A Dinâmica do Processo Brasileiro de Evolução Social, Política e Econômica
Authors: Reis José de Almeida
Published: November 2020

São naturais e necessárias as pressões e antagonismos no processo de evolução social, dado que elas se fazem sentir por meio de grupos mais ou menos organizados que provocam por suas satisfações a reação de outros grupos, estabelecendo-se uma dinâmica sincrética de reajustamento sempre constante e progressiva. Eis por que, na análise dos grupos se tornam indispensáveis as identificações, as caracterizações e as definições para disciplinar controlar, fiscalizar e dosar as ações, para que no reajustamento não seja desencadeado um processo anormal, destorcido e “perverso” frente ao sentido doutrinário da política de evolução e de desenvolvimento.
Síntese da Formação de Nosso Espírito Municipal

Published: November 2020

Não seria possível estudar-se a atual doutrina municipalista sem uma análise dos antecedentes do que poderíamos chamar da Municipalidade brasileira. Mesmo que a Municipalidade brasileira só começasse a ter existência real com a Lei de 1° de outubro de 1828. Anteriormente a esta data, o Município em nosso País tinha as características administrativas de Portugal. Estávamos em pleno Brasil colonial e sob o império das leis e regulamentos portugueses, que por sua vez tiveram origem nas leis romanas. A Municipalidade brasileira, no início, acumulava as funções administrativas e judiciárias.

Contribuições Parafiscais: Natureza, Classificação e Distinção
Authors: Melo Chagas
Published: November 2020

Embora não se tenha ainda definido rigorosamente o conceito de contribuições parafiscais, o Autor, estribado em valiosas opiniões de renomados técnicos e professores de finanças, procura definir, classificar e distinguir a espécie, terminando por aconselhar o seu enquadramento no orçamento da União, mediante dispositivo legal, a fim de que tais contribuições se revistam da qualidade de verdadeiro tributo. A tese vem ao encontro da opinião de ilustre Ministro do Tribunal de Contas, já publicada na R.S.V. de outubro de 1958; "são incontáveis os malefícios da ruptura causada pela parafiscalidade à unidade e à universalidade do orçamento, bem como ao controle dos dinheiros públicos...”.
O Binômio — Inflação — Desenvolvimento (II)
Authors: Melo Chagas
Published: November 2020

Os múltiplos aspectos da atual conjuntura econômico-financeira do Brasil são estudados, com boa técnica, no presente trabalho. Segundo o autor, foi decisivo, ao desencadeamento da pressão inflacionária, haver deixado, o governo, de selecionar os investimentos e ultrapassado os limites de emissões que poderiam ser considerados benéficos ao desenvolvimento do País. Após analisar a doutrina desenvolvimentista de Keynes e a sua adversa aplicação no Brasil, o autor estuda a receita, representada pela ajuda externa e pelas exportações, insuficiente ao financiamento de nosso desenvolvimento e h cobertura de déficits orçamentários, terminando por recomendar a urgente necessidade de reformulação de financiamento do desenvolvimento econômico do Brasil.
A Classificação Orçamentária
Authors: Júnior José Teixeira Machado
Published: November 2020

É claro que o orçamento, encarado como mero instrumento de controle, como peça do processo contábil, poderia ser constituído de uma simples relação de contas com as respectivas estimativas em termos de dinheiro. Entretanto, o orçamento concebido, elaborado e executado como um real plano de trabalho, que compreenda as diretrizes da administração pública, não comporta semelhante critério de apresentação. Isto, aliás, foi justamente reconhecido pelos técnicos fazendários que, em 1939, prepararam o anteprojeto que se converteria no Decreto-lei n’ 2.416, de 17 de julho de 1940. Nessa peça, formula-se já uma classificação das contas públicas, tendo em vista a preparação dos programas de trabalhos. Ninguém discute mais hoje em dia a necessidade de o orçamento apresentar-se com uma classificação racional e uma estrutura que permitam o conhecimento dos programas governamentais. Daí a importância do assunto — classificação orçamentária — na moderna teoria do orçamento público.
A Remuneração do Trabalho
Authors: Lopes Tomás de vilanova Monteiro
Published: November 2020

A primeira dificuldade a enfrentar no estudo da remuneração do trabalho provém da falta de uniformidade da linguagem usada para designar as instituições em torno das quais aquele problema deve ser equacionado. Denominações tais como; salário, vencimento, remuneração, honorário e ganho são empregados com tal imprecisão que cada pessoa pode sentir-se livre de tomá-las na acepção que bem lhe aprouver. Esse desacordo de terminologia, embora não afete os aspectos práticos dos problemas, pois que os mesmos são hoje tratados em termos rigorosamente objetivos nas leis ou nos convênios entre patrões e empregados, dificulta, entretanto, o estudo sistemático da matéria. Sua origem talvez se encontre no fato de os primitivos conceitos de salário, fixados pela concepção econômica do trabalho, haverem subsistido, com sua feição original no regime da concepção social do trabalho. Os elementos por esta trazido não podendo ser absorvidos naqueles conceitos a eles se justapuseram, criando figuras novas, as quais com o correr do tempo têm crescido em número e importância.
Descentralização Administrativa
Authors: Peters Hans
Published: November 2020

Na República Federal da Alemanha, a descentralização é um dos mais importantes princípios organizacionais da administração pública. Representa tudo aquilo que tende a transferir o poder de regulamentação administrativa das autoridades centrais para outros órgãos. Aplica-se de diferentes maneiras de um "Land” a outro, consoante as condições que prevalecem em cada um deles. Todos os regimes totalitários tendem à centralização. Por outro lado, a democracia tende a uma descentralização tanto de sua admiração Pública como de seu direito administrativo.
Desenvolvimento Nacional e Fortalecimento do Potencial
Authors: Rios José de Almeida
Published: November 2020

Ao findar-se o longo período feudal e começar a influência decisiva da era tecnológica com a intensificação da urbanização, várias modificações sofreu o processo de evolução social. A primeira alteração foi o aumento progressivo da população mundial. A segunda, foi a organização dos grupos profissionais de trabalho concomitante com a intensificação da urbanização. A terceira, foi a queda das oligarquias feudais e nobres provocada justamente pela nova classe que se tornava mais forte pelas duas condições inicialmente enunciadas: a classe burguesa. O quarto acontecimento foram as descobertas geográficas, diversificando as matérias-primas, incorporando novos povos e aumento consequente da capacidade consumidora. Em quinto lugar verificou-se a expansão de consumo de produtos e bens apenas destinados até então a uma minoria privilegiada. Vigoraram durante muito tempo as regalias a favor de certa classe social e que continuaram a existir sob a forma de uma segregação política e social. Com a queda das oligarquias que se utilizavam do Poder para manter suas regalias e vantagens, começou o povo a sentir que, realmente, de sua decisão dependiam muitas das formas e fontes do Poder Político, justamente o que dominava a favor de um grupo as vantagens e os privilégios, inclusive, no processo educacional e cultural.

Em 1910, há quase meio século atrás, houve uma reunião de especialistas de vários países europeus para discutir os problemas relacionados com a melhor maneira de aperfeiçoar a administração de seus países. Foi esta a pequena semente que deu origem ao atual Instituto Internacional de Ciências Administrativas (I.I.C.A.). Não obstante as interrupções causadas por duas guerras, têm sido contínuas as suas atividades, que se desenvolveram de forma espetacular depois da última guerra. Durante a maior parte do tempo de vida do Instituto os seus membros e os temas de discussão eram predominantemente' de origem jurídica, mas nos últimos anos houve uma ampliação de seu campo de visão de maneira que, hoje em dia, os pontos de vista não-jurídicos desempenham um papel pelo menos tão importante quanto os de ordem jurídica. São membros do Instituto, em caráter oficial ou não, representantes de vinte e seis países, abrangendo a maioria dos países do mundo livre.

Depression Screening Tools for Patients with Kidney Failure
Authors: Kondo Karli , Antick Jennifer R. , Ayers Chelsea K. , Kansagara Devan , Chopra Pavan
Published: November 2020

Background and objectives

Patients with kidney failure experience depression at rates higher than the general population. Despite the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ ESRD Quality Incentive Program requirements for routine depression screening for patients with kidney failure, no clear guidance exists.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

For this systematic review, we searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and other databases from inception to June 2020. Two investigators screened all abstracts and full text. We included studies assessing patients with kidney failure and compared a tool to a clinical interview or another validated tool (e.g., Beck Depression Inventory II). We abstracted data related to sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and the area under the curve. We evaluated the risk of bias using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2.

Results

A total of 16 studies evaluated the performance characteristics of depression assessment tools for patients with kidney failure. The Beck Depression Inventory II was by far the best studied. A wide range of thresholds were reported. Shorter tools in the public domain such as the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 and Geriatric Depression Scale 15 (adults over 60) performed well but were not well studied. Short tools such as the Beck Depression Inventory–Fast Screen may be a good option for an initial screen.

Conclusions

There is limited research evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of most screening tools for depression in patients with kidney failure, and existing studies may not be generalizable to US populations. Studies suffer from limitations related to methodology quality and/or reporting. Future research should target widely used, free tools such as the Patient Health Questionnaire 2 and the Patient Health Questionnaire 9.

Authors: V PAVITHRALOCHANI , SANDHIYA D REBECCA , P VIJAY , PARVEEN M MAJITHA
Published: November 2020

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effect of OTAGO exercise and BOSU ball exercise on balance training among geriatric population. Geriatric indicates the elderly people with age group more than 60. Balance is the state of equilibrium; three sensors drive a sense of balance (vision, proprioception, and vestibular). As the age increases, there will be some degenerative changes, the loss of any one of these systems affects balance which may result in falls and increased morbidity. The study focuses on the effectiveness of OTAGO exercise and BOSU ball exercise in elderly people.

Methodology: Thirty subjects were selected and divided into two groups based on selection criteria with age group between 60-70, both male and female, people who scored 35–45 in Berg balance scale (BBS) grading test and four in fall risk assessment questionnaire was included and people with recent fracture and surgery, stroke, parkinson’s disease, psychiatric illness, severe pain, and muscle weakness were excluded from the study. Pre-test was done using BBS as an outcome measure, proceeding with treatment protocol; Group A: received BOSU ball exercise (unilateral heel raise, one leg stand, knee bend, split stance with torso rotation, and marching) for 30 min – each set of exercise was given for 5–8 repetition with rest period of 2 min. Group B received OTAGO exercise (Backward walking, sideways walking, toe walking, sit to stand, and one leg stand) for 30 min – each set of exercise was given for 5–8 repetition with rest period of 2 min. After the cessation of the treatment protocol, post-test was done using the same outcome measure.

Results: Result of the study proves that each group shows p value (p≤0.001); however, Group A (BOSU ball exercise) shows more significant improvement than Group B (OTAGO exercise).

Conclusion: Conclusion of the study shows that both BOSU ball exercise and OTAGO exercise were effective in improving balance among elderly people. However, BOSU ball exercise was better than OTAGO exercise in improving balance among elderly people.

Published: November 2020

Objectives: The study aims to determine the incidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic kidney disease patients, the correlation between creatinine, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and phosphate, and calcium in renal disease.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed, a total of 100 hemodialysis patients’ reports were analyzed from January 2019 to December 2019, at Hebron Governmental Hospital, in Hebron, Palestine. The patients’ data were collected, including creatinine level, calcium, and phosphorus in addition to PTH concentrations. Twenty-five healthy persons with normal kidney function were also included in the study as a control for comparison. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22 was used to analyze the data. T-test and Pearson’s tests were used to study the results. R (Pearson’s test) was used to determine the correlation between creatinine, PTH, phosphate, and calcium.

Results: The mean values of serum of creatinine, phosphate, calcium, and PTH were determined for both patients and the control. Levels of PTH were significantly higher in kidney failure patients and positively correlated with creatinine and phosphate. However, levels of PTH were significantly negatively correlated with calcium. All patients included in the study have very high levels of PTH PTH. This increase might be due to many factors that contributed to the hypersecretion of PTH. The correlations between these predisposing factors of SHPT are explained.

Conclusion: The study showed that SHPT is common among patients with end-stage renal disease. The most complications of SHPT are mineral and bone metabolism disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Thus, early detection and treatment of SHPT may control these complications.

THE CHANCELLERY OF CONTRACT AFFAIRS (TO THE HISTORY OF LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENT IN RUSSIA IN PETER THE GREAT’S TIME)
Authors:   Institute of History and Archeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, REDIN D.A.
Published: November 2020

The purpose of the article is to research the history of creation and formation of the Chancellery of Contract Affairs – the first supervisory and regulatory body in the field of public procurement in Russia. The early history of the Contracting Chancellery (1715–1717) can be traced in the context of the development of legislative and administrative regulation of public procurement during the reign of Peter the Great. The institution of public procurement itself, according to the author, is associated with the acquisition of distinct features of the modern state by Russia, which was manifested in the previous time. The immediate impetus for the development of the institution was the reform of the armed forces and the resulting mobilization efforts of the supreme power. The very content of the research predetermined the use of source-based and historical-legal methods. As a result of the study, the author states that the creation of a special body – the Chancellery of Contract Affairs, designed to take control of the situation under state contracts, turned out to be the right decision. The well-coordinated work of the Contracting Chancellery with the Senate, fiscal authorities and investigative bodies led to the creation of a number of important regulatory legal acts, almost ‘from scratch’ forming the legislative basis for the institution of public procurement functioning. The need for further work on the designated topic is noted.

M. Sverdlov. Based on the thesis about the special place of the University in the system of party and Soviet managers training, the research hypothesis is formulated about the possibility of evaluating the block of legal disciplines content as the indicator of Soviet Russia senior leadership’s attitude to the state and law, as the elements of the country's governance system. Evidentiary base is based on on the results of the analysis of the University's educational-methodological materials that were not previously introduced into scientific circulation in 1919-1920.
Fine scale foraging habitat selection by two diving central place foragers in the Northeast Atlantic
Authors: Huon Mathilde , Planque Yann , Jessopp Mark , Cronin Michelle , Caurant Florence , Vincent Cécile
Published: November 2020

1. Understanding the animal-habitat relationship at local scale is
crucial in ecology, particularly to develop strategies for wildlife
management and conservation. As this relationship is governed by
environmental features and intra and inter-specific interactions,
habitat selection of a population may vary locally between its core and
edges. 2. This is particularly true for central place foragers, such as
grey and harbour seals, whose trends in numbers vary among different
regions in the Northeast Atlantic. Here, we aimed at studying how
foraging habitat selection may vary locally with the influence of
population trends and physical habitat features 3. Using GPS/GSM tags
deployed in grey and harbour seal colonies of contrasting sizes, we
investigate spatial patterns and foraging habitat selection by comparing
trip characteristics and home range similarities, and fitting GAMM to
the seal distribution and environmental data respectively. 4. We show
that grey seal foraging habitat selection and spatial patterns differed
markedly between regions. Grey seals may select environmental
characteristics for their foraging habitat accounting for local
differences in prey consumed. Spatial patterns were different might
depend on local seal density and regional productivity, located from
inshore to offshore areas for the limit ranges and core population
respectively. Our results on foraging habitat selection reflected the
coastal and sedentary behaviour of harbour seals. We found no difference
in spatial patterns between colonies, except for the Inner Hebrides
where seals foraged further, potentially reflecting density dependence
pressure, as the number in this colony is higher. 5. These results
suggest that local conditions might have a strong influence on
population spatial ecology, highlighting as well the relevance of
studying foraging habitat selection based on foraging behaviour at fine
geographical scale, particularly if species are managed within regional
units.
Spenders versus savers: climate-induced carbon allocation tradeoffs in an introduced woody plant
Authors: Long Randy , Dudley Tom , D'Antonio Carla , Grady Kevin , Bush Susan E. , Hultine Kevin
Published: November 2020

Non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) storage may be under strong selection
in woody plant species that occur across strong environmental gradients.
We therefore investigated carbon allocation strategies in a widely
distributed, introduced woody plant. We predicted genotypes from cold
climates with exposure to episodic freeze events, would have elevated
NSC concentrations with the tradeoff of reduced growth and reproduction
relative to warm-adapted genotypes. We established an experimental
common garden using genotypes of Tamarix spp., sourced across a large
thermal gradient within their introduced range. We measured seasonal NSC
storage in coarse roots and stems, above-ground growth and flower
production. Autumn NSC concentrations were 50% higher in genotypes from
sites with spring freeze events compared to genotypes from warmer sites.
Cold-adapted genotypes also had a 2.3-fold higher starch to soluble
sugar ratio than warm-adapted genotypes. Across all genotypes and
seasons, NSC storage was inversely correlated with growth and
reproduction. Results suggest that Tamarix from colder locations cope
with freeze events by maintaining large storage pools to support tissue
regrowth, but with the tradeoff of reduced growth and reproduction.
Results provide evidence of selection in carbon allocation strategies in
response to climate in introduced woody species.
Chordal preservation mitral valve replacement for delayed MitraClip failure
Authors: Greason Kevin , Spittell Peter , Wright R
Published: November 2020

Mitral valve replacement may be indicated for delayed MitraClip failure.
Although it would be best to preserve the chordal apparatus during
mitral valve replacement, this has not been reported for delayed
MitraClip failure. The reason is probably because there is almost always
impressive inflammation around the MitraClip which has likely precluded
previous attempts at chordal preservation. We report successful chordal
preservation mitral valve replacement for delayed MitraClip failure.

Authors: Ng Choon Khon , Zanil Mohd. Fauzi
Published: November 2020

Heat exchanger control trainer is a device that helps to demonstrate process control of process variables and simulates real world industrial plant system whereas the implementation of Internet of things (IoT) technology allows wireless communication. This paper describes a work to develop an IoT based heat exchanger control trainer for undergraduate process control programme with the implement Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller and fuzzy logic controller into the control trainer system together. The work started up with the development of graphical user interface (GUI) for the control trainer followed by the construction and coding of the control trainer prototype. The work has developed a heat exchanger control trainer GUI with PID and fuzzy logic controller. Information was able to be transmitted wirelessly between the GUI and control trainer prototype using Wi-Fi modules. The tested maximum signal strength was -90 dBm in 50 m when connected to indoor Wi-Fi router.  The control trainer was able to achieve simple temperature feedback control of the cold side of the heat exchanger. The user manual included the basic user guide of the developed control trainer user interface. Kp, Ki, Kd of Ziegler-Nichols tuning method obtained in Offline case studies are 90,18, 112.5 whereas 7.2009, 1.1473, and 7.3163 for Cohen-Coon tuning method. The Offline test result shows a better accuracy of control using the fuzzy logic controller with -0.07% of steady-state error. Further improvement could be made to by adding cooling system into the control trainer prototype and apply modern techniques in the GUI control systems.
Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) seeds for the treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) and its Feedforward Artificial Neural Network (FANN) modeling
Authors: Tariq Mohammad Asad , Sethu Vasanthi , Arumugasamy Senthilkumar , Selvarajoo Anurita
Published: November 2020

In the present research, local rambutan seed extract was used as a bio-coagulant for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME). Jar test experiments were conducted to find the optimal operating conditions for the removal of turbidity and total suspended solids from POME. At an optimal pH of 3, bio-coagulant dosage of 600 mg/L and room temperature of 28⁰C, an impressive removal of 65% of total suspended solids and 79% of turbidity was achieved. Along with this, a Feedforward Artificial Neural Network (FANN) was used to model the coagulation mechanism. Three different training algorithms were tested on the FANN, namely the Lavenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian Regularization and Scaled Conjugate Gradient methods. The best training algorithm was found to be Bayesian Regularization, based on the fact that it was in closer agreement with the experiment results and gave very low error percentage. The results of this study suggest that rambutan seeds have potential in being used as a bio-coagulant for POME treatment. Treatment efficiencies were reasonably high, and less sludge was produced using this natural treatment method, thus deemed to be more economical and environmentally friendly.

While industries are familiar with environmental management systems for continuous improvement of production processes and products, there are various green-concept-oriented methods that can address environmental concerns significantly. This work focused on adaptation of cleaner production strategy for enhancing environmental management systems. Specifically, this work developed self-implementable methodology that systematically leads to identification of cleaner production options to improve environmental performance and efficiency of manufacturing industry. The developed methodology aims at preventing or reducing carbon emission from production processes and activities. The proposed methodology comprises three steps. In step 1, the sources of carbon emission from the manufacturing industry are identified through materials and energy consumption and waste generation. In step 2, the fate of the sources of carbon emission is determined. The sources are to be prevented or reduced. In step 3, cleaner production options are generated. Cleaner production options include modification of key operating parameters in manufacturing processes, such as temperature, pressure and time; implementation of housekeeping practices; modification of production process; substitution of greener materials; adaptation of new technologies; training to workers and 3R (reuse, recover, recycle). The options are generated with investigative questions. A food manufacturing industry was selected as a case study to demonstrate the practicality of using the developed methodology to generate cleaner production options. A total of 15 specific cleaner production options were identified for the studied premise using the methodology proposed demonstrating the practicality of the developed methodology.
Constituição de carreiras inexistentes, uma leitura a partir de Max Weber
Authors: Finatti Renata Riva
Published: November 2020

O artigo discute, à luz dos conceitos de ação social, burocracia, poder e dominação, de Max Weber, a constituição da “carreira de direção escolar” em escolas públicas de Curitiba/PR. O termo foi cunhado a partir da pesquisa sobre a escolha, por meio de consulta à comunidade escolar, das funções de direção e vice-direção das escolas. Constatou-se, a partir do resultado dos pleitos ocorridos desde 1983, que um grupo de profissionais, concursados para a docência no município, constituiu suas carreiras em função distinta àquela dos concursos que prestaram: a função diretiva das escolas. Uma vez eleitos, muitos no primeiro pleito ocorrido no Município, no início dos anos 1980, só saíram da função de direção para aposentar-se.

Educação de Jovens e Adultos no Brasil: contradições entre políticas públicas e qualidade educacional
Authors: Neres Efigênia Alves , Gonçalves Marli Clementino , Araújo Neuton Alves de
Published: November 2020

Este estudo, de cunho bibliográfico e documental, se propõe a fazer reflexões a partir de um levantamento de estudos históricos, políticos e legais que estruturam a política da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no Brasil, tendo como questão orientadora: como se configuram as contradições entre políticas públicas e qualidade no cenário da EJA no Brasil? A EJA assumiu no quadro das políticas públicas para a educação uma posição secundária por ser percebida em suas origens como uma política compensatória, destinada a oferecer uma segunda oportunidade de escolarização àquelas pessoas que não puderam frequentar a escola na idade “apropriada”. Embora não tenham faltado dispositivos legais, a exemplo de campanhas e programas considerados os diferentes períodos, as iniciativas não implicaram em transformações com saltos qualitativos que possibilitassem alterar, substancialmente, o quadro de exclusão e desigualdade social, assentado na precariedade do acesso e das condições objetivas de permanência numa escola de qualidade para todos.
Histórias profissionais: políticas de formação e percursos formativos de professores

Published: November 2020

O artigo apresenta um estudo investigativo sobre histórias profissionais em interfaces com as políticas de formação docente. O objetivo da pesquisa parte da prerrogativa de analisar histórias de professores e a reverberação das políticas formativas em seus percursos formativos. Para tanto, dialogou-se teoricamente com as contribuições de Nóvoa (1999) e Saviani (2009). As narrativas biográficas construídas a partir de entrevistas orais, foram analisadas destacando as categorias analíticas seguida da aplicação de questionário semiestruturado, caracterizando este estudo de natureza qualitativa em que se toma das narrativas os subsídios para dialogar com elementos bibliográficos. Os achados desta pesquisa sinalizou que as políticas de formação de professores, a legislação vigente e as demandas sociais de um determinado tempo influenciam diretamente nas trajetórias individuais dos professores, entretanto estas políticas não se uniformizam nos percursos formativos, uma vez que cada professor constrói sua história profissional a partir dos modos de recriação da cultura laboral. Destacou-se ainda que na história da formação docente, dada as condições objetivas da razão prática, a cultura profissional incorpora as exigências legais e formativas em muitas circunstâncias de forma acrítica, justificando que o normativo é pra ser incorporado e não questionado, o que evidencia o peso hierárquico das políticas em nossos modos de exercer a docência quando esta consiste em nossa ocupação primária.

Barium titanate (BaTiO3) attracts high scientific and technological attention
due to good dielectric and electromechanical properties. Although BaTiO3 is
one of the most frequently investigated ferroelectric materials, the need
for finding new and/or improved synthesis methods of this material still
exists. In this paper, a novel, mild synthesis route for producing
tetragonal BaTiO3 from barium nitrate and Ti-oxalate precursor is presented.
Morphology of the prepared and subsequently sintered BaTiO3 was determined
by SEM. Particle size distribution of the as prepared powder was monitored
by the laser diffraction. The phase composition, structure and lattice
dynamics were investigated by XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Finally,
dielectric parameters were determined in the temperature range from 30 to
180?C, and within a variety of frequencies. Curie temperature was detected
at 130?C.

Published: November 2020

This study aims to fabricate low-cost foam glass-ceramic using
soda-lime-silica (SLS) glass waste and clamshells (CS) as foaming agent in
content between 1 and 12 wt.% by conventional powder processing method. The
samples were undergoing sintering process between 700 and 1000?C with holding
time of 30 minutes and characterized according to the physical and structural
properties. Samples containing 3 wt.% CS treated at 800?C show the greatest
size of porosity. As the sintering temperature increased, the samples tend to
become less dense. However, for the samples sintered at 900 and 1000?C, the
trend of the density changes because of the excess CO2 gases generated during
the heat treatment process promotes an increase in internal pressure, which
results in the rupture of the pore walls. For linear expansion, for samples
with a sintering temperature of 800?C and higher, the increment of the
temperature will lead to the decrement of linear expansion (%). As the
sintering temperature increases from 700 to 800?C, the water absorption (%)
increases. However, the percentage of water absorption decreases with the
further increment of sintering temperature. The XRD characterization showed
the formation of wollastonite phase (CaSiO3) and further revealed the
formation of greater peaks of CaSiO3 at the higher sintering temperatures.
The results of compressive mechanical strength between 0.15 and 1.50 MPa
indicate that the obtained glass-ceramic foams have potential for building
material applications.

Published: November 2020

?he influence of thermally induced microstructural transformations on
magnetic properties of Fe72Cu1V4Si15B8 ribbon with combined
amorphous/nanocrystalline structure is presented. The experiments showed
that thermally induced structural changes are in correlation with the
appearance of magnetic hysteresis, i.e. with inverted hysteresis loops (IHL)
and exchange bias (EB) effects. It was found that the ratio of surface to
volume of a ribbon sample have an influence on hysteresis loop appearance.
The inverted hysteresis loops were observed for the 1.5 mm wide and 55 ?m
thick alloy samples shorter than 10 mm, but for the samples longer than 10
mm hysteresis loops were normal. With an increase of annealing temperature,
a shift of the hysteresis loops measured at room temperature was noticed.
The highest positive exchange bias field Heb was observed for the sample
annealed at 723 K, together with the lowest magnetic field at which the
changes from inverted to normal hysteresis loop occurred. Annealing at the
temperature of 823 K resulted in negative Heb.

Published: November 2020

This study analyzes the feasibility of valorizing industrial by-product, fly
ash from a thermal power plant as a partial replacement of mineral
filler-limestone for the production of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Three
types of SCC mixtures with different portions of fly ash and the reference
mixture with limestone were designed. The synthesized SCCs in the fresh
state were examined for density, entrained air content, flowability (Slump
flow, Slump flow time (t500), V-funnel time (tv)), passing ability (L-box),
and segregation resistance, while hardened state testing included: density,
compressive and flexural strength, static modulus of elasticity, water
permeability, resistance against freezing in the presence of de-icing salt,
and SEM analysis. Taking into account the obtained results it can be
concluded that the addition of fly ash has a positive impact on the concrete
properties and that the optimal content of fly ash is 20 % with respect to
the total filler mass.

Published: November 2020

Nickel-alumina composites with various content of nickel were synthetized by
sol-gel method. The characterization of samples was performed by diffuse
reflectance spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using
the Mott-Schottky analysis. Glassy carbon electrode modified by synthesized
composites was investigated for reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Modification of
glassy carbon electrode with composite sample led to the strong apparent
electrocatalysis. Principal component analysis was used to establish
correlation between structural, textural and electrochemical data of
investigated composites.
