Authors: Sardelich Maria Emilia , Panho Guilherme
Published: April 2019

Este artigo apresenta uma cartografia sobre o Ensino das Artes Visuais na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), entre 2014 e 2018. A BNCC insere-se nas políticas curriculares que ultrapassa seus domínios, sendo representada como uma reforma educacional. Os aspectos mais destacados vinculam-se ao contexto de produção do documento, enfatizando a desvalorização da Arte nessa política curricular frente a já conquistada demarcação como conhecimento em políticas anteriores, o que demandou um amplo movimento de resistência de artistas e educadores. Os resultados apontam para uma ausência de dissertações e teses que discutam essa política curricular para o Ensino das Artes Visuais cotejando as várias versões do documento, indicando suas continuidades e descontinuidades em virtude dos projetos educacionais em disputa.
Currículo como possibilidade de formação docente em arte: um olhar sobre a rede pública estadual paulista
Authors: Rodrigues Maristela Sanches
Published: April 2019

Este texto parte da premissa de que currículos oficiais se constituem como parte das políticas públicas para a educação e que representam possibilidades de formação docente. A partir de pesquisa realizada com professoras/es de arte da rede pública estadual paulista (2012-2016), o texto procura refletir sobre encontros e desencontros entre as concepções formativas dessas/es professoras/es e as concepções trazidas pelo currículo de arte oficial de São Paulo (2008-atual). Concepções de arte, de acesso à arte, de ensino de arte e de currículo de Arte, reveladas nas conversas com 18 professoras/es de Arte, provocaram reflexões quanto à relevância de um cuidadoso trabalho de formação docente para atuação com um currículo, formação essa que permita às/aos docentes identificar, compreender, desconstruir e reconstruir suas próprias concepções formativas na relação com o currículo, de maneira a nutrir e sustentar suas escolhas para o ensino/aprendizagem da arte que consideram desejável e/ou imprescindível a seus contextos escolares.

Trabajo emocional: conceptos y características Revisión de literatura
Authors: López-Posada Laura Marcela , González-Rubio Janeth , Blandón-López Alexander
Published: April 2019

Este artículo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión de literatura relacionada con el trabajo emocional, analizando sus principales conceptualizaciones, tendencias en investigación e investigadores destacados. La revisión se sustenta en búsquedas exhaustivas en revistas especializadas en el trabajo emocional y comportamiento organizacional, así como en libros y artículos nacionales. Examinar la relación del trabajo emocional con los resultados de la organización es especialmente necesario, porque una de las razones primarias por las que las organizaciones requieren el trabajo emocional es que la expresión emocional tiene una fuerte influencia en el comportamiento de las ventas y el desempeño organizacional. Finalmente, la temática de trabajo emocional ha sido poco explorada en el campo de investigación del comportamiento y la psicología organizacional, y puede ser abordada multidimensionalmente desde factores tanto individuales como organizacionales.

Published: April 2019

La accesibilidad espacial es el primer elemento necesario para garantizar la inclusión social de las personas con discapacidad. El objetivo de esta disertación se centra en reflexionar acerca de la necesidad de alcanzar el acceso total al medio físico por parte de este grupo humano. El debate se plantea responder a los interrogantes de ¿cuáles son las estrategias empleadas por los gobiernos para superar la exclusión social de este grupo humano al medio físico? y ¿En qué difieren las estrategias de América Latina y Europa? Para tal fin se generó un diálogo entre veintitrés fuentes consultadas. Como conclusión se destaca que las ciudades tienen en común la voluntad política para proponer y desarrollar estrategias de accesibilidad a fin de avanzar en la inclusión social y garantizar el derecho a la ciudad de las personas con discapacidad. Es así como, a pesar de las limitaciones que aún persisten, se resalta el incremento en la sensibilización en estos temas que los han llevado a pensarse un desarrollo territorial considerando la singularidad de sus ciudadanos.
Incidencia de la violencia física en la población LGBT en Ecuador
Authors: Botello-Peñaloza Hector Alberto , Guerrero-Rincón Isaac
Published: April 2019

Inter-gender violence is a phenomenon that in recent years has become visible in Latin America, however, and unlike the developed countries, the region has no studies on this reality and instruments to improve it. Consequently, the objective of this paper is to find the determinants of physical violence in Ecuador through a broad survey of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) groups. The results show that 50% of survey respondents have been assaulted, focusing on transsexuals with low educational level being the most affected. Likewise, the quantitative analysis finds differences between regions, races and reference group (homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, transgender), however, it also highlights the advances that Ecuadorian society has made in this regard. It is concluded that strategies that increase the inclusion of the population of all gender within the opportunities presented to the state will contribute to the reduction of violent tendencies between groups.

Published: April 2019

The paper describes the mechanical properties and the corrosion behaviour of three Al?Si alloys in 0.5 M NaCl solution. The alloys have exhibited similar values of hardness, but the highest tensile strength and the lowest elongation have shown the specimens of alloy with 11.38 % of silicon. Higher content of both copper and magnesium has contributed to better tensile strength and lower elongation of as-cast hypoeutectic alloys. The harmful effects of iron on mechanical properties of all alloys have been reduced to some extent by nickel and cobalt addition. The differences in the values of the open circuit potential of the examined alloys were insignificant. The thickness of the protective oxide layer has increased over time, and the layer has become very compact. Slight differences in the values of the corrosion potential of the alloys were determined, whereas the lowest value of the corrosion current was indicated for the hypereutectic alloy. The presence of intermetallic phases in the alloys has shown that the oxide film was not consistent. The severe pits have not been found at the surface of the corroded samples. Based on the obtained results, the examined alloys may be used for the manufacturing of the internal combustion engine parts.
Target2 imbalances and the ECB’s asset purchase programme. An alternative account
Authors: Febrero Eladio , Uxó Jorge , Álvarez Ignacio
Published: April 2019

The aim of this paper is to investigate the cause behind rising Target2 imbalances since early 2015, coinciding with the implementation of a quantitative easing program by the ECB. Two facts have captured our attention. Firstly, the official explanation of rising Target2 imbalances, offered by the ECB, is not convincing because it does not fit the empirical evidence available for Italy and Spain. Further, our alternative interpretation reveals that through quantitative easing, the ECB has helped to clean up banks? balance sheets and has indirectly funded government spending. Secondly, those who spoke out against the risks of rising Target2 imbalances in 2011-2012, now remain silent on this issue, despite the fact that some of the presumed risks during the first wave of rising imbalances still hold. We interpret this silence as an implicit acceptance that the risks put forward in 2011-2012 are offset by reform fatigue and anti-euro sentiments in the Euro Zone.
Effect of damage on gas seepage mechanism in coal seam based on a coupled model
Authors: Xue Yi , Cao Zhengzheng , Dang Faning , Wang Songhe , He Mingming , Du Feng
Published: April 2019

Damage has a significant impact on gas migration in coal seam. In this paper, a coupled hydraulic-mechanical-damage model is established, which takes into account the coupling relationship among coal damage, gas seepage and coal deformation. The simulation results show that the damage of coal body has little effect on seepage characteristic in the initial stage, but the influence of damage on gas seepage is increasing with the increase of time. Both the distribution of gas pressure and the gas adsorption content of coal body have a significant change.
Coupled hydro-thermal-mechanical analysis for cold CO2 injection into a deep saline aquifer
Authors: Wang Huimin , Wang J.G. , Wang Xiaolin , Dou Fakai , Hu Bowen
Published: April 2019

This study investigated the thermal effects of thermal stress and Joule-Thomson cooling on CO2 migration in a deep saline aquifer through a hydro-thermal-mechanical model. Firstly, the temperature variation of injected CO2 was analyzed through the coupling of two-phase flow, deformation of porous medium and heat transfer with Joule-Thomson effect. Then, the effect of capillary entry pressure on CO2 plume was numerically investigated and compared. It is found that injection temperature and Joule-Thomson effect can significantly affect the distributions of CO2 mass and temperature, particularly in the upper zone near the injection well. The reduction of capillary entry pressure accelerates the upward migration of CO2 plume and increases the CO2 lateral migration distance.
Numerical analysis on the transient cavity flow field during liquid nitrogen jet fracturing
Authors: Cai Chengzheng , Ren Keda , Su Shanjie , Du Menglin , Wang Zekai
Published: April 2019

Liquid nitrogen jet fracturing is expected to provide a novel treatment for reservoir stimulation. To verify its feasibility, the flow fields in cavity at different times are simulated by CFD method. Then the transient temperature and pressure distributions are analyzed. Based on the cavity pressure distributions, the pressure boosting effect is evaluated. The results show that the nitrogen gas close to the cavity entrance is easily pushed out and the temperature in this region decreases quickly during liquid nitrogen jet fracturing. However, the temperature at the cavity bottom increases firstly at the squeezing action of liquid nitrogen jet and then decreases due to the heat transfer induced by the low temperature liquid nitrogen jet. Compared with water jet, the liquid nitrogen jet can generate equivalent pressure boosting effect in the cavity. Due to the compressibility of nitrogen gas, the pressure boosting process of liquid nitrogen jet fracturing falls behind the hydrajet fracturing. This study identifies the pressure boosting capability of liquid nitrogen jet and can further provide theoretical basis for the researches of this fracturing treatment.
Fracture evolution and gas transport laws of coal and rock in one kilometer deep coal mine with complicated conditions
Authors: Zhang Jianguo , Wang Man , Wang Yingwei
Published: April 2019

As coal mining gradually extends deeper, coal seams in China generally show high stress, high gas pressure and low permeability, bringing more difficulty to coal mining. Therefore, in order to strengthen gas extraction, it is necessary to carry out reservoir reconstruction after deep coal seams reached. In this paper, the distribution and evolution laws of fracture zone overlaying strata of J15 seam in Pingdingshan No. 10 coal mine after excavation were studied by combining similar simulation and numerical simulation, meanwhile, the gas transport law within fracture zone was numerically simulated. The results show that the fracture zone reaches a maximum of 350 mm in the vertical direction and is 75 mm away from W9,10 coal seams in vertical distance. Since W9,10 coal seams are in an area greatly affected by the bending zone of J15 coal seam under the influence of mining, the mining of J15 coal seam will exert a strong permeability enhancement effect on W9,10 coal seams. The J15 coal seam can act as a long-distance protective layer of W9,10 coal seams to eliminate the outburst danger of the long-distance coal seams in bending zone with coal and gas outburst danger, thereby achiev?ing safe, productive and efficient integrated mining of coal and gas resources. The gas flux of mining-induced fractures in the trapezoidal stage of mining-induced fracture field is far greater than that in the overlaying stratum matrix. The horizontal separation fractures and vertical broken fractures within the mining-induced fracture field act as passages for gas-flow. Compared with gas transport in the overlaying stratum matrix, the horizontal separation fractures and vertical broken fractures within the mining-induced fracture field play a role in guiding gas-flow. The research results can provide theoretical support for the arrangement of high-level gas extraction boreholes in roof fracture zones.
First investigation on processing parameters for laser powder bed fusion of Ni-Mn-Ga magnetic shape memory alloy
Authors: Laitinen Ville , Salminen Antti , Ullakko Kari
Published: April 2019

The Ni-Mn-Ga alloy develops strains of several percents in an applied magnetic field. These materials have potential as high-speed actuators, valves, pumps, robots, and microgrippers. Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of Ni-Mn-Ga was investigated in order to establish a preliminary processing window and to understand the effects of processing parameters on end-product composition. In the future, L-PBF could enable the production of functional near net shape Ni-Mn-Ga components on an industrial scale. A series of experiments were conducted for prealloyed Ni-Mn-Ga powder using an L-PBF setup developed in-house. Two different substrate materials, stainless steel 316L and Incoloy 825, were used in the experiments. The single track experiments show that tracks deposited on Incoloy substrates, in comparison to tracks deposited on stainless steel substrates, are wider and have shallower penetration into the substrate. In addition, the tracks deposited on the Incoloy substrates are more likely to exhibit irregular and balling morphologies. The results of the single track and hatching distance experiments were used to manufacture Ni-Mn-Ga cuboids on an Incoloy substrate. Analysis of the cuboid compositions revealed that L-PBF of Ni-Mn-Ga dilutes manganese and gallium. The relative amounts of vaporized manganese and gallium increased as the value of volumetric energy density was increased.
Laser additive manufacturing of Zn metal parts for biodegradable implants: Effect of gas flow on evaporation and formation quality
Authors: Chen Yanzhe , Wen Peng , Voshage Maximilian , Jauer Lucas , Qin Yu , Schleifenbaum Johannes Henrich , Poprawe Reinhart
Published: April 2019

Zn based metals have exhibited promising applications for biodegradable medical implants. Although additive manufacturing has been widely investigated for many medical metals, only a handful of very recent reports can be found on laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of pure Zn cubes. Severe evaporation occurred during laser melting of Zn powders due to the low boiling point of Zn metal. The formation quality was either not satisfactory or the obtained processing window was too narrow. In this paper, a specially designed gas flow system was used in order to eliminate the negative effect of Zn metal evaporation on the processing of L-PBF. Numerical analysis was used to simulate the velocity distribution of shielding gas flow and the interaction between the gas flow and the evaporation fume based on computation fluid dynamics with considering different shielding flow designs and laser energy inputs. Pure Zn metal parts were obtained with density over 99.90% after the optimization of shielding gas flow and laser energy input. The areal surface roughness (Sa) of L-PBF parts was about 10 μm at side surfaces for as-melted status, and reduced to 4.83 μm after sandblasting. The effects of gas flow and laser energy input on evaporation and formation quality were discussed. An effective method was provided to deal with metal evaporation during L-PBF processing, which was not only beneficial to additive manufacturing of Zn based metals, but also to other active metals with high evaporation tendency like Mg and Al alloys.

Authors: Zhang Jiaru , Lin Wenting , Guan Yingchun , Gu Xuenan
Published: April 2019

Surface properties play a significant role in the interaction between cells and implants. In this paper, the authors present a hybrid method including laser melting and laser surface texturing on Mg-Gd-Ca alloy to control cell behavior. Microstructure characterization was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy, and corrosion resistance was measured in Hank's solution using electrochemical measurement and hydrogen evolution. Results show that the combined effect of the dissolution of the β phase and the formation of the homogeneous a-Mg solid solution in the laser melted layer significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Mg-Gd-Ca alloy. In vitro cell culture shows that MC3T3-E1 cells exhibited good viability and adhesion behavior on the laser-modified surface. The MC3T3-E1 cells were elongated along the direction of texture due to the anisotropic and persistent mechanical stimulus effect. They propose that the enhanced performance accompanied by the simplicity of fabrication makes laser surface modification a promising candidate for biomedical applications in biomedical devices.

The Phenomenon of New Religious Movements: Transformation of Religiousness in a Modern Sociocultural Situation
Authors: Sidorenko Natalia Sergeevna ,   Krasnodar Air Force Institute for Pilots, Shakhtorin Aleksandr Aleksandrovich ,   Krasnodar Air Force Institute for Pilots
Published: April 2019

In the modern complex and evolving world, religion still plays a significant role. There are new religious movements that demonstrate changes in religiousness and religious consciousness evident in novel religious images and their forms. The authors compare the contemporary religious movements to the traditional religious organizations. Modern religious movements are of an informal nature and dependent on the activity of a social group rather than a historical tradition. The intelligent component in such movements recedes into the background, is simplified and schematized. The emotional and psychological factor of the religious act gains ground, and the transformation of religiousness is regarded as an adaptation to the individual needs. The authors believe that common views on this issue should be developed to analyze religiousness from the historical and sociocultural perspective.

Published: April 2019

The significant increment of waste concrete in recent years that is happening worldwide has a tremendous consequence to the environment. Recycling concrete wastes will reduce the amount of waste as well as save natural resources, thus help promote green and sustainable development. This study presents an experimental investigation dealing with the development of green concrete using recycled concrete waste (RCWA) as coarse aggregate replacement materials. The mechanical properties of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in terms of its compressive and flexural strengths were determined. The main parameter considered is the percentage of RCWA in the concrete design of RC beams that ranges from 0% to 50%.  From the test results, it was observed that the flexural strength and the compression strength decreased as the percentage of recycled concrete waste aggregate used increased. Generally, the flexural strength of RC beam with RCWA can be 5% to 12.4% lower than that of conventional concrete made with natural course aggregate.

Published: April 2019

The involvement of households in the recycling activity in the last decade has been perceived as an effective way to reduce the amount of solid wastes in the landfill areas as well as to reuse the materials. The recycling practice among the public is very crucial in order to reduce the problem of overwhelming landfills and energy. The ever-increasing flow of household waste is an enormous environmental problem in many countries. By looking at the tremendous amount of solid wastes, Malaysia needs public participation in solid waste management by recycling the unused materials. Thus, the present study explores predictors that lead households to participate in recycling activities. A qualitative approach is employed in this study where key stakeholders were interviewed in order to get their different perspectives with regard to recycling activities among households. This study is vital as it supplements the information to the existing body of knowledge on households’ recycling activity in Malaysia.

The method used in this research is correlative descriptive analytic with cross-sectional design. Samples taken in this research utilized consecutive sampling technique. The children with cancer who met the inclusion criteria were approached to participate in this research. Sixty children with cancer hospitalized in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung recruited in this research. Mucositis identification utilized Oral Assessment Guide (OAG). Data quality of life (QoL) would be assessed with PedsQoL Cancer Module 3.0. Data were analyzed by Chi-square correlation test. There are 53 children (88.3%) who experienced mucositis. In contrast, there are only 7 children who didn’t experience mucositis (11.7%). Based on this survey, there are 37 children (61.7%) have bad quality of life. Otherwise, 23 children (38.3%) have good quality of life. This research found that there is a significant relationship between mucositis and QoL of children with cancer. Accordingly, the relationship between mucositis cases and QoL of children with cancer valued at 0.006 (p<0.05). Mucositis cause low QoL in children with cancer compared to them without mucositis. Nurse should increase nursing care for children with mucositis as the side effect of chemotherapy. Suggested efforts are to prevent mucositis complication that will impact QoL, such as giving oral care with honey, keeping humid oral mucosa, and preventing infection

Adolescents’ problematic behavior is in relation to premarital sexual behavior. Adolescents’ premarital sexual behavior can cause abortion, unwanted pregnancy, death, potential HIV/AIDS infection as well as moral decency crime in Gowa District. Factors of premarital sexual behavior among adolescents include gender, origin of school, status and frequency of dating, religious norms, household norms, knowledge and the uses of smartphone. This research aims at analyzing adolescents’ characteristics of and the uses of smartphone in relation with premarital sexual behavior among high school students in Gowa District, South Sulawesi Province. It was the correlational design quantitative research. Total samples amounted to 500 high school students in Gowa District, South Sulawesi Province after these were selected with the cluster sampling. The questionnaire used in this research consisted of religious norms (the reliability test results of 0.791, R-value of 0.397–0.678), household norms (the reliability test results of 0.856, R-value of 0.430–0.893), knowledge (the reliability test results of 0.738, R-value of 0.362–0.514), and premarital sexual behavior (the reliability test results of 0.844, R-value of 0,483–0,763), smartphone use with the calculated R value > r table (0.514) the reliability indicates the alpha cronbach’s value> 0.60. The analyzed data use Chi square and logistic regression. The research results show that the premarital sexual behavior has total risk value of 66.0% and the unrisky value of 34.0%. It relates to some adolescents’ characteristics among others frequency of dating (p=0.000), status of dating (p=0.000), religious norms (p=0.000), household norms (p=0.000), knowledge (p=0.000), and smartphone use (p=0.000), the variables of adolescents’ characteristics i.e. gender and the origin of school do not have significant relationship (p> 0.05). The smartphone use is the most significant factor with the premarital sexual behavior (OR=3.583). The smartphone use is the most significant factor with premarital sexual behavior, and therefore, it indicates that teachers at school and parents at home should who carry out the control and adolescent education in the smartphone use are important factors to be upgraded. The school based health education program can avoid the risky premarital sexual behavior, and the program can focus on the control of smartphone use and skill training among adolescents.

Due to its location in the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire”, Indonesia is frequently prone to natural disasters. Therefore, Indonesian nurses need to have the ability to assist in disaster situations as they are considered an important element of the workforce in disaster preparedness and response. However, the current nursing curricula in Indonesia does not adequately prepare nurses to respond in these situations. The primary aim of this study is to understand the experiences of Master of Nursing students’ roles and experiences in disaster settings in a nursing school in East Java, Indonesia. A single-case study design has been used. Data colection occurred via semi-structured interviews. The participants were enrolled in the Master of Nursing in a School of Nursing at a University in East Java. The data for the study were thematically analysed. Four main themes were identified: ‘personal feelings’, ‘working outside their scope of practice’, ‘lack of disaster preparedness’, and ‘a lack of mental health knowledge and care’. This study found that the Master of Nursing students in a nursing school in East Java, Indonesia were not adequately prepared for responding to disaster situations. This study found that a lack of disaster preparedness, working outside scope of practice, and a lack of mental health knowledge were the prominent issues for these Master of Nursing students. As well as commencing disaster training earlier in their education, providing training in the psychological context of disaster preparedness is recommended.
Universidad y lucha de clases. La confluencia de obreros y estudiantes en la Córdoba reformista de 1918
Authors: Díaz de Guijarro Eduardo
Published: April 2019

A partir de la bibliografía existente sobre la Reforma Universitaria de 1918 y la sociedad de la época y de un estudio específico de los conflictos obreros y su relación con el movimiento estudiantil, en este artículo se muestra el carácter capitalista de la economía cordobesa de principio del siglo XX, la existencia de una oligarquía que monopolizaba el poder económico, político y cultural de la provincia y la profunda relación existente entre las luchas de la clase obrera cordobesa y el movimiento estudiantil que protagonizó la Reforma. Esta visión de conjunto permite comprender no solo la magnitud de aquellas movilizaciones sino también sus limitaciones posteriores, vinculadas a las oscilaciones de la lucha de clases en la Argentina.
Comparison of Supervised-Learning Models and Auditory Discrimination of Infant Cries for the Early Detection of Developmental Disorders / Vergleich von Supervised-Learning Klassifikationsmodellen und menschlicher auditiver Diskriminationsfähigkeit zur Unterscheidung von Säuglingsschreien mit kongenitalen Entwicklungsstörungen

Infant cry classification can be performed in two ways: computational classification of cries or auditory discrimination by human listeners. This article compares both approaches.

An auditory listening experiment was performed to examine if various listener groups (naive listeners, parents, nurses/midwives and therapists) were able to distinguish auditorily between healthy and pathological cries as well as to differentiate various pathologies from each other.

Listeners were trained in hearing cries of healthy infants and cries of infants suffering from cleft-lip-and-palate, hearing impairment, laryngomalacia, asphyxia and brain damage. After training, a listening experiment was performed by allocating 18 infant cries to the cry groups.

Multiple supervised-learning classifications models were calculated on the base of the cries’ acoustic properties. The accuracy of the models was compared to the accuracy of the human listeners.

With a Kappa value of 0.491, listeners allocated the cries to the healthy and the five pathological groups with moderate performance. With a sensitivity of 0.64 and a specificity of 0.89, listeners were able to identify that a cry is a pathological one with higher confidence than separating between the single pathologies. Generalized linear mixed models found no significant differences between the classification accuracy of the listener groups. Significant differences between the pathological cry types were found.

Supervised-learning classification models performed significantly better than the human listeners in classifying infant cries. The models reached an overall Kappa value of up to 0.837.

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) mainly include Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and Graves’ disease (GD), which are characterised by the presence of circulating antibodies against various thyroid autoantigens and infiltration of the thyroid gland by autoreactive lymphocytes. Despite the significant advancement in the knowledge of AITD pathogenesis in the last decade, the specific immunological mechanisms responsible for development of the disease are not thoroughly understood. Classically, HT has long been considered as a T helper (Th)1-mediated disease, while a Th2-driven autoimmune response is dominant for GD development. However, this classification has changed due to the description of Th17 lymphocytes, which suggested participation of these cells in AITD, particularly HT pathogenesis. Moreover, a shift in the balance between Th17 and T regulatory (Treg) cells has been observed in thyroid autoimmunity. We have observed overexpression of IL-17, the prominent effector cytokine of Th17, within thyroid tissues from HT and GD patients in our studies. The present review will focus on recent data regarding the role of Treg and Th17 lymphocytes in AITD pathogenesis. In addition, the impact and proposed mechanisms of the predominant environmental factors triggering the autoimmune response to the thyroid will be discussed.
