Authors: Jaya Kirana Dwi , Wibawaningsih Ekawati Jati , Wijayanti Aniek
Published: November 2020

This study examines whether corporate governance measured by audit quality, ownership structure, and board of commissioners quality has an effective role in constraining earnings management in Indonesia. The sample of this research is 163 companies in non-financial sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2014-2018. Regression analysis is used to test the research hypothesis. Discretional accruals were used to measure earning management. The results show that the audit firm’s reputation as a proxy of audit quality has a negative significant influence (at the 5% level) on earning management practices. Contrary to the hypothesis, we found that the size of the board of commissioners has a positive significant influence (at the 5% level) on earnings management. These findings provide practical advice for the government and shareholders in providing effective corporate governance mechanisms in constraining earnings management.

Analysis of system characteristics of a reactor with supercritical coolant parameters
Authors: Lapin Anton S. , Bobryashov Aleksandr S. , Blandinsky Victor Yu. , Bobrov Yevgeny A.
Published: November 2020

For 60 years of its existence, nuclear energy has passed the first stage of its development and has proven that it can become a powerful industry, going beyond the 10% level in the global balance of energy production.

Despite this, modern nuclear industry is capable of producing economically acceptable energy only from uranium-235 or plutonium, obtained as a by-product of the use of low enriched uranium for energy production or surplus weapons-grade plutonium.

In this case, nuclear energy cannot claim to be a technology that can solve the problems of energy security and sustainable development, since it meets the same economic and ‘geological’ problems as other technologies do, based on the use of exhaustible organic resources.

The solution to this problem will require a new generation of reactors to drastically improve fuel-use characteristics. In particular, reactors based on the use of water cooling technology should significantly increase the efficiency of using U-238 in order to reduce the need for natural uranium in a nuclear energy system.

To achieve this goal, it will be necessary to transit to a closed nuclear fuel cycle and, therefore, to improve the performance of a light-water reactor system.

The paper considers the possibility of using a reactor with a fast-resonance neutron spectrum cooled by supercritical water (SCWR). The SCWR can be effectively used in a closed nuclear fuel cycle, since it makes it possible to use spent fuel and discharge uranium with a small amount of plutonium added.

The authors discuss the selected layout of the core with a change in its size as well as the size of the breeding regions (blankets). MOX fuel with an isotopic plutonium content corresponding to that discharged from the VVER-1000 reactor is considered as fuel. For the selected layout, a study was made of the reactor system features.

Compared with existing light-water reactors, this reactor type has increased fuel consumption due to its improved efficiency and nuclear fuel breeding rate up to 1 and above.
Revision of the freshwater crabs of the Johora tahanensis (Bott, 1966) species group (Crustacea, Brachyura, Potamidae), with a key to the genus
Authors: Ng Peter K. L.
Published: November 2020

The taxonomy of the potamid freshwater crabs of the Johora tahanensis (Bott, 1966) species group (Potamoidea) is revised. Seven species are recognised, all from Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand, three of which are described as new. The three new species were previously identified as J. tahanensis but can be distinguished by characters of the carapace, male first gonopod, and vulva. A revised key to the 18 recognised species of Johora Bott, 1966, is provided.
Les emprunts sémitiques en grec : certitude et probabilité
Authors: Masson Michel
Published: November 2020

Through the examination of two recent books, this article aims at showing that, contrary to a common opinion, it is impossible to prove with certainty the Semitic origin of a pre-Hellenistic Greek word, although the borrowing of the Greek alphabet seems to imply possibly concomitant lexical borrowings. In compensation, what seems feasible is to collect quite a large number of recurrent coincidences that tend to reduce the part of hazard.
« Psychanalyse et réalité. À propos de la théorie de la technique psychanalytique », de Denise Braunschweig
Authors: Kahn Laurence
Published: November 2020

Comment théoriser la technique qui permet de rompre avec l’aliénation entretenue par l’action conjuguée du narcissisme, du clivage du moi et des identifications collectives ? Et comment l’analyse parvient-elle à faire travailler la conscience contre elle-même ? Entre resexualisation et masochisme, et contre la fonction défensive de l’épreuve de réalité, l’auteur envisage, en suivant pas à pas Denise Braunschweig, le chemin emprunté par la symbolisation pour s’emparer des réalités interne et externe et tolérer un ordre de réalité inéliminable.
Le réalisme moral de Charles Taylor
Authors: Voeltzel Nicolas
Published: November 2020

Cet article précise ce que Charles Taylor entend par « idéal moral », et montre que le philosophe défend une position qu’on peut globalement qualifier de « réaliste » du point de vue métaéthique : nos conceptions du bien ont une existence et une efficience propres, et ne peuvent pas être ramenées à de simples réactions instinctives, ni à l’expression de préférences personnelles, ni encore être considérées comme le résultat d’un « choix radical ». J’explique ce que Taylor désigne par les concepts de « subjectivisme », d’« évaluation forte », d’« horizon de signification » et d’« identité », et montre en quoi ces concepts remettent en cause certains aspects des philosophies de Nietzsche et de Sartre.
Éditorialiser les caricatures ou l’« effet mascaret » des images satiriques dans les livres d’histoire (XIX e -XX e siècles)
Authors: Duprat Annie , Bihl Laurent
Published: November 2020

Destinée le plus souvent à la publication de presse, l’éditorialisation de l’image satirique au sein de livres rétrospectifs pose un certain nombre de problèmes, à commencer par le passage au simple statut illustratif. Souvent déconnectée du texte, la caricature perd de son sens. Souvent, chaque angle choisi détermine la sélection iconographique. Il manque assurément à la source iconographique la rigueur exigée par les sources historiques traditionnelles. Très fortement connotée par définition, l’image satirique légitimée par les publications prestigieuses ou savantes présente plusieurs défis face au regard public, particulièrement à notre époque riche en polémiques, à-peu-près et circulations accélérées sur Internet.
Entre expressionnisme et euphémisation
Authors: Ambroise-Rendu Anne-Claude
Published: November 2020

Les dernières décennies du xix e  siècle sont le temps d’une prise en compte grandissante de la question de l’enfance, ouvrant un siècle nouveau qui verra la fin du xx e  siècle identifier et nommer les crimes divers perpétrés contre l’enfance. Dans l’intervalle la hiérarchie du représentable, c’est-à-dire du montrable et du visible semble s’être modifiée : quand les images de la Belle époque ne reculaient ni devant l’évocation des relations sexuelles avec des enfants, ni devant le spectacle des cruautés les plus sanglantes infligées aux enfants martyrs, aujourd’hui plus personne n’ose montrer des enfants battus et ensanglantés et la production iconographique de la dénonciation de la pédophilie est à peu près inexistante. Ce constat amène à interroger cette évolution, cette mutation dans l’ordre des possibles et du représentable à la lumière des mutations culturelles et peut-être même idéologiques, mais aussi des modifications des registres émotionnels qui ont affecté l’histoire du xx e  siècle. Et à essayer de comprendre ce qui se joue dans la variabilité du représentable. Car lorsqu’il s’agit de sexualité, le xxi e  siècle ne s’effarouche pas moins que le xix e , préférant y compris pour les campagnes de prévention, ne pas choquer plutôt que de mobiliser l’artillerie lourde de l’image explicite et crue. Ce choix, qui en dit long sur le soupçon qui continue de peser sur l’image, pourrait bien témoigner aussi d’un embarras à l’endroit des questions relatives à l’enfance.
Specification and estimation of network formation and network interaction models with the exponential probability distribution
Authors: Hsieh Chih-Sheng , Lee Lung-Fei , Boucher Vincent
Published: November 2020

We model network formation and interactions under a unified framework by considering that individuals anticipate the effect of network structure on the utility of network interactions when choosing links. There are two advantages of this modeling approach: first, we can evaluate whether network interactions drive friendship formation or not. Second, we can control for the friendship selection bias on estimated interaction effects. We provide microfoundations of this statistical model based on the subgame perfect equilibrium of a two‐stage game and propose a Bayesian MCMC approach for estimating the model. We apply the model to study American high school students' friendship networks using the Add Health dataset. From two interaction variables, GPA and smoking frequency, we find that the utility of interactions in academic learning is important for friendship formation, whereas the utility of interactions in smoking is not. However, both GPA and smoking frequency are subject to significant peer effects.
Más allá de la primera cátedra de medicina en el Nuevo Mundo: tiempo, vida y obra de Juan de la Fuente
Authors: Martínez Hernández Gerardo
Published: November 2020

En este trabajo se analizan distintas facetas de la vida del médico sevillano Juan de la Fuente, quien fuera el primer catedrático de medicina en la Nueva España y en el continente americano. El objetivo principal es brindar una imagen más completa sobre este doctor, puesto que su figura ha sido frecuentemente estudiada haciendo énfasis en su magisterio en la Real Universidad de México, dejando de lado otros aspectos que lo muestran como un personaje más diverso, tales como su formación humanista y su fundamental participación en la creación de las primeras instituciones sanitarias novohispanas. A través de distintos documentos de archivo y referencias bibliográficas de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI se hace una reconstrucción de su vida y obra.
Piezas owenianas en el rompecabezas darwiniano
Authors: Blanco Daniel , Ginnobili Santiago
Published: November 2020

En este trabajo discutimos la extensión de la influencia que el pensamiento de Richard Owen tuvo sobre el de Charles Darwin. Además, se intentará mostrar lo heterogéneo de tal influencia, que va desde teorías específicas a giros retóricos. Esta influencia es en muchos casos subestimada, dando la sensación de que la novedad darwiniana consistió únicamente en mirar con ojos desprejuiciados lo que los otros no habían visto. Esta visión resulta injusta con Owen, y también con el esfuerzo conceptual llevado adelante por Darwin con las piezas brindadas por sus precursores. Finalmente, este es un caso interesante para entender el tipo de novedad aportada por las revoluciones científicas y el modo sofisticado en que tal novedad se sustenta sobre el trabajo de los enfoques previos.
A Novel Approach for Detecting Abnormality in Ejection Fraction Using Transthoracic Echocardiography with Deep Learning
Authors: Sarkar Prattay Guha , Chandra Vishal
Published: November 2020

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the prime cause of mortality in people worldwide. Mortality in CVD has been strongly linked to Ejection Fraction (EF) in various studies1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the central measure of left ventricular systolic function. LVEF is the fraction of chamber volume ejected in systole (stroke volume) in relation to the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole (end-diastolic volume)2. Evaluation of left ventricular systolic function by left ventricle ejection fraction (EF) using Transthoracic echocardiography is usually a first line investigation. Determination of Ejection fraction (EF) is done most commonly by a semi-automatic process in which echocardiographer segments the left ventricle in both systolic and diastolic frames to generate systolic and diastolic chamber dimensions. The whole process in time consuming and highly dependent on operator experience causing a lot of inter-observer and intra-observer variations. Our goal is to develop algorithms so as to reduce the time consumed during whole process and make it more reliable and reproducible. We have used M-Mode of Left ventricle in PLAX view to measure chamber dimensions and calculate EF by Teich method. EF >50% has been categorized as normal ejection fraction. EF < 50% has been categorized as reduced ejection fraction and LV systolic dysfunction. In this research we have used fine-tuned ResNet 50 and trained it with 200 cases. We observed an accuracy of 98% and a F1 score of 77% for reduced EF (<50%) and 77% for normal EF (>50%). Although this is a small dataset, it shows that deep learning algorithms can be applied to medical imaging. ResNet50 is a preferred choice in terms of accuracy. This research will serve as a stepping stone for future research and will determine other cardiac matrices.

Published: November 2020

Data, which is available in abundance and in accessible forms, if analyzed in an efficient manner, unfolds many patterns and promising solutions. The present world is moving from the information age to the digital age, entering a new era of analytics. Whatever the end user does is recorded and stored. The purpose of data analytics is to make the “best out of waste.” Analytics often employs advanced statistical techniques (logistic regression, multivariate regression, time series analysis, etc.) to derive meaning from data. There are essentially two kinds of analytics: 1) descriptive analytics and 2) predictive analytics. Descriptive analytics describes what has happened in the past. Predictive analytics predicts what will happen in the future.

Obesity is a medical metabolic condition where a person accumulates excess body fat that might affect their health. Obesity is a prevalent global health problem linked with other life-threatening chronic diseases like cardiovascular, certain types of cancer, diabetes, renal, cerebrovascular, bone, and muscle-related diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is the fifth foremost cause of global deaths. Many allopathic drugs and surgical treatments for managing obesity are available in the market. However, these conventional methods have adverse side effects and chances of recurrence. For more than 2,000 years, herbal medicines have been used for the treatment of many diseases efficiently. This chapter addresses the current progress in the effectiveness of several herbal medications used for the treatment of obesity without causing side effects. The possible effects and mechanisms of using these herbaceous plants in the treatment of obese and overweight humans and animals are covered extensively.

Authors: Byrd Rebekah , Donald Emily
Published: November 2020

Transgender and Gender-Expansive children and adolescents are resilient, capable, and amazing and deserve to work with school counselors who build upon their strengths. School counselors who espouse fluid, multilayered, and complex conceptualizations of gender and affectional identities are best equipped to meet the needs of TGE children and adolescents. Therefore, it is essential that school counselors be well-versed and knowledgeable about the identities of those with whom they are working, as well as welcome ongoing growth in areas such as self-awareness.

Authors: Harrison Michelle Mock , Todd Sharon R.
Published: November 2020

Human trafficking is an international and domestic public concern. As understanding of this social justice issue expands, awareness is growing that this horrific act impacts adults and children worldwide, including students in public schools. There is currently little guidance for school counselors or research specific to recognizing, preventing, and responding to human trafficking in schools. Through increasing the awareness of how to recognize and respond to human trafficking, school counselors, staff, and community members can work together to prevent trafficking in the schools and be better equipped to serve students who have been victimized by this crime. School counselors can play a role in prevention and education of this social justice issue.

Etica della ricerca biomedica: la virtù oltre l’utile
Authors: De Paula Ignazio Carrasco
Published: November 2020

La riflessione etica sulla ricerca biomedica si pone in un contesto ben definito: da un parte, l’accettazione dell’inevitabile coinvolgimento di soggetti umani; dall’altra, il riconoscimento della singolare preziosità del soggetto di studio e, di conseguenza, l’atteggiamento etico di rispetto e di responsabilità da parte del ricercatore. Su questa base, la ricerca dovrebbe procedere secondo un binomio inscindibile che pone su un piano egualitario sia la crescita qualitativa e quantitativa della conoscenza dell’uomo che la finalizzazione di tale progresso al servizio dell’uomo stesso. È proprio questa finalità bidimensionale che conferisce alla ricerca una portata virtuosa che trascende il carattere molte volte meccanico del metodo sperimentale.

Il recente dibattito sulla clonazione terapeutica finalizzata all’ottenimento di cellule staminali si è focalizzato principalmente sui risultati che si spera di raggiungere in un futuro non prossimo. In questo modo, tuttavia, si è lasciato in ombra la questione fondamentale del senso di tale ricerca qua talis. La prevedibile debolezza degli argomenti addotti a favore della clonazione sembra essere anche una conseguenza di tale imperdonabile omissione.
Educazione della sessualità ed adolescenti. Indagine conoscitiva ed antropologie di riferimento
Authors: Romano Lucio
Published: November 2020

L’importanza e l’attualità di un percorso educativo nell’ambito della sessualità si evince, nell’articolo, da una indagine conoscitiva svolta in un gruppo di adolescenti (648 studenti dell’ultimo anno della scuola secondaria superiore, con un’età media di 17.2 anni). Nella compilazione di un questionario anonimo, semiaperto, gli adolescenti intervistati hanno palesato una evidente, e statisticamente significativa, richiesta di partecipazione a programmi di educazione della sessualità e di formazione al sentimento morale. La dimostrazione di un bisogno educativo da parte degli adolescenti è dimostrata altresì dalla confusione tra informazione ed educazione, dal disagio nel coinvolgere i genitori o i docenti, ad esempio, nelle problematiche inerenti la sessualità a fronte di una supposta pretesa conoscenza di educazione della sessualità. Prevale, infatti, una cultura informata ad una antropologia naturalistica e a una ideologia liberalizzante che ha ridotto l’adolescente, e non solo, a mero fruitore di una sessualità intesa come bene di consumo dove non alberga alcuna morale che si basi sulla responsabile apertura verso l’altro: sessualità che si traduce in sesso, in sola genitalità dove la norma è costituita da ciò che è biologicamente morale, ovvero il dato statistico diventa legge e determina il valore. Dall’analisi del questionario si palesa la necessità, pertanto, di una educazione della sessualità che proceda nell’ambito di uno sviluppo integrale della persona, processo educativo da intendere come perfezionamento ed intervento a favore della persona nella sua globalità fisica psichica spirituale, ovvero educazione alla differenza sessuale, educazione affettiva e morale, educazione al valore della vita. I punti di riferimento imprescindibili per una corretta formazione della sessualità e del sentimento morale sono rappresentati dalla unitotalità della persona, apertura e oblatività dell’amore, complementarietà, inscindibilità della dimensione unitiva e procreativa, trascendenza oltre il sé, verso l’altro e verso l’Altro.
Le mutilazioni genitali femminili
Authors: Del Missier Giovanni
Published: November 2020

L’articolo intende approfondire la tematica delle mutilazioni genitali femminili (MGF) per esprimere un fondato giudizio morale su queste pratiche e offrire delle linee di riferimento per la promozione di comportamenti sociali giusti e responsabili, nel pieno rispetto della dignità personale delle donne coinvolte.

L’autore offre un quadro generale del fenomeno, emergente anche in Italia, individuando le testimonianze storiografiche delle MGF, le diverse tipologie di intervento, le conseguenze psico-fisiche che esse comportano per le donne che vi si sottopongono, la distribuzione geografica e quantitativa dei soggetti coinvolti. Vengono esaminate le motivazioni tradizionalmente addotte a giustificazione di queste pratiche e le teorie esplicative moderne fornite dalle scienze umane che hanno tentato di interpretare in vario modo le mutilazioni sessuali, con particolare attenzione alla riflessione ispirata ai diritti umani. Successivamente, vengono considerati criticamente i paradigmi etici più utilizzati in letteratura per schierarsi a favore o contro la legittimità delle MGF. I limiti rilevati inducono l’autore ad inquadrare il discorso in una più ampia cornice di tipo antropologico personalista e a percorrere una via di soluzione equidistante dal culturicentrismo e dal relativismo culturale.

Sulla base del significato della corporeità si sostiene la grave illiceità delle pratiche mutilatorie, analizzando nel dettaglio le responsabilità dei diversi attori sociali che vi si possono trovare coinvolti. Sulla scorta di alcune argomentazioni derivate per analogia dai Teologi Dottori della tradizione cattolica viene individuato, inoltre, un criterio minimale di riferimento per avviare un dialogo interculturale non direttivo né paternalistico, ma rispettoso e fermo che conduca le etnie, presenti nella società italiana, a superare queste pratiche trasformandole in una nuova ritualità non cruenta, senza compromettere il patrimonio di valori che esse vorrebbero salvaguardare e trasmettere. L’esposizione si conclude con una serie di indicazioni volte a guidare la progettazione di interventi sociali finalizzati a modificare le tradizioni dannose per la salute, secondo una strategia ispirata non solo all’efficacia, ma soprattutto al rispetto della dignità umana e delle diversità culturali, con particolare riguardo ai problemi delle donne, delle famiglie, delle comunità di riferimento, degli operatori socio-sanitari e alla questione dell’introduzione di norme penali specifiche anti-MGF.

Bununla birlikte geleneksel yöntemlerle elle üretilen takıların yanı sıra bilgisayar destekli üretim yöntemleriyle farklı malzemelerden tasarımlar da üretilmektedir. CAD sayesinde çeşitli bilgisayar programlarında çizilen tasarımlar, CAM yöntemiyle üç boyutlu olarak farklı malzemelerle üretilebilmektedir. Bu üretim tekniği sayesinde, bilgisayarda çizilen tasarımlar farklı malzemelerle ürün olarak elde edilebilmektedir. Bu elde edilen ürünler malzemenin ve üretim tekniğinin cinsine göre çeşitlilik sağlamaktadır. Uzun yıllardır mücevher sektöründe üç boyutlu yazıcılarla mum, reçine v.b. malzemelerle ürünler üretilip ardından döküme gönderilerek üretim yapılmaktaydı. Son yıllarda ise yine üç boyutlu yazıcılarla gelişen teknoloji sayesinde farklı üretim metotları geliştirilmiştir. Bu metotlardan bazıları bu çalışmada incelenecektir. Bunlar, lazerle metal sinterleme, sls teknolojisi ile polimerik malzemeden (polyamid) üç boyutlu üretim tekniğidir. Farklı malzemelerle yapılan mücevher, takı ve obje üretimi sayesinde, tasarımlarda özgürce ürün tasarlamaya imkân sağlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; bilgisayar destekli üretim yöntemlerinden sinterleme, polyamid ve sls ile üretim yapılan takıların diğer üretim yöntemlerine göre avantajları, dezavantajları tartışılıp kuyumculuk sektöründe mücevher tasarımına alternatif katkıları ve yansımaları hakkında bilgiler verilip örnekler sunulacaktır.

Published: November 2020

Integrierende Stadtentwicklung mit dem Ziel, Chancengleichheit für alle Kinder und Jugendlichen herzustellen, braucht kleinräumige und institutionenscharfe Daten zur Diagnose von Nachteilen und zur Evaluation von Maßnahmen. Das Monitoring-Instrument „Wie geht’s dir? UWE“ (Umwelt, Wohlbefinden, Entwicklung) – eine Adaption und Weiterentwicklung des kanadischen Middle Years Development Instrument – erfasst die subjektive Sicht von Kindern und Jugendlichen auf ihr gegenwärtiges Leben. UWE untersucht die Einflüsse von stärkenden Ressourcen in Familie, Schule und Wohnumgebung auf das Wohlbefinden von Jugendlichen. Dieser Beitrag stellt die Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie vor, die in Herne in NRW durchgeführt wurde. Im Rahmen der Studie wurden alle Schülerinnen und Schüler der siebten und neunten Klassen befragt. Die Verteilung des Wohlbefindens zeigt deutliches Potential für Verbesserungen. Für den Ergebnistransfer in die Praxis wurden die Ergebnisse in den Schulen vorgestellt und ein Stadtbericht veröffentlicht. UWE wirkt so als starker Impuls für eine weitere Vernetzung von Akteuren in Schulen und Sozialräumen, um das Wohlbefinden von Kindern und Jugendlichen zu verbessern.

Este escrito busca colocar en el espacio público la voz del profesor de matemáticas al vivir un fenómeno de transición hacia la enseñanza a distancia debido a una indicación de suspender actividades escolares presenciales, pero dando continuidad al acto educativo. Constituye una investigación que busca entender las vivencias y acciones del profesor. Se hace con una actitud empática para encontrar en las palabras mismas de sus actores el contenido, fundamento y justificación de sus actos. La información se recolectó a través de las respuestas a un cuestionario de trece preguntas respondido por profesores de Argentina, Colombia, Chile y México de nivel básico, medio superior y superior. Sus respuestas se tematizaron para dar lugar a un ejercicio en el que las vivencias de los profesores se plasmaron a manera de una diversidad de voces.
Tekil Kazık ve Grup Kazıkların Oyulmaya Karşı Taban Koruma Sistemlerinin Nümerik Modelleme Yöntemiyle İncelenmesi

Published: November 2020

Su içine yapılan taşıyıcı kazıklar ve ayaklar üzerine yapılacak yapılara göre değişiklik göstermektedir. Bu yapıların tasarımı sürecinde, akım ortamı ile etkileşimini doğru tarif edebilmek tasarımın doğruluğu açısında önem taşımaktadır. Yanlış tasarım sonrasında doğru uygulama olsa dahi yapının çevresel koşulların etkisi altındaki durumu doğru ön görülmediğinden yapılarda hasarlar meydana gelmektedir. Yanlış tasarım yapılarak projelendirilmiş kazık taşıyıcı sisteme sahip yapıların hasarı, bilhassa etrafında meydana gelecek oyulma paterni ve oyulma derinliği sebebiyle olasıdır. Yapısal hasarlar önemli ekonomik zararlara neden oldukları gibi ek olarak dolaylı zararlara da neden olurlar. Örneğin ayak yapısının çevresi gerektiği şekilde korunmamış köprülerin yıkılması can kaybı, kamu ve özel mülk hasarları ve trafiğin aksaması gibi dolaylı etkilere de yol açabilir. Yapılan çalışmalarda ağır hasar gören veya yıkılan köprülerinde hasar nedenlerinin çoğu kazık çevresindeki oyulmalardan kaynaklandığı görülmektedir. Su içindeki yapı etrafındaki oyulma mekanizması su yapıları mühendisliğinde önemli bir çalışma alanıdır. Oyulmanın önlenebilmesi için kazık çevresinde ve kazık yakınındaki tabanda akım karakteri iyi bir şekilde anlaşılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada üç farklı kazık sistemi,(tekil, ikili ve üçlü grup) akıntı etkisi altında hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği metodu kullanılarak OpenFOAM çözücüsü yardımıyla incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalarda yapıların çevresindeki taban kayma gerilmesi değerleri hesaplanmış ve koruma yapısı olarak kullanılabilecek taş boyutları hesaplanmıştır.

Published: November 2020

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar como a indisciplina no contexto escolar contribui na desconstrução do processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos educandos do 7º ao 9º ano da cidade de Vertente do Lério-PE. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa exploratória-descritiva com abordagem quali-quantitativa, com questionários aplicados a 15 estudantes e 11 professores, desenvolvida entre os meses de maio e junho de 2019. Constatou-se sobre o perfil dos professores pesquisados que a maioria é do gênero feminino, na faixa etária de 34 a 53 anos, casados e com filhos. Todos são licenciados na área que atuam e possuem pós-graduação, atuam a mais de 10 anos no ensino e não possuem outra atividade remunerada, com carga horária total de atividades de 30h/semanais. Sobre como lidam com a indisciplina, os professores afirmam que fazem uso de dinâmicas, diálogos, uso de jogos e atividades diversas na tentativa de amenizar a indisciplina escolar. Afirmam ainda que as situações de indisciplina que ocorrem em sala atrapalham o desempenho escolar e entendem que ela está vinculada a fatores internos, tais como: a infraestrutura, a administração, a relação professor-aluno, ao processo de ensino e aos fatores externos, como os problemas socioeconômicos, a baixa qualidade de vida e os conflitos de ordem familiar.
METODOLOGIAS ATIVAS NO ENSINO DE FILOSOFIA

Published: November 2020

A Filosofia como disciplina sofreu muitas idas e vindas na educação brasileira, seja por conta da legislação, seja por questões ideológicas e governamentais. Somente em 2008 é que se firmou como obrigatória no ensino médio, por meio da lei 11684. Ela objetiva em levar o aluno a construir conceitos e conseguir autonomia posteriormente. Contudo, há várias possibilidades pedagógicas acerca de como ensiná-la. Por muito tempo, se usou as metodologias tradicionais. Hoje, entretanto, as metodologias ativas são uma excelente alternativa de se atingir tal objetivo, por usarem o protagonismo do aluno como o principal método de ensino. Diante disso, buscou-se analisar dois livros didáticos de Filosofia em amplo uso no estado de São Paulo, a fim de verificar a presença de tais formas de ensinar. Não foi constatado muitos elementos ativos, pois o ensino filosófico ainda é calcado na linha francesa tradicional. Em tempos hipermodernos, é necessária uma remodelação nos métodos de ensinos, com mais eficácia e pertinência à geração atendida.
A LITERATURA AFRO-AMERICAN

Published: November 2020

Esta análise denominada “Estudo da tradução brasileira do livro “O Olho Mais Azul” acessa Estudos Culturais, Literários e Estudos da Tradução com o objetivo de analisar a tradução além da perspectiva logocêntrica, focando em manifestações culturais expressos pela língua. Neste estudo de caso atenção será focada nas vozes do livro pela escritora norte-americana e afrodescendente Toni Morrison, e como ela desafia os pressupostos brancos, patriarcais, protestantes e critérios Protestantes em que está baseado o contexto cultural dos Estados Unidos.  Nossa investigação toma como ponto de partida o plano linguístico em que Morrison opta por usar não somente a norma culta da Língua Inglesa, mas a variante Black English, um registro  que abre espaço para a diferença.  Neste estudo, a tradução brasileira de The Bluest Eye  em Português O Olho Mais Azul por Manuel Paulo Ferreira é o alvo de análise a partir da perspectiva culturalista.

Abstract
Objectives: To assess the awareness of diabetic patients about diabetic retinopathy.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Ophthalmology Department, Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from April 2018 to April 2019, and comprised diabetic patients of either gender aged 21-80 years. A pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic, diabetes and diabetic retinopathy characteristics. Fundoscopic examination was done, and the presence and stage of diabetic retinopathy were documented. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Results: Of the 132 subjects, 9(6.8%) were male and 123(93.2%) were females. The majority 64(48.5%) was aged 61-80 years. Overall, 74(56.1%) patients were aware that diabetes could affect their eyes, 57(43.2%) were never diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy, 76(57.6%)  had gained information about diabetic retinopathyfrom ophthalmologists, 61(46.2%) and 29(22%) respondents reported that eyes should be examined ‘only when vision is affected’ and ‘every 6 months’ respectively, 98(74.2%) said the biggest barrier in getting eyes examined earlier was ‘lack of knowledge’, 23(17.4%) believed surgery was done for diabetic retinopathy treatment and 33(25%) believed that surgery, laser and injections all can be used.  Significant relationship of diabetic retinopathy was found with duration of diabetes and the general health status (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Though more than half the patients were aware that diabetes could affect the eyes, awareness of diabetic retinopathy and its consequences was low.
