Published: February 2021

Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam which is always mentioned parallel to prayer. The problems that exist in zakat institutions in Indonesia are low level of trust in muzaki in zakat payments through official institutions and tend to distribute zakat directly to mustahik. Zakat can attract sufficient attention from Muslim intellectuals, especially in the fields of research related to the development of zakat management. However, the growing zakat information system does not make it easier for muzaki to choose mustahik preferences, even though choice recommendations of mustahik is needed to make it easier for muzaki to choose mustahik preferences. The researcher was interested in applying the concept of recommendation in the Zakat Radar application by using the content based filtering method to produce a mustahik recommendation system with the term frequency inverse document frquency (tf-idf) technique.. This system is built using the Java programming language and MySQL as a database. The mustahik recommendation system has been successfully implemented in the Radar Zakat application, which produces 5 mustahik recommendations based on the highest weighting of the similarity of mustahik criteria chosen by the user. Similarity of mustahik criteria is based on the query of mustahik criteria chosen by the user, 5 queries of mustahik criteria are mustahik income, residence, facilities, number of dependents, and mustahik employment status.

Indonesia is a large bamboo producer. Many benefits can be taken from bamboo trees, among others, as an alternative material for environmentally friendly construction, handicraft, and even become a safe material for use. Based on the property of its mechanical strength, bamboo has high tensile strength and fiber content, including fiber length, inter-fiber adhesive, namely lignin and the higher diameter of bamboo fiber, causing bamboo stems to become stronger and stiffer so that bamboo quality is getting better. One objective is to use a texture analysis of statistical features extraction of digital image processing. Feature extraction is a process to get the characteristics of visual perception. Texture information can be used to distinguish the surface properties of objects in images that are related to coarse and fine. This research uses a second-order statistical calculation of Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) by measuring contrast, energy, homogeneity, and correlation levels to determine roughness from bamboo image textures that have irregular patterns. The second method is to use similarity measurements with the K-NN method in which in this study K = 3 with testing images of 28 images obtained an accuracy of 0.8, precission of 0, 8 and f-measurement of 0.9.

Published: February 2021

Universities are designed to prepare graduates who are ready to enter the workforce and are able to develop a professional attitude. Educational institutions such as the University need a form of decisions in determining the right concentration for students, so that the learning process can be achieved well. The decision is very influential on the process of handling the choice of alternative concentration, choosing an appropriate concentration of interest will also have an impact on the research focus for the final assignment of students. This research develops student concentration selection system in Electrical. Currently the concentration determination system is based only on academic assessment alone, regardless of student interest, so that it can impact on student learning outcomes. The system was developed by combining academic judgment and interest inventory with three criteria, ie, interest tests using interest inventory, prerequisite concentration course grades, and GPA. The system is built using an intelligent system model that is Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making (FMADM), which helps the Department in the selection process and helps the process of career guidance on students. With this selection system, the Department can be provide the most suitable concentration decisions with interest in student.

Meaning and Natural Life
Authors: Turner Christopher
Published: February 2021

Employing the praxis method of theological reflection, this article draws on a spiritual care encounter with a person holding a worldview derived from an empirical approach to the natural world, in order to reflect on the nature of non-religious spirituality and its implications for the spiritual care sector. Non-religious spirituality is examined as a genuine form of spirituality. The hypothesis that the genuine nature of non-religious spirituality necessarily suggests that non-religious people can both receive and provide spiritual care is presented. Healthy secularity is examined as the underlying sociocultural condition for non-religious spiritual care to be recognized in a sector currently dominated by religious assumptions. The study concludes with a call to spiritual care educators and accrediting bodies in the Australian context to begin working toward a secular perspective that is inclusive of non-religious spirituality and spiritual care. The conclusions of the article will have significance for the global spiritual care community, particularly in countries recording increases in populations identifying as non-religious.

El presente artículo explica cuál es la noción de derecho en Leonardo Polo y cómo entendía el derecho natural. Después de una introducción, en el capítulo 2 se hace un análisis histórico, donde se revisa cómo evolucionaron estas nociones en la vida de Polo. El capítulo 3 se centra en la noción poliana de derecho. Con este concepto, en el capítulo 4 se reconstruye la noción de derecho natural que probablemente manejó Polo, para en el capítulo 5 sugerir cuál debería ser la metodología de estudio del derecho natural, según los cánones polianos.
La filosofía primera y los misterios revelados (I): Las nociones de causar y de dar, y el misterio de la gracia
Authors: Falgueras-Salinas Ignacio
Published: February 2021

La filosofía puede desenredar problemas humanos que obscurecen los misterios revelados. Este trabajo, primero de una serie sobre ese tema, presenta la noción de dar mediante un conocido texto agustiniano sobre la gracia. Y, tras confrontarlo con textos de autores semipelagianos, propone entender la gracia en clave donal, no causal. Si la actividad de la gracia fuera causal, quedarían imposibilitadas la libertad y el mérito; en cambio, ejercida según el dar, incluye a ambos. Ni pelagianos ni semipelagianos entendieron esto; s. Agustín, empero, descubrió dicha donalidad: los méritos derivan, conjuntamente, de los dones divinos y de nuestra colaboración con ellos.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Data on prescribing patterns of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) to older adult inpatients are limited. Objective: To assess changes in prescribing patterns of AEDs to older adult inpatients with late-onset epilepsy between 2009-2010 and 2015-2019, and to interpret any unexpected patterns over the 2015-2019 period. Methods: Patients aged ≥60 years with late-onset epilepsy from a tertiary center were selected. Demographic data, seizure characteristics and etiology, comorbidities, and comedications were analyzed, in addition to prescription regimens of inpatients taking AEDs to treat epilepsy. AED regimens were categorized into two groups: group 1 included appropriate AEDs (carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, valproic acid, gabapentin, clobazam, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, topiramate, and lacosamide); and group 2 comprised suboptimal AEDs (phenytoin and phenobarbital). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for prescription of suboptimal AEDs. Results: 134 patients were included in the study (mean age: 77.2±9.6 years). A significant reduction in the prescription of suboptimal AEDs (from 73.3 to 51.5%; p<0.001) was found; however, phenytoin remained the most commonly prescribed AED to older adult inpatients. We also found an increase in the prescription of lamotrigine (from 5.5 to 33.6%) and levetiracetam (from 0 to 29.1%) over time. Convulsive status epilepticus (SE) and acute symptomatic seizures associated with remote and progressive etiologies were risk factors for the prescription of suboptimal AEDs. Conclusions: Phenytoin was the main suboptimal AED prescribed in our population, and convulsive SE and acute symptomatic seizures associated with some etiologies were independent risk factors for phenytoin prescription. These results suggest ongoing commitment to reducing the prescription of suboptimal AEDs, particularly phenytoin in Brazilian emergence rooms.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Multimorbidity is common among adults and associated with socioeconomic deprivation, polypharmacy, poor quality of life, functional impairment, and mortality. Objectives: To identify the frequency of multimorbidity among older adults inpatients with neurological disorders (NDs), stratify clusters of chronic comorbidities associated with NDs in degrees, and verify whether multimorbidity was associated with demographic data, readmission, long length of hospital stay (LOS), and hospital mortality in this population. Methods: We enrolled patients aged ≥60 years successively admitted to a tertiary medical center with NDs between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2010. Results: Overall, 1,154 NDs and 2,679 comorbidities were identified among 798 inpatients aged ≥60 years (mean: 75.76±9.12). Women comprised 435 (54.51%) of patients. Multimorbidity was detected in 92.61% (739) of patients, with a mean of 3.88±1.67 (median: 4.0), ranging from 2 to 10 chronic diseases. Patients with epilepsy, dementia, and movement disorders had the highest degrees of clusters of chronic morbidities (>50% of them with ≥5 chronic disorders), followed by those with cerebrovascular and neuromuscular disorders. Multimorbidity was associated with long LOS (p<0.001) and readmission (p=0.039), but not with hospital mortality (p=0.999). Conclusions: Multimorbidity was preponderant among older adults inpatients with NDs, and NDs had a high degree of associated chronic comorbidities. Multimorbidity, but not isolated NDs, was associated with readmission and long LOS. These results support ward-based, neurohospitalist-directed, interdisciplinary care for older adults inpatients with NDs to face multimorbidity.

Published: February 2021

Resumo Durante cerca de cem anos, ou seja, entre a promulgação do Código Criminal de 1830 e do Decreto n. 24.776 de 14 de julho de 1934, os Autos Crimes de Exibição de Autógrafo atuaram como ações preparatórias que antecediam a instauração de processos de injúria e calúnia impressas. Por conseguinte, baseando-se em uma série desses processos criminais julgados nas Comarcas de Campinas e Bragança, entre 1859 e 1935, este artigo analisa os efeitos da expansão da malha tipográfica pelo interior de São Paulo, atento às transformações impostas pela chegada de prelos e jornais. Com efeito, além de uma reflexão sobre as práticas de leitura em sociedades marcadas por índices de analfabetismo significativos, a pesquisa investiga os imbricamentos entre cultura impressa e cultura jurídica no Brasil no momento em que os novos regimes constitucionais do século XIX tiveram que lidar com o controle e regulamentação legal da produção e circulação de impressos.
O Derradeiro golpe à esquerda armada brasileira: A derrubada de Salvador Allende e o fim do sonho revolucionário na trajetória de Vera Sílvia Magalhães
Authors: CODARIN Higor
Published: February 2021

Resumo Animado pelas comemorações dos 50 anos do governo da coalizão de esquerda Unidade Popular (UP) no Chile, liderado por Salvador Allende, este artigo busca contribuir, através do vislumbre da importância das análises biográficas para compreensão do engajamento militante, às reflexões a respeito da trajetória dos militantes da esquerda brasileira exilados no Chile durante o governo Allende. Por intermédio da trajetória de Vera Sílvia Magalhães, militante da esquerda armada vinculada ao Movimento Revolucionário 8 de Outubro (DI-GB/MR-8), exilada desde 1970, objetiva-se reconstruir a atmosfera de circulação de exilados em Nuestra America. Demonstra-se, por uma perspectiva, como o Chile passou a ser, após a vitória da Unidade Popular, um polo de atração aos militantes latino-americanos e, por outra, como o golpe civil-militar chileno, que culminou no suicídio de Salvador Allende, não foi apenas o fim da "via chilena ao socialismo". No limite, ele representa o golpe final desfechado ao projeto da revolução brasileira e latino-americana pela via da luta armada, reconfigurando a visão sobre o exílio, até então compreendido dentro de uma lógica de provisoriedade e curta duração, colocando na ordem do dia a questão do desengajamento.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the general characteristics of nursing professionals and assess the influence of overcommitment on perceived climacteric symptoms and on the quality of life of nursing professionals. Method: A cross-sectional, analytical study of 152 nursing auxiliaries and assistants aged 40 years or older was conducted at 3 hospitals in the interior of São Paulo state. Sociodemographic data were collected and the Blatt-Kupperman Menopausal Index, Women´s Health Questionnaire, Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form Health Survey and Effort-Reward Imbalance were applied in 2017. A descriptive analysis was performed and network analysis was carried out. Results: Participants had a mean age of 50.23 years (SD ±7.1). Group 1 comprising 61 (40.1%) women with overcommitment had poorer quality of life as well as more severe climacteric symptoms. Conclusions: Presence of overcommitment seems to influence the negative perception of climacteric symptomatology and quality of life.
Reflection on the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and its contributions to nursing research
Authors: González-Soto Cinthia Elizabeth , Menezes Tânia Maria de Oliva , Guerrero-Castañeda Raúl Fernando
Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To elaborate a reflection on the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and her contributions to nursing research. Methods: This is a reflective theoretical study based on one of Merleau-Ponty's works and recent scientific literature on the subject. Results and discussion: Three themes were developed that combine the contribution of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, starting from the central concepts of philosophy and nursing care. The approach to the body not only from a biological expression, but from the phenomenology of the lived body provides an existentialist vision of the understanding of the human being immersed in the world and its relations with holistic care. Final considerations: Merleau-Ponty's philosophical reference is very useful in the generation of nursing knowledge, constituting a support for phenomenological research since it allows the understanding of the subjective phenomena of care through the body.

The Co-Construction of Interculturality Through an Ecological Perspective in Teletandem Activities
Authors: Schaefer Rodrigo
Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT Telecollaboration involves the use of online technologies in the context of language teaching and learning (O’DOWD, 2013). This study sought to understand how the co-construction of interculturality took place in a specific telecollaborative context - teletandem (TELLES; VASSALLO, 2006; TELLES, 2015a, 2015b). For the analysis, data from a teletandem session, a mediation session, an experience report and an interview were included. From an ecological perspective (VAN LIER, 2004; KRAMSCH; STEFFENSEN, 2008), the outcomes showed that the co-construction of interculturality was a process, that is, it occurred over time and through different instances. Put differently, instances subsequent to the teletandem session, e.g. the mediation session and the experience report, were essential for this co-construction.
O ensino do “perfecto compuesto” em E/LE a partir de notícias
Authors: Oliveira André Silva , Prata Nadja Paulino Pessoa
Published: February 2021

RESUMO Sabendo que o pretérito perfecto compuesto em espanhol expressa anterioridade da situação denotada em relação a um ponto de referência situado no presente (RAE, 2010), pautamos o nosso trabalho na descrição e análise desta categoria a partir de notícias escritas em espanhol e veiculadas de forma online por um jornal hispânico, tendo em vista a sua contribuição para o ensino de Espanhol como Língua Estrangeira (E/LE). Dada a relação entre o uso deste tempo verbal em espanhol e a construção textual-discursiva da notícia, buscamos refletir sobre as contribuições que a vertente funcionalista pode aportar ao ensino-aprendizagem de línguas (maternas e/ou estrangeiras), sem desconsiderar o que apregoa a gramática normativa da língua espanhola em relação ao emprego do pretérito perfecto compuesto.

Published: February 2021

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo tratar do ensino de português brasileiro para imigrantes a partir de atividades sociais (VYGOTSKY, 2001; LEONTIEV, 1977; ENGËSTROM, 2011, VYGOTSKY; LURIA; LEONTIEV, 2010), compreendidas como atividades da vida cotidiana. Para evidenciá-las, comentamos o trabalho didático-pedagógico realizado com base na atividade social “procurar um emprego”. Procuramos, assim, responder à pergunta: de que maneira(s) o ensino de Português como Língua Adicional (PLA), com base em atividades sociais, pode ser uma forma de os educandos imigrantes ampliarem o seu repertório e construírem mobilidade? Visando encontrar uma resposta, discorremos sobre o trabalho desenvolvido em duas turmas de alunos haitianos de um Centro Integrado de Educação de Jovens e Adultos. A análise dos dados parece indicar as atividades sociais como possibilidade para construção do currículo de PLA.
Emoções e Ensino Crítico de Línguas: uma abordagem político-cultural das emoções de uma professora de Inglês
Authors: Oliveira Ana Cláudia Turcato de
Published: February 2021

RESUMO Há pouco tempo, o papel das emoções na vida docente, bem como seu impacto na sala de aula de línguas, foi amplamente negligenciado (BENESCH, 2012). Após o advento da “virada afetiva”, o campo da Linguística Aplicada (LA) começou a contemplar estudos sobre emoções (BARCELOS, 2015; PAVLENKO, 2013). Recentemente, a vertente crítica das emoções buscou discutir as relações de ideologia e poder em sua constituição, enfatizando seus aspectos sociais, culturais e políticos (ZEMBYLAS, 2003, 2005). Assim, embasado nas concepções críticas para o ensino de línguas e emoções, buscamos neste estudo de caso discutir como as emoções de uma professora de Inglês de escola pública são formadas, e quais são os fatores que as constituem. Para tanto, analisamos narrativas da professora-participante, que construíram categorias compostas por emoções variadas, tais como: satisfação, medo, insegurança e esperança. Concluímos que a opção pelo ensino crítico de línguas despertou emoções na professora que geram resistência e contestação aos discursos dominantes.
A Sufficient Statistic for Influence in Structured Multiagent Environments
Authors: Oliehoek Frans , Witwicki Stefan , Kaelbling Leslie
Published: February 2021

Making decisions in complex environments is a key challenge in artificial intelligence (AI). Situations involving multiple decision makers are particularly complex, leading to computational intractability of principled solution methods. A body of work in AI has tried to mitigate this problem by trying to distill interaction to its essence: how does the policy of one agent influence another agent? If we can find more compact representations of such influence, this can help us deal with the complexity, for instance by searching the space of influences rather than the space of policies. However, so far these notions of influence have been restricted in their applicability to special cases of interaction. In this paper we formalize influence-based abstraction (IBA), which facilitates the elimination of latent state factors without any loss in value, for a very general class of problems described as factored partially observable stochastic games (fPOSGs). On the one hand, this generalizes existing descriptions of influence, and thus can serve as the foundation for improvements in scalability and other insights in decision making in complex multiagent settings. On the other hand, since the presence of other agents can be seen as a generalization of single agent settings, our formulation of IBA also provides a sufficient statistic for decision making under abstraction for a single agent. We also give a detailed discussion of the relations to such previous works, identifying new insights and interpretations of these approaches. In these ways, this paper deepens our understanding of abstraction in a wide range of sequential decision making settings, providing the basis for new approaches and algorithms for a large class of problems.

India continues to struggle with the combined effects of water stress alongside poor access to water and sanitation. However, data-driven infrastructure planning is helping to bring a more integrated, sustainable approach to water management and the provision of water, sanitation and hygiene in rural areas. Working with non-governmental organisations in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, a project was undertaken to introduce consistent digital data collection, analysis and sharing processes for water resources and water demand data. Key outputs from the project included a toolkit and mobile application, the wider adoption of which could transform rural water access.

The existing research on modified asphalt is primarily focused on how to improve the high- and low-temperature performances (high-temperature rutting and low-temperature cracking) of asphalt, but the improvement of the anti-ageing performance of asphalt is also important. The research objects of the present study were equivalent-penetration (high-temperature performance) and equivalent-ductility (low-temperature performance) asphalt specimens, and the anti-ageing performances of different specimens were compared from both the macro- and micro-perspectives. From the macro-perspective, taking the penetration, ductility, viscosity and softening point of asphalt as the experimental indexes, the anti-ageing performances of different asphalt specimens were compared and analysed based on the changes in different indicators at different ageing times. From the micro-perspective, the macro-test results of asphalt specimens with different durabilities were verified by an asphalt component test and the analysis of environmental scanning electron microscopy images. The research results have certain theoretical value for scientifically understanding the technical characteristics of different modifiers, the research and development of modifiers and the formation mechanism of modified asphalt.

Occupant behaviour (OB) is impacted by several interdisciplinary factors: environmental, psychosocial, cultural and economic. One of these impacting factors is the climate. In this study, the patterns of OB interactions with heating, cooling, lighting, equipment, windows and shading collected in questionnaire surveys were used as input data in the simulation models of two university buildings. The buildings, a green-rated and a non-rated one, are in Western Sydney University in Sydney, Australia. Then, the models were simulated in eight different climate zones in Australia. Therefore, this research aimed to understand how different climate zones may impact the energy related to OB and compare this impact between a green-rated building and a building without any rating. The results showed that there is no correlation between climate and OB and the levels of discomfort are related to the cooling season. The green building is less subjected to external changes, indicating that in buildings with automatic and properly controlled centralised management systems, the impacts related to the misuse of energy due to OB would be almost irrelevant. The results of this study should not be extended to other occupant behavioural patterns or situations. The results should be confined within the present research and context.

Objective: To describe the prevalence of oral manifestations of hypophosphatemic rickets in patients treated in a Peruvian referral pediatric hospital during the years 2012-2016. Material and methods: An observational, descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of patients diagnosed with hypophosphatemic rickets who attended the outpatient clinic of the Stomatology Service and the Genetics Service of the National Institute of Child Health (INSN), Lima, Peru, between the years 2012-2016. The research project was assessed and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Health Service. Medical records stored in a database of the health institution with the Code CIE E83.3, which corresponds to the diagnosis of Hypophosphatemic Rickets, were requested for the study. Results: Fifteen children received health care, of which only 10 were treated at the Stomatology Service. The distribution of the data was obtained from these 10 patients according to the proposed objective. A higher frequency of gingival lesions was found at the soft tissue level (41.18%); at the bone tissue level, only one case of dentigerous cyst was observed; and at the dental level, 90% of the patients had dental caries. Conclusion: The most frequent oral manifestations of hypophosphatemic rickets in pediatric patients treated at the National Institute of Child Health (2012-2016) were gingivitis and dental caries.

Introduction: This study evaluated the influence of sonic vibration and thermocycling on the bond strength of fiberglass posts using conventional dual-cured and self-adhesive resin cements. Material and Methods: Ninety-six single-rooted endodontically treated teeth were divided randomly into eight groups according to the cement used (dual-cured or self-adhesive resin cement), use of sonic vibration during post accommodation, and aging conditions (24h in distilled water or 5,000 thermal cycles). The fiberglass posts (White Post DC1, FGM) were cleaned with alcohol, treated with silane and cemented with dual-cured (Allcem Core, FGM) or with self-adhesive resin cement (seT, SDI). For groups in which sonic vibration was used, the posts were accommodated, and sonic vibration was applied for 10 s using a special tip placed on top of the post (Sonic Smart Device, FGM). Pull-out tests were performed after storage in distilled water for 24h at 37°C or after thermocycling (5000 cycles, at 5°C and 55°C). The results were evaluated using three-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05). Results: Significant differences were not observed between the bond strengths of dual-cured (87.93±41.81 N) and self-adhesive cement (82.53±41.43 N). Bond strength for the sonic vibration groups (100.36±42.35 N) was significantly higher than for groups without sonic vibration (70.13±34.90 N). There were significant differences between specimens subjected to thermocycling (98.33±39.42 N) and those stored for 24h in distilled water (72.16±39.67 N). Conclusion: It can be concluded that both sonic vibration and thermocycling significantly improved bond strength of fiberglass posts with the two evaluated resin cements.

Purpose: Two important factors in dental prosthesis are making an accurate impression and producing a suitable cast which represents the exact relationship between prepared tooth and oral structures. This study, aimed to investigate the effects of different combinations of impression and pouring materials on marginal and internal adaptation of premolar zirconia crowns. Material and Methods: Forty maxillary premolars were prepared considering round shoulder finish line. The impressions were made either by additional (Panasil) or condensation (Speedex) silicon, and poured by two different types of gypsum materials (Siladent or GC gypsum) (N=10). Zirconia crowns were fabricated using a CAD-CAM system. The crowns were cemented, and the samples were cut in bucco-lingual direction. Marginal and internal gaps were measured by stereomicroscope (×25). Results: The mean marginal gaps for Pansil-Siladent, Panasil-GC, Speedex-Siladent, and Speedex-GC were 141 μm, 143 μm, 131 μm, and 137 μm respectively. The internal gaps were 334 μm, 292 μm, 278 μm, and 257 μm respectively. The independent T-Student test showed no significant differences in average marginal or internal gap among various impression and gypsum materials or their interactions (p>0.05). Two-way ANOVA test showed no significant differences in maximum marginal or internal gap among various impression and gypsum materials and their interactions (p>0.05). Conclusion: The present study revealed no statistically significant difference in marginal/internal gap among crowns prepared using different combinations of impression-pouring materials evaluated.
