Art in the time of (neoliberal) capitalism: Adorno vs. Mikelsen
Authors: Vuksanovic Divna
Published: May 2019

The article opens the question of the perception of the relationship between
art and capitalism in the contemporary era. This complex problem is treated
from two angles of observation, which seem to be in a contrasting
relationship. The first interpretative emphasis is placed on Adorne?s
aesthetic theory of the mediation of art and society, while the other is
summed up in Mikelsen?s theory of the effects of non-philosophical
contemporary art which, in fact, conquers the position of power in the
context of neoliberal capitalism with its empiricism. The article examines
both these approaches, given their basic intentions, ranges and possible
outcomes.
Neutral monism in modern philosophy and physics
Authors: Perovic Slobodan
Published: May 2019

Philosophers have substantially considered the key ideas of Neutral Monism, a
philosophical view attempting to overcome the Mind/Body problem, as it was
initially developed by Ernst Mach and Bertrand Russell. Yet similar ideas
are also found in some key considerations of a few prominent physicists who
developed quantum mechanics, although philosophers have neglected them. We
will show that Niels Bohr?s principle of complementarity (of the particle
and wave aspects of microphysical phenomena) is a gradually developed and
experimentally motivated account very close to Russell?s and Mach?s key
ideas on Neutral Monism.
Historical explanation, emotives, and emotional suffering
Authors: Radenovic Ljiljana
Published: May 2019

One of the main goals of the book ?The Navigation of Feeling: A Framework for
the History of Emotions ? by William Reddy (Reddy, 2001) is to provide an
explanation of the events that led to the French Revolution and the
political regimes that followed the First Republic. What makes Reddy?s
approach unique is that, unlike standard political, social, economic and
similar approaches, it emphasizes the role that emotions and emotional
suffering have in the change of political regimes. For this purpose Reddy
introduces the concept of emotives. According to him, we use emotives to
express and change the emotions we feel. By expressing and changing
emotions, we reconsider the values we endorse, and in the times of crisis,
we sometimes embrace new ones. In this way, emotives play important role not
only in the emotional regulation but also in the formation of our identity.
Reddy argues that in the strict emotional regimes in which the use of
emotives is restricted individuals experience emotional suffering. Such
suffering is not relative to culture and can be objectively measured. Thus,
for Reddy some political regimes are better than others. Within this
theoretical framework Reddy describes the emotional regime of the French
society that preceded the revolution as strict. According to him, emotional
suffering that was caused by such regime played substantial role in bringing
about the revolution. In this paper I will argue that the emotional regime
of the 18th century France was not as strict as Reddy argues. What was
strict were the rules for how to behave not for the emotional expressions,
i.e. for the use of emotives. Thus, his analysis of the emotional
pre-revolutionary regime is not without weakness. I will conclude with some
problems that Reddy?s analysis of the acute emotional suffering
characteristic of the revolutionary period faces.
Induction and categorization: One model of language development
Authors: Zoric Aleksandra
Published: May 2019

According to one of the models of explanation of the development of verbal
and linguistic competence, inductive reasoning provides a more adequate
description of this development compared to various theories of innateness.
The basic function of induction consists in concept formation and
acquisition, i.e. in categorizing the world of our surroundings. Research
has shown that pre-school children become aware of various ways in which
categories are interrelated, and they are also using different principles
for grounding their inductive reasoning. The main form of inductive
reasoning from the standpoint of language learning is called category based
induction. Category based inductive reasoning is the subject of many
analyses which aim to pinpoint its origin and explain its further
development. Some authors have maintained that the bias towards this type of
reasoning is conceptually primitive, i.e. that it is not the result of
language learning. In effect, it is the precondition of language learning as
it enables the categorical mastery. Others have presupposed that children
are biased when considering words as something that refers to kinds. When
categorical information is passed through words the children are
spontaneously making categorically grounded conclusions. The question of the
origin of category based induction is still largely open. Is it an innate
ability or the product of development? If it is the product of development,
are there some components on which such reasoning is based, that are innate
in a certain way? What is the exact relationship between categorization and
induction? Is categorization prior to induction or is it the product of it?
This is just to name a few of philosophically interesting questions with
which the proponents of this model are faced. The model itself sheds new
light on some classic problems of the philosophy of language in general, and
on some key aspects of Quine?s position in this discipline, in particular.
O gênero e as práticas esportivas das mulheres. Alguns pontos de discussão em psicologia social e do esporte
Authors: Garcia Carla Cristina
Published: May 2019

O aumento na prática de esportes por parte das mulheres na sociedade ocidental atual é um fato de inegável importância. Entretanto, os esportes e as práticas esportivas ainda são um campo no qual os homens estão em maior número e continuam a ser mais valorizados e mais bem remunerados do que as atletas. Se praticar esportes traz benefícios para o desenvolvimento integral do ser humano, entre os quais se destacam os aspectos físicos, psicológicos e sociais (transmissão de valores, trabalho em equipe, respeito, autoestima, autoconceito etc.), quando se impede ou se dificulta o acesso da mulher no âmbito esportivo, impõe-se uma posição de inferioridade em relação ao homem. Neste artigo, fazemos uma breve análise das justificativas científicas e sociais utilizadas para dificultar o acesso das mulheres às práticas esportivas na sociedade ocidental por razões de gênero, bem como refletir sobre como o próprio desenvolvimento desse conceito pode influenciar na transformação dessa condição. Essas reflexões se inscrevem tanto no campo da psicologia quanto no da sociologia do esporte com enfoque feminista, que têm como objetivo questionar a discriminação de gênero nas práticas esportivas.
Mulheres e futebol: análise de documentos do mundo esportivo brasileiro no Século XX
Authors: Vieira Talita Machado , Justo José Sterza , Mansano Sonia Regina Vargas
Published: May 2019

A prática futebolística de mulheres no Brasil ainda pode ser considerada limitada e envolta de preconceitos os mais diversos. O presente estudo teórico e documental visa a problematizar a inserção de mulheres no campo futebolístico, dando especial atenção às primeiras políticas públicas elaboradas para promover e permitir o acesso da mulher à prática do futebol. Adotando uma perspectiva foucaultiana, a pesquisa buscou dar visibilidade ao conjunto heterogêneo de forças sociais veiculadas em documentos de domínio público que evidenciaram a dificuldade dessa prática desportiva profissional entre mulheres. Para tanto, o estudo foi dividido em dois momentos. Primeiro, é apresentando o cenário teórico-metodológico do qual se partiu para, em seguida, apresentar uma série de documentos nos quais está demonstrado como tal prática entre mulheres sofreu intervenções limitadoras e preconceituosas em nosso país. Nas considerações finais, foi possível mostrar a discrepância do trato entre gêneros no contexto futebolístico brasileiro, imerso em uma série de naturalizações sobre os corpos de homens e mulheres, que colocam estas últimas em evidente desvantagem. A análise crítica de tais naturalizações pode abrir espaços de debate, inclusão e potencialização das mulheres na esfera do futebol.
Intervenção comportamental para melhorar a precisão do “chute no gol” em jogadores de futebol
Authors: Abuchacra Marcelo Correa , Malerbi Fani Eta Korn
Published: May 2019

O presente artigo teve por objetivo investigar os efeitos do reforçamento condicionado sobre a precisão do comportamento do “chute no gol” em jogadores de futebol em formação. A pesquisa foi realizada com dois participantes e compreendeu duas fases: 1) Linha de Base (LB) e 2) Fase de Reforçamento. Foram colocados quatro alvos no gol (inferior direito, inferior esquerdo, superior direito e superior esquerdo) para indicar aos participantes onde deveriam chutar. Na LB apenas foram registrados os acertos ou erros dos “chutes no gol” de cada participante. Na Fase de Reforçamento cada acerto fazia com que o participante ganhasse um ponto que, ao final das sessões, era trocado por dinheiro. Para um dos participantes aumentou-se a quantidade de reforços para a precisão num dos alvos (Ref.+ bônus). Com o objetivo de verificar se a porcentagem de acertos retornaria aos níveis basais foi possível repetir o procedimento empregado na LB1, suspendendo o reforçamento condicionado aos acertos nos alvos IE e SE para o participante P1 e nos alvos SE, ID e SD para o participante P2. Os resultados mostraram que ambos os participantes elevaram seus índices de acerto na Fase de Reforçamento em comparação aos dados da Linha de Base.

Published: May 2019

Management decision making is reviewed from the perspective of the sociology of management. Every company develops and makes its management decisions determined by the nature and context of its activities, its organizational structure, current communication system, and internal culture. From the standpoint of gender management, it is also necessary to consider the impact of such factors as leadership style and personal qualities of a manager on decision making. The paper presents the results of an expert poll of successful female leaders and a survey of the employees of small businesses. The research shows that the leadership style and priority personal qualities of a leader do not depend on gender. Successful leadership models are used by top managers who have ideas about both men and women’s business behavior without regard to their own gender.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Ma Rongyu
Published: May 2019

The paper discusses the problems of intercultural learning when teaching Russian students Chinese as a foreign language. The relationship between language and culture is revealed, and the terms ‘intercultural dialogue’, ‘cultural barrier’, and ‘national mentality’ are considered. The concepts of culture, communication, and intercultural communication are defined as well. The author emphasizes the importance of studying the culture of the Chinese people while teaching Chinese as a foreign language. The research illustrates the influence of culture on human reaction in case of external objective irritation. The study shows the differences in semantic associations of color and taste perception by the bearers of Chinese and Russian cultures. The paper reveals the causes of differences in color perception and the use of basic colors in different cultures. The author concludes that cultural and intercultural aspects play an important role in learning a foreign language. At the same time, the intercultural approach becomes a basic teaching approach.

Authors:   Peter the Great St. Petersburg  Polytechnic University, Kalmykova Svetlana Vladimirovna , Krasnoshchekov Aleksandr Viktorovich ,   Peter the Great St. Petersburg  Polytechnic University
Published: May 2019

The introduction and implementation of e-learning and distance learning technologies are a priority for the development of higher education in the Russian Federation. To solve these tasks, it is necessary to train university lecturers to create and use electronic educational resources in their professional activity. While using distance learning technologies and applying e-learning, modern lecturers face a variety of difficulties. They mainly have a medium and low level of computer literacy and are not sufficiently aware of modern information educational systems. Several teacher-training models have been developed in this regard. They include the technologies focused on e-learning competence achievement and the development of lecturers’ readiness to use electronic educational resources. These technologies have proved to be effective. However, they are non-universal and fail to affect all aspects of lecturer training. Their further development implies the creation of a single integrated approach to training university lecturers in the field of e-learning.
Anonymity and Its Impact on the Self-Presentation of Personality in Virtual Reality
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Alekseeva Ksenia Andreevna
Published: May 2019

The development of communication technologies has led to the fact that modern people spend much of their time on Internet communication with their friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. This resulted in the phenomenon of virtual self-presentation of personality. In the new sociocultural environment, the individual has to think over what and how he will tell about himself in the online community. A virtual-ego strategy was mostly based on the complete anonymity of a real person (the use of nicknames, unreal avatars) in the early years of the Internet. With further improvement of information technology, the common anonymity of Internet users has been questioned. The research analyzes the sociocultural problems of people’s anonymity in virtual reality. The author reveals that it is rather impossible to hide your identity and be “different” in the Internet space, which means for many users the need to rebuild their virtual identity. The research deals with the current prospects of anonymity on the Internet. The main reasons why users prefer to remain anonymous are defined. The study determines the impact of the present situation with anonymity on self-presentation in virtual reality.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Dankin Mikhail Anatolyevich
Published: May 2019

The study examined the impact of deeply ingrained social networks on the moral values of young people. This process was exemplified by a social group of young people aged 15-29 living in Smolensk region. The research investigated the theoretical approaches to defining the terms ‘young people’, ‘social network’, and ‘moral values’. The theoretical basis of the analysis included the typology of values by the Russian sociologist N.I. Lapin and the social network theory by the Spanish researcher M. Castells. The study resulted in the novel types of young users of social networks. Besides, the author determined the distinctive features of the types of users under consideration and a set of their moral values. Their lifestyle and type of thinking were described as well.
Recidivism as a Result of Ineffective Punishment
Authors:   Nevinnomyssk State Institute  for Humanities and Technical Sciences, Dolgopolov Kirill Andreevich
Published: May 2019

The study describes recidivism as a social phenomenon. In addition to the typical characteristics of a crime, the author notes the recurrence of an offense as a result of ineffective sentences and their improper execution. At the same time, this phenomenon is determined by the important social factors such as desocialization in places of detention. The study reveals the main problems conducive to the rise in recidivism in society because of ineffective Russian punishment system. The research describes such aspects as the social status of people released from prison; the lack of state social rehabilitation program; the ambiguous attitude of society towards severe criminals; the desire of society to solve the problem of recidivism by increased punishment. The author concludes that there is no connection between the smooth functioning of the sentence system strived to attain the main goal, i.e. punish an offender, and its effect on the re-education of a perpetrator. Recidivism seems to be a consequence of this situation.

Published: May 2019

This research has examined the main effects and interaction effect of person-organization fit and machiavellism on perceived organizational politics. This study was conducted by using sample of 396 public officers and analyzed the main and interaction effect of P-O fit and machiavellism on perceived organizational politics by hierarchical regression analyses which controlled demographic factors. The major findings of this study were as follows: First, as P-O fit score increased, the degree of perceived organizational politics tended to decrease( =-.143, p<.01). Second, the higher level of machiavellism was, the lower perceived organizational politics( =.272, p<.001). Third, interaction effect of P-O fit and machiavellism on the perceived organizational politics was significant(⊿ =.024, p<.01). Furthermore, results of this study showed that among three sub-factors of P-O fit, only needs-supplies and demands- ability had a interaction effect with machiavellism(needs-supplies: ⊿ =.033, p<.001; demands-ability: ⊿ =.024, p<.01). Finally, implications of this study and tasks of future research were discussed.
The Stimulating Effects of Imazalil and Carbendazim Fungicides on in Vitro Propagation and ex Situ conservation of the Medicinal Balkan Range-Restricted Sideritis Raeseri Boiss & Heldr. Subsp. Raeseri
Authors: Sarropoulou Virginia , Maloupa Eleni
Published: May 2019

Sideritis raeseri Boiss & Heldr. subsp. raeseri, known in Greece as Mountain tea of Parnassus or Velouchi is a range restricted medicinal plant of the Balkan peninsula. Conventional propagation methods did not allow the mass production of plant material in a short period of time due to both low seed germination rate and rooting of cuttings. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish a reliable, reproducible and efficient regeneration protocol for mass and large-scale micropropagation, germplasm and ex situ conservation of S. raeseri Boiss & Heldr. using Imazalil and Carbendazim fungicides. After 9 weeks, 2.5-10 mg/l Imazalil stimulated root length by 1 cm but diminished root number and rooting percentage. Optimum shoot number (5.58), shoot length (24.91 mm), shoot multiplication (100%), root number (20.63) and rooting (66.67%) were recorded with 0.5 mg/l kinetin (KN) + 0.05 mg/l ?-napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (Imazalil-free). After 4 ½ weeks, 1 mg/l Carbendazim + 0.5 mg/l 6-benzyladenine (BA) yielded 5.77 shoots/explant, 16.1 mm shoot length and 100% shoot multiplication. However, Carbendazim did not result in rooting. The ex vitro survival percentage of rooted shoot-tip explants derived from Imazalil experiment was 95%. Carbendazim proved useful in shoot proliferarion and Imazalil in root elongation of S. raeseri Boiss & Heldr. subsp. raeseri micropropagation system.
A Multiple Draft Technique with Relevant Feedback to Improve Writing Skills
Authors: Chintapanti Suvarna Ragini
Published: May 2019

Out of the four major skills, writing has become mandatory for academic success at secondary and tertiary levels. Writing has been taught for many years as a product rather than process during the students' formative years. In fact, there are many writing activities prescribed at the secondary level. However, most of the writing activities are neglected in the pretext of paucity of time or due to lack of interest among some teachers who consider evaluating the written assignments and giving feedback as laborious and peripheral tasks. As teachers of writing we are prone to expose our students to the rules of writing and grammar without developing their ability to express their ideas. Having identified the challenges faced by engineering students during writing tasks, the present study used the ‘multiple draft strategy’ with relevant feedback as an experimental method to explore its significance in developing the writing skills of the students at the tertiary level.

Resistant to antibiotics by microbes have become a major global challenge incurring economic and public health burden. Hence, research to develop new effective anti-biotics should be a major consideration to pharmaceutical industries, scientific researchers, Amanda ‘scientific researchers and world health organizations at large. This study is conducted to investigate the antimicrobial property of proteins present in the seeds of Datura stramonium. The extraction was carried out using Tris-HCL buffer prepared from 50M Tris and 0.3M NaCL, the proteins were isolated using ammonium sulphate precipitation to obtain 80% fraction. The isolated and extracted proteins sample were subjected to dialysis in which all the salt was removed and then purified using Ion-exchange chromatography. Acidic and basic fractions of the proteins obtained were subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis to visualize their different molecular weight. More protein band was observed in the basic fraction between 9-45kDa. Antibacterial activities of both acidic and basic proteins were carried out using the paper disc diffusion method against clinical bacterial isolates of E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. More activity was observed in basic protein with a diameter 8mm compared to the acidic fraction of 7mm in diameter.
Measurement of Internationalisation: Development of India Study Centre Questionnaire
Authors: Chandrakar Chandu Lal
Published: May 2019

The India Study Centre Questionnaire (ISCQ) has been developed to measure the level of internationalisation of higher education (IHE) with reference to India at the India Study centres in China. The concept of IHE has been constructed on the basis of the significantly correlated themes that emerged from the academic research literatures (N=36). The correlation among the emergent themes (N=52) comprising the components of the IHE was tested on the basis of a text analysis. The themes were itemised in accordance with the Ontological or Existentialist, Phenomenological or Instrumentalist, Propositional or Imagistic approaches of conceptualisation with an intent to satisfy the Evaluative or Normative need of the theoretical framework of this study. The designed instrument (ISCQ) devised on the emergent themes was administered on the students (N=28) of India study centre of Peking University, Beijing to test the reliability and validity of the instrument. In order to test and retest the robust validity of the instrument (ISCQ) two more rounds of piloting the questionnaire would be required. Five extensive interviews were conducted with the faculties to validate the structure and content of the ISCQ. However, owing to politico-academic sensitivity, approaching the respondents would need formal consent from the authorities of the institutions in context. Interviews were conducted with five teachers of country specific study centres from prominent institutions.
Public and Household Spending in Private, Publicly-Funded Private and Public Schools in Spain during the Economic Crisis (2007-2012)
Authors: Andres-Candelas Mario , Rogero-García Jesús
Published: May 2019

In Spain, the economic crisis was characterised by cut-backs in public spending on education services and a reduction in households’ purchasing power. This article aims: (1) to analyse public spending per student in private, publicly-funded private and public schools from 2007 to 2012; (2) to determine whether household spending on education per student rose in that period; and (3) to ascertain whether the differences among types of school by their students’ socio-economic backgrounds varied in the period studied. Public spending for public and publicly-funded private schools was cut back and increased for private schools. Household spending rose in public and in private institutions and was stable in publicly-funded private schools. Inter-category differences in the breakdown of student bodies by socio-economic background were not observed to change.
Simplifications of the volumetric error model because of the structural loop of machine tools
Authors: Paweł Majda , Jastrzębska Joanna
Published: May 2019

After many years of intensive work the international experts from ISO TC 39 published the technical report called ISO TR 16907 “Machine tools – numerical compensation of geometric errors”. This document defines the terminology, presents benefits and limitations of numerical compensation of machine tools’ and measuring machines’ errors. It gives machines manufacturers and users vital information about how to use numerical compensation. In the context of those types of compensation defined in ISO TR 16907, this article shows rules of selecting models of Volumetric Error for three-axis machine tools. What is more, this paper presents some principles of reduction of these proposed models because of the functional tasks for machine tools. One of the obtained results is an array of reduced models for three-axis machine tools. This array determines the degree of detail of the model and the experimental research program that needs to be carried out in order to determine the Volumetric Error distribution.
Role of Surveying During Reconditioning of Monuments
Authors: Veöreös András
Published: May 2019

Ernő Foerk’s most well-known work in architectural circles is certainly the volume published in the reprint edition, which collects the material of the building surveys conducted by the students of the Hungarian Royal Public Higher Architectural Industrial School between 1912-1942. The introduction to each volume shows that he considered to document the buildings as the main task of the surveys - besides their role in education - and thus to serve the Hungarian culture. Architectural surveying is still one of the most important starting points for monument reconditioning. Ideally, the process of monument reconditioning consists of the following steps: Scientific Research - Pre-planning Technical Studies – Compilation of a Planning Program and Planning - Professional Authority Control (getting of building permission) – Building Construction Work and (Fine Art) Restoration - Maintenance. This paper presents the essential role of surveying in this process.

Ernő Foerk and Gyula Sándy’s Tüköry Mansion in Dioš, Croatia: Genealogy of Architectural and Stylistic Features
Authors: Dundović Boris
Published: May 2019

Tüköry Mansion in Dioš (Diósszentpál), Croatia, was designed by architects Ernő Foerk and Gyula Sándy in 1904. It is situated near the Central Slavonian town of Končanica and in close proximity of Daruvar, on an estate that belonged to Tüköry family. The late-historicist country house was commissioned by Paula von Falkenberg, a widow of Alajos Tüköry de Algyest, as a permanent residence for her and her three children. It was built in the eclectic late-historicist style of fin-de-siècle Hungary, highly inspired by the late-mediaeval art and architecture of northern Italy. Those stylistic influences were strongly manifested in the architectural design of the mansion, but even more its great hall, the focal point of its layout, designed in 1904–05. Based on both archival and terrain research, this paper aims to determine the main factors of cultural and architectural identity of the mansion by elucidating its history and stylistic genealogy.

Authors: Ruíz Jaramillo Claudia Elena
Published: May 2019

En el Departamento del Huila, se implementó la estrategia de Atención Primaria en Salud (APS), con Enfoque Familiar “Salud Puerta a Puerta” (EF SPP), con el propósito de contribuir a la disminución de los indicadores de morbimortalidad, en la población rural pobre y urbana marginal, con difícil acceso a los servicios de salud y con múltiples factores de riesgo. Después de casi tres años de establecimiento de la estrategia, es indispensable un proceso de evaluación de los resultados, que proporcione herramientas de apoyo, en las acciones encaminadas a establecer métodos eficaces para el fortalecimiento de la APS. Para ello se consolidó la investigación, mediante un marco conceptual mínimo general y una revisión completa y crítica de los resultados de APS SPP para reflejar las necesidades comunes de salud y desarrollo de la población huilense. La evaluación arroja un porcentaje promedio de 88% lo que corresponde a una calificación de ACEPTABLE, demostrando grandes debilidades en variables como la Promoción y la Prevención y en los mecanismos de participación activa, elementos relevantes de la Atención Primaria en Salud, igualmente, se presentan en condiciones aptas las variables de aceptabilidad, recursos humanos apropiados y la intersectorialidad. Las variables calificadas como optimo son accesibilidad, demanda inducida, integralidad, primer contacto, enfoque poblacional atención apropiada e integración FESP, todas excepto accesibilidad y primer contacto fueron evaluadas cualitativamente ya que para el proceso de investigación es inaplicable determinar un valor cuantitativo, y no existen documentalmente los valores correspondientes.
Trauma craneoencefálico aspectos epidemiológicos y fisiopatológicos
Authors: Lozano Losada Abner
Published: May 2019

El trauma craneoencefálico es una patología que existe desde el principio de la humanidad. El hombre primitivo supo que el cráneo era el órgano vital por excelencia, y aunque bien protegido, el más letalmente vulnerable. Por eso, buena parte de la táctica guerrera de las antiguas civilizaciones se oriento a la creación de armas para atacarlo y de cascos para defenderlo. Posteriormente los diferentes tipos y mecanismos de lesión han cambiado en relación al desarrollo tecnológico pues con el advenimiento de los vehículos de motor y el trafico desorbitado de nuestras ciudades y carreteras, este padecimiento ha tenido incrementos exponenciales en nuestro siglo, lo cual nos ha motivado a buscar medidas de prevención, así como nuevas y mejores opciones terapéuticas en la atención de estos pacientes. En Colombia son muchas las formas de TCE, las cuales no solo incluyen los accidentes de tránsito o de trabajo que son las formas más frecuentes en los países desarrollados, sino también el trauma craneoencefálico con armas corto contundentes (machete), corto punzantes (cuchillo) y de fuego. El trauma craneoencefálico constituye por lo tanto un importantísimo problema de salud pública, digno de la mejor atención por parte de los gobiernos, de los cuerpos científicos, de los Médicos Generales, Intensivistas y Neurocirujanos donde la vida de un paciente depende de una atención rápida y eficaz. También ha convertido las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos en el paradigma de la patología neurológica aguda, sufriendo en los últimos 25 años, cambios y avances en el manejo de esta entidad patológica.
IMPACT OF COMPANY FINANCIAL RATIO ON SHARE PRICE WITHIN THE PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY
Authors: Adiwidjaja Sheila , Boentoro Sinta
Published: May 2019

Movements in share prices are caused by several factors, both internal and external. The objective of this research is to observe the impact of company financial ratio on share prices within the property and real estate industry using GARCH model. The reason why we chose this industry is because this industry can still grow even when the economic condition is unstable. The research shows that current ratio, debt equity ratio inventory turnover, price earnings ratio and return on equality are jointly significant in predicting share prices. Partially, only price earnings ratio does not significantly impact the share price.

Lemmel syndrome is a rare and misdiagnosed cause of acute abdominal pain due to a juxtapapillary duodenal diverticulum causing mechanical obstruction of the common bile duct. Frequently, patients suffering from Lemmel syndrome have a history of recurrent access to the emergency room for acute abdominal pain referable to a biliopancreatic obstruction, in the absence of lithiasis nuclei or solid lesions at radiological examinations. Ultrasonography (US) may be helpful in evaluation of upstream dilatation of extra-/intra-hepatic biliary duct, but computed tomography (CT) is the reference imaging modality for the diagnosis of periampullary duodenal diverticula compressing the intrapancreatic portion of the common bile duct. Recognition of this entity is crucial for targeted, timely therapy avoiding mismanagement and therapeutic delay. The aim of this paper is to report CT imaging findings and our experience in two patients affected by Lemmel syndrome.
Can Patient’s Body Weight Represent Body Diameter for Pediatric Size-Specific Dose Estimate in Thoracic and Abdominal Computed Tomography?

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether body weight (BW) can be substituted for body diameters to calculate size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) in the children.

Materials and Methods: A total of 196 torso computed tomography (CT) studies were retrospectively reviewed. Anteroposterior diameter (DAP) and lateral diameter (Dlat) were measured, and DAP+Dlat, effective diameter, SSDE diameter and SSDEBW were calculated. Correlation coefficients among body diameters, all SSDE types and percentage changes between CT dose index volumes and SSDEs were analyzed by BW and age subgroups.

Results: Overall BW was more strongly correlated with body diameter (r = 0.919–0.960, P < 0.001) than was overall age (r = 0.852–0.898, P < 0.001). The relationship between CT dose index volume and each of the SSDE types (r = 0.934–0.953, P < 0.001), between SSDEBW and all SSDE diameters (r = 0.934–0.953, P < 0.001), and among SSDE diameters (r = 0.950–0.989, P < 0.001) overall had strong correlations with statistical significance. The lowest magnitude difference was SSDEBW−SSDEeff.

Conclusion: BW can be used instead of body diameter to calculate all SSDE types, with our suggested best accuracy for SSDEeff and the least variation in age < four years and BW < 20 kg.

Key Messages: Size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new and accurate dose-estimating parameter for the individual patient which is based on the actual size or body diameter of the patient. BW can be an important alternative for all body diameters to estimate size-specific dose or calculate SSDE in children.
Nanostructured and Oriented Metal-Organic Framework Films enabling Extreme Surface Wetting Properties

Herein, we report on the synthesis of highly oriented and nanostructured metal-organic framework (MOF) films featuring extreme surface wetting properties. The Ni- and Co- derivatives of the metal-catecholate series (M-CAT-1) were synthesized as highly crystalline bulk materials and thin films. Oriented pillar-like nanostructured M-CAT-1 films exhibiting pronounced needlelike morphology on gold substrates were established by incorporating a crystallization promoter into the film synthesis. These nanostructured M-CAT-1 MOF films feature extreme wetting phenomena, specifically superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic properties with water and underwater oil-contact angles of 0º and up to 174º, respectively. Self-cleaning capabilities for the nanostructured, needle-like M-CAT-1 films were illustrated by measuring time-dependent oil droplet rolling-off a tilted surface. The deposition of the nanostructured Ni-CAT-1 on large glass substrates allowed for the realization of an efficient transparent anti-fog coating enabling a clear view even at extreme temperature gaps up to ca. 120 ºC. This work illustrates the strong link between MOF film morphology and induced surface properties based on these framework materials.

Published: May 2019

Vital inroganic materials are often inefficienty prepared in terms of time, reagents, and manpower. Hydrothermal methods in particular often take many days or even weeks to prepare the desired materials. In this communication, we demonstrate a novel heterogeneous, green synthesis route and the crystal lattice parameters of several pure and intermediate ammonium and potassium titanyl phosphates, representing a significant improvement over existing syntheses in reaction time and precursors used.
Strong Influence of Decoherence Corrections and Momentum Rescaling in Surface Hopping Dynamics of Transition Metal Complexes

Published: May 2019

The reliability of different parameters in the surface hopping method is assessed for a vibronic coupling model of a challenging transition metal complex, where a large number of electronic states of different multiplicities are met within a small energy range. In particular, the effect of two decoherence correction schemes and of various strategies for momentum rescaling and treating frustrating hops during the dynamics is investigated and compared against an accurate quantum dynamics simulation. The results show that small differences in the surface hopping protocol can strongly affect the results. We find a clear preference for momentum rescaling along the nonadiabatic coupling vector and trace this effect back to an enhanced number of frustrated hops. Furthermore, reflection of the momentum after frustrated hops is shown to work better than to ignore the process completely. The study also highlights the importance of the decoherence correction but neither of the two methods employed, energy based decoherence and augmented fewest switches surface hopping, performs completely satisfactory. More generally, the study emphasises the importance of the often neglected parameters in surface hopping and shows that there is still need for simple, robust, and generally applicable correction schemes.
11-Step Asymmetric Synthesis of (–)-Bilobalide

Published: May 2019

The Ginkgo biloba metabolite bilobalide (BB) is widely ingested but poorly understood. However, its antagonism of gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABAAR) has been tied to rescue of cognitive deficits in mouse models of Down syndrome. Prior syntheses required multistep redox strategies to mitigate competing reactions of functional groups—emergent properties of the BB scaffold that cause unexpected reactivity. Here we exploit the unusual reactivity of bilobalide to affect a late-stage ‘inside-out’ oxidation that symmetrizes the molecular core and allows oxidation states to be embedded in the starting material, resulting in an 11-step synthesis. The stereochemically dense scaffold is accessed in asymmetric fashion through a novel catalytic enantioselective Reformatsky reaction and a solvent-dependent radical hydration. Steric compression and a parallel kinetic resolution result in the diastereoselective formation of a remarkably acid-stable oxetane acetal that proves crucial to relay stereochemical information.

Este artigo analisa a evolução no número de beneficiários e no valor do repasse do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF). Para tanto, são feitas considerações sobre o conceito de pobreza e as principais alterações na concepção do PBF. O estudo tem como recorte temporal os anos de 2004 a 2009, e recorte espacial o Nordeste brasileiro, região com os piores indicadores sociais e demográficos do país. A fonte de dados foi a Matriz de Informação Social do MDS (Ministério do Desenvolvimento Social), que aponta para a diminuição no número de beneficiários e no valor repassado aos Programas Remanescentes (Auxílio Gás, Cartão Alimentação, Bolsa Alimentação, Bolsa Escola) vis-à-vis a expansão no número de famílias pobres assistidas pelo PBF. Apesar das críticas de alguns setores aos programas de proteção social, em 2008 foram gastos R$ 10,6 bilhões com PBF, o equivalente a 0,38% do PIB desse ano. A expansão desses programas tem possibilitado a melhora nos indicadores sociais do Nordeste, que aos poucos vem diminuindo o “gap” com o restante do país.
