Near Infrared Efficiency Enhancement of Silicon Photodiodes by Integration of Metal Nanostructures Supporting Surface Plasmon Polaritrons
Authors: Scattolo Elia , Cian Alessandro , Petti Luisa , Lugli Paolo , Giubertoni Damiano , Paternoster Giovanni
Published: January 2023

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in detectors capable of detecting single photons in the near-infrared (NIR), mainly due to the emergence of new applications such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR) for, e.g., autonomous driving. A silicon single-photon avalanche diode is surely one of the most interesting and available technologies, although it yields a low efficiency due to the low absorption coefficient of Si in the NIR. Here, we aim at overcoming this limitation through the integration of complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) -compatible nanostructures on silicon photodetectors. Specifically, we utilize silver grating arrays supporting surface plasmons polaritons (SPPs) to superficially confine the incoming NIR photons and therefore to increase the probability of photons generating an electron-hole pair. First, the plasmonic silver array is geometrically designed using time domain simulation software to achieve maximum detector performance at 950 nm. Then, a plasmonic silver array characterized by a pitch of 535 nm, a dot width of 428 nm, and a metal thickness of 110 nm is integrated by means of the focused ion beam technique on the detector. Finally, the integrated detector is electro-optically characterized, demonstrating a QE of 13% at 950 nm, 2.2 times higher than the reference. This result suggests the realization of a silicon device capable of detecting single NIR photons, at a low cost and with compatibility with standard CMOS technology platforms.
Genetic Algorithm-Based Grouping Strategy for IEEE 802.11ah Networks
Authors: Garcia-Villegas Eduard , Lopez-Garcia Alejandro , Lopez-Aguilera Elena
Published: January 2023

The IEEE 802.11ah standard is intended to adapt the specifications of IEEE 802.11 to the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario. One of the main features of IEEE 802.11ah consists of the Restricted Access Window (RAW) mechanism, designed for scheduling transmissions of groups of stations within certain periods of time or windows. With an appropriate configuration, the RAW feature reduces contention and improves energy efficiency. However, the standard specification does not provide mechanisms for the optimal setting of RAW parameters. In this way, this paper presents a grouping strategy based on a genetic algorithm (GA) for IEEE 802.11ah networks operating under the RAW mechanism and considering heterogeneous stations, that is, stations using different modulation and coding schemes (MCS). We define a fitness function from the combination of the predicted system throughput and fairness, and provide the tuning of the GA parameters to obtain the best result in a short time. The paper also includes a comparison of different alternatives with regard to the stages of the GA, i.e., parent selection, crossover, and mutation methods. As a proof of concept, the proposed GA-based RAW grouping is tested on a more constrained device, a Raspberry Pi 3B+, where the grouping method converges in around 5 s. The evaluation concludes with a comparison of the GA-based grouping strategy with other grouping approaches, thus showing that the proposed mechanism provides a good trade-off between throughput and fairness performance.

Published: January 2023

The economic and environmental sustainability of extensive livestock production systems requires the optimisation of soil management, pasture production and animal grazing. Soil compaction is generally viewed as an indicator of soil degradation processes and a determinant factor in crop productivity. In the Montado silvopastoral ecosystem, characteristic of the Iberian Peninsula, animal trampling is mentioned as a variable to consider in soil compaction. This study aims: (i) to assess the spatial variation in the compaction profile of the 0–0.30 m deep soil layer over several years; (ii) to evaluate the effect of animal trampling on soil compaction; and (iii) to demonstrate the utility of combining various technological tools for sensing and mapping indicators of soil characteristics (Cone Index, CI; and apparent electrical conductivity, ECa), of pastures’ vegetative vigour (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI) and of cows’ grazing zones (Global Positioning Systems, GPS collars). The significant correlation between CI, soil moisture content (SMC) and ECa and between ECa and soil clay content shows the potential of using these expedient tools provided by the development of Precision Agriculture. The compaction resulting from animal trampling was significant outside the tree canopy (OTC) in the four evaluated dates and in the three soil layers considered (0–0.10 m; 0.10–0.20 m; 0.20–0.30 m). However, under the tree canopy (UTC), the effect of animal trampling was significant only in the 0–0.10 m soil layer and in three of the four dates, with a tendency for a greater CI at greater depths (0.10–0.30 m), in zones with a lower animal presence. These results suggest that this could be a dynamic process, with recovery cycles in the face of grazing management, seasonal fluctuations in soil moisture or spatial variation in specific soil characteristics (namely clay contents). The NDVI shows potential for monitoring the effect of livestock trampling during the peak spring production phase, with greater vigour in areas with less animal trampling. These results provide good perspectives for future studies that allow the calibration and validation of these tools to support the decision-making process of the agricultural manager.
Investigation of Surface Layer Condition of SiAlON Ceramic Inserts and Its Influence on Tool Durability When Turning Nickel-Based Superalloy
Authors: Grigoriev Sergey N. , Volosova Marina A. , Okunkova Anna A.
Published: January 2023

SiAlON is one of the problematic and least previously studied but prospective cutting ceramics suitable for most responsible machining tasks, such as cutting sophisticated shapes of aircraft gas turbine engine parts made of chrome–nickel alloys (Inconel 718 type) with increased mechanical and thermal loads (semi-finishing). Industrially produced SiAlON cutting inserts are replete with numerous defects (stress concentrators). When external loads are applied, the wear pattern is difficult to predict. The destruction of the cutting edge, such as the tearing out of entire conglomerates, can occur at any time. The complex approach of additional diamond grinding, lapping, and polishing combined with an advanced double-layer (CrAlSi)N/DLC coating was proposed here for the first time to minimize it. The criterion of failure was chosen to be 0.4 mm. The developed tri-nitride coating sub-layer plays a role of improving the main DLC coating adhesion. The microhardness of the DLC coating was 28 ± 2 GPa, and the average coefficient of friction during high-temperature heating (up to 800 °C) was ~0.4. The average durability of the insert after additional diamond grinding, lapping, polishing, and coating was 12.5 min. That is superior to industrial cutting inserts and those subjected to (CrAlSi)N/DLC coating by 1.8 and 1.25 times, respectively.

Authors: Pi Zhenfei , Aoyagi Kiyoshi , Arima Kazuhiko , Wu Xiaoliang , Ye Zhaojia , Jiang Yawen
Published: January 2023

(1) Background: Currently, residents ≥ 60 and ≥65 years old in Beijing, China, are eligible for free influenza and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines (PPSV23), respectively. The present study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of current and alternative strategies of dual influenza and PPSV23 vaccination among the elderly in Beijing. (2) Methods: We developed a Markov state-transition model to compare the costs and the quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) associated with four influenza and PPSV23 vaccination strategies among the elderly in Beijing. The strategies were as follows: (1) no vaccination; (2) only flu vaccine for people ≥ 60 years old; (3) flu vaccine for people ≥ 60 years old and PPSV23 for people ≥ 65 years old; and (4) dual influenza vaccines and PPSV23 for people ≥ 60 years old. Incremental costs and QALYs were quantified to determine the optimal option. If dominant strategies emerged, the Chinese gross domestic product per capita in 2021 (80,976 CNY) was used as the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold to covert QALYs into the monetary equivalent. (3) Results: The current program saved costs and increased QALYs compared to no vaccination or flu vaccine-only strategies. However, extending free PPSV23 to people ≥ 60 years old saved 0.35 CNY additionally while increasing QALYs marginally compared with the current policy. Results were robust in all sensitivity analyses. (4) Conclusion: Beijing’s current dual influenza and pneumococcal vaccination program was cost-effective among the elderly compared with the preceding policies of no vaccination and flu-only immunization programs. However, the program can further save money while enhancing the population health by extending PPSV23 to all people ≥ 60 years old.

In the new year 2023, the Russian state and society entered with the need to solve a number of issues and problems in the field of education, not only accumulated earlier, but also acquired directly during 2022. The prevailing, first of all, foreign policy situation left no doubt about the need to abandon the so-called«Bologna system», in connection with which appropriate decisions were taken at the government level. Due to the prevailing final understanding of the rejection and inequality of the Russian side as a participant in the Bologna process, almost all its participants took absolutely correct and appropriate measures of state response to the current situation. The expert scientific community began to speak out and exchange their positions on the upcoming transformations both in the system of «school education» and higher education. This article presents the opinions of Russian scientists, mainly doctors of sciences, representing various branches of modern Russian science — philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, lawyers, economists on the directions of transformations in the Russian education system in the near future.

Les produits agro-alimentaires de qualité : remarques sur leurs liens au territoire
Authors: Pilleboue Jean
Published: January 2023

Producteurs agricoles, industries agro-alimentaires et, depuis peu, grande distribution font assaut de références à des territoires pour affermir leurs assertions quant à la qualité de leurs produits. Saisi par les politiques, ce discours peut même prendre des accents régionalistes, voire nationalistes. Cohérente, la construction de la qualité territorialisée en France apparaît pourtant aussi comme un système de la confusion. Celle-ci naît moins de la complexité des signes de qualité et de la profusion de leurs références territoriales que du recours à des dimensions diverses de la notion de territoire. Surtout, les incertaines preuves à statut scientifique du lien qualité -territoire sont submergées par les allégations métaphoriques proférées par les acteurs dominants de la sphère agroalimentaire.

L'agriculture gersoise pratique largement les grandes cultures. Des innovations organisât ' tonnelles portant sur l'aménagement parcellaire, les statuts fonciers et le partage d'outils de production présentent la compétitivité dans un cadre morphologique peu adapté. La cohésion sociale qui s'en trouve renforcée souffre pourtant d'une tension foncière qu'accroît la réforme de la PAC. Ces phénomènes imposent un réexamen des niveaux d'organisation de l'espace rural ainsi qu'une discussion des incidences de ces innovations sociales, foncières et techniques sur les recompositions territoriales. Le rôle des déterminants morphologiques sur les itinéraires de développement agricole est enfin débattu.
Pratiques sportives et territoires : les atouts des régions

Published: January 2023

La place que le sport et les activités ludiques ont pris dans l'organisation des territoires mérite attention. A côté des sports de compétition établis à partir des clubs et des équipements urbains, un ensemble de pratiques ludo-sportives se développe en marge des institutions. La connaissance de ces cultures sportives en région souligne comment à l'ère de la mondialisation se réorganisent des pratiques identitaires et se développent d'autres usages susceptibles de résister à l'offre uniformisante des cultures monde. Dans ce jeu, le sport participe à l'aménagement du territoire et s'affirme comme un des atouts des régions.
Structures urbaines et sports professionnels dans le Sud-Ouest

Published: January 2023

Urban structures and professional sports in the south west of France. On the French scale the location of professional sports clubs corresponds to the urban hierarchy : larger towns increase the number and the quality of their teams, whereas smaller towns must rather commit themselves to a strategy of single activities. On the whole the South West of France is inscribed in this general hierarchical schemes, but offers something special linked up to he presence of a sport with a strong regional vocation : rubgy. This sport allows many small towns to filter into sporting elites. Yet the recent changes in professional sports and those to come might soon cause the original regional structure to disappear.
L'émergence de nouveaux territoires de la prospective : de la comarca des géographes à une structure intercommunale nouvelle
Authors: Clarimont Sylvie
Published: January 2023

En Espagne comme en France, la commune demeure l'échelon administratif de base. Toutefois, dès la fin du XIXe siècle, diverses façons de réduire « l'émiettement communal » sont envisagées. Les géographes contribuent largement à cette réflexion plaidant pour la reconnaissance d'un échelon supracommunal, la comarca ou son équivalent français, « le pays ». La décentralisation administrative entreprise en Espagne dès 1978, relance le débat autour de la pertinence du découpage territorial. Le régime d'administration locale relève désormais, Outre-Pyrénées, des régions. Certaines comme ¡a Catalogne ou, plus récemment, l'Aragon, se dotent d'un découpage en comarcas. Quels enseignements tirer de l'observation des conditions d'émergence de ces structures administratives nouvelles, en Aragon ?
La création de paysages viticoles : une histoire de matériaux
Authors: Martin Jean-Claude
Published: January 2023

Les paysages viticoles illustrent l'activité créatrice des vignerons au fil des siècles. Les caractéristiques géographiques locales structurent la topographie du paysage. Les vignerons sont les concepteurs et les réalisateurs de l'aménagement paysager. Une série d'exemples met en avant les matériaux et le savoir- faire local. Pierre, végétaux, bois, argile, métaux et plastique sont utilisés dans des contextes liés à l'espace viticole et influencés par la société de chaque époque. La gestion de l'eau est un facteur déterminant à Porto, à Banyuls et dans le Médoc. Les techniques des vignerons s'inspirent des savoirs faire extérieurs. Le deuxième volet concerne les supports de la vigne. Certains ont disparus avec la modernisation de la viticulture. La pierre, le bois pour les échalas ont reculé devant le métal à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Published: January 2023

O uso de informação contendo inverdades ou fatos deturpados, sobretudo, veiculação de notícias falsas ou “fake news”, é um fenômeno que tende a ocasionar ônus diversos a micro ou macro cenários. O presente artigo possui caráter descritivo analítico e busca debater as fake news nas eleições e sua relação ao Direito de Personalidade e de Responsabilidade, à luz da jurisprudência brasileira sobre uso de desinformação e fake news. O estudo se desenvolve a partir da análise dos conceitos do termo Fake News, e sua relação com a desinformação e a evolução da pós-verdade relacionando a tríade ao processo eleitoral, e os impactos que a fake news - desinformação pós-verdade. A seguir, o texto se debruça na análise do Direito à Personalidade e da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana, que são inerentes ao indivíduo e como esses direitos são afetados pelos processos de enfatização das fake news, dentro das perspectivas dos direitos individuais e coletivos ora fundamentados na Constituição. Por fim, o estudo aborda as questões referentes à responsabilidade civil e criminal do indivíduo que efetiva a ação de fabricação ou difusão das fake News, desinformação e promoção do fenômeno da pós-verdade, bem como os impactos causados por tais ações. A luz do que foi trazido no presente podemos então concluir que a proteção aos direitos à personalidade é resguardado em todas as esferas do direito. O uso indiscriminado de desinformação e fake news no processo eleitoral brasileiro, tende a impactar negativamente a ordem democrática, logo os direitos de personalidade, e, portanto, as ações de combate e educação devem ser imputadas e concretas no cotidiano da população, à luz da Constituição, com base na legislação infraconstitucional, na doutrina e na jurisprudência brasileira.

Published: January 2023

In wireless communications such as LoRa, it is necessary key generation to secure data. It is intended that the data sent is not easily attacked by attackers. One way to obtain a secure key is a high RSSI correlation coefficient value. In this research, a system was created to improve Reciprocity Channel Probing in order to obtain a high correlation coefficient value. The system is designed using the Savitzky Golay Filter method. The test was carried out in two conditions, namely indoor and outdoor. In addition, the test uses the Spreading Factor value from SF-7 to SF-10. The results of the measurement correlation coefficient in outdoor conditions are better than indoor conditions. The result of the highest measurement correlation coefficient in indoor conditions is 0.51 at SF-10. Meanwhile, in outdoor conditions, the highest measurement correlation coefficient is 0.81 at SF-7. The Savitzky Golay Filter method can increase the correlation coefficient up to 67.52% in indoor testing. The average percentage increase in indoor conditions is more than 30% and outdoor conditions is more than 15%. Therefore, that the Savitzky Golay Filter method is suitable for use in the pre-process stage because it can significantly increase the correlation coefficient.

Authors: Bouqalieh Bassam K.
Published: January 2023

This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of corporate governance principles on financial performance in Jordanian family companies. The study population consisted of industrial companies listed in the Amman Stock Exchange during the period (2014-2018). Corporate governance was measured by: (the size of the company’s board of directors, the separation of the positions of the chairman and the CEO, the independence of the board members and the percentage of ownership of major shareholders), while the financial performance was measured using financial ratios (profitability and liquidity) and the size of the company and leverage were used as adjusting variables.

The study sample consisted of (34) family-owned industrial companies listed in the Amman Stock Exchange out of (51) companies with a percentage of (66.6%) of the total number of industrial companies. The method of multiple-regression analysis was used to determine the effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable, in addition to measuring the degree of interpretation of the independent variables of the variation in the dependent variable.

The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant impact of the implementation of family-business governance (the size of the board of directors, the separation of the positions of the chairman and the CEO, the independence of the members of the board of directors and the percentage of ownership of major shareholders) on the profitability ratio and the liquidity ratio being among the dimensions of financial performance. Corporate-governance variables in the study indicated that 81.4% of family businesses in Jordan apply corporate-governance principles and there was a statistically significant effect of the adjusting variables (company size and leverage) on the profitability and liquidity ratio in family businesses.

 The study recommended the importance of applying the principles of corporate governance in family companies that have not fully implemented the principles of governance, because of their positive and significant role in enhancing their financial performance

Ořechov IV je lokalita bohunicienu ležící v Bobravské vrchovině, přibližně 7 km jihozápadně od Bohunic, tedy již mimo vlastní brněnskou kotlinu. Po mnoho let (od objevu na počátku 20. století) byla známá jako povrchová lokalita, v průběhu několika posledních let na ní však byla objevena dvě místa s intaktními situacemi. Poloha byla zřejmě opakovaně osídlována na počátku mladého paleolitu, a představuje tak palimpsest. Předběžné analýzy naznačují přítomnost mladého bohunicienu, který se chronologicky i technologicky odlišuje od dosud známých lokalit bohunicienu v Bohunicích a na Stránské skále.

Published: January 2023

Sekundárně uložené lidské kosti v sídlištních jamách starší doby železné jsou častým a dosud nevysvětleným archeologickým nálezem. Cílem studie je pomocí kontextuální tafonomie rekonstruovat původ a způsob exkarnace sekundárně uložených lidských kostí. Rekonstrukci prezentujeme na příkladu tří sídlištních objektů ze dvou lokalit na střední Moravě (Křenovice 2 a Hulín – Pravčice 1), řazených do platěnické kultury z okruhu lužických popelnicových polí. Pomocí kvantifikačních metod a mikroskopické prospekce povrchu kostí jsme zjistili, že 77 % jedinců bylo záměrně modifikováno. Na kostech se vyskytovaly zářezy způsobené pravděpodobně kamennou čepelí a ve většině případů (v 90 %) se zářezy nacházely v místech kloubů nebo na krčních obratlích. Dva druhé krční obratle nesly stopy po dlouhodobé manipulaci. Celkový vzorec modifikace kostí odpovídá rituálním aktivitám. Pravděpodobným důvodem úpravy těl byla disartikulace a dekapitace pro uchování kostí jako památných předmětů, relikvií či amuletů.
The concept and content of social protection and social security for the population in modern Ukraine
Authors: Shapovalova Tetiana
Published: January 2023

Introduction. Currently, Ukraine is going through a difficult period of structural, economic and political reorientation, characterized by the interweaving of deep crises of a political, economic and social nature, caused, among other things, by the war. Ukrainian society, since independence, was formed and functioned under the conditions of an administrative-command system, today it aspires to a state and society of a higher type, based on universal values and ideas, in which human rights and their protection are the only real indicator of the state's civilization.
In recent years, the social security of citizens has become increasingly important in Ukraine, because in the new socio-political and economic conditions there is an urgent need for adequate financial security.
However, on this path, only such a result as the growth of crisis phenomena in various spheres of life and the transformation of every person into their hostage is obvious. When announcing a new course of social development, a course for democratization, the strategy and tactics of reforms, as well as their possible consequences, were not really assessed and predicted. In the meantime, the most significant of them - the drop in incomes of the population and the social stratification of society - have already made themselves known.
Goal. The purpose of the article is to analyze approaches to defining the concepts of social protection and social security in science and their impact on solving the problems of vulnerable population groups.
Method. The theoretical and methodological basis of the article are the scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign authors who researched the concepts of social protection and social security, as well as the basic provisions of the economy, state administration, social work and social security law. The analysis of the influence of the system of social protection and social security on the solution of current problems in society was carried out by the methods of systemic and structural-functional analysis (theoretical and methodological generalizations).
The results. It was found that there is no permanent interpretation of the concepts of social protection and social security, their relationship and unity among scientists in approaches to solving this problem. It was determined that the social protection system is transformed depending on the economic state of the society, but thanks to a comprehensive approach, it will function both in conditions of crisis, radical breakdown of the old economic system, and in conditions of stabilization. The principles on which the system of social protection in Ukraine should be based are formulated.

Published: January 2023

InGaN-based LEDs on convex lens-shaped GaN microstructures are fabricated. The gently sloping microstructures enable us to employ simple device processes similar to those for conventional planar LEDs. The fabricated LEDs show a clear rectifying property and broadband electroluminescence spectra ranging from ∼380 to ∼500 nm due to the multiwavelength emission properties of the InGaN quantum wells. Furthermore, the peak wavelength continuously changes from ∼470 to ∼410 nm within a particular current range.

A cikk a zene és a hangzások tájépítészeti alkotásokban betöltött szerepét és alkalmazásának alternatíváit tárja fel, illetve az akusztikus környezet tudatos tervezésének jelentőségére hívja fel a figyelmet. Ennek megalapozásaként összefoglalja a szabadterek jellegzetes akusztikus ingereinek környezetpszichológiai aspektusait, majd az utóbbi körülbelül 25 év témára vonatkozó, angol nyelvű szakirodalmából válogatva összegzi a kísérletekkel és megvalósult példákkal bizonyított tervezési elveket. Ezzel sorvezetőt biztosít az akusztikus környezet tudatos befolyásolásának módszertanához számos külföldi és magyar példán keresztül bemutatva az ún. ’soundscape design’alkalmazási lehetőségeit. A téma ismertetése az általános irányelvektől halad a tájépítészet egyes részterületein alkalmazható szempontokig kitérve például a funkciókínálat és -elrendezés meghatározására, a térfalak tervezésére, a növényalkalmazásra, anyaghasználatra, fenntartásra vagy akár vízarchitektúrák és művészi alkotások integrálására a koncepcióba az akusztikus tervezés nézőpontjának figyelembevételével. Bár a cikk alapvetően a zene és hangzások hanghatásokként való megközelítésére fókuszál, egy rövid fejezetben a zenetematika vizuális megjelenítésének eseteit is összegyűjti. Végül kitér a téma egy speciális alkalmazási lehetőségére, a zenés játszóterekre, ahol különösen koncentráltan van jelen a zene akusztikus és vizuális formában egyaránt. Általánosan elmondható tehát, hogy számos tájépítészet ieszköz és jó példa ismert az akusztikus tervezés elveinek megvalósítására, amelyek átgondolt alkalmazásával sokkal élhetőbb és karakteresebb szabadterek hozhatók létre városainkban.

This research sheds light on the morphological structure of nouns and verbs in the novel "ASTONISHMENT" by the novelist Aharon Applefield by analysing selected models from the novel in a morphological analysis in order to identify the most important morphological features of this structure according to a statistical analytical approach. The morphological structure is the main pillar of the linguistic structure of the literary text. Morphology is the science that studies the word, by which its structure and original letters are known, and the change that has occurred to it. The aesthetics of the fictional text is reflected in this structure, through which the writer conveys his ideas and narrations to the reader. The research focused on important issues in the structure of nouns, such as definition and invocation, singular, dual and plural. It also touched on the structure of the verb in terms of weight and temporal significance. The research concluded that the morphological structure of nouns and verbs is characterized by clarity and abundance of expression and significance. The novelist Aaron Applefield employed defined nouns in a large proportion compared to nouns, due to the connotations it gave to remove ambiguity and ambiguity from the text, as well as more than the use of active verbs and moved some thing away from built verbs to the unknown in order to deliver his message easily and conveniently. He also concluded that the writer was using verbs with a single structure in order to maintain the dynamics of events. תקציר: המאמר הזה שופך על המבנה המורפולוגי של השמות והפעלים ברומן "תימהון" של הסופר "אהרון אפלפלד" על ידי ניתוח דוגמאות נבחרות ניתוח מורפולוגי כדי לעמוד על המאפיינים המורפולוגיים של המבנה הזה לפי השיטה האנליטית – סטטיסטיקאית. המבנה המורפולוגי הוא אחד מעמודי התווך של המבנה הלשוני של הטקסט הספרותי, המורפולוגיה היא המדע החוקר את המילה, ובה ניתן לדעת את מבניה והאתיות המקוריות שלה ומה שעברה משינוי. האסתטיקה של הטקסט הספרות מתגלה בו ומתוכו הסופר מעביר את רעיונותיו לקורא. המאמר מתמקד בנושאים חשובים במבנה השמות כגון: היידוע, היחיד, הזוגי והרבים, גם כן עיינו במבנה הפועל מבחינת הבניין והזמן. מאמר זה הראה שמבנה המורפולוגי של השמות והפעלים מתאפיין בבהירות ובדיוק ההבעה. הסופר אהרון אפלפלד השתמש בשמות מיודעים יותר משמות לא מיודעים בגלל תפקידה בהסרת העמימות ואי בהירות מהטקסט, גם כן הרבה מהשימוש בפעלים פעילים והתרחק מהפעלים הסבילים כדי להעביר את המסר שלו בקלות. גם כן הסופר השתמש בפעלים בעלי בניין אחד כדי לשמור על הדינמיקה של האירועים.
The Living God (1976)

Currently, the issue of God is central to theological reasoning. Our first reaction to such an obvious statement can be one of surprise. What else can be central to theological reasoning than simply God? Is theology not the Logos about God?
Trinity, History – and Discernment?
Authors: Smit DJ
Published: January 2023

In March 1979 a conference at UNISA focused on ‘The Meaning of History’. Although these were not as such times of transition, they were deeply troubled times of struggle and conflict. The interpretation of history was also a site of struggle – and believers and theologians were all part of these very real struggles. A group of right-wing activists from the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging led by Eugene Terreblanche entered the Senate Hall in full battle dress, and attacked, tarred and feathered the respected historian F.A. van Jaarsveld on stage, in front of the shocked scholarly audience, before his lecture on diverse interpretations of the event at Blood River in 1838. This became the earliest incident for which an amnesty application before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was received. On 10 May 1999 Eugene Terreblanche defended their conduct by arguing that it was motivated by their religious convictions, their interpretation of the acts in history of ‘our God, the Holy Trinity, and the God of Blood River, who brought, who gave us the victory at Blood River’. In detail, he described the events at Blood River, interpreting all these details in the light of the conviction that ‘it was God, it was not a myth’. Asking for amnesty, he refused any apology:
The Trinity in Africa
Authors: Sakupapa Teddy C.
Published: January 2023

This contribution is a literature-based research that involved analysis of primary literature on the Trinity in African theology. Although the beginning of the historical development of the Christian doctrine of God as the Trinity may be rooted in Africa, not least because of the theological contributions of early African theologians such as Tertullian, Origen, Arius, Athanasius and St. Augustine (Bediako 2004:154; Ngong 2017:55; Ogbonnaya 1994:56), this article focuses on Trinitarian hermeneutics in modern African Christian theology (hereafter African theology). It is a narrative analysis of the African discourse on the Trinity with reference to three phases in the history of African theology. These are namely the phase of initial debates on the Christian theological validity of African concepts of God, the phase of literary productivity on African Christologies and, finally, the phase of post-colonial African theology. In the context of this contribution, the phrase ‘African theology’ refers to modern academic ‘theological reflection by African Christians on the interplay between Christian tradition and the African religio-cultural heritage, including contemporary experience’ (Sakupapa 2018:407).
The Triune God and Otherness
Authors: Vosloo Robert
Published: January 2023

One of the challenges facing Christians and churches in South African is the reflection on, and the embodiment of, a Christian ethic of hospitality. Such an ethic, which draws on the rich biblical accounts of hospitality, has the potential, among other things, to critique certain inadequate ways of relating identity and otherness. A Christian ethic of hospitality challenges the notion of an enclosed identity in which the aim is to protect my/our identity by insulating me or us from what is different and other. It thus serves as a reminder not to emphasise identity in such a way that it becomes sectarian and parochial, in short, totalitarian. The twentieth century, including our recent South African past, can be seen as a dreadful monument to the dangers of such a mindset of enclosed identity.
Patient references in the 2005 and 2015 CanMEDS frameworks
Authors: Adam Holly L , Eady Kaylee , Moreau Katherine A
Published: January 2023

Background: Patient involvement in postgraduate medical education (PGME) can help residents improve their communication, professionalism, and collaboration. The CanMEDS Framework defines such competencies for physicians and informs teaching and assessment activities in PGME. However, it is unclear how patients are referenced in the CanMEDS Framework and if these references encourage the active involvement of patients in PGME. To inform how patients are referenced in the revisions of the CanMEDS Framework, scheduled for publication in 2025, our aim was to determine how patients are referenced in each the 2005 and 2015 CanMEDS Frameworks.
Methods: We used document analysis to examine how the term ‘patient(s)’ is referenced in the 2005 and 2015 CanMEDS Frameworks.
Results: Several 2005 and 2015 CanMEDS Roles include patients in the descriptions but do not reference them in the competencies. Others do not reference patients in the descriptions or competencies, potentially detracting from the importance of involving patients. As it stands, the 2015 Health Advocate is the only Role that describes and references patients working with physicians as partners in care, facilitating potential opportunities for patient involvement in PGME. 
Conclusion: There are inconsistencies in how patients are described and referenced as potential partners in PGME throughout past and present CanMEDS Frameworks. Understanding these inconsistencies can inform the revision of CanMEDS that is scheduled for publication in 2025.

Authors: Pinho Joana , Viseu Inês , Carvalho Dayane , Sousa Sara , Figueiredo Maria Henriqueta , Vilar Ana
Published: January 2023

Enquadramento: o Modelo Dinâmico de Avaliação e Intervenção Familiar (MDAIF) reporta-se à relação entre os elementos da família que evoluem numa interação recíproca (Figueiredo, 2012). Dinâmico e flexível, permite a mobilização dos seus componentes nos diversos níveis de atuação do enfermeiro. Objetivos: identificar diagnósticos e intervenções dirigidas à família, no sentido de obter ganhos em saúde para a pessoa, tendo a família como parceira de cuidados. Metodologia: estudo de caso, em contexto de cuidados continuados, sendo o MDAIF o referencial teórico e operativo.  Para a colheita de dados recorreu-se à análise documental dos registos do processo clínico e entrevistas à pessoa em situação de internamento, filha e genro.  Foram considerados todos os princípios éticos. Resultados: identificou-se como diagnóstico que requereu intervenção: Processo Familiar Disfuncional, manifestado por Comunicação Familiar Não Eficaz, no âmbito da Comunicação Emocional. Recorreu-se à técnica de intervenção familiar sistémica – abordagens narrativas enquanto ação que concretiza a intervenção “Promover a comunicação expressiva das emoções”. A construção de uma nova narrativa transformou a desmotivação para a reabilitação num aumento da potencialidade de adesão, verificando-se evolução na dependência de grau moderado para leve. Conclusão: o MDAIF pode ser aplicado tendo como alvo a pessoa e a família como contexto.
Intervenções desenvolvidas na gestão do luto em cuidados paliativos: scoping review
Authors: Sousa Joana , Ferreira Raquel , Guedes Virgínia
Published: January 2023

Enquadramento: a intervenção dos profissionais de saúde no processo de luto é uma necessidade de saúde no processo de fim-de-vida do doente paliativo e sua família. Objetivo: mapear a evidência científica sobre quais as intervenções desenvolvidas pelos profissionais de saúde na gestão do luto no contexto de cuidados paliativos. Metodologia: scoping review, seguindo a mnemónica P (participantes), C (conceito) e C (contexto) recomendada pelo Joanna Briggs Institute. Resultados: foram selecionados três artigos, dois dos quais se referem a programas de gestão do luto pela perda de uma familiar criança e um pela perda de familiar adulto. As intervenções desenvolvidas pelas equipas de saúde na gestão do luto iniciam-se no processo de fim-de-vida da pessoa. Relacionam-se com o suporte, criação de memórias e manutenção do contacto com a família após a morte da pessoa. Conclusão: o processo de luto associado à perda de uma criança é muito complexo e requer uma visão muito particular. Mais estudos devem ser desenvolvidos sobre as intervenções direcionadas na gestão de luto em cuidados paliativos.
