforming and changing the pixel positions of the related original images, which contributes to the expansion of database types and promotes the robustness of detection work.
Судьбы православных женщин в Советской России в 1920–1930-е годы в условиях политических репрессий
Authors: Пигорева Ольга Владимировна
Published: October 2020

Представлены результаты изучения судеб трех пострадавших в период политических репрессий православных женщин, реализованных в типичных для традиционной модели женского поведения ролях: жена священника и многодетная мать; верующая православная мирянка; монахиня. Судьбы Хионии Архангельской, Татьяны Гримблит, Александры (Червяковой) вписаны в исторический контекст первых двух десятилетий советской эпохи, когда социальные перспективы для верующих женщин были закрыты. На примере анализа биографий и индивидуальных поведенческих характеристик показано, что в условиях гонений на Церковь они сохранили гендерную идентичность в выражении своих религиозных взглядов, продолжив присущее русской традиции понимание женщины как символа нравственного идеала. Обсуждается важность формирования исторического нарратива в гендерных исследованиях,посвященных сложному для отечественной истории периоду репрессий, и становлению женского дискурса в контексте историко-гендерной проблематики как самостоятельного направления.
Illustrated translations longing for the Middle Ages, exemplified by modern french versions of Aucassin et Nicolette

The relations between the verbal component, the visual component, and the translational aspect of a given text have been discussed and described by translation scholars and semioticians in a diversity of manners. A significant graphic element may be introduced during the translation production, usually in dialogue with the verbal one, thus creating a new intersemiotic text. Medieval manuscripts are known for offering their readers illustrations, miniatures, rubrics, decorated initials, colored and gilded details, and other visual ingredients. As a result, the codex functions as an essential interpretive agent rather than a passive container for verbal texts. This model of the intricate illuminated manuscript was imported into modern culture systems through transfer. However, in reality, most manuscripts exhibit simple decorative schemes or are plain and unadorned, which means that ornaments in their current versions most likely derive from the model mentioned above. The paper looks at the productivity of this medieval model by examining various visual components inserted into the printed modern French translations based on the unmistakably plain manuscript of the thirteenth-century work Aucassin et Nicolette. The analysis will focus on the illustrated translations, addressing the added elements and their characteristics, their relation to the model, the increased determinacy they create, and the resulting reading they seem to encourage. We will suggest that even the narration levels and the performative aspect of the text may be affected by the new, intersemiotic nature bestowed upon this ancient text through the integration of other modalities into its translations.
A Study of Influence of the Machining Accuracy on Reliability of Cycloidal Gears
Authors: Sinitsyna Y.V.
Published: October 2020

Cycloidal gears are widely used in modern robotics, aircraft industry and other industries due to their compactness, high load bearing capacity, rigidity and accuracy. This paper examines a method for calculating stresses at the points of contact of the satellite gear and the pins taking into account manufacturing errors. Based on the Monte Carlo method, the probability of failure-free operation of the cycloid gear is determined by the criterion of contact endurance, taking into account the randomness of deviations of gear sizes from the nominal ones. Graphs showing the relationships between the probability of failure-free operation for a fixed period of time and the torque are presented. It is established that a 2kv gear has a higher reliability compared to the gear manufactured using the khv scheme. Based on the analysis of sensitivity of the failure-free operation probability to manufacturing errors, it is concluded that the positional error of the pin hole has the maximum effect on the gear performance.

Background: the use of a cotraception tool is a shared responsibility between husband and wife. The results of the study showed that 65% of women wanted the role of a larger husband in the selection of contraceptive devices. An implant contraceptive is one of the contraceptives in the form of implants made of a kind of silatic rubber which contains hormones attached to the upper arm. Support and attitude of a person regarding implants will cause action on the use of implants. Objective: To determine the relationship of the role of the husband and the attitude of the mother to the use of implant contraception in family planning acceptors at Bhayangkara Makassar Hospital in 2015. Methods: The type of research was descriptive analytic. The population in this study were all mothers who used implant contraception in the family planning room of Bhayangkara Hospital in Makassar as many as 184 people. Sampling with accidental sampling technique amounted to 65 samples. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square Statistical Test with p-Value 0.05). Results: There is a relationship between the role of husband and implant contraceptive use (P-Value = 0.036 0.05), there is a relationship between maternal attitudes and implant contraceptive use (P-Value = 0.002 0.05). Conclusion: the role of the husband and the mother's attitude are related to the use of implant contraception.Keywords: husband's role, mother's attitude, implant contraception

Reflexiones sobre la destrucción de la memoria
Authors: Bonti Agustina , Lijtenstein Camila
Published: October 2020

Las guerras y los conflictos bélicos significaron, a lo largo de toda la historia de la humanidad, una amenaza contra el patrimonio cultural. El impacto de estos ataques violentos e intencionados, determinó la destrucción de monumentos y edificios históricos hasta arrasar con ciudades enteras. Sin embargo, esta destrucción no implicó únicamente un daño material, sino también una agresión moral entendida en su carácter simbólico. Es decir, el daño contra la arquitectura se transformó en la herramienta por excelencia para debilitar una cultura, agrediendo los íconos que hacen a su identidad y a su memoria colectiva. Lo que aquí se busca exponer es la destrucción del patrimonio específicamente durante los siglos XX y XXI. Se tomará como punto de partida la Segunda Guerra Mundial por las atroces consecuencias generadas en las ciudades europeas. A partir de este contexto histórico se identificarán las diferentes estrategias utilizadas en algunas ciudades en lo que respecta a los procesos de reconfiguración urbana. Finalmente, demostraremos cómo este fenómeno, la guerra contra la arquitectura trascendió hasta la contemporaneidad, materializado en el siglo XXI con la destrucción terrorista de las Torres Gemelas de Nueva York.

Exposure to adverse events during childhood and adolescence is associated with problematic outcomes across the life span, including the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A growing body of research examining the effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in treating PTSD among young people has yielded mixed findings. More work is needed that elucidates whether EMDR is linked to positive and sustained reductions in symptoms among youth who experience potentially traumatic events. For this open trial, we analyzed data from 143 youth (Mage= 12.9, standard deviation [SD] = 3.4, Range = 6–18) who received outpatient behavioral health clinic services, including EMDR. We assessed whether the number of types of exposure to family-related and non-family-related traumatic events, as well as differences in severity of PTSD symptomatology, was associated with changes in internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors from intake to 6 months. Results indicated that youth with (a) fewer exposures to non-family-related potentially traumatic events and (b) more severe PTSD symptoms, showed greater improvements in externalizing problem behaviors. We discuss limitations of the present study and implications for future research.

Background and Purpose

Assessing factors related to nurses' job satisfaction may help to address nursing shortages and high turnover rates. Job satisfaction is complicated and may be related to several issues, including trait emotional intelligence. This study examined the reliability and validity of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) in a sample of nurses working in the United Arab Emirates, and tested its ability to predict job satisfaction.

Methods

The TEIQue-SF was tested against its original long form and as a predictor of the Nurse Satisfaction Scale.

Results

The TEIQue-SF showed acceptable reliability at factor and global levels and a medium positive correlation with job satisfaction.

Conclusion

The TEIQue-SF showed acceptable validity and reliability.
