REFORMA POLSKIEGO PRAWA SPÓŁEK „W DZIAŁANIU”. O POTRZEBIE UTWORZENIA WYSPECJALIZOWANYCH SĄDÓW KORPORACYJNYCH
Authors: Radwan Arkadiusz
Published: February 2020

W niniejszym artykule postuluję utworzenie w Polsce specjalistycznych sądów korporacyjnych. Postępująca specjalizacja i koncentracja terytorialna usług prawnych prywatnych (duże kancelarie „departamentowe”) kontrastuje z przywiązaniem do zasady terytorialności w sposobie organizacji usług prawnych publicznych (wymiar sprawiedliwości). Wykształcenie się w doradztwie prawnym segmentów „biznesowego” i „konsumenckiego” nie znajduje wystarczającej paraleli w ewolucji wymiaru sprawiedliwości. Rozbieżność ta nie ma uzasadnienia celowościowego, ma za to swoje uzasadnienie przyczynowe (odmienne mechanizmy funkcjonowania rynku usług prywatnych i wyboru publicznego). Koncentracja geograficzna „biznesowych” usług prawnych prywatnych (kancelarie) przewyższa silną koncentrację spółek, zwłaszcza dużych spółek publicznych (klienci) i pozostaje w kontraście do stosunkowo równomiernego rozłożenia dostarczycieli usług prawnych publicznych (sądy gospodarcze). Konsekwencją tego kontrastu jest nierównomierność wpływu spraw korporacyjnych do sądów w różnych lokalizacjach. Jednocześnie sprawy z zakresu prawa spółek stanowią jedynie ułamek spraw gospodarczych, co dodatkowo utrudnia specjalizację.

ZNACZENIE KONTROLI PAŃSTWOWEJ INSPEKCJI PRACY DLA OCHRONY ŻYCIA I ZDROWIA PRACOWNIKÓW
Authors: Gładoch Monika
Published: February 2020

Zadania Państwowej Inspekcji Pracy powinny być zgodne z funkcjami, które wypełnia. Jednym z konstytucyjnych zadań państwa jest sprawowanie nadzoru nad warunkami pracy. Ważną rolę w tym zakresie pełni PIP. Także konwencja MOP nr 81 określa główne uprawnienia inspekcji. Poszerzenie zadań nie może prowadzić do ograniczenia jej kluczowych funkcji. Niestety, od lat utrzymuje się trend polegający na zlecaniu inspekcji nowych zadań, co może negatywnie wpływać na wykonywanie przez nią zadań w zakresie ochrony pracy.
PRZESTĘPSTWO NIEALIMENTACJI PRZED I PO NOWELIZACJI Z 23 MARCA 2017 R. ASPEKTY INTERTEMPORALNE
Authors: Kluza Jan
Published: February 2020

Przestępstwo niealimentacji określone w art. 209 k.k. stanowi jeden z nielicznych przykładów odpowiedzialności karnej za długi. Jest to jednak odpowiedzialność ściśle związana przede wszystkim z wywiązywaniem się z podstawowego obowiązku rodzicielskiego względem dzieci. Z uwagi na skalę tego zjawiska i jego naganność ustawodawca zdecydował się w 2017 r. na zasadniczą zmianę w obszarze granic penalizacji tego przestępstwa. Skutkowało to jednak niezamierzonymi przez ustawodawcę konsekwencjami w zakresie intertemporalnym, przede wszystkim odnośnie do częściowej depenalizacji niektórych stanów faktycznych, a także problemów związanych z właściwym opisem czynu zabronionego.
ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚĆ PODMIOTÓW ZBIOROWYCH NA NOWYCH ZASADACH A OBECNE ROZWIĄZANIA PRAWNE. WYBRANE ZAGADNIENIA
Authors: Stokłosa Katarzyna
Published: February 2020

Celem artykułu jest porównanie dotychczasowych regulacji w zakresie odpowiedzialności podmiotów zbiorowych z rozwiązaniami zaproponowanymi w rządowym projekcie ustawy oraz ich ocena. Konieczność zmian wynika z niskiej efektywności dotychczasowych rozwiązań prawnych, jak również z potrzeby dostosowania przepisów do wymogów formułowanych przez OECD oraz konwencje międzynarodowe, których Polska jest stroną. Projekt znosi między innymi konieczność uprzedniego skazania osoby fizycznej oraz znacznie modyfikuje kary i środki karne, które mogą być zastosowane wobec podmiotu zbiorowego. Autorka rozpoczyna rozważania od przedstawienia definicji podmiotu kolektywnego na gruncie obecnych i przyszłych rozwiązań. Następnie poddaje analizie konstrukcje związane z popełnieniem przestępstwa przez szeroko rozumiane osoby prawne i zakres odpowiedzialności w związku z uzyskaniem korzyści majątkowych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem kar i środków karnych. W konkluzji autorka wyciąga określone wnioski i przedstawia postulaty de lege ferenda.

Pregnancy, Physical Activity, Functional Capacity and Adaptations to Exercise
Authors: Barakat Ruben , Perales Maria
Published: February 2020

Pregnancy is a time in women’s lives that is associated with considerable physiological and psychological changes. From a scientific point of view, practically all the female body is changing for nine months, sometimes discontinuously, which can cause generate alterations, including psychological. The addition of exercise can generate, in theory, conflicts due to the requirements and reactions of the physical activity itself. Both pregnancy and exercise are biological process which involve striking many adaptations, such adaptations may be in the same or in opposite direction. Depending on the specific variable being studied. The scientific literature has not been totally conclusive regarding the coexistence of two processes: exercise and pregnancy. However there is currently sufficient empirical evidence to support the promotion of moderate prenatal physical activity for maternal health benefits. Most of the studied consulted in this review show that in the absence of obstetric contraindication during pregnancy adding physical exercise should not pose a risk to maternal and fetal well-being.

Vulcanisation is a chemical process that is used to reinforce rubber, and the process makes it suitable for use in a number of products and industries. Both good mixing conditions and filler dispersion are essential to keep high-quality of rubber products; however, they are quite difficult
to be evaluated by conventional techniques. Prof Yasuyuki Hirakawa is based at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Kurume College. He is working to further evaluate ways to enhance rubber's productivity and performance. This is
being done using terahertz (THz) radiation and electrical current, which can evaluate and inspect materials in a non-destructive way.
Elucidation of carbon nanotube formation mechanism by operand EXAFS measurement
Authors: Maruyama Takahiro
Published: February 2020

Nanomaterials are the up-and-coming players in materials science and increasingly found in everyday products such as energy devices, photocatalyst and sporting equipment. They are also predicted to play a major future role in electronics and microfabrication fields. The term nanomaterials
usually describe materials of which a single unit ranges in size from 1 to 100 nanometres (nm). A specific nanomaterial called a carbon nanotube is exactly this, a tube made of carbon with a diameter measurable in nanometres. While carbon nanotubes can be further segregated into further subtypes
with varying properties, generally speaking they are among the strongest and stiffest materials known in terms of tensile strength and elasticity. These miniature tubes also have promising electrical and optical properties in that they can operate as semiconductors, thermal conductors or even
be employed for absorption and fluorescence applications. Because of this broad range of useful properties, the design and use of carbon nanotubes for a variety of applications and industries is receiving lots of attention. Professor Takahiro Maruyama, who is based at both the Nanomaterial
Research Centre and the Department of Applied Chemistry, Meijo University in Japan, is leading a team conducting research in this field.

Electronic packaging is extremely important, not least to protect the precious electronic devices inside. And these precious devices, in turn, are used to build important industrial products such as automobiles and smart grid systems, for example. It makes sense, then, that high-quality
electronic packaging and the technologies used to produce it is paramount. In Japan, electronic packaging technology is known as 'Jisso' and can be defined as a key technology supporting the development of electronic devices. A team of Japanese researchers is investigating bonding methodologies,
structures and materials for electronics packaging, as well as shedding light on the effect of microstructures on the mechanical properties and reliability of joints.
Peak Outpatient and Emergency Department Visit Forecasting for Patients With Chronic Respiratory Diseases Using Machine Learning Methods: Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Peng Junfeng , Chen Chuan , Zhou Mi , Xie Xiaohua , Zhou Yuqi , Luo Ching-Hsing
Published: February 2020

Background

The overcrowding of hospital outpatient and emergency departments (OEDs) due to chronic respiratory diseases in certain weather or under certain environmental pollution conditions results in the degradation in quality of medical care, and even limits its availability.

Objective

To help OED managers to schedule medical resource allocation during times of excessive health care demands after short-term fluctuations in air pollution and weather, we employed machine learning (ML) methods to predict the peak OED arrivals of patients with chronic respiratory diseases.

Methods

In this paper, we first identified 13,218 visits from patients with chronic respiratory diseases to OEDs in hospitals from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2017. Then, we divided the data into three datasets: weather-based visits, air quality-based visits, and weather air quality-based visits. Finally, we developed ML methods to predict the peak event (peak demand days) of patients with chronic respiratory diseases (eg, asthma, respiratory infection, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) visiting OEDs on the three weather data and environmental pollution datasets in Guangzhou, China.

Results

The adaptive boosting-based neural networks, tree bag, and random forest achieved the biggest receiver operating characteristic area under the curve, 0.698, 0.714, and 0.809, on the air quality dataset, the weather dataset, and weather air quality dataset, respectively. Overall, random forests reached the best classification prediction performance.

Conclusions

The proposed ML methods may act as a useful tool to adapt medical services in advance by predicting the peak of OED arrivals. Further, the developed ML methods are generic enough to cope with similar medical scenarios, provided that the data is available.
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Eradication and Decolonization in Children Study (Part 1): Development of a Decolonization Toolkit With Patient and Parent Advisors
Authors: Moore Courtney M , Wiehe Sarah E , Lynch Dustin O , Claxton Gina EM , Landman Matthew P , Carroll Aaron E , Musey Paul I
Published: February 2020

Background

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin and soft tissue infections affect many healthy children. A significant number of these children are hospitalized and require surgical incision and drainage (I&D). Once sent home, these children and families are asked to complete burdensome home decolonization and hygiene procedures in an effort to prevent the high rate of recurrent infections.

Objective

This component of the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Eradication and Decolonization in Children (MEDiC) study aimed to develop a toolkit to assist MEDiC study participants in completing MRSA decolonization and hygiene procedures at home (the MEDiC kit).

Methods

In all, 5 adolescents (aged 10-18 years) who had undergone an I&D procedure for a skin infection and 11 parents of children who had undergone an I&D procedure for a skin infection were engaged in a 4-hour group workshop using a human-centered design approach. The topics covered in this workshop and analyzed for this paper were (1) attitudes about MRSA decolonization procedures and (2) barriers to the implementation of MRSA decolonization and hygiene procedures. The team analyzed the audio and artifacts created during the workshop and synthesized their findings to inform the creation of the MEDiC kit.

Results

The workshop activities uncovered barriers to successful completion of the decolonization and hygiene procedures: lack of step-by-step instruction, lack of proper tools in the home, concerns about adverse events, lack of control over some aspects of the hygiene procedures, and general difficulty coordinating all the procedures. Many of these could be addressed as part of the MEDiC kit. In addition, the workshop revealed that effective communication about decolonization would have to address concerns about the effects of bleach, provide detailed information, give reasons for the specific decolonization and hygiene protocol steps, and include step-by-step instructions (preferably through video).

Conclusions

Through direct engagement with patients and families, we were able to better understand how to support families in implementing MRSA decolonization and hygiene protocols. In addition, we were able to better understand how to communicate about MRSA decolonization and hygiene protocols. With this knowledge, we created a robust toolkit that uses patient-driven language and visuals to help support patients and families through the implementation of these protocols.

Peer-to-Peer Social Media as an Effective Prevention Strategy: Quasi-Experimental Evaluation
Authors: Evans William , Andrade Elizabeth , Pratt Michaela , Mottern Alexandra , Chavez Sergio , Calzetta-Raymond Anthony , Gu Jiayan
Published: February 2020

Background

Substance use by adolescents remains to be at unacceptably high levels, and there is evidence that teens’ social norms are becoming more favorable toward recreational use and perceived safety of substances such as marijuana and prescription opioids. Social media offer a low-cost, potentially high-impact approach to disseminate prevention messages.

Objective

Living the Example (LTE) is a program that trains adolescent youth ambassadors to develop and disseminate prevention messages within their own social media networks and through in-school activities. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of exposure to LTE-based social media on students in the youth ambassadors’ networks.

Methods

The George Washington (GW) University designed and implemented a quasi-experimental evaluation of the LTE program in 3 Maryland high schools. Before program launch, a sample of 826 students (wave 1) at the 3 schools, drawn from a census of freshmen enrolled in a class attended by all students at the grade level, completed a survey. A total of 584 students were surveyed at the wave 2 program midpoint and 542 at the wave 3 endpoint. The survey contained questions on drug use–related attitudes, beliefs, intentions, and behaviors, all based on validated measures. We evaluated the effects of LTE on the intended next 30-day drug use, and controlling for LTE self-reported exposure, age, and gender from waves 2 and 3 was appended into a single dataset. We first conducted ordinal logistic regressions for each drug use intention in wave 3 (ie, sell or distribute illegal drugs, smoke cigarettes, drink beer/wine/hard liquor when parents do not know about it, use marijuana, use lysergic acid diethylamide, cocaine, amphetamines or other illegal drugs, use heroin, use synthetic drugs, and use any prescription pills without a prescription) to examine the association between LTE exposure and drug use intentions. We included an interaction term for the study wave to examine intervention effects.

Results

We found a significant positive effect of LTE exposure on all 8 measured drug use intentions: sell/distribute illegal drugs; smoke cigarettes; drink beer, wine, or liquor when my parents do not know about it; use marijuana; use cocaine, amphetamines, or other illegal drug; use heroin; use synthetic drugs; use any prescription pills without a prescription (all P<.05; odds ratios ranging from 2.12 to 3.71). We also found that boys were more likely than girls to exhibit reduced drug use intentions. We also found reductions in 30-day intentions between the second and third survey waves for all 8 measured drug use variables.

Conclusions

Overall, the results are consistent with and indicate a stronger LTE effect in this study compared with a previous pilot study. LTE appears to offer a protective effect, with exposure to program messages leading to reduced/improved drug use intentions.
The Model of Gamification Principles for Digital Health Interventions: Evaluation of Validity and Potential Utility
Authors: Floryan Mark , Chow Philip I , Schueller Stephen M , Ritterband Lee M
Published: February 2020

Background

Although gamification continues to be a popular approach to increase engagement, motivation, and adherence to behavioral interventions, empirical studies have rarely focused on this topic. There is a need to empirically evaluate gamification models to increase the understanding of how to integrate gamification into interventions.

Objective

The model of gamification principles for digital health interventions proposes a set of five independent yet interrelated gamification principles. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of this model to inform its use in Web- and mobile-based apps.

Methods

A total of 17 digital health interventions were selected from a curated website of mobile- and Web-based apps (PsyberGuide), which makes independent and unbiased ratings on various metrics. A total of 133 independent raters trained in gamification evaluation techniques were instructed to evaluate the apps and rate the degree to which gamification principles are present. Multiple ratings (n≥20) were collected for each of the five gamification principles within each app. Existing measures, including the PsyberGuide credibility score, mobile app rating scale (MARS), and the app store rating of each app were collected, and their relationship with the gamification principle scores was investigated.

Results

Apps varied widely in the degree of gamification implemented (ie, the mean gamification rating ranged from 0.17≤m≤4.65 out of 5). Inter-rater reliability of gamification scores for each app was acceptable (κ≥0.5). There was no significant correlation between any of the five gamification principles and the PsyberGuide credibility score (P≥.49 in all cases). Three gamification principles (supporting player archetypes, feedback, and visibility) were significantly correlated with the MARS score, whereas three principles (meaningful purpose, meaningful choice, and supporting player archetypes) were significantly correlated with the app store rating. One gamification principle was statistically significant with both the MARS and the app store rating (supporting player archetypes).

Conclusions

Overall, the results support the validity and potential utility of the model of gamification principles for digital health interventions. As expected, there was some overlap between several gamification principles and existing app measures (eg, MARS). However, the results indicate that the gamification principles are not redundant with existing measures and highlight the potential utility of a 5-factor gamification model structure in digital behavioral health interventions. These gamification principles may be used to improve user experience and enhance engagement with digital health programs.
An Informatics Framework to Assess Consumer Health Language Complexity Differences: Proof-of-Concept Study
Authors: Yu Biyang , He Zhe , Xing Aiwen , Lustria Mia Liza A
Published: February 2020

Background

The language gap between health consumers and health professionals has been long recognized as the main hindrance to effective health information comprehension. Although providing health information access in consumer health language (CHL) is widely accepted as the solution to the problem, health consumers are found to have varying health language preferences and proficiencies. To simplify health documents for heterogeneous consumer groups, it is important to quantify how CHLs are different in terms of complexity among various consumer groups.

Objective

This study aimed to propose an informatics framework (consumer health language complexity [CHELC]) to assess the complexity differences of CHL using syntax-level, text-level, term-level, and semantic-level complexity metrics. Specifically, we identified 8 language complexity metrics validated in previous literature and combined them into a 4-faceted framework. Through a rank-based algorithm, we developed unifying scores (CHELC scores [CHELCS]) to quantify syntax-level, text-level, term-level, semantic-level, and overall CHL complexity. We applied CHELCS to compare posts of each individual on online health forums designed for (1) the general public, (2) deaf and hearing-impaired people, and (3) people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Methods

We examined posts with more than 4 sentences of each user from 3 health forums to understand CHL complexity differences among these groups: 12,560 posts from 3756 users in Yahoo! Answers, 25,545 posts from 1623 users in AllDeaf, and 26,484 posts from 2751 users in Wrong Planet. We calculated CHELCS for each user and compared the scores of 3 user groups (ie, deaf and hearing-impaired people, people with ASD, and the public) through 2-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests and analysis of covariance tests.

Results

The results suggest that users in the public forum used more complex CHL, particularly more diverse semantics and more complex health terms compared with users in the ASD and deaf and hearing-impaired user forums. However, between the latter 2 groups, people with ASD used more complex words, and deaf and hearing-impaired users used more complex syntax.

Conclusions

Our results show that the users in 3 online forums had significantly different CHL complexities in different facets. The proposed framework and detailed measurements help to quantify these CHL complexity differences comprehensively. The results emphasize the importance of tailoring health-related content for different consumer groups with varying CHL complexities.
Parent Perspectives on Family-Centered Pediatric Electronic Consultations: Qualitative Study
Authors: Verma Rhea , Krishnamurti Tamar , Ray Kristin N
Published: February 2020

Background

Electronic consultations, which use store-and-forward transfer of clinical information between a primary care physician and a specialist, improve access to specialty care. Adoption of electronic consultations is beginning in pediatric health care systems, but little is known about parent perspectives, informational needs, and preferences for interaction with this new model of care.

Objective

This study aimed to examine parent perspectives about electronic consultations, including perceived benefits and risks, anticipated informational needs, and preferences for parent engagement with electronic consultations.

Methods

We recruited caregivers of pediatric patients (aged 0-21 years) attending visits at an academic primary care center. Caregivers were eligible if their child had ever been referred for in-person specialty care. Caregivers participated in a semistructured interview about electronic consultations, including general perspectives, desired information, and preferences for parental engagement. Interviews were transcribed and qualitatively analyzed to identify parent perspectives on electronic consultations in general, information parents would like to receive about electronic consultations, and perspectives on opportunities to enhance parent engagement with electronic consultations.

Results

Interviewees (n=20) anticipated that electronic consultations would reduce the time burden of specialty care on families and that these had the potential to improve the integrity and availability of clinical information, but interviewees also expressed concern about data confidentiality. The most detailed information desired by interviewees about electronic consultations related to data security, including data confidentiality, availability, and integrity. Interviewees expressed concern that electronic consultations could exclude parents from their child’s health care decisions. Interviewees saw value in the potential ability to track the consultation status or to participate in the consultation dialogue, but they were more ambivalent about the idea of read-only access to consultation documentation.

Conclusions

Parents identified the potential risks and benefits of pediatric electronic consultations, with implications for communication with families about electronic consultations and for incorporation of features to enhance parent engagement.

Authors: Brandão Thiago , Murad Mauricio , Belmont Rachel , Santos Roberto Ferreira dos
Published: February 2020

A violência entre torcedores de futebol é um problema de segurança pública no Brasil. O propósito deste estudo é contribuir para o debate que relaciona o consumo de álcool e a violência entre torcedores de futebol. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa-quantitativa, cujos dados foram obtidos por meio de análise documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas, observações e teste AUDIT. Dois grupos de dez torcedores homens, maiores de idade, participaram do estudo. Estatísticas de segurança apontam que ocorrências policiais diminuíram após a proibição da venda e consumo de álcool em estádios brasileiros. O álcool e outras drogas (ilícitas) são mais consumidos fora dos estádios por grupos de torcedores violentos. Segundo o protocolo AUDIT, 50% dos torcedores submetidos ao teste apresentaram consumo de alto risco e 10%, provável dependência. Portanto, o consumo de álcool pode ser um importante agente desencadeador de violências no futebol e por isso merece atenção e políticas públicas adequadas.

Published: February 2020

Este artigo se desdobra de investigação documental vinculada a uma pesquisa multifocal e interinstitucional. Inscrita nos campos dos Estudos de Gênero, dos Estudos Culturais e da Saúde Coletiva, dialoga com a teorização foucaultiana, na qual se problematizaram políticas de prevenção ao HIV/aids que orientam ações programáticas implementadas no Brasil e no Rio Grande do Sul no período de 2007 a 2016. Neste recorte privilegia-se a análise de processos de significação cultural que articulam múltiplos, variados e, por vezes, contraditórios sentidos ao termo ‘enfrentamento’ utilizado em textos normativos, nacionais e estaduais, e alguns de seus desdobramentos. Essa análise, realizada na perspectiva da análise cultural, possibilitou descrever e discutir como tais sentidos de enfrentamento se conectam com possibilidades de ser e de viver como mulher em tempos de aids.

En este trabajo, un cemento alcalino con base en metacaolín colombiano (MK) es desarrollado. Los activadores usados: 15 % en masa de Na2SiO3 y Na(OH) y Ca(OH)2 se variaron en diferentes concentraciones molares siguiendo un diseño experimental estadístico con modelo de superficie de respuesta. La variable respuesta, resistencia mecánica a compresión, se evaluó en especímenes de pasta cilíndricos a 7 y 14 días de curado a 40 °C. Los ensayos de difracción de rayos X identificaron las fases mineralógicas y cementantes presentes en la pasta producto de la síntesis alcalina.Los resultados analizados mediante software estadísticos permitieron, a través de la ANOVA, identificar un alto nivel de significancia en el factor Na(OH) así como el efecto creciente en la variable respuesta, mientras que el Ca(OH)2 presentó un efecto de curvatura en la región explorada. Las resistencias mecánicas logradas del orden de 34 MPa dan cuenta de la formación de fases cementantes al igual que la presencia de zeolitas tipo A (Na2Al2Si11,85O7,7 5,1(H2O)) en los resultados DRX.

Depression has become one of the most common mental illnesses in the past decade, affecting millions of patients and their families. However, the methods of diagnosing depression almost exclusively rely on questionnaire-based interviews and clinical judgments of symptom severity, which are highly dependent on doctors’ experience and makes it a labor-intensive work. This research work aims to develop an objective and convenient method to assist depression detection using facial features as well as textual features. Most of the people conceal their depression from everyone. So, an automated system is required that will pick out them who are dealing with depression. In this research, different research work focused for detecting depression are discussed and a hybrid approach is developed for detecting depression using facial as well as textual features. The main purpose of this research work is to design and propose a hybrid system of combining the effect of three effective models: Natural Language Processing, Stacked Deep Auto Encoder with Random forest (RF) classifier and fuzzy logic based on multi-feature depression detection system. According to literature several fingerprint as well as fingervein recognition system are designed that uses various techniques in order to reduce false detection rate and to enhance the performance of the system. A comparative study of different recognition technique along with their limitations is also summarized and optimum approach is proposed which may enhance the performance of the system. The result analysis shows that the developed technique significantly advantages over existing methods.

Authors: Doutor Catarina Sofia , Alves Natália
Published: February 2020

A entrada no ensino superior é, para muitos estudantes, um acontecimento biográfico complexo, que institui uma rotura nos seus cursos de vida. A complexidade deste acontecimento é ainda maior quando falamos de estudantes provenientes dos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa (PALOP) no ensino superior em Portugal. Neste artigo, focar-nos-emos nas conquistas e desafios académicos dos estudantes dos PALOP no ensino superior. Foram, assim, realizadas entrevistas biográficas a um conjunto de estudantes que frequenta o 1º ano da licenciatura na Universidade de Lisboa. Os estudantes enfatizam o acréscimo de responsabilidade, de maturidade e de autonomia quer na aprendizagem, quer face aos seus familiares. Todavia, os estudantes deparam-se com um sistema de ensino diferente, a ausência de estruturas de apoio, a constatação de um fraco domínio da língua portuguesa, a dificuldade em adotar um método de estudo e o desconhecimento do contexto português em algumas unidades curriculares.
Competências interculturais na educação superior
Authors: Clemente Fabiane Aparecida Santos , Morosini Marilia Costa
Published: February 2020

Um dos desafios da educação superior no Brasil é buscar compreender a complexidade do contexto “emergente”.  Isso inclui um repensar sobre conceitos latentes, entre eles, o de competências interculturais. Esse texto busca trazer uma reflexão sobre o desenvolvimento de competências interculturais na educação superior brasileira a partir da perspectiva discente. O caminho percorrido se baseou em pesquisa quali-quantitativa, com suporte em questionário, em uma universidade pública da Amazônia. Os resultados apontam para a predominância do conceito de competência como input (PARRY, 1996) e a interculturalidade funcional (WALSH, 2009), mesmo que não seja com ações ou modelos sistematizados. Destaca-se a necessidade de institucionalização de ações que visam o desenvolvimento de competências interculturais na educação superior, envolvendo os atores desse contexto e a importância de difusão do conceito.
COMPORTAMIENTO A FLEXIÓN DE VIGAS DE MADERA REUTILIZADA UNIDA CON BAMBÚ (Guadua angustifolia kunth) PARA USO ESTRUCTURAL
Authors: Guerra Riaño Andres Felipe
Published: February 2020

En esta investigación se estudió el comportamiento mecánico de vigas compuestas por piezas de madera reutilizada obtenida en procesos de deconstrucción unidas con láminas de Guadua angustifolia kunth en la parte superior e inferior mediante el sistema de encolado prensado estructural, confinando la madera y asumiendo los mayores esfuerzos de tracción y compresión producidos por la flexión y el cortante. Para este propósito se realizaron ensayos según las normas ASTM D198 y NTC5279 que permitieron hallar parámetros mecánicos como el esfuerzo máximo de las fibras de Guadua angustifolia kunth en el límite proporcional, el módulo de rotura, el módulo de elasticidad y la ductilidad al desplazamiento. Como resultado se pudo determinar que el comportamiento mecánico del sistema no está en función de la densidad de las piezas de madera, el contenido de humedad y tamaño, sino de la resistencia mecánica de las fibras de Guadua angustifolia kunth y la calidad de la línea de adhesivo. Así mismo se pudo determinar que las vigas tienen un comportamiento dúctil antes de llegar a la falla.Palabras claves. Madera reutilizada, bambú, Guadua angustifolia kunth, vigas, construcción, sostenibilidad, deconstrucción.

Considerando el aumento de la variedad de galletas con propiedades saludables, el uso de harina y fibra de brotes de bambú puede satisfacer la demanda de nuevos productos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue elaborar y evaluar las características tecnológicas de galletas tipo Cookie con y sin chocolate (GC), con fibras de brotes de bambú (FBB). Fueron elaboradas cinco formulaciones: un control (C0) sin adición de FBB y GC; C1, (15% GC); C2, (10% FBB), C3, (15% GC, 10% FBB); y C4, (15% GC, 10% FBB y 25% reducción de grasa). Los ingredientes fueron mezclados, la masa laminada, cortada (h=5 mm y ø=5 cm), y horneada a 160ºC durante 8 minutos. La adición de FBB con GC, así como la reducción del contenido de grasa, disminuyeron la difusión de la masa durante el horneado. Las galletas con fibras (C1 y C4) presentaron una coloración más clara (L=60.31±1.99) y mayor dureza en comparación al control (27.00±2.29). Las fibras de brotes de bambú demostraron tener potencial para ser utilizadas en formulación de galletas, permitiendo reducir el % de grasa, mejorando sus características nutricionales a la vez que satisface la demanda de productos más saludables.

The need to provide 3D modeling distance learning in the child supplementary education system is de-termined by its growing popularity among school students and the importance of promoting tech-niques focused on the development of students’ spatial and project-related abilities. On the one hand, 3D modeling distance learning arrangements proposed by the authors bring maximum benefit to distance learning technologies. On the other hand, these arrangements minimize the differences be-tween full-time and distance learning. It is conclud-ed that distance learning should be provided as a real-time process based on video conferencing inte-grated into the LMS. The authors make a set of prac-tical recommendations on effective teacher-student interaction in a distance learning system. The rec-ommendations are based on the analysis of pilot distance groups who take a course in the Basics of 3D Modeling at the Children and Youth Computer Center of the Saint Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics.
