Authors: Samoilenko G.Ye. , Kolesnik A.I. , Syniachenko O.V. , Andreiev O.V.
Published: December 2018

Актуальність. Тяжкість опікової травми відображає ступінь судинних ушкоджень із паравазальними змінами, розвитком порушень функції ендотеліоцитів судин й еритроцитарно-тромбоцитарної ланки реологічних властивостей крові. Мета дослідження: вивчити клініко-патогенетичну значущість ендотеліальної дисфункції судин та реологічних властивостей сироватки крові при опіковій травмі. Матеріали та методи. Під наглядом перебували 117 потерпілих від опікової травми, серед яких було 83 % чоловіків і 17 % жінок віком від 14 до 79 років (в середньому — 44 роки). Термін обстеження після отримання опікової травми становив до 7 діб (в середньому — 2 доби). Показники ендотеліальної функції судин досліджували імуноферментним методом, а реологію крові — фізико-хімічним методом форми вісесиметричних крапель. Результати. У хворих з опіковою травмою показники судинного ендотеліального чинника зростання (VEGF) становили 465,0 ± 10,9 пг/мл, ендотеліну-1 (ET1) — 5,0 ± 0,2 пг/мл, тромбоксану A2 (TxA2) — 12,0 ± 0,9 нг/мл, простацикліну (PgI2) — 44,0 ± 4,2 нг/мл, поверхневої в’язкості (SV) — 14,00 ± 0,23 мН/м, пружності — 43,0 ± 0,6 мН/м, модуля в’язкоеластичності — 24,0 ± 0,8 мН/м, сурфактантного індексу — 48,0 ± 0,8 в.о. Порівняно з конт-рольною групою умовно здорових осіб опіки супроводжуються підвищенням вмісту VEGF у 5,2 раза, ET1 — на 28 %, TxA2 — на 69 % при зменшенні рівня PgI2 на 35 % і SV на 12 %, що спостерігається відповідно в 98, 54, 27, 32 і 42 % випадків, а показники корелюють між собою (SV ↔ ET1, SV ↔ PgI2) і лабораторними критеріями хвороби, залежать від тяжкості перебігу патологічного процесу (параметри ступеня респіраторного опіку, інтегральної тяжкості травми й шоку), впливають на виживаність потерпілих, а рівень VEGF має прогностичну значущість. Висновки. Порушення ендотеліальної функції судин і реологічних властивостей сироватки крові беруть участь у патогенетичних побудовах опікової травми.

Published: December 2018

Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir o perfil dos 368 acidentes de trânsito fatais ocorridos nas rodovias federais de Santa Catarina no ano de 2015 e propor ações que reduzam esse tipo de acidente. É um estudo de caso, com pesquisa bibliográfica e coleta de dados dos acidentes no sistema SIGER 2 da Polícia Rodoviária Federal e nos boletins de acidentes de trânsito lavrados. Os resultados mostram que houve um custo de mais de 244 milhões de reais somente com esses acidentes; as rodovias BR 101, 282 e 470 concentraram 77% dos acidentes fatais do Estado, sendo que a BR 101 foi responsável por 68% das mortes por atropelamento no Estado; 60% dos pedestres mortos tinham mais de 40 anos e 77% dessas mortes ocorreram no período noturno (das 18 às 6 horas da manhã). Os motociclistas representaram 18% do total de mortes, sendo que 60% dos motociclistas mortos tinham até de 40 anos e 74% das motos tinham até 150 cilindradas. Em relação aos ciclistas mortos, 57% tinham mais de 40 anos e 64% das mortes foram no período noturno (das 18 às 6 horas da manhã). Em 47% das mortes, um dos veículos envolvidos era de carga, pesado (caminhões, etc). As ações para reduzir a violência no trânsito não devem se resumir ao aumento de penalidade administrativa ou judicial; as ações devem englobar múltiplas áreas, levando em conta os três pilares de um trânsito seguro: educação, engenharia e fiscalização.

Espaços de cores: experiências e sentidos em Vincent van Gogh / Color spaces: experiences and senses in Vincent van Gogh
Authors: Rodrigues Jean Carlos
Published: December 2018

O artigo que apresentamos tem por finalidade discutir sobre o espaço na arte, com ênfase no espaço virtual, o espaço da pintura, que também se constitui como um espaço de cores. Este debate é construído a partir das concepções de formas simbólicas de Ernst Cassirer, e de formas significantes e espaço virtual de Susanne K. Langer. Com base nestes autores, parte-se do entendimento da arte como uma forma simbólica capaz de produzir representações de mundo e criar espacialidades artísticas, próprias do universo da pintura, mas produtos de uma mente tipicamente humana. Para tanto, tomamos como referência as obras “Memory of the Garden at Etten” [Memórias do Jardim de Etten] (1888) e “A Pair of Leather Clogs” (1889) [Um Par de Tamancos de Madeiras], ambas de Vincent van Gogh, da qual elaboramos um debate sobre estas formas simbólicas produzidas a partir das subjetividades da vida do artista, repleta de significados particulares, mas também produtoras de um universo simbólico muito específico, a saber, o espaço virtual. Para desenvolvermos este trabalho, as concepções de arte e de símbolo apoiadas em Suzanne K. Langer foram tomadas como nosso direcionamento teórico.
Origens da paisagem em Augustin Berque: pensamento paisageiro e pensamento da paisagem / Landscape origins in Augustin Berque: landscaping thought and landscape thinking
Authors: Marandola Hugo Leonardo , Oliveira Lívia De
Published: December 2018

O geógrafo Augustin Berque dedica boa parte de sua obra ao estudo da paisagem, tendo como uma de suas bases de pensamento a fenomenologia. Para o autor, a paisagem é uma das formas de expressão da relação entre homem e meio, e por isso ele se dedicou na busca do sentido profundo da paisagem, investigando suas origens na humanidade. Neste caminho, Berque encontrou registros do termo paisagem muito anteriores ao Renascimento europeu, comumente apontado como período de surgimento do conceito. Apesar de esta ser a origem do termo no ocidente, na China do século IV, cerca de mil anos antes da civilização ocidental, há registros tanto do vocábulo paisagem, como de uma reflexão sobre o mesmo. Por esse contexto de surgimento, ou nascimento, Berque considera que o sentido profundo da paisagem é revelado a partir de suas origens na China. Propõe ainda as noções de pensamento paisageiro e pensamento da paisagem.

Published: December 2018

It is of vital importance to use proper training data to perform accurate
shortterm load forecasting (STLF) based on artificial neural networks. The
pattern of the loads which are used for the training of Kohonen Self
Organizing Map (SOM) neural network in STLF models should be of the highest
similarity with the pattern of the electric load of the forecasting day. In
this paper, an electric load classifier model is proposed which relies on
the pattern recognition capability of SOM. The performance of the proposed
electric load classifier method is evaluated by Iran electric grid data. The
proposed method requires a very few number of training samples for training
the Kohonen neural network of the STLF model and can accurately predict
electric load in the network.
Urban Sprawl Typology in Semarang City
Authors: Aprillia Yutri , Pigawati Bitta
Published: December 2018

The population and economic growth increase the need of space leading to an increase in built-up area. There is an increased activity in the city centre which results in the residents feeling less comfortable to live in the area. Hence, the growth of the settlement area tends to head towards the periphery. This condition is an indication of the developments of the built-up area in the periphery. Urban sprawl is a phenomenon of development of an irregular built-up area which leads to the suburbs. Urban development as a result of urban sprawl will trigger an increase in the demand for supporting facilities and infrastructure. An urban Sprawl in Semarang City has resulted in the establishment of residential areas in a conserved region, which is against zoning regulations in the Semarang City Spatial Planning Document (RTRW). Urban Sprawl Typology Research in Semarang City aims to analyse the urban sprawl typology in the city. By knowing the typology, it can minimise the impact of urban sprawl. This research was conducted using the remote sensing method and geographic information system (GIS) with the Shannon's Entropy approach. The results indicated that in 2006 and 2016, urban sprawl in Semarang City had three types of typology that can be classified as typology I (low level), typology II (medium level) and typology III (high level). The impact of urban sprawl on typology II and III can be minimised through the provision of affordable housing with adequate infrastructure, and an improvement in the permit system for housing and settlement development.

Published: December 2018

Geographical Information System (GIS) modelling using vector data is a commonly used method of modelling offering simple data input and analysis. However, the vector-data model assumes homogeneity in mapping units based on subjectively applied classification and simplification, and this may lead to over-simplification and consequent reduction in the variety of information obtained and uncertainty in results. This research aimed at refining the suitability modelling for sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) using fully raster-based data for the waters of Kiowa Bay, Kahyapu village in the district of Enggano, North Bengkulu, Indonesia. Using a GIS, all parameters affecting suitability for sea cucumber were rasterised to improve compatibility. The relevant data includes nine parameters of sea water namely acidity, depth, current velocity, temperature, salinity, brightness, dissolved oxygen concentration, condition of the sea floor, and coastal protection of the area. These parameters were surveyed in the field at 51 stations and each parameter was then digitized and interpolated (using Kriging method) to create a continuous raster-dataset. Correlation analysis was then conducted to check parameter correlation. Parameters with a correlation coefficient of > 0.75 were excluded from further analysis since results could be derived from the remaining parameter set. Principal component analysis (PCA) was then applied to ascertain the weight of each component. Furthermore, scree plotting was employed to choose which principal components were relevant for insertion into the formula of suitability. The final result was then compared to the map of suitability from the analysis of vector-based data as the reference data set. The research results showed that this method can be used to locate areas that are suitable for sea cucumber farming. The suitability map for sea cucumber generated from the analysis using fully raster-based data displayed less uncertainty than the suitability map generated using vector-based data.

Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es describir en términos del espesor el comportamiento dinámico de la película plástica multicapa en un proceso de termodeformación bajo dos escenarios de temperatura (T1=20°C, T2=60°C) usando la fotoelasticidad como técnica de no contacto. Los colores de interferencia presentados en las imágenes de fotoelasticidad están asociados al espesor de la película plástica y a través del entrenamiento de un algoritmo de aprendizaje tipo ANFIS se relaciona color con espesor. La red neuro-difusa asocia cada intensidad de color del pixel con un espesor medido, obteniendo a la salida una imagen de espesores en escala de grises. Se concluye que los colores de interferencia están directamente correlacionados con el espesor de la película y la temperatura favorece la deformación permitiendo llegar a espesores menores en menor tiempo.

The purpose of this study is to identify the patterns of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, in adverse economic circumstances, so as to understand the importance ascribed by the companies to each of their stakeholders. Prior research on stakeholder salience has looked into various issues related to the relative attention given to corporate stakeholders by management, however, none has examined what this relationship looks like following a prolonged economic crisis. We investigate the activities of CSR in Greece, examining how companies spend their CSR resources in a depressed economy, studying the respective activity patterns of the companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE). Content analysis is used, thoroughly examining all public data available on the internet from 175 companies. The study includes data reported in 2014, collected at the end of 2015. Our results demonstrate that, the most popular CSR activities related to the human resources and the least practiced were the society and environment related ones. The findings show concern for the employees of the companies and their morale, superseding the interest for the other stakeholder categories in spite of the crisis and the soaring unemployment rate. Moreover, a significant divergence emerged between the CSR programs of the various industries. This indicates that for reasons unbeknownst to us, companies are placing less emphasis on consumers, environment and the society and tend to cater to the needs of their internal constituents.
Corrective Action Plans for Local Governments as Their Financial Health Barometers?
Authors: Kowalska Iwona
Published: December 2018

The implementation of corrective action plans in local government units (LGUs) takes place in the situation when they are unable to draw up a Multiannual Financial Forecast or the budget complying with the principles set out in Article 242-244 of the Public Finance Act (UFP). In the years 2012–2016, there was a six-fold increase in the number of LGUs which were obliged to implement these plans. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to assess their suitability as an actual barometer of the financial standing of local government units and propose an alternative solutions. The conducted analysis shows that the adopted legislative solutions regulating the implementation of corrective action plans are inconsistent and their effectiveness is not fully satisfactory. The paper suggests changes in current regulations and proposes alternative approach to the assessment of the financial position of local government units.
Local Government Debt Control Methods by Regional Chambers of Audit
Authors: Legutko Mirosław
Published: December 2018

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the system of control over local government debt exercised by the Regional Chambers of Audit (RCA) and to present the conclusions and expectations resulting from this assessment both generated by the RCA and applicable to the RCA within the scope of conducted debt audits. The method applied to assess legal regulations included analysis of legislative documents, i.e. primarily the Constitution, the Public Finance Act of 27 August 2009, Act of 7 October 1992 on Regional Chambers of Audit and the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 28 December 2011 on the detailed manner of classifying debt titles classified as public debt. The analyses contained in this paper cover the period from 2014, when the Individual Debt Ratio defined in art. 243 of the Public Finance Act came into force, until 2018. The presented data and regulations confirm the correct functioning of the extensive control system in this respect. Every year, the number of negative assessments of local government debts decreases. However, it seems necessary to eliminate negative phenomena, such as: extending debt repayment period, use of unlimited types of debt titles and falsification of reporting data. The elimination of these negative phenomena may be achieved through amendments to the currently binding law regulating obtaining funding by local governments.
Characteristics of Sustainable Bioeconomy in the CEE Macro-region
Authors: Vásáry Viktória , Szabó Dorottya
Published: December 2018

In the coming decades to achieve further progress in sustainable growth of agriculture, aquaculture, forestry and food industry in the CEE countries there is a need to face specific challenges through the lens of bioeconomy, thus by shifting the emphasis to research, innovation and transnational cooperation for knowledge-based development. A shared strategic research and innovation framework that has already been offered by the Central-Eastern European Initiative for Knowledge-based Agriculture, Aquaculture and Forestry in the Bioeconomy, i.e. by the BIOEAST Initiative might enable these countries to work towards the development of a sustainable bioeconomy while effectively joining the European Research Area. The study is aimed at conceptualizing bioeconomy, analysing key socio-economic indicators of the ‘BIOEAST countries’ bioeconomy and describing the implications for policymakers based on the results of the ‘BIOEAST Bioeconomy Capacity Building Survey’. Based on the results of the survey the major findings of the research verify and strengthen the objectives of the BIOEAST Initiative. The individual results of the survey in terms of major bottlenecks in the supply chain, missing elements hindering competitiveness, the opportunities to raise competitiveness and functions of the intervention system led to the conclusion that the creation of sustainable bioeconomy explicitly requires triple-helix stakeholders to find efficient collaboration mechanisms and build synergies.
Use of Six Sigma for Quality Assurance in the Arms Industry
Authors: Borek-Wojciechowska Regina , Figarski Jarosław , Pokora Wojciech
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this paper is to present military applications of the quality assurance method called Six Sigma. This method is applied worldwide to manage quality. It is used by major global enterprises including those producing goods for military purposes. One of its greatest users is the Army of the United States of America as well as other national armies. Six Sigma is part of strategies used in enterprise management, in which quality is perceived as a crucial factor in improvement of competitive market advantage as well as a solution enabling confrontation with emerging threats. Functioning of an army is connected not only with activities related to military operations, but also with purchase of military equipment and other goods, repairs of the equipment, health protection, data collection, transportation, and storage. Six Sigma and solutions based on experience with the method may be applied to all of these areas.
Local Authorities’ Funds as Sources of Revenues of the Metropolitan Association
Authors: Ofiarska Małgorzata
Published: December 2018

The objective of the study is to analyse and evaluate the legislation in force governing the sources of revenues of metropolitan associations. The statutory catalogue of the sources of revenues of metropolitan associations includes funds derived from local authorities that, to a limited extent, may be influenced by the bodies of metropolitan associations or the bodies of member municipalities. In the course of research, with the application of the dogmatic-legal method supplemented with an empirical-analytic method, the following hypothesis has been verified: a potential lack of relevance of funds, in static terms, with respect to the scope of public tasks of metropolitan associations as provided for by the Act may be adjusted jointly by their bodies and their members. The principles of the amounts and collection of subscriptions from the municipalities in the Górnośląsko (Upper-Silesian)-Zagłębiowska Metropolis, the proportion of personal-income tax receipts from natural persons residing within said municipalities, and the procedure under which subsidies are made from municipality budgets to metropolitan association budgets have been presented. It has been determined that the main source of revenues is the proceeds of personal-income tax. Subscriptions have been found to be of supplementary importance, whereas subsidies from municipality budgets have not been recorded.
The Limits of the Freedom of a Commune Council in Determining and Differentiating of Property Tax Rates
Authors: Ofiarski Zbigniew
Published: December 2018

The power of communes to impose taxes, which is guaranteed in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and the European Charter of Local Self-Government, includes the competences of a commune council to determine and differentiate the rates of property tax. Using the legal dogmatic method and, additionally, the empirical-analytical method, the study presents and evaluates the legal solutions justifying the claim that the competences of a commune council can only be exercised within the limits determined in the Tax Act. The statutory limits were set through determination of maximum annual tax rates and the subjective criteria pursuant to which the tax rates may be differentiated. Therefore, it may be assumed that the competences of a commune council are limited. The manner of exercising them is subject to supervision by regional accounting chambers as well as control carried out by administrative courts. Exercising of these competences by a commune council may constitute an important instrument of the local tax policy.
Dos perspectivas latinoamericanas sobre el mundo ibérico. España contemporánea de Rubén Darío, y Portugal d’agora de João do Rio
Authors: González Lucía
Published: December 2018

Rubén Darío viaja a España en 1898 como enviado de La Nación de Buenos Aires y como fruto de ese viaje publica luego de dos años el libro España contemporánea. Unos años más tarde y desde Brasil, el escritor carioca João do Rio viaja a Portugal y escribe un conjunto de crónicas que luego publicará –en 1911– bajo el título Portugal d’agora. Los dos escritores citados se dirigen hacia países –España y Portugal– que connotaban el margen económico y cultural dentro de Europa. En este sentido, el presente artículo pretende establecer un análisis comparativo y contrastivo entre dichos relatos de viaje con el fin de dilucidar las contradicciones que ambos discursos presentan frente a la modernidad cultural.
Direct Spectrophotometric Determination of Cefuroxime Axetil in Pure Form and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms.
Authors: Ramadan Abdul Aziz , Bakdash Marwa
Published: December 2018

A simple, direct and cost-effective spectrophotometric method for determination of cefuroxime axetil (CRXA)  in pure and tablet dosage forms was applied. This method is based on formation of ion-pair complex ([CRXA]:[BTB]) between CRXA and bromothymol blue (BTB) in chloroform. Beer’s law in the optimum experimental conditions using [CRXA]:[BTB] complex is valid within a concentration range of 2.00-50.00 ?M (1.021–25.524 ?g.mL-1). The developed method is applied for the determination of CRXA in pure and its commercial tablets without any interference from excipients with average assay of 96.8 to 101.6% and the results are in good agreement with those obtained by the HPLC reference method. Associated drugs (sulbactam and linesolid) with cefuroxime axetil are considered to be interfere, while metronidazole can be considered as non-interfere.
OS GANHOS DECORRENTES DA INEFICIÊNCIA NO SISTEMA PRISIONAL BRASILEIRO CONTEMPORÂNEO
Authors: Smanio Gianpaolo Poggio , Girardi Karin Bianchini
Published: December 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre os paradoxos da política penitenciária brasileira contemporânea que, sem prescindir da prisão como mecanismo central de gestão da criminalidade, enfrenta os impactos da eficiência administrativa e do gerencialismo no sistema de justiça criminal, notadamente com o advento da polêmica privatização dos estabelecimentos prisionais, que, longe de priorizar o cumprimento da finalidade ressocializadora da pena privativa de liberdade, encontra-se perversamente influenciada pelos interesses mercantis da indústria do encarceramento.
Nuevas herramientas y nuevas ideas para los responsables de recursos humanos. Validez estructural y predictiva del cuestionario de satisfacción ponderada
Authors: Revuelto Taboada Lorenzo , Fernández Guerrero Rafael
Published: December 2018

Una de las tareas fundamentales de los responsables de la Dirección de Recursos Humanos (DRH) consiste en diseñar sistemas de recompensas, capaces de influir en las actitudes y en los comportamientos de los individuos para facilitar el logro de los objetivos organizativos. Para ello, necesitan contar con herramientas que les permitan identificar prioridades de actuación a la hora de motivar a sus empleados, evitando asumir costes de oportunidad derivados de dedicar recursos a cerrar la brecha en términos de satisfacción, respecto a factores no prioritarios para el trabajador, a la hora de satisfacer sus necesidades. Este artículo presenta una doble escala de evaluación compuesta por 44 ítems, encuadrados en seis dimensiones, en la que se valora, en primer lugar, la importancia como motivador y, en segundo lugar, el nivel de satisfacción con la situación actual, respecto a los 44 factores considerados. Utilizando una muestra de 801 sujetos, se analiza la consistencia interna, validez aparente y predictiva de las escalas, obteniéndose resultados, cuanto menos, prometedores.

Is There a Postworkout Anabolic Window of Opportunity for Nutrient Consumption? Clearing up Controversies
Authors: Schoenfeld Brad Jon , Aragon Alan Albert
Published: December 2018

Nutrient timing is a popular strategy for enhancing muscular adaptations and athletic performance. From the standpoint of muscle hypertrophy, the concept of a “postworkout anabolic window of opportunity” has been proposed, whereby a limited time exists after training to optimize accretion of muscle proteins. Some researchers have gone so far as to claim that the timing of nutritional consumption is even more critical to muscle development than the absolute daily consumption of nutrients. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to review the current literature as to the relevance of the anabolic window of opportunity, and draw evidence-based conclusions for application into practice.
