Is there Bias in Alternatives to Standardized Tests? An Investigation into Content Differences in Letters of Recommendation
Authors: Dalal Dev K. , Randall Jason , Cheung Ho Kwan , Gorman Brandon , Roch Sylvia G. , Williams Kevin J.
Published: December 2021

Individuals concerned with subgroup differences on standardized tests suggest replacing these tests with holistic evaluations of unstructured application materials, such as letters of recommendation (LORs), which they posit show less bias. We empirically investigate this proposition that LORs are bias-free, and argue that LORs might actually invite systematic, race and gender subgroup differences in the content and evaluation of LORs. We text analyzed over 37,000 LORs submitted on behalf of over 10,000 graduate school applicants. Results showed that LOR content does differ across applicants. Furthermore, we see some systematic gender, race, and gender-race intersection differences in LOR content. Content of LORs also systematically differed between degree programs (S.T.E.M. vs. non-S.T.E.M.) and degree sought (doctoral vs. masters). Finally, LOR content alone did not predict an appreciable amount of variance in offers of admission (the first barrier to increasing diversity and inclusion in graduate programs). Our results, combined with past research on LOR content bias, highlight concerns that LORs can be biased against marginalized groups. We conclude with suggestions for reducing potential bias in LOR and for increasing diversity in graduate programs.
Prejudice, Bigotry, and Support for Compensatory Interventions to Address Black-White Inequalities: Evidence from the General Social Survey, 2006-2020
Authors: Morgan Stephen L.
Published: December 2021

The General Social Survey (GSS) shows that many self-identified white adults continue to hold racial attitudes that can be regarded, collectively, as a persistent social problem. Similar to findings from the analysis of electoral surveys, the GSS also shows that these racial attitudes have more strongly predicted political behavior since 2012. However, and in contrast to group-identity interpretations of these patterns, the increase in predictive power since 2012 is attributable to a positive development: above and beyond the effects of cohort replacement, support for compensatory interventions to address black-white inequalities has increased substantially, while prejudice and bigotry have decreased slightly. Because these changes have been larger on the political left than on the political right, the attitudes have gained in overall predictive power.
Data protection in post-Brexit Britain: A response to the Government of the United Kingdom’s public consultation on reforms to the data protection regime (“Data: A new direction”)
Authors: Damen Wes W.P. , Harkens Adam , Li Wenlong , Ahmed-Rengers Emma , Yeung Karen
Published: December 2021

Ever since the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, the UK government has made it clear that they see opportunities for enacting new legislation. One of these opportunities is to legislate how new technologies are to be used, and how citizens’ personal data is handled where it is used as a necessary component of such technologies. On September 10th 2021, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) launched its public consultation for proposed reforms to the UK’s data protection regime. We believe that it is appropriate that careful eyes are kept on the UK’s data protection regime in order to ensure that existing legal frameworks are appropriately future proofed, especially when we consider that the overall UK regulatory environment is in-flux, as UK law and policy begins to diverge from that of the European Union. This appropriate future proofing of a new data protection laws includes both the public and private sector use of technologies requiring the processing of high-volumes of personal data – in many cases making use of machine learning techniques – that can expose data subjects to considerable harms to their fundamental rights and personal interests. In this response we set out some of the concerns we are having about this legislative proposal, and why a change of course is called for.
LIDERAZGO ENFERMERO
Authors: Gómez del Pulgar García-Madrid Mercedes
Published: December 2021

El liderazgo ha estado presente en las civilizaciones de todas las épocas, y tanto las organizaciones como la sociedad en su conjunto son conscientes de la importancia de su papel (1), este concepto ya no es descrito únicamente como una característica individual, sino como una dinámica global y compleja (2). En definitiva, es un fenómeno poliédrico, producto de la interacción entre diversos factores (personales, interpersonales y contextuales) (1).
 
Durante el siglo pasado, la investigación sobre liderazgo se focalizó en su función para desarrollar y poner en práctica la innovación (3). Actualmente se observa un interés creciente por el liderazgo y su desarrollo entre los profesionales sanitarios, con especial énfasis en formas de liderazgo de equipo, participativo, el coaching y el liderazgo auténtico (1). Se han publicado infinidad de aproximaciones, enfoques y definiciones de liderazgo “hay tantas definiciones del concepto de líder como personas han intentado definirlo” (4). De todos los enfoques y definiciones que se pueden encontrar en la literatura es interesante hacer referencia al enfoque que realiza Bass (5) sobre liderazgo transformacional, diferenciándolo del liderazgo transaccional.
 
El liderazgo transaccional es ese estilo de liderazgo en el que existe un intercambio entre el líder y sus seguidores, donde estos reciben un valor a cambio de su trabajo, es decir existe una relación consto-beneficio. El liderazgo transformacional, en contraposición, es aquel que motiva a las personas a hacer más de lo que ellas mismas esperan y como consecuencia, se producen cambios en los grupos, en las organizaciones y en la sociedad, que representan a su vez un beneficio colectivo, es decir, el liderazgo supone un compromiso con el logro de la misión de una organización, dejando de lado los intereses personales y orientarse a cumplir los objetivos colectivos. Esta visión del liderazgo tiene relación con las necesidades humanas, y específicamente con las que se ubican en el dominio del crecimiento personal, autoestima y autorrealización.

Soil microbial biomass in cropland and forest ecosystem in eastern Nepal
Authors: Mandal T.N.
Published: December 2021

Soil microbial biomass carbon (MB-C) and nitrogen (MB-N) were estimated in some man-made cropland ecosystems and Sal forest natural ecosystem in eastern Nepal. In these cropping systems MB-C ranged between 244 µg g-1 and 425 µg g-1 soil, minimum in tea cultivation and maximum in uncultivated paddy field. MB –N ranged from 24.7 µg g-1 to 43.2 µg g-1 soil, which was minimum in paddy field at mature crop stage and maximum in uncultivated paddy field. Towards natural ecosystem five landslide damaged sites selected in Sal forest ecosystem were 1 yr., 4yr., 15yr., 40yr., and 58-year old. Under these sites MB-C was minimum (132μg g-1) in 1-yr old site and maximum (638 µg g-1) in 58- yr old site. Similarly, MB-N was also minimum (14 µg g-1) in 1-yr and maximum (55 µg g-1) in 58- yr old site. In comparison to undisturbed mature Sal forest 58 year old site showed 82 % recovery in soil microbial biomass which indicates the re-establishment of soil nutrients and restitution of nutrients cycling.

Due to the occurrence of the second genotype of African Swine Fever (ASF) virus in Europe, the situation today causes a threat to the species through the use of sanitary shooting of wild boars in the areas of disease occurrence, and as a consequence their depopulation. The purpose of the study is to assess EU and Polish legal regulations relating to the protection, preservation of diversity and management of wild game populations and combating of infectious animal diseases, which are subject to the obligation to combat. The researchers’ question in this paper concerns the mutual relations of these legal regulations and legal instruments for the valuable protection of the biosphere in hunting in connection with the occurrence of the disease. The subject of careful analysis was the search for manifestations of the implementation of the legal protection of wild game as a nationwide good, particularly relating to one category of wild game – wild boars, in a situation of epizootic danger.

In the article, the author analyzes, from the perspective of the limits of the freedom of speech, one of the controversial forms of expression on the permissibility of abortion. This form of expression consists of presentation in public spaces, large-format photographs containing images of bloody dead human fetuses. Banners containing these types of photographs are presented without any restrictions, which means that anyone, including children, can view them. For this text, common court judgements in which the courts held that this form of expression is not protected by freedom of speech were collected and analyzed. The analysis of the judgments of common courts was complemented by reference to the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights.

The autonomous status of the Åland Islands and the system of its self-government against Finland’s territorial and administrative structure constitute a fascinating research area in the field of constitutional law and political systems. Such research makes it possible to determine which principles of the system of the division into territorial units possessing autonomous status within the territorial structure of the state and its self-government should be introduced at the legal, constitutional and statutory level in order to ensure the population inhabiting it with a sufficient level of separateness and independence, protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, and at the same time guarantee the territorial integrity of the state. The study also makes it possible to determine which legal mechanisms and instruments of the organization and functioning of autonomous regions, distinguished by some specific feature, need to be applied in order for the system of such a unit to be effective in the performance of public tasks of their own and those commissioned by state authorities by self-government bodies of this region and to enable the self-government of the region serving its citizens at its best. In the case of Finland, it is of great importance for the protection of fundamental human and civil rights and freedoms, especially for ethnically and culturally separate social groups. The aim of this study is the legal analysis of the autonomous status and the local government system of the Åland Islands, applied and currently functioning in Finland, and its subject is an exegesis of the norms concerning the subject matter under the study, contained in the Fundamental Law of 1999 being in force in Finland and the relevant statutory regulations, as well as practices of the functioning of this region within the state from the perspective of its division into other basic units and the system of local government.

Conversing with Humans and Objects: On Repetition and the Curative Power in Animation Making
Authors: Budach Gabriele , Efremov Dimitri , Loghin Daniela , Sharoyan Gohar
Published: December 2021

Cet article explore ce qui se passe quand des êtres humains, des objets et de la technologie numérique collaborent dans la création d’un court métrage d’animation image par image. Il examine la façon dont l’animation créée à partir d’un processus mécanique extrêmement répétitif s’entrelace avec le langage, la communication et l’apprentissage, et la façon dont elle peut affecter notre réceptivité et notre disposition à communiquer. L’article montre comment la répétition peut repousser les concepts mentaux et les idéologies linguistiques qui peuvent entraver la communication et l’apprentissage d’une langue. En revanche, l’action répétitive peut créer un espace affectif positif, donnant l’accès à des ressources cachées et à un savoir inconscient. Rendu possible par un flux affectif émergeant de toutes les parties participantes – humaines et non-humaines –, un exercice possiblement fastidieux peut être transformé en tâche libératrice. Les co-auteurs du document puisent dans l’expérience autoethnographique, les méthodes collaboratives et la pensée inspirée par la théorie néo-matérialiste. Leurs travaux de recherche montrent que la création d’animation peut perturber des politiques éducationnelles existantes et instaurer une pratique pédagogique plus équitable en se fondant sur des agencements humains-objets et sur leur puissance pour stimuler un apprentissage et des communications plus qu’humains.
Numerical energy and exergy analysis of cooling systems: low GWP alternative refrigerants (R450A and R1234ze) to R134a

Published: December 2021

The use of new generation refrigerants in heating and cooling systems operating according to vapor compression cycles and the preference of renewable energy sources is very important to reduce the negative effects on the environment. Here, the energy and exergy performance of refrigerant R450A and R1234ze, which are alternatives to R134a, were theoretically examined. Energy and exergy analysis of cooling system were performed under the same working conditions (source temperature is between -15 and 15 oC, and heat sink temperature is constant 30 oC). The COP values of R134a, R1234ze, and R450A were 2.00, 1.98 and 1.97, respectively, while the heat source temperature was -15 oC. The heat source temperature was 15 oC, the COP values of R134a, R1234ze, and R450A were 4.82, 4.83 and 4.79, respectively. Under the given operating conditions, the highest total exergy destruction occurred at R134a, while the lowest total Exergy destruction occurred at R1234ze. The refrigerant with the highest and lowest cooling capacity was R134a and R1234ze. According to the results obtained from the analysis, it was concluded that R450A and R1234ze can be used instead of R134a.

ON THE ESSENCE OF THE CRISIS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Zhampeisovа K.
Published: December 2021

In this work, the problem of the crisis of higher education in the world educational process is actualized. The significance of this problem demanded from the author a comprehensive analysis of the literature, which reveals the essence of the phenomenon under study. The paper speaks of the inappropriateness of the representation of the higher education system as being in deep crisis. The characteristic features of modern society are revealed, which testify to the opposite.

The role of higher education is presented as the main source of the development of intelligence, the intellectual potential of a person, outside of which scientific and technological progress would be impossible. It is argued that there is no crisis in the higher education system, there are permanently arising contradictions (the driving forces of the development of nature, society and man) that require their systemic resolution. The need to improve the psychological, pedagogical and methodological culture of a teacher of higher education as significant components in the structure of their personality is noted

Evaluation of new breeding samples of early maturing hybrids of the in FSBSI ARRSI of corn 2020 was carried out on an experimental plot with gray forest heavy loamy soils. Meteorological conditions were characterized by an extremely uneven supply of heat and precipitation during the growing season. Of the earliest hybrids, RM 77/18 was isolated with the speed of recoil of moisture by the grain during ripening of 0.88% per day versus 0.64% for the Kubansky 101 standard, as a source of a valuable economic trait. The universal hybrid RM 139/18 surpassed the Nur standard in grain productivity by 10.6%, moisture-yielding speed (1.12% versus 1.02% per day for Nur) and starch content in the grain (57.7% versus 54.6% for Nur). Among the mid-early samples for silage, RM 151/18 stood out: it surpassed the Nur standard in dry matter productivity by 10.8%, output per hectare of crude protein by 35%, sugars - by 15% and metabolizable energy - by 10.6%. Both hybrids are recommended for transfer to State Variety Trials. Analyzed and noted the unreliability of the generally accepted criteria for the preliminary assessment of the early maturity of new maize hybrids in the northern zone of the Middle Volga region.

Authors: Godoy Ana María , Giménez Vivian , Martínez de Cuéllar Celia , Meza Ricardo , Benegas Sara , Carpinelli María Mercedes , Sanabria Diana
Published: December 2021

Introducción: Las deficiencias predominantes de anticuerpos (DPA) cursan con disminución de niveles séricos de inmunoglobulinas (hipogammaglobulinemia), infecciones recurrentes y se ha reportado su asociación con las alergias. La información sobre su frecuencia en niños alérgicos es limitada y en Paraguay no existen datos al respecto. Objetivo: Detectar DPA y establecer su frecuencia en pacientes pediátricos con enfermedades alérgicas atendidos en un hospital de referencia del país. Materiales y métodos: Fueron evaluados 64 pacientes pediátricos (1 a 17 años de edad) con diagnóstico de alergia, atendidos en la Unidad Pediátrica Ambulatoria-Especialidad Asma, Alergia e Inmunología del Hospital de Clínicas (periodo 2018-2019). Se midieron los niveles séricos de IgA, IgG e IgM por el método de inmunodifusión radial y se aplicaron criterios de diagnóstico fenotípico a los casos de hipogammaglobulinemia para definir la DPA. Resultados: La mediana de edad fue de 5 años (RIQ: 2 - 8), con predominio del sexo masculino (58%). Las alergias más frecuentes fueron asma (38%) y rinitis (34%), además predominaron las infecciones respiratorias recurrentes (80%). La frecuencia de DPA fue de 17% (11/64), detectándose 6 casos de deficiencia de inmunoglobulina A, 4 deficiencias aisladas de IgG y una inmunodeficiencia común variable. No se observaron diferencias significativas al comparar características clínico-demográficas entre pacientes alérgicos con y sin DPA. Conclusiones: La frecuencia de DPA fue elevada, por lo que se sugiere considerar el estudio de inmunoglobulinas séricas en pacientes pediátricos con enfermedades alérgicas para una detección y tratamiento oportunos.

Benedykta XVI niektóre argumenty za przyszłością teologii

Published: December 2021

Autor artykułu ukazuje argumenty, które przytacza Benedykt XVI w swoich przemó- wieniach za tym, że teologia ma przyszłość. Przyszłość teologii związana jest z przyszłością wiary, gdyż wiara potrzebuje teologii, a teologia wiary.

Teologia jako pełnoprawna nauka pośród innych nauk wskazuje, że prawda naukowa uczestniczy w Prawdzie boskiej, pochodzi z tego samego źródła, tj. z Logosu, którego dziełem jest stworzenie. Kiedy w dzisiejszych czasach zaprzestaje się poszukiwania prawdy lub się z nią nie liczy, to teologia odkrywa wynikające stąd zagrożenia dla kultury europejskiej.

THE URGENCY OF FATWA IN THE LAW OF SHARIA ECONOMICS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Renie Elsy
Published: December 2021

Fatwas of the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulama Council (DSN-MUI), in the field of sharia economics, has filled the legal vacuum related to the economic activities of the people. The increased of activity in the Mu'amalah area which is so fast requires a responsive fatwa. It can be seen from the rapid development of financial products for sharia financial institutions today. The legal strength of a fatwa is non-binding because it is not included in the constitution hierarchy in Indonesia which has caused debate for some people. But, several DSN-MUI fatwa have been transformed into part of national law, such as constitution No. 21 of 2008 concerning Banking, and some of which have also been absorbed into Bank Indonesia regulations, Syari'ah Financial Services Authority Regulation (OJK). This paper tries to analyze the role of fatwas in filling the legal vacuum in the development of the shari'ah economy in Indonesia and how the fatwas of the DSN-MUI can be transformed into national law. The author concludes that the role of DSN-MUI as the only institution that issued a fatwa related to the activities of shari'ah financial institutions in Indonesia is very important in the area of national legal politics.

Este trabalho trata da distribuição batimétrica de recursos pesqueiros no talude continental do sudeste do Brasil, entre as latitudes 23' - 26' S, com base nos dados das pescarias de linheiros (1986 - 1995), em profundidades de 201 - 650 m. As principais espécies explotadas foram as seguintes, com as correspondentes participações no total das capturas: batata, Lopholatilus vilarii Ribeiro (59,2%); namorado, Pseudopercis numida Ribeiro (20,9%); e cherne, Epinephelus niveatus (Valenciennes) (9,9%). A produção de pescado e o esforço de pesca tenderam a decrescer com o aumento da profundidade dos pesqueiros, o oposto acontecendo com a abundância relativa (CPUE), pelo menos até a isóbata de 550 metros. No conjunto das pescarias, a média da CPUE correspondeu a 0,8 kg/anzol-dia. As três espécies principais forampescadas em profundidades de até 650 metros. As maiores capturas do batata ocorreram entre 201 - 300 m de profundidade e a CPUE tendeu a crescer com o aumento da fundura dos pesqueiros - seu valor médio foi 0,5 kg/anzol-dia. As maiores capturas do namorado e do cherne  ocorreram entre 201 - 250 m de profundidade e as CPUEs médias foram 0,2 e 0,1 kg/anzol-dia, respectivamente. Apenas para o batata os dados sugerem migração para águas mais profundas, a qual pode ocorrer durante o inverno.

Este trabalho trata das características, operacionalidade e produção da frota industrial de camaroneiros do estado do Rio de Janeiro (Brasil), nos anos de 1993 – 1997. As pescarias são dirigidas para as capturas do camarão-rosa = Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817) + Farfantepenaeus paulensis (Pérez Farfante, 1967). A frota é constituída por barcos de aço e de madeira, com grande variação da maior parte de suas características, tendo idade avançada e pouca renovação. As pescarias duram 8 – 9 meses por ano, por causa do defeso, sendo mais importantes nos meses de julho – outubro. A variação do tempo anual de operação dos barcos se reflete nas capturas do camarãorosa, que alcança média pouco superior a 3,8 t/ano, quando os barcos realizam 181 – 210 dias de pesca/ano. A tendência decrescente da produção do camarão-rosa, nos sucessivos anos, decorre da queda de produtividade das pescarias.

Este trabalho trata das capturas da cavalinha, Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Brasil), realizadas por traineiras, durante as pescarias da sardinha-verdadeira, Sardinella brasiliensis (Steindachner, 1879), nos anos de 1993-1997, espécies que são encontradas nos mesmos cardumes. As pescarias da cavalinha têm mais importância nos meses de março a agosto, com maiores capturas no outono (cerca de 50% da produção anual). A produtividade das pescarias da cavalinha decresce ao longo do ano, com o máximo de 0,8 t/lance no verão. Em geral, a produção da cavalinha não ultrapassa os 10% daquela que corresponde à sardinha-verdadeira. Os principais pesqueiros da cavalinha estão situados na baía da Ilha Grande e adjacências, que contribuem com 84% da produção anual da espécie no Estado. Em tais pesqueiros, mais de 90% das capturas da cavalinha se realizam entre o verão e o inverno, quando também são mais elevados os índices de produtividade. A cavalinha é capturada desde superfície até 60 m de profundidade, concentrando-se entre 11 – 40 m, com maior frequência na faixa de 21 – 30 m de profundidade.

Published: December 2021

A produção de petróleo e gás é realizada com grande intensidade na Bacia de Campos, litoral norte do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, área em que ocorrem pescarias artesanais e industriais de importantes recursos pesqueiros regionais: sardinha-verdadeira, Sardinella brasiliensis; camarão-rosa, Farfantepenaeus spp.; bonito-de-barriga-listrada, Katsuwonus pelamis; badejo, Mycteroperca bonaci; batata, Lopholatilus villarii; cherne, Epinephelus niveatus; garoupa, Epinephelus marginatus; namorado, Pseudopercis numida; e peixes demersais da família Sciaenidae. Este trabalho objetiva avaliar o impacto da explotação de petróleo sobre a abundância dessas espécies no entorno da Bacia de Campos. Os resultados são os seguintes: (a) a explotação petrolífera não tem interferência direta com as pescarias da sardinha-verdadeira e do camarão-rosa; (b) a explotação petrolífera tem interferência direta com as pescarias dos peixes de linha, bonito–de-barriga-listrada e peixes demersais; (c) a interação entre as duas atividades é benéfi ca por causa da atração de peixes decorrente das estruturas metálicas fl utuantes das plataformas e do aumento de nutrientes aportados às águas superfi ciais; (d) esses benefícios se anulam pela imposição de uma zona de exclusão para as operações das frotas de linheiros, boniteiros e arrasteiros justamente em área sob a infl uência da ressurgência de Cabo Frio.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar a idade e crescimento do robalo-fl echa, Centropomus undecimalis, e do robalo-peva, Centropomus parallelus, no Sudeste do Brasil. Os dados básicos consistem de 264 indivíduos desembarcados em Niterói (Rio de Janeiro), com comprimento total nas faixas de 33,1–78,9 cm e 29,5–57,3 cm, respectivamente, dos quais foram retiradas escamas para a identifi cação dos anéis etários e medição das zonas de crescimento, no período de junho de 1999 a junho de 2000. Além dos parâmetros de idade e crescimento, o coefi ciente de mortalidade natural (M) foi também estimado para compor a razão M/K. Análises estatísticas foram empregadas para se comparar o padrão de crescimento entre as duas espécies (teste t) e a signifi cância do incremento marginal mensal (testes H, de Kruskal-Wallis e Q, de Dunn). Os resultados obtidos estão resumidos nos seguintes itens: (a) a “data de aniversário” ocorre nos períodos mensais de janeiro-março (robalo-fl echa) e junho-agosto (robalo-peva); (b) os parâmetros de idade e crescimento estimados para o robalo-fl echa foram: L∞ = 101, 1 cm; W∞ = 11,5 kg; K = 0,112; t0 = - 2,59 anos; tmax = 26,7 anos; φ’ = 3,058; (c) os parâmetros de idade e crescimento estimados para o robalo-peva foram: L∞ = 67,9; W∞ = 3,6 kg; K = 0,187; t0 = - 2,48 anos; tmax = 16,0 anos; φ’ = 2,936; (d) o coefi ciente de mortalidade natural foi estimado em M = 0,259 (C. undecimalis) e M = 0,406 (C. parallelus), com os respectivos valores de M/K = 2,312 e M/K = 2,171; (e) os valores do coefi ciente de desempenho (φ’) confi rmam a adoção de uma estratégia de crescimento compatível com espécies predadoras de médio porte, do 4º nível trófico.

O olho-de-cão, Priacanthus arenatus, é um peixe carnívoro, estenohialino, de hábitos noturnos que vive em fundos rochosos com profundidades de até 130 m, na região Sudeste do Brasil. Idade e crescimento dessa espécie foram estudados com base na leitura de escamas coletadas em 140 exemplares de ambos os sexos, com comprimento total na faixa de 29,9 – 53,5 cm, no período de junho/1999 a maio/2000. Verifi ca-se periodicidade anual na formação dos anéis etários, com mudança de idade no bimestre setembro-outubro. A escama (S) cresce numa proporção alométrica negativa com o comprimento individual segundo a equação S = 0,016.L0,919 (r = 0,890; P<0,01), com signifi cância estatística do coefi ciente angular (t = 2,023; P<0,05). A intersecão positiva de L/S (a = 5,06) reduz a subestimação dos comprimentos retrocalculados e corrige a alometria negativa. O valor médio dos comprimentos retrocalculados variou de 25,5 cm CT (1º anel etário) a 49,1 cm CT (6º anel etário). A equação de crescimento (cm) é Lt = 66,5 [1 – e – 0,169 ( t + 2,9) ]. O coefi ciente anual de mortalidade natural foi de 0,340. O olho-de-cão tem baixo coefi ciente de crescimento (K = 0,169), e porte mediano (L = 66,5 cm), características que, aliadas a valores medianos do coefi ciente de desempenho, ’ = 2,874, razão M/K = 2,01 e longevidade do estoque na pescaria, tmax = 17,7 anos, o classifi cam como espécie carnívora do 4º nível trófico.
Construction and Simulation of a Planar Transformer Prototype
Authors: Guarín Sebastián , Velarde Sergio , Castaño Edwin , Molina-Cabrera Alexander
Published: December 2021

This paper illustrates the design and building of a planar transformer prototype with a 1:1 transformation ratio for high-frequency applications in power electronics. By using reference literature and considering the ferrite core dimensions, the windings were conceived and exported to Gerber format using PCB design software. The transformer prototype was then assembled and tested under laboratory conditions for frequencies from 800 Hz to 5 MHz, which showed a sinusoidal wave at the transformer output from 1.3 kHz onwards and a better performance starting at 10 kHz, where the loses were significantly reduced and the transformation ratio was closer to the originally designed. As a final step, a finite element method (FEM) análisis was carried out to understand the electromagnetic flux behavior using a 3D Multiphysics simulation software. The 3d building process and details are explained step by step and the resulting magnetic flux density is graphically shown for the core and the windings.
Determination of probabilistic characteristics of random values of estimates of the Lyapunov function when describing a physical process
Authors: Veshkurtsev Yu. M. , Titov D. A.
Published: December 2021

The applied application of the Lyapunov characteristic function is determined by the properties of its estimates. Probabilistic characteristics of estimates of the Lyapunov characteristic function are described for the first time. The probabilistic characteristics of random values of estimates of the Lyapunov function are empirically estimated using statistical methods. The Matlab package has developed a model of a special device for obtaining estimates of the characteristic function by a direct method. A quasi-deterministic signal is fed to the input of the model, the instantaneous values of which are distributed according to the arcsine law, and an array of values of estimates of the Lyapunov function is obtained at the output, which is used to estimate the probabilistic characteristics of these estimates. Statistical estimation was performed by an indirect method. It is established that the values of the estimates of the Lyapunov characteristic function are distributed according to the normal law. The results of the research will be useful in engineering calculations, for example, when detecting message transmission errors in modems with a modulated characteristic function.
