The dependence of power plants on energy sources such as diesel, natural gas and coal is almost 75%, encouraging the development of renewable energy in an effort to meet the electricity supply. One of them is the micro hydro power plant by utilizing the potential of existing water. The working principle of PLTMH is to change the potential energy of water into electrical energy. In this final project has been designed modeling of micro hydro power plant by using screw turbine (Archimedes Screw). The turbine used resembles a drill bit, with a diameter of a turbine of 26 cm, a screw width of 10 cm, and an amount of 10 pieces of blade. Measurements made on the modeling of micro hydro power plants include: water discharge, turbine rotation, generator rotation, voltage, current, torque and generator output power and efficiency. The parameters are measured by changing the water fall on the turbine from the position of the turbine head angle 00, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 700, 800  and 900 . The result of measurement that has been done on the parameters of micro hydro power plant modeling, obtained the highest measurement result at the corner of turbine head 400. The output power generated is 10.92 watts, torque is 0.60 Nm and efficiency of 14%. The results obtained are still low because the turbine rotation is less able to rotate the generator, where the generator torque is greater than the torque in the turbine. This is influenced by the small water discharges in the modeling of this micro hydro power plant.

The growth of technology will impact to the growth of data beyond limits of database management tools. One of the system is  Information Management System for Hospital it’s a high complexity problem solving method related to the load of data. Parallel computing is one of the technique that been used in HPC. The focus of this research will be emphasized to the design of parallel computing using message – passing model as a search system process in Information Management System for Hospital to find patient data. The design of parallel computing will be done in a way to shared computing data to a number of CPU (Master and Slave), the parallel computing configuration used on CPU (Master and Slave) will be using some stage FOSTER method that are partition, communication, aglomerasi and mapping. The test will be done computing data processing time between sequential and parallel time. Parallel computing design will be tested using speedup and efficiency calculation. The result of designing and testing parallel computing using message-passing model proved the patient data processing speed using parallel program is capable to overcome 1 CPU using sequential network topologi. On speed up method , the test indicate an increase on data transfer speed up using 3 parallel computing CPU. While using efficiency testing method, the efficiency point reached its peak when using 2 and 3 CPU. The Occurrence of decrease on speedup and efficiency point were caused by the minimal amount of data if handled by 7 parallel computing CPU. The Conclusion for this method is, the increase amount of CPU involved in the data processing using parallel computing is not proportional to the amount of time to processing data itself. It happened because every data processing task in terms of the amount of data that’s handled have an ideal amount of CPU limits to do the task itself.

TERAPIA DE INTEGRAÇÃO SENSORIAL E O TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA DE LITERATURA
Authors: Cardoso Nathalia Rodrigues , Blanco Marília Bazan
Published: January 2019

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) atrai a atenção de diversos pesquisadores devido a presença de características particulares, entre elas a resposta inconsistente a estímulos sensoriais. Pressupostos de Ayres postulam que a Integração Sensorial é a base para a aprendizagem e, desta maneira, a construção de estratégias sensoriais pode ser utilizada com o intuito de contribuir no planejamento pedagógico e processo de aprendizagem do aluno com TEA. O presente estudo visa identificar, por meio da Revisão Sistemática de Literatura, a eficácia da Integração Sensorial® de Ayres, bem como a aplicabilidade de estratégias sensoriais no processo de inclusão escolar do aluno com TEA. A partir da busca nos bancos de dados Periódicos Capes, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, SciELO e Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Capes, encontrou-se quatorze estudos disponíveis online e que abordam a temática de interesse. Aponta-se que a Terapia de Integração Sensorial apresenta bons resultados na intervenção de indivíduos com TEA, contudo, não foi encontrado nenhum estudo que descreva a utilização de estratégias sensoriais no cotidiano escolar desses alunos. Evidencia-se a necessidade da realização de estudos que verifiquem a aplicabilidade de estratégias sensoriais em atividades propostas em sala de aula, com o objetivo de amparar a inclusão escolar do aluno com TEA, mas que também mensurem a fidelidade da Integração Sensorial® de Ayres.
Gyuto Tantric Monastery: preservation and transmission of knowledge
Authors: Loshchenkov Aleksei Vyacheslavovich
Published: January 2019

The article is devoted to the coverage of the education system in the Gyuto tantric monastery, the introduction into scientific circulation of a complete list of subjects and names of texts, with their identification by the collected works of Indian and Tibetan authors. The fundamental sources and commentatorial literature are identified. The history of the monastery is presented. On the basis of textual analysis, the fundamental role of the texts of Zhe Tsongkhapa in the formation of the formation of this monastery is revealed. It is established that in order to understand the subjects studied in the monastery, they rely on the training manuals compiled by Gyuchen Kunga Dondrub, the founder of the monastery. When working with the materials, a combination of a classical textual approach and contextual analysis was used, taking into account the Buddhist commentary tradition. Methods of analytical comparison, structural and substantive classification were also used. Textual methods of accurate description of the structure of education are used to solve the tasks. The novelty of the article is due to the introduction into scientific circulation of a previously unexplored education system and its training manuals for obtaining Buddhist degrees in Tantra "Kyerimpa" and "Nagrampa". This will make it possible, when working with Tibetan-language texts stored at the Center for Oriental Manuscripts and Woodcuts (CVRK) and the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts (IWRS RAS), to identify and put into circulation, both directly sources under these names, and the literature commenting on them, created in Tibet and, possibly, in Buryatia. The study is of particular importance for determining the training program at Tantric faculties in the datsans of Buryatia, about which almost nothing is known, except that they belong to the program of the Gyuto and Gyume monasteries of Tibet.

Introdução: A afibrinogenemia é um hereditário do fibrinogênio do tipo I por defeito quantitativo com ausência plasmática total desde. As manifestações clínicas são variadas, podendo apresentar manifestações hemorrágicas leves, moderadas ou graves, assim como trombose. O diagnóstico pode ser suspeitado pelo coagulograma alterado. O tratamento será feito com reposição de fibrinogênio. Detalhamento do caso: Paciente, 6 anos de idade, sexo masculino deu entrada em serviço de Urgência e Emergência pediátrica devida a cefaleia intensa e aumento do perímetro cefálico após trauma em região parietal da cabeça. Menor tem afibrinogenemia hereditária diagnosticada aos 4 meses de vida. Tomografia de crânio mostrou aumento do tecido cutâneo do couro cabeludo de forma simétrica em toda a sua extensão, sem presença de lesão óssea ou acometimento intra-craniano. Paciente realizou tratamento com Crioprecipitado e Fibrinogênio e recebeu alta com quadro melhorado após 6 dias de tratamento e acompanhamento. Discussão: A afibrinogenemia é herdada como caráter autossômico recessivo, o que significa dizer que ambos os pais devem carregar o gene defeituoso para poder transmiti-lo. Após traumas, as crises hemorrágicas podem acontecer precocemente, mas em alguns casos podem ser manterem assintomáticas por longos períodos. Apesar de poder ocorrer hemorragia intracraniana potencialmente fatal, o prognóstico da afibrinogenemia é favorável com o diagnóstico precoce e tratamento adequado. A afibrinogenemia por ser uma doença sem cura e com controle, é de fundamental importância a orientação desde o diagnóstico da doença para os acidentes possam evoluir com trauma e ocasionar sangramentos que levem o paciente a óbito.
A New Approach to Enhancing the CO2 Capture Performance of Defective UiO-66 via Post-Synthetic Defect Exchange
Authors: Koutsianos Athanasios , Kazimierska Ewa , Barron Andrew R. , Taddei Marco , Andreoli Enrico
Published: January 2019

Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) are a subclass of MOFs known for their remarkable stability, especially in the presence of water. This makes them extremely attractive for practical applications, including CO2 capture from industrial emission sources; however, the CO2 adsorption capacity of Zr-MOFs is moderate compared to that of the best performing MOFs reported to date. Functionalization of Zr-MOFs with amino groups has been demonstrated to increase their affinity for CO2. In this work, we assessed the potential of post-synthetic defect exchange (PSDE) as an alternative approach to introduce amino functionalities at missing-cluster defective sites in formic acid modulated UiO-66. Both pyridine-containing (picolinic acid and nicotinic acid) and aniline-containing (3-aminobenzoic acid and anthranilic acid) monocarboxylates were integrated within defective UiO-66 with this method. Non-defective UiO-66 modified with linkers bearing the same amino groups (2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and 2-aminoterephthalic acid) were prepared by classical post-synthetic ligand exchange (PSE), in order to compare the effect of introducing functionalities at defective sites versus installing them on the backbone. PSDE reduces the porosity of defective UiO-66, but improves both the CO2 uptake and the CO2/N2 selectivity, whereas PSE has no effect on the porosity of non-defective UiO-66, improving the CO2 uptake but leaving selectivity unchanged. Modification of defective UiO-66 with benzoic acid reveals that pore size reduction is the main factor responsible for the observed uptake improvement, whereas the presence of nitrogen atoms in the pores seems to be beneficial for increasing selectivity.

HISTÓRIA DO DIREITO CONSTITUCIONAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: DE CASTRO MATHEUS FELIPE , Mezzaroba Orides
Published: January 2019

RESUMO: O presente artigo tem por tema a história da Constituição da República dos Estados Unidos do Brasil, de 1891, objetivando abrir um flanco de análise por meio do seu diálogo com o sistema econômico surgido no imediato fim da escravidão. O problema de pesquisa se concentra na contradição entre o texto constitucional, de modelo liberal econômico e o funcionamento do sistema econômico, então aparentemente incompatível com aquelas declarações. Parte-se da hipótese de que o problema não pode ser analisado numa relação de separação entre teoria e prática, mas, ao contrário, através de uma interpenetração dessas instancias através da Lei e do funcionamento efetivo das instituições estatais. O marco teórico adotado no texto para a análise é o materialismo histórico e os autores que serviram de base para a pesquisa se inscrevem nesse contexto. O método escolhido foi o dedutivo e o artigo está dividido em introdução, capítulo analítico, considerações finais e referenciais bibliográficos.

Health Care Reform: Can Tort Law Meet the Challenge
Authors: Caulfield Timothy A.
Published: January 2019

This article discusses the legal implications of the current trend toward cost containment and restructuring in the Canadian health care system. It examines the remedies available to patients who have been negatively affected by cost containment decisions.
Because physicians have ultimate control over the allocation of medical resources, doctors will likely be the primary defendants in malpractice litigation when expensive treatment or medical procedures are withheld from the patient for cost containment reasons. The various factors which are relevant to the success of these types of actions are examined, including a consideration of concepts such as the "locality rule" and "medical custom". The article then discusses whether hospitals and other third party decision makers are more appropriate defendants in cost containment litigation, and whether they could be found liable for their decisions. The author concludes that tort law may be, at least in the short term, a viable mechanism for patients who wish to obtain compensation for injuries that result from health care which is substandard due to cost containment strategies.
The Alarm Bell is Sounding and the Regulator is at the Door: Emergency Response, Reporting, and Investigations in the Age of Heightened Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement

Published: January 2019

In light of recent disasters in the oil and gas industry, there is increasing public pressure to develop more robust processes for responding to such disasters in Canada. In this article, the authors examine the emergency response procedures currently in place, and consider how oil and gas producers, carriers, and processors can improve these procedures. The article begins by outlining the emergency response planning and incident reporting obligations incumbent on the oil and gas industry, which is followed by an overview of the regulatory inspection powers that exist to investigate real and potential environmental, workplace, and safety incidents. Finally, the article considers what responding to an actual emergency would look like, and proposes best practices for the oil and gas industry.
The Impact of the Canadian Copyright Act on the Voices of Marginalized Groups
Authors: Reynolds Graham
Published: January 2019

For as long as stories have been written, they have been rewritten. Authors rewrite texts for a variety of reasons. This article will focus on one particular type of rewriting – namely, the rewriting of culturally significant texts from the perspective of marginalized groups that are either missing from or oppressed in the original text. These rewrites serve important social purposes. However, it is likely that many of these rewrites infringe Canadian copyright laws and laws with respect to moral rights. This article argues that works that rewrite culturally significant texts from the perspective of marginalized groups ought not to infringe copyright and violate moral rights in Canada. To this end, it suggests five amendments to Canada’s Copyright Act that would help ensure that the attempts by marginalized groups to express themselves through the rewriting of culturally significant texts cannot be enjoined by copyright owners and authors. Some of these proposed amendments have been incorporated into Bill C-32 (An Act to Amend the Copyright Act), the Government of Canada’s latest attempt at copyright reform.
The Law of Domicile: Re Foote Estate
Authors: Robertson Gerald B.
Published: January 2019

In the area of conflict of laws the concept of domicile has declined in importance over the last few decades, both as a connecting factor in choice of law and as a basis for jurisdiction, as well as a basis for recognition of foreign divorces. Consequently, it is quite rare these days to find a case devoted entirely to determining the question of a person’s domicile. For that reason alone the recent decision of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in Re Foote Estate is noteworthy. But what makes the case truly remarkable is the extent and depth of its scholarly review of the law of domicile. The Reasons for Judgment of Graesser J., spanning 546 paragraphs, contain what is unquestionably the most comprehensive and detailed judicial analysis of the law of domicile to be found in any Canadian case in recent times. Almost every aspect of domicile is canvassed with such depth and accuracy of analysis that the case will undoubtedly now be the starting reference point for practitioners and law students alike when grappling with the law of domicile.
The Administration of Justice? Certificate Proceedings, Charkaoui II, and the Value of Disclosure
Authors: Hudson Graham
Published: January 2019

In the wake of 9/11, Canada was among a number of Western states that instituted a wide range of legal frameworks designed to more efficiently prevent and suppress transnational terrorism. One of the defining features of its national security policy has since been the integration of a selection of intelligence agencies into a global counterterrorism network. Operationally distinct agencies, such as the RCMP, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the Communications Security Establishment, and the Canada Border Services Agency have been centrally coordinated towards the end of facilitating intelligence exchange within and across our borders. With few opportunities for public scrutiny or parliamentary and judicial review, the flow of information has gone on largely unregulated and, in a selection of notable cases, has contributed to serious human rights abuses both at home and abroad.
Courting Confusion? Three Recent Alberta Cases on Equality Rights Post-Kapp
Authors: Hamilton Jonnette Watson , Koshan Jennifer
Published: January 2019

This article examines current confusion surrounding how courts are to analyze challenges brought under s. 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The authors begin with a review of the 2008 Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v. Kapp, which gave s. 15(2) independent status to shield ameliorative laws, programs, and activities from the finding of discrimination, but left the application of s. 15(1) unclear. The authors then articulate how three recent Alberta cases on equality post-Kapp illustrate the new uncertainty surrounding how courts are to address equality rights. Through an analysis of the Supreme Court’s 2009 decision in Ermineskin Band and Nation v. Canada, and subsequent decisions of the Alberta Court of Appeal in Morrow v. Zhang and Cunningham v. Alberta (Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development), this article explores the Supreme Court’s failure to adequately guide lower courts and tribunals on how to apply s. 15 post-Kapp. For example, a framework for reconciling the new role of s. 15(2) and claims of under-inclusive ameliorative programs has yet to be developed. Further, the authors argue that the guidance that has been delivered has improperly narrowed the definition of discrimination to stereotyping and prejudice.

This article provides owners, and particular oil, gas, and oilsands producers, with an overview of various procurement processes and specific suggestions on how owners can structure such processes, draft tender documents to meet their goals, and avoid the liability that often arises out of the tendering process. In particular, the scale and cost of oil, gas, and oilsands projects, as well as the change in market conditions, raise new issues in the procurement context that owners should consider. The article concludes with a discussion of joint ventures, the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act process, and project liability.
Property Rights of Husband and Wife: A Brief Survey
Authors: Khetarpal Suraj
Published: January 2019

Under the Common Law a wife on marriage endowed her husband with all her worldly goods, and she also renounced all rights of ownership of any property she then, or in the future, might possess. The author examines the legislative departures from this position in England, Canada, Singapore and India. After establishing that the courts will apply "palm tree justice" where no definite intention as to the manner of ownership of property is ascertainable, the author concludes that this uncertainty in scope of judicial discretion should be removed as far as possible from the law.
Prescription of Title to Chattels
Authors: Cote J. E.
Published: January 2019

There is little direct authority for the statement that the Statute of Limitations bars only the remedy but does not affect the title to chattels. Mr. Côté concludes that, as "ownership" of a chattel is the sum of rights possessed with respect to it, when the rights in tort are extinguished, so also is ownership. This is in line with the objects of the statute.

The Element of Wrongful Pressure in a Finding of Duress
Authors: Rafferty Nicholas
Published: January 2019

The author expounds and criticizes the traditional notion that, in a claim for restitution based on duress, it must be shown that the victim was threatened with some unlawful action. After setting forth the common law development of duress, including comparisons between American and Commonwealth jurisprudence, the author argues that on occasion courts have shown a willingness to abandon the traditional view of what type of act must constitute wrongful pressure. In particular, some American courts have adopted a more flexible approach, using as a test of wrongful pressure, not the unlawfulness of the threatened act, but rather the coercive motive of the oppressor. Finally, the author discusses the possibility that duress could be extended to cover the situation where the threat involved is a denial of future contracts.

Matrimonial Property - The New Regime
Authors: Lown Peter J. M. , Bendiak Frances L.
Published: January 2019

On January 1,1979, the Alberta Legislature enacted the Matrimonial Property Act governing pro perty rights between married persons upon marital breakdown. The authors examine the legislation and attempt to answer questions likely to be ofinterest to practising lawyers, such as: Under what cir cumstances can an Alberta court take jurisdiction in matrimonial property application? What pro perty is governed by the Act What factors will the court consider when exercising the discretion granted to it under the Act What are the special rules relating to matrimonial home possession? In analysing these and other issues, the authors examine the wording of the legislation in light of its policy, and speculate upon ambiguities that must await judicial pronouncement for resolution. They point out that, depending upon the approach taken by the courts in construing the Act, the overall policy, to determine what is fair and equitable distribution of the property between the parties, may or may not be accomplished.

The Supreme Court of Canada, the House of Lords, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and Administrative Law
Authors: Clark D. H.
Published: January 2019

The Supreme Court of Canada's contribution to the jurisprudence of administra tive law has been weak and fitful, erratic and lacking in attention to the principles of its own previous decisions. Failure to articulate points of distinction between its decisions has led to uncertainty in the law. The speaker suggested that the insufficiency of the Court's reasoning and the inadequacy of its citation might be reduced if judgments were more often delivered by more members of the Court thus increasing the individual research and writing of the Court so that its earlier fcmons would be kept in view and the case law developed more coherently. Furthermore, the Court should foUow the House of Lords in not considering itself bound by ds own decisions. The speaker regretted the Court's tendency to take mechanically conceptualise approach to substantive administrative law issues- if Canadian courts are to keep pace with those of other jurisdictions, the Supreme Court of Canada cannot continue to use outworn mumbo-jumbo as substitute for identifyltZtJ «»*"*»* societal interests that are the stuff of /hefPe?kfr aho discussed and compared the contributions of the House of Lords and of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Although it has fewer members the House of Lords has more dissenters in administrative law decisions than the Supreme Court of Canada, (whereas the Privy Council until 1966 could not have dissent). While the S.C.C. has been inconsistent and weak, the Privy Council has been consistent and weak. Although there have been occasional achievements, between 1951 and 1971 the Privy Council rendered series of regressive decisions that impaired coherent development of the administrative law in England and in the Commonwealth.
