Mercury Elemental Storage Tank Design
Authors: Restiawaty Elvi , Bindar Yazid , Aslan Christian , Masduqi Alif Lutfia
Published: July 2020

Mercury is a liquid metal that has properties such as toxic, persistent, bioaccumulating, and its vapor can spread around sources so that it is harmful to humans. Despite having dangerous properties, mercury is found in some goods, products, and also waste. Mercury is indicated to be used in several industries, such as artisanal and small-scale gold mining and coal-fired steam power plants. Based on health and environmental considerations, mercury must ultimately be removed from the eco cycle. Mercury storage systems in the long term must be solved so that sustainable development for future generations can be achieved. Currently, there is still no mercury storage system in Indonesia with a good standard design, so the conceptual design study of the mercury elemental storage system is important. In this paper, the storage tanks with a mercury capacity of 35 kilograms, one tonne, and two tonnes were designed to meet mercury storage standards. Several design criteria were used as model development, such as storage capacity, height level, safety factor material, storage temperature, tank life span, and symbols and label. The design results presented in this paper are dimension and engineering drawing of the storage tanks and attributes like spill tray, pallet, and rack.Keywords: environment; hazardous and toxic material; Indonesia; mercury; storage tanks

Authors: Shofinita Dian , Bindar Yasid , Samadhi Tjokorde Walmiki , Jaelawijaya Arwinda Aprillia , Fawwaz Mifta
Published: July 2020

This study aims to produce natural pigments for food prepared from dragon fruit skin by extraction and freeze-drying and to assess the effect of additional ethanol as extraction solvent on the process yield. During extraction stage, the effect of solvent (pure water and additional ethanol) on the yield of bioactive materials was assessed. Furthermore, during freeze-drying, the effect of maltodextrin addition as carrier agent on the quality of powder has also been evaluated. It has been found that the addition of ethanol as extraction co-solvent may give a positive effect on the yield of bioactive materials in the dragon fruit skin extracts, including the contents of anthocyanin, betacyanin, and total phenolic compounds. Regarding freeze drying, it was found that high recoveries of bioactive materials (84-92%) had been achieved, which indicates that freeze-drying may be suitable for drying such heat-sensitive materials. In addition, it was found that the addition of 10% maltodextrin as carrier agent may decrease the moisture content of the powder significantly, up to 8.162.12%, which is beneficial for its storage stability.Keywords: betacyanin; food additives; dragon fruit; extraction; anthocyanin.
Compensation for Non-Pecuniary Loss in Connection with the Disclosure of Medical Confidentiality
Authors: Świderska Małgorzata
Published: July 2020

The aim of this paper is to analyze possible legal grounds for compensation of non-pecuniary loss in the case of violation of the patient’s right to medical confidentiality, expressed in the provisions of Article 13-14 of the Act on Patient’s Rights and the Patient Ombudsman of 6 November 2008 and confirmed from the perspective of the doctor’s duty in Article 40 of the Act on Professions of Physician and Dentist of 5 December 1996. In the opinion of the author, these may be general provisions relating to compensation for the harm suffered in connection with the infringement of personal goods, i.e. Article 448 of the Civil Code in connection with Article 415 and Article 416 of the Civil Code (tort regime). This legal basis is related to the requirement of proving that the violation of the right to medical confidentiality is detrimental to the sphere of personal rights in a particular case. Another basis is the provisions of Article 4 paragraph 1 of the Act on Patient Rights and the Patient Ombudsman. Citing this legal basis is - in turn - connected with the requirement to prove a culpable infringement of a patient’s rights, which may also take place when data contained in medical records are disclosed. Apart from that, it is also possible to have an alternative concurrence of claims in the case of infringement of yet another personal good (health) in connection with the occurrence of a health disorder caused by the disclosure of medical confidentiality (Article 445 of the Civil Code).
Criminal Law Protection of Medical Data
Authors: Kubiak Rafał
Published: July 2020

The paper shows the areas of criminal law protection of medical data, both in the context of respect for medical confidentiality and reliability of documents. The first part presents the crime of disclosing professional secrecy, styled in Article 266 § 1 of the Criminal Code. In this respect the circle of entities which may be the perpetrators of this act and its subject matter is discussed in more detail. The next section presents criminal law protection of medical data as sensitive personal data. Article 107, paragraph 2 of the Act on the protection of personal data has been exegesisated, indicating the field of penalization of the act sanctioned in it. The last fragment is devoted to protecting the credibility of medical records. It presents the scope of responsibility for the so-called certification of the truth (Article 271 § 1 of the Penal Code). It points out the shortcomings of this provision resulting from the use of the normative clause “other person entitled to issue a document” in the description of the act. Establishing this circumstance may be difficult both for a medical officer and for the bodies appointed to prosecute crimes. These problems result from the multiplicity of legal acts, of different rank, which may create such authorization. Therefore, it has been postulated that medical-legal regulations concerning exceptions to medical confidentiality and competence to issue documents containing medical data should be tidied up and unified.
Providing Information on a Child’s Condition and Respect for the Right to Self-Determination and Privacy of a Minor Patient
Authors: Haberko Joanna
Published: July 2020

The article covers the issue of providing information on the state of health in a situation where the patient is a minor. The child does not have actual and formal possibilities to make decisions independently. The child cannot make decisions regarding treatment, but he/she may make other decisions as part of informative self-determination. The purpose of the work is to show situations where a child, regardless of age, may agree to inform other people about his or her health. The author also presents instruments to secure the right to intimacy and privacy of minor patients.
¿Quiénes somos? Construyendo identidades desde la investigación para la paz
Authors: Jiménez Arenas Juan Manuel
Published: July 2020

Las identidades o, para ser más imprecisos, las relaciones de pertenencia son una característica que es perceptible en todas las entidades humanas; tradicionalmente, se ha planteado su naturaleza diferenciadora y excluyente. No obstante, desde la investigación para la paz —concretamente desde la doble perspectiva de la paz imperfecta y los giros epistemológico y ontológico— y dialogando con la complejidad y la transmodernidad, planteamos que otras formas de concebir las identidades no solo son posibles, sino que ya existen. Para ello, hemos de preguntarnos cómo somos los seres humanos y cómo concebimos el poder. Desde una perspectiva crítica, radical, que nos permite la investigación para la paz, podemos interpretar que los(as) otros(as) forman parte consustancial del nosotros(as). Partiremos de que las identidades son construcciones sociales que se pergeñan dentro de un marco sistémico para condicionar los roles mediante los cuales los diferentes actores orientan sus representaciones y sus acciones. Esto nos permite resaltar que el carácter excluyente, jerárquico y estanco no es consustancial a las identidades. Como metáforas utilizaré la de las identidades-amalgamas y la de las identidades-caleidoscopio: identidades complejas, rizomáticas, basadas en lo que nos hacemos, conscientes de la diferencia, pero que evitan la desigualdad.
Educación social escolar en la construcción de cultura y educación para la paz: propuestas metodológicas de intervención socioeducativa
Authors: García-Vita María del Mar , Añaños Fanny T. , Medina García Marta
Published: July 2020

La educación y cultura de paz se han instalado sólidamente en los contextos escolares a escala internacional y desde una multiplicidad de abordajes existentes: convivencia escolar, educación para la ciudadanía y derechos humanos, gestión o resolución de conflictos, estrategias participativas, entre otras. Ello es una muestra de la ampliación y complejización de los escenarios y actores educativos, así como de la realidad social, que constituye un terreno idóneo para el afianzamiento de propuestas desde la educación social. Dichas propuestas conciben la escuela como un espacio comunitario desde el cual se pueden construir apuestas educativas asentadas en la cultura de paz para la escuela y su entorno. El presente trabajo pretende hacer una revisión sobre el tema de la educación y cultura de paz en instituciones educativas, y cómo se pueden elaborar propuestas para su complementariedad, fortalecimiento y eficacia desde la educación social escolar.
Development Programs with a Territorial-based Approach in Colombia: An Agonistic multi-level Political Reconciliation Analysis
Authors: Galindo Villarreal Juliana Emilia
Published: July 2020

This article analyses the Development Programs with a Territorial-based Approach in Colombia, established in Item One of the 2016 Final Agreement to End Conflict and Build Peace, from the notion of political reconciliation. It argues that, in the current complex post-agreement setting, the program can be positioned as a space for political reconciliation as long as an agonistic multi-level approach is adopted. Only through the simultaneous and comprehensive implementation of institutional, constitutional, and relational peacebuilding efforts, the recognition of both the conflictual relations among all actors and the relevance of public contestation would be possible, so as to advance in the participatory territorial planning for peace and its successful completion. The dynamics in the Catatumbo region, one of the focalized zones for the program, demonstrate the need for applying an alternative and critical perspective of political reconciliation in order to move towards a sustainable and long-lasting peace in Colombia based on the interconnection between peace, reconciliation, and development.
Paz, territorio, Estado local y empresariado. Experiencias con el mecanismo de Obras por Impuestos en Risaralda
Authors: Parra Orlando
Published: July 2020

Teniendo por objetivo establecer cómo se relacionan los empresarios de Risaralda con la construcción de la paz territorial en el departamento –especialmente en los municipios de las zonas más afectadas por el conflicto armado en Colombia (Zomac)–, se realizaron 25 entrevistas a empresarios y actores gremiales, territoriales y estatales de diversa índole. Esto permitió conocer que, si bien existe un interés de buena parte del empresariado (y de sus gremios) en este departamento para vincularse con el mecanismo de Obras por Impuestos y con las exenciones tributarias, como manera de aportar en las Zomac en favor de la construcción de la paz territorial, su proceso de implementación ha sido lento y complejo en el nuevo ambiente de la paz con legalidad.

Authors: Penagos Medina Paula Julieth
Published: July 2020

El departamento del Caquetá ha sido uno de los territorios más afectados por el conflicto armado colombiano, hecho que debería ser directamente proporcional al esfuerzo institucional por la recuperación social y el desarrollo de las comunidades en el posconflicto. En ese orden de ideas, el Ejército Nacional, a través de su programa Fe en Colombia, realiza acciones con miras a fortalecer las relaciones cívico-militares e incidir en el desarrollo del departamento a través de la asunción de nuevas funciones que responden a un contexto en transformación y un concepto de seguridad ampliado. Este texto examina el rol de dicha institución en la generación de desarrollo en el Caquetá a partir de la iniciativa Fe en Colombia.
Increasing the electron beam melting process efficiency in a scull crucible
Authors: Goryslavets Yu.N. , Glukhenkyi A.І. , Bondar A.І. , Ladokhin S.V. , Voron М.М. , Likhatskyi R.F.
Published: July 2020

The paper considers the issues of increasing the efficiency of electron beam scull melting (EBSM) by optimizing the param-eters of electromagnetic stirring (EMS) of the melt. The example of titanium melt preparation process in a copper water-cooled sectional crucible is shown on example of an EMS system consisting of two coils. The analysis of melting and casting technological parameters, as well as modeling of temperature and hydrodynamic processes, are reviewed. The optimum parameters of a liquid metal bath in the formed volume of metal inside the scull are determined, after which the most effective growth of the liquid metal amount could be achieved. The expediency of increasing the efficiency of electromagnetic stirring by controlling the phase shift angle between the electrical voltages fed by the adjacent coils of the crucible electromagnetic stirring system is shown. It has been determined and shown that in the process of melt bath forming, it is advisable to change its motion directions at different stages of the process. The conditions of the highest energy efficiency of the melting process, which are to maintain a moderate thickness of the scull side walls, are investigated. This feature is up to reduce the heat dis-sipation from the melt and also to reduce the intensity and the area of evaporation of the metal under the action of electron beam. This approach also improves the lifetime of the crucible and reduces the risk of accidents. The possibility of reducing the melting time by introducing into the crucible a fixed mass of the melt obtained in another melting tank after preheating the charge with an electron beam to a temperature at which the explosive emission of the melt is eliminated is considered.
Tramas do tempo no telejornalismo local: temporalidades sociais no programa Terra de Minas
Authors: Da Silva Fernanda Mauricio
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a forma como o programa Terra de Minas (TV Globo Minas) aborda diferentes temporalidades como forma de estabelecer uma imagem da cidade de Belo Horizonte. A partir das contribuições dos Estudos Culturais, este artigo assume o passado como algo não finalizado, mas é convocado no presente podendo assumir lugares de disputa e oposição às formas dominantes. Do mesmo modo, o futuro pode ser vivido no presente, não como algo projetado, mas como aquilo que reconfigura elementos do dominante ou que instaura algo novo. A análise textual do programa, embasada em seus elementos visuais, sonoros e verbais, sinaliza para pelo menos três convocações das temporalidades sociais: o passado como patrimônio, o futuro como aprimoramento do passado e o passado como construção dos sujeitos.

Published: July 2020

AIMS: To establish the frequency potentially inappropriate medications use and the associated factors, such as signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit among middle-aged and elderly people.METHODS: A cross-sectional population study was performed with 2,350 people, aged between 55-103 years, registered in the primary health care. Potentially inappropriate medications were defined by updated 2019 Beers criteria. Studied variables were sociodemographic, lifestyle and health, and signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit. Multinomial regression analysis was executed.RESULTS: The frequency of potentially inappropriate medications use was 65.4%. Former and current smokers, regular self-perception of health, polypharmacy, and individuals with signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit were significantly associated with potentially inappropriate medications use. Antiarrhythmics, antihistamines and antiadrenergic agents were the highest potentially inappropriate medications classes used for individuals with signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit.CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of use of potentially inappropriate medications is high among middle-aged people, a population that was previously under-researched, as well as among elderly people. Cognitive impairment alone or together with depression symptoms were associated factor for a potentially inappropriate medications use. Knowledge of the pharmacoepidemiology of potentially inappropriate medications is an important for the promotion of the rational use of drugs in public health.
Everything is about the story
Authors: Rubio Martinez Rodrigo
Published: July 2020

Everything in life is about the story, from our every day, our holidays and trips, to going to the theater or the movies. Everything is about the story and attending a simulation-based course is not the exception. From designing and living, a scenario all the way to debriefing and to the whole course experience at the end the participant will take away the story, will remember the story and will share the story. This story has to be designed to the details, has to be told through languages and has an objective centered on the learner. In this reflection, I discuss with the reader my opinion regarding the relevance of creating a memorable story because at the end it is all about the story.
Mohammed Ali, ʿƎmanini (“Trust me”): Linguistic features of a novel in Tigre
Authors: Lusini Gianfrancesco
Published: July 2020

The novel ʿƎmanini (“Trust me”) by Mohammed Ali Ibrahim Mohammed (born 1966) is the first work written in Tigre by a native speaker. This is a true literary and linguistic experiment, which will greatly enrich our knowledge of the Tǝgrāyǝt grammar and vocabulary, specifically its little known variant spoken among the Beni ʿAmǝr. Several phonetic, morphological, syntactical and lexical peculiarities of the text are here examined in order to reveal whether they are dictated by linguistic constraints (lexico-semantic, grammatical or pragmatic), or have been chosen by the author as stylistic devices for reasons of expressiveness. Passages of ʿƎmanini are here published, translated and commented.
Ein wenig erforschter aksumitischer Platz in Däbrä Gärgiš, ʿAddi Daʿǝro, Tǝgray
Authors: Smidt Wolbert G.C.
Published: July 2020

This article focuses on an ancient, yet unexplored Aksumite site in Eastern Tigray, visited during an ethnohistorical research carried out between 2004 and 2006. It lies at an unknown ancient (Aksumite) route and might have been the seat of a provincial leader. The site lies in an area not known yet for Aksumite ruins, as it lies rather remote from main routes today. The site consists of a stelae and a ruin hill with remains of an unidentified ancient building. This publication aims at awaking interest in research on that site, including researching oral sources. The interest lies in the possibility to learn more about the provinces of Aksum.

Published: July 2020

In Aethiopica 10 (2007) Gianfrancesco Lusini analysed and translated a passage from the new novel written in Tigre by Mohammad-Ali Ibrahim Mohammad. In very many cases I would prefer a different transcription and a different grammatical explanation, e.g. concerning the lengthening of consonants. Similarly the aʾa spelling of verbal forms in the A- and At-stems does not have its origin in the author’s “own convention” but it reflects an old orthographic and dialectal peculiarity.

Nominal Number Marking in Wolane
Authors: Meyer Ronny
Published: July 2020

Countable common nouns in the East Gurage language Wolane are usually unmarked for number and belong to one of three noun classes based on the inherent gender feature of the nouns. First, it will be argued that morphological plural marking indicates plurality and specificity. Second, it will be shown that the interaction between the three noun classes and definiteness has various pragmatic effects. Finally, the findings for Wolane are compared with related East Gurage languages.

A Gǝʿǝz Inscription from Ashkelon
Authors: Mulugetta Meley
Published: July 2020

An apotropaic Ethiopic inscription was found in the National Park of Ashkelon in 1998, near an absorbtion center for Ethiopian Jewish immigrants (also known as Betä Israʾel). Although the piece is clearly of Betä Israʾel origin, it incorporates symbolisms from Christian or pre-Christian sources, thus demonstrating the syncretic elements in Betä Israʾel religion. The reproduction of Ethiopic prayers of this sort is undoubtedly the last of its kind with the fastly changing religious practices of Betä Israʾel in Israel.

Sharp upper bounds of $A_\alpha$-spectral radius of cacti with given pendant vertices
Authors: WANG Shaohui , WANG Chunxiang , LİU Jia-bao
Published: July 2020

For $ \alpha \in [0,1]$, let $A_{\alpha}(G) = \alpha D(G) +(1-\alpha)A(G)$ be $A_{\alpha}$-matrix, where $A(G)$ is the adjacent matrix and $D(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of the degrees of a graph $G$. Clearly, $A_{0} (G)$ is the adjacent matrix and $2 A_{\frac{1}{2}}$ is the signless Laplacian matrix. A connected graph is a cactus graph if any two cycles of $G$ have at most one common vertex. We first propose the result for subdivision graphs, and determine the cacti maximizing $A_{\alpha}$-spectral radius subject to fixed pendant vertices. In addition, the corresponding extremal graphs are provided. As consequences, we determine the graph with the $A_{\alpha}$-spectral radius among all the cacti with $n$ vertices; we also characterize the $n$-vertex cacti with a perfect matching having the largest $A_{\alpha}$-spectral radius.
Assessment of water quality status of some water bodies in Kolkata
Authors: Ghosh Phanibhusan , Mandal Sudipto
Published: July 2020

The water quality status of some water bodies in Kolkata were assessed during dry season through the analysis of various physico-chemical and biological components. Studies revealed that water of all the ponds were alkaline with pH value ranging from 7.80 to 8.41 at water temperature
between 28.0 and 28.5. Total Dissolved solids (TDS) varied from 310 to 710 mg/L with higher in Science city (710 mg/L), followed by Victoria (366 mg/L), B.B.D.Bag (310 mg/L) and Minto park (250 mg/L). Minimum of 56% dissolved oxygen saturation values were observed in the pond of Science city
implying presence of higher oxygen demanding waste and maximum (96%) in B.B.D.Bag indicating lowest level of reducing substances. Lower ratios of BOD/COD ranging from 0.18 to 0.29 implied the presence of comparatively higher level of non-biodegradable organic matter in water. According to
National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NSF-WQI) values, water quality of two ponds (Victoria and Minto park) were classified as good to excellent, one (B.B.D.Bag) is medium to good and another (Science city) is bad which corresponded to the class A, B and C respectively as classified
by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
An Eco Friendly Substitute of Asphalt Binder – Review
Authors: Paul Brajit , Roy Choudhury Dibakar , Ray Rajdeep , Roy Abhisek , Banerjee Sayak
Published: July 2020

The review focuses on the potential use of wood lignin as a partial substitute and performance enhancer in asphalt binders. The aim behind this reviews to fight issues like durability, strength and the reduction in aquifer recharging. Lignin is a dead natural polymer occurring in the
secondary cell wall of plant cells. During polymerisation, monlignols accumulate in a non uniform manner, thus leaving behind pores in the structure. Using this property in our asphalt binders would render roads as permeable to water. But lignin being hydrophobic in nature, the material would
not corrode due to water actions, unlike commonly used bitumen. Various tests have been conducted to generate aging conditions on test using lignin as asphalt binder. All of them show that lignin addition to binder brings stiffness. Lignin also positively effects high temperature rutting performance,
without adversely affecting low temperature. Lignin additionally also shows better recovery than bitumen as binder. The fatigue resistance of surface is negatively affected by lignin. Basically the result of various studies suggests that wood lignin is a promising substitution of bitumen as
binder, coming with economic savings and environmental benefits.
WAYS OF COPING WITH STRESS AND PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT AMONG MOTHERS OF CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
Authors: AKÇA OYMAK Huriye , TAŞ ARSLAN Fatma
Published: July 2020

Aim: The objective of this study was to determine levels of perceived social support and ways of coping with stress in mothers of children with intellectual disability.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with mothers of children with intellectual disability who were registered in two vocational training centres. The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 84 mothers of children with intellectual disability. Data were collected the Scale of Ways of Coping with Stress, and with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support.
Results: It was found that as support from friends, significant others, and total perceived social support increased in mothers of children with intellectual disability, the use of effective ways of coping with stress increased (p<.05). As the children’s age increased, the mothers’ use of effective methods for stress increased (p<.05). Mothers who had boys and difficulties regarding the future had low levels of perceived social support (p<.05).
Conclusion: Social support provided by friends or significant others was important for coping with stress effectively in mothers of children with intellectual disability.
Analysis of slope instability processes though comparative between limit equilibrium and finite element methods
Authors: Leguizamón Barreto Luis Carlos , Ménendez Tellez Juan José
Published: July 2020

Introduction: The article presents research results on the analysis of slope instability processes, conducted at the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia in 2019. Problem: Slope instability processes are permanently present in the state of Boyacá – Colombia. The stability analysis through the application of conventional limit equilibrium methods does not reflect the real conditions of mechanical resistance of the materials found. Aim: Analyze slope instability processes utilizing the finite element method in two critical spots located on the road that connects the city of Tunja with the town of Miraflores. Methods: Start with the search and compilation of information from critical spots with relevant geotechnical characterization on roads in the state, thereby permitting the identification of two unstable critical spots. With the use of geological, geotechnical and hydrological information, the mechanical behavior of the materials is modelled through the software Slide and Midas GTS NX. Results: The estimation of material stability through the finite element method shows more reliable results compared to the actual behavior of the studied locations and compared to the methods based on limit equilibrium. Conclusion:The use of this numerical simulation technique is recommended to replace conventional methods, being an affordable and effective tool for the analysis of instability processes. Originality: Most analyses of instability processes conducted in the state of Boyacá – Colombiado not use the finite element method. Limitations: The estimation of material stability is based on a constitutive model for soil and another for rock.
Trust as a missing link between quality of work life and subjective well-being
Authors: Agarwal Shivani
Published: July 2020

Introduction:The research paper “Trust as a missing link between Quality of work life and Subjective well-being”, was developed at KIET School of Management, KIET Group of Institutions in the year 2019.
Problem:Organizations have initiated the search for intervening strategies whenproviding primed quality of work life to retain potential employees for heightened productivity, efficiency, effectiveness and performance.
Objective:The main aim of thisstudy is to examine the influence of quality of work life on subjective well-being of employees. Furthermore, the present study also explores the aforementionedassociation with the mediating effect of trust.
Methodology:The study is comprised of 350 managers working in IT industries. The participants were a convenient purposive sample. The data wasanalyzed by a number of statistical techniques such as: Pearson’s Product Moment Method and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis, which were used to explore the influence of quality of work life on trust and subjective well-being.
Conclusion:This study makes a theoretical contribution in understanding trust as a missing link between QWL and subjective well-being.
Originality:The most important aspect which binds an employee to the organization is the level of trust and the well-being of employees at the workplace.This perspective has currently been neglected by the management practitioners and it can be stated that low levels of trust and well-being, when overflowing into the other domains of life,lead to further distrust and life dissatisfaction and makes an employee less productive and incompetent when confrontinglife challenges.
Restrictions:The research paper is entirely relianton cross-sectional data that could also be extended while selecting larger multicultural samples for the better understanding and measurement of cognitive processes across organizational cultures.
Territory management based on the assessment of environmental noise in near areas to two medical centers on zone planning units 44 and 47 in Bogotá
Authors: Acevedo Buitrago Baudilio , Ortíz Bernal Deisy Mireya , Ramírez Trujillo Estefanía
Published: July 2020

Introduction:This article shows the evaluation of environmental noise around the medical centers located in the UPZ Americas and Kennedy Central - Bogotá, and the proposal of some actions related to the planning of the territory as a strategy for mitigation. Problem:The Kennedy town has presented high levels of environmental noise, which is a worrying aspect due to its correlation with the effects on people's health. Objective:This research was conducted for the purpose of compiling updated information on environmental noise in the Kennedy locality and evaluating regulatory compliance and identifing the phenomena to establish actions that lead to its mitigation. Methodology:The measurement process was guided under the guidelines of ISO 1996:1 and the parameters established in Res. 627/2006 of the Ministry of Environment. Results:The ambient noise levels exceed the maximum permissible limits (55 dB) on the different days and hours of measurement. It was also determined that this phenomenon is mainly related to high vehicular flow as well as formal and informal commercial activities around medical centers. Conclusion:There is no regulatory compliance in relation to environmental noise and the territorial plan established in the UPZ. The suggested actions are: use of parks to plant native trees that act as biological barriers, non-use of surrounding streets as secondary traffic roads and reorganization of trade activities. Originality:Updated environmental noise data was obtained around medical centers in Kennedy and problems of inappropriate growth and development were identified. Limitations:Lack of information on environmental noise measurements in other sectors of the area.
Variability in Rainfall Prediction Quality Over Time
Authors: Ekanayake Jayalath Bandara , Dananjali Thanuja
Published: July 2020

Many rainfall prediction models have been proposed. The common methodology followed by those models is that the model is trained using the data prior to the target and tested the model in one or few time points and claimed that the model is generalized. However, this project shows that the above procedure is not sufficient to generalize rainfall prediction models as in some target periods the models fail to achieve a decent prediction quality. The models--Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), M5P and Linear Regression--were trained and tested in all possible combinations of targets and training periods from the weather data collected between the year 2002 and 2015 from the station located at Badulla, Sri Lanka. The prediction quality of the models was measured using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and visualize them in heat-maps to show that the prediction quality varies over the targets and length of the training periods. This indicates that testing models in one or a few time points is not sufficient to generalize the models. Further, the reasons for such drastic changes in prediction quality will be investigated in our future projects.

The objective of the study is to clarify the criteria for selection of nominated denotations and the form for submission of proper names for indexes contained in the printed books of different functional types of literature, simultaneously with consistent conceptualization of representative publishing strategies.

Methods of the study. The research was conducted on the basis of books prepared for printing by the Ukrainian publishers, involving the issues of publishing theory, practice and editing, that reflected the contemporary theoretical reflection focused on interdisciplinarity. The use of the system method made it possible to correlate the best practices of editorics and onomastics. The critical analysis of the forms of index sections in book editions was conducted with the use of agreed theoretical constructs caused by the deduction method.

Results and conclusions. The theoretical generalizations of the study will cause the interpenetra-tion of approaches of editorics and onomastics in the context of multidimensional study of onyms, which will not only significantly increase understanding of the specifics of the areal functioning of onomasticon of the printed book, but will have a purely practical effect, since it will allow to understand more deeply the linguo-cognitive mechanisms of formation and func-tioning of proprial units, to understand more clearly the practice of establishing the lexical-semantic form of index sections, as well as the normative cases of use of inversion in formula-tion of index sections in book editions. The linguistic status of a nomen as a constituent of the subsidiaries and the index section has not been investigated at all, which is caused by the pe-riphery of onomasticon of the printed book in the general discourse of onomastics. The formula-tion specificity of index sections that include the onyms was studied for the first time, which determined its uniqueness, novelty and innovativeness.
OS DESAFIOS DO FEDERALISMO MUNICIPALISTA FRENTE A CRISE MIGRATÓRIA VENEZUELANA: A COOPERAÇÃO INTERFEDERATIVA EM POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE ACOLHIMENTO

Roraima é uma das principais portas de entrada para os venezuelanos, que enfrentam uma dramática crise humanitária. Esta onda migratória ocasionou aumento na prestação de serviços públicos que já estavam sobrecarregados. Uma das soluções foi a criação do Plano de Interiorização para realocar os sujeitos dentro do Brasil. O objetivo está em analisar a emergência/necessidade de um federalismo cooperativo municipalista. O problema reside na análise desse modelo e na criação do plano, observando se esses fatores contribuem para a efetivação de políticas públicas de acolhimento para migrantes e refugiados venezuelanos. A estrutura metodológica dedutiva e hermenêutica analisa a estrutura do estado federal cooperativo, a autonomia financeira e interdependência federativa; e a necessidade de efetivação de políticas públicas de acolhimento. Em conclusão aponta-se a cooperação como meio de consecução, bem como a criação de um fundo compensatório que minimizaria os gastos quando ocorressem ondas migratórias para o Brasil.
"Stay on Your Path, Young Man"

Almost ten years ago I participated in the conference whose proceedings would become the volume Stanley Cavell and Literary Studies: Consequences of Skepticism. Stanley sat directly in front of me and listened attentively to my talk, thrilling and scary, not to say awkward, reading out “Cavell writes...” and “Cavell says...” with the man right there. After the Q and A, someone, I don't remember who, brought me over and introduced us. Stanley shook my hand and with the other patted my shoulder and said, with a broad smile, “Stay on your path, young man.”

O biodiesel tem-se destacado como uma das opções mais viáveis para promover a gradativa redução do consumo de combustíveis fósseis. Neste contexto, as microalgas surgem como matéria-prima promissora, uma vez que apresentam produtividade de lipídios superior à das oleaginosas utilizadas na produção deste biocombustível, além da capacidade de biorremediação de águas residuárias e de grande absorção de CO2. Contudo, o elevado custo dos nutrientes empregados na preparação dos meios de cultivos dificulta a implementação em escala real. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o crescimento da microalga Scenedesmus acuminatus em três meios de cultura: dois sintéticos, Bold´s Basal Medium (BBM) e Wright’s Cryptophyte (WC), e um alternativo, com efluente de tratamento anaeróbio de esgoto doméstico do reator tipo Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB), a fim de minimizar os custos e viabilizar a produção de biodiesel. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, o cultivo com efluente de UASB obteve a maior densidade celular e não apresentou diferenças estatisticamente significativas em relação aos meios sintéticos, o que revela uma alternativa viável de cultivo. Diante disso, concluiu-se que a utilização de resíduos líquidos oriundos do tratamento anaeróbio de esgoto doméstico pode aumentar a viabilidade dos cultivos com vistas à produção de biodiesel, uma vez que permitem redução de custos ao substituir os meios sintéticos.

O tratamento de estacas com extrato de tiririca (Cyperus rotundus L.) tem sido recomendado como alternativa para estimular o enraizamento de várias espécies, devido sua eficiência e baixo custo, contudo, pesquisas envolvendo métodos alternativos para estimular o enraizamento de estacas de limão-Tahiti (Citrus latifólia Tanaka) são escassas. Portanto, o objetivo foi avaliar os efeitos de uma técnica alternativa de propagação de mudas de estacas de limão-Tahiti por meio de enraizamento, com o uso de extrato de tiririca. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram compostos por testemunha (estacas tratadas com água destilada) e tratamento de estacas com quatro extratos de tiririca, nas concentrações de: 75 g/L (25%), 150 g/L (50%), 225 g/L (75%) e 300 g/L (100%). Cada unidade experimental foi constituída por seis estacas. As avaliações foram realizadas 90 dias após o plantio, sendo mensurados os seguintes parâmetros: porcentagem de estacas enraizadas; número de raízes por estaca; comprimento das três maiores raízes por estaca; porcentagem de estacas com calos; porcentagem de estacas vivas; porcentagem de estacas não viáveis; quantidade de folhas por estacas; massa verde (%) e massa seca (%). O extrato de tiririca não influenciou o enraizamento das estacas de limão-Tahiti. Percentuais de estacas vivas foram significativamente maiores na concentração de 225 g/L (75%), indicando que o extrato não exerceu efeito alelopático sobre o desenvolvimento e sobrevivência das estacas. Contudo, faz-se necessário estudos, para verificar a concentração ideal do extrato para o enraizamento de estacas de limão-Tahiti.

As intoxicações por agrotóxicos resultam da exposição ocupacional dos trabalhadores rurais, principalmente nas áreas agrícolas. Para reduzir esses problemas é necessário o uso de estratégias de monitoramento e controle do manejo racional dos produtos químicos utilizados. O objetivou-se com o trabalho avaliar o perfil ocupacional dos trabalhadores rurais por meio de entrevistas e exames toxicológicos. O estudo caracteriza-se por uma pesquisa aplicada, de característica exploratória, com procedimento de levantamento a partir de uma amostra com 50 agricultores. Observou-se maioria dos fatores de riscos aos trabalhadores está intrinsecamente relacionada, pois quando são verificadas as correlações causais da exposição e intoxicação dos agricultores, verificamos que a baixa escolaridade associada à carência técnica de instrução do uso racional dos agrotóxicos, o tempo prolongado de exposição e o não uso de EPIs, contribuem para o perfil toxicológico dos trabalhadores rurais. Em relação às análises laboratoriais foi possível observar que parte dos trabalhadores apresentava intoxicação aguda, verificada através da análise da colinesterase, porém, não foi suficiente para causar danos as funções renais e hepáticas. Contudo, podendo ocorrer com o uso crônico e recorrente dessas substâncias químicas. Portanto, é necessário uma maior fiscalização na aplicação dos agrotóxicos no campo, treinamento dos trabalhadores rurais sobre uso correto dos insumos agrícolas e estratégias de intervenção pelos órgãos de saúde e meio ambiente.

Com objetivo de quantificar a divergência genética entre 22 acessos de feijão-guandu por meio da análise de agrupamentos com base em caracteres morfoagronômicos, além de indicar cruzamentos mais promissores para dar continuidade ao programa de melhoramento da espécie de feijão- guandu foi realizado a presente pesquisa. O delineamento experimental empregado foi o delineamento inteiramente casualizado - DIC. Foi realizado o teste de agrupamento de médias, segundo Scott e Knott a 5% de probabilidade. Os dados de médias dos caracteres desses acessos foram submetidos à análise de divergência genética. Foi aplicado o método de agrupamento pela ligação média entre grupos (UPGMA), utilizando a distância generalizada de Mahalanobis (D2) e método de agrupamento de Tocher. A importância relativa dos caracteres, também foram avaliadas. Existe ampla variabilidade genética entre os acessos de feijão-guandu, presentes no banco de germoplasma, e facilmente identificada por meio de caracteres morfoagronômicos. Quatro grupos distintos de acessos de feijão-guandu foram detectados, evidenciando a existência de diversidade entre os acessos. Os cruzamentos mais promissores são aqueles envolvendo como parentais os acessos dos grupos distintos e mais divergentes: Grupos IV e I, IV e II, IV e III, III e II, e II e I. O número de dias para o florescimento foi o caractere que mais contribuiu para divergência genética.
