On the Structure of Elementary Nets Over Quadratic Fields
Authors: Койбаев В.А.
Published: December 2020

Исследуется структура элементарных сетей над квадратичными полями. Система $\sigma = (\sigma_{ij})$, $1\leq{i, j} \leq{n}$, аддитивных подгрупп кольца $R$ называется сетью (ковром) над
кольцом $R$ порядка $n$, если $ \sigma_{ir} \sigma_{rj} \subseteq{\sigma_{ij}} $ при всех значениях индексов $i$, $r$, $j$. Сеть, рассматриваемая без диагонали, называется
элементарной сетью (элементарный ковер). Элементарная сеть $\sigma = (\sigma_{ij})$ называется неприводимой, если все аддитивные подгруппы $\sigma_{ij}$ отличны от
нуля. Пусть $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}\,)$ - квадратичное поле, $D$ - кольцо целых квадратичного поля $K$, $\sigma = (\sigma_{ij})$ -неприводимая элементарная сеть порядка $n\geq 3$ над $K$, причем
$\sigma_{ij}$ - $D$-модули. Если целое $d$ принимает одно из следующих значений (22 поля): $-1$, $-2$, $-3$, $-7$, $-11$, $-19$, $2$, $3$, $5$, $6$, $7$, $11$, $13$, $17$, $19$, $21$, $29$, $33$, $37$, $41$, $57$, $73$, то для некоторого промежуточного подкольца $P$, $D\subseteq P\subseteq K$, сеть $\sigma$ сопряжена диагональной матрицей из $D(n, K)$ с элементарной сетью идеалов кольца $P$.
A vueltas con la imposición patrimonial: la propuesta de un impuesto sobre las grandes fortunas. Algo cambia y todo sigue igual
Authors:   Universidad Castilla–La Mancha, Campos Yohan Andrés
Published: December 2020

La necesidad de recursos públicos en épocas de profundas crisis económicas y aumento del déficit público lleva a que los gobiernos se replanteen las principales figuras impositivas del sistema tributario con el objetivo de obtener el recaudo suficiente para garantizar el funcionamiento del estado de bienestar. La propuesta de crear un nuevo impuesto sobre las grandes fortunas y derogar el maltrecho impuesto sobre el patrimonio, en la búsqueda de la reconstrucción económica “post-COVID”, es una medida que reaviva un debate que nunca parece haberse cerrado, las necesidades, usos, problemáticas y consecuencias que trae un impuesto sobre el capital. Este documento trata de resumir esa problemática y de buscar soluciones para una herramienta que consideramos adecuada para alcanzar los objetivos de justicia tributaria y redistribución de la riqueza, siempre y cuando, la misma sea estructurada con fundamento en medidas que ayuden a solucionar las deficiencias mostradas por el actual impuesto sobre el patrimonio.

O texto analisa as posições adotadas pelos intelectuais da Escola Superior de Guerra (ESG) em relação à constituição de uma nova orientação para as Forças Armadas brasileiras diante da realidade geopolítica decorrente do final da Guerra Fria e das ações unilaterais dos Estados Unidos (EUA). Demonstra também como os esguianos repensaram, no período entre 1989 e 2006, a ligação militar e doutrinária com os EUA, questão presente na Escola desde a sua fundação. E assinala ainda como estes pensadores passaram a considerar a ameaça de uma intervenção estadunidense em território brasileiro e como defender soberania nacional diante desse risco potencial.

We compare statistical models usually employed in credit risk forecasting with machine learning algorithms (ML). Using a large dataset which includes financial ratios and credit behavioral indicators for about 300,000 Italian non-financial firms from 2011 to 2017, we show that training the models on financial statement data only, ML models record a significant improvement in discriminatory power and precision with respect to statistical models; however, this improvement is less pronounced when we enlarge the training dataset to include also credit behavioral data

There is growing evidence that ESG investments have demonstrated higher resiliency to the COVID-19 pandemic shock. While the performance of mutual funds is largely documented, there is limited evidence on stocks, especially in the European market. In this paper we focus on the environmental dimension of firms and we identify a green cluster among listed companies in the EU using a comprehensive database of environmental information. We let the data speak: we identify three clusters of firms (green, non-green and brown) by using clustering techniques and we evaluate their financial performances (return, risk and liquidity) over the full sample period and around the COVID-19 Crisis. We find that green firms yielded a lower return than non-green firms, especially after the Paris Agreement. However, in March 2020, green firms performed better than the other clusters. We find evidence that the COVID-19 period is not a special case, since green firms perform generally better during market contractions. We then extend standard asset pricing models by including the Green Risk Factor, the difference between the green and brown portfolios’ returns and we find that the Factor is significant for a large fraction of firms suggesting that climate risk is priced in stocks.
Glimpses Into the History of Interlingual Simultaneous Theater Interpreting in Estonia
Authors: Sibul Karin
Published: December 2020

This paper examines the practice of simultaneous interpretation of theater performances, in particular between Estonian and Russian, in Estonia over 70 years. This type of interpreting has not received much scholarly attention; rather, studies have mostly focused on the sign language interpretation of theater performances for the deaf community. I conducted interdisciplinary historical research relying on the oral history method to help preserve the fast-disappearing oral heritage of theater interpreting. This paper distinguishes between two periods in theater interpreting in Estonia, as determined by two drastically different sociopolitical periods in Estonia’s history. Drawing upon a total of 88 interviews with interpreters, people who recruited interpreters, and audience members, I identified and interviewed a total of 15 theater interpreters. I also analysed newspaper articles and performance schedules, which usually yielded single-word mentions of interpretation having taken place. This paper examines answers to the questions of who interpreted what, how, and when, and reaches the conclusion that theater interpreting can be a tool to bridge a gap between two communities as well as to facilitate integration in the same cultural space.
Metaphor as Creativity in Audio Descriptive Tours for Art Museums
Authors: Luque Colmenero María Olalla , Soler Gallego Silvia
Published: December 2020

In a previous corpus-based descriptive study, we concluded that a linguistic metaphor is a frequently used technique in audio description (AD) for art museums and proposed a set of categories to describe this resource. These results led us to compose increasingly creative and subjective ADs for a series of audio descriptive guided tours of art exhibitions carried out within the Words to See accessibility project. In the present study, the same categories are applied to the analysis of the ADs created for these guided tours. In these ADs, metaphors are used to describe both representational and abstract art, while some categories of deliberate metaphor are more frequently used to describe abstract works. These results are discussed in relation to our and other authors’ studies in this field, as well as to theories of art education and gallery teaching.

Published: December 2020

Widal examination is a serological method to diagnose typhoid fever used by Godean II Public Health Center, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY). However, this method is difficult to hold onto because there is no agreement on agglutination standards. A positive Widal test result is not necessarily typhoid fever. Therefore, the results really need to be confirmed by other supporting examinations. IgM anti Salmonella IgG rapid test is one of the serological tests to support the diagnosis of typhoid fever which has better sensitivity and specificity to handle specific antibodies against Salmonella typhi in serum. This study aims to examine the results of the serological test of Immunoglobulin Miu (IgM) Anti Salmonella gamma immunoglobulin (IgG) on positive widal samples at Godean II Public Health Center and to see the lowest positive widal titers IgM antisalmonella in the sample. This research is a descriptive study with accidental sampling technique. The method of examination used a rapid test immunochromatography to examine IgM IgG anti Salmonella typhi on positive widal serum samples at Puskesmas Godean II, Sleman, DIY. The results showed that 21.7% of the samples were positive IgG negative IgM; 8.7% of IgM samples were positive IgG positive, and 69.6% IgM negative IgG negative. Anti Salmonella IgM in widal positive samples appeared at titer 320. Anti Salmonella typhi IgM and IgG were detected in positive widal samples at Godean II Public Health Center. Immunoglobulin Miu (IgM) appears at titer 320.

Authors: Píngel Erráez Juan Carlos , Guerrero Pozo Erika Pilar
Published: December 2020

Introducción. El presente artículo sobre las estrategias de afrontamiento ante el estrés de la recaída al consumo de dro-gas, se basa en un análisis efectuado a una población de 6 adolescentes que se encuentran en situación de consumo de sustancias. Su estadio de cambio permi-te de esta forma obtener una aproxima-ción de aquellos factores de protección que deben ser potencializados ante un tratamiento de rehabilitación ante este fenómeno socioeconómico. De igual for-ma la escala de afrontamiento en adoles-centes permite conocer aproximaciones de vulnerabilidad que pueden potenciali-zar en los adolescentes en rehabilitación puedan recaer nuevamente en su con-sumo. Objetivo. Aproximación teórica como punto de partida ante un modelo de rehabilitación basado en el afrontamiento de los adolescentes hacia el estrés que le produce la recaída al consumo de drogas. Materiales y métodos. El test usado es la Escala de Afrontamiento de Adolescen-tes propuesto por Frydenberg, E. y Lewis, R. Resultados. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los adolescentes encues-tados, que se encuentran en rehabilita-ción, por el consumo de drogas, afrontan la situación problema con la guía e inter-vención de la sociedad. Otro resultado a resaltar en la falta o no afrontamiento que señalan los adolescentes, situación que los lleva a un estado de vulnerabilidad, donde se debe hacer énfasis a la inter-vención terapéutica. Conclusión. Una aproximación teórica del afrontamiento por parte de los adolescentes ante una si-tuación fenomenológica, permitiría un mo-delo de intervención personalizado desde la potencialización de factores de pro-tección y reducción de la vulnerabilidad.

Tânia Ferreira Rezende, que contou com a presença de membros do Obiah: Grupo de Estudos Interculturais Decoloniais da Linguagem. A conversa teve duração de três horas, mas aqui trazemos um recorte das discussões referentes à formação docente e à educação linguística. A proposta da roda de conversa foi motivada pelas problematizações sobre decolonialidade construídas por Tânia Rezende em diferentes espaços – acadêmicos ou não – no Centro-Oeste brasileiro. Tais problematizações têm fomentado novas indagações e desestabilizações para nossas práticas formativas no âmbito da Linguística Aplicada Crítica, que gostaríamos de ver ecoadas no restante do Brasil.
Metassíntese qualitativa sobre a manutenção em espanhol como língua de herança em contexto brasileiro
Authors: Borges Érica Fernandes , Oliveira Chaves Idalena
Published: December 2020

Nos últimos anos, a discussão sobre a manutenção do espanhol como língua de herança, doravante ELH, tem sido alvo de crescente debate na Linguística Aplicada (MONTRUL, 2012; VALDÉS, 2001; WONG FILLMORE, 2000; MORENO FERNÁNDEZ, 2005). Podemos afirmar que, de forma geral, os estudos sobre a manutenção do ELH estão voltados para as áreas da Linguística e da Sociolinguística e buscam identificar as razões pelas quais tais fenômenos ocorrem. A maioria dos estudos sobre o tema em questão foram realizados nos Estados Unidos, país que abriga um grande número de hispanofalantes. Diante de tal fato, a fim de apontar possíveis lacunas, esse estudo tem como objetivo mapear os artigos voltados para a manutenção do ELH no Brasil. Os resultados evidenciam uma lacuna referente aos estudos sobre a manutenção do ELH em território brasileiro. Com resultados obtidos, espera-se que outros pesquisadores de ELH no Brasil possam se beneficiar desse estudo para justificar a importância de pesquisas sobre a manutenção do espanhol como língua de herança em contexto brasileiro.

Meningkatnya pengetahuan petani tentang dampak buruk yang berkepanjangan penggunaan pupuk kimia sintetis menjadikan praktik tumpangsari dengan tanaman legum semakin digemari. Penelitian terdahulu menyebutkan tumpangsari dengan tanaman legum dapat menjadi pupuk nitrogen organik. Pada petani kentang, tanaman legum yang syarat hidupnya sama dengan syarat hidup tanaman kentang adalah kacang faba. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hasil tanaman pada beberapa model tumpangsari kentang dan kacang faba. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari 2020 sampai bulan Mei 2020, di Kebun Percobaan Fakultas Pertanian dan Bisnis UKSW Salaran, Kecamatan Getasan, Kabupaten Semarang (ketinggian 1500-1700 mdpl). Perlakuan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kentang dan kacang faba ditanam pada bedengan bermulsa dengan rasio 2:1 (P1), kacang faba ditanam pada setiap sela dua bedengan kentang bermulsa (P2), kacang faba ditanam pada setiap sela bedengan kentang bermulsa (P3), tanaman kentang dengan sistem monokultur yang ditanam pada bedengan bermulsa (P4) dan tanaman kacang faba yang ditanam pada satu bedengan persegi empat tanpa mulsa (P5). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hasil tanaman kentang tertinggi pada P tetapi hasilnya tidak memenuhi standar varietas granola, serta tanaman kacang faba tidak memberikan hasil. Hasil tanaman kentang  demikian karena pada saat pembentukan umbi terjadi serangan penyakit yang menyerang daun sehingga alat fotosintesis terganggu. Hasil kacang faba demikian karena pengaruh suhu lingkungan yang tidak mendukung pembentukan polong.

COVID 19 & THE WORLD ECONOMY: STRATEGIES FOR ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND SUSTAINABILITY SAVINGS INTEREST RATE REVIEW IN NIGERIA
Authors:   Department of Economics, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, I. Ajoje
Published: December 2020

The emergence of COVID 19 has adversely affected the global economy as it has practically shut down the global economy since its emergence. Governments of each country have taken drastic decisions in order to save its citizens from the death associated with this highly infectious disease. Such decisions include; total halt in academic, economic and social activities. This has adversely shrunk the economies as their revenue generation power dwindled with an increased expenditure on research, palliatives and sensitisation about the disease. A near collapse of the global economy has been projected towards end of 2020. In order to avert this, economic decision makers are taking different actions and policies that will reduce the shock of this disaster and also revamp the economy. This period coincides with when Nigerian economy is just recovering from the 2016 economic recession with declining per capita income as well as collapsing global oil prices. In order to recover the economy which has previously been characterised by dwindling economic indicators, the Government applied some structural changes targeted at the Medium and Small scale enterprises. To further recover the Nigerian economy, the Central Bank of Nigeria through the Monetary Policy Committee has announced a cut in the savings interest rate on local currency to be negotiable subject to 10 percent of the Monetary Policy Rate which is 12.5 percent effective September 1, 2020 leaving the minimum savings rate at 1.25 percent. This will reviewed and accessed as it affects investment, GDP, Consumption, Savings and how quickly and effectively this can revamp the economy considering all other factors such as the Foreign Direct Investment and the fluctuating global oil prices.

Published: December 2020

The implementation of post conflict disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programme is usually characterised by several problems and challenges at various stages hence, this paper examined DDR problems and challenges in Africa. The paper argues that DDR programmes can only be effective if it is conducted in line with approved international standards as enshrined in the Integrated, Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Standards (IDDRS) manual. The study adopted the basic human needs theory as its theoretical framework and derived its data from secondary sources. The data collected were analysed qualitatively since the study was a descriptive study. The study revealed that DDR programme is a post-conflict nonviolent conflict resolution framework which been applied in several African countries including Nigeria, Angola, Liberia etc. Findings from the study also shows that the implementation of DDR programme in Africa is faced with series of challenges yet it has helped in transforming and resettling several ex-combatants and warlords back to normal civil society. Thus, for any DDR programme to be effective, attention must be paid to monitoring, supervision and the general welfare needs of ex-combatants and trainees in order to build trust and confidence from all the parties and stakeholders.
Reflexões sobre a interpretação marxista da teoria política de Bento Espinosa feita por Ellen Meiksins Wood
Authors: Helanski Juliane
Published: December 2020

Bento Espinosa (1632-1677), filósofo que viveu na Holanda do século XVII, não costuma ser estudado nos cursos de Ciências Sociais como um dos precursores da Ciência Política, embora sua teoria política tenha sido retomada por alguns especialistas – tais como Marilena Chauí e Antonio Negri – que mostram que a sua teoria da democracia pode ser profundamente emancipadora. Uma visão diferenciada dessa teoria foi apresentada por outra pesquisadora marxista – Ellen Meiksins Wood – que diverge das demais interpretações, enfatizando aspectos mais conservadores da teoria política do filósofo. Abordamos neste artigo as principais características teórico-metodológicas do contextualismo social por meio de uma reflexão analítica da interpretação marxista da teoria política de Bento Espinosa feita por Ellen Meiksins Wood. Utilizamos o material elaborado por Silva (2016) com base no artigo de Neal Wood (1978) sob a forma de sete tabelas que organizam vários conjuntos de questões, objetivando destacar o que seria relevante no contexto social do autor que está sendo estudado e cuja obra se pretende entender e explicar. Assim, acreditamos exemplificar de forma didática a aplicação do contextualismo social para uma melhor compreensão e explicação do pensamento político de Bento Espinosa.
Implementation of Block Chain Technology and Internet of Things: An Introduction
Authors: Ali Mohammed Rahmat
Published: December 2020

Internet of things or internet of everywhere is considered as the modern weapon used to control monitor or access anything anywhere at any time. Internets of things works on the principle of receive, analyse, monitor and respond to and from things connected to it. Anything which is connected to the internet that can receive and send information is considered as Internet of things (IoT). Internet keeps a record of Information which is received from different sources and amount of information being transferred to the network. IoT works follows the distributed computing concept in which information is been shared and stored at different places for a backup. Block chain technology is the concept of collection and storing of information called blocks and are hierarchal structure which generates a hash code of its type to secure the transaction and also to store the information in a secure way. Block chain follows the mechanism of linking the document one to second and list to other records to create chain of network called block chain. The use of block chain technology in Internet of Things generates a new form of model which comprises of connection of networks which monitors the networks chain of transaction so that the security and authenticity of the network can be maintained. The network cannot be manipulated and data cannot be changed. If the data is changed or is been manipulated or the sequence of data is changed it reflects the whole network resulting in mismatch of the data and data can easily been identified of change. Block chain works with the principle of hash code, every transaction that happened will generate a hash code and based on the previous transactions code the nest transaction takes place. This creates a chain in custody of transaction in block chain. So it helps in making a track of information and transaction in internet of things, as the data is shared and is distributes the data can be stored in the form of block chain and no venerability can happen to the data in terms of breaching.
"Modern" suburbs in lockdown: the INA CASA neighbourhood by Filippo Rovigo in Messina
Authors: Calabrese Luigi , Di Bella Guido , Fiandaca Ornella , Minutoli Fabio , Lione Raffaella , Arena Marina , Todesco Fabio
Published: December 2020

The recent CoViD-19 emergency, a dramatic issue for our health, and the vexata quaestio of the existing buildings recovery, especially of the neighborhood, are the ends of an Ariadne's thread that must help us find an exit from the two huge problems. These issues, coupled by the isolation constrain, can be converted in a great opportunity by using targeted choices, supported by sustainability criteria that are now unavoidable.

In the present paper, a specific suburban area- former Fondo Basile by architect Filippo Rovigo, on the northern edge of Messina was selected. For this area - following the original indications formulated by the emerging "neorealist" culture for garden cities – we intend: to redefine barrier-free paths; to add green and blue infrastructures; to evaluate incidences on energy performance; to redesign interior spaces to accept the need for sterilization and “flexible” furnishings; to experiment with functionalized surfaces (self-cleaning, antibacterial, heat-insulating); to introduce ad hoc home automation.

Therefore, it is necessary to start from a very serious accident on which we stumbled exploiting this experience in order to look at the virus as an opportunity for a general rebirth of the neighbourhood. This latter can be based on new or experimental concepts in order to allow a sustainable restoration of the Modern Architecture, addressed to the second post-war period heritage, not guaranteed by the constrained regime provided for by the Cultural Heritage Code. This possibility is back in the fore thanks to a more recent strategic direction for the protection of "new landscapes" promoted by the Regional Department for Sicilian culture and identity.

O tempo e as suas possíveis relações com o cinema e com a literatura são o fio condutor deste artigo. Os processos psicossomáticos podem proporcionar-nos diferentes sensações e, consequentemente, diferentes percepções relativas à passagem do tempo, ganhando, no suporte cinematográfico, um potencial de experimentação eminente. Este fenómeno pode incentivar a passagem do espetador de um plano extradiagético para um plano intradiagético, conferindo-lhe um papel ativo na construção da narrativa. No entanto, este potencial não é exclusivo do filme interativo e já tinha sido trabalhado na literatura, por autores como Jorge Luís Borges e Italo Calvino.

The CECT scan of the abdomen at axial and coronal views show gas bubbles tracking along the inner wall of the ascending colon and hepatic flexure, which is separated from the intraluminal gas within the bowel. These intramural gas bubbles appear to be outlining the bowel wall circumferentially. The bowel wall appears to be thickened however the inner mucosa is not enhanced. There are no ascites in the images provided. The colon of the hepatic flexure and transverse colon appears dilated. No significant atherosclerotic plaque in the visualised arteries. Based on the clinical presentations and CECT features in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the best diagnosis for him is benign pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) secondary to obstructed low rectal cancer. He was subjected for a trephine transverse colostomy to relieve the obstruction with simultaneous transanal rectal mass biopsy. Once the histology is available, he subsequently will be referred for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment and later for a low anterior resection, provided that it is a localized disease.

Abstrak 

Penekanan terhadap kepentingan keselamatan yang berkesan adalah amat penting untuk kecemerlangan sesebuah organisasi (Overheul, 2001). Pelbagai faktor luaran dan dalaman organisasi yang sering kali berubah mendorong pihak organisasi agar peka dengan ancaman persekitaran. Di tempat kerja, kajian tentang isu keselamatan pekerja menjadi satu perbincangan yang serius dari semasa ke semasa (Cox & Cheyne, 2000). Justeru, kajian ini dilakukan untuk mengenal pasti tahap keselamatan pekerja, faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi pekerja untuk mengabaikan keselamatan dan tahap kesediaan organisasi terhadap sebarang kejadian kemalangan. Kajian ini melibatkan 70 orang responden yang bertugas di bawah Perbadanan Stadium Hang Jebat, Melaka. Bagi memperoleh data kajian, kaedah tinjauan menggunakan borang soal selidik telah diedarkan kepada responden. Data dianalisis menggunakan program IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) statistic versi 24. Kaedah analisis berbentuk deskriptif seperti kekerapan, peratusan dan min digunakan bagi menjawab objektif kajian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap keselamatan di lokasi kajian adalah memuaskan kerana kempen dan aktiviti yang berkaitan dengan keselamatan sentiasa dilaksanakan. Sementara itu, tahap kesediaan organisasi dalam menghadapi kemalangan di tempat kerja berada pada tahap yang baik kerana penggubalan polisi keselamatan berkait rapat dengan suasana kerja. Cuaca panas yang melampau dikenal pasti sebagai salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan para pekerja mengabaikan aspek keselamatan di tempat kerja. 

Kata kunci: Keselamatan, tempat kerja, pengurusan, pekerja, amalan.

Abstract

Emphasizing on effective workplace safety is crucial for organizational excellence (Overheul, 2001). Changes in external and internal factors encourage the organization to be aware of environmental threats. In the workplace, studies on employee safety become a serious discussion across the world (Cox & Cheyne, 2000). Hence, this study is conducted to identify the level of employeeâ€™s safety, the dominant factors affecting employees to neglect the safety and the level of organizational readiness against any incidents. This study involved 70 respondents who were under the Stadium Hang Jebat Corporation, Melaka. A questionnaire was distributed to respondents to obtain the data. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) Statistic version 24. Descriptive analysis methods such as frequency, percentage and mean were used to answer the objective of the study. The results showed that the safety level was satisfactory and the readiness of the organization to deal with workplace accidents was at a good level. Extreme hot weather has been identified as one of the factors that causes workers to ignore safety at workplace.
