Skills-related underemployment amongst South Africa’s informally employed and self-employed: A case study of Potchefstroom
Authors: Ngwenya Mosima , Blaauw Phillip F. , Pretorius Anmar , Claassen Carike , Schenck Rinie
Published: November 2020

Orientation: Mainstream development theory views the informal sector as a shock absorber in an economic crisis. South Africa’s informal sector is smaller than that of many developing countries and very little research has investigated underemployment in marginal informal economic activities.Purpose: This study investigated the prevalence of skills-related underemployment as well as the possible determinants and impact thereof on the income and poverty of car guards, day labourers and waste pickers in Potchefstroom.Motivation: There is a need to expand the debate on skills-related underemployment to the informal sector in order to improve our understanding of the shock absorber role of the informal sector and the implications of underemployment for the labour market.Research design and method: A cross-sectional survey design yielded the data for the analysis. Ordinary least square and probit analysis were used as the statistical methods of analyses to answer the three research questions.Main findings: Almost half (48%) of all the respondents experience skills-related underemployment (vocational over-skilling). Age and gender (for car guards), previous formal employment and day labour experience (day labourers) increase the likelihood of skills-related unemployment.Practical implications: The findings question the shock absorber role of informal employment and self-employment in South Africa in times of economic crisis. Alternative theoretical approaches deserve consideration.Contribution/value added: The prevalence of skills-related underemployment in the informal sector points towards the inefficient allocation of labour resources in South Africa. The study paves the way for studies with a broader geographical scope and qualitative focus.

Published: November 2020

Background:

The study objective was to evaluate a training program and a training model for pediatric ultrasound-guided vascular cannulation (USGVC) by inexperienced operators.

Methods:

An observational descriptive study was conducted at the pediatric intensive care unit of a level-III hospital. The study protocol comprised the following parts: (1) pretraining test; (2) theory and practice training session consisting of an explanation of basic vascular ultrasound concepts plus performing vascular cannulation in a model; (3) posttraining test; and (4) evaluation of the training model.

Results:

A total of 25 health-care professionals participated in the study. All of them possessed the skills to locate vessels and ultrasound planes, and they performed USGVC using the training model. On a 1–5 scale, the model was rated to have 87.6% fidelity with real pediatric patients; the best regarded aspect of it was utility (93%). Differences were found between pre- and post-training scores: 2.72 ± 0.84 versus 4.60 ± 0.50; P < 0.001 (95% confidence interval: −2.28, −1.47). Altogether, 300 ultrasound-guided cannulation procedures were carried out (12 per participant) distributed along the longitudinal axis in plane and the transverse axis out of plane, with 150 punctures in each of them. The success rate for USGVC in the training model was 79.7%, the mean time for the procedure was 115.6 ± 114.9 s, and the mean time for achieving successful cannulation was 87.69 ± 82.81 s. The mean number of trials needed for successful USGVC was 1.49 ± 0.86.

Conclusion:

After undergoing the theory–practice training, participants: (a) improved their knowledge of ultrasound-guided vascular access; (b) positively evaluated the USGVC training model, in particular its utility and fidelity as compared with cannulation in pediatric patients; and (c) achieved a high USGVC success rate in a relatively short time.
Evaluation of Resistive Index of Orbital Vessels Using Color Doppler Imaging in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Kanagaraju Vikrant , Divya K. , Raajaganesh M. , Devanand B.
Published: November 2020

Background:

Resistive index (RI), derived from color Doppler imaging (CDI), is a marker of vascular resistance used widely in varied clinical settings. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between RIs of the orbital vessels in a pure cohort of type 2 diabetic patients with or without retinopathy using CDI.

Methods:

Fifty patients having type 2 diabetes and 50 age-matched controls were evaluated in this prospective study. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) was diagnosed based on seven-field stereo fundus photography and diabetic patients were divided into two. Patients with no DR (n = 26) were taken as Group 1, while patients with DR (n = 24) were taken as Group 2. CDI was performed and the RIs of the ophthalmic artery (OA), posterior ciliary artery (PCA), central retinal artery (CRA), and central retinal vein (CRV) were measured.

Results:

Significant differences were observed in the mean RI values of all orbital arteries between controls and patients with DR (P < 0.05). Comparison of RI values between controls and Group 1 showed no significant differences. Mean RI values of the PCA and CRA were found to be significantly higher in the patients in Group 2 than in Group 1 (P = 0.03 and P < 0.001, respectively). The duration of diabetes correlated with the mean RI of all the orbital vessels. RI of the CRA was a reliable predictive indicator for DR (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

RIs of the orbital arteries are significantly higher in patients with DR. RI of the orbital vessels can be a potentially useful biomarker in the early diagnosis and follow-up of patients with DR.

The increasing use of various pesticides (e.g., organophosphate, organochlorine, carbamates, and pyrethroid) has helped to improve agricultural productivity by minimizing the potential crop losses associated with insect attacks. Owing to their highly recalcitrant nature, most pesticides and their residues often accumulate in the environment to exert deleterious effects on human health and various ecosystems. Among a variety of remediation options, biological approaches have attracted a widespread attention for the treatment of pesticide in soil/water systems due to their environmentally benign nature. In this regard, this review article was organized to highlight the recent advancements in the application of various bioremediation approaches for the degradation/removal of pesticides from soil/water matrixes along with the catabolic capacity of microorganisms. Our discussions were expanded further to emphasize identification of specific bacterial communities/strains, such as Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. This review is expected to provide an overview of the modern biotechnological methodologies along with the associated merits and hurdles for the effective abatement of pesticides.
Predicting the performance of a desulfurizing bio-filter using an artificial neural network (ANN) model
Authors: Salehi Reza , Sigit Lestari Retno Ambarwati
Published: November 2020

The aim of this study was to develop a model for predicting the performance of a desulfurizing bio-filter (BF), without requiring prior information about H2S biodegradation kinetics and mechanism. A single hidden layer artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed and validated using the gradient descent backpropagation (GDBP) learning algorithm coupled with a learning rate and a momentum factor. The ANN model inputs were gas flow rate, residence time, and axial position in the BF bed. The removal efficiency of H2S was the model output. Various structures for ANN model, differing in the number of hidden layer neurons, were trained and an early stopping validation technique, the K-fold cross-validation, was used to determine the optimal structure with the best generalization ability. The modeling results showed that there was a good agreement between the experimental data and the predicted values, with a determination coefficient (R2) of 94%. This implies that the ANN model might be an attractive and useful alternative tool for forecasting the performance of desulfurizing BFs.

Authors: Ruiz Raúl Aguilar
Published: November 2020

El conocimiento de las características de los distintos tipos de feminicidios puede contribuir en la mejora de las estrategias de prevención en el ámbito de la violencia contra la mujer. Con base en el análisis de 307 sentencias en España por feminicidios, consumados o intentados, se estudiaron las diferencias entre 146 feminicidios precedidos (FI-SE) y 161 no precedidos por la separación de la pareja (FI-NOSE). Los resultados muestran que los autores de FI-SE ejercen más tipos de violencia, son más celosos y experimentan más fuentes de estrés en el año que precede al crimen. El acoso incrementa cuatro veces la probabilidad de que ocurra el FI-SE, mientras que la discusión entre la pareja sin que conste violencia previa decrece la probabilidad de que acontezca el FI-SE. Sin embargo, los que cometen el FI-NOSE tienen un mayor historial de depresión y trastornos psicóticos. Se describen las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas

Az UNCTAD előrejelzése szerint 2020-ban és 2021-ben a globális FDI-áramlások drasztikus csökkenésére lehet számítani, és úgy tűnik, az idei első féléves adatok, illetve a járvány őszi visszatérése indokolják a borúlátást. A válság ugyanakkor nem érint egyformán minden iparágat, az ellenállóbb szektorok jellemzően már a járvány előtt is a beruházásösztönzés fókuszában voltak számos ország vagy régió esetében. Az ellátási láncok és a hozzájuk kapcsolódó beruházások jövőjét hosszú távon azok a trendek fogják elsősorban meghatározni, amelyek kibontakozása már a válság előtt megkezdődött. Ebből kifolyólag a beruházásösztönzés alapjai nem változtak a rendkívüli időszak ellenére sem. Ezzel párhuzamosan a járvány hatására felértékelődhetnek a befektetési környezet egyes elemei, például a biztonság és a piacok földrajzi közelsége. A járvány azonnali hatást gyakorolt a nemzeti befektetésösztönzési szervezetek munkájának operatív részére, a kihívások kezelésére kidolgozott innovatív megoldások, illetve a fokozott „after care” tevékenység várhatóan az ügynökségek eszköztárának stabil részévé fognak válni.

Introduction: Maxillary air sinus is the largest paranasal air
sinus. It exhibits dimorphic features and remains intact in
victims who are incinerated. Therefore it can be used for
identification of individual and gender determination. CT is
the most reliable method for measurement of maxillary sinus
dimensions. This study has been carried out to check the
accuracy and reliability of maxillary sinus in gender
determination using morphometric parameters.
Materials and method: CT images of 100 healthy adults (54
males and 46 females) were subjected to the measurements
of various dimensions. T test was used to find out the significant
difference between male and females. P value was calculated.
The statistical analysis was performed using word excel sheet
windows 2007 and SPSS software version 21.0 was used for
statistical analysis.
Result: Parameters were calculated on right and left maxillary
sinus. Anteroposterior diameter, height and volumes on both
sides were found to be more in males as compared to females
and it was statistically significant. Width of the sinuses on both
sides was also more in male than in female but was statistically
nonsignificant.
Conclusion: The results of the present study and knowledge
of anatomy of maxillary sinus as seen in CT scan will help in
identification of individual, sex determination and minimizing
the risk during surgery

Authors: Singh Ajeet , Shahazad Shahazad
Published: November 2020

Dual-failure scenarios are a real possibility in today’s optical networks and it is becoming more and more important foe carriers and network operators to consider them when designing their networks. p-Cycle is a recent approach in optical network protection. p-Cycle use preconnected cycles of spare capacity to restore affected working traffic. We propose new method and strategies to support multiple qualities of service classes in a static pcycle based network Design, using the same global set of resources as required to operate a network with only a single failure protected service class. A propose new method to provide dual failures survivability using p-cycle. A p-cycle is set up for each link. When link is failure, the system will on-line select the best route of pcycle to react. In single failure or dual failure, data does not divert randomly in route of p-cycle. Data packets are switched based on priority criteria it means that the higher priority packets go through shortest distance route of pcycle and lowest priority data packets go through longest distance route of p-cycle.

Structure-Function Analysis Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Homologue GapB in Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: ALMEHMADİ Samah
Published: November 2020

Glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is the most studied reference protein that catalysis the inter-conversion reaction of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate into 1,3-diphosphoglycerate using NAD+ as coenzyme. GAPDH is also recognized as an important player in DNA repair mechanisms, autophagic and apoptotic cell deaths and posttranslational modifications. Staphylococcus aureus is Gram positive commensal pathogenic bacteria. In the genome of S. aureus, GapA was assumed to be a glycolytic GAPDH and GapB was assumed to be a gluconeogenic GAPDH. The crystal structure of GapA has already been in preceding studies. However, to my knowledge, no structural studies on the gapB homologue is available in the literature. The main aims of this study were to analyze physicochemical properties and generate a homology model structure of GAPDH homologue GapB in S. aureus. This was carried out by Protparam tool, Phyre2 homology modeling server and PSIPRED secondary structure analysis tool. ProtParam predicted that GapB is a stable and liposoluble protein. Homology modeling studies revealed that each subunit of GapB was made up by two domains: the NAD coenzyme binding-domain and the catalytic domain. The NAD binding domain was shown to contain a Rossman fold. On the other hand, the catalytic domain was made up by a mixture of eight strands of beta sheet and seven alfa helices. PSIPRED analysis revealed that the secondary structure of the GapB contains α-helices (29.91%), extended strands (24.63%) and random coil (45.45%).

O direito à modificação do registro civil por pessoa transexual
Authors: Morais Leonardo Stoll de , Medeiros Gabriela Fernandez de , Rios Roger Raupp
Published: November 2020

Este artigo identifica os diferentes discursos jurídicos constantes na jurisprudência dos tribunais superiores quanto à modificação do registro civil por pessoa transexual. Tratase de uma pesquisa de análise qualitativa dividida em duas fases: na primeira, analisamos a posição dos ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal na ADI 4.275/DF; na segunda, foram investigados precedentes do Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Os discursos jurídicos identificados foram classificados em três grupos: discurso essencialista, fiscalizador e emancipatório. No discurso essencialista, a transexualidade é vista como patologia que deve ser comprovada por meio de laudo médico. No discurso fiscalizador, a pessoa transexual necessita comprovar cabalmente sua situação jurídica perante o Poder Judiciário. No discurso emancipatório, se reconhece o livre desenvolvimento da identidade de gênero dos indivíduos que se percebem como transexuais, admitindo-se a alteração administrativa do seu registro civil a partir da manifestação de vontade, sem interferência médica ou judicial. Em todos os discursos, a pessoa transexual detém o direito subjetivo de alterar seu prenome e sexo no registro civil. Contudo, os requisitos para o reconhecimento desse direito são diferentes, variando conforme posição adotada.

Para uma teoria do exemplo lexicográfico: formas e funções da exemplificação em dicionários semasiológicos
Authors: Farias Virginia Sita
Published: November 2020

A exemplificação nos dicionários de língua é um tópico de suma importância no âmbito (meta)lexicográfico. Não obstante, ainda não existe um modelo teórico que sirva como base para a elaboração e apresentação de exemplos funcionais em dicionários semasiológicos. O objetivo deste trabalho é propor os fundamentos de uma teoria do exemplo lexicográfico. Para tanto, em primeiro lugar, discutiremos a relação entre a forma do exemplo e suas respectivas funções, e, em segundo lugar, proporemos critérios que permitam converter o exemplo em um fato funcional na microestrutura de obras lexicográficas.
Marcas de uso em dicionários escolares Tipo 2
Authors: Bertonha Fábio Henrique de Carvalho
Published: November 2020

Neste artigo, pretendemos refletir sobre dicionários escolares que estão inseridos no PNLD 2012: Dicionário, que se divide em quatro grupos de dicionários voltados ao Ensino Fundamental; desse agrupamento, interessa-nos examinar aqueles do Tipo 2 por serem as primeiras obras dicionarísticas nas quais aparecem marcas de uso (nosso objeto de pesquisa). Dentre os sete dicionários pertencentes a esse grupo, analisamos Geiger (2011) e Saraiva Júnior (2009), comparando suas etiquetas àquelas de Houaiss (2009) e Ferreira (2010). Baseando-nos em Fajardo (1997), Strehler (1998), Garriga Escribano (2003), Welker (2004), Zavaglia (2009) e Gutiérrez Cuadrado (2011), notamos que as marcas são usadas para destacar, além de contextualizar, itens próprios ao universo infantil. Resulta que não há uma padronização metodológica quanto à escolha de um rótulo em detrimento a outro, tampouco pedagógica, propósito primeiro ao consulente escolar, para sua produção textual.
Texto e imagem: a complementaridade intersemiótica em dicionários escolares Tipo 2
Authors: Nascimento Francisco Iaci do , Pontes Antônio Luciano
Published: November 2020

O texto dos dicionários escolares se utiliza de ilustrações para complementar as definições. Nosso objetivo com este artigo é investigar e descrever os tipos de relações semânticas intersemióticas existentes entre texto e imagem nos verbetes ilustrados dos dicionários escolares tipo 2. Adotamos o modelo proposto por Royce (1998) para o estudo das relações intersemióticas entre texto e imagem. Desenhamos uma pesquisa quati-qualitativa em que verificamos a ocorrência ou não da complementaridade intersemiótica entre o texto do verbete e a ilustração por meio das seguintes relações semânticas: repetição, sinonímia, meronímia, hiponímia, antonímia e colocação. Os resultados deste estudo demostram que a complementaridade intersemiótica ocorre em quase 90% dos verbetes ilustrados, destacando-se a relação semântica de sinonímia.
O dicionário em sala de aula: orientações para a formação lexicográfica de professores de línguas à luz da lexicografia pedagógica
Authors: De Grandi Lígia , Nadin Odair Luiz
Published: November 2020

Neste artigo apresentamos discussões acerca da Lexicografia Pedagógica e conceitos básicos sobre a estrutura da obra lexicográfica a fim de contribuir ao letramento lexicográfico (DANTAS, 2014) de professores de línguas. Assim, pretendemos que o professor, neste caso específico, de língua espanhola como língua estrangeira possa ampliar sua visão sobre os recursos do dicionário e seu uso como material didático complementar no ensino de línguas. Para isso, elaboramos um Guia teórico-metodológico relativo a alguns recursos que o dicionário traz com o intuito de contribuir na formação do professor em relação à obra lexicográfica. Com a elaboração do Guia, esperamos que o professor motive o uso do dicionário no ensino de línguas já que este pode ser uma obra de mediação para melhorar a competência léxica e, por consequência, a competência comunicativa do aprendiz.
Implementing an Enriched Language Development Program for Learning Support Students
Authors: Smail Alicia , Kucan Linda
Published: November 2020

This article describes how middle school students who qualified for learning support performed in an enhanced language development program known as Word Generation (WG). Word Generation is a cross-curricular language development program designed to improve students’ overall literacy skills by focusing on deepening students’ knowledge of academic language. This study was guided by the following question: How does an enhanced language development program influence students’ vocabulary learning and broader literacy skills? Students demonstrated statistically significant positive differences on the pretest/posttest vocabulary knowledge assessment and maintained that learning on a delayed posttest. Engagement with the WG materials positively influenced students’ abilities to interact with complex texts, engage in effective discussions, and construct influential argumentative essays. The findings show promise for incorporating multifaceted vocabulary instruction such as Word Generation into middle school classrooms with students who struggle with reading.
