This study can further use other methods that may be better than the variable analysis used in this study, for example logistic analysis.
Teologia da Libertação na terra do dólar
Authors: Ribeiro Jorge Claudio Noel
Published: January 2021

Embora pouco conhecida no meio acadêmico latino-americano, a Teologia da Libertação (TdL) nos EUA apresenta uma longa tradição que inspira inovadoras práticas religiosas e sociais. Essa vertente mostra a face mais madura e solidária da religião na sociedade estadunidense, contrapondo-se à corrente mainstream, neopentecostal. Profundamente enraizada na história e cultura estadunidense, a TdL se desdobra em diversas vertentes: é negra, feminista (ou “womanist”, na versão negra), hispânica, asiática, haitiana, nativo-americana e “queer”.

Ao longo de sua história, a TdL dos EUA apresenta três eixos principais. O primeiro são as Black Churches, que desde o século 18 se opunham à escravidão e à segregação dos afro-americanos que, após a abolição da escravidão se transformaram nas infames leis “Jim Crow”. A luta contra essa legislação foi religiosamente inspirada e mobilizou líderes e associações.

O segundo eixo foi a Harlem Renaissance (HR), amplo movimento artístico durante o qual numerosos intelectuais e artistas afro-americanos apresentaram expressiva produção. Embora não seja formalmente teológico, por sua contribuição à formação da identidade afro-americana, esse movimento é apontado como importante componente da TdL nos EUA.

O terceiro eixo foi o movimento pelos Direitos Civis cujo berço foi a resistência e a luta contra a escravidão. A Marcha sobre Washington, de 1963, é referência inescapável na luta pelos direitos civis. Conclamada por várias associações e igrejas, reuniu 250 mil pessoas. Na ocasião, King proferiu seu clássico discurso “Eu tenho um sonho”. A marcha acelerou importantes mudanças em tramitação no Congresso que culminaram na legislação anti-segregação no início dos anos 1960 e na eleição de Barack Obama em 2008.
UNICEF: produção da adolescência pelo acontecimento ato infracional
Authors: Alves Alanna Caroline Gadelha , Lemos Flávia Cristina Silveira
Published: January 2021

Este artigo traz algumas análises sobre a produção do ato infracional para o Fundo das Nações Unidas para a Infância (UNICEF), no Brasil como uma prática considerada a partir das noções de risco e perigo e propõe práticas de saber, poder e subjetivação constitutivas do que denomina adolescência autora de ato infracional. Para o UNICEF, há a demanda de um governo das condutas de adolescentes que cometeram atos classificados como infracionais a partir da biopolítica, gestão ligada a um racismo de Estado e de sociedade. A racionalidade do controle social dos processos de desenvolvimento é usada para regular os corpos de adolescentes por meio de uma lógica punitiva, baseada na seletividade das medidas socioeducativas em função de classe social, gênero e raça-etnia.

Published: January 2021

O cuidador informal, na sua prática de cuidados, experimenta de igual forma sentimentos positivos e negativos. No entanto, é a interpretação pessoal sobre a tarefa que executa que determina o seu grau de satisfação ou insatisfação em relação à mesma. OBJETIVO: Verificar os principais motivos de satisfação e/ou insatisfação dos cuidadores informais em relação à tarefa de cuidar. MÉTODO: Estudo de cariz qualitativo e paradigma interpretativo. Participaram 24 cuidadores familiares residentes no distrito de Aveiro, Portugal. A análise de conteúdo foi realizada com o apoio do software webQDA. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se que interpretação subjetiva que cada cuidador faz sobre a tarefa de cuidar determina a sua satisfação/insatisfação com a mesma. CONCLUSÃO: Mesmo que os cuidadores manifestem sentimentos de satisfação e insatisfação, prevalecerá o sentimento de solidariedade/generosidade do cuidador em relação ao familiar que se encontra incapacitado.
Educação e trabalho: a formação de consenso na sociedade sob a influência do capital
Authors: Inacio Adriele A. , Almeida Tatiani Maria Garcia de , Mezarobba Gilson
Published: January 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a íntima relação entre educação e trabalho e como ocorreu a sua separação. Isto é, compreender a cisão na unidade educação antes identificada com o processo do trabalho e agora dividida entre a educação propedêutica e a técnica engendrada pelo capital. Para tanto, é necessário compreender que a educação contribui para a conservação da sociedade ao reproduzir seus conteúdos ideológicos. Dessa maneira, o processo de institucionalização da educação acontece correlato ao processo de surgimento da divisão do trabalho. A separação da educação e trabalho teve uma dupla manifestação: a proposta dualista de escolas profissionais para os trabalhadores e escola de ciências e humanidades para os futuros dirigentes; e a proposta de escola única diferenciada, que efetuava internamente a distribuição dos educandos segundo as funções sociais para as quais se os destinavam em consonância com as características que geralmente decorriam de sua origem social, portanto, reforça a sociedade de classes.
Discurso sobre o sujeito executivo na mídia: encapsulamentos anafóricos e catafóricos que não encapsulam apenas partes do texto
Authors: Silva Alessandro Alves da , Navarro Pedro
Published: January 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivos: 1) analisar algumas denominações em relação ao sujeito executivo presentes na versão online da revista Você S/A, buscando mostrar alguns dos saberes e dos poderes que vão se formando em relação a este sujeito; 2) mostrar que tais dispositivos atualizam-se em práticas discursivas midiáticas que, pela escolha lexical, posicionam os indivíduos (os sujeitos executivos) como sujeitos competitivos, empreendedores de si mesmos, conhecedores de si mesmos, comprometidos, interessados, obstinados, realizadores e motivadores. O suporte de análise é essencialmente discursivo e se vale, principalmente, do método arqueogenealógico de análise de discursos proposto pelo filósofo francês Michel Foucault. Tal método “busca compreender o sentido a partir da análise da rede interdiscursiva em que a série se encontra, da relação, portanto, que um enunciado mantém com os outros” (NAVARRO, 2008, p. 63). Paralelamente ao método arqueogenealógico de análise de discursos foram utilizados alguns aportes teóricos e linguísticos como ferramentas auxiliares para a análise da função enunciativa que se exerce, constituindo sentidos sobre esse sujeito executivo: 1) “encapsulamentos” (CONTE, 2003); 2) “denominações” (CAMACHO; HATTNHER; GONÇALVES, 2008) e (MARIANI, 1998) e 3) “equação linguística” (SOARES, 2006).

Some textbooks still contain forms of violence. There is a type of violence that is latently perpetuated or reproduced as a habit of social and cultural structures which is called symbolic violence. In textbooks, how are forms of symbolic violence perpetuated or reproduced through language, namely in sentences and images. As a descriptive-analytic research library, the researcher tries to analyze the integrated thematic textbook 2013 curriculum for SD/MI which contains gender class distinctions between male and female classes. The distinction of gender classes in textbooks is then described and described by researchers and then analyzing sentences and images that contain symbolic violence. In the sentences in the textbook, there is a male class dominance, namely there are 62 sentences or 61.8% sentences while the female class is only 40 sentences or 39.2% sentences. In the picture, the male class dominates, namely there are 78 pictures or 65%, while the female class as the dominant class has 42 sentences or 35% pictures. The results showed that the male class dominates the female class in sentences and pictures. Male class domination is a form of socialization of the dominant class habitus to the dominated class. The socialization of the dominant class habitus is carried out in order so that the habits of social and cultural structures can be perpetuated or reproduced so that they are accepted as things that are justified and imitated. This in Pierre Bourdieu's language is said to be symbolic violence.

The direction of the Qibla is very important in salat prayer. Having to know the direction means being part of a series of prerequisite prayer requirements. For the people of Mecca and those who live there, Qibla is not a problem because they do not experience difficulties in determining it. However, for countries and cities outside Mecca in the State of Saudi Arabia it is a very important issue as to which direction the Qibla to the Ka'bah is right to accurate. There are several methods that have been invented and have been practiced and achieved accurate results, but not all ulama of fiqh can fully accept them. Through the study of Indonesian literature on the direction of the Qibla and discussed with descriptive qualitative, opinions and reasons are further explored that help address the need for discussion in astronomy. Not all circles are capable of accepting technological developments, there are some groups who refuse that it is sufficient to determine the direction of the Qibla facing west. Among the groups who reject it, namely traditional scholars or ancient kyai, they believe that the mosque built by the wali cannot be wrong or may not face the Qibla.

Initial consonant cluster epenthesis in Turkish and its implications to EFL
Authors: GENÇ Bilal , ÜLKERSOY Namık , DARMAZ Volkan
Published: January 2021

Abstract

The phonological structure of Turkish does not allow word-initial consonant clusters. That is, the syllable onset position of borrowed vocabulary requires the insertion of an epenthetic high vowel. This changes the syllable structure by the addition of an extra syllable to the word. In Turkish schools, all grammar teachers teach those borrowed words as if they were one syllable words. However, the situation is different phonologically since these are not one syllable but two syllable words. Borrowed words such as tren (English train), plan (English plan) are pronounced with the insertion of the high vowel [i] and therefore become two syllable words. Our goal in this paper was to analyse such borrowed words drawing syllable diagrams in order to prove that these loan words actually consist of two syllables in Turkish. The diagrams were illustrated in phonetic transcription. We also concluded that Turkish initial consonant cluster epenthesis might affect Turkish EFL learners’ pronunciation of English words in their foreign language classes.

Key words: epenthesis, consonant clusters, onset, Turkish.
AN INTEGRATION APPROACH FOR HETEROGENEOUS DISTRIBUTED DATABASE TRANSACTION PROTOCOLS
Authors: RAMESH DHARAVATH , Vemuri Saritha , KUMARV VIJAY
Published: January 2021

Integration is commonly used for summarizing information held in very large databases which are encountered in data warehousing, large scale transaction management, and statistical databases. Such applications often involve distributed databases that have developed independently and therefore may exhibit incompatibility, heterogeneity, and data inconsistency. We are here concerned with the integration that has heterogeneous classification schemes where local ontology’s, in the form of such classification schemes, may be mapped onto a common ontology. Existing transaction protocols typically rely on compensating transactions to handle exceptional conditions. In this paper, we develop an approach that can handle data inconsistencies and identify a number of issues with compensation-based transaction protocols and describe another transaction protocol that addresses those issues. Moreover, we define a set of properties, analogous to the ACID properties of traditional transactions that are more appropriate for business activities that span multiple enterprises. For this approach we use distributed transaction commit algorithm with EM algorithmic approach which is associated with Kullback-Leibler information divergence.

Authors: VIKRAM N. R . , ASHOKKUMAR P. M.
Published: January 2021

Action recognition in video sequence has been a major challenging research area for number of years. Apriori algorithm and SIFT descriptor based approach for action recognition is proposed in this paper. Here, two phases can be carried out for accurate and updating of action recognition. In the first phase, the input should be the video sequence. For preprocessing the sequences frame can be formatted by background modeling for every successive frame. After modeling the background, the corners are detected for every frame and compound features are extracted. Data mining is performed by using Apriori algorithm as well as with the help of compound features extraction the action can be segregated in this video sequence. In the second phase, the same process is performed as well as analysis for new input frame and new pattern are updated for perfect recognition process. Due to Apriori algorithm, the processing delay is reduced and accuracy is improved.

Cloud computing, a rapidly developing information technology has becoming a well-known the whole world. Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information, are provided to computers and devices on-demand, like the electricity grid. Cloud computing is the product of the fusion of traditional computing technology and network technology like grid computing, distributed computing parallel computing and so on. Companies, such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and so on, accelerate their paces in developing Cloud Computing systems and enhancing their services to provide for a larger amount of users. However, security and privacy issues present a strong barrier for users to adapt into Cloud Computing systems. It is a new technology that satisfies a user’s requirement for computing resources like networks, storage, servers, services and applications, without physically acquiring them. It reduces the overhead of the organization of marinating the large system but it has associated risks and threats also which include – security, data leakage, insecure interface and sharing of resources and inside attacks.
IMPROVING SPAM EMAIL FILTERING EFFICIENCY USING BAYESIAN BACKWARD APPROACH PROJECT
Authors: SHESHIKALA M.
Published: January 2021

Unethical e-mail senders bear little or no cost for mass distribution of messages, yet normal e-mail users are forced to spend time and effort in reading undesirable messages from their mailboxes. Due to the rapid increase of electronic mail (or e-mail), several people and companies found it an easy way to distribute a massive amount of undesired messages to a tremendous number of users at a very low cost. These unwanted bulk messages or junk e-mails are called spam messages .Several machine learning approaches have been applied to this problem. In this paper, we explore a new approach based on Bayesian classification that can automatically classify e-mail messages as spam or legitimate. We study its performance for various datasets.

Published: January 2021

Protein structure prediction (PSP) from amino acid sequence is one of the high focus problems in bioinformatics today. This is due to the fact that the biological function of the protein is determined by its three dimensional structure. The understanding of protein structures is vital to determine the function of a protein and its interaction with DNA, RNA and enzyme. Thus, protein structure is a fundamental area of computational biology. Its importance is intensed by large amounts of sequence data coming from PDB (Protein Data Bank) and the fact that experimentally methods such as X-ray crystallography or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)which are used to determining protein structures remains very expensive and time consuming. In this paper, different types of protein structures and methods for its prediction are described.

Published: January 2021

High quality software can be obtained by means of resolving the complexity of the software. According to Pareto principle, 20% of components lead to 80% of the problems [1]. So, we need to identify those 20% of the components during testing. Therefore, this research work suggested an automated software testing framework to identify critical components using mutant based dynamic impact analysis for Software under Test (SUT). Mutants are automatically generated by injecting faults in the components using Offutt mutation operators and they are utilised to identify their impact level over other components of the system. The generated mutants and original program are executed using the suite of test cases, based on the conclusion of both the results, the mutation score is assessed and furthermore it is utilised as the test case adequacy criterion to recognize the impact level of it over the other components of a system. The outcome of this innovative approach is a testing tool entitled as JImpact Analyzer that automates the entire task and has generates miscellaneous graphs for visualization purpose.

Web Services and Service Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm have received significant attention due to its wide spread adoption and promotion by major IT vendors. As more and more Service-Oriented Softwares are built to-day testing of web service have becomes crucial point. Web services are distributed, loosly coupled, autonomous, reusuable, discoverable, hides internal logic (Abstraction),minimize retaining information (Statelessness) and adhere to Service Level Aggrement (SLA).These inherent characterestics imposes great challenges to the tester.In this paper we try to impose hierarchical structure on Web Service Description Language(WSDL) in order to uncover more and more errors before its final deployment through blackbox testing.Our approach differes from others by imposing hierarchical structure on WSDL, finding various dependencies like data dependency, control dependency, and generation of Web Service Dependence Graph(WSDG) which are essential for testing.

OCL FORMAL SPECIFICATION BASED METRICS AS A MEASURE OF COMPLEXITY AND FAULT-PRONENESS
Authors: JALILA A. , MALA D. JEYA , BALAMURUGAN S. , NATHAN K. SABARI
Published: January 2021

Formal specification of UML models in OCL is essential to improve software quality. Owing to the use of OCL in precise model specification, its application has been looked in different perspectives such as early measurement of module complexity. Moreover, when UML class diagrams are complemented with OCL, the metrics collected from OCL specification can serve as an indicator of fault-prone components. In the proposed approach an empirical study has been conducted on five soft real time case study applications. In this paper, existing metrics which are applicable to OCL expression are validated using module complexity. Moreover, a new metrics suite, which can be extracted from OCL expressions, has been devoted to quantify module complexity. The proposed metrics suite can be directly extracted from OCL expressions. Relative weight has been assigned to each metric which is selected for the proposed study, based on its importance in fault-prone components identification. The study shows that an analysis on OCL formal specification based metrics is effective in identifying fault-prone components of the system. Furthermore, it helps to distribute efforts required for software development and testing activities.

Transformer can be said to be the power source and an important electrical device of power sector which is used to step up or step down the voltages according to the need of user. It works on the phenomenon of Mutual Induction. Oil filled Transformers get the insulation and heat transfer properties form the oil. But ironically the same oil causes one of the major defects of the transformer i.e leakage. Leakages are as old as transformers and have been a challenge to all the manufacturers. It is a highly time consuming and expensive task to arrest the leakages once occurred at the shop flor or at the site. The location for this leakage has been in most cases from the bushings where the cables or busbars are connected to draw or inject power during its use. These bushings are of different types such as porcelain or epoxy cast. This leakage is normally sealed by use of gasket material and tightening of the bushings to block the path of oil from the inside of the transformer to outside. There have been many delays in production lines due to these leakages and the resulting rework and have also caused complaints from site wherein the customer’s plant had interruption of power during the period of rectification. We have selected this problem as a project and solve it by six
sigma methodology to achieve first time right sealing of bushing leakage which will eliminate production of defective parts and be a step towards Lean manufacturing in Transformers.

Equipments operating in sour environment containing H2S are prone to deterioration by wet H2S damage mechanism. INDMAX unit (patented FCCU) produces LPG which contains H2S, cyanide as impurities. To remove these impurities LPG is treated with caustic wash and subsequently water wash in series operation. Due to presence of wet H2S environment in the water wash vessel, nascent hydrogen is produced which diffuses in to the wall of the vessel. Due to presence of laminations in the CS shell these hydrogen atoms combined to form hydrogen molecule which exerts severe internal pressure greater than the yield strength of the CS wall inside the laminations resulting in formation of hydrogen blister. This paper describes the use of phased array UT (PAUT) technique for detection of lamination and sizing of hydrogen blisters in the LPG wash water vessel. Fitness for purpose study was carried out for safe operation of this vessel.

Energy is the gift of nature to man kind in various forms. Energy is the need for all kinds of work done by human being and nature. There are many sources of energy that help to run the various machines invented by man. But as the population and development activities increases, the requirement of the energy (demand) will also increase. If this trend of continuous exploitation of energy sources, continue the sources are going to be exhausted very soon n near future. So we need to look for the alternative of conventional sources of energy and the best alternative of conventional energy sources are the non-conventional energy sources of energy which are also called renewable source of energy. The conventional source of energy are coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc. which are kind of fossil fuel and non-conventional are renewable sources of energy ar in the form of solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, ocean thermal, hydro and Tidal energy. Sun is the main source of energy.

The welding parameters such as current, voltage, arc length, wire feed rates, wire stick-out distance etc will influence on the deposited weld bead geometry. Statistical design of experiments using orthogonal arrays and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios are performed to constitute the core of the robust design procedure. Taguchi Methodology was employed with minimum number of trails as compared with classical statistical experiments. This
study systematically revels the complex cause-effect relationships between design parameters and performance. Thus an optimized weld bead width and heights are formulated for the exterior contour weld path deposition and for the interior layer metal path deposition respectively.

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the electromotor input power loss caused by oil viscosity between piston and cylinder in reciprocating systems such as compressors, presses and pumps with crank and slider driver without oil ring or ringless pistons. Using the numerical and analytical approaches respectively for nonlinear and linear oil velocity profiles assumed between piston and cylinder, dissipated power caused by oil viscosity was calculated and results of these two approaches were compared to validate finite difference results. Finally, the effect of vertical or horizontal position of piston and cylinder were compared in the case of nonlinear oil velocity profile for different applications.

Overweight schools bags will bring additional stress and fatigue to primary and junior secondary students. The Department of Health recommends that, as a precautionary measure, students should avoid carrying school bags which exceed 15% of their body weight for long periods of time. Around 60 per cent of Indian schoolchildren may suffer back pain by carrying schoolbags. For example, a heavy bag that’s slung over one shoulder can, over the 12 years of schooling, cause chronic back problems that linger into adulthood. Risks include muscle strain, distortion of the natural ‘S’ curve of the spine and rounding of the shoulders. The low back pain as a result of carrying of school bag by students has necessitated the attention given to the determination of limits of weight of school bag carrying by students in the school. It was however noted by that no Occupational Safety and Health organization exist regarding what constitutes the maximum acceptable or safe weight of school bag. After this observation, several researchers have worked on the subject of weight of school bag using three main approaches namely: Physiological, Psychophysical and Biomechanical. Author has applied the Fuzzy logic approaches for setting weight limit (WL) of school bag to be carried by students in school in the analysis the strengths and the weaknesses with the height are taken in to consideration. The approach may probably lead to reduce the problem of low back pain of students caused by heavy weight of school bag.
