Authors: Zhang Leilin
Published: October 2021

Practical teaching is an important teaching link in safety engineering. It plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating innovative spirit and practical ability. At present, there is a series of problems in practical teaching of safety engineering in China, such as the incomplete practical teaching system, the substandard teaching organization, and the lack of funds. Drawing on the best practice of Anhui University of Science & Technology (AUST), this paper puts forward a basket of measures to cultivate the practical and innovative abilities of students in safety engineering. The specific measures include developing “peak” disciplines, fusing multi-discipline theories, setting up school-enterprise cooperation platforms, deepening second-classroom education, and promoting institutional construction. Our measures help local colleges to train advanced safety engineering talents with practical and innovative abilities.

With the emergence of mobile technologies in education, the special needs students are gaining the infinite benefits that could enhance their learning sessions. Numerous studies are conducted on the usage of mobile technologies    among the special needs students including their acceptance towards the technologies, its advantages as well as the obstacles on the utilisation of mobile technologies. However, fewer studies are done on the usage of mobile technologies among the hearing-impaired (HI) students. There is a need for more studies on that as the number of hearing-impaired people are increasing continuously around the globe. Hence, the aims of the study are to explore the hearing-impaired students’ perspectives on the usa of mobile technologies in learning ESL. In-depth interviews are conducted among the selected ten hearing-impaired students from four different secondary schools in Malaysia and the notable finding demonstrates the majority of them believed that mobile technologies assist them in learning. This study provides the insights for the education stakeholders, especially the policy makers and inventors to create the solutions and improvise the features of mobile technologies that are more user-friendly towards the hearing-impaired students.

Cet article présente les avancées de la recherche sur la législation culturelle concernant les artistes, sous les gouvernements du Frente Amplio, en Uruguay. À cette fin, les procès-verbaux de la commission de la culture et la discussion parlementaire concernant le statut de l'artiste et des métiers connexes approuvés en 2008 ont été analysés et les données du ministère du Travail sur le registre des artistes ont été systématisées. Les deux manières d'aborder le sujet nous ont permis de savoir combien sont les artistes inscrits et leurs profils et les positions de certains législateurs dans la discussion parlementaire. Les résultats montrent à quel point cette législation est peu connue des artistes et de la société. Cela entrave et retarde les nouvelles réalisations législatives plus inclusives.
El sujeto femenino y la anarquía en el arte cubano contemporáneo
Authors: Díaz Helga Montalván
Published: October 2021

Cierta anarquía va encauzando terrenos fértiles que continúan proponiendo particularidades de la experiencia de la mujer, en una posición donde no son el dolor y los dramas de la sexualidad lo que definen los resortes teóricos del discurso, sino una subjetividad más centrada y expandida a partir de sí; donde «la otra» no se instaura desde el drama de lo excluido sino que ha creado zonas alternas de generación de sentido, provocando un sujeto que no se afilia a las condicionantes heredadas que enmascaran sus estrategias de reversión de lo normativo, creando zonas de desplazamientos donde aboga su subjetividad y se instaura por sí misma.

L’iconographie Mochica (0-800 apr. J.-C.) de par sa richesse et son style a séduit de nombreux spécialistes et chercheurs de tous genres. Dans cette production foisonnante, les scènes dites érotiques constituent un corpus apparemment distinct et irrésistible. Elles ont souvent été traitées isolément au détriment de l’ensemble de cette culture visuelle. Le but de cette courte incursion est de les replacer au sein de ce système complexe et par le fait même, de démontrer qu’elles contribuent à instruire les concepts les plus fondamentaux de la pensée symbolique Mochica.

Hallux valgus (HV) violates the musculoskeletal function of the lower limb, and also affect the x-ray anatomical parameters of the foot. There is the study of the most important correlations between age, morphological and functional changes of the forefoot play a big role in the choice of treatment tactics for this pathology. The aim was to analyze the age, functional and radiological results of surgical treatment of Hallux valgus deformity of the first toe using the methods saving the metatarsophalangeal joint. 126 patients had Hallux valgus deformity of the first toe of I, II, III degree. They were examined before surgery, then 3, 6 and 12 months after operation. 126 patients were operated according to the method of Scarf, Austin, Bosch-Magnan osteotomy. X-ray results were assessed by the Hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMMA) before and after the operations. AOFAS rating scale (Kitaoka) and biomechanical (stabilometric) study were used for the functional assessment of the surgical treatment results. The IMA correction angle after operation increases with the patient's age. HVA becomes the most deformed angle in the pathology of Hallux valgus with increasing age before osteotomy. The best functional result according to the AOFAS scale was obtained with the greatest correction of the IMA angle after osteotomy. The functional index of the foot decreased with increasing age after osteotomies.

Published: October 2021

Primary mediastinal germ cell tumors are a rare finding, and one third of them are seminomas. Seminomas are found in the anterior mediastinum, whereas they are extremely rare within the posterior compartment. Most clinicians would not consider a primary seminoma in the differential diagnosis of a posterior mediastinal mass, as only two cases have been reported in literature. Here we present the case of a 57-year-old male with a primary seminoma arising in the left posterior mediastinum. He was asymptomatic and the mass was an incidental finding. Positron emission tomography (PET) revealed a small area with an avid tracer uptake. Transthoracic needle aspiration led to a non-diagnostic result. Due to the strong suspect of malignancy, a surgical excision was chosen to obtain a diagnosis. He underwent complete excision, and pathology report demonstrated a mediastinal seminoma. Subsequent further staging did not reveal any other location of the disease. Given the complete excision of the primary tumor, active surveillance was the treatment of choice. The patient is free of disease 48 months after diagnosis.

Published: October 2021

Background:

There is a direct relationship exists between hemiplegic walking speed and functional limitations, both in household and community ambulation. Walking after stroke is characterized by slow gait speed, poor endurance, and change in the quality and adaptability of walking patterns. Side stability, symmetrical weight-bearing, and backward motor control ability are required to improve walking function.

Objective:

To investigate whether a combination of backward and side walking training is effective in improving walking speed and walking endurance in patients with poststroke hemiparesis.

Study Design:

An experimental randomized controlled study design.

Methods:

A total of 56 patients with poststroke hemiparesis fulfilling inclusion criteria were recruited for the study. Patients in the experimental group received 30 min of backward and side walking training of 15 min each. The patients in the control group received conventional occupational therapy for 30 min. Walking speed was assessed by walking endurance was evaluated by 10-m walk test (MWT) (and walking endurance was evaluated by 6MWT. Follow-up assessment was performed after 6 weeks of intervention.

Results:

In the within-group comparisons, both experimental and control groups showed significant differences postintervention (P < 0.05). In the between-group comparison, patients in the experimental group showed more improvement than the control group for walking speed (P = 0.001, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.86 to 9.73) and walking endurance (P = 0.004, 95% CI: 8.32 to 9.47) after 6-weeks of intervention.

Conclusions:

This study concluded that combined backward and side walking training has a better effect on walking speed and endurance than conventional therapy.
Lining Property Characterizations for an Improved Integration Cascade
Authors: Flight Jacob Paul , Divakaruni Saikiran , Kula Peter
Published: October 2021

New technologies, such as electrified powertrain and autonomous driving solutions, are transforming the automotive industry in such a way that achieving vehicle level performance requirements demands an increasingly intensive and detailed system integration exercise. Validation of the braking system, critical to any vehicle level project, must evolve so that the ever-increasing requirements cascade is answered in a way that ensures the highest level of safety and performance as the industry moves toward a new frontier of features. To support this evolution of integration methodology, critical-to-performance components, such as brake pads, must undergo a transformation in how performance metrics are characterized, communicated, and documented. It is essential that the physical properties of brake pads are measured accurately with standardized procedures and represent a set of characteristics that directly relate to system (brake caliper) interaction, which results in a robust cascade of requirements. Recommendations are listed below for some key brake pad topics which will be discussed in detail within this paper.
1
Standardization for Pad Assembly Compressibility Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (RandR)

2
Industry-wide discrepancies of process capability requirements for short term & long-term for Pad Assembly Compressibility

Potential and Challenges for Application-Specific Friction Characteristics of Race Brake Pads
Authors: Ugarte Xabier , Voigt Juergen
Published: October 2021

As a race driver hits the pedal to trigger the braking event, a dynamic load transfer takes place in the car. This is a similar kind of weight transfer experienced on the road while stopping any vehicle abruptly. Modern race cars such as FIA-regulated Grand Touring Car classes GT3 and LMGTE produce a significant aerodynamic downforce at a reasonably high efficiency level. In this type of high downforce race cars, load variations originated by aerodynamics are added onto the mass transfer. The combination of these effects provide a braking effect with this type of cars a highly transient character. At the same time, our customers are facing the challenge of strict technical regulations, usually forbidding brake control systems. In motorsport competition, car performance is of primary priority to help our customers win championships. For the pursue of maximum performance, it is essential to make use all available load on each tyre in order to stop later, by optimizing braking efficiency and supporting the car rotate around the apex. In this analysis, the potentials of dedicated friction material developments with application-specific friction characteristics for brake torque migration are introduced, and the challenges and benefits inherent on this concept discussed. The study consists of a presentation of a simulative approach and a dynamometer testing method providing 4D characterization maps as base for this concept. The analysis is complemented by a case-study following this method, which led to the development of a new generation of digressive friction materials for race application.
Analysis of the Effect of the Wedged Type Brake Caliper Piston on Brake Drag

Published: October 2021

Recently, there’s a massive flow of change in the automotive industry with the coming era of electric vehicles and self-driving (autonomous) vehicles. The automotive braking system field is not an exception for the change and there are not only lots of new systems being developed but also demands for researches for optimizations of conventional brake systems fitting to the newly appeared systems such as E-Booster and Electric Motor Brake (EMB) Caliper. Taking the Electric Motor Brake Caliper for example, it is considered as a very important and useful system for autonomous vehicles because the motor actuator of the caliper is much easier to control with ECUs compared to the conventional hydraulic pressure system. However, easy of control is not the only thing that excites brake system engineers. Since the whole actuating mechanism of the brake systems has been changed, engineers now can see some new ways to solve chronic problems in conventional brake systems such as brake residual drag, brake fade and so forth. Brake residual drag can be possibly solved by simply connecting the motor actuator of the caliper to the brake piston so that ECUs can actually control the whole life cycle of brake torque creation and extinction. However, there have to be a few more components needed on top of the fact that its structure inside the brake piston could be much more complex than it used to be and this could cause some side effects as well. With the reasons above, this study illuminates the concept for a way of reducing brake residual drag in the new systems by enhancing the capability of piston roll-back of the caliper without any complex structures. Several test results and CAE analysis are presented and discussed to get a better understanding of the concept.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is an important subject for global health. Ghana experienced lowmoderate transmission of the disease when the first case was detected in March 12, 2020 until the middle of July when the number of cases begun to drop. By August 24, 2020, the country's total number of confirmed cases stood at 43,622, with 263 deaths. By the same time, the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) of the University of Ghana, the primary testing centre for COVID-19, had tested 285,501 with 28,878 confirmed cases. Due to database gaps, there were initial challenges with timely reporting and feedback to stakeholders during the peak surveillance period. The gaps resulted from mismatches between samples and their accompanying case investigation forms, samples without case investigation forms and vice versa, huge data entry requirements, and delayed test results. However, a revamp in data management procedures, and systems helped to improve the turnaround time for reporting results to all interested parties and partners. Additionally, inconsistencies such as multiple entries and discrepant patient-sample information were resolved by introducing a barcoding electronic capture system. Here, we describe the main challenges with COVID-19 data management and analysis in the laboratory and recommend measures for improvement.

Published: October 2021

La Didáctica centrada en el estudiante exige la utilización de concepciones, modelos, alternativas, estrategias y métodos adecuados, en los que el proceso de enseñanza- aprendizaje se conciba cada vez más como resultado del vínculo entre lo afectivo, lo cognitivo, las interacciones sociales y la comunicación.

La presente investigación científica ofrece elementos teóricos y metodológicos esenciales que permiten asumir posiciones bien fundamentadas y estructuradas acerca de las estrategias pedagógicas dirigidas a los docentes y los métodos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, lo que en ocasiones se aborda desde diversas posiciones, no siempre consistentes y con múltiples acepciones e interpretaciones.

La Pedagogía se enfrenta a un gran reto en estos momentos, la dirección y conducción adecuada del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la Educación Superior con el empleo del Constructivismo, donde el estudiante sea quien produzca el conocimiento desarrollando un pensamiento crítico, reflexivo desde el punto de vista cognoscitivo, poniendo a su disposición estrategias de aprendizaje en un contexto donde lamentablemente predomina una Pedagogía Conductista. El presente artículo aborda las estrategias de enseñanza- y aprendizaje que permiten tanto al profesor como al estudiante, tener una comprensión profunda de este fenómeno dentro del proceso docente educativo en la Facultad de Marketing y Comunicación, de la Universidad Tecnológica Ecotec.

 

Student-centered Didactics requires the use of appropriate conceptions, models, alternatives, strategies and methods, in which the teaching-learning process is increasingly conceived as a result of the link between the affective, the cognitive, social interactions and the communication.

This scientific research offers essential theoretical and methodological elements that allow us to assume well-founded and structured positions about pedagogical strategies aimed at teachers and teaching and learning methods, which is sometimes approached from different positions, not always consistent and with multiple meanings and interpretations.

Pedagogy faces a great challenge at this time, the proper direction and conduction of the teaching and learning process in Higher Education with the use of Constructivism, where the student is the one who produces knowledge by developing critical thinking, reflective from the point of view. from a cognitive point of view, making learning strategies available to them in a context where, unfortunately, a Behavioral Pedagogy predominates. This article addresses the teaching- and learning strategies that allow both the teacher and the student to have a deep understanding of this phenomenon within the educational teaching process at the Faculty of Marketing and Communication of the Ecotec Technological University.

Authors: Pérez Jessica Quintero , Lazalde Arturo Reyes , Chapero Rosa María Reyes , Monreal Marleni Reyes , Bonilla María Eugenia Pérez
Published: October 2021

Las células del nodo sinusal generan la principal actividad eléctrica marcapaso del corazón. La actividad marcapaso se debe a la presencia de la corriente funny (If). Esta corriente iónica es entrante y se activa con la hiperpolarización en rangos de voltaje presentes durante la fase de despolarización diastólica; contrario a la mayoría de las corrientes iónicas que se activan con la despolarización. El canal funny es permeable a iones Na+ y K+. Generalmente, en el curso de biofísica a nivel de licenciatura los alumnos conocen algunos canales dependientes de voltaje del tipo de Hodgkin y Huxley que se activan con la despolarización. Sin embargo, no se estudia ningún canal que se active con una hiperpolarización. En este trabajo se diseñó y desarrolló un simulador para el estudio y comprensión de la corriente funny presente en el nodo sinusal del conejo. El simulador fue programado en lenguaje Visual Basic ver. 6.0 para ambiente Windows® de XP a Windows® 10. El usuario puede realizar los experimentos con la técnica de fijación de voltaje, modificar las variables y concentraciones de Na+ y K+ externos y observar el efecto en la amplitud de If y la cinética de la curva I-V. Se recomienda su uso como material didáctico de apoyo durante los cursos de biofísica y fisiología en una sala de cómputo o a distancia en cualquier computadora personal con recursos mínimos.

 

The sinus node cells generate the main electric pacemaker activity of the heart. The pacemaker activity is due to the presence of the current funny (If). This ionic current is incoming and is activated with hypolarization in voltage ranges present during the diastolic depolarization phase, contrary to most ionic currents that are activated by depolarization. The funny channel is permeable to Na+ and K+ ions. Generally, students enrolled in the biophysics course at the undergraduate level are familiar with some voltage-gated channels of the Hodgkin and Huxley type. However, no channel that is activated by hiperpolarization is studied. In this work, a simulator was designed and developed for the study and understanding of the funny current present in the sinus node of rabbits. The simulator was programmed in Visual Basic Language ver. 6.0 for Windows® environment from XP to Windows® 10. The user can perform the experiments with the voltage clamp technique, modify the variables and concentrations of external Na+ and K+ and observe the effect on the amplitude of If and the kinetics of the curve I-V. It is recommended to be used as a support didactic material during biophysics and physiology courses in a computer room or remotely on any personal computer with minimal resources.

Perencanaan Pusat Batik ini bertujuan mendorong pertumbuhan di bidang ekonomi, baik perdagangan atau pariwisata. Perencanaan Pusat Batik Kaltim ini selain sebagai tempat produksi batik dan penjualan batik, juga berperan dalam kegiatan edukasi membatik bagi para pengunjung dan masyarakat umum. Kendala utama yang dapat muncul dalam perencanaan ini adalah terkait sistem utilitas bangunan dan lingkungan. Sistem utilitas meliputi sistem pengolahan limbah, pembuangan sampah, pemanfaatan air hujan dan pengolahan tapak agar ramah lingkungan. Selain utilitas, faktor organisasi ruang juga menjadi permasalahan karena jika tak diolah berpotensi membuat kegiatan di dalamnya menjadi tidak efektif. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasi, wawancara dan studi pustaka untuk mendapatkan perencanaan yang baik ditinjau dari ilmu arsitektur. Hal yang dihasilkan dari penelitian ini adalah sistem utilitas dirancang di area tapak bangunan dengan menggunakan empat bak-bak penampung limbah yang diletakkan di area tapak. Bak penampung berupa bak penampung awal, lilin malam, bak pengendapan, dan koagulasi, selanjutnya aman dibuang ke sungai Mahakam yang mengelilingi area pulau Kumala. Organisasi ruang diatur dalam tiga cluster workshop, display dan edukasi untuk menciptakan zona-zona yang lebih privasi karena perbedaan kegiatan di dalamnya. Diharapkan perencanaan pusat batik ini dapat memberikan kontribusi pada perencanaan fungsi bangunan sejenis terutama di permasalahan utilitas.
Effect of Yoga Pranayama (Breathing Techniques) on the Vagus Nerve in Countering Major Depression and Related Ailments; A Literature Review
Authors:   Research scholar, department of human consciousness and yogic sciences, Dev Sanskriti University, Haridwar, India     Dr. Vijay kumar Singh, Bandara Namal
Published: October 2021

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a major psychiatric condition associated with functional impairment and high levels of morbidity and mortality (M. Li, 2015) (Lohoff, 2010). It is characterized by mode alterations, diminished interests, impaired cognitive function and vegetative symptoms such as disturbed sleep and appetite changes (Christian Otte, 2016) are common patients suffering from MDD. Our nervous system is built around the balance and harmony of two opposing activities (Laurie Kelly McCorry, 2007). 1. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is associated with the fight or flight response. 2. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is associated with relaxation, digestion, and regeneration. These two systems are meant to work in rhythmic alternation, a process that supports healthy rhythms of alertness and restfulness that facilitate physical and mental health (Shah, 2018). In order to treat ailments such as MDD, many techniques are used to stimulate the vagus nerve for better functioning (Bruno Bonaz, 2018). Different forms of pranayama tends to activate different branches of the autonomic nervous system, this causes positive changes to the oxygen consumption, metabolism and skin resistance. The literature evidence gathered states that the mechanisms of the vagul nerve stimulation helps in the parasympathetic activation in an event of stress depression and major depression. When the pranayam is mixed with certain yogic asana’s while controlling the breath, it seems to have a better countering of MDD and related disorders.
