Authors: Therase Louis Magthelin , Jayanthy Thangappan
Published: January 2022

Metamaterials have gained a lot of interest in modern wireless devices due to their electromagnetic characteristics and it is employed to improve antenna parameters such as bandwidth, gain and efficiency. The study presents a novel strategy of single split non-uniform width Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) equipped Circular ring Microstrip Antenna (CRMA). The radiating element dimensions are seen to be 20 mm x 20 mm at the initial working frequency wherein the CSRR is incorporated on the ground plane of CRMA. The single split non-uniform width metamaterial (CSRR) structure displays -10 dB impedance bandwidth at 11.1 and 13.56 GHz which is beneficial for applications pertaining to X and Ku band. The total bandwidth of the said metamaterial antenna is 4 GHz (10.73-14.75). Optimization is undertaken with the help of commercially assessable simulation software tool Ansys HFSS 2019 version and practically measured using network analyzer. It is quite obvious from the experimentation that the results calculated get along well with the assumed outcomes.
Research on Fault Ride Through Control Strategy of Wind Farm via MMC-HVDC Networking System
Authors: Li Xiaoyan , Li Hua , Peng Yufei , Wang Jikang
Published: January 2022

Large-scale long-distance grid connection of wind farms has problems such as high line losses and small transmission capacity. The use of modular multilevel flexible direct current transmission (MMC-HVDC) for power transmission is an effective solution. And the recovery of system safety and stability under fault conditions is a hot spot for research. For the problem of DC bus voltage rise caused by symmetrical faults on the grid side, the AC voltage step-down method of the wind farm side converter station (WFMMC) is used for coordinated control with the self-regulating energy-consuming circuit. The capacity required for the self-regulating dissipation resistor is reduced while ensuring that the wind farm networked MMC-HVDC system can traverse the fault stably and smoothly; And the controller for suppressing negative sequence current is designed to effectively mitigate the three-phase current imbalance caused by asymmetric faults occurring on the grid side. The active power is transferred to the grid side while protecting the switching devices from damage. Finally, the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed scheme are verified in the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation software.
The urgency to reform the kafāla system in the sake of human rights of Indonesia domestic workers
Authors: Lumbanraja Anggita Doramia , Yusriyadi Yusriyadi
Published: January 2022

The Maṣlaḥa of Indonesian Foreign Domestic Workers in Saudi Arabia still become the biggest concern. Even though Saudi Arabia has reformed the Labor Law on the kafāla system, unfortunately, it is excluded from Foreign Domestic Workers. Therefore, it urges legal research to examine the kafāla system in Saudi Arabia from an Islamic and human rights perspective. Then, to provide the strategic plans for the Indonesian government to do. This research uses doctrinal research methods through the literature study and analyzed with the qualitative descriptive method. From the Islamic law perspective, although the kafāla system in Saudi Arabia is derived from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Kafāla system in Saudi Arabia is regulated on Resolution no. 310. However, in practice, Kafil abuses their strong position (83. QS. Al-Mutaffifin) in treating workers arbitrarily. In other words, there is a deviation from the philosophical values of maqāṣid ash-syarīʿah. From the international law perspective, this practice is against the mandate of the UDHR and ICCPR. Therefore, it is highly recommended that Indonesia push Saudi Arabia to replace individual sponsorship as Kafil for Indonesian Domestic Workers. It is better to establish a special guarantee institution for Domestic Workers from Indonesia in Saudi Arabia integrated with the SPSK System.

Published: January 2022

The use of concrete with polypropylene macrofibers can reduce the fragility and shrinkage of silica fume mixtures. Here, we investigated the effect silica fumes and aggregates have on enhancing high-performance concrete with polypropylene macrofibers. Three dosages of polypropylene macrofibers were evaluated (0.39, 0.63, and 0.79 % volume fraction), including silica fume (0.0 and 7.0 % water-cement), for two types of coarse aggregate (limestone and river gravel), with two maximum nominal sizes of coarse aggregate. In total, 96 concrete specimens were subjected to compression and bending tests to evaluate the effect of adding fiber, silica fume, and different aggregate types. The results showed a resistance to compression between 36 and 71 MPa, and that to flexural strengths of 3.6 to 5.8 MPa, which indicates high-performance concrete. The work shows that it is possible to achieve high-strength concrete with 55 mm polypropylene macrofibers combined with silica fumes and natural aggregates of both the limestone and calcareous types, which is beneficial for the local production of high-performance concrete.

La arquitectura de Ernesto de Sola en El Salvador: del historicismo a la modernidad
Authors: Ferrufino Carlos
Published: January 2022

Ernesto de Sola fue uno de los primeros arquitectos centroamericanos del siglo XX. El recorrido de su obra ilustra la consolidación de la modernidad en El Salvador. La lectura de sus diseños a través de categorías como la adaptación ambiental y la interpretación local de los lenguajes internacionales permite hacer comparaciones con la arquitectura latinoamericana. En esta investigación se analizan diversos edificios por medio de planos, dibujos y fotografías, en tres momentos: neocolonial, art déco y moderno, de los cuales se extraen características esenciales como la diversidad tipológica, multiplicidad de lenguajes arquitectónicos, gradual depuración de la ornamentación, racionalismo estructural y adaptación a las condiciones ambientales. Además, se ponen en evidencia vacíos como la ausencia de planteamientos urbanísticos, la falta de integración plástica e insuficiencias tecnológicas, que limitan la libertad formal y perduran como desafíos para la práctica de la arquitectura en El Salvador.

La irrupción de lo cotidiano. El relato fotográfico de una ciudad olvidada
Authors: Corvalán Tapia Felipe
Published: January 2022

A partir del trabajo del fotógrafo chileno Marcelo Montecino y su registro del Barrio Franklin, el siguiente artículo plantea una discusión sobre las posibilidades de representar la ciudad y sus transformaciones a lo largo del tiempo. Ampliando el campo de visión de las representaciones urbanas, el foco de atención de Montecino es la vida cotidiana, las marcas y huellas dejadas por la comunidad sobre los espacios que habita. Tales acciones no son valoradas como anomalías del orden urbano, sino más bien como la evidencia de una trama de significación que diversifica nuestra lectura sobre la ciudad. Así, a través de este relato fotográfico del mundo cotidiano podemos reconocer la existencia de una ciudad olvidada e incluso fallida, pero fundamental en los procesos de reconstrucción de la memoria urbana. Precisamente, la relación entre representación, espacio cotidiano y construcción de memoria, guía la discusión de este trabajo, realizado desde un perspectiva teórico-crítica.

Consideration of Atmospheric Properties when Comparing Mathematical Models of Aerodynamic Сoefficients with Flight Test Data
Authors: Korsun O.N. , Gerilovich I.V. , Moung H.O.
Published: January 2022

Methodological approaches to the calculation of atmospheric parameters, primarily air density and velocity head, in the task of comparing flight data with the results of mathematical modeling of the aircraft motion are proposed. Models with different degrees of using onboard measurements and standard atmosphere models are considered. The models are compared according to the data of flight experiments performed on a modern aircraft for such flight modes as horizontal platform, turn, climb, descentin, and acceleration. The comparison results are given the form of absolute and relative discrepancies in temperature, static pressure and air density. It is shown that the difference between the properties of the real atmosphere and the standard atmosphere is the main source of mismatches, compared to which the influence of the type of flight modes, altitude, speed is insignificant. In addition, a comparison of the standard atmosphere model with the data of atmospheric meteorological sounding is made, which gave similar results. It is concluded that the calculation of air density and velocity head through the standard atmosphere, widespread in practice, in the general case creates a significant error, which may lead to erroneous conclusions in assessing the correspondence of the aircraft mathematical model and the real object
A Method for Determining Frequency Response of Microphones in Unmuffled Laboratory Room Using Wideband Signal Excitement
Authors: Kuvykin Yu.А. , Olkhovskiy A.N. , Suprunyuk V.V. , Sokolov I.N.
Published: January 2022

The paper introduces a method for determining the frequency response of microphones using a broadband excitation signal. The method is based on time deiay spectrometry and uses the recursive filter of the Goertzel algorithm and additional sliding complex weighted averaging under conditions burdened by sound reverberation. A combination of field and pressure measurements was used to minimize the effect of reflections during measurements. Relying on the algorithm, we developed software for post-processing the measurement results when determining the frequency response of microphones in an unmuffled laboratory room. Furthermore, we assembled a research measuring complex and experimentally tested the developed method and software determining the methodical error in the frequency response of microphones using a broadband excitation signal. The developed method and software are recommended for determining the frequency response of measuring microphones by the field in unmuffled reverberating laboratory rooms without auxiliary equipment, such as a damped chamber and a small-volume chamber, provided the practical recommendations given in the research are taken into consideration
Decoupling Control for the "Half Car" Model: a Comparative Analysis of Linear and Linear-Quadratic Control Algorithms with Active Disturbance Rejection Control
Authors: Alhelou М. , Gavrilov A.I.
Published: January 2022

The linear multi-independent and multivariate linear-quadratic approaches to the implementation of active disturbance rejection control are considered. The first approach is based on controlling multidimensional systems whose input number is equal to the output number, using several separate elements of active disturbance rejection control. The second approach is based on the transformation of the control problem into a multidimensional controlled system using a linear quadratic regulator LQR. The parameters of the two proposed control synthesis algorithms are tuned using the desired closed-loop cutoff frequency and the observer's dynamic velocity multiplier. A multi-criteria optimization procedure is performed using the NSGA-II algorithm. The proposed approaches are verified by modelling the car's suspension active control system. The testing was performed considering the vehicle motion at relatively high speeds under the assumption that the perturbed motion occurs only in the vertical direction. As a result of the simulation, it was found that using the proposed approaches, the responses of the quality indicators improved with respect to the displacement of the suspension mass with no significant deterioration in its acceleration. The first approach can be considered effective in controlling multidimensional systems, in addition to the simplicity of design and ease of its parameters adjustment. The second approach gives better results than the first approach, but with higher costs in mathematical calculations
Automatic Adaptive Control of the Vehicle Trailer when Reversing
Authors: Kruglov S.P. , Kovyrshin S.V.
Published: January 2022

The paper considers the problem of constructing a driver assistance system for a car with a trailer when reversing, functioning under apriori uncertainty of parameters of the controlled object car-trailer and uncontrollable disturbances. The mathematical model of the controlled object car-trailer and the basic relations, necessary for the synthesis of the control law are substantiated. Stability conditions of motion taking into account the notions of short and long trailer and the influence of disturbances are evaluated. The relative angular speed of the trailer, i.e., the angular speed of the trailer divided by the speed of the vehicle, is used as the controlled variable. An adaptive control law on the deviation of the the vehicle steered wheels to achieve the value of the controlled variable set by the driver using an implicit reference model is formed. Apriori uncertainty is eliminated by approximate estimates of trailer length and current parametric identification of the control object mathematical model. The current estimates delivered by the identifier are immediately used to synthesize the control law. The rationale for the operation of the adaptive control system is based on simplified adaptability conditions. The synthesized control law is aimed at preventing from reaching the folding angle with a short trailer and limiting the coupling angle with a long trailer. Automatic formation of warning signals, in particular about trailer folding, is proposed, and model examples showing efficiency of the proposed control system are given
PRODUÇÕES ACADÊMICAS SOBRE OS INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO NO RS: análise dos movimentos dos sentidos

Published: January 2022

O artigo sistematiza pesquisa que objetivou analisar a produção acadêmica sobre os Institutos Federais de Educação – IFs no Rio Grande do Sul/RS, em programas gaúchos de pós-graduação em Educação, entre 2009 e 2020.  Tal estudo justifica-se pelo interesse em conhecer como está se constituindo a pesquisa nos cursos stricto sensu em EPT. Ao mesmo tempo que se descreve o estudo em cento e trinta e três trabalhos selecionados, demonstra-se como o corpus da pesquisa foi abordado, com base na Análise dos Movimentos de Sentidos (AMS). Além de indicar a dificuldade para realização desse modo de investigação em repositórios, a pesquisa permitiu que se percebesse a necessidade de uma rede de pesquisadores e de produções mais articuladas sobre Educação Profissional e Tecnológica como política educacional e, inserida nela, sobre os Institutos Federais de Educação no Estado. Quanto aos dados produzidos, a pesquisa possibilitou visualizar que os Institutos, embora mencionados nos títulos, na maior parte dos trabalhos, são apenas o contexto onde outras temáticas são estudadas, sendo as principais: formação e trabalho dos professores, currículo e PROEJA. Dessa forma, apenas dez por cento dos trabalhos versa efetivamente sobre os IFs, descrevendo-os como instituições em processo de implementação no Estado.Palavras-chave: educação profissional e tecnológica; políticas educacionais; análise dos movimentos de sentidos; pesquisa em educação.ACADEMIC PRODUCTIONS ABOUT THE INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO IN RS: an analysis of the movements of the sensesAbstractThe article systematizes research that aimed to analyze the academic production on the Institutos Federais de Educação - IFs in Rio Grande do Sul / RS, in postgraduate programs in Education, between 2009 and 2020. This study is justified by the interest in knowing how the research in stricto sensu courses in EPT is being constituted. At the same time that the study is described in one hundred and thirty-three selected works, it demonstrates how the corpus of the research was approached, based on the Analysis of the Movement of Senses (AMS). In addition to indicating the difficulty in carrying out this mode of investigation in repositories, the research allowed us to perceive the need for a network of researchers and more articulated productions on Vocational and Technological Education as an educational policy and, inserted in it, on the Institutos Federais de Educação in the State. As for the data produced, the research made it possible to see that the Institutes, although mentioned in the titles, in most of the works, are just the context where other themes are studied, the main ones being: teacher training and work, curriculum and PROEJA. Thus, only ten percent of the works effectively deal with the IFs, describing them as institutions in the process of being implemented in the State.Keywords: professional and technological education; educational policies; analysis of movements of meanings; research in education.
Morality on Trial: Structure and Intelligibility System of a Court Sentence Concerning Homosexuality
Authors: Dupret Baudouin
Published: January 2022

This article analyses the structural organization of a ruling issued by an Egyptian court in the trial known as the “Queen Boat case”, where several people were arrested on the ground of their alleged homosexuality. With the text, and only the text, as data, it aims at making explicit the possibilities open to potential readers of the ruling. The praxiological study of texts constitutes a relatively new domain of inquiry in which texts are considered as produced objects whose intelligibility is structured and organized in a way that provides instructions for the texts’ reading and accounts for their author’s worldview and purposes. The article briefly presents the Egyptian legal and judicial system. Then, through close observation of each of the constitutive elements and organizational features of the ruling, it shows how this text serves as a vehicle for a limited number of possible logical options. In other words, it describes aspects of the practical grammar of written legal adjudication. Finally, in conclusion, some remarks are formulated concerning rulings as instructed reading of cases submitted to judicial review.

According to Gestalt psychologists, the simplification rule is the fundamental law of visual perception. It can be understood as making our perception sensitive to certain regularities and distinguishing individual objects from the environment. From this ability to see rules grew the science understood as the systematic description of regularities using general laws. Simplicity is the initial composition of the accumulated knowledge about the world. Therefore, the criterion of simplicity seems to be important in the case of the scientific description of the world. Ernst Gombrich draws attention to the relationship of simplifying perceptual mechanisms with science and art. Karl Popper, on the other hand, paradoxically rejects the usefulness of the concept of simplicity in the methodology of science as a manifestation of merely an aesthetic liking or a certain feature of our minds. Nevertheless, he proposes a solution to the problem of simplicity in the methodology of science - theories with a lower dimension are easier to falsify. A hypothesis that is easier to test is more valuable, and easier to test, because it's easier. If, as Popper wants, simplicity is aesthetic, it has found application in an area as refined as art. Works of art, however, must have a certain complexity and richness. This opposition to simplicity is apparent. The artist is forced to show only certain aspects of reality by simplifying it in accordance with his intention.
Motyw Kobiety-Góry we współczesnych islandzkich filmach i serialach
Authors: Adamski Tomasz
Published: January 2022

The author begins his article with a description of the Icelandic landscape, with particular emphasis on volcanoes. This is the starting point for an outline of the mother (femininity) figure in Icelandic culture, which has been used to emphasize Iceland's independence and statehood. This figure was called the Mountain Woman and became an allegorical personification of the motherland for Icelanders. Over the years, she gained a bodily dimension (Fjallkonan) and her image was very often used in Icelandic art and poetry. References to this symbol also appeared in an Icelandic film or tv series, if only because nature was encoded as clearly feminine. The ideal woman is often depicted in Icelandic cultural texts as a person untainted by the evil of civilization and living in harmony with nature. The frequent identification of this mythical character with Iceland itself can be seen in contemporary Icelandic films and series such as: The Cliff, Rams. An Icelandic tale or 101 Reykjavik. The Mountain Woman can also be read as a prototype for the figure of strong women present in many contemporary Icelandic productions, to mention only: Valhalla Murders or The Woman at War.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
The world of digitalisation is impacting on all aspects of socioeconomic life. This notable change also applies to the financial sector of the global economy. The activities and services of financial technology (FINTECH) overlap with that of traditional banking services. The study seeks to investigate the impact of FINTECH evolution on traditional banking institutions to picture the future of payment systems in Nigeria. Two methods of data analysis were used in the study. An econometric method of data analysis was used to conceptualise the findings of the study. Results from the test of hypotheses reveal that FINTECH affects traditional banking. In conclusion, the present FINTECHs in the Nigerian financial system seem to be slow but are positioned to provide better financial services, especially in payment systems than the traditional banking. The study recommends that the regulators of the Nigeria financial system should incorporate policies into the retail payment system that would ensure full application.

Os resultados mostram que os conteúdos relacionados às pesquisas científicas têm pouco destaque (ausência de fotografias e vídeos) e espaço no boletim (cerca de 8% do total), e são, na sua maioria, superficiais. O formato padronizado e a cobertura heterogênea demonstram uma tentativa de divulgar conteúdos que atendam interesses de públicos diferentes como jornalistas e comunidade acadêmica.
The mental load in separated families
Authors: Luthra Renee , Haux Tina
Published: January 2022

Objective: This paper asks how evolving contact and gendered working lives, gendered identities, and conflict and parental relationships influence cognitive labour in separated families.

Background: The fact that the often-invisible work of planning, researching, and executing decisions concerning children and household maintenance is borne by women/mothers, receives growing research attention, yet, the bulk of this research focuses on the gendered division of the mental load in intact families. Given the high prevalence of separated families with high levels of father contact, more work is needed to understand how cognitive labour is divided by parents residing in separate households.

Method: This paper draws on 31 semi-structured interviews of separated parents, including 7 former couples. Interviews were sampled from a nationally representative longitudinal survey, Understanding Society, professionally transcribed and thematically analysed with Nvivo.

Results: Analysing the interviews reveals both continuity and change in the division of the mental load following separation. For some families, gendered identities and working lives continue to justify an unequal division of the mental load, even when children spend large amounts of time solely with fathers. In others, conflict can reduce communication between parents, either increasing fathers cognitive labour through parallel parenting or decreasing it when fathers are excluded from decision-making altogether. Finally, separation can present a turning point where working lives and identities are re-evaluated, and the mental load can be negotiated anew.

Conclusion: We provide new evidence that the mental load remains gendered even among those practicing a relatively "modern" family form of shared care post-separation, while highlighting possibilities for variation and change.

Klebsiella pneumoniae es miembro de la familia de enterobacterias, es un patógeno oportunista que afecta a las personas con compromiso inmune, y es causa de infecciones nosocomiales. Los serotipos capsulares K1 y K2 de Klebsiella pneumoniae tienen la característica de hipermucoviscosa, que es considerada una cepa hipervirulenta. Se presenta el caso de una mujer con absceso hepático, bacteriemia y meningoencefalitis por Klebsiella pneumoniae hipervirulenta, en el curso de una infección por SARS – COV2, quien requirió soporte ventilatorio, vasopresor, tratamiento antibiótico y drenaje percutáneo del absceso en la Unidad de cuidados intensivos del Hospital Cayetano Heredia, logrando sobrevivencia y alta hospitalaria. Este caso nos permite resaltar la presencia de la cepa hipervirulenta de Klebsiella pneumoniae en nuestro país, lo cual nos permitirá realizar una evaluación integral oportuna y tratamiento precoz.

The demand for entrepreneurship at a university is relatively low because there are still many students who are not interested in taking this opportunity. Courage to step is one obstacle to starting. The Entrepreneurship Development Program (PPK) is a strategy to motivate and nurture students to become independent new entrepreneurs. The purpose of this activity is to equip students in starting new businesses. The specific target of this activity is to produce seven new independent entrepreneurs among students and alumni. Methods for implementing socialization, education, practicum, and mentoring. The number of students in this program is as many as twenty people from the management, accounting, economic education, and marketing management study programs, Faculty of Economics, Manado State University. The results achieved were the facilitation of new entrepreneurs by as many as seven people with different products. Entrepreneurial students have their own businesses in the form of groups and individuals, including a coffee-inspired cafe booth, an EcoF Kitchen business with burger and hotdog products, and a pottery craft business. The motivation of new entrepreneurs is discussed in this paper. One of the strategies to change student behavior to become an entrepreneur is through a consistent and sustainable Entrepreneurship Development Program

Generating Maude Specifications from M-UML Statechart Diagrams

The unified modeling language (UML) is used for the specification, visualization, and documentation of object-oriented software systems. Mobile UML (M-UML) is an extension of UML that considers mobility aspects, and a mobile statechart is an extension of the standard UML diagram that deals with the requirements for modeling, specifying, and visualizing mobile agent-based systems. However, mobile statecharts inherit UML’s lack of formal notation for analysis and verification purposes. The rewriting logic language Maude is a formal method that deals with mobile computations. In this paper, we propose a formalization of M-UML statechart diagrams using Maude to provide formal semantics for such diagrams. The generated Maude specifications are then used to analyze and check the systems using Maude analytical tools. This approach is illustrated through an example.
Acesso aos serviços públicos e planejamento urbano: pensando a efetivação do Estado Social na cidade de Fortaleza
Authors: Mariano Cynara Monteiro , Carvalho Harley Sousa
Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar e refletir acerca da efetividade dos serviços públicos como instrumento de combate à desigualdade social, desenvolvendo a sua conexão com a temática da política urbana e tendo como foco de análise a cidade de Fortaleza, uma das capitais mais desiguais do país. Tem-se como hipótese de trabalho a compreensão de que os instrumentos de planejamento urbano devem ocupar posição central no desenho e na avaliação dos serviços públicos, uma vez que repercutem em sua eficiência e no acesso que se tem a eles. Portanto, o planejamento urbano pode se apresentar como importante ferramenta na concreção do Estado social e do projeto civilizatório da Constituição de 1988. Visando uma abordagem qualitativa, empreende-se pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Conclui-se que, dos pontos de vista teórico e técnico, a correlação entre serviço público e planejamento urbano é de fundamental importância e que o Plano Diretor de Fortaleza levou em conta a alocação eficiente dos serviços públicos na formulação de seu zoneamento. Entretanto, identificou-se que, após a promulgação do plano, houve reiterada inobservância, o que tem consequência direta na qualidade dos serviços públicos na cidade.

Published: January 2022

O artigo traz algumas considerações acerca dos contornos da noção de accountability como instrumento de concretização de um modelo de Administração Pública sustentável. Numa situação de alegada escassez de recursos públicos, desapego ao planejamento e grave crise de legitimidade das instituições democráticas, a Sociedade precisa ser incentivada a participar do planejamento da ação política estatal. Mas isso exige amplo acesso às informações necessárias ao exercício de uma cidadania ativa e responsável, inclusive de modo a garantir as dimensões de sustentabilidade das decisões político-administrativas. Aqui se insere a noção de accountability, como mecanismo de controle social e gestão participativa da atividade administrativa, objeto central do estudo. O método utilizado é o dedutivo e a técnica de pesquisa a bibliográfica, com análise da legislação relacionada e da doutrina sobre o tema.
