Análise comparativa da curva de viscosidade e do índice de fluidez de dois grades de polipropileno utilizando reometria capilar
Authors: Silva Agmar José de Jesus
Published: August 2020

Neste artigo, dois diferentes graus de polipropileno, denominados de PP01 e PP02, foram recebidos como proposta de trabalho experimental em uma disciplina do curso de especialização em processamento de plásticos e borrachas do IMA/UFRJ. Tal proposta questionou como os autores poderiam determinar a melhor técnica de processamento para cada polímero utilizando apenas conceitos de reometria capilar. Para tal, os polímeros foram avaliados comparativamente em relação aos perfis de suas curvas de viscosidade e ao índice de fluidez (IF ou MFI), com o intuito de avaliar a dependência da viscosidade e do MFI frente à relação estrutura e propriedades desses materiais. Em particular, a medida indireta do peso molecular (prevista pelo valor do MFI) foi utilizada como parâmetro de comparação do comportamento em fluxo dos materiais. Observou-se que ambos os polipropilenos apresentaram uma curva de viscosidade composta apenas pelo platô de região não newtoniana, evidenciando um forte regime de pseudoplasticidade. Adicionalmente, foi possível notar que a curva de viscosidade do PP02 assumiu valores superiores em relação ao PP01 (60,4 a 1924,7 Pa.s contra 50,3 a 1435 Pa.s, respectivamente), implicando a geração de tensões cisalhantes também superiores em relação ao PP01 (1,7 x 105 a 2,2 x 104 Pa contra 1,4 x 105 a 1,6 x 104 Pa, respectivamente). Quando viscosidade e MFI foram comparados conjuntamente, constatou-se que o PP01 apresentou MFI maior (20,52 ± 5,64 g/10min com pistão de 5 kg ou 4,24 ± 0,15 g/10min com pistão de 2,16 kg) e, portanto, viscosidade menor em relação ao PP02 (MFI de 12,84 ± 1,72 g/10min com pistão de 5 kg ou 2,72 ± 0,20 g/10min com pistão de 2,16 kg). Os resultados de MFI foram coerentes com os perfis das curvas de viscosidade, sugerindo um maior peso molecular para o PP02 comparativamente ao PP01. Dessa forma, a técnica sugerida para o processamento do PP02 foi extrusão, enquanto para o PP01, moldagem por injeção.

InconstItucIonalidad del Decreto de Urgencia N.º 016-2020
Authors: Yangali Iparraguirre Gino Ernesto
Published: August 2020

El objeto del presente trabajo será advertir al lector sobre las diversas contradicciones en que ha incurrido el Poder Ejecutivo y su entidad promotora (Autoridad Nacional del Servicio Civil [SERVIR]), al condicionar indebidamente las funciones, potestades jurisdiccionales y la interpretación que debe hacer el Poder Judicial sobre las pretensiones de reconocimiento de una relación laboral a plazo indeterminado, la reposición al puesto de trabajo y la indemnización por daños y perjuicios. Este problema se origina al no tomarse en cuenta que existen diversos servidores públicos que no se encuentran ubicados dentro de los alcances propios del precedente Huatuco Huatuco, ya que han sido excluidos a través de diversas interpretaciones realizadas por la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la República y por el propio Tribunal Constitucional (sobre lo cual se detallará más adelante).

Por consiguiente, es necesario que toda la comunidad jurídica reflexione sobre la constitucionalidad del Decreto de Urgencia n.º 016-2020, en tanto que la limitación del mandato de reposición, su admisión legislativa previa, la reconducción de la pretensión y la prohibición de acumulación se encontrarían contraviniendo diversos derechos fundamentales, tales como la protección adecuada contra el despido arbitrario, la cosa juzgada, la tutela jurisdiccional efectiva, el acceso a la justicia y la interdicción de la arbitrariedad.
Problemática en la no cuantificación de las pretensiones dinerarias en la Nueva Ley Procesal del Trabajo
Authors: Bulnes Alegría Iván
Published: August 2020

La Nueva Ley Procesal del Trabajo ha promovido los principios de oralidad y economía procesal, pero surge un problema cuando se expresan pretensiones de tipo dinerario sin manifestar el monto de estas. Este escenario descrito motiva una situación de ambigüedad que permite al demandado formular una «excepción», y, con ello, demorar el proceso por un descuido del demandante. En este trabajo se propone que el demandante se vea obligado a cuantificar el monto requerido en la audiencia pertinente, para así permitir al demandado conocer oportunamente dicho monto y no perjudicar su derecho de defensa.
Indonesia’s Export-Import Analisys: Granger Causality Approach
Authors: Syaparuddin Syaparuddin
Published: August 2020

In a global economy context, the role of export-import becomes really important in supporting economic growth. An interesting phenomenon is that,  most of  Indonesian export are import-content and capital goods.

This study is aimed at (1) analyzing Indonesia’s export-import patterns, (2) analyzing causality relationship between export and import in Indonesia. Analysis method used in this research is Granger Causality model. The result of study shows that the patters of the progress and the changes of Indonesia’s export and import have similar patters since 1980-2015. Those have causality relationship which indicate that export and import are mutual dependence.

The conclusion of the research is that when Indonesia’s export would be increased so import should also be increased. On the other hand, the increasing of import must also be preceded by the increasing in export.

Authors: Bonatti Rodrigo S. , Meyer Yuri A. , Padilha Giovana S. , Bortolozo Ausdinir D. , Osório Wislei R.
Published: August 2020

This study is focused on the evaluation of the electrochemical behavior of three distinct Alp/Sip composites (i.e., 2.5 wt%, 5.0 wt%, and 7.5 wt% Si). In contrast to the stirring casting process, the composites are produced using both Al and Si powders (i.e., mixing, compacting, and sintering). The samples are immersed in a stagnant and naturally aerated biodiesel + ethanol blend, using lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) as a supporting electrolyte, at 25°C. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy diagrams and equivalent circuits are analyzed and discussed. The densification levels and Si content affect the corrosion resistance responses. A “recovery” in the corrosion behavior in terms of impedance parameters of Al/7.5 Si composite is attained.
What determines the sign of the evapotranspiration response to afforestation in the European summer?
Authors: Breil Marcus , Davin Edouard L. , Rechid Diana
Published: August 2020

Abstract. Uncertainties in the evapotranspiration response to afforestation constitute a major source of disagreement between model-based studies of the potential climate benefits of forests. Forests typically have higher evapotranspiration rates than grassland in the tropics, but whether this is also the case in the mid-latitudes is still debated. To explore this question and the underlying physical processes behind these varying evapotranspiration rates of forests and grasslands in more detail, a regional model study with idealized afforestation scenarios was performed for Europe. In the first experiment Europe was maximally forested and in the second one, all forests were turned into grassland. The results of this modelling study exhibit the same contradicting evapotranspiration characteristics of forests and grasslands as documented in observational studies. But by means of an additional sensitivity simulation, in which the surface roughness of forest was reduced to grassland, the mechanisms behind these varying evapotranspiration rates could be revealed. Due to the higher surface roughness of a forest, solar radiation is more efficiently transformed into turbulent sensible heat fluxes, leading to lower surface temperatures (top of vegetation) than in grassland. The saturation deficit between the vegetation and the atmosphere, which depends on the surface temperature, is consequently reduced over forests. This reduced saturation deficit counteracts the transpiration facilitating characteristics of a forest (deeper roots, a higher LAI and lower albedo values than grassland). If the impact of the reduced saturation deficit exceeds the effects of the transpiration facilitating characteristics of a forest, evapotranspiration is reduced compared to grassland. If not, evapotranspiration rates of forests are higher. The interplay of these two counteracting factors depends on the latitude and the prevailing forest type in a region.
Emergent constraints on transient climate response (TCR) and equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) from historical warming in CMIP5 and CMIP6 models
Authors: Nijsse Femke J. M. M. , Cox Peter M. , Williamson Mark S.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. Climate sensitivity to CO2 remains the key uncertainty in projections of future climate change. Transient climate response (TCR) is the metric of temperature sensitivity that is most relevant to warming in the next few decades and contributes the biggest uncertainty to estimates of the carbon budgets consistent with the Paris targets. Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is vital for understanding longer-term climate change and stabilisation targets. In the IPCC 5th Assessment Report (AR5), the stated “likely” ranges (16 %–84 % confidence) of TCR (1.0–2.5 K) and ECS (1.5–4.5 K) were broadly consistent with the ensemble of CMIP5 Earth system models (ESMs) available at the time. However, many of the latest CMIP6 ESMs have larger climate sensitivities, with 5 of 34 models having TCR values above 2.5 K and an ensemble mean TCR of 2.0±0.4 K. Even starker, 12 of 34 models have an ECS value above 4.5 K. On the face of it, these latest ESM results suggest that the IPCC likely ranges may need revising upwards, which would cast further doubt on the feasibility of the Paris targets. Here we show that rather than increasing the uncertainty in climate sensitivity, the CMIP6 models help to constrain the likely range of TCR to 1.3–2.1 K, with a central estimate of 1.68 K. We reach this conclusion through an emergent constraint approach which relates the value of TCR linearly to the global warming from 1975 onwards. This is a period when the signal-to-noise ratio of the net radiative forcing increases strongly, so that uncertainties in aerosol forcing become progressively less problematic. We find a consistent emergent constraint on TCR when we apply the same method to CMIP5 models. Our constraints on TCR are in good agreement with other recent studies which analysed CMIP ensembles. The relationship between ECS and the post-1975 warming trend is less direct and also non-linear. However, we are able to derive a likely range of ECS of 1.9–3.4 K from the CMIP6 models by assuming an underlying emergent relationship based on a two-box energy balance model. Despite some methodological differences; this is consistent with a previously published ECS constraint derived from warming trends in CMIP5 models to 2005. Our results seem to be part of a growing consensus amongst studies that have applied the emergent constraint approach to different model ensembles and to different aspects of the record of global warming.
A Framework for Automatic Calibration of SWMM Considering Input Uncertainty
Authors: Gao Xichao , Yang Zhiyong , Han Dawei , Huang Guoru , Zhu Qian
Published: August 2020

Abstract. A new Bayesian framework for automatic calibration of SWMM, which simultaneously considers both parameter uncertainty and input uncertainty, was developed. The framework coupled an optimization algorithm DREAM and the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) by newly developed API functions used to obtain and adjust parameter values of the model. Besides, a rainfall error model was integrated into the framework to consider systematic rainfall errors. A case study in Guangzhou, China was conducted to demonstrate the use of the framework. The calibration capability of the framework was tested and the impacts of rainfall uncertainty on model parameter estimations and simulated runoff boundaries were identified in the study area. the results show that calibration considering both parameter uncertainty and rainfall uncertainty captures peak flow much better and is more robust in terms of the Nash Sutcliffe index than that only considering parameter uncertainty.
LOW-COST UAS PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR ROAD INFRASTRUCTURES’ INSPECTION
Authors: Pinto L. , Bianchini F. , Nova V. , Passoni D.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. All over the world, road infrastructures are getting closer to their life cycle and need to be constantly inspected: a consistent number of bridges are structurally deficient, and the risk of collapse can no longer be excluded. In contrast with the past, the interest in structure durability has recently grown rapidly. In order to make bridges durable, it is necessary to carry out ordinary maintenance, preceded by inspection activities, which can be traditionally divided in two categories: destructive and non-destructive (NDT). All the NDT inspections (visual, IR thermography, GPR) can be conducted by using UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems), a technology that makes bridges inspections quicker, cheaper, objective and repeatable. This study presents the visual inspection and survey of two bridges by using a UAS DJI Mavic 2 Pro, equipped with a 20Mpixel Hasselblad camera that records 60fps 4K video and a 10bit radiometric resolution. Starting from the acquired data, a 3D model of each structure was built by using Structure from Motion (SfM) principles and software. To validate the two models, each of them characterized by a centimetric accuracy, the UAS camera generated cloud of points and was co-registered with the point cloud of a terrestrial laser-scanner using Ground Control Points (GCPs). To make this, CloudCompare comparison software was used; the plugin M3C2 automatically calculates the distance between the points of two compared clouds. Finally, some general rules concerning the UAS main characteristics for inspection of bridges and software for data processing are proposed.
UAV AND CLOSE-RANGE PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO SUPPORT GEO-MECHANICAL ANALYSIS IN SAFETY ROAD MANAGEMENT: THE “VALLONE D’ELVA” ROAD

Published: August 2020

Abstract. In the last decades, the development of geomatics and geomechanics techniques integration in the environmental field permits to obtain more detailed and accurate results, reducing the survey costs. The aim of the present work was aimed to apply these innovative combined methods and techniques in order to gain a detailed analysis of landslide hazard and on the stability condition of rocky slopes, to get useful information for subsequent design and feasibility planning of Vallone d’Elva road. During two different surveys period, geostructural surveys were carried out in situ (i.e. spatial orientation of discontinuity planes, their spacing and persistence), associated with geomatics surveys using drones (UAV technique – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and terrestrial photogrammetric technique to get high-resolution images of the rockwalls along the road in areas with complex orography and inaccessible. Their data processing has allowed the generation of different kind of data at different scales, like some 3D dense point clouds with a huge definition, which have been used to generate three-dimensional surfaces models. This procedure has allowed obtaining DSM (Digital Surface Model), DTMs (Digital Terrain Models) and orthophotos with centimetre resolution (mean 4 cm). Moreover, to identify the geomechanical rockmasses features, have been computed a new photogrammetric product on 16 specific rockwall sites along the road: “vertical orthophotos”, with details of few mm. Besides, over then twenty detailed DTMs of rockwalls along the entire road have been generated to measure plane orientation, spacing and other geometrical characteristics of outcropping rock masses, which have been statistically collected and analysed.

Published: August 2020

Abstract. The use of high-resolution digital terrain model derived from airborne LiDAR system becomes more and more prevalent. Effective multi-scale structure characterization is of crucial importance for various domains such as geosciences, archaeology and Earth observation. This paper deals with structure detection in large datasets with little or no prior knowledge. In a recent work, we have demonstrated the relevance of hierarchical representations to enhance the description of digital elevation models (Guiotte et al., 2019). In this paper, we proceed further and use the pattern spectrum, a multi-scale tool originating from mathematical morphology, further enhanced by hierarchical representations. The pattern spectra allow to globally and efficiently compute the distribution of size and shapes of the objects contained in a digital elevation model. The tree-based pattern spectra used in this paper allowed us to analyse and extract features of interest. We report experiments in a natural environment with two use cases, related to gold panning and dikes respectively. The process is fast enough to allow interactive analysis.

Abstract. Multispectral images were acquired by a camera on board an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) over two apple orchards in Prince Edward Island in summer 2016. A method was developed to automatically detect rows of planted trees and trees in each row using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) image and its related entropy and variance images. The image-based tree position was then compared to the actual tree location measured in the field. We achieved an accuracy of 93% between the estimated and measured number of trees in both orchards.
OBJECT DETECTION IN UAV-BORNE THERMAL IMAGES USING BOUNDARY-AWARE SALIENCY MAPS
Authors: Li M. , Zhao X. , Li J. , Zhu D.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a method of object detection based on thermal images acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Compared with visible images, thermal images have lower requirements for illumination conditions, but they have some problems, such as blurred edges and low contrast. To address these problems, we propose to use the saliency map of thermal images for image enhancement as the attention mechanism of the object detector. In the paper, the YOLOv3 network is trained as a detection benchmark and BASNet is used to generate saliency maps from the thermal images. We fuse the thermal images with their corresponding saliency maps through the pixel-level weighted fusion method. Experiment results tested on real data have shown that the proposed method could realize the task of object detection in UAV-borne thermal images. The statistical results show that the average precisions (AP) of pedestrians and vehicles are increased by 4.5% and 2.6% respectively, compared with the benchmark of the YOLOv3 model trained on only the thermal images. The proposed model provides reliable technical support for the application of thermal images with UAV platforms.
END-TO-END BUILDING CHANGE DETECTION MODEL IN AERIAL IMAGERY AND DIGITAL SURFACE MODEL BASED ON NEURAL NETWORKS

Published: August 2020

Abstract. Multi-temporal building change detection is one of the most essential major issues of photogrammetry and remote sensing at current stage, which is of great significance for wide applications as offering real estate indicators as well as monitoring urban environment. Although current photogrammetry methodologies could be applicated to 2-D remote sensing imagery for rectification with sensor parameters, multi-temporal aerial or satellite imagery is not adequate to offer spectral and textual features for building change detection. Alongside recent development of Dense Image Matching (DIM) technology, the acquisition of 3-D point cloud and Digital Surface Model (DSM) has been generally realized, which could be combined with imagery, making building change detection more effective with greater spatial structure and texture information. Over the past years, scholars have put forward vast change detection techniques including traditional and model-based solutions. Nevertheless, existing appropriate methodology combined with Neural Networks (NN) for accurate building change detection with multi-temporal imagery and DSM remains to be of great research focus currently due to the inevitable limitations and omissions of existing NN-based methods, which is of great research prospect. This study proposed a novel end-to-end model framework based on deep learning for pixel-level building change detection from high-spatial resolution aerial ortho imagery and corresponding DSM sharing same resolution, which is from the dataset of Tokyo whole area.

Abstract. The aim of this work is to develop a geospatial methodology for the analysis of the time evolution of The Turrialba volcano using different automatic imaging techniques compared to expert-based remote sensing techniques. Change detection of hydrothermal alteration materials in relation with time series from multisensor data acquired in spectral ranges of the visible (VIS) and short wave infrared (SWIR) have been calculated. We used for this purpose multispectral and hyperspectral scenes of the Sentinel 2, ALI and Hyperion sensors, respectively, on four dates from 2013 and 2018. This work adopts a multi-source approach, applied to the analysis of the correlations between hydrothermal materials and spectral anomalies in The Turrialba volcano complex, located in The Central Volcanic Range (Costa Rica).An expert-based technique called Crosta’s technique for detecting hydrothermal materials have been applied. We have chosen four variables for generating a different Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for groups of channels, two highly reflective and two highly absorptive for each mineral. We have tested another technique to detect hydrothermal materials based on a discrete spectral profile analysis and an unsupervised data mining approach. In other sense, we have applied an automatic technique called anomaly detection to compare with the hydrothermal materials results. Results are presented as an approach based on a comparison of two different strategies whose main future interest lies in the automated identification of patterns of hydrothermally altered materials without prior knowledge or poor information about the area, which has relevant implications in image-based prospecting.

Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to show how deep learning techniques, based on CNNs, can contribute to photogrammetry process to perform geometric inspections of risers on offshore platforms. The photogrammetry process has a problematic related to the relative movements presented in the scene where the images are being acquired (dynamic photogrammetry). As an alternative solution, this work proposes the use of the YOLOv2 architecture, because this detector complies with some requirements of speed and good performance considering the functional requisites of the study executed. Thus, the purpose of this model is to detect risers and i-tubes on offshore platforms, then extract an inspection riser from the scene. Finally, with the images obtained, a 3D reconstruction is performed, followed by the results’ analyses.

Abstract. A decline in Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strength has been observed between 2004 and 2012 by the RAPID array with this weakened state of the AMOC persisting until 2017. Climate model and paleo-oceanographic research suggests that the AMOC may have been declining for decades or even centuries before this, however direct observations are sparse prior to 2004, giving only snapshots of the overturning circulation. Previous studies have used linear models based on upper layer temperature anomalies to extend AMOC estimates back in time, however these ignore changes in the deep circulation that are beginning to emerge in the observations of AMOC decline. Here we develop a higher fidelity empirical model of AMOC variability based on RAPID data, and associated physically with changes in thickness of the persistent upper, intermediate and deep water masses at 26° N and associated transports. We applied historical hydrographic data to the empirical model to create an AMOC time series extending from 1981 to 2016. Increasing the resolution of the observed AMOC to approximately annual shows multi-annual variability in agreement with RAPID observations, and that the downturn between 2008 and 2012 was the weakest AMOC since the mid-1980s. However, the time series shows no overall AMOC decline as indicated by other proxies and high resolution climate models. Our results reinforce that adequately capturing changes to the deep circulation is key to detecting any anthropogenic climate change-related AMOC decline.
Presencias y ausencias del padre durante el proceso de enfermedad y recuperación de su hijo: un estudio de caso
Authors: Soriano Chavero Montserrat , Salguero Velázquez María Alejandra
Published: August 2020

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar las presencias y ausencias que vive un padre joven durante el proceso de enfermedad y recuperación de un hijo. Integrando una investigación cualitativa en su tradición de estudio de caso, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados muestran que la enfermedad de un hijo es un evento que somete a altos niveles de estrés y cansancio a las parejas. Construyendo presencias relacionadas al cuidado de los hijos, pero ausencias en torno a la relación de pareja, pues existen dificultades para negociar tiempos, economía y cambios o transformaciones en los roles y dinámica familiar. En México son escasas las políticas públicas que fomenten la participación de los hombres en el cuidado de sus hijos enfermos, lo que se refleja en la poca capacidad de las instituciones de Salud Pública para incluirlos como parte del núcleo familiar.
Adherencia a principios del manejo del dolor establecidos por la OMS en cirugía mayor electiva.
Authors: Molina Velásquez Javier Isaac , Erazo Salas Susana Patricia
Published: August 2020

Introducción. A partir del sufrimiento por dolor de los pacientes con cáncer, se elaboró el manual “Alivio del dolor en el cáncer” de la OMS que propuso 5 recomendaciones para la analgesia. Se han hecho modificaciones del planteamiento inicial para adaptarse al manejo del dolor agudo el cual va en sentido inverso: de más severo a más leve, pero los principios fundamentales se mantienen. Objetivo. Conocer la adherencia a los principios de la escala analgésica de la OMS en el manejo del dolor postquirúrgico en cirugía electiva en el Hospital Nacional Rosales en el periodo iniciando en abril 2018. Diseño y métodos. Se utilizó un diseño observacional, descriptivo, longitudinal, de concordancia de la indicación analgesia en pacientes de cirugía mayor electiva del Hospital Nacional Rosales desde el 1ero de agosto de 2018.  Se compararon las indicaciones del centro estudiado contra lo ideal según los principios propuestos. Resultados. De 360 pacientes se encontró que la modalidad quirúrgica electiva más utilizada fue ingreso hospitalario 75.3%. 215 (59.7%) pacientes recibieron anestesia general. El índice de concordancia kappa para la adherencia a los principios analgésicos para el manejo del dolor post quirúrgico de la OMS en el Hospital Nacional Rosales fue pobre en los cuatro momentos medidos, con una tasa de adherencia del 0%, y no uso de escala analgésica para evaluar el dolor. Conclusión. En el Hospital Nacional Rosales no se están siguiendo los principios analgésicos de la OMS en el manejo del dolor post quirúrgico.
Mating Affects Lifespan Differently in Two Strains of Pseudo-female Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Lancaster Ruben
Published: August 2020

Mating is vital for sexually reproducing species, yet the ideal mating strategy for males and females can differ. The ensuing conflict between the sexes – namely, sexual conflict – results in a decrease in population level fitness. The degree of sexual conflict can be affected by the behavior, physiology, and life history of a population. Previous studies in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have shown that mating causes lifespan to decrease in pseudo-females and hermaphrodites, which was interpreted as evidence of sexual conflict. However, it is still an open question whether variations in mating condition and strain type can affect the degree of sexual conflict and lifespan decrease. Here, I investigate whether lifespan is affected by mating in conditions other than sex- skewed individual mating scenarios used in previous work. I conducted population-based mating assays in two different strains of C. elegans using both natural and male-skewed sex ratios. Counter to expectations, I found no effect of mating on lifespan in a wild isolate of C. elegans, while virgins from a canonical laboratory strain had a decreased lifespan relative to their counterparts mated in groups. My data offers a counterpoint to the literature, which agrees that mating universally decreases the lifespan of C. elegans pseudo-females and hermaphrodites. These results highlight the flexibility of reproductive costs and the importance of life histories in experimental populations.

The article foregrounds the problem of forming professional culture in the preparation of future lawyers based on the competency-based approach. It also focuses on problems related to its implementation in the educational process of a modern education institution. The research reveals the essence and structure of a future lawyer’s professional culture. Thus, a lawyer’s professional culture is a set of various cultural components (esthetic, legal, informational, economic, and political) and legal rules put forward to a lawyer while performing his/her main functions and professional principles. A questionnaire survey has been carried out to identify students’ attitudes towards a supervisor and his/her impact on forming professional culture. In addition, to diagnose a level of professional culture formation, a psychological study has been conducted based on students’ personal and professional qualities. The research has provided the assessment of socially educational work at the Law Faculty at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. It has been stated that the creation of certain psychological and pedagogical conditions for forming the professional culture of the student youth is one of the priorities of socially educational work at the Faculty. The main forms of socially educational work directed towards forming the professional culture of future lawyers are educational talks, seminars, a case-method, thematic meetings, student conferences, excursions, business and simulations, meetings with experienced practitioners, etc. Besides, the originally designed integrative course entitled “Professional culture of a specialist” has been implemented in the educational process. It uses the main principles of the competency-based approach to training students for their job as a lawyer as well as to demonstrate the main forms, methods, and techniques of working with different subjects. This process required the application of interactive teaching methods. It has been specified that the implementation of the competency-based approach to legal education enables us to determine its substantive content and impact. It provides an adequate standard for the professional culture of future lawyers.
Cartilage Injury in the Knee: Assessment and Treatment Options

Published: August 2020

Cartilage injuries in the knee are common and can occur in isolation or in combination with limb malalignment, meniscus, ligament, and bone deficiencies. Each of these problems must be addressed to achieve a successful outcome for any cartilage restoration procedure. If nonsurgical management fails, surgical treatment is largely based on the size and location of the cartilage defect. Preservation of the patient's native cartilage is preferred if an osteochondral fragment can be salvaged. Chondroplasty and osteochondral autograft transfer are typically used to treat small (<2 cm2) cartilage defects. Microfracture has not been shown to be superior to chondroplasty alone and has potential adverse effects, including cyst and intralesional osteophyte formation. Osteochondral allograft transfer and matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation are often used for larger cartilage defects. Particulated juvenile allograft cartilage is another treatment option for cartilage lesions that has good to excellent short-term results but long-term outcomes are lacking.
