Prototype of the Energy Efficient Device for Measurement and Analysis of Impacts During Small Parcel Shipping
Authors: Stančić Ivo , Jukić Jelena , Musić Josip
Published: January 2019

Small parcels are unfortunately subjected to different kinds of risks during the transport and delivery process. Shock is the most severe hazard that can result from kicks, drops, or tosses and by which fragile and sensitive content can be damaged or destroyed. Modern-day parcel delivery methods have a severe impact on the possibility of mechanical damage to transported goods. This article deals with the challenge of creating a simple, inexpensive, and modular logger that can measure mishandling and environmental conditions during parcel transport and delivery. The proposed logger is a small electronic device that can be sent together with the shipped content, thus simultaneously detecting and recording possible mishandling incidents during both transport and delivery. The device was successfully tested in several real-life scenarios (with different delivery service providers) and provided valuable insight into small parcel handling during the delivery process.
Neuroscience Research and Mentoring in Puerto Rico: What Succeeds in This Environment?
Authors: Quirk Gregory J.
Published: January 2019

Twenty years ago, I arrived in Puerto Rico from New York City to establish a neuroscience laboratory and research program on extinction of conditioned fear. The lab's first research paper appeared in theJournal of Neuroscience(Quirk et al., 2000) and has been cited >900 times. The success of this project in Puerto Rico far surpassed my original expectations. Therefore, I thought it might be useful to identify the factors responsible for this success, with the hope of facilitating the development of laboratories in diverse settings. A description of our lab practices is interspersed with personal statements from trainees hailing from Puerto Rico and other parts of Latin America. Creating an effective research and training environment depends less on the director's personality and more on the proper practice of activities that foster intellectual growth, such as journal clubs, lab meetings, and philosophy of science retreats. On a personal level, this project has been enormously gratifying. The unique environment in Puerto Rico fostered my best work, and I am very happy to have established my laboratory here.
El objeto de prohibición en el delito de rebelión del art. 472 CP desde la óptica del modelo de Estado social y democrático de Derecho previsto constitucionalmente
Authors: Bages Santacana Joaquim
Published: January 2019

Durante meses el delito de rebelión del art. 472 CP ha ocupado una posición central dentro del intenso debate desarrollado en el seno de la sociedad española a propósito de los hechos ocurridos en relación con el llamado ‘‘proceso independentista catalán’’. Pese a ser verdaderamente escasos los estudios que analizan este delito de forma mínimamente pormenorizada, el propio diseño constitucional conduce a interpretarlo de forma restrictiva puesto que, si la conducta ha de ser adecuada para destruir el sistema jurídico-político vigente, tan sólo pueden ser constitutivos de dicha infracción los alzamientos públicos y violentos idóneos para provocar la declaración de estado de sitio prevista en el art. 116 CE. En cuanto a las modalidades comisivas, tanto la violencia física como la psicológica pueden ser medios eficaces para generar este potencial peligro para el orden constitucional.
TP901-1 Phage Recombinase Facilitates Genome Engineering inDrosophila melanogaster
Authors: Voutev Roumen , Mann Richard S
Published: January 2019

Molecular biology techniques have a large impact on biomedical research and the availability of diverse tools to perform genome manipulations advances the ease of executing complicated genetic research. Here, we introduce in the fruit fly another such tool by harnessing the phage recombinase TP901-1 to perform site-directed recombination that leads to recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE). The TP901-1 system complements already existing recombination systems and enhances genome engineering in the fruit fly and other organisms.
Sequence Characteristics Distinguish Transcribed Enhancers from Promoters and Predict Their Breadth of Activity
Authors: Colbran Laura L , Chen Ling , Capra John A
Published: January 2019

Enhancers and promoters both regulate gene expression by recruiting transcription factors (TFs); however, the degree to which enhancer vs. promoter activity is due to differences in their sequences or to genomic context is the subject of ongoing debate. We examined this question by analyzing the sequences of thousands of transcribed enhancers and promoters from hundreds of cellular contexts previously identified by cap analysis of gene expression. Support vector machine classifiers trained on counts of all possible 6-bp-long sequences (6-mers) were able to accurately distinguish promoters from enhancers and distinguish their breadth of activity across tissues. Classifiers trained to predict enhancer activity also performed well when applied to promoter prediction tasks, but promoter-trained classifiers performed poorly on enhancers. This suggests that the learned sequence patterns predictive of enhancer activity generalize to promoters, but not vice versa. Our classifiers also indicate that there are functionally relevant differences in enhancer and promoter GC content beyond the influence of CpG islands. Furthermore, sequences characteristic of broad promoter or broad enhancer activity matched different TFs, with predicted ETS- and RFX-binding sites indicative of promoters, and AP-1 sites indicative of enhancers. Finally, we evaluated the ability of our models to distinguish enhancers and promoters defined by histone modifications. Separating these classes was substantially more difficult, and this difference may contribute to ongoing debates about the similarity of enhancers and promoters. In summary, our results suggest that high-confidence transcribed enhancers and promoters can largely be distinguished based on biologically relevant sequence properties.
Klaipėdos akmens masės keramika (XIV–XVIII amžius)
Authors: Ziabreva Viktorija
Published: January 2019

In the early ages of the town of Klaipėda, stoneware production came from either the German production centers of Siegburg, Lower Saxony, Langerwehe, Waldenburg, Aachen/Raeren, Cologne, Frechen, Westerwald, Altenburg, Annaberg or from the centers located in England, London: Woolwich, Fullham and Lambeth factories and from the Nottingham production center. Earliest stoneware pieces, dated from the second half of the 13th c. to early 16th c., were distributed among the Castle and the early colonists’ town areas. The growth of this kind of vessels in the town coincides with the historical data on urban construction. Four functional groups of stoneware were identified in the studied material from Klaipėda. According to the stoneware data, it was possible to clarify the dating of some stoneware vessels and cultural layers in the Town area of Klaipėda.

Keywords: stoneware ceramics, import, the clarification of the cultural layers, the Middle Ages, Klaipėda.

Published: January 2019

The textile industry is a generator of high volumes of waste water with a high content of pollutants such as azo dyes, which are recalcitrant and persistent in the environment, these ones have been of interest in the last decades for the entities in charge of the care of the environment. This study evaluated the ability to discolor of reactive black 5 (NR5) by a consortium and the microorganisms that constitute Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Galactomyces pseudocandidum and Escherichia coli free and immobilized in calcium alginate, coffee husks and bagasse of sugar cane. The results show discoloration was evidenced, where the highest percentage corresponds to G. pseudocandidum (90,05%) and the lowest to R. mucilaginosa (79,31%). When comparing the percentages of discoloration between the free microorganisms and the immobilization matrices, it is observed that the former exhibit the highest percentages of discoloration. In addition, there are no significant differences between using cane bagasse or coffee husks as immobilization matrix.

Published: January 2019

This research aims to analyze the influence of Engineering professors’ competencies on their performance, as perceived by Engineering students and graduates from a Brazilian federal public university. Regarding methodology, a set of Engineering educators’ competencies were proposed, identified, and validated by exploratory factor analysis (EFA), parallel analysis, internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), and partial confirmatory factor analysis (PCFA) in a sample of 139 Engineering students and graduates (engineers), who answered a 35-item questionnaire. Results reveal three main competencies (namely, content-pedagogical knowledge, innovation-inspiring attitudes, and emotional skills) that further the research on the competencies of Engineering professors. First, content-pedagogical knowledge is perceived by students as a single, merged competence. Second, Engineering students not only need to develop innovation competencies, but Engineering educators also have to develop innovation-inspiring attitudes to motivate students’ innovativeness. Third, emotional skills also play an important role in professors’ performance. Finally, the impact of these competencies on Engineering educators’ performance was confirmed and analyzed by means of a logistic regression.

“Fake news acima de tudo, fake news acima de todos”: Bolsonaro e o “kit gay”, “ideologia de gênero” e fim da “família tradicional”
Authors: Maranhão Filho Eduardo Meinberg de Albuquerque , Coelho Fernanda Marina Feitosa , Dias Tainah Biela
Published: January 2019

O presente texto analisa como a produção de fake news impulsionou a campanha de Jair Messias Bolsonaro (Partido Social Liberal - PSL) à Presidência da República, culminando em sua vitória no 2º turno das eleições do ano de 2018. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfico-documental, demonstramos como sua campanha se utilizou de estratégias discursivas que associavam o candidato à defesa da “família tradicional brasileira” por meio da oposição ao “kit gay” e à “ideologia de gênero”. Sua campanha teve o apoio massivo de setores conservadores da sociedade brasileira, tais como integrantes da Frente Parlamentar Evangélica (FPE) e lideranças religiosas proeminentes na mídia como o pastor assembleiano Silas Malafaia. Por fim, refletimos sobre as formas como a campanha de Jair Messias Bolsonaro e sua consequente vitória colocam desafios à democracia e à laicidade do Estado brasileiro, sobretudo considerando o não-compromisso com os direitos de mulheres e da população LGBT+ e com questões de gênero e sexualidade, combatidas com argumentos falaciosos que também são respaldados por um discurso político-religioso que se afirma monolítico.

Authors: Pichler Alois
Published: January 2019

This paper introduces and publishes two letters from 1934 written by Wittgenstein to Sraffa. The first of these confirms that on the one hand Wittgenstein and Sraffa had communicative difficulties. On the other hand Wittgenstein acknowledged the strength of Sraffa’s thinking and he was aware of being positively influenced by it. The second longer letter is part of a debate between Wittgenstein and Sraffa that had been ongoing in the few weeks preceding the letter. In the letter, Wittgenstein tried to clarify and review in part his thinking on the points he discussed during the debate.

Published: January 2019

Despite many computational tools were developed to predict circular RNAs (circRNAs), a limited number of work-flows exists to fully analyse a circRNA set ensuring the computational reproducibility of the whole analysis. For this purpose, we designed Docker4Circ, a computational work-flow for a comprehensive circRNAs analysis of a circRNAs composed of four modules: the circRNAs prediction (module 1), the circRNAs classification and annotation (module 2), the circRNAs sequence analysis (module 3), and circRNAs expression analysis (module 4). To ensure reproducibility each function of Docker4Circ was embeded into a docker image following guideline provided by Reproducible Bioinformatics Project (RBP, http://reproducible-bioinformatics.org/). Each function is included in the Docker4Seq R package which already includes different solutions for reproducible bioinformatic analyses. This protocol describes the use of each function of Docker4Circ to analyse the circRNAs predicted from a set of RNA-Seq experiments performed in normal colon and colorectal cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the description of the functions required to compute the expression level of the analysed circRNAs in a set of RNA-Seq experiments of colorectal primary tumors is provided.
De la invisibilidad al protagonismo. La mujer como objeto de discurso en el No-do
Authors: Peinado Rodríguez Matilde
Published: January 2019

El artículo que presentamos toma como herramienta documental los noticiarios y documentales generados por el NO-DO (1942-1975) para analizar, desde la imagen de la mujer que nos transmiten, las pervivencias ideológicas con las que aún convivimos. La reciente apertura pública de parte de sus contenidos está incrementando las investigaciones en torno al mismo, constituyendo una fuente de primer orden para conocer la historia de la política cultural del régimen franquista y de su propaganda cinematográfica, en una España donde el cine y el NODO se presentaban como las únicas oportunidades al ocio para la mayor parte de la población femenina española. Nos proponemos de-construir el discurso narrativo que proyecta (visual, verbal, etc), como una interpretación subjetiva de la realidad que debe ser analizarla y contrastada con otras fuentes y reflexionar, en definitiva, sobre las trayectorias vitales del colectivo femenino para repensar a las mujeres como sujetos de su propia historia.
The Depressed Class Of Elderly: Case Studies Of Elderly Population Among Lower Income Households
Authors: Saha Sumita , Sengupta Somrita
Published: January 2019

India is often interpreted as a country which is still influenced by the values of gerontocracy as well as joint family households.  However modernizing trends are affecting the nooks and corners of every part of the society, and India is no left behind. The present paper seeks to explore the domain of physical and mental well being of the elderly population among the lower income households in the country.  The findings of the paper show that in lower income households, nuclear families values are gradually penetrating, which is transforming the elderly- family interactions. It is seen that the elderly population which were previously acknowledged as the head of the household or one of the major decision maker are gradually sidelined or excluded from the household affairs. Awareness of being excluded is often a primary reason behind the degrading physical and mental well being of the elderly populace. They are often treated as an unwanted liability, which will be relieved only with their deaths. Case studies of 20 elderly respondents have been taken to explore the physical and mental health of the elderly populace among the lower income households.
ANN Circuit Application of Complementary Resistive Switches
Authors: UÇAR Erdem , KARAKULAK Ertuğrul , MUTLU Reşat
Published: January 2019

Artificial neural networks are successfully used for classification,
prediction, estimation, modeling and system control. However, artificial neural
networks integrated circuits are expensive and not matured enough. Memristors
or memristive systems which show a nonvolatile memory behavior has a high
potential for use in artificial neural network circuit applications. Some
memristive synapse or memristive neural network applications already exist in
literature. The complementary memristor or resistive switch memories have been
suggested as an alternative to one-cell memristor memories. Their sensing is
more difficult and complex than the others. The complementary memristor memory
topologies with a sensing node are also inspected in literature. To the best of
our knowledge, a neural network circuit which is based on the complementary
resistive switches with a sensing/writing node does not exist in literature
yet.  In this paper, several neural
network circuits which are based on the complementary resistive switches with a
sensing/writing node have been designed and examined for the first time in
literature. Their analysis are given and simulations are performed to verify
their operation. We expect that such a complementary resistive switch
implementation may find use in artificial neural networks chips in the future.
Optic Disc Segmentation based on Template Matching and Active Contour Method
Authors: ARSLAN TUNCER Seda
Published: January 2019

This paper proposes a
hybrid method that is capable of automatically implementing the Optic Disc (OD)
segmentation. In the hybrid method, two steps were performed. First, the
location of the OD was determined by template matching. Second, the OD location
coordinates obtained in the first stage were given as inputs to the Active
Contour Method applied to complete the OD segmentation. Furthermore, as part of
this study,  Android based a program was
developed to allow physicians the ability to independently access the proposed
hybrid method results from anywhere and to add comments. Thus, the physician
would be able to instantly track the patient. Performance evaluation of the
proposed hybrid method was done separately for both localization and
segmentation. The success of localization was confirmed on the basis of whether
the determined coordinates corresponded to the OD. The segmentation process was
assessed according to the parameters, as derived from a confusion matrix. The
average Dice coefficient obtained for all images was 0.943, while the average
values of accuracy, specificity and sensitivity parameters for all images were
calculated as 0.90, 0.961 and 0.931, respectively. The final results obtained
from the proposed hybrid method were checked by a physician, who observed that
the OD was successfully segmented.

Published: January 2019

Predicting the sales amount as close as to the
actual sales amount can provide many benefits to companies. Since the fashion
industry is not easily predictable, it is not straightforward to make an
accurate prediction of sales.  In this
study, we applied not only regression methods in machine learning, but also
time series analysis techniques to forecast the sales amount based on several
features. We applied our models on Walmart sales data in Microsoft Azure
Machine Learning Studio platform. The following regression techniques were
applied: Linear Regression, Bayesian Regression, Neural Network Regression,
Decision Forest Regression and Boosted Decision Tree Regression. In addition to
these regression techniques, the following time series analysis methods were implemented:
Seasonal ARIMA, Non-Seasonal ARIMA, Seasonal ETS, Non -Seasonal ETS, Naive
Method, Average Method and Drift Method. It was shown that Boosted Decision Tree
Regression provides the best performance on this sales data. This project is a
part of the development of a new decision support system for the retail
industry.
Assessment of Self Archiving in Digital Repositories: Is there any Difference between Science and Agriculture Scholars?
Authors: Gunasekera Chamani
Published: January 2019

This study examines the differences in scholarly publishing and self-archiving practices of academic scholars in the faculties of agriculture and science in University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Survey method was adapted and a questionnaire specifically designed was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The study population consisted of all permanent academic staff in the two faculties. The study established that majority of the respondents of both faculties were aware of self-archiving concept as a means for providing open access but not many of them had experience in self-archiving. Majority of respondents from both faculties began this activity two to three years ago and they learnt about self-archiving by working in a field with established subject based archives. The original motivators for self-archiving were self motivation and declared citation advantage of open access papers. Agriculture scholars deposited more full text articles in digital repositories than science scholars. When analyzing the results of this study, it was proved that most of the scholars in agriculture faculty preferred to deposit conference papers while science scholars mostly preferred preprint materials. PDF is the most preferred file format to deposit in the digital repositories.

Correlation between Daily Page Views and View Duration: An Exploration of National Library Websites
Authors: Mandal Sukanya , Das Arijit
Published: January 2019

Generally page view and view duration help to estimate the popularity of a site they are also determining factors for estimating the extent of use of that site. This paper seeks to establish a “correlation” between the two variables, i.e. daily page views per visitor and daily time on site (view duration) of twenty five national library websites around the world to see the degree of association. A scatter diagram indicating the nature of association between these two variables is drawn. The Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (r) is 0.744, which indicates a strong positive relation between these two variables. The pattern of scatter diagram also represents a positive correlation, which means the association between the variables is direct, indicating thereby that if the value of average page view is high then the value of daily time on site also will be high, and low values are associated with low values.

Tarihin her döneminde "gerçeküstü" olana ilgi gösterilmiştir. Bilimsel bilgi öncesinde, hurafeler zamanında bu durum makul kabul edilebilir. Bununla birlikte sanayi devrimini takip eden süreçte yerleşen bilimsel bilgi anlayışına ve bilginin tabana yayılmasını sağlayan kitle iletişim araçlarına rağmen gerçeküstüye olan ilginin son yıllarda artması incelemeye değer bir toplumsal olgudur. Araştırmanın amacı, medyanın antik Maya uygarlığının kullandığı takvimden yola çıkarak bilimsel temelden ve gerçeklik bağlamından uzak, "gerçeküstü" bir temsil sergilediğini ortaya koymaktır. Örnekleme dahil olan haberler çerçeveleme yaklaşımı ile değerlendirilecektir. Mayaların takvimi konusu ile ilgili tarih, arkeoloji, antropoloji bilimlerinin ortaya koyduğu bilimsel bilgi yerine bilimsel dayanağı olmayan veriler üzerinden nasıl bir temsil oluşturulduğu saptanacaktır. Haberin başlığı, alt başlık ve üst başlıkları, spotu ve kullanılan görselleri ile nasıl bir çerçevede okura sunulduğu tespit edilecektir. Çerçeveleme yaklaşımına ek olarak haber metinlerinin dil üzerinden bilimsel bağlamdan ne şekilde uzaklaştığını ortaya koymak üzere söylem analizinden yararlanılacaktır. Böylece haberin nasıl "gizemli" ve "gerçeküstü" bir dil ile kurgulanarak okura aktarıldığı ortaya konulacaktır. Araştırmada kıyametin kopacağı yıl olduğu iddia edilen 2012'de yayınlanan Hürriyet, Habertürk ve Milliyet gazetelerinin internet sitelerindeki haber metinlerinin tamamı incelenmiştir. Ancak makalenin sınırlılığı göz önünde bulundurularak burada 18 adet habere yer verilmiştir. Tüm haberlerin analizine ilişkin bulgular sonuç kısmında aktarılmıştır.
Samsun’da Sinema Mekanları Üzerine Bir Sözlü Tarih Çalışması
Authors: GÖKMEN Esma
Published: January 2019

Sinema mekanları
basit birer mekan olmanın ötesinde toplumların kültürel geçmişlerinin inşasında
önemli bir yeri olan mekanlardır. Toplumların yaşam biçimlerine, geleneklerine,
göreneklerine, alışkanlıklarına dair ipuçları veren sinema deneyimlerinin bu
bağlamda ele alınarak incelenmesi, aslında toplumların geçmişten bugüne nasıl
evrildiklerini göstermesi açısından da önemlidir. Sinema mekanları bireylerin
eğlenme ve sosyalleşme ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan kamusal birer alandır ve bu
mekanlar toplumların kültürel yaşantısının temel parçalarından birini
oluşturur. Kültürün mekanlar dolayımı ile varolduğu düşünüldüğünde, sinema
mekanlarının toplumun kültürel izlerini taşıyan mekanlar olarak önemi
anlaşılabilir. Mekanlara bakmak, kültüre ve oradan da topluma bakmak demektir. Bu
çalışmada Samsun örneği üzerinde, sinema mekanlarının geçmişe ait izlerine
bireylerin anıları dolayımı ile ulaşılmaya çalışılmış, böylece önemli bir
kültürel mekan, bireylerin belleğine başvurularak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada 1960’lı
ve 70’li yıllarda sinema mekanlarının nasıl ve ne şekilde kullanıldığı, filmler
ve filmlerdeki karakterlerin nasıl izlendiği ve alımlandığı, sinema
deneyimlerinin bireylerin gündelik yaşam biçimlerini ve sosyalleşmelerini ne
yönde etkilediği irdelenmiş, buradan hareketle o yıllara ait çok önemli verilere
ulaşılmıştır. Türkiye’de sinema mekanlarını kültürel ve sosyolojik yönleri ile
irdeleyen sözlü tarih çalışmalarının da yeterli sayıda olmadığı görülmüştür. Sinema,
mekan, film kültürü, izleme ve sosyalleşme biçimleri, kadın-erkek ilişkileri,
gerçek ve hayal dünyasına dair paradokslar ve ritüelleriyle kapsamlı bir
çalışma alanıdır. Toplumların sosyolojik ve kültürel izlerine ulaşmak açısından
etkili bir yöntem olan sözlü tarih yöntemi çalışmada bu bağlamda değerlendirilmiştir.
5 kişinin geçmiş sinema mekanı deneyimlerinin irdelendiği bu çalışma, bize

Determination of the best interpolation method in estimating the concen-tration of environmental air pollutants in Tehran city in 2015
Authors: Eslami Akbar , Ghasemi Seyed Mehdi
Published: January 2019

Introduction: Air pollution is one of the important issues in developing coun-tries, due to increased population and industrialization. In this research, the spatial distribution of ambient air concentration such as CO, NO2, SO2, PM2.5, PM10, O3 and Air quality Index (AQI) in Tehran city in 2015 were evaluated using different deterministic ( inverse distance weighted, local polynomial, global polynomial, radial basis functions) and geostatistical (Kriging, Cokrig-ing) methods.
 
Materials and methods: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Error (ME) using cross-evaluation methods were used to control the accuracy of the interpolation. To find the secondary variables in the cokriging method, the Pearson coefficient of each pollutant was calculated with another pollutant.
 
Results: The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that all data followed normal distribution. Also the results indicated that in most cases, geostatistical meth-ods were the best methods to estimate ambient air concentration. Finally, after selecting the best interpolation method, the zoning map of the pollutant was drawn with ArcGIS.
 
Conclusion: The results of 71 methods showed that in most cases, the geosta-tistical method is better than the deterministic method
Preparing emission factors of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydro-carbons and nitrogen oxides for cigarette
Authors: Talaiekhozani Amirreza , Amani Ali Mohammad
Published: January 2019

Introduction: Thousandths dangerous chemicals are found in cigarette smoke. Each day millions cigarettes are consumed and its smoke is emitted in the atmosphere. Although several studies have been carried out on ciga-rette smoke, there is no reliable emission factor for pollutants emitted from burning cigarette. The aim of this study is to prepare four emission factors to estimate amount of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides per each cigarette.
 
Materials and methods: In this study a set of experiments was designed to achieve this aim. Different brands of cigarettes were prepared and then they was burned by a vacuum pump. Their cigarettes smoke was analyzed by a gas analyzer to find the concentration of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in the cigarettes smoke. Next, the average emission factor for complete burning of a cigarette was calculated.
 
Results: High amount of pollutants could be found in cigarette smoke. The results revealed that 0.01 mg of hydrocarbons, 0.13 mg of carbon monoxide, 0.5 mg of carbon dioxide and 0.01 mg of nitrogen oxides are emitted during complete burning of each cigarette.
 
Conclusion: If the number of consumed cigarettes was available, these emis-sion factors can be used to understand the share of cigarette smoke in air pol-lution of large cities to understand whether cigarette consumption is effective on air pollution.
The Relationship between Nutrient-Rich Foods (NRF) Index as A Measure of Diet Quality and Malnutrition in Children
Authors: Khankan Jollanar , Jazayeri Shima , Shidfar Farzad , Sajadi Hezaveh Zohreh , Fatemeh Hosseini Agha , Vafa Mohammadreza
Published: January 2019

Background: The assessment of pediatric diet quality is of high interest because food habits that develop in childhood can predict adult diet-related disease. The aim of this study was to examine the association between the Nutrient-Rich Foods (NRF) index score and weight and height status. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in primary schools of Tehran, and the NRF9.3 algorithms were used to estimate the nutrient density of the diet of 400 girls, aged 6.5-8.4 years. Dietary data were collected using a 168-item food frequency questionnaire of foods consumed over the past month. Height and weight were measured, and height for age, body mass index (BMI) for age, and weight for age were classified using the World Health Organization's child growth standard Z-scores. Linear regression was used to examine the association between the quintiles of NRF index score and weight for age, height for age, and BMI for age. Results: Liquid oil (P < 0.001), legume (P = 0.037), meat products (P = 0.005), and fruit (P < 0.001) were consumed in higher amounts significantly in the fifth quintile, while sugar & sweet sauce (P < 0.001), snacks (P = 0.002), fats, oil and savoury sauce (P = 0.002) were consumed in lower amounts significantly. A significant relationship between the NRF9.3 index and height for age (P = 0.039) was found, however, it did not follow a trend. The NRF9.3, NR9, and LIM3 scores were unrelated to weight status in childhood. Conclusion: There was no significant association between the NRF9.3 index score and malnutrition in girls, except for height for age. Bias in reporting the dietary intake or defects in the NRF index formula might be the reason for this insignificant result. Prospective studies can better detect the existence of such a relationship.

En base a la función integradora de las sociedades y la estructuración del orden iniciamos un diálogo a partir de la óptica del observador con los sistemas autorrefereciales de Niklas Luhmann y con las perspectivas neofuncionalistas y post-estructuralistas. Como conclusiones proponemos los lineamientos de un proceso metodológico basado en supuestos conceptuales sistémico-constructivistas que contribuya a clarificar las observaciones.
AS PLANTAS E A QUALIDADE DE VIDA HUMANA
Authors: Pereira Júnior Alfredo
Published: January 2019

Para se avaliar o papel das plantas na qualidade de vida humana, é preciso entender os tipos de interação que ocorrem entre humanos e plantas , no processo perceptivo e na ação adaptativa. Uma explicação a respeito da negligência frente ao papel das plantas (a “cegueira botânica”) pode ser encontrada no processo de evolução humana: com a emergência da linguagem verbal, tornando-se meio privilegiado de relação social, nossa interação com a natureza deixa de ser presencial (ou seja, deixa de ser uma presença, no sentido de Goethe), e passa a ser mediada por representações. Pode-se então identificar um “esquecimento do Ser” das plantas, no sentido de Heidegger; porém, este filósofo, embora próximo de Goethe, atribuía um papel central à linguagem (não a tecnocientífica, mas a poética) na manifestação do Ser. Tendo em vista que no sistema capitalista nossa interação com a natureza é balizada pelos valores de troca, e não por valores de uso (ou seja, uma efetiva qualidade de vida), propõe-se a construção de um novo modelo filosófico da interação Homem-Plantas, a ser estendido para as diversas ciências humanas, em particular para a Economia Política.

Movement and physical activity are at the center of physical education and the availability of adequate facilities is necessary for the success of learning activities. The limited availability of facilities can hinder physical education classes from running effectively and as expected. A physical education learning strategy is needed to overcome difficulties due to limited physical education facilities. This research is qualitative based on a case study. The instruments used in this research are observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The data is analyzed descriptively. The research shows that the teaching and learning strategies used to overcome limited physical education facilities can include the modification of teaching materials to suit the available facilities, modification of the facilities to suit the teaching materials, or adjusting the available time allocation for the class.

Recently, microalgae are used in sectors such as agriculture, food, cosmetics, animal feed, energy. Raceways are used for the most common open systems for high density cultivation when tubular photobioreactors are used for closed systems. In two decades, there have been significant developments in different photobioreactor designs for commercial scale production of alternative species in the production of commercial microalgae. There is no risk of contamination as a result of controlled cultivation in tubular photobioreactors. This allows intensive and pure cultivation.In this study, 75 x 69 mm acrylic pipes were used for the tubular photobioreactor. Each flow path is set to 2 m. By using a 40 liter closed-loop unit while the total volume of acrylic pipes is 60 liters, total volume is designed as 100 lt. In this photobioreactor designed and prototyped, suitable conditions were established for the cultivation of different microalgae strains. The tubular photobioreactor is made mobile and functional. In this photobioreactor, pH, optical density, biomass values are controlled.As a result, a mobile and functional photobioreactor has been designed to enable the cultivation of different microalgae strains for different sectors for microalgae growing. This photobioreactor is suitable for continuous, semi-continuous and continuous production.
ABOUT EXISTENCE: LEWIS R. GORDON ON HUMAN’S SUBJECTIVITY, INTER-SUBJECTIVE AFFILIATION AND THE RELATIONALITY OF KNOWLEDGE
Authors: Beilei Li
Published: January 2019

In his investigations of the existence of being human and Africana existence, Lewis R. Gordon devotes much attention to human subjectivity, inter-subjective affiliation and the relationality of knowledge. The above three crucial issues involve such important philosophical and cultural problems as the relation among human beings’ existence-in-the-world, cognition as subject, and their inter-subjective affiliation, revealing ties between human existence and the relationality of knowledge. Based on the Africana situation of existence, Gordon integrates Africana philosophy and his interpretation of Chinese philosophy in his reflection of the two crucial issues. He has listed such Chinese thinkers Lu Xun, Wang Yangming, Xiong Shili, Wang Ji, etc. as existentialists in the world. His philosophy of existence embodies an interracial and cross-cultural vision, inspiring us to further understand the connection and resonance of Africana philosophy and Chinese philosophy in illuminating the existence of humanity, including the spirit of cultural criticism that “seek[s] truth and critical thought,” the dialectical methodology of cognition, and the stress on individuals’ relations with other individuals and the world in which they live. Focusing on Gordon’s thought on human subjectivity, inter-subjective affiliation and the relationality of knowledge, this article presents an exploration of the connotations of Gordon’s Africana philosophy of existence and its significances for human understanding.
EDUCATING HUMANS: EMBRACING VULNERABILITY AND RESISTING DECADENCE
Authors: Sesanker Colena
Published: January 2019

Césaire called a civilization incapable of solving the problems it creates a decadent civilization and Gordon, in his Disciplinary Decadence, demonstrates the decadence of modern disciplines of knowledge production.  In their insistence on completeness, anything outside of those totalizing systems are, by definition, problems.  This creates problem phenomena: aspects of reality that are therefore not properly understood as reality.  Gordon demonstrates that, in order to dismantle the systems of justification that produce intractable problems by denying reality, it is not enough to simply change the content of our education – we must also change the methodology that produces a warped view of reality that cuts us off from all social reality, including the social aspects of ourselves. Gordon’s diagnosis of disciplinary decadence has implications for not just what we teach, not just who teaches but, more fundamentally, how we must teach and how we must learn, in order to facilitate liberation.
Keywords: decadence; pedagogy; maturity; embodiment; vulnerability.
INTRODUCTORY NOTES ON "AFRICANA PHILOSOPHY" AND LEWIS GORDON'S POSTCOLONIAL HUMANISM
Authors: Faustino Deivison Mendes
Published: January 2019

Can humanism be post-colonial? What is Africana Philosophy? Who is Lewis Gordon? This paper presents some typical elements of the Jamaican philosopher Lewis Gordon’s thought and relates it to the field of Africana Philosophy. For this purpose, it seeks to delineate its theoretical influences and the usage of concepts, such as theodicy, bad faith and reason to understand anti-black racism. In this sense, the following argument pivots on Lewis Gordon’s singular contribution to different areas of study, especially political philosophy, social sciences and the humanities.
Keywords: Lewis Gordon; Africana Philosophy; Post-colonial Humanism; Existential Phenomenology.
RÉFLEXION SUR LA LITTÉRATURE FRANCOPHONE ET L’EXISTENCE NOIRE EN FRANCE À TRAVERS LA PENSÉE DE LEWIS GORDON
Authors: Etoke Nathalie
Published: January 2019

As a French-speaking black woman, the cultural and political circumstances in which I grew up shaped how I view the world. Prior to my arrival in the United States of America, I had never heard of Africana philosophy. My academic training in Francophone literary studies restricted my research to one discipline. In this article, I will discuss how Lewis Gordon’s intellectual contribution positively affected my scholarship. He gave me the critical-thinking tools that changed the way I look at the world, while inspiring me to work on black existentialism, decolonizing knowledge and challenging disciplinary decadence.

(1) Background: Premature infants require mothers’ milk fortification to meet nutrition needs, but breast milk composition may be variable leading to a risk of inadequate nutrition. We aimed at determining factors influencing mothers’ milk macronutrients. (2) Methods: Milk samples were analyzed for the first 5 weeks after premature delivery, by infrared spectroscopy. Mothers’ nutritional intake data were obtained during standardized interviews with dieticians then analyzed with reference software. (3) Results: Composition of 367 milk samples from 81 mothers was (Median [range]g/100mL): Carbohydrates 6.8[4.4-7.3], lipids 3.4[1.3-6.4], proteins 1.3[0.1-3.1]. There was a relationship of milk composition with mothers’ carbohydrates intake only (r=0.164; p<.01). Postnatal age was correlated with milk proteins (r=-0.505 p<.001) & carbohydrates (r=+0.202, p<.001). Multiple linear regression analyses showed (coefficient) a relationship between milk proteins r=0.547 and postnatal age (-0.028), carbohydrates intake (+0.449) and the absence of maturation (-0.066); and between milk lipids r=0.295 and carbohydrates intake (+1.279) and smoking (-0.557). Finally, between milk carbohydrates concentration r=0.266 and postnatal age (+0.012) and smoking (-0.167). (4) Conclusions: Variability of mothers’ milk composition is differentially associated for each macronutrient with maternal carbohydrates intake, antenatal steroids, smoking, and postnatal age. Improvement in milk composition could be achieved by modification of these related factors.
