Authors: Shafiq Noorishah Binti , Ali Dayang Haszelinna Abang
Published: March 2022

As the statistic of crime rates has become the main concern in any parts of the world, criminologists and policymakers have focused much in preventing crime rates from rocketing. This is where the economics of crime was generated. Thus, this study employs annual panel data from 2000 to 2013 to investigate the economic determinants of crime rate in 7 selected countries. The 7 selected countries are Honduras, Venezuela, El-Salvador, Jamaica, South Africa, Colombia and Bahamas. The methodologies used included panel unit root, panel cointegration, panel granger causality and Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS). The result shows that all the variables are stationary at the first difference and are cointegrated in the long run. From panel granger causality test, there are three short run granger causality relationship exist that run from number of tourist arrivals to GDP per capita, from GDP per capita to unemployment rate and from unemployment rate to crime rate. In addition, the result of DOLS shows that there is a long run and positive relationship between unemployment rate and crime rate. Therefore, the government and the related agencies around the world need to cooperate with one another in providing or designing the best policy in reducing crime, especially in the case of homicide.

Published: March 2022

Latar Belakang : Intubasi endotrakeal merupakan salah satu upaya dalam menjaga patensi jalan napas disertai dengan pengendalian oksigenasi dan ventilasi. Intubasi endotrakeal menggunakan sebuah pipa endotrakeal yang dilengkapi dengan balon yang berfungsi sebagai alat fiksasi dan mencegah terjadinya aspirasi jalan napas. Balon pipa endotrakeal dikembangkan umumnya berkisar 20-30 cmH2O sesuai rekomendasi. Tekanan ini dapat dipengaruhi beberapa faktor seperti diameter balon, daya regang, edema pada mukosa trakea, serta perubahan posisi kepala pasien. Perubahan tekanan endotrakeal ini dapat menyebabkan komplikasi mulai dari ringan hingga berat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran perbedaan perubahan tekanan bola pipa endotrakeal pada beberapa posisi sehingga dapat meminimalisasi komplikasi.

Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan uji klinis dilakukan di RSCM dari bulan Agustus sampai dengan Oktober 2018 pada total 36 subjek yang menjalani anestesia umum dan diintubasi. Tekanan balon pipa endotrakeal ditentukan sebesar 25 cmH2O, pada posisi supinasi dan kepala lurus. Dilakukan perubahan posisi dari supinasi ke lateral dekubitus serta rotasi kepala 15°, 45° dan 60° dari garis tengah. Kemudian dilakukan pengukuran kembali tekanan balon pipa endotrakeal setelah perubahan posisi kepala dan tubuh pasien. Analisis dilakukan dengan melakukan uji komparatif Friedman dan hasil dianggap bermakna jika nilai p 0,05.

Hasil : Terdapat perbedaan bermakna tekanan bola pipa endotrakeal antara posisi supinasi dengan rotasi kepala 15°, 45°, 60° dan lateral dekubitus kanan secara statistik. (p<0,001) Namun secara klinis, didapatkan bahwa hanya posisi lateral dekubitus kanan yang memiliki perbedaan yang bermakna dengan nilai perbedaan tekanan 7 (2 - 25) mmH2O.

Simpulan: Perubahan posisi supinasi dengan rotasi kepala 15°, 45°, 60° dan posisi lateral dekubitus kanan menyebabkan perubahan tekanan bola pipa endotrakeal. Posisi lateral dekubitus kanan memiliki perbedaan tekanan bola pipa endotrakeal yang bermakna secara klinis.

Published: March 2022

Os jardins botânicos sempre tiveram papel importante na história mundial e atualmente são instituições com funções diversas: científica, educacional, social, histórica e ecológica. O Jardim Botânico de Recife (JBR) tem histórico e características pouco conhecidos, divulgados apenas em relatórios internos. Desde sua criação, em 1979, passou por extensa fase de abandono, além da falta de funcionários efetivos, o que dificultou o seu crescimento institucional e  registro de ações realizadas. Sendo assim, este trabalho objetivou descrever o histórico de uso da área, sua biodiversidade, estrutura funcional e instalações através da busca de dados secundários, entre relatórios técnicos, notas em jornais e publicações realizadas pela equipe. Diante dos materiais revisados foi verificado que a partir da grande reforma de 2008, quando também houve formação de equipe técnica multidisciplinar, a partir de concurso público, houveram grandes avanços institucionais, sendo o principal, a categorização junto ao Ministério do Meio Ambiente. Hoje o JBR tem grande reconhecimento público, sendo a principal vitrine ambiental da cidade do Recife.

Published: March 2022

No ensino das Ciências são abordados conteúdos sobre os insetos e sua importância para a vida no planeta. Todavia, na visão antropocêntrica os insetos são vistos como seres nojentos, perigosos, repugnantes e inúteis. Esta visão pode estar relacionada às influências socioculturais aos quais os indivíduos estão expostos no seu cotidiano. Assim, este trabalho objetivou utilizar o Meliponário do Jardim Botânico do Recife como recurso didático para mudança de concepções sobre abelhas nativas sem ferrão, através de questionários semiestruturados, aula expositiva e a prática no contato com as caixas e as estruturas dos ninhos. O trabalho mostrou que aulas práticas que oportunizam o contato direto com as abelhas nativas possibilitam despertar a curiosidade, o senso crítico e a afetividade dos discentes, o que poderá contribuir para modificar conceitos sobre as abelhas e sua relação com a natureza de uma forma geral.

Authors: Luigini Alessandro , Parricchi Monica , Basso Alessandro , Basso Demis
Published: March 2022

Heritage education is an activity that is increasingly present in the educational curricula of schools and museums. Cognitive mechanisms and Representation devices must be thoroughly analysed and designed in order to promote the creation of didactic paths to foster effective learning experiences. Immersive visualization technologies are well suited for gamification applications and the technological and economic accessibility of VR HMD (head-mounted display) viewers makes these technologies particularly attractive for the development of potentially more widespread methodologies. This article will describe an educational path, and the relative experimentation, on the cultural heritage focused on the production of the typical bread of the Val Pusteria area - and the rural life around it. The project was aimed at primary school children and was based on a serious game in Virtual Immersive Reality.
A collective brain to adapt teaching to quarantined first and second graders
Authors: Araya Roberto
Published: March 2022

The education of first and second graders was the hardest hit by the pandemic. They have to learn to read, which is the biggest learning leap one can take. However, learning to read with a remote teacher is very complex at that age, and even more difficult in vulnerable sectors without access to computers or internet. In this work we investigate whether a playful smartphone based territorial ecosystem of collective brain among teachers of first and second graders can be implemented in the current pandemic and study to what extent it fosters the exchange and improvement of teaching strategies among teachers. Based on the experience gained on the ecosystem built in 2019, the system was adapted in order to encourage the sharing of teaching strategies between teachers. We obtained our data from the online territorial ecosystem where we received 450,000 responses from students, and from 3-minute videos made by teachers and shared on the ecosystem. We found that 640 teachers adopted the ecosystem App, with 98 of them sharing their strategies by uploading 3-minute videos. From these videos we also found evidence of an evolution of the strategies, which may have come from teachers imitating and improving on the strategies shown in previous videos.

Published: March 2022

This paper reports the outcomes of a unique investigation coordinated by ASLERD that had the aim of comparing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on three learning ecosystems with different cultural backgrounds and settings: Iraq, Italy and Mexico. Using the same questionnaire translated from Italian to English, Arabic and Spanish, the study has investigated these ecosystems through the lens of University teachers. Despite cultural and infrastructural differences that unavoidably influenced the outcomes, we have detected common effects in the three samples, such as an increase of the working load and a better organization of the time at individual level. Network analysis methods also allowed us to identify some relationships between variables common to the three contexts. In particular, some variables clustered in all samples: a cluster related to the setting (infrastructure and technologies, competences and readiness to respond), one related to the characteristics of the didactic activities, and one related to expectations for the future about use of and involvement in on-line learning. In addition, the reproducibility of classroom dynamics seems to have high betweenness centrality in all three networks. In one case, that of Iraq, we have been also able to include in the causal networks the factors considered by the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), but the networks appear not to be substantially influenced by the inclusion of TAM variables. On the basis of these results, we propose a Model for the Attitude to get Engaged in Technological Innovation (MAETI), to be used as possible reference framework for future investigation on the effects induced by technologies on use intentions.

Promoting social innovations in libraries requires a new approach to designing innovation programs. In order to provide the effective learning program on social innovations for libraries, the Research through Design methodology was selected as a tool for setting the program for the needs of participants as well as for providing scalable approach to designing innovation programs aimed at increasing the innovation competencies of librarians. Design thinking and the design process are a suitable basis for incubating new socially innovative services. However, the design process needs to include the subsequent phases of the social innovation life cycle, such as demonstrating the impact, its successful presentation or scaling. For a higher social impact, it is necessary to strengthen the importance of participatory community network mapping as a key input in solving community problems and the role and future direction of the library. When designing, it is necessary to integrate all these components into one whole, and when facilitating, it is necessary to pay attention to all these parts. Four runs of the incubation program are described as well as their results, outputs, and learnings from the whole designing process. Gasparini’sconcepts of openness, dialogical spaces and temporality have proven to be applicable also for designing the incubation programs for public libraries. Within the incubation programs attention should be paid both to user-oriented and inner organizational social innovations.

Authors: Alves Vanessa Da Paixão , Diniz Marcelo Bentes
Published: March 2022

Objetivo: O Brasil, historicamente tem como principal fonte de emissão de GEE aquelas decorrentes de mudanças no uso da terra, fortemente correlacionado com o desmatamento na Amazônia, que pode comprometer as Emissões Reduzidas (ER) estabelecidas na Contribuição Nacionalmente Determinada Pretendida apresentada no chamado Acordo de Paris. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar o cenário Business-as-Usual (cenário BAU) por meio da projeção de emissões de CO2 reduzidas por desmatamento evitado originário de Mudanças de Uso da Terra da Amazônia Brasileira.Metodologia: são realizadas estimativas de valores de ER referentes à linha de base histórica do desmatamento do período de 2006 a 2020, além da projeção do cenário BAU baseado no modelo de regressão linear dos dados das ER de 2021 a 2030.Relevância: estudos de cenários para o desmatamento são fundamentais e este, em especial, consistiu em responder como se configurariam as emissões por desmatamento se nada se alterasse no futuro em relação ao cenário habitual ou cenário BAU.Resultados: em um cenário pessimista com altas taxas de desmatamento, as estimativas do Cenário BAU, seriam: – 121,85 e – 271,31 MtCO2 em 2025 e 2030, respectivamente. Ademais, as metas de ER para os anos: 2020 (154,7 MtCO2); 2025 (719 MtCO2) e 2030 (887 MtCO2) estariam superestimadas, contrariando os objetivos de mitigação de emissões.Conclusão: a principal conclusão do estudo é que em um contexto de retorno das altas taxas de desmatamento na Amazônia, o Brasil ainda tem um grande desafio para alcançar os níveis desejados de emissões de GEE.

Published: March 2022

Coiled tubing (CT) is widely used in the oil and gas industry. However, corrosion-related failures are frequently reported. Research into the causes of failures leads to improvement in the design of components and processes. In this study, a new CT sample and a CT sample with perforated wall that had failed after a few acidizing operations were selected for analysis. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images at the fracture site showed that CT damage was caused by the low cycle fatigue. In addition, light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that a corrosion pit acted as the initiator of the crack. Elemental analysis using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) indicated the presence of an iron oxide layer and a layer associated with the Sb containing inhibitor. The corrosion damage investigation showed that the internal CT wall pits likely formed during storage due to the acidizing operations in the areas where the remaining liquid was still at the tube bottom.

A Methodology for Opacity verification for Transactional Memory algorithms using Graph Transformation System
Authors: Cardoso Diogo J. , Foss Luciana , Du Bois Andre R.
Published: March 2022

With the constant research and development of Transactional Memory (TM) systems, various algorithms have been proposed, and their correctness is always an important aspect to take into account. When analyzing TM algorithms, one of the most commonly used correctness criterion is opacity, which infers that executions only observe consistent states of the shared memory. This paper proposes a formal definition to demonstrate that a given TM algorithm only generates opaque histories using a Graph Transformation System. The methodology introduced consists of translating an algorithm into production rules that manipulate the state of a graph. The proposed approach has demonstrated capability to deal with some of the complexity of TM algorithms and a case study has shown the working proof of opacity of the algorithm in question.

Searching of Individual Vortices in Experimental Data
Authors: Duda Daniel
Published: March 2022

The turbulent flows consist of many interacting vortices of all scales, which all together self-organize being responsible for the statistical properties of turbulence. This chapter describes the searching of individual vortices in velocity fields obtained experimentally by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) method. The vortex model is directly fitted to the velocity field minimazing the energy of the residual. The zero-th step (which does not a priori use the vortex model) shows the velocity profile of vortices. In the cases dominated by a single vortex, the profile matches the classical solutions, while in turbulent flow field, the profile displays velocity decrease faster than 1/r. The vortices fitted to measured velocity field past a grid are able to describe around 50 % of fluctuation energy by using 15 individual vortices, and by using 100 vortices, the fluctuating field is reconstructed by 75 %. The found vortices are studied statistically for different distances and velocities.

Published: March 2022

Trichoderma species, a cosmopolitan fungi, present in all types of soil, manure, and decaying plant tissues that can degrade domestic waste relatively quickly without emitting bad odors. Trichoderma is recognized worldwide as potential fungal bio-control agents for the management of various foliar and soil-borne plant pathogens, highly compatible with sustainable agriculture and play major role as a component of integrated pest management. Bio-control agents are an antagonism and eco-friendly approach for managing plant diseases. Trichoderma as bioagent area effective not only against soil-borne plant pathogens, but also against nematodes without any adverse effect on beneficial microbes. Trichoderma is capable of growth promotions in crops. There are two major mass production methods of Trichoderma spp. viz., solid state fermentation and liquid state fermentation. In solid, fungus is grown on various cereal grains, agricultural wastes, and byproducts, and these products are used mainly for direct soil application to suppress the soil-borne inoculums. In a liquid state, Trichoderma is grown on media such as molasses and yeast in deep tanks and fermentation can be made into different formulations such as dusts, granules, pellets, wettable powders. As seed-treating agents or bio-priming agents, Trichoderma formulations can be successfully used against several soil-borne diseases caused by Pythium, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium and Sclerotium, spp. in several crops.

Published: March 2022

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method that allows the layer-by-layer growth of functional materials by exposing a surface to different precursors in an alternative fashion. Thus, thanks to gas-solid reactions that are substrate-limited and self-terminating, precise control over thickness below the nanometer level can be achieved. While ALD was originally developed to deposit uniform coatings over large areas and on high-aspect-ratio features, in recent years the possibility to perform ALD in a selective fashion has gained much attention, in what is known as area-selective deposition (ASD). ASD is indeed a novel 3D printing approach allowing the deposition of functional materials (for example metals to oxides, nitrides or sulfides) with nanometric resolution in Z. The chapter will present an introduction to ALD, which will be followed by the description of the different approaches currently being developed for the ASD of functional materials (including initial approaches such as surface pre-patterning or activation, and newer concepts based on spatial CVD/ALD). The chapter will also include a brief overview of recent works involving the use of ALD to tune the properties of 3D printed parts.
Central Control of the Larynx in Mammals

Published: March 2022

Speech is a complex process that requires the coordination of multiple structures of the phonatory system regulated by the central nervous system. Specifically, the larynx is the key point necessary for the vocal folds to come into contact to convert the air that comes out of our lungs into sound. Vocal emission involves the genesis of a precise and prolonged expiration that provides an adequate pressure/air flow component to generate a subglottic pressure compatible with vocalization. The starting point for voluntary vocal production is the laryngeal motor cortex (LMC), a common structure in mammals, although the specific location within the cortex differs in humans. LCM projects to the periaqueductal gray matter (PGM), which leads to pontomedullary structures to locate the generators of laryngeal-respiratory motor patterns, necessary for vocal emission. All these regions present a high expression of FOXP2 transcription factor, necessary for brain and lung development that is closely related to vocalization. These central structures have in common that not only convey cardiorespiratory responses to environmental stress but also support vocalization. At clinical level, recent studies show that central circuits responsible for vocalization present an overactivity in certain speech disorders such as spasmodic dysphonia due to laryngeal dystonia.
Lung Macrophages: Pivotal Immune Effector Cells Orchestrating Acute and Chronic Lung Diseases
Authors: F. van Eeden Stephan , D. Sin Don
Published: March 2022

Macrophages are key immune cells, where they play a pivotal role in host defense and tissue homeostasis. The lungs have two major subsets, alveolar macrophages (AMs) found in airspaces and interstitial macrophages (IMs) found in lung tissues. Lung macrophages (LM) are highly heterogeneous and have high levels of plasticity. A long-lasting population of LM with self-renewal ability populate the lung during embryogenesis and monocyte-derived macrophages recruited during infection, inflammation, or tissue repair, which are more short lived. AMs have been the main focus of research due in part to their abundance, accessibility, and ease of isolation compared with IMs. With advances in multichannel flow cytometry and single-cell sequencing, the importance of IMs has been recently appreciated. LM’s functions in the lungs include maintenance of homoeostasis, immune surveillance, removal of cellular debris, tissue repair, clearance of pathogens, and the resolution of inflammation. They also activate the adaptive immune response by functioning as antigen-presenting cells. LMs are pivotal in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory lung conditions including lung cancer. This chapter will discuss the ontology, phenotypic heterogeneity, and functions of LM’s and how these characteristics orchestrate and impact common acute and chronic lung conditions.

Published: March 2022

Chalcogenide thin films have attracted a great deal of attention for decades because of their unique properties. The recent developments on thin film-based supercapacitor applications were reported. As a result of sustained efforts, the experimental findings revealed remarkable properties with enhanced fabrication methods. The properties of perovskite solar cells were discussed in terms of crystal structure and phase transition, electronic structure, optical properties, and electrical properties. Perovskite solar cell has gained attention due to its high absorption coefficient with a sharp absorption edge, high photoluminescence quantum yield, long charge carrier diffusion lengths, large mobility, high defect tolerance, and low surface recombination velocity. The thin film-based gas sensors are used for equally the identification and quantification of gases, and hence should be both selective and sensitive to a required target gas in a mixture of gases. Metal chalcogenide materials are considered excellent absorber materials in photovoltaic cell applications. These materials exhibited excellent absorption coefficient and suitable band gap value to absorb the maximum number of photons from sun radiation. The photovoltaic parameters were strongly dependent on various experimental conditions.

This study aims to present the design experience of LabZERO|UnB, an NZEB building awarded in a public call, that will be built on the University of Brasília campus. The method consisted of defining the design team and the Integrated Design Process (IDP), establishing assumptions and design guidelines, schematic design, initial computer simulations, design development, new simulations, and final calculations for the synthesis of energy performance. As a result, IDP proved to be efficient and underlined the possibility of translating research experiences into practice. The barriers and potentialities related to the coordination of a multidisciplinary team stand out, likewise the organization, planning, and achievement of goals. In the design concept of the 200m2 building, the basic assumption was the adequacy of the architecture to favor the use of passive resources, respecting the local climate, classified as high-altitude tropical climate. Moreover, bioclimatic strategies were used, such as the North/South orientation of main façades, narrow floor plan, limited window-wall ratio, and adequate construction materials, to optimize energy consumption. As a result, the distributed generation of electricity was estimated at 58.29 kWh/m2. a year and the final electricity demand was 34.29 kWh/m2. year. Hence, this process indicates the real possibility of reaching the zero energy balance.
