The voices of John Phillips and John Stevens through the paratexts of the translations of Don Quijote and of Spanish chronicles of the conquest
Authors: Valdeón Roberto A.
Published: September 2019

This article studies the paratexts of the translations of Don Quijote into English by John Stevens and John Phillips, and of the translations of Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias by John Phillips and Crónica del Perú by John Stevens. It draws on the work of Gérard Genette, who discussed the use of paratexts in literary studies, and applies it to the translations covered here in order to discuss the concepts of "voice" and "translatorial identity", as used by translation scholars. After introducing the relevance of paratexts in Translation Studies research, the article studies the titles, the dedications and the prefaces of the four translations, and argues that these texts showed that the two translators had different aims in mind: while John PhillipsÕs agenda was first and foremost ideological, John Stevens was particularly interested in producing faithful renditions of the original works.
Readability indices for the assessment of textbooks: a feasibility study in the context of EFL
Authors: Cantos Gómez Pascual , Sánchez Lafuente Ángela Almela
Published: September 2019

Readability indices have been widely used in order to measure textual difficulty. They can be useful for the automatic classification of texts, especially in language teaching. Among other applications, they allow for the previous determination of the difficulty level of texts without the need of reading them through. The aim of this research is twofold: first, to examine the degree of accuracy of the six most commonly used readability indices, and second, to present a new optimized measure. The main problem is that these readability indices may offer disparity, and this is precisely what has motivated our attempt to unite their potential. A discriminant analysis of all the variables under examination has enabled the creation of a much more precise model, improving the previous best results by 15%. Furthermore, errors and disparities in the difficulty level of the analyzed texts have been detected.
Vliv adaptace aktivovaného kalu na biodegradaci antibiotik a akumulaci genů resistence
Authors: Karpíšek Ivan , Zachová Jitka , Vejmelková Dana , Sýkora Vladimír
Published: September 2019

Aktivovaný kal na čistírnách odpadních vod je neustále vystavován nízkým koncentracím antimikrobiálních látek a dalších léčiv. To vyvolává otázku, jak mikroorganismy k těmto látkám na čistírně odpadních vod přistupují. Zda jsou schopny se v tomto prostředí na tyto látky adaptovat, degradovat je, případně je využít jako substrát. Nebo jestli jsou tyto látky aktivovaným kalem opomíjeny.

Pro posouzení adaptace aktivovaného kalu byla využita metoda PCR pro sledování genů resistence a testy biologické rozložitelnosti. Pro testy byl využit aktivovaný kal z ČOV a kal adaptovaný v laboratorních SBR modelech při koncentracích antibiotik 500 ng∙l−1 a 500 μg∙l−1. Biologická rozložitelnost byla posuzována dle normy ČSN ISO 14593. Testované látky byly sledovány pomocí skupinového stanovení celkového anorganického uhlíku. Jako testované látky byly vybrány: benzylpenicilin, ampicilin, streptomycin, erythromycin, chloramfenikol, sulfamethoxazol a trimetoprim.

Aktivovaný kal z čistírny odpadních vod neměl vyvinutou aktivitu k biodegradaci testovaných antibiotik. Je pravděpodobné, že vysoké zatížení snadno biologicky rozložitelným substrátem a krátké zdržení odpadní vody na ČOV, vede k tomu, že mikroorganismy aktivovaného kalu nejsou nuceny tyto látky aktivně utilizovat a brání se jim pouze tvorbou obranných mechanismů pomocí genů antibiotické resistence. Nízké koncentrace antibiotik v SBR modelech vytvářely selekční tlak na mikroorganismy a podněcovaly šíření genů antibiotické resistence.

Activated sludge in wastewater treatment plants is constantly exposed to low concentrations of antimicrobials and other drugs. This raises the question of how microorganisms approach to these substances in the sewage treatment plant. Whether they can adapt, degrade, or use antibiotics as a substrate in this environment or the activated sludge neglects these substances.

To assess the adaptation of activated sludge, the PCR method for monitoring antibiotic resistance genes and biodegradability tests were used. These tests were carried out with activated sludge from WWTP and sludge adapted in laboratory SBR models at 500 ng∙l−1 and 500 μg∙l−1 of chosen antibiotics. Their biodegradability was assessed according to ČSN ISO 14593. The tested substances were monitored by group determination of total inorganic carbon. The chosen substances were: benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim.

Activated sludge had no developed activity for biodegradation of tested antibiotics. It is likely that the high load of readily biodegradable substrate and the short retention of the wastewater at the WWTP lead to the activated sludge not being forced to actively utilize these substances and will only prevent from them by forming defence mechanisms using antibiotic resistance genes. Low concentrations of antibiotics in SBR models produced selective pressure on microorganisms and stimulated the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.
Úsporné odstraňování dusíku procesem anammox z kalových a splaškových odpadních vod
Authors: Kouba Vojtěch , Bartáček Jan
Published: September 2019

Proces částečná nitritace-anammox odstraňuje amoniakální dusík z odpadních vod s polovičními náklady na aeraci, až o 80 % nižší produkcí přebytečného kalu a bez spotřeby organického substrátu. Jde o zavedený proces pro odstraňování dusíku z kalových vod z anaerobní fermentace, a podobně koncentrovaných a teplých odpadních vod. Na tyto vody se částečná nitritace-anammox aplikuje již déle než deset let, a to např. pod názvy ANAMMOX®, ANITA™ Mox, DEMON®, nebo TERRAMOX®. Optimalizované provozy těchto technologií dusík běžně odstraňují při zatížení 0,5–2,3 kg∙m–3∙d–1 (30–35 °C). Současnou výzvou pro výzkum je implementace částečné nitritace-anammox do hlavního proudu studené splaškové odpadní vody, přičemž konkrétními problémy jsou (i) potlačení nežádoucích nitratačních mikroorganismů (NOB) a (ii) adaptace mikroorganismů anammox na nízké teploty. Náš výzkum jsme začali s jednostupňovým procesem, a poté nitritaci a anammox rozdělili do dvou reaktorů. Prezentujeme strategii, která v laboratorním měřítku NOB účinně potlačila i při 12 °C a dále i v pilotním měřítku při 13–30
°C. Dále ukazujeme, že anammox je možné na nízké teploty adaptovat studenými šoky. Tyto výsledky umožní rozšířit úsporné odstraňování dusíku i do hlavního proudu splaškové odpadní vody na ČOV.

English:

Partial nitritation-anammox (PN/A) process removes nitrogen from wastewater with 50% reduction of aeration costs, 80% less excess sludge and no consumption of organic carbon. PN/A is an established process for the removal of nitrogen from reject water from anaerobic digestion and other similarly warm and concentrated streams. On such wastewater, PN/A has been applied in full scale for over 10 years under names such as ANAMMOX®, ANITA™ Mox, DEMON® or TERRAMOX®, whose optimized installations consistently achieve nitrogen removal loading rates of 0,5–2,3 kg∙m–3∙d–1. The current challenge for research is to implement PN/A into the main stream of cold municipal wastewater, the specific challenges being (i) suppression of undesirable nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and (ii) adaptation of anammox microorganisms to low temperatures. Our initial experiences with one-stage PN/A in the main stream led us to the separation of PN/A in two subsequent reactors. Subsequently, we developed a strategy for NOB suppression in partial nitritation even under 12 °C, which we then successfully tested in the pilot scale. Furthermore, we found that anammox can be adapted to low temperatures using cold shocks. In sum, these results will enable extending the savings for nitrogen removal into the main stream of wastewater at WWTP.

Solid waste management has been recognized as the crucial urban environmental problem in Malaysia. In order to ameliorate waste management, it is essential to know the quantity of waste generated and the elements contributing to the generation of waste. This study was conducted to determine the association between socioeconomic factors and solid waste generation in Kuala Lumpur, to analyse the class of income that contribute the highest contribution of solid waste generation and to propose mitigation plan to local authority in controlling waste production in the study area. In this paper, the socioeconomic factors that lead to waste generation in Kuala Lumpur are presented. A seventeen years (2000-2017) secondary database obtained from the Department of Statistic Malaysia (DOSM), National Solid Waste Management Department (NSWMD) and National Property Information Centre (NAPIC) were statistically analysed by using Chemometric techniques which includes Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The study revealed that population, household income, GDP per capita, low cost flat, 2-3 storey terraced, town house, 2-3 storey semi-detached and apartment/condominium were positively strong correlated with solid waste generation. PCA analysis indicated that population, household income, GDP per capita, single storey terraced, 2-3 storey terraced, single storey semi-detached, 2-3 storey semi-detached, town house, low cost flat, and condominium/apartment were the most potential contributors to waste generation. MLR revealed that population, GDP per capita, household income, high income class and middle-income class were the significant factor towards solid waste generation in Kuala Lumpur. This study gives new insight on the part of socioeconomic parameter in influencing the production of solid waste.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an automatic reading of text components that are optically sensed to translate human-readable characters into machine-readable codes. In handwritten the style of writing vary from person to person, so it is very challenging task to segment and recognize the characters. In this paper we are proposing segmentation and feature extraction techniques to recognise camera captured, handwritten Kannada documents. The segmentation is done by using projection profile technique & Connected Component Analysis (CCA). The pre-processing technique to detect the edges of Kannada character, we have proposed our own technique by combining of Sobel and Canny edge detection. The feature selection and extraction is done in two level, global and local features. Global features are extracted from entire image. In local feature extraction we divided an input character image in to four quadrate based on centroid of character and we will extract local features from all quadrates rather than whole image. We have used Support vector machine (SVM) to classify the handwritten Kannada characters. To evaluate the efficiency of proposed system we have used KHDD dataset, our own document and character dataset. The experimental results shows that our proposed features selection and extraction achieved 96.31% of accuracy, results are encouraging.

The Abbasid Empire emerged as the main power ruling the Muslim world in the year 132H/750CE with its centre in Baghdad, after defeating the Umayyad Dynasty in the battlefield. The Abbasid Empire began to achieve its golden age during the era of Caliph Harun al-Rashid (171-193H/787-809CE). However, the Abbasids gradually experienced decline after the rise of the Turkic military which was brought en masse during the rule of Caliph al-Mu‘tasim (218-226H/833-841CE). The Turkic military began to seize power and some of them set up their own small kingdoms. The most influential leader among the Turkic was Amir Ahmad ibn Tulun (254-270H/868-884CE), who succeeded in founding the Tulunid Kingdom in Egypt. Thus the objective of this research is to examine in detail the biography of Amir Ibn Tulun and attempt to understand and appraise from history, his attitude, interests and authority as the leading Tulunid ruler. This is in view of the close relationship partially between an individual’s current interests and behaviour with the environment in which he grew up. This is a qualitative research using historical and biographical study. This research uses documentation as a method of collecting data by focusing on primary and secondary sources. Analysis of data is descriptive using content analysis and interpretation of sources based on historical interpretation. Research results find that Ibn Tulun succeeded in laying down the ultimate benchmark in the history of Egypt by establishing his domain extending from Syria to the borders of Iraq in the East and to Libya in the West, and declaring full independence from the Abbasid Dynasty centred in Baghdad at that time.

One of the most important problems for hospital management is long waiting times. Especially in Emergency Departments, which are very crowded in terms of the number of applicants, patients wait for a long time without any treatment. Long waiting times between stations affect the total length of stay of the patients in this department. In this case, it directly affects patient safety. Furthermore, patients can leave from hospitals because of not to take effective and rapid treatment or lack of resource. Patient satisfaction is negatively affected and the brand value of these hospitals may decrease. All these events trigger hospital budget also. Hospital managers who faced these problems before, should first review all their existing processes, identify roadmaps and plan improvements. They are able to make use of advanced technologies and make investment decisions for improvement processes. However, investment decisions can be quite costly and can effect of hospital budget economically. Therefore, the use of simulations to compare the results of investment decisions can provide much more accurate decisions. The purpose of this study is to support hospital managers in making decisions by monitoring the impact of investment decisions (technology or resource investment) on the hospital budget. Both investment decisions will be simulated comparatively, patient processes and resource planning will be improved by creating a sustainable management model with RFID Technology.

This Paper includes the nano cavity implementation of the biosensors in the detection of any chemical analyte and pesticide. Chemical, organic substances or any biological analytes are deemed to be present in any food or soft drink. Detection of these kinds of analytes are the potential risk. Photonic Crystals are rapid and precise to reach the sky for the next future. The photonic crystal model simulation is performed using Beam Propagation technology, with change in the refractive index in one selected arm. Therefore the designed MZI acts as a bio sensing device to detect any kind of chemical, bio analyte and organic substances that are present in different food. MZI has many advantages in photonic crystal with the use of least instrument and ready to be compatible with CMOS technology. The experimental program is observed for minute change in refractive index, in this work. Mach Zender Interferometer shall behave as sensor for small change in refractive index of pesticide value and observed power and intensity thus will be accounted. Indicates that it is highly sensitive for the changes in refractive index and in turn it can differentiate between normal food which do not contain any chemical and pesticide present in food.

Frequent Itemset mining (FIM) concept and limitations are explored in this paper, for the purpose of extracting unknown hidden patterns as itemsets from the transactional database. Since candidate generation and support calculations are the major tasks in FIM, the major limitations of FIM are tackled, (i) huge possible frequent itemsets are generated as candidates at each pass (ii) Data base scan at each pass to calculate the support of the generated itemsets (iii) generated itemsets are highly sensitive to the minimum support threshold. SS-FIM a single scan algorithm is to deal with the above limitations. However, several unnecessary itemsets are being hashed in the buckets. To overcome the limitations, a partition based approach is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach, PSSFIM, takes single scan of the database to identify frequent itemsets. The unique feature of PSSFIM allow to generate size of candidate itemsets independent on the minimum support. It allows the candidates in hash that are possible for frequent, which intuitively reduces the cost in terms of verifying the support of generated candidates. It is compared with SS-FIM and Apriori with the standard datasets. The results show that the PSSFIM is good at the comparison of SS-FIM and Apriori.

The basic Converters like buck, boost and buckboost provide pulsed ripple currents either on input or output sides. A Cuk Converter has inductors on both input and output sides, thus produces continuous currents with reduced ripple. By extending the Cuk Converter to AC side with the support of additional rectifier circuit the power factor can be assessed. The significant concerns when utilizing DC-DC converters with AC source is large Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and low power factor. A properly designed filter circuit on AC side reduces THD and improves the power factor. In this paper a Cuk Converter (CC) topology with rectifier and inductive. capacitive. inductive (LCL) filter is proposed to reduce THD and improve the power factor. The CC circuit is designed and analyzed to reduce ripple content of currents. The reduction in ripple on DC side in turn improves the sinusoidal shape of current on AC source side. The closed loop simulation of the proposed circuit is carried out using a systematically derived type III compensator. The proposed circuit is practically validated in closed loop using FPGA controller to confirm the simulated waveforms. The results substantiate the fact that the proposed circuit shrinks ripple on DC source side and reduces harmonics of AC source current. The reduction in harmonics decreases THD to a large extent and improves distortion factor, which enhances the power factor. Also the reduction in ripple trims down losses in the circuit and improves the output power, thus suitable for DC to DC conversions in power supplies for viz. electric vehicles, computers, battery chargers and televisions. The improvement in power factor reduces the power drawn from the source and hence the efficiency of the system is improved.

Increased demand of Software and Applications offer intruders to perform malicious activities and exploit user’s personal data. Ignorance of security measures and tools while coding the software promotes the vulnerabilities and flaws. Developing a secure and bug free software is a big challenge for a developer and needs proper attention towards safety features. A single security mistake can lead to a loss of important information or confidential business data. Software companies and other organizations are looking for improved vulnerability security systems to narrow down the risk of vulnerabilities. Risks like social security attacks, bugs, phishing emails, vulnerabilities, virus attacks and more, hover over the IT industry. Threats are possible from all directions and in many different ways, so having an adequate vulnerability scoring mechanism is highly needed to reduce the risk of attacks. Identifying these threats before they get close enough to do damage is the most practical way to handle them. CVSS-V2 (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) is a standard for scoring the severity of vulnerabilities. CVSS-V2 uses three equations (Base, Temporal and Environmental) to capture and rate vulnerability severity. Numerous IT companies and government organizations rely on CVSS to evaluate and prioritize vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a method as an improvement over CVSS-V2 scoring system by introducing “Vulnerability type” in its base score equation.

Ao longo da história coube ao espaço escolar a tarefa de socializar um conhecimento historicamente construído, no entanto, a contemporaneidade tem revelado uma crise dessa instituição, do que a ela pode ou deveria ser, de qual seria seu papel ou função, ela é uma mercadoria ou não? A escola se encontra em um processo de esvaziamento do seu sentido? Da possibilidade de corroborar com a produção de uma “atividade humana”? Partindo deste diagnóstico foi estabelecida uma parceria entre a Escola Estadual “José Alfredo de Almeida” - Marília - SP e algumas universidades, além da implementação de projetos, como o Programa de Ensino Médio Inovador (PROEMI) e o Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação Científica - Ensino Médio (PIBIC Jr), como ação articuladora de uma nova proposta de trabalho, pautada na Teoria Histórico-Cultural, que enfoca a necessidade dos sujeitos atribuírem novos sentidos às relações estranhadas em seu cotidiano. A partir da realização de atividades interdisciplinares, entre as ciências da natureza e as ciências humanas, buscamos entender, se a escola seria apenas um lugar de reprodução, mas também de transformação social. Para subsidiar as ações propostas, aplicamos um questionário no Ensino Médio com o objetivo de coletar dados que estivessem associados ao universo dos alunos. Nossa, hipótese, seria a de que ainda podemos produzir, organizar e materializar ações, ou melhor, práticas pedagógicas que visem mais do que uma reprodução, mas uma transformação da realidade dos que estão na labuta diária de construir sentidos e significados múltiplos.

Após a popularização esportiva no decorrer do século XX, percebeu-se que vários produtos foram desenvolvidos e disseminados, focando o público consumidor do esporte. O consumo destes produtos potencializou-se através das mídias de massa, que simultaneamente disseminava o esporte, transformando os eventos esportivos em grandes espetáculos. Diante disto, este trabalho tem o objetivo de demonstrar que a mídia utiliza o esporte como ferramenta de influência para o aumento do consumo de produtos com relação direta ou indireta ao esporte, bem como refletir sobre o consumo, a mídia e o esporte. Para isto realizou-se uma revisão de literatura através dos bancos de dados da Scielo e Google Acadêmico. Foi possível considerar que o público ao se deparar com essas informações, muitas vezes compram o produto não por sua qualidade e sim pela imagem do atleta, buscando saciar seus desejos de aproximar-se cada vez mais do seu ídolo/herói e seu mundo.
A Formação docente e discente da Escola Técnica

Published: September 2019

As Escolas Técnicas são geralmente – e erroneamente – taxadas de descendentes da sociedade capitalista, visto que nos séculos passados os trabalhadores eram semiespecializados por esse tipo de ensino, de dimensão técnica elementar, e rapidamente eram substituídos no mercado de trabalho pelo raso conhecimento, mas percebemos nos dias de hoje que essa não é a missão das escolas técnicas, em especial as do Centro Paula Souza, que são o meu objeto de estudo e pesquisas. Partindo daquilo que nos preocupa, precisamos olhar pra o passado e através dele analisar as falhas, observar também suas contribuições, alinhá-las e construir uma assertividade contemporânea, para que questões acerca da educação sejam discutidas, como a formação docente, a integração social do educando, bem como sua autonomia, ética, cidadania, que podem resultar em um conhecimento omnilateral.

Este artigo trata da Análise do Programa Mais Alfabetização (2017- 2018), instituído pela Portaria MEC n ° 142 em 22 fevereiro de 2018, como meio de auxilio as unidades escolares de educação básica, do 1° ao 2° ano, no processo de alfabetização do Ensino Fundamental I da Rede Pública, em concomitância com Base Nacional Comum Curricular. Nosso objetivo é analisar programa, perante a concepção de formação docente e alfabetização, apontando para tendência neoliberal, qual resulta na precarização do trabalho docente e da cultura letrada acessada pelas crianças, na alfabetização leitura e escrita. Trazemos ao debate concepção unilateral do Programa, advoga na contramão do saber ominilateral, resultante da Política de Alfabetização do governo evidenciado (2017-2018) e suas consequência para educação pública brasileira. Os procedimentos do estudo foram a pesquisa bibliográfica, nos documentos de referência do programa e da Política de Alfabetização, no tocante a formação docente, relação trabalho e alfabetização. Metodologia no referencial bibliográfico, da Pedagogia Histórico Critica, Saviani (1989), evidenciando que Mais Alfabetização, precariza formação docente e acesso a cultura letrada, na aquisição das primeiras letras e corrobora a concepção neoliberal, no esvaziamento da escola pública brasileira

The aim of present study was to design an oil separator for the venting systems of gas turbine engines at consumption of gaseous medium 200 m3/h. In order to accomplish the objective, we applied separation gradient aerosol technologies, which consider all the forces and effects that influence deposition of the highly dispersed particles. A scientific base is substantiated for the intensification of gradient processes of the transfer of aerosol media in the boundary layers of multifunctional surfaces in the purification of dispersed polyphase flows for developing the technical devices that ensure an increase in energy saving and ecological improvement of power plants. We designed a section-by-section structural scheme and a three-dimensional model of the oil separator in finite elements for the calculation of hydrodynamics and separation. The calculations were conducted of the hydrodynamic situation and particle trajectory in the flow area of an oil separator. Using the calculated distribution of speed in the oil separator at G=100…200 m3/h, it was determined that velocity in the coagulation profile does not exceed 10 m/s. It was established according to the results of static pressure distribution for G=100, 200 m3/h that the pressure differential in the separation coagulators reaches 2.5…3.9 kPa, respectively. Results of the calculation at G=100…200 m3/h demonstrated that the summary pulsation effect from the deposition of highly dispersed particles amounts to 25.1 %. Based on the calculations, we designed the prototype of an oil separator and tested it experimentally on the test bench in the form of an open type wind tunnel. Coefficient of the total effectiveness of purification was determined, which reaches 99.9 %.

The modernization of purifiers for capturing the aerosols in different systems of power plants is possible based on the separation gradient aerosol technologies. The studies conducted make it possible to develop in the future a range of separators for gas consumption from 20 to 2000 m3/h.
