Thinking Creatively: From Nursing Education to Practice
Authors: Kalischuk Ruth Grant , Thorpe Karran
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Creative thinking is a critical link in the teachinglearning process, one that enhances problem solving in nursing practice. This article describes a conceptualization of creativity based on focus groups with 12 post-RN students and two nurse educators. Inherent within the major theme, striving for balance, were three subthemes-enhancing self-esteem, working within structure, and making time for reflection (i.e., process). When participants achieved balance, both personally and professionally, they experienced increased creative energy that resulted in creative expression, subsequently displayed in educational endeavors and clinical practice (i.e., product). Strategies for fostering creativity and criteria for evaluating creativity are offered, and implications for nurse educators, managers, and practitioners are examined.
Internal E-Mail: An Avenue of Educational Opportunity
Authors: Pastuszak Janice , Rodowicz Mary O'Brien
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Internal e-mail systems offer an ideal opportunity to provide cost-effective, user-friendly educational experiences for employees. This article describes the use of computer technology to reach employees working different hours and in a variety of professional and nonprofessional roles. Monthly newsletters that provided contemporary, compressed, educational activities were created by the education department staff at a Veterans Affairs medical center. The educational sessions provided individualized, self-paced learning, supportive of the adult learner. Employees selected the educational activities that suited their needs. Although participation was optional, employees consistently took part in the activities.
Meeting the Continuing Education Needs of Rural Nurses in Role Transition
Authors: Pearson Cheryl L , Care W Dean
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Background: The community health center (CHC) model of care delivery is gaining acceptance throughout Canada's newly created rural health regions. The resulting change in nursing functions presents a challenge to regional health authorities to ensure the attainment and maintenance of practice competencies.

Method: This qualitative study examined strategies used in selected parts of Canada to prepare and support rural diploma-prepared nurses for role transition from acute care into CHCs.

Results: In light of CHC nurses' increased degree of autonomy, skill level, and focus on community wellness, the findings indicate a need for additional educational preparation and supportive strategies for transitioning nurses.

Conclusion: Regions should educate the public and staff about the principles of primary health care, population health, and factors that determine health to help stakeholders understand their community, the current gaps in service delivery, and the role of CHC nurses. Key players at the provincial level should work together to address competency issues and continuing education needs of nurses in career transition.

Decreasing Stress Among Nurse Managers: A Long-Term Solution
Authors: Judkins Sharon K , Ingram Melba
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Background: A self-paced learning module was developed and tested to determine whether knowledge relative to stress and hardiness could be increased among nurse managers.

Method: The module was administered to 31 nurse managers in rural hospitals in east Texas.

Findings: Using pretest and posttest module questionnaires and the Hardiness Scale, changes in mean scores were significant at the .001 level for both instruments. These findings indicate the self-paced learning module had a significant effect on participants' understanding of stress and coping, with a subsequent increase in hardiness levels.

Conclusion: Use of an educational module can be effective in increasing knowledge of stress and hardiness, and increasing hardiness levels. Through increased hardiness among managers and staff, organizations can expect higher levels of commitment, more involvement of staff in workplace issues, and greater receptivity to changes in the work environment.

Authors: Hernandez Teri L , Rupnow Jana M , Currie Kristi A , Procious James K , Adams Jenny
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this project was to develop an outcomes-based measurement tool that could be used to screen patients for learning barriers. A comprehensive, objective tool to assess for patient learning barriers was developed and implemented in an outpatient/ Stage II Cardiac Rehabilitation program. Definitions for seven barriers to learning, along with criteria to identify their presence, were compiled from the current literature and incorporated into the design of the outcomesbased tool. Utilization of the learning barrier tool may provide an objective, outcomes-based methodology for the identification of patient learning barriers, allowing educators to individualize patient education.

Authors: Bolan Christine M
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Background: A private university in Chile was seeking opportunities to acquire expertise in developing distance education programs using new media technology, especially in health-related fields. An initiative was undertaken to develop a distance postbasic gerontology program for technical nurses in Chile by partnering with a Canadian school of nursing.

Method: The instructional design process was used as a systematic approach throughout the development of the program. Attention to cultural considerations was emphasized throughout each phase of the process.

Results: The developed program consists of 13 self-paced print modules with web-based components and is primarily asynchronous with scheduled milestones. A 6-week preceptored clinical experience follows completion of the theory portion to support learner mastery of program outcomes.

Conclusion: Developing international nursing education programs is an enriching experience that presents unique challenges and issues. These challenges can be overcome by using a creative, systematic approach to program development that reflects cultural considerations. Developing flexible working relationships that respect the cultural differences of international team members facilitates international initiatives.

And now for something completely different ... Once again the same book by Dostoevsky: A (con)textual anlaysis of early and recent Dostoevsky retranslations into dutch
Authors: Boulogne Pieter
Published: January 2019

Durante os últimos dez ou quinze anos, o mercado de livros em holandês viu um aumento no número de retraduções de Dostoievski. Enquanto alguns explicam esse desenvolvimento com base na caducidade das traduções anteriores, os próprios tradutores tendem a justificar suas traduções dizendo que são “melhores”. Oferecendo uma análise comparativa contextual e textual das primeiras e das mais recentes retraduções de Dostoievski para o holandês, o presente artigo busca explicar o fenômeno da retradução em geral e o da retradução de Dostoievski em particular. Isso é feito indo-se além de pressupostos populares, que mostram estreito parentesco com a hipótese da retradução. Com base em uma análise histórica, que mostra que as primeiras retraduções de Dostoievski para o holandês estavam mais orientadas em direção à aceitabilidade que as primeiras traduções, argumenta-se que o conceito de normas, tal como concebido por Gideon Toury, mostra-se uma ferramenta melhor que a hipótese da retradução para se interpretar e explicar o fenômeno das retraduções de Dostoievksi para o holandês. Entretanto, devido à possibilidade de os tradutores irem contra a norma, que é ilustrada pelo trabalho do tradutor holandês contemporâneo Hans Boland, também as normas ficam aquém de prover um explicação completa.
Ensaio de uma (auto)crítica: o Direito Civil Contemporâneo entre a tábua axiológica constitucional e a constituição prospectiva
Authors: Arnt Ramos André Luiz
Published: January 2019

O pertencimento e a submissão do Direito Civil Brasileiro à ordem constitucional são voz corrente na teoria e na prática jurídicas contemporâneas. Isto se deve à contribuição de estudiosos que cunharam expressões-chave necessárias à assimilação da travessia que conduz à afirmação Estado Constitucional. Dentre elas, destaca-se a “tábua axiológica constitucional”, há muito insculpida na produção técnica da civilística brasileira. A transposição das resistências iniciais ao fenômeno da constitucionalização, mormente pela crescente complexidade que a ele se agregou, contudo, põe em questão a força daquele sintagma. É que “tábua” remete a rigidez, o que contrasta com a fluidez e a dinamicidade inerentes à tríplice constituição do Direito Civil. Nesta ordem de ideias, noções novidadeiras em matéria Civil-Constitucional podem se ver reféns da linguagem empregada no âmbito teórico e prático do Direito. À vista disso, propõe-se uma (auto)crítica quanto à pertinência da consagrada expressão “tábua axiológica” no Direito Civil Contemporâneo.
Uma leitura espacial de The beast in the jungle, de Henry James
Authors: Araújo Freitas Filho Sandro , Da Silveira Costa Natasha Vicente
Published: January 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é estudar a espacialidade da novela The beast in the jungle, publicada por Henry James em 1903. Traduzida como
A fera na selva, essa obra de natureza existencial representa a espera letárgica de John Marcher por um acontecimento raro e prodigioso em sua vida. Pretendemos investigar, especificamente, a relação entre a construção espacial e a subjetividade dos personagens, com basenas considerações teóricas de Borges Filho (2007) e Brandão (2013), bem como nas leituras críticas de Bazargan (2008) e Simonds (2018). A metodologia se pauta na análise, de um lado, dos espaços físicos, que visam representar a materialidade que circunda os personagens, e, de outro, dos espaços metafóricos, que impelem essa dimensão física ao abstrato, à elaboração mental. Como resultado, observa-se que os espaços físicos e metafóricos são construídos de modo a não somente localizar os personagens, mas a expressar suas personalidades, reiterar a mensagem da novela, reverberar as experiências humanas e problematizar a conscientização de John Marcher.
A 10-year characterization of the Saharan Air Layer lidar ratio in the subtropical North Atlantic
Authors: Berjón Alberto , Barreto Africa , Hernández Yballa , Yela Margarita , Toledano Carlos , Cuevas Emilio
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Particle extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) is a key parameter for a correct interpretation of elastic lidar measurements. Of particular importance is its determination for Saharan Air Layer mineral dust transported into the free troposphere over the North Atlantic region. The location of the two sun photometer stations managed by the Izaña Atmospheric Research Centre (IARC) on the island of Tenerife, and a decade of available micropulse lidar (MPL) data allows us to determine the lidar ratio under almost pure dust conditions. This result can be considered representative of the Saharan dust transported westward over the North Atlantic in the subtropical belt. Three different methods to calculate the lidar ratio have been used in this work: (1) using the inversion of sky radiance measurements from a sun/sky photometer installed at the Izaña Observatory (2373 m a.s.l.) in free troposphere conditions; (2) the One-Layer method, a joint determination using a micro-pulse lidar sited at Santa Cruz de Tenerife sea-level station and photometric information considering a one layer of aerosol characterized by a single lidar ratio; (3) the Two-Layer method, a joint determination using the micro-pulse lidar and photometric information considering two layers of aerosol with two different lidar ratios. The One-Layer method uses data from a co-located photometer only at Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while the Two-Layer conceptual approach incorporates photometric information at two heights from the observatories of Izaña and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The almost pure dust lidar ratio retrieval from the sun/sky photometer and from the Two-Layer method give similar results, with lidar ratios at 523 nm of 49 ± 6 sr and 50 ± 11 sr, respectively. These values obtained from a decade of data records are coincident with other studies in the literature reporting campaigns in the subtropical North Atlantic region. This result shows that the Two-Layer method is an improved conceptual approach compared to the single layer approach, that matches well the real lower troposphere structure. The Two-layer method is able to retrieve reliable lidar ratios and therefore aerosol extinction profiles, despite the inherent limitations of the elastic lidar technique. A lack of correlation between lidar ratio and Ångström exponent (α) indicates that the dust lidar ratio can be considered independent of dust size distribution in this region. This finding suggests that dust is, in most of atmospheric conditions, the predominant aerosol in the North Atlantic free troposphere.
Automated Wind Turbine Wake Characterization in Complex Terrain
Authors: Barthelmie Rebecca J. , Pryor Sara C.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. An automated wind turbine wake characterization algorithm has been developed and applied to a dataset of over 19,000 scans measured by scanning Doppler lidar at Perdigão over the period January to June 2017. The algorithm correctly identifies the wake centre position in 62 % of possible wake cases, 46 % having a clear and well-defined wake centre while 16 % have split centres or multiple lobes. Only 5 % of cases are not detected, the remaining 33 % could not be categorized either by the algorithm or subjectively, mainly due to the complexity of the background flow. Average wake centre heights categorized by inflow wind speeds are shown to be initially lofted (to 2 rotor diameters, D) except when the inflow wind speeds exceed 12 ms−1. Even under low wind speeds, by 3.5 D downstream of the wind turbine, the mean wake centre position is below the initial wind turbine hub-height and descends broadly following the terrain slope. However, this behaviour is strongly linked to hour of the day and atmospheric stability. Overnight and in stable conditions the average height of the wake centre is 10 m higher than in unstable conditions at 2 D and 17 m higher at 4.5 D downstream of the wind turbine.
A validation sensor based on carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic for early activation of automotive occupant restraint systems
Authors: Sequeira Gerald Joy , Lugner Robert , Jumar Ulrich , Brandmeier Thomas
Published: January 2019

Abstract. In the automotive industry, sensors and sensor systems are one of
the most important components in upcoming challenges like highly automated
and autonomous driving. Forward-looking sensors (radar, lidar and cameras)
have the technical capability to already provide important (pre-)crash
information, such as the position of contact, relative crash velocity and overlap (width of
contact) before the crash occurs. Future safety systems can improve
crash mitigation with sophisticated vehicle safety strategies based on this
information. One such strategy is an early activation of restraint systems
compared with conventional passive safety systems. These integrated safety
systems consist of a combination of predictive forward-looking sensors and
occupant restraint systems (airbags, belt tensioners, etc.) to provide the
best occupant safety in inevitable crash situations. The activation of the
restraint systems is the most critical decision process and requires a very
robust validation system to avoid false activation. Hence, the information
provided by the forward-looking sensor needs to be highly reliable. A
validation sensor is required to check the plausibility of crucial information
from forward-looking sensors used in integrated safety systems for safe
automated and autonomous driving. This work presents a CFRP-based (carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic) validation
sensor working on the principle of change in electrical resistance when a
contact occurs. This sensor detects the first contact, gives information on
impact position (where the contact occurs) and provides information on the
overlap. The aim is to activate the vehicle restraint systems at near T0
(time of first contact). Prototypes of the sensor were manufactured in house
and manually and were evaluated. At first, the sensor and its working principle
were tested with a pendulum apparatus. In the next stage, the sensor was tested in
a real crash test. The comparison of the signals from the CFRP-based sensor
with presently used crash sensors in the vehicle highlights its advantages.
The crash event can be identified at 0.1 ms after the initial contact. The
sensor also provides information on impact position at 1.2 ms and enables a
validation of the overlap development. Finally, a possible algorithm
for the vehicle safety system using forward-looking sensors with a validation
sensor is described.
Use of mixed coordinates in modeling wind turbines including tubular tower
Authors: Nada Ayman , Al-Shahrani Ali
Published: January 2019

Abstract. This paper studies the effect of the tower dynamics upon the
wind turbine model by using mixed sets of rigid and/or nodal and/or modal
coordinates within multibody system dynamics approach. The nodal model
exhibits excellent numerical properties, especially in the case where the
rotation of the rotor-blade is extremely high, and therefore, the geometric
stiffness effect can not be ignored. However, the use of nodal models to
describe the flexibility of large multibody systems produces huge size of
coordinates and may consume massive computational time in simulation. On the
other side, the dynamics of the tower as well as other components of wind
turbine remain exhibit small deformations and can be modeled using Cartesian
and/or reduced set of modal coordinates. The paper examines a method of using
mixed sets of different coordinates in the same model, although there are
differences in the scale and the physical interpretation. The equations of
motion of the wind-turbine model is presented based on the floating frame of
reference formulation. The mixed coordinates vector consists of three sets:
Cartesian coordinates set to present the rigid body motion (nacelle and rotor
bodies), elastic nodal coordinates for rotating blades, and reduced-order
modal coordinates for low speed components and those that deflect by simple
motion shapes (circular Tower). Experimental validation has been carried out
successfully, and consequently, the proposed model can be utilized for design
process, identification and health monitoring aspects.
Arctic sea-ice-free season projected to extend into autumn
Authors: Lebrun Marion , Vancoppenolle Martin , Madec Gurvan , Massonnet François
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The recent Arctic sea ice reduction comes with an increase in the ice-free
season duration, with comparable contributions of earlier ice retreat and
later advance. CMIP5 models all project that the trend towards later advance
should progressively exceed and ultimately double the trend towards earlier
retreat, causing the ice-free season to shift into autumn. We show that such
a
shift is a basic feature of the thermodynamic response of seasonal ice to
warming. The detailed analysis of an idealised thermodynamic
ice–ocean model
stresses the role of two seasonal amplifying feedbacks. The
summer feedback generates a 1.6-day-later advance in response to a 1-day-earlier
retreat. The underlying physics are the property of the upper ocean to
absorb solar radiation more efficiently than it can release heat right before ice advance.
The winter feedback is comparatively weak, prompting a 0.3-day-earlier
retreat in response to a 1-day shift towards later advance. This is because a
shorter growth season implies thinner ice, which subsequently melts away
faster. However, the winter feedback is dampened by the relatively long ice
growth period and by the inverse relationship between ice growth rate and
thickness. At inter-annual timescales, the thermodynamic response of ice
seasonality to warming is obscured by inter-annual variability. Nevertheless,
in the long term, because all feedback mechanisms relate to basic and stable
elements of the Arctic climate system, there is little inter-model
uncertainty on the projected long-term shift into autumn of the ice-free
season.
Power curve and wake analyses of the Vestas multi-rotor demonstrator

Published: January 2019

Abstract. Numerical simulations of the Vestas multi-rotor demonstrator (4R-V29) are compared with field measurements of power performance and remote sensing measurements of the wake deficit by a short-range WindScanner lidar system. The simulations predict a gain of 0–2 % in power due to the rotor interaction, for wind speeds below rated. The power curve measurements also show that the rotor interaction increases the power performance below rated by 1.8 ± 0.2 %, which can result in a 1.5 ± 0.2 % increase in the annual energy production. The wake measurements and numerical simulations show four distinct wake deficits in the near wake, which merge into a single wake structure further downstream. Numerical simulations show that the wake recovery distance of a simplified 4R-V29 wind turbine is 1.03–1.44 Deq shorter than for an equivalent single-rotor wind turbine with a rotor diameter Deq. In addition, the numerical simulations show that the added wake turbulence of the simplified 4R-V29 wind turbine is lower in the far wake compared to the equivalent single-rotor wind turbine. The faster wake recovery and lower far-wake turbulence of such a multi-rotor wind turbine has the potential to reduce the wind turbine spacing within a wind farm while providing the same production.

Authors: Italiano de Carvalho Rocha João
Published: January 2019

O ambiente de dunas com a vegetação na região costeira tem se tornado uma das áreas do espaço geográfico que mais sofre com a ação antrópica mal planejada, ficando exposto à degradação dos seus componentes naturais. A preservação dos cordões de dunas frontais ainda é apontada como a melhor solução para prevenir uma região da erosão costeira. Para obtenção dos dados teóricos da pesquisa foi utilizado como motor de busca o site Google e as imagens de campo foram obtidas por sensoriamento remoto. O arco praial da Praia de Boa Viagem pode ser descrito como um sistema dominado por ondas e ventos, agentes responsáveis pela dinâmica sedimentar e modeladores da linha da costa. Observou-se uma perda significativa de dunas com a cobertura vegetal aceleradas por ação antrópica. Conclui-se que há uma necessidade de implantação de um manejo adequado de recuperação da área degradada que aumenta sua extensão há cada ano. Buscou-se no presente estudo entender as consequências da ação antrópica no ambiente natural da praia de Boa Viagem, Recife-PE.
Cuerpos abyectos. Paisajes de contaminación y la corporización de la desigualdad ambiental
Authors: Swistun Débora
Published: January 2019

El estudio etnográfico de los efectos sociales de las enfermedades asociadas a tóxicos provenientes de la actividad industrial puede iluminar las vías por las que las desigualdades ambientales están íntimamente corporalizadas, dando una idea de las implicaciones sociales de esos marcadores (in)visibles de desventaja.¿Cuáles son los efectos sociales de cargar en el cuerpo un paisaje de contaminación? Retomaré el concepto de biología local de Lock, que sintetiza la forma en que la biología difiere por la cultura, la dieta y el medio ambiente y el concepto de biología estigmatizada de Horton y Baker que incorpora a la posición de un sujeto en la estructura social. Cuando miramos un cuerpo podemos descubrir marcas e intuir qué las causaron, qué paisaje habita ese cuerpo y cuál es su lugar (pertenencia social) en la ciudad. A este respecto también importa la definición que hace Meneses de la dimensión de lo visible en un régimen visual: lo visible es la dimensión que envuelve el dominio de poder y de control, el ver o ser visto, el darse o no darse a ver, la visibilidad o invisibilidad. La particular combinación de los conceptos de paisaje, embodiment y biología estigmatizada mediados por el concepto de régimen visual, aquí propuestos, podrían ayudar a entender algunas de las vías simbólicas de la reproducción de la exclusión social en la ciudad y facilitar el análisis de la dimensión corporal en los estudios de flujos de contaminación en la ecología política urbana.
Velocidad y Redes en la hipermodernidad
Authors: García García Arq. Alejandro , Roig Segovia Dr. Eduardo
Published: January 2019

El establecimiento de las tecnologías digitales y la velocidad electrónica ha implicado una progresiva adaptación del ser humano a su dominio en múltiples aspectos cotidianos. La ciudad y su arquitectura no son ajenas a tales cambios, debiendo conjugar su naturaleza tectónica con la nueva dimensión tecnológica. Las conexiones en red son un epifenómeno derivado de la velocidad informática que implica la asunción de nuevos modelos arquitectónicos y urbanísticos abiertos y acordes a lo digital, desplazando a los modelos ortodoxos y cerrados. El artículo pretende mostrar los principios conceptuales en que se basan aquéllos. Para ello, se propone un modelo paradigmático que describe el vínculo de la magnitud de la velocidad con el espacio-tiempo arquitectónico, caracterizando aquellos modelos arquitectónicos correspondientes al paradigma actual. De esta manera, se exponen aquí las tendencias generadoras de arquitectura y ciudad desde el nuevo imperativo veloz.
Rentabilidad de la educación superior técnica entregada por los Centros de Formación Técnica
Authors: Sotomayor Josefina , Valenzuela Juan Pablo
Published: January 2019

Esta investigación estudia la rentabilidad asociada a la decisión de inversión privada en cursar carreras provistas por diferentes Centros de Formación Técnica (CFT) a lo largo de Chile, tema escasamente investigado. Los CFT son una alternativa de creciente demanda por su menor costo y duración, como por su mayor orientación al mercado del trabajo. Sin embargo, las políticas públicas generan una discriminación hacia esta opción, a pesar que cuentan con estudiantes más vulnerables que los Institutos Profesionales y Universidades. Los resultados indican que la noción de una rentabilidad positiva asociada a la decisión de inversión privada en educación terciaria de todo tipo es solo una realidad parcial, puesto que se observa una alta heterogeneidad en la rentabilidad de estudiar una carrera técnica según la carrera y la institución donde ésta se curse, y se estima un retorno negativo en casi el 25\% de los programas analizados, donde incluso en algunas carreras ningún CFT logra una rentabilidad positiva. Los resultados son sensibles a la tasa de descuento utilizada y al grupo de comparación de trabajadores. Por otra parte, en algunas carreras de baja rentabilidad, generalmente con una mayoría de matrícula femenina, si se utiliza como comparación solo los ingresos de las trabajadoras mujeres la rentabilidad se incrementa, reflejando el sesgo de género para analizar la educación técnica en Chile.
Amortiguando la calamidad: la lucha contra la violencia de género en la agenda de los municipios
Authors: Tello Flavia
Published: January 2019

El artículo expone algunas reflexiones acerca de la relación entre el derecho a la ciudad desde el enfoque de género y seguridad, poniendo énfasis en el continuum de violencias de las que son víctimas mujeres y niñas y que restringen su plena ciudadanía, su desarrollo y su libertad. Abordar la problemática de la violencia de género desde el ámbito local implica que los gobiernos municipales deben asumir un papel preponderante en la erradicación de este flagelo, no sólo porque las manifestaciones y secuelas son más flagrantes en este nivel, sino también porque el espacio local representa el origen de las omisiones y desigualdades a transformar para ciudades inclusivas y seguras. A partir de una sucinta introducción a cada eje de intervención pública, se destacan algunas buenas prácticas impulsadas desde el ámbito subnacional. Experiencias reseñadas a partir de la sistematización en diversos bancos de buenas prácticas y analizadas bajo el método analógico para un análisis de las conexiones y relaciones halladas entre las distintas experiencias con el fin de orientar el alcance, modo y capacidad innovadora con la que los gobiernos locales pueden contribuir a la erradicación de la violencia de género
Reflexiones sobre abducción, pragmatismo y diseño
Authors: Poblete Pérez Alejandra
Published: January 2019

Diseñar es establecer un nuevo orden, a partir de lo que es hacia lo que debe ser, donde este nuevo orden se expresa o materializa en un artefacto (físico o virtual). En este proceso de cambio –y toma de decisiones– están involucrados (y dosificados) componentes racionales e intuitivos. ¿Cómo se aborda el proceso?, ¿qué preguntas se hace el diseñador y cómo encuentra las respuestas?, ¿qué tipo de conocimiento es el conocimiento de y para el diseño?, ¿cómo toma el diseñador las decisiones creativas?, ¿cómo se produce el “salto creativo”?. La revisión del sistema conceptual de Charles Sanders Peirce, su pragmatismo (pragmaticismo) y su concepción de razonamiento abductivo ayudarían a la reflexión sobre aspectos esenciales que caracterizan (pero no determinan) la actividad de diseño. El diseño, como disciplina proyectual, encuentra una afinidad epistemológica con los principios pragmatistas, según los cuales son los efectos de las cosas los que pueden tener repercusiones prácticas o experimentables y a partir de ellas se moviliza el pensamiento para la acción en el mundo real. El pragmatismo, en tanto filosofía del conocimiento, abre caminos de comprensión respecto al proceso del proyecto, así como de la investigación de diseño y su enseñanza.

Published: January 2019

This essay proposes a periodization for the study of organized and non-organized women in El Salvador from around 1841 to 2008. Six periods and four historical events that brought sociocultural change from the perspective of gender for salvadoran women and society. This study begins with the suffragist struggle of Prudencia Ayala in the 1930’s until the attaintment of femenine vote in 1950. In 1957, emerges the Fraternidad de Mujeres Salvadoreñas constituted by working class women, whose tasks were to support labor union struggles. Then it deals with the transition from former female guerrilla fighters to femenists, with the emergence of women organizations that incorporated geneder perspective in El Salvador. The essay closes with the main agendas and strategies of the Movimiento de Mujeres y Feministas (MM y F) from 1992 to 2008.Realidad: Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades No. 151, 2018: 63-87
Las escuelas y principales corrientes del derecho penal en la legislación salvadoreña
Authors: Feusier Oswaldo
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this article is to review the principal ideologies of the salvadorian penal codes up to the penal legislation of 1974. We will study the two dominant tendencies in that period of time: 1) the classical penal code or liberal, overall present in the penal code up to 1904, and 2) the positivism model and the criminal law of author, dominant throughout most of the XX century in our country. In the next number, we will study other tendencies in the codification from 1974 up to 1998.Realidad: Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades No. 151, 2018: 115-146

Design and Development of Pipe Inspection Robot Meant for Resizable Pipe Lines
Authors: Moshayedi Ata Jahangir , Fard Saeed Safara , Liao Liefa , Eftekhari Seyed Ali
Published: January 2019

Daily tasks mixed with the various applications in the robotic field. Since past, pipes have been used as the safe fluid transmitter. But gradually, these pipes affected by fatigue, cracking, leakage, sediment and breaking down. Also, sometimes humid environment and chemical products existing in the soil, causes rust and fatigue the pipes. All these problems lead to redundancy and impose high expenses for installation and maintenance. One of the recent inspection ways, is using the robot controller which leads to help and reduces the inspection time and preventive repairs activity. Besides, sometimes there are some unpleasant situation such as unfit pipes. It is obvious that in these conditions, doing inspection in toxic arena, narrow and meandering ways is impossible by human. So, designing a pipe inspection robot can be helpful in such circumstances. In this design, first, the former study, the way of operation, movement, mechanisms and advantages of each robot have studied. Then, by considering important parameters in designing, and sketching, making robot with the help of CATIA took place. This structure enjoys a regular mechanism design. It also has a proportional pipe diameter with the possibility of crossing through the slope routes. On the other hand, recording and processing of visual report, needs a camera and GUI toolbox written in Matlab. So image processing can help to exact investigation. One of the main difference of this research work over the various test on the platform, is hiring the mentioned toolbox which helps the operator to have the double investigation inside of the pipes. Moreover, the adjustable mechanism to pipe diameter, polyhedral movement and ascension power, relatively high efficiency in order to use frictional power and reducing repair and pause time are the advantages of this design. Also, observing the inner side of the pipe on the monitor, leads to reducing images. Moreover, its investigation by the introduced toolbox, causes more effective observation, more quickly diagnosis and analysis.
A formação de professores no Paraná na primeira república: a escola normal primária de Ponta Grossa
Authors: Martiniak Vera Lucia
Published: January 2019

Este trabalho apresenta resultados de pesquisa sobre a institucionalização da Escola Normal no Paraná, no período que compreende a proclamação da República até a década de 1930. Buscou-se analisar as imbricações que deram origem à Escola Normal do Brasil, como fator primordial para justificar a formação de professores no país. Na estrutura burocrática e hierárquica da Escola Normal conviveram os princípios da racionalização que objetivavam a eficácia e a eficiência, sendo que os recursos empregados deveriam ser utilizados de forma econômica. A investigação baseou-se em análises de fontes, tanto primárias quanto secundárias, que possibilitaram a reconstrução da estrutura organizacional da Escola Normal bem como a possibilidade de disponibilizar fragmentos do cotidiano da instituição. Por meio das leis referentes à instrução pública, procurou-se entender como tais regulamentações representaram os princípios do Estado para com a educação paranaense e de que forma legitimaram a criação da Escola. Os resultados demonstram que o Estado do Paraná não se diferenciava dos outros Estados, do ponto de vista ideológico, quando assumiu no seu discurso os ideais liberais: gratuidade, liberdade de ensino, obrigatoriedade, ênfase no caráter nacionalista, entre outros. A Escola Normal teve sua trajetória marcada por leis e decretos, mas conseguiu manter-se como instituição formadora de professores. A partir do momento de sua criação, outras foram sendo criadas, acentuando-se seu crescimento no período republicano. Essas escolas surgiram no momento em que o país passava por uma transição política e a difusão dos ideais liberais ressaltava a educação como instrumento de consolidação do novo regime e manutenção da ordem social.

Ações de Green Supply Chain Management na produção do coco no Ceará
Authors: Alencar Brenda Alves , Cruz Ravi Lima , Silva Minelle Enéas
Published: January 2019

Sob o debate de questões ambientais aplicadas as cadeias de suprimento, este artigo objetiva analisar as ações e interações entre os membros da cadeia de produção do coco no Ceará. Para tanto, a pesquisa possui caráter qualitativo e foi realizada por meio de 18 entrevistas com diversos atores desta cadeia. Identifica-se com os resultados que (1) há falta de comunicação entre os membros da cadeia; (2) a logística reversa tem ocorrido de forma limitada quanto as questões ambientais, assim como a gestão de resíduos; e (3) não há integração estratégica entre os membros desta cadeia produtiva. Com esta pesquisa consegue-se contribuir para o entendimento de uma cadeia de suprimento em diferentes níveis, algo ainda pouco desenvolvido no Brasil. Além disso, com a análise do fluxo direto e reverso do Coco é possível entender como ações podem ser desenvolvidas com o intuito de melhor contribuir com a sustentabilidade.
The Plurilingual and Multimodal Management of Participation and Subject Complexity in University CLIL Teamwork
Authors: Borràs Eulàlia , Moore Emilee
Published: January 2019

This paper explores the interactions of a groupwork team composed of both local and exchange students, with heterogeneous competence in English, in an English-medium CLIL context at a technical university in Catalonia. Plurilingual and multimodal conversation analysis is used to trace how the students jointly complete an academic task. The research conducted specifically analyses how students categorise themselves and each other in terms of their expertise, and the procedures and resources the students deploy to accomplish the task. The data show that participants’ heterogeneous linguistic repertoires are not an obstacle for successfully completing the task, for constructing subject knowledge, or for establishing a climate of mutual understanding and cooperation. The analysis refers to the tension emerging in the data between the interactional principles of progressivity –actions oriented towards task completion– and intersubjectivity –actions oriented towards resolving communicative difficulties. It also focuses on how co-participants mobilise diverse resources from their communicative repertoires, including plurilingual resources, gesture and material artefacts, in managing the task. The main argument put forward is that in instructional environments in which students are expected to build subject matter knowledge using languages that they are simultaneously learning (e.g. CLIL), considering their whole communicative repertoires as valuable resources for their learning is a promising approach.
