Hospital Colônia Itapuã: Um Patrimônio em Exposição
Authors: Medeiros Helena Thomassim
Published: October 2018

Este artigo tem o intuito de abordar 06 (seis) exposições realizadas na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre – RS que exploraram a trajetória do Hospital Colônia Itapuã (HCI) abordando a temática de suas narrativas. Analisa-se a importância do espaço museal, caracterizado pela estrutura das exposições, enquanto fonte de informação e possível desencadeador de interesse acerca de um tema, podendo mobilizar a valorização e legitimação da necessidade de preservação da história de um local. Considera-se que um patrimônio como o do HCI pode ser representado em uma exposição tanto em uma perspectiva material, levando em conta a parte física e arquitetônica da instituição, quanto imaterial, caracterizada pelas memórias e histórias de vida que ali se desenvolveram. Sendo assim, busca-se neste trabalho compreender como estas iniciativas foram e são elaboradas.
O confisco do conflito na historiografia penal
Authors: Giamberardino Andre Ribeiro
Published: October 2018

A hipótese analisada é a existência de um equívoco historiográfico na vinculação entre a aflitividade da punição com a ideia de vingança privada e com a presença da vítima no processo criminal. É comum se associar uma suposta humanização da punição, principalmente através da pena de prisão, à rejeição da vingança privada e, portanto, à monopolização da violência pelo Estado moderno. A justificação da pena seria prevalentemente utilitarista, demonizando-se o retributivismo como incompatível com a natureza civilizada do ato de punir. Entretanto, o conceito de crime como violação do soberano e o modelo processual inquisitório são matrizes vinculadas ao confisco do conflito dos ofendidos, na passagem de uma justiça penal negociada a uma justiça penal hegemônica.
Do multiculturalismo ao interculturalismo: fracasso ou aperfeiçoamento
Authors: Zanotta Calçada Luís Antonio , Heringer Júnior Bruno
Published: October 2018

O movimento multiculturalista surgido no final do século passado reconhecia a sociedade como integrada por diferentes grupos culturais em busca de reconhecimento, tendo formulado diversas propostas de fomento a suas demandas. Em vista da persistência e até da exacerbação dos problemas relativos à discriminação, uma nova abordagem foi sugerida: o interculturalismo. O presente artigo, assim, busca refletir acerca dessa mudança de visão: o interculturalismo decorreu de um fracasso ou constitui um mero aperfeiçoamento do multiculturalismo?
New family code of Slovenia (2017): procedural aspect
Authors: Kraljić Suzana , Rijavec Vesna
Published: October 2018

O direito de família na Eslovênia vivenciou anos de manifesta ebulição: o casamento recebeu nova definição (ou) redefinição, a parentalidade foi revisitada, a adoção tem sido objeto de muita discussão e houve dois referendos relacionados às parcerias entre pessoas do mesmo sexo ... Finalmente, aos 23 de março de 2017, foi recebido o novo Código de Família. Uma de importantes mudanças mais salientes está relacionada à jurisdição nas questões de família, transferida dos órgãos administrativos para os tribunais de modo a tentar aumentar a proteção processual da criança. Ao fazê-lo, o legislador atendeu ao pedido de que a jurisdição para questões semelhantes seja a mesma e a partir daí adoção, assistência social e tutela passam a interessar aos tribunais. Mas há também um sistema de via dupla, no qual questões familiares podem ser tratadas de não-contenciosa. Independentemente do procedimento (administrativo, civil, não-contencioso), o melhor interesse da criança é consideração primordial. Daí que o Código de Família direciona especial atenção às medidas de proteção à criança ante a obrigação do Estado de proteger os melhores interesses delas. O interesse da criança “é padrão legal, cujo valor haverá de ser concretizado de modo a respeitar as circunstâncias do único caso. Para isso, os tribunais devem fornecer garantias processuais adequadas, independentemente do procedimento adotado.

Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre o IMC dos cuidadores alimentares em ambiente familiar e o percentil do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), Circunferência de Cintura (CC) e Percentual de gordura corporal (%GC) de crianças de 7 a 12 anos. Método: Estudo transversal de caráter descritivo e exploratório. Participaram 462 escolares, 424 cuidadores principais e 354 cuidadores secundários de escola particular e pública da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre – RS. O cuidador principal é o responsável principal pela alimentação da criança. O secundário é aquele que, na falta do principal, seria o responsável pela alimentação. A análise estatística foi realizada com chi quadrado para as proporções e cálculo das razões de prevalência. Resultados e Conclusões: A maioria dos cuidadores principais foram mães. As crianças que tiveram IMC >= 30 associaram com todas as variáveis antropométricas. Esse efeito foi maior nas meninas do que nos meninos. Quanto aos cuidadores secundários, a maioria foram pais. Observamos que, nesse caso, o IMC > 30 foi fator de associação para excesso de gordura corporal, obesidade central e obesidade nas crianças. Encontramos uma correlação positiva entre o IMC dos cuidadores alimentares e as medidas antropométricas das crianças de 5%, reproduzindo dados da literatura internacional.
Könyv a magyar nyelv jelenéről és jövőjéről
Authors: Hoffmann István
Published: October 2018

A magyar nyelv jelene és jövője című, nemrég megjelent kötet újszerű megközelítést mutat e nyelv közelmúltjának történetéhez, jelenlegi helyzetéhez és belátható jövőjéhez. A megközelítés újszerűsége elsősorban a következetesen alkalmazott funkcionalista nézőpontból fakad, amely a nyelvet a nyelvhasználattól és a nyelvhasználók közösségétől elválaszthatatlan entitásnak tekinti. Ennek a perspektívának köszönhető az is, hogy a vita multi- és interdiszciplináris jellegű, és számos, egymással összefüggő tudományterületet érint. A szerzők a lehető legszélesebb társadalmi beágyazottságban jelenítik meg ennek a nyelvnek a főbb eseményeit, jellegzetességeit, és sikeresen jelölik ki azokat a területeket, amelyek a magyarság jelenlegi állapota felől nézve a legszembetűnőbbek a magyarság jövője és versenyképessége szempontjából.

Folklórból stilizált világkép
Authors: Balázs Géza
Published: October 2018

A tanulmány középpontjában Tamási Áron Jégtörő Mátyás (1935) című regénye áll, amelyet írója és több kortársa is a legjelentősebb művének tartotta. Tamási Ábel-trilógiája sikere után újabb trilógia írásába kezdett, amely azonban hiányos maradt: csak a Jégtörő Mátyás és a Ragyog egy csillag (1938) készült el. A két regényt felfogásuk, hátterük és szereplőik összekapcsolják egymással, de lényeges különbségek is vannak a folklorisztikus jelleggel és az ázsiai hatásokhoz (buddhizmus) visszanyúló Jégtörő Mátyás és a népi vallásosság köré összpontosuló Ragyog egy csillag között. Összességében azonban a két regényt egy teljesen sajátos „mágikus realizmus” jellemzi. Jelen folklór-nyelvészeti elemzés keretét (i) a két regény népmese jellege és (ii) népnyelvi szóhasználata, valamint (iii) az általuk követett folklórhagyomány és (iv) a transzcendencia adja. Konkrétabban a következő szempontokat követik nyomon: szellemek állati formában, beszélő vadállatok, segítő szellemek, népi vallásosság; Erdélyi mancsosság, hasonlatok halmaza, mondatkészletek, közmondások, tájszólások, szemdialektus, nyelvtani szerkezetek, névadás; boszorkányok, boszorkányok, tabuszavak, meztelenség (erotika), tárgyak. Mindezek a tényezők együtt alkotnak páratlan folklorisztikus világképet, Tamási saját szavaival élve „kiterjesztett valóságot”, amelyet az író mindig pozitív küldetéstudatával, a derű filozófiájával terhel.

This paper presents an adapted carrier-based PWM modulation technique to be applied on both Neutral Point-Clamped (NPC) and Flying Capacitor (FC) structures of multilevel inverters. The proposed modulation leads to an improved performance on the output voltage THD. It also reduces the total loss dissipation across the semiconductors devices compared to other conventional carrier-based PWM modulation techniques, such as Phase-Shifted PWM (PSPWM) and Level-Shifted PWM (LSPWM). In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, it was developed a three-phase, three- level, 6kW prototype for both NPC and FC topologies.

Published: October 2018

A busca por suprimentos elétricos com qualidade, segurança e confiabilidade, constitui-se num dos problemas mais relevantes na atualidade. Neste cenário encontra-se a questão das descontinuidades não programadas devido à ocorrência de falhas em dispositivos diversos. Destes, destacam-se os cabos elétricos isolados, os quais ocupam grande importância tanto pelo aspecto quantitativo quando pelas extensas áreas de exposição. Focando tais componentes e reconhecendo que os mesmos constituem-se numa das principais fontes responsáveis pelas interrupções intempestivas nas instalações, este artigo encontra-se direcionado a investigações visando o estabelecimento de mecanismos preditivos para estimação do estado de degradação da isolação dos cabos. Dentre as causas responsáveis por tais fenômenos aponta-se, de maneira especial, as denominadas arborescências (water trees). Estas se apresentam como uma das principais causas para o rompimento do material dielétrico e, por conseguinte, da interrupção do suprimento de energia elétrica. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho é dedicado ao desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para o diagnóstico do estado operacional da isolação de cabos elétricos, a partir de um modelo equivalente que inclui em sua formulação as características não lineares das arborescências, conduzindo, por fim, a determinação de parâmetros de desempenho a serem empregados para o diagnóstico do estado da isolação de cabos energizado.

Authors: ÖZKAYA Muharrem
Published: October 2018

Aim The aim
of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of single-incision thoracoscopic surgery
(SITS) talc pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusion.Material and Methods We examined the medical records of all consecutive
patients with malignant pleural effusion who underwent single port
thoracoscopic pleurodesis from 2014 to 2018 at the Health Sciences University
Antalya Practice and Research Center. There were 30 males (54.5%) and 25
females (45.4%), ranging in age from 35 to 88 years (mean age: 64.0 years). Pleurodesis
was achieved by insufflation of 4g of sterile asbestos-free talc; the chest
tube was left in place a minimum of 3 days and was removed when fluid drainage
was less than 100 ml/24 h. Patients were discharged the day after chest tube
removal and a return visit was scheduled on the 30th post-operative day, for
clinical evaluation and for a new chest radiograph. Pleurodesis was regarded as
successful if the amount of the fluid on chest radiograph on the 30th
post-operative day showed a pleural effusion occupying less than one-fourth of
the pleural space.Results The
main causes of malignant pleural effusion were non-small cell lung carcinoma
and breast cancer. Major symptoms were dyspnea, chest pain and radiographic
findings of pleural fluid. The effusion was on the right side in 40 patients
(72.7%) and on the left side in 15 (27.2%). There was no intraoperative
mortality. The postoperative complication rate was 10.9% (6
patients), and included fever in 1.8% (one patient) and chest pain in 9.0% (5
patients) of the patients. Duration of postoperative pleural drainage ranged
between 3 and 13 days (mean: 3.36 days). The postoperative hospital stay ranged
from 3 to 15 days (mean: 5.6 days). A successful pleurodesis was achieved in 34
of 55 patients (61.8%).

Conclusion SITS talc
pleurodesis is an effective and safe treatment for the
management of malignant pleural effusion.

This paper focuses, first, on presenting a tool designed as a methodological proposal to help the municipal administrations to improve their administrative processes. This is possible by taking into consideration the phases that integrates it (Planning, Organization, Integration, Direction and Control) in order to identify the steps of the process where there are failures. This, however, makes it possible to detect them, apply corrective measures, and ensure that they are able to carry out processes of continuous improvement. Secondly, the document presents a study in which a methodology was applied. Here, it could be documented that for the case of the municipalities of Tamasopo, Tamuín and Ciudad Valles in the State of San Luis Potosí, a lack of systematization was detected in the administrative processes.

L’esthétique Théâtrale De L’objet Récupéré : De La Matérialité Quotidienne À La Représentation Scénique
Authors: Khalid Tadili
Published: October 2018

This paper focuses on highlighting the particular contribution of the recovered object in the change of artistic techniques and the aesthetic modalities of theatrical representation. It is an opportunity to emphasize this alliance between everyday materiality and the space of the scenic representation in the form of the recovery of the forgotten and an attribution of a second life which is relative to objects marked by obsolescence. Objects loaded from reality, familiar use, and social sharing acquired rhetorical functioning captivated by their use in unusual space. Our approach consists of stopping on this particularity of the recovered object from a comparative study of its different uses by the directors and the playwrights. This is done in order to highlight the artistic potentialities which it generates and the various aesthetic reports that it triggers in the theatrical field. This type of representation highlights the fight against the obsolescence in favor of a new spectacular load so as to mobilize the spectators' imagination. For this purpose, it seems to us that the recovered object is able to find the base of its aesthetic representation. It is about a reflection object which makes the usual the origin of a rhetorical expressivity in order to place it at the very center of the theatrical creation.
Étude comparée des interrogateurs en lama et en français
Authors: Kparou Hanoukoume Cyril
Published: October 2018

Interrogation is a Language Universal (LU), i.e., it exists in all natural languages. However, every language has undeniable particularities. Lama3 and French4, two languages from different language families, are a good illustration of these realities. A comparative study of interrogatives of both languages shows many similarities as well as dissimilarities. This article is aimed at presenting a comparative typology of interrogative markers and constructions in Lama and French. It consists of a morphosyntactic analysis of the interrogative markers and their different functions implied in the construction of interrogative sentences. French uses an interrogative copula est-ce que and the verbal inversion to form total interrogation, while Lama makes use of postpositional morphemes to formulate fundamental interrogation. Both languages form partial interrogation with adverbial and relative markers, but Lama goes further with the use of noun class interrogative markers. This study contributes to establish language universals and particularities in both languages at formal and functional levels.

Farm Safety Practices: Reports from Rural Youth in North Carolina
Authors: Faulkner Paula E. , Owens John , Brown Amber
Published: October 2018

Farms require an extensive labor force to meet production demands. In rural areas, the demand is greater, and farm operators must often rely on family members, including youth, who face unique risks due to farming practices. This quantitative study examined rural high school agricultural education programs in which students participate in family farming operations. The purpose of this study was to determine rural youths’ knowledge about farm safety and health hazards. Participants completed class activities related to farm safety and participated in farm safety demonstrations. It was found that most students reported being slightly knowledgeable about and practiced safety farming practices. It was concluded that, while most students reported having knowledge of farm safety practices, they fail to always practice them. The researchers recommend youth and at a younger age of diverse backgrounds received more farm safety practice initiatives in order to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities.
Fluoxetine Inhibits Calcium Influx in MIN6 cells
Authors: Hisab Ahmed S.
Published: October 2018

Fluoxetine, a widely used antidepressant that primarily acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, inhibits various membrane receptors and Ca 2+ influx by unknown mechanism. In addition, it has been shown that Ca2+ is control mitochondrial metabolism and respiration. Here, effect of fluoxetine on the voltage gated Calcium channels in MIN6 cells was examined. Using Ca 2+ imaging is to assess intracellular calcium. Fluoxetine 30 µM inhibited ca 2+ levels. These results indicated a tighter binding of fluoxetine to the Calcium than to the resting state of other channels, suggesting a more potent inhibition of Ca 2+ channels at physiological resting membrane potential. Altogether, these data demonstrate that clinically relevant concentrations of fluoxetine exert a voltage-dependent block of channels that may contribute to this antidepressant’s pharmacological effects.

Published: October 2018

In the land of Nema, fields show low agricultural potential due to high human and climatic pressure. To increase their agricultural production, the populations have opted either for the use of chemical fertilizer or for the supply of manure through the Agriculture-Livestock integration. This paper focuses on evaluating the effect of on-farm use of manure on groundnut pod and groundnut production, and nutrient balance at the field level. 20 square plots of 2m each were used per field on the monitored farms. The hay and pod samples were taken therein, weighed, and dried in an oven at 60° C to a constant weight. This work was carried out for both fertilized fields and unfertilized fields (controls). In these same farms, samples of manure produced were collected and analyzed. The production of peanut and groundnut pods in the fertilized fields and in the control fields shows an overall positive effect of the manure on the yields in the land of the Néma. Taking into account the figures of the average deficits, the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium balance is deficient in ground-level groundnut peanut fields. This is due to the low manure doses per hectare and its low nutrient content.

From thirty native isolates of entomopathogenic fungi, which were obtained from corpses of larvae and adults of Andean weevil (Premnotrypes vorax Hustache); two fungi with entomopathogenic characteristics were selected through laboratory tests, which will be used in a program of integrated management of this pest in the Ecuadorian inter-Andean region. The pathogenicity of the 30 isolates was determined by the mortality that they caused in larvae and adults and it was expressed in percentage; for this, a complete randomized design (CRD) was used. The LC50 and TL50 were determined by Probit analysis. The two selected isolates corresponded to: Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff 1879) Sorokin 1883 (A13) and  Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. 1912 (A21), which proved to be the best, because they caused the highest mortality in larvae of the fourth instar and adults of P. vorax. The Probit analysis showed that LC50 for A21 isolate (B. bassiana) in fourth instar larvae was obtained with a concentration of 1,75x109 spores/ml and 1,08x109 spores/ml for adults. Instead for A13 isolate (M. anisopliae), the LC50 was obtained with a concentration of 1,65x109 spores/ml for larvae and 2,42x109 spores/ml for adults. The LT50 for the selected isolates at the indicated concentrations, was 4,84 and 4,32 days for larvae with A13 and A21 isolates respectively, while, for adults, the shortest time was obtained with A21 isolate in 4.36 days, compared with A13 isolate, that delayed 20,70 days. The larval stage of P. vorax was the most susceptible to A13 isolate, on the other hand, larvae and adults were equally susceptible to A21 isolate at the indicated concentrations. According to the results obtained, the two selected isolates can be used as an alternative to the use of conventional agrochemicals, which will contribute to a more ecological production.
Spatial Equity in Devolved Healthcare: Geospatially Exploring Local Disparities in Maternal Healthcare Uptake After Devolution in Kenya
Authors: Nyangueso Samuel , Hayombe Patrick , Owino Fredrick
Published: October 2018

Devolved healthcare in Kenya was to ensure provision of proximate and easily accessible services throughout the Country, thereby improving local uptake as an outcome from patient perspective. Over five years after operationalization of the devolved healthcare, it isn’t certain whether or not there have been reducing spatial disparities and/or improving prospects of spatial equity in local utilizations of essential primary healthcare. The paper seeks to explore spatial disparities in maternal healthcare utilization and prospects of realising spatial equity after devolution of healthcare in Kenya. County of Siaya and 30 Wards therein were, respectively, selected as spatially heterogeneous and homogenous multiple cases for the study through retrospective patient-based surveys. The study leveraged on Kenyan webbased health information systems to capture spatial and attribute data on skilled birth attendance and antenatal care before and after devolution by each of the 220 registered health facility the County by Wards. Local utilization ratio, a new innovative indicator, was applied to effectively measure and analyse the spatial disparities in maternal healthcare through ordinary least square spatial regression analysis within spatio-temporal analysis realm using ArcGIS 10.3. Result showed significant positive spatial relationship in maternal service utilizations before and after devolution by Wards (p<0.01, R 2>90%). but stagnating or deteriorating spatial disparities irrespective of either increasing or decreasing uptake of the services. This trend points to lower prospects by devolved healthcare in realizing spatial health equity without improving quality and comprehensiveness of primary health services in Siaya County and related decentralised units in Kenya and beyond.

Pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) with trophectoderm biopsy is an extremely powerful technique for the determination of embryos with a high implantation potential. Patients with cryopreserved embryos seeking PGS have had limited access to this treatment due to the need to thaw, biopsy, and refreeze these embryos. This is especially true for patients with embryos cryopreserved by the slow freeze technique due to the low survival rate after thawing. In this case report, we describe the application of refreezing with the vitrification technique to embryos thawed with the slow technique and biopsied for PGS. The patient had a total of 8 blastocysts thawed, biopsied, and refrozen with vitrification. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of these embryos revealed that 4 blastocysts were euploid. The patients achieved a pregnancy on the the first frozen embryo transfer procedure that terminated after 11 days. The second frozen embryo transfer procedure resulted in the live birth of a 3800g boy, demonstrating that thaw, biopsy, and refreeze are applicable to human reproduction even in cases where embryos have been cryopreserved by the slow technique

Published: October 2018

In Morocco and unlike the first world countries, and with the absence of the ethical code of medical promotion, a lot of pharmaceutical companies use the gifts policy in order to influence the doctors prescribing to the patients. Concerning the Moroccan pharmaceutical industry, a study made by the competition council in 2011 showed that the existence of dubious practices that goes against the patient’s interest. These practices are often materialized by public relations actions between the stakeholders operating in the medical field in the doctor’s favor, especially the aspects of the heavy and expensive pathologies. While medicine is usually governed by some very strict rules of ethnics and morals, this article aims to analyze the nature of the links that governs the relationship between the pharmaceutical laboratories and the doctors of different specialties; different scales and different areas in Morocco. The article will present a set of elements that demonstrate on the basis of the sample studied that the relationship between the various stakeholders operating in the medical sector is still not healthy, and that it is strongly impacted by material interests. to the detriment of patients, hence the need to involve professional and state actors for the implementation of a strict ethical code.

The study examined the relationship between tax revenue and economic growth in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive and historical research design; secondary data for twenty-two years (1994 -2015) were collected from various issues of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and annual reports. Tax revenue as an independent variable was measured with Value Added Tax (VAT); Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT); Company Income Tax (CIT) and Custom and Excise Duties (CED) while the dependent variable was Economic Growth (EG) proxied by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Analysis was performed on data collected using Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Regression and other post estimations (Jarque-Bera test; Breusch-Godfrey LM and Ramsey Reset Test) to determine the existence of relationship between the variables.  The results of the study showed that VAT and CED had a significant relationships with economic growth (p<0.05), while CIT has negative significant relationship with economic growth (P<0.05). However, PPT had no significant relationship with economic growth.  The study concluded that the role of taxation in nation’s building is irreplaceable. Taxation remains a strong socio political and economic tool for economic prosperity. It is therefore recommended that government should engage in a complete re-organization of tax administrative machinery to reduce incidence of tax evasion and avoidance to the barest minimum in order to improve tax revenue and bring more people and establishments into the tax net. Also, tax revenue should be judiciously utilized to provide enabling environment for business survival and economic growth in Nigeria.
ODP Channel: an Open Mechanism for Supporting Media Flows in Distributed Environments

Published: October 2018

Today's distributed applications need to interoperate across different administrative domains, handle multiple types of media, and execute on different computing platforms with different processing and networking capabilities. These demands pose several challenges to the application designer. Issues such as interoperability, real-time communication, security and performance must be properly addressed. This paper addresses the issue of multimedia communication across packet switching networks such as the Internet. The paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation of a generic communication infrastructure based on the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP). The infrastructure's components are implemented as distributed objects. The implementation can be easily integrated into cooperative applications such as teleconference and telemedicine; serve as a basis for implementing stream interfaces as proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG); or still be a key component of a Distributed Processing Environment (DPE).
Segmentation Methodology of Table-Form Documents
Authors: Pereira Neves Luiz Antonio , Facon Jacques
Published: October 2018

This article presents a method for the automatic extraction of the contents of passive and/or active cells in forms. The approach is based on the analysis and recognition of the types of intersection of the lines that make up such cells. Very little a priori knowledge of the form is required. The performance of this approach depends on the correction module mechanisms for detection and correction of errors generated during the intersection identification phase. The potentialities and advantages of this approach are described and illustrated with tests carried out on different form bases.
A Software Development Model for the Automatic Generation of Classes
Authors: Scalise Eugenio , Zambrano Nancy
Published: October 2018

In this paper it is presented a software development model based on transformations that allows to derive, in an automatic way, classes in object-oriented programming languages (Ada 95, C++, Eiffel and Java) starting from formal specifications. The set of transformations that conforms the software development model are a systematic steps, which starts from the algebraic specification of a type. This algebraic specification describes the abstract behavior of a type (type of interest) by means of other type, previously specified and implemented (representation type). In a progressive way, the transformations steps allow get a program (class) nearby to the initial specification (type of interest). These transformations obtain -in the first step- an intermediate specification (class specification) that it describes the operations of the type of interest by means of pre and post-conditions. Then, the intermediate specification is used to obtain imperative code in language-independent notation (pseudo-class); and finally the pseudo-class is transformed to any object- oriented programming language for which it has been defined transformations.
Efectos de la descentralización sobre la acumulación de infraestructura pública: el caso de España
Authors: Aray Henry
Published: October 2018

Antecedentes: España es un país altamente descentralizado. Recientemente, el debate sobre la descentralización se ha visto reforzado por la reclamación de independencia liderada por las autoridades del gobierno de Cataluña. Además, las declaraciones de algunos políticos a favor y en contra de avanzar en el proceso de descentralización han contribuido a la polémica del debate. La asignación de infraestructura pública no es ajena a este discurso.Metodología: se especifica una ecuación no lineal que permite controlar por los criterios tradicionales para la asignación de infraestructura pública: el desarrollo regional, las necesidades especiales de infraestructura, la eficiencia o la productividad del stock de capital público y efectos políticos.Resultados: la autonomía financiera y las competencias traspasadas afectan positivamente la acumulación de infraestructura pública regional. No obstante, sus contribuciones marginales son decrecientes.Conclusiones: la evidencia empírica podría sugerir umbrales en el proceso de descentralización. Por un lado, los resultados relacionados con la autonomía financiera son mucho más fuertes para las comunidades autónomas consideradas como las más rezagadas en el proceso de descentralización fiscal. Por otro lado, el resto de las comunidades presentan resultados más fuertes respecto de la descentralización administrativa.
