Authors: Duque Gómez Luisa Fernanda , Alzate Piedrahita María Victoria
Published: May 2019

The aim of this research was to analyze a twelve textbook corpus in Spanish (preschool and elementary school) published by Editorial Bruño between 1954 and 2009. The reason for choosing this publisher is because it is considered an impact factor in beginning the production of text books in Colombia. The first and second generation perspective to analyze text books was adopted in order to discover school knowledge in the teaching of the Spanish language. The research was conducted through the method of content analysis within the framework of a qualitative study supported by quantitative elements. The results provided evidence of a conceptual and methodological contribution where aspects such as editing, iconography, structure and content were observed, which in conjunction marked the transition of this educational tool throughout its evolution. In conclusion, no significant changes were found in the knowledge configuration of preschool textbooks, whilst significant changes in terms of design, iconography and content format were observed in elementary school textbooks.
Retos para Colombia en el marco del Plan Nacional de Bilingüismo: relato de experiencias in situ
Authors: Galvis Guerrero Héctor Alejandro
Published: May 2019

New public policy has brought about significant challenges for Colombian society. One of these challenges aims at making primary and high school education bilingual (Spanish-English). In the light of this, national competitiveness is expected to improve nationwide and worldwide, and significant efforts, economic, logistic and academic, are being made in order to reach these educational goals. This article describes the experience and the challenges ahead in the light of Plan Nacional de Bilingüismo PBN (the Spanish acronym for National Bilingualism Plan). The experience described involves the author´s intervention as an external academic assistant through institutional cooperation between the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas and Secretaría de Educación de Bogotá which provided support to two public schools in Bogota. Due to reasons of confidentiality, the two schools will be referred to as School A and School B respectively. It is expected that the experience analyzed will help readers understand problems not directly addressed by public policy, the realities and needs of public education in Colombia, and of course, the academic challenges which appear to be sociological in nature, going beyond purely linguistic concerns. Finally, suggestions are given about to encourage the academic community to expand their possibilities of carrying out research and how to understand the blind spots of local public policy.
Bifunctional Zeolite- and Aluminophosphate-Based Catalysts for Hydrocracking and Hydroisodeparaffinization. Part 1. The Influence of the Nature and Activity of the Hydrogenating and Acidic Components on the Activity and Selectivity of Hydrocracking Cataly
Authors: Echevsky G. V.
Published: May 2019

Sulfur resistance of nickel, platinum and palladium metals on acid supports was studied depending on the support nature. Catalysts comprising nickel, platinum, palladium metals and sulfides as hydro-dehydrogenating components were examined for hydrocracking of n-octane. HY, ZSM-5, ZSM-23, ZSM-12, as well as silicoaluminophosphates SAPO-11 and SAPO-31 were used as the supports. The sulfur resistance of the supported metals in the catalysts was shown different and independent of the properties of the acidic support under the reaction conditions. Hydrocracking follows two different pathways depending on the activity and nature of the hydro-, dehydrogenating component (a metal or the sulfide), as well as on the ratio of activities of the acidic and hydrogenating components. The first pathway is preferable cracking of the initial paraffin at the early stage, and the second is dehydrogenation of the initial paraffin.

ABSTRACT:

This study

evaluates the level of some heavy elements (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn,

As, Se, Br, Sr, Pb) in Erzurum Province, and to observe whether Hydrophilidae (Coleoptera) is a useful

candidate for biomonitoring studies. For this purpose, water, sediment

and hydrophilid samples were collected from four sites on June,

July, August 2014, Erzurum (Turkey). Heavy

elements levels in insect, sediment and water samples which are at the same

place were measured by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF)

spectrometer. The results have showed that the hydrophilids were contaminated

by their environments, therefore

accumulated some elements at higher concentration. The sediments heavy

element analysis indicated that among the fourteen heavy elements Cr was

maximally accumulated, followed by Ni and Fe. In all sampling sites, Ti, Fe,

Ni, Cu, Br, Pb concentrations in water and sediment were measured, and every

insect species accumulated Ti, Fe, Ni, Cr, Zn, Br, Sr, Pb in different levels.

The water samples’ results were compared with national water quality criteria.

Some heavy elements’ concentrations exceed the allowable

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT: The purposes of this study are to determine the growth parameters using in growth analysis of late period of wheat and to estimate the correlation coefficient between growth parameters and yield and yield components. In six bread wheat varieties suitable for Aegean Region, growth parameters were determined between flag leaf just visible (zadox 37-39) and ripening (zadox 85-91). The total dry matter increased until the milk and dough development period and then decreased, while leaf area index continuously declined after beginning of anthesis. A decreasing second-degree polynomial was described for net assimilation rate and relative growth rate due to dry matter and leaf area index. The positive and significant correlation coefficients were estimated between yield and leaf area index. It should be concluded that the (LAR) confirms the positive and significant relation of the duration of greenness on the yield and yield components during further development periods.

Published: May 2019

preliminary study was carried out in order to investigate the effects of application of treated sludge and Fe fertilizer on the yield and Fe content of maize. The trial was conducted in randomized plots design with three replications as pot experiment and C-955 hybrid maize was grown for silage. As basic fertilization, 200 mg kg-1 N, 100 mg kg-1 P and 150 mg kg-1 K were applied to all of the pots. Treatments were (C) control, (T1) 5 mg kg-1Fe (Fe in sludge) + 10 mg kg-1Fe (FeSO4,7H2O), (T2) 10 mg kg-1 Fe (Fe in sludge) + 5 mg kg-1 Fe (FeSO4,7H2O), (T3) 15 mg kg-1 Fe (Fe in sludge) and (T4) 15 mg kg-1 Fe (FeSO4,7H2O). Applications of sludge and Fe increased wet weight, dry weight, plant height, leaf number and the content of N, K, Fe, Zn and Cu of maize plant. It was concluded that application of 15 mg kg-1 Fe in sludge is sufficient for Fe need of maize. However, the obtained results from this study were valid only for this study soil and sewage sludge and should be used without generalization as they can vary under different conditions such as soil and climate. Therefore, further researches are needed on this field.

Authors: Martirosyan A.A. , Mileshin V.I. , Druzhinin Ya.M. , Kozhemyako P.G.
Published: May 2019

The paper presents the results of computing aerodynamic properties of the CRTF2A counter-rotating cowled fan developed as part of the European VITAL program. To achieve these results, we used the following software packages: NUMECA FINE TURBO, ANSYS CFX and CIAMs own 3D--IMP--MULTI hydrocode. We use the RANS approach to model turbulent flows. We performed a three-dimensional computation, completing Reynolds-averaged Navier --- Stokes equations by various turbulence models for the following relative angular frequency modes: n = 1 and 0.9. We used the following turbulence models available in the software packages: k--ε (ANSYS CFX, 3D--IMP--MULTI), k--ε (ANSYS CFX, NUMECA FINE TURBO, 3D--IMP--MULTI), SST (NUMECA FINE TURBO, ANSYS CFX, 3D--IMP--MULTI). We plotted head characteristics for each software package and determined the main differences. We plotted adiabatic efficiency and total pressure ratios as functions of height for the first and second rotors at the maximum efficiency points for both modes in the ANSYS CFX, NUMECA FINE TURBO and 3D--IMP--MULTI software packages
Optimising the Composition of Biofuel Blends with Vegetable Oil Additives
Authors: Markov V.A. , Chainov N.D. , Neverova V.V.
Published: May 2019

The paper deals with a topical issue of using biofuels in internal combustion engines. Promising biofuels may be derived from vegetable oils. In agriculture, using blends of petroleum fuel and a moderate amount of vegetable oil is economically feasible. We consider rapeseed oil and sunflower oil as these possible additives. We list physical and chemical properties of vegetable oils and blends of vegetable oils and diesel fuel. We analysed the experimental investigation results concerning the D-245.12S diesel engine running on petroleum fuel and its blends with vegetable oil additives specified above. We demonstrate that it is possible to improve environmental performance of a diesel by using these biofuel blends. We present a method for optimising the composition of petroleum fuel blends with vegetable oil additives that is based on determining a generalised optimality criterion as a sum of partial optimality criteria characterising regulated toxic component content in diesel exhaust gas emissions. We used the method presented to perform optimisation calculations and determine the optimum composition for biofuel blends with vegetable oil additives. We developed a method for estimating environmental safety of diesel power plants that takes into account the concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the diesel exhaust gases. We show that knowing benzo[a]pyrene emission levels of a diesel running on a specific type of fuel is enough to estimate the degree of environmental threat of its exhaust gases
On criteria of selecting filler material parameters in supporting thin-walled frame-type structures in relation to the tasks of cars and tractors passive safety
Authors: Goncharov R.B. , Zuzov V.N.
Published: May 2019

This paper addresses the issues of improving the efficiency of using filler materials in frame elements of truck cabs. To solve this problem, we carried out a numerical study of aluminum alloy AMg6 pipes with quasi-static three-point bending with various fillers. The following materials can be used as fillers: brittle materials, i.e. epoxy resin, polystyrene; hyperelastic materials, i.e. rubber, polyurethane; elastic-plastic materials, i.e. foam aluminum with a density of 430 kg / m3 and 800 kg / m3. Foam aluminum with a density of 800 kg / m3 appears to be the most effective filler material. The load factor is 364, and the specific energy consumption is 22.295 more than that of a hollow pipe. As for brittle and hyperelastic materials, they were found to make almost no improvement in mechanical characteristics. Based on the analysis of the results obtained, we propose parameters, such as specific energy consumption, load factor, change in cross-sectional area in the contact zone, loss of bearing capacity, and their threshold values, which are necessary for preliminary assessment of the feasibility and effectiveness of using existing and newly developed fillers to modify cabs and car bodies according to the requirements of passive safety
Method for assessing the reliability of the output data prepared by automated system for aircraft flight data preparation
Authors: Andreev A.G. , Kazakov G.V. , Koryanov V.V.
Published: May 2019

Methods for solving the problem of ensuring the reliability of information have been considered in the works of many domestic and foreign scientists. Nevertheless, when performing some tasks of automation of the activity of the personnel of the governing bodies, it may be difficult to calculate the required value of data reliability due to the complexity of the algorithms for calculating the confidence indicator and difficulties in obtaining adequate input data. A new method for assessing the reliability of aircraft flight data is considered on the basis of the special representation of the data preparing process as a serial connection of technological sections in time and calculating the reliability indicators for each element of the technological section and the technological section as a whole. The structure of a typical technological section includes a documentalist, an operator, hardware, software and a procedure for correcting erroneous data detected by the control procedure. The use of such a process model allows obtaining a simple recurrent algorithm for estimating the data reliability index for any technological section using the reliability index values for the previous technology sections. Having determined the probabilities of data distortion and the time of operation performing by elements of the technological section, it is possible to calculate the values of similar indicators for each elementary data preparation process and the system as a whole. An elementary data preparation process, the essence of which is to update the system database is considered as an example. This stage is the most representative one, since all elements of the technological section are involved in its implementation

Published: May 2019

The limits of the disposal of one’s own body, individual organs and tissues are not clearly regulated by law, and therefore there are many difficulties in legal realization. Especially problematic is the use of organs after death for another person. In the case of various personal (somatic) rights, despite the lack of a full legal mechanism of their action, you can always starting out from the will of the individual, his individual rights. However, after the death loss of the ability of this volitional aspect and expression of their legitimate interest. We reveal the features and problems of personal (somatic) human rights in the key of cadaveric organ donorship. We analyze current Russian legislation and these norms application practice, we note shortcomings and imperfections of legal regulation of the area of organs removal after the death of a person. In addition, we investigate the religious and dogmatic nature content of acts for the relation to transplantology. We pay particular attention to the presumed consent analysis on removal of organs after death. Also we note the advantages and disadvantages of such a legislative setting. Conclusions about the such rights protection options are formed and the need to create an effective mechanism for the realization of the right of each participant in such relations is emphasized. Based on some foreign countries study experience, we propose an options for the development and improvement of cadaveric donation regulation.

The relevance of this study is due to the importance of the constitutional right of everyone to housing, its inviolability and inalienability. Because of the acute housing problem in the Russian Federation, concerning the lack of funds for the purchase of housing, many young families who need housing and improved living conditions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features of the constitutional right to housing, the state of this institution in modern Russia, whose task is to improve housing conditions in the country and provide young families with housing. We achieve the implementation of the tasks with the help of general scientific (dialectical, analysis, synthesis) and specific scientific methods (formal-legal, comparative-legal). We note a number of social and economic conditions and factors affecting the realization of the right to housing for young families in the framework of existing state support programs. We draw a conclusion that at the moment there are a lot of state programs aimed at maintaining the level of the population, which could fulfill the social obligation of the state to its citizens. At the same time, the legislator should pay special attention to improving the legal literacy of the population, the accuracy of the target program activities wording description, the development of a mechanism for their implementation, as well as the development of a methodology for calculating indicators of the effectiveness of such programs.

Published: May 2019

The objective of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties of validity and reliability of the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale (GADS) in Ecuadorian university students, since a cultural validation of the instrument has not been found in Ecuador. The study population consisted of a non-probabilistic sample of 600 participants (59.6% women and 40.4% men, M = 21 years, SD = 2.82). The factorial structure was examined with the method of extraction by Parallel Analysis of unweighted least squares (ULS) and of prominent rotation. In both, internal consistency was evaluated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficients and composite reliability. Like the original version, both subscales have a factorial structure of one dimension and are considered good in terms of reliability, which concludes that the scale meets the criteria of validity and reliability in Ecuador.
Qual o Planejamento Regional na Sociedade de Risco? Reflexões para uma Renovação da Agenda de Pesquisa no RS
Authors: Brose Markus Erwin
Published: May 2019

A percepção de riscos pela mudança do clima fomenta a rediscussão das prioridades da pesquisa sobre o planejamento regional. Mudança climática não se resume a um ‘tema ambiental’, altera relações de poder nos mercados, mediante alteração de preços, e na política, através de novos custos. O ensaio tem como objetivo uma reflexão em base empírica, contribuindo para integrar a resiliência como dimensão transversal no planejamento regional. Utiliza aspectos da teoria da Sociedade de Risco, proposta pelo sociólogo Ulrich Beck, discutindo conexões com a obra de Anthony Giddens, em especial sua proposta do New Green Deal. Argumentamos que, contrariando o otimismo de Giddens quanto à capacidade do Estado, é possível reconhecer no Rio Grande do Sul evidências do esgotamento dos clássicos conflitos redistributivos do capitalismo e que incertezas crescentes estimulam a renovação nas prioridades da pesquisa em planejamento regional.

Published: May 2019

A heterogeneidade da estrutura produtiva e dos modelos de produção é traço marcante da agricultura brasileira. O conceito de “agricultor familiar” definido em lei, esconde a grande diversidade presente também nesse estrato de produção. A realização do Censo Agropecuário 2006 considerando a estratificação dos diferentes grupos de beneficiários do PRONAF, oferece a possibilidade de identificar e discutir as distinções entre os diferentes tipos de agricultores familiares. Esse artigo tem por objetivo aferir, caracterizar e analisar comparativamente a presença de tais distinções no estado do Paraná e em duas de suas regiões, as quais apresentam históricos distintos de ocupação e índices contrastantes de desenvolvimento. Para tanto, foram analisados dados censitários agrupados considerado informações referentes aos agricultores, unidades produtivas, atividades econômicas, renda e ocupação. Observou-se o predomínio do grupo B do PRONAF no estado e no Território Norte Pioneiro e do grupo C na Microrregião de Toledo. As diferenças mais relevantes entre regiões e entre tipos de agricultores encontram-se em variáveis como o grau de associativismo e a oferta ou não de orientação técnica. Como similaridade destaca-se a presença marcante de “pronafianos” do grupo B nas classes de idade mais avançada, reforçando a preocupação com os processos de sucessão na agricultura familiar.

Authors: Yan Ying , Tong Fei , Chen Jianer
Published: May 2019

The objective of the study was to examine the therapeutic role of combined ischemic preconditioning
(IPC) and resveratrol (RES) on brain ischemia/reperfusion injury (BI/RI) by modulating endogenous bone
morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4)/reactive oxygen species (ROS)/cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in rats. Sprague
Dawley (SD) rats were pretreated with 20 mg/kg RES (20 mg/kg RES was administered once a day via intraperitoneal
injection 7 days prior to the I/R procedure) and IPC (equal volumes of saline were administered once a day
by intraperitoneal injection over 7 days, and the bilateral common carotid arteries were separated for clamp 5
minutes followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion prior to the I/R procedure), and then subjected to 2 hours of ischemia
and 22 hours of reperfusion. Blood and cerebral tissues were collected, cerebral pathological injuries and
infarct sizes were investigated, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were measured,
the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ROS were calculated, the contents of methane dicarboxylic
aldehyde (MDA), IL-6, TNF-α and hemodynamic change were estimated, and expression levels of b-cell
lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), bcl-2-associated x (Bax), BMP-4 and COX-2 were assessed in cerebral tissues. IPC, RES
and a combination of IPC and RES preconditioning ameliorated the pathological damage and infarct sizes, reduced
cerebral oxidative stress damage, alleviated inflammatory damage, restrained apoptosis, and downregulated
the expression levels of BMP-4 and COX-2 compared with those of the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group. This
study suggested a combined strategy that could enhance protection against BI/RI in clinical brain disease.
Dental Students' Attitudes About Treating Populations That Are Low‐Income Rural, Non‐White, and with Special Needs: A Survey of Four Classes at a U.S. Dental School
Authors: McKenzie Carly T. , Mitchell Stephen C.
Published: May 2019

The aim of this study was to explore dental students' attitudes about treating populations that are low‐income rural, non‐white, and with special needs. All 259 students in all four years at one U.S. dental school were invited in January 2018 to participate in a survey with questions about treating these three populations in the following areas: personal value, perceived preparedness, comfort, future intent to treat, and professional responsibility. A total of 227 students completed the survey, for an overall 87.6% response rate. By class, participants were as follows: D1 n=63, 100% response rate; D2 n=60, 98.4% response rate; D3 n=67, 98.5% response rate; and D4 n=37, 53.6% response rate. The results showed that dental school class did not predict willingness to treat the specified populations. Regarding populations that are rural and non‐white, personal value and professional responsibility significantly correlated with intent to treat. Women perceived stronger professional responsibility regarding treatment of populations that are low‐income rural (M=1.97, SD=1.09; p=0.004) and non‐white (M=1.95, SD=1.07; p=0.013) than did men (M=2.44, SD=1.23; M=2.34, SD=1.22, respectively). More advanced students reported greater preparedness regarding populations that are rural and non‐white, but not patients with special needs. Preparedness correlated with intent to treat for patients with special needs only. Women were less comfortable than men in treating patients with special needs (χ2=6.10, p=0.014). Hometown residence had a limited effect for patients with special needs only. Rural residence did not predict students' attitudes about serving rural patients. Overall, the students reported positive intentions to serve populations that are low income, but showed less confidence and willingness in treating patients with special needs, especially among women. These results suggest that the students' comfort in serving patients with low income was more static and less malleable than preparedness. As preparedness and personal value were positively correlated, students may have found worthwhile what they felt prepared to do.

Published: May 2019

In a multicultural society, the ability to work effectively with spoken‐language interpreters is a critical skill for oral health professionals. The aims of this study were to design and evaluate training for oral health professions students to work effectively with interpreters as a health care team. A total of 89 University of Minnesota dental, dental hygiene, and dental therapy students and 41 Century College translating and interpreting students participated in the elective three‐hour training from 2016 to 2018. The 89 oral health professions participants were invited to respond to a seven‐item survey about working with interpreters and patients who are limited English proficient (LEP), along with a comparison group of an additional 462 oral health professions students who did not participate in the program. Of the oral health professions participants, 49 responded to the survey, for a 55% response rate; and 245 of the comparison group responded, for a 53% response rate. A qualitative focus group with 11 program participants and inductive analysis provided further insights. The differences between participants' pre and post self‐ratings were statistically significant (p<0.001) for each of the seven survey questions. After training, students were more familiar with provider and interpreter best practices and the context for patients who are LEP, as well as more confident in their skills to work effectively with interpreters. Student focus groups identified training relevance and necessity and learning format as the most significant success factors. This project highlights the process and value of creating these experiences for and with students and the value of simulation to develop knowledge, skills, and confidence.
