Published: January 2021

Regarding degenerative defects of the aortic valve, the main method of treatment is dissection of malformed leaflets and placement of prosthetic valve. In most cases, mechanical and biological prostheses are used. Each type of prosthesis has shortcomings related to both the implantation technique and essential medication support to keep it functioning. Patients with implanted mechanical prosthesis need lifelong anticoagulation therapy and constant monitoring of blood coagulation rates, where on the one hand there is a risk of occurring thromboembolic complications, and on the other hand haemorrhagic complications. The peculiarity of biological prostheses is a high probability of degeneration and the need for re-operation, especially in young patients, therefore the implantation of such prostheses is mainly carried out in elderly patients. Despite continuous change and modification of artificial valves, the ideal aortic valve prosthesis does not exist today. Various attempts to replace aortic valve leaflets with artificial and biological materials have not succeeded or gained great recognition. In 2007, Shigeyuki Ozaki introduced a technique to replace the aortic valve leaflets with an autopericardium treated with 0.6 % glutar aldehyde solution. Inspite of the encouraging mid-term results, this surgery has not yet become widespread among cardiac surgeons due to the complicated operating technique and lack of long-term results. Considering the research of literature, experience of different cardiosurgical centers in this field as well as our own experience, there is a need to systematize the results of Ozaki procedure, among patients with aortic valve pathology, presented in the recent publications.

Open Government Data (OGD) implementation provides benefits for government performance and public services. Based on the Indonesian government's openness action plan 2018-2020, the importance of monitoring and evaluation of OGD implementation for sustainable development is emphasized. This study aims to prioritize criteria and provide recommendations for OGD evaluations at the Jakarta Open Data. Through the mix method approach, expert interviews have been conducted to test the validity of the criteria which then carried out the distribution of questionnaires to eleven expert respondents from five departments. The data is processed using the fuzzy-Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine each weight on twenty criteria in four dimensions. The results of this study indicate that in the short term, OGD internal evaluations in the DKI Jakarta provincial government can be done by assessing eight main priority criteria, namely accuracy, completeness, compliance, understandability, timeliness, openness, functionality, and reliability which are then based on overall criteria. These results are the basis for discussion in the Data Forum and the establishment of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to assist and accelerate the process of collecting, processing, verifying and validating data from 51 regional work units. Externally, the Jakarta Open Data team can pay attention to the conditions of citizen engagement in the OGD and the existence of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between relevant ministries or agencies that does not yet have data officers or information and documentation management officers for effective and efficient data processing

Uma forma eficiente de tratar efluentes provindos de drenagem ácida de mina (DAM), frente aos tratamentos convencionais de neutralização da acidez, é por meio da aplicação de processos biológicos anaeróbios que utilizam bactérias redutoras de sulfato (BRS) apresentando remoção de sulfato, alcalinização do meio e precipitação de metais. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo o monitoramento da concentração total dos metais Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Se, V, W e Zn e a avaliação das respectivas eficiências de remoção destes metais em um reator de leito fixo-estruturado e fluxo descendente (DFSBR), utilizado para tratar efluentes oriundos de DAM sintética rica em sulfato. A digestão anaeróbia empregada para o tratamento de DAM obteve um elevado desempenho com eficiências médias de remoção, nas Fases de II a IV, de 92 ± 4, 87 ± 8, 71 ± 21, 61 ± 24, 92 ± 4 e 86 ± 8 para Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni e Zn, respectivamente. O tratamento anaeróbico de DAM pelo reator DFSBR revela-se como uma alternativa promissora para a remoção de metais, além da redução de sulfato e elevação do pH, de acordo com as condições descritas neste estudo, e uma opção promissora e complementar para a remoção de manganês, comumente considerado de difícil remoção em DAMs reais, empregando processos físico-químicos convencionais.

Published: January 2021

Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de 6-benzilaminopurina - BAP (0; 0,5 e 1,0 mg L-1) e espectros luminosos (branco, vermelho e azul), na indução de estruturas semelhantes à protocormos ("protocorm like bodies - PLBs") a partir de calos obtidos de explantes foliares. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado e os tratamentos foram arranjados em esquema fatorial 3x3 (três concentrações de BAP e três espectros luminosos), com quatro repetições (frasco) contendo cinco explantes cada. Aos 60 dias de cultivo foram avaliados o número e o comprimento dos protocormos, número de folhas por protocormo, massa fresca total, percentual de explantes oxidados e coloração dos explantes, sendo nesta última, atribuídos os seguintes valores: 1 – branco/amarelado, 2 – verde claro e 3 - verde escuro. A partir dos resultados obtidos foi possível concluir que o cultivo dos calos de Cattleya nobilior em meio MS suplementado com 1,0 mg L-1 de BAP e sob espectro luminoso vermelho promove um aumento da massa fresca e diminui a oxidação dos protocormos,enquanto que, o cultivo em meio contendo 0,5 mg L-1 de BAP e sob espectro luminoso branco promove um leve aumento no comprimento dos protocormos. No entanto, para o número de protocormos, número de folhas por protocormo e coloração dos protocormos, os tratamentos realizados não promoveram alterações significativas sobre estas variáveis.
Arcaísmos y novedades en el panorama señorial de la comarca de Salas de los Infantes según el Becerro de las Behetrías
Authors: Escalona Monge Julio
Published: January 2021

El Libro Becerro de las Behetrías es una fuente fundamental para el estudio de la estructura señorial castellana a mediados del siglo XIV. Es también sumamente complejo. En él se mezclan elementos procedentes de una larga trayectoria evolutiva con innovaciones a veces muy recientes. Por lo tanto, no todo en el Becerro puede ser tratado en términos de 'arcaísmo" o "pervivencia" y es fundamental tener en cuenta cómo las novedades más recientes pueden encubrir elementos más antiguos, cómo pueden alterar la estructura señorial a nivel local y en qué medida esto puede afectar incluso a la forma en que esos datos se registran en el propio Becerro. Este trabajo pretende evaluar el peso relativo de arcaísmos" y "novedades" en un sector bien definido del sudeste castellano- el área en torno a Salas de los Infantes- a través de tres líneas de análisis: a) la distribución de las diferentes modalidades señoriales; b) el impacto relativo de poderes señoriales concretos; c) la pervivencia de circuitos supralocales de prestaciones desde las aldeas a los lugares jerárquicos.

El poder (y lo) simbólico
Authors: Castro Bartolomé
Published: January 2021

El poder no tiene una esencia o naturaleza propia que permita comprenderlo a través de leyes fijas o diseccionarlo racionalmente. El es una creación del imaginario social. Sin embargo no existe sociedad sin la construcción y solidificación de un conjunto de mecanismos de poder que la permitan existir y subsistir con un mínimo de estabilidad. Los mecanismos de poder son eficaces porque permanecen imbricados y ocultos en la red de significaciones sociales: costumbres, creencias, normas, valores, instituciones, estructuras, etc., que trama el ser de cualquier sociedad. No es posible comprender la urdimbre del poder en el entramado social si no es a través de la dimensión simbólica que lo configura. El poder usa una compleja red de símbolos para legitimarse socialmente, y los símbolos autoafirman su validez en una sociedad a través del poder que los instituye. El poder y lo simbólico se complican formando "el poder simbólico".
Masonería y política
Authors: Fernández Fernández Pedro Víctor
Published: January 2021

Las criticadas interconexiones entre masonería y política deben abordarse desde campos como la politología para acotar núcleos semánticos en torno a la practica del poder. Pero también desde un estudio interno de la orden masónica a varios niveles de acción (masones, logias, obediencias), superando todas las contrariedades y complejidad de una institución que en España, tras la revolución de 1868, crece y tiene formada una opinión en muchos aspectos políticos (revolución, republicanismo, colonialismo, dictadura, laicismo) lo que hace que se configure en un grupo ideológico de presión importante.

sentido del ser humano en un mundo en crisis existencial
Authors: Rodríguez Zambrano Hernando , Anzola Castillo Iván Eugenio
Published: January 2021

Las últimas décadas en la aldea global han estado acompañadas de crisis que han afectado el desarrollo económico y social de muchas naciones, como ha ocurrido con las crisis financieras, consecuencias del paradigma del neoliberalismo propuesto en 1944 por Hayek (1995), en su libro Camino de Servidumbre donde plantea el libre funcionamiento de los mecanismos del mercado, base para la llegada de la globalización que adoptó el paradigma neoliberal, y que llevo primero al desarrollo de la globalización financiera antes que la globalización productiva, generándose las crisis financieras recurrentes que han afectado al mundo, entre ellas: la crisis financiera de México (1994); el estallido de burbuja inmobiliaria en Tailandia (1997-1998); la crisis financiera en la Federación Rusa (1998-1999) derivada de la transición de una economía central planificada a un sistema económico capitalista, que afecto la economía de Brasil (1999-2000) y posteriormente a Argentina (2001-2002) aunando a la vez los efectos de la crisis del sudeste asiático; y, el estallido de burbuja inmobiliaria en Estados Unidos (2008-2010), que se extendió rápidamente por el planeta, convirtiéndose en crisis mundial. Así, los efectos de las crisis financieras en los países afectados han generado: el retiro masivo de recursos de inversionistas, la caída de las reservas internacionales, la libre flotación, el aumento del déficit fiscal, la devaluación de las monedas, e impacto negativo en las bolsas de valores. Al respecto, Steinberg (2008) menciona que la crisis financiera global ha sido el resultado de la liberalización financiera sin regulación, liderada especialmente por Estados Unidos. En este contexto de crisis financieras, el Grupo (G-20), el FMI y la Unión Europea, avanzan en la reforma de los organismos multilaterales de crédito y la reestructuración regulatoria y de supervisión del sistema financiero internacional, que permitan el equilibrio y estabilidad en la globalización de los mercados.
Application of Quality Function Deployment to the Management of Information Physical Security
Authors: Lombardi Mara , Garzia Fabio , Fargnoli Mario , Pellizzi Anselmo , Ramalingam Soodamani
Published: January 2021

Information physical security (IPS) refers to the prevention from intended attacks against all material devices and to the protection against deliberate attacks by supporting and managing related data/information. Information in today's world represents an important asset to be protected and for this reason it is necessary to adopt a suitable method for risk and security management. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was originally developed as a tool capable of ensuring a valuable help in the design of products and services, guaranteeing customer satisfaction and value creation. The core of the method is the set of matrices called the ‘House of Quality’ (HoQ), which relates the Customer Requirements (CRs) with Engineering Characteristics (ECs): in other words, the HoQ is a way of translating customer requirements into design parameters. Numerous studies have demonstrated its use in a wide range of sectors. In particular, its application in the security engineering context has been investigated by means of the House of Security (HoS). Its objective is represented by the classification of the components of a security system in response to different scenarios of voluntary attacks. Based on this, the aim of the study consists in extending such an approach to information physical security. More in detail, the purpose of this paper is the development of a systematic model, based on the HoS and applicable to information physical security, that allows the definition and raking of the vital components of an information physical security system (IPSS). In this way, it is possible to perform a proper cost/benefit analysis, considering a general physical layout of a certain organization so that the results can be wide-ranging and applicable in different contexts.
Numerical Modeling of the Exposure on Radiofrequency Radiation of Marine Mammal Observers During Their Shift: A Case Study
Authors: Spandonidis Christos C. , Arvaniti Kyriakoula
Published: January 2021

Following the standard numerical modeling approach for Electromagnetic Field (EMF) radiation exposure prediction, we intend to provide an analytical framework to Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) for dynamic risk assessment; enhancing thus occupational health and safety awareness. The analysis is based on power levels and antenna characteristics reported by MMOs for two systems (VHF and UHF) located close to the working environment. Whilst occupational exposure limits apply for MMOs, as for the rest crew (seismic and maritime), evaluation of exposure levels against general public limits is presented as well. At present we have restricted our study to single-source radiation, as well as we did not consider any irregularities due to system malfunction. The worst-case scenario of continuous RF transmission was considered. Risk assessment indicated regions where radiation exposure is higher than the permissible limits. Uncertainty due to the operational environment is inserted in methodology using an uncertainty coefficient. A list of control measures is proposed, to support both MMO’s and Operators’ decision making.
Monitoring Respirable Dust Exposure in Fettling Work Environment of a Foundry: A Proposed Design Intervention
Authors: Sharma Milap , Kataria Krishan K. , Suri Narendra M. , Kant Suman
Published: January 2021

Foundry workers are exposed to numerous health hazards, which includes respirable dust exposure as a prominent health issue. Apart from metallic dust, respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is generated during the fettling operation, which is very hazardous and a leading cause for silicosis. Evaluation and control of such hazards deserve particular attention in order to reduce the dust exposure level upto the permissible limits. In present study, an attempt was made to propose a low-cost design control intervention utilizing sensor based intelligence (ATmega328P microcontroller and an optical dust-sensor, SHARP GP2Y1010AU0F) for monitoring the dust exposure, followed by virtual ergonomics approach in CATIAV5R20. The proposed device was tested under several operating conditions. The results indicated that the prototype was sensitive to dust, having higher average dust density values under the dust haze weather condition (arithmetic mean (AM): 0.2590 mg/m3, geometric mean (GM): 0.2350 mg/m3) and fettling work-section (AM: 0.2550 mg/m3, GM: 0.2164 mg/m3) respectively, as compared to other conditions. Also, biomechanics analysis yielded the spine compression values lesser than the recommended limits, validating that the proposed fettling booth models could be considered as suggestive engineering control measures in conjunction with the designed prototype, so as to minimize the respirable dust exposure levels.

Authors: Kilic Alper , Akdamar Emrah
Published: January 2021

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between accident types and the regions where the accidents occur, and to examine whether the resources required for accident prevention are distributed appropriately in the accident regions. In the study, the relationship between seven different types of accidents that occurred in seven different regions between the years of 2001-2016 was analyzed through the correspondence analysis. This analysis has been preferred because of its successful applications in various studies on accidents in the literature. As a result of the study, a significant relationship was found between accident types and accident regions, which means accident types vary by regions and there are accident types specific to accident regions. Collision in the Istanbul, grounding in the Canakkale and capsize accidents in the Izmir were determined to be more frequent. These findings are consistent with previous studies. It has been observed that, among regions, there are some imbalances in the distribution of resources used for marine accident response.

Occupational health and safety is one of the most important issues in a company which is an important subject that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Work safety management system is the effort shown to the elements in production (human, equipment, materials and work environment), so that peaceful production activities can be realized and produce products that do not endanger the safety and health of workers. This is due to the interaction of elements in the production system in the form of death, serious injury, human injury, property damage and cessation of process loss. Primary data collection is done by distributing questionnaires to employees to record hazardous actions and hazardous conditions that are the direct cause of accidents resulting in serious injury and property damage or endangering workers and employees. The overall value of hazardous actions is 37% and hazardous conditions 24% still have a small effect that triggers the occurrence. OSHA measurement values prove that accidents, loss of time and other losses can be analyzed with the results of FR and SR values.

Facial emotion recognition plays an important role in daily communication and plays a key role in social adaptation and personal development. Emotion recognition ability is an important component of non-verbal communication system, and it is also a necessary skill to successfully adapt to and deal with environmental problems. A large number of studies have examined the differences in facial expression recognition between deaf and hearing people. Research has proved that deaf people face emotion recognition has different degrees of difficulty, which is manifested in the deaf people's recognition emotion type accuracy rate and reaction time lower than that of healthy people. Deaf people face emotional recognition difficulties are affected by physiological and social environmental factors. Based on these physiological and environmental factors, helping the deaf improve their facial and emotional recognition ability can help improve their social adaptability.

The materials used include acrylic, pvc-abro, polyurethane and epoxy by single and hybrid combinations. Mild steel plate of 130mm x 130mm with 1.2mm thickness was used as a substrate. The contact angle was measured on surfaces of PSA and the substrate using OWK and Wu models. The force required to debond the PSA from the substrate (the tack) was measured with a universal testing machine. The results gave the maximum deflections as 4.9074 x10-4 N/mm2 and tack as 3.35769 x10-5 N/m for single PSA of Epoxy are higher than those for Acrylic, Pvc-Abro and Polyurethane PSAs materials. However, with Acrylic/Epoxy and Epoxy/ Pvc Abro hybrids, higher tack forces of 3 x10-5 mJ and 2.725 x 10-5mJ with corresponding higher values of 2.28225 x10-4N/mm2 and 1.61243 x10-4N/mm2 maximum deflections were obtained. These results showed that epoxy is better from tack force. The results clearly show that all the properties – surface free energy, work of adhesion, and tack are higher for hybrid PSA than for the single PSAs ranging from 1.5% to up to 80% difference. It was observed that as the angle of contact increased, the work of adhesion and cohesion increased. The results of this work can find application in dentistry in dentin/adhesive interface and hybridization of dental hard tissues with modified adhesive systems. Applications can also be found in carpentry, in polymer composites for automobile bodies and ceramics.

The existence of the government's Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy during the Covid-19 pandemic encouraged every industrial sector to focus on online transactions. One of the industries in question is the food industry, represented by cafes and restaurants that are starting to pay attention to the concept of e-service quality to support the increase in online repurchase intentions in an effort to maintain business continuity. This study aims to determine the effect of E-Service Quality on Online Repurchase Intentions with the satisfaction variable as a mediation at cafes and restaurants during the Covid-19 pandemic. The causal quantitative research method, with this research design using a cross sectional study. The sample used is 170 customers who make online purchases at cafes & restaurants in the city of Padang. The data collection process uses a questionnaire, with the distribution presented in the form of an electronic questionnaire which is one of the google docs applications that can be accessed online via the internet by customers of online cafes and restaurants in Padang city, West Sumatra, Indonesia. In this study, there are three types of variables used, namely the first independent variable, namely e-service quality, the second is the mediating variable, namely customer satisfaction, and the third dependent variable is online repurchase intentions. Data analysis in this study used Partial Least Square (PLS). The results showed that E-Service Quality has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction and Online Repurchase Intention. Customer satisfaction also has a positive and significant effect on Online Repurchase Intention. The results of the mediation test show that satisfaction plays a role as a mediation between E-Service Quality and Online Repurchase Intention.

Many employers and researchers across the globe have, over the years, adopted different approaches that can ensure employees' commitment to an organization. In this study, we seek to find a linkage between Job Autonomy, Organizational Learning, and Work Environment towards Organizational Commitment of public sector employees in Ghana. Data were obtained from three hundred and thirty (330) employees of five (5) Metropolitan, Municipal and Districts Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Ashanti Region of Ghana through the use of simple random probability sampling. However, three hundred and fifteen (315) accurate responses were used in the analysis due to incomplete and missing figures. Data were analyzed using partial least squared based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings revealed that organizational learning has the greatest outcome on organizational commitment and was statistically significant at p< 0.05. This finding provides useful suggestions for institutions, employers, and policymakers to promote organizational learning among employees through in-service trainings, knowledge distribution, and group behavior. The result can serve as a practical tool to boost organizational commitment towards achieving organizational goals.
Exploitation of Lagoon Water Bodies and Conflicts of Use: the Case of The Lagoons of Grand-Lahou (Cote D’ivoire)
Authors: ALLA Kouadio Augustin
Published: January 2021

Demographic pressure, the reduction of arable land and the instability of income generated by export crops have forced the people of Grand-Lahou to show more interest in fishing activities. Thus, the exploitation of water bodies is an important strategic and economic issue for the neighbouring populations. However, in recent years, this exploitation of aquatic resources has led to conflicts between operators. The aim of this article is to analyse the procedures for resolving these conflicts and to assess their effectiveness. The methodological approach has integrated field observations and analyses carried out on the basis of information collected through interviews with stakeholders. The results reveal various forms of conflict resolution with relative levels of effectiveness. This situation is a hindrance to the efficient use of Ivorian aquatic areas. It is therefore desirable for the State to play its role by proposing more effective ways of managing these conflicts.

Background: Understanding the brain function and how it coordinate the motor activity, means to have a map of brain using a lot of modern technologies which can give us information about the role and functions of different brain areas. Objective: The aim of our study is to explore the brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) and make the evaluation of differences in brain functions depend on specific sport activity. Methods: We make the study on two lots of athletes from judo (12subjects) and volleyball (11subjects), yrs. 22. All of them have a great sport activity experience and the anthropometric characteristics are similar. For recording the brain activity we use Nihon EEG product. The protocol of the research includes recording of brain activity during muscle contraction and relax of hand flexors. The parameters that we follow up are alpha1, alpha2 and theta waves. The information have been analysed using statistic methods and Pearson coefficient. Judo players present a little bit increase values of theta waves and we observe also a correlation between alpha waves for dominant hemisphere. For the second lot the the values of theta waves are highest. Conclusions: Analyse the behaviour of EEG waves could help the trainer and staff for approach the training results in term of build the brain and motor pattern. This is the result of professional approach of training based on neurophysiologic assessment using the brain mapping.

During the assessment process diachronically conceived in the initial, dynamic, and final stages, data recording is often performed by instrumental measurement using the goniometer. In Romania, the logistics equipment - hardware and software - has a very low or even absent incidence in the conceptual and applicative design of kinetic rehabilitation programmes. Some disadvantages of universal goniometry are revealed by relatively accurate measurements, given that the testing instrument may provide erroneous data when the specific rules are not followed. Moreover, the tester’s interpretation of angular values may vary; therefore, in order to objectify and validate the specific assessment and evaluation, we propose a precise angular motion measurement device called Kinesimeter, assisted by specific Labview software designed at the Human Movement Science Discipline of “George Emil Palade” University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Târgu Mureș. Our purpose was to compare the results and interpret the differences arising from the use of two specific assessment methods for the shoulder range of motion. Thus, the values recorded by two physiotherapists using the manual goniometer were compared with the values recorded with the Kinesimeter. In order to validate the results, we calculated statistical parameters such as correlation and significance. We strongly believe that the proposed hardware and software device for measuring, controlling, and analysing shoulder movements can become a modern performing tool needed by each rehabilitation institution, having a dual role - investigative and monitoring of a rehabilitation programme - both extremely important, additional to current measurements with the goniometer.
