Shoe-Integrated, Force Sensor Design for Continuous Body Weight Monitoring
Authors: Muzaffar Shahzad , Elfadel Ibrahim (Abe) M.
Published: June 2020

Traditional pedobarography methods use direct force sensor placement in the shoe insole to record pressure patterns. One problem with such methods is that they tap only a few points on the flat sole under the foot and, therefore, do not account for the total ground reaction force. As a result, body weight tends to be under-estimated. This disadvantage has made it more difficult for pedobarography to be used to monitor many diseases, especially when their symptoms include body weight changes. In this paper, the problem of pedobarographic body weight measurement is addressed using a novel ergonomic shoe-integrated sensor array architecture based on concentrating the applied force via three-layered structures that we call Sandwiched Sensor Force Consolidators (SSFC). A shoe prototype is designed with the proposed sensors and shown to accurately measure body weight with an achievable relative accuracy greater than 99%, even in the presence of motion. The achieved relative accuracy is at least 4X better than the existing state of the art. The SSFC shoe prototype is built using readily available soccer shoes and piezoresistive FlexiForce sensors. To improve the wearability and comfort of the instrumented shoe, a semi-computational sensor design methodology is developed based on an equivalent-area concept that can accurately account for SSFC’s with arbitrary shapes. The search space of the optimal SSFC design is shown to be combinatorial, and a high-performance computing (HPC) framework based on OpenMP parallel programming is proposed to accelerate the design optimization process. An optimal sensor design speedup of up to 22X is shown to be achievable using the HPC implementation.

Authors: Ma Yicao , Liu Shifeng , Xue Gang , Gong Daqing
Published: June 2020

The rapid development of urbanization has increased traffic pressure and made the identification of urban functional regions a popular research topic. Some studies have used point of interest (POI) data and smart card data (SCD) to conduct subway station classifications; however, the unity of both the model and the dataset limits the prediction results. This paper not only uses SCD and POI data, but also adds Online to Offline (OTO) e-commerce platform data, an application that provides customers with information about different businesses, like the location, the score, the comments, and so on. In this paper, these data are combined to and used to analyze each subway station, considering the diversity of data, and obtain a passenger flow feature map of different stations, the number of different types of POIs within 800 m, and the situation of surrounding OTO stores. This paper proposes a two-stage framework, to identify the functional region of subway stations. In the passenger flow stage, the SCD feature is extracted and converted to a feature map, and a ResNet model is used to get the output of stage 1. In the built environment stage, the POI and OTO features are extracted, and a deep neural network with stacked autoencoders (SAE–DNN) model is used to get the output of stage 2. Finally, the outputs of the two stages are connected and a SoftMax function is used to make the final identification of functional region. We performed experimental testing, and our experimental results show that the framework exhibits good performance and has a certain reference value in the planning of subway stations and their surroundings, contributing to the construction of smart cities.

Authors: Qin Wenbo , Yuan Zhenyu , Gao Hongliang , Meng Fanli
Published: June 2020

By controlling the hydrothermal time, porous In2O3 nanosheet-assembled micro-flowers were successfully synthesized by a one-step method. The crystal structure, microstructure, and internal structure of the prepared samples were represented by an x-ray structure diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The characterization results showed that when the hydrothermal time was 8 h, the In2O3 nano materials presented a flower-like structure assembled by In2O3 porous nanosheets. After successfully preparing the In2O3 gas sensor, the gas sensing was fully studied. The results show that the In2O3 gas sensor had an excellent gas sensing response to ethanol, and the material prepared under 8 h hydrothermal conditions had the best gas sensing property. At the optimum working temperature of 270 °C, the highest response value could reach 66, with a response time of 12.4 s and recovery time of 10.4 s, respectively. In addition, the prepared In2O3 gas sensor had a wide detection range for ethanol concentration, and still had obvious response for 500 ppb ethanol. Furthermore, the gas sensing mechanism of In2O3 micro-flowers was also studied in detail.

Published: June 2020

The present increase of attention toward blockchain-based systems is currently reaching a tipping point with the corporate focus shifting from exploring the technology potential to creating Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)-based systems. In light of a significant number of already existing blockchain applications driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) evolution, the developers are still facing a lack of tools and instruments for appropriate and efficient performance evaluation and behavior observation of different blockchain architectures. This paper aims at providing a systematic review of current blockchain evaluation approaches and at identifying the corresponding utilization challenges and limitations. First, we outline the main metrics related to the blockchain evaluation. Second, we propose the blockchain modeling and analysis classification based on the critical literature review. Third, we extend the review with publicly accessible industrial tools. Next, we analyze the selected results for each of the proposed classes and outline the corresponding limitations. Finally, we identify current challenges of the blockchain analysis from the system evaluation perspective, as well as provide future perspectives.

Published: June 2020

In recent years, several studies have focused on environmental pollutants. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one prominent industrial raw material, and its extensive utilization and release into the environment constitute an environmental hazard. BPA is considered as to be an endocrine disruptor which mimics hormones, and has a direct relationship to the development and growth of animal and human reproductive systems. Moreover, intensive exposure to the compound is related to prostate and breast cancer, infertility, obesity, and diabetes. Hence, accurate and reliable determination techniques are crucial for preventing human exposure to BPA. Experts in the field have published general electrochemical procedures for detecting BPA. The present timely review critically evaluates diverse chemically modified electrodes using various substances that have been reported in numerous studies in the recent decade for use in electrochemical sensors and biosensors to detect BPA. Additionally, the essential contributions of these substances for the design of electrochemical sensors are presented. It has been predicted that chemically modified electrode-based sensing systems will be possible options for the monitoring of detrimental pollutants.
Multi-Field Interference Simultaneously Imaging on Single Image for Dynamic Surface Measurement
Authors: Han Weiqiang , Gao Xiaodong , Chen Zhen , Bai Le , Liu Bo , Zhao Rujin
Published: June 2020

To obtain the dynamic surface of high-frequency vibrating mirrors (VMs), a novel method involving multi-field interference (MFI) pattern imaging on a single image is proposed in this paper. Using multiple reflections and refractions, the proposed method generates three interference patterns at the same time, which improves the traditional time-series methods where a single interference pattern can be obtained at one time. Experimental results show that a series of MFI patterns can be obtained on a single image, with the laser repetition frequency (LRF) ranging from 200 Hz to 10 Hz, and the frame rate of the camera at 10 Hz. Particularly if the LRF (10 Hz) is equal to the frame rate of image, crosstalk is avoided completely, which is particularly desirable in dynamic surface measurement. In summary, the MFI imaging method provides an effective way for VM dynamic surface measurement.
Assessment of the Number of Valid Observations and Diurnal Changes in Chl-a for GOCI: Highlights for Geostationary Ocean Color Missions
Authors: Zhao Dan , Feng Lian
Published: June 2020

The first geostationary ocean color satellite mission (geostationary ocean color imager, or GOCI) has provided eight hourly observations per day over the western Pacific region since June 2010. GOCI imagery has been widely used to track the short-term dynamics of coastal and inland waters. Few studies have been performed to comprehensively assess the advantages of GOCI images in obtaining valid observations and estimating diurnal changes within the water column. Using the entire mission dataset between 2011 and 2017, these knowledge gaps were filled by comparing the daily percentages of valid observations (DPVOs) between GOCI and MODIS Aqua (MODISA) and by examining the diurnal changes in Chl-a over the East China Sea. The mean DPVOs of GOCI was 152.6% over the clear open ocean, suggesting that a daily valid coverage could be expected with GOCI. The GOCI DPVOs were ~26 times greater than the MODISA DPVOs; this pronounced difference was caused by the combined effects of their different observational frequencies and the more conservative quality flag system for MODISA. Diurnal changes in the GOCI-derived Chl-a were also found, with generally higher Chl-a in the afternoon than the morning and pronounced heterogeneities in the temporal and spatial domains. However, whether such diurnal changes are due to the real dynamics of the oceanic waters or artifacts of the satellite retrievals remains to be determined. This study provides the first comprehensive quantification of the unparalleled advantages of geostationary ocean color missions over polar orbiters, and the results highlights the importance of geostationary ocean color missions in studying coastal and inland waters.
Portable XRF Quick-Scan Mapping for Potential Toxic Elements Pollutants in Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems: A Methodological Approach
Authors: Venvik Guri , Boogaard Floris C.
Published: June 2020

Sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) such as swales are designed to collect, store and infiltrate a large amount of surface runoff water during heavy rainfall. Stormwater is known to transport pollutants, such as particle-bound Potential Toxic Elements (PTE), which are known to often accumulate in the topsoil. A portable XRF instrument (pXRF) is used to provide in situ spatial characterization of soil pollutants, specifically lead (Pb), zink (Zn) and copper (Cu). The method uses pXRF measurements of PTE along profiles with set intervals (1 meter) to cover the swale with cross-sections, across the inlet, the deepest point and the outlet. Soil samples are collected, and the In-Situ measurements are verified by the results from laboratory analyses. Stormwater is here shown to be the transporting media for the pollutants, so it is of importance to investigate areas most prone to flooding and infiltration. This quick scan method is time and cost-efficient, easy to execute and the results are comparable to any known (inter)national threshold criteria for polluted soils. The results are of great importance for all stakeholders in cities that are involved in climate adaptation and implementing green infrastructure in urban areas. However, too little is still known about the long-term functioning of the soil-based SuDS facilities.
Images of Roman Imperial Denarii: A Curated Data Set for the Evaluation of Computer Vision Algorithms Applied to Ancient Numismatics, and an Overview of Challenges in the Field
Authors: Arandjelović Ognjen , Zachariou Marios
Published: June 2020

Automatic ancient Roman coin analysis only recently emerged as a topic of computer science research. Nevertheless, owing to its ever-increasing popularity, the field is already reaching a certain degree of maturity, as witnessed by a substantial publication output in the last decade. At the same time, it is becoming evident that research progress is being limited by a somewhat veering direction of effort and the lack of a coherent framework which facilitates the acquisition and dissemination of robust, repeatable, and rigorous evidence. Thus, in the present article, we seek to address several associated challenges. To start with, (i) we provide a first overview and discussion of different challenges in the field, some of which have been scarcely investigated to date, and others which have hitherto been unrecognized and unaddressed. Secondly, (ii) we introduce the first data set, carefully curated and collected for the purpose of facilitating methodological evaluation of algorithms and, specifically, the effects of coin preservation grades on the performance of automatic methods. Indeed, until now, only one published work at all recognized the need for this kind of analysis, which, to any numismatist, would be a trivially obvious fact. We also discuss a wide range of considerations which had to be taken into account in collecting this corpus, explain our decisions, and describe its content in detail. Briefly, the data set comprises 100 different coin issues, all with multiple examples in Fine, Very Fine, and Extremely Fine conditions, giving a total of over 650 different specimens. These correspond to 44 issuing authorities and span the time period of approximately 300 years (from 27 BC until 244 AD). In summary, the present article should be an invaluable resource to researchers in the field, and we encourage the community to adopt the collected corpus, freely available for research purposes, as a standard evaluation benchmark.
Study and Analysis of a Multi-Mode Power Split Hybrid Transmission
Authors: Chen Xiaojiang , Jiang Jiajia , Zheng Lipeng , Tang Haifeng , Chen Xiaofeng
Published: June 2020

A two-motor power-split dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT) with two planetary gears is proposed for the applications of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and plug-in HEV (PHEV). The proposed DHT can provide electronically controlled continuous variable transmission (eCVT) with two different gear ratios. One of two electric motors is employed to act as a speeder for splitting the input power of internal combustion engine (ICE) and the other acts as a torquer to assist ICE for boosting. Assisted by an electric motor, ICE can always be enhanced to operate at its efficient area for the benefits of fuel economy improvement. The maximum ICE torque is viable to be mechanically transmitted to vehicle wheels from standstill with two different gear ratios. This feature can help reduce the traction motor torque and power sizing significantly. The paper presents detailed theoretical analyses of the proposed eCVT. Comprehensive simulation demonstrations for a pickup truck HEV application are given to address that the vehicle fuel consumption can be considerably reduced without compromising acceleration performance.

Arap Edebiyatında Suʿlûk Şairlerin Şiir Temaları
Authors: DOĞAN Adem
Published: June 2020

Arap yarımadasında Câhiliye döneminden Birinci Abbasî dönemine kadar toplumdaki siyâsî, sosyal ve ekonomik durumların yarattığı problemler sonucunda suʿlûk (fakir, eşkıya) şairler türemiştir. Bu suʿlûk şairlerden bazıları ortak mülkiyeti ve sosyal adaleti savunmuşlar ve elde ettiklerini fakirlerle paylaşmışlardır. Diğer bir kısmı ise daha çok kendi menfaatleri doğrultusunda hareket etmişlerdir. Çölü mesken tutan bu suʿlûk şairler düşüncelerini gerçekleştirmek için zenginlere ve ticaret kervanlarına baskın düzenlemişlerdir. Sadru’l-İslâm döneminde İslâmiyet’in gelişiyle birlikte toplumda gerçekleştirilen iyileştirmeler sonucunda suʿlûk şairlerin ortaya çıkmasında önemli ölçüde bir yavaşlama olmuşsa da Emevîler ve Abbasîler döneminde tekrar yükselişe geçmiştir. Suʿluk şairlerin ortaya çıkışında etkili olan siyâsî, sosyal ve ekonomik durumlar her dönemde birbirinden bazı farklılıklar arz etse de onların şiirlerinde işlenen temaların çoğunun ortak olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Cahiliye döneminden Abbasîler dönemine kadar suʿlûk şairlerin şiirleri mercek altına alınarak ana temaları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Toplamda on üç ana tema belirlenmiştir. İlk önce temalar ile ilgili genel bilgiler verilmiştir. Daha sonra Câhiliye, Sadru'l-İslâm, Emevîler ve Abbasîler döneminden temaya uygun örnek şiirler bulunup işlenmiştir.
Metinlerarasılık Bağlamında Modern Arap Şiirinde Meryem Figürü
Authors: USTA İbrahim
Published: June 2020

Bu çalışmada modern Arap şiiri figürlerinden birisi olan Hz. Meryem, metinlerarasılık ve sembolizm bağlamında değerlendirilecektir. 1960’lı yılların sonunda Julia Kristeva, Mihail Bakhtine ve Roland Barthes gibi yapısalcı araştırmacıların ortaya attığı metinlerarasılık kuramı özetle “iki ya da daha çok metin arasında bir alışveriş, bir tür konuşma ya da söyleşme biçimi” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Avrupa’da yeni çıkan bu kuram Arap şiirinde aslında Cahiliye döneminden günümüze kadar alıntı kültürü olarak devam eden bir olgudur. Modern dünya şiirinde önemli bir yer tutan sembolizm ise; duygu ve düşüncelerin anlatımında kapalılığın rol oynadığı, şiirde kafiye ve ölçünün ikinci plana atılarak iç armoninin önemsendiği modern bir edebi akımdır. Değişen zaman ve olgular sembolik figürlerde yer yer değişiklik gösterse de, kült dediğimiz bazı imgeler asla değişmez ve değişmeyecektir. Bunlardan birisi de Meryem figürüdür. Bu bağlamda şairlerin metinlerarasılık ve sembolizm ekseninde Hz. Meryem’e atfettikleri yeni anlamlar ele alınacaktır.
Spatial Wavefunction Characterization of Femtosecond Pulses at Single-Photon Level
Authors: Lam Billy , ElKabbash Mohamed , Zhang Jihua , Guo Chunlei
Published: June 2020

Reading quantum information of single photons is commonly realized by quantum tomography or the direct (weak) measurement approach. However, these methods are time-consuming and face enormous challenges in characterizing single photons from an ultrafast light source due to the stringent temporal mode matching requirements. Here, we retrieve the spatial wavefunction of indistinguishable single photons from both a continuous wave source and a femtosecond light source using a self-referencing interferometer. Our method only requires nine ensemble-averaged measurements. This technique simplifies the measurement procedure of single-photon wavefunction and automatically mode matches each self-interfering single photon temporally, which enables the measurement of the spatial wavefunction of single photons from an ultrafast light source.

Monoelemental two-dimensional (2D) materials (Xenes) aroused a tremendous attention in 2D science owing to their unique properties and extensive applications. Borophene, one emerging and typical Xene, has been regarded as a promising agent for energy, sensor, and biomedical applications. However, the production of borophene is still a challenge because bulk boron has rather intricate spatial structures and multiple chemical properties. In this review, we describe its excellent properties including the optical, electronic, metallic, semiconducting, photoacoustic, and photothermal properties. The fabrication methods of borophene are also presented including the bottom-up fabrication and the top-down fabrication. In the end, the challenges of borophene in the latest applications are presented and perspectives are discussed.

Authors: Ghaffari Azra , Feizollahe Vahid Ayda
Published: June 2020

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of sexual skills training and communication skills training on the sexual attitudes of married women. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all married women aged 18 to 45 years old in Tabriz in 2014. Methods: The quasi-experimental research design consisted of three groups (pre-test and post-test) using a comparative method. Individuals were randomly placed into three groups with 15 individuals each: a sexual skills training group, a communication skills training group and a control group. All individuals were tested before starting the training sessions. The two experimental groups received educational interventions consisting of eight sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, while the control group did not receive any training. Following the training sessions, all groups completed a post-test. The Sexual Knowledge and Attitudes Scale (SKAS) was used to collect the data; covariance analysis (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the results. Results: Based on the analysis, the results of a consequential least significant difference (LSD) test indicated a significant difference between the communication skills training method and the sexual skills training method in their roles in affecting women’s sexual attitudes positively. The P value for the communication skills group was 0.014 and 0.914 for the sexual skills group, indicating the communication skills training method was more effective. Differences are considered statistically significant at P>0.05. Conclusions: Communication skills training can have a positive impact on sexual attitudes and may be a preferred training option to reduce couples’ sexual problems.

Published: June 2020

Background
: Community-based dental education helps nurture a generation of dentists who pay more attention to community needs. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the viewpoints of dental students about a community-based dentistry course conducted at the Dental School of the Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in Sanandaj. Methods: In all, 36 senior dentistry students provided children aged 6 to 14 from an underprivileged background with care and preventive services under the indirect supervision of a dental instructor. At the end of the course in May 2018, individual and group interviews were conducted to obtain students’ viewpoints on the course. The collected data was categorized and analyzed using MAXQDA 10. Testing of acceptability, dependability, stability, verifiability, fittingness and transferability criteria were applied to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the qualitative data. Results: The results were categorized into two main themes: weaknesses and strengths of the clinical experience. Four main categories of the course’s strengths were identified: personal development, deeper understanding of oral health in the community, becoming familiar with executive and managerial systems, and payment and financial issues. Three main categories of the course’s weaknesses were identified: executive problems, issues around coordination and planning, and limiting coverage of the dental services provided to Levels I and II. Conclusion: The most important aspects of these courses from the students’ viewpoints were providing the opportunity to individual and professional development and gaining a broader perspective on preventive dentistry.

Salur Qazan, who has a special place in our epic tradition, is the hero who has surrounded all the narratives of the Günbäd manuscript, which was unearthed in 2019 and introduced to the world of science. On the pages 38-39 of the manuscript, Qazan’s heroism about the “holding the rolling stone” was explained in the soylama, which he expressed in his heroism. This narrative is a heroism of Qazan, which has been described as “epic stereotype” in Shejere-i Terākime, Topkapi Oγuz-name and the Dresden manuscript of Dede Qorqut Book. It is also seen that this narrative has a reflection among the Altay Turks. The analysis of this narrative, which is full of uncertainties both in terms of the location of the event, the nature of the event and the parties of the event, is an important contribution to the uncovering the ground on which epics are fed. In this analysis, it is aimed to compare the text with parallel narratives and to reveal the similarities and differences between the texts and to reveal the scope of the text's expression.

Simulasi Performa Turbin Propeller Dengan Sudut Pitch Yang Divariasikan
Authors: Pribadyo Pribadyo , H Hadiyanto , J Jamari
Published: June 2020

Propeller turbine performance can be improved by changing the turbine design parameters. One method that was developed is to vary the blade angle on the runner's blades. Analysis of the influence of blade angle on propeller turbine performance is done through numerical simulations based on computational fluid dynamics. The simulation is done with variations of propeller turbine blade angles of 180, 230, and 280 at flow rates of 0.08 m/s to 0.5 m/s. Simulation results show turbines with 250 blade angles have the best performance compared to turbine blade angles of 230 and 280. While the turbine blade angles of 230 tend to have higher performance compared to angles of 280 even though both have peak values for the corresponding power coefficient. Keywords—Propeller turbine, runner blade, pitch angle, CFD simulation
The Effects of Anchor Configurations and Field Characteristics on Anchored Diaphragm Walls
Authors: JAMES Anu , KURIAN Babu
Published: June 2020

Diaphragm walls are the ideal solution for productive utilisation of underground space to meet modern-day demands of infrastructural developments. Selection of appropriate wall and support configurations has substantial impact on economy, time and performance of diaphragm wall projects. Unsatisfactory implementation of such retaining systems during or after construction may cause heavy causalities such as loss of life and damage to adjacent infrastructures. Practical significance of excavation induced deformations is large due to its potential damage to adjacent structures. Hence, reliable estimates of excavation related responses are vital for construction and implementation of embedded diaphragm walls. This paper presents results of parametric analysis performed on anchored diaphragm walls evaluating the effects of anchor configurations and field characteristics. Numerical studies are carried out to comprehend the influence of factors like ground conditions, excavation geometry and anchor characteristics. Walls embedded in cohesive and non-cohesive soils with varying ground water locations are considered for analysis. Anchor features including length, inclination and axial prestress are varied in combination with the above parameters. The effects of these factors and their combined influence on the deformation, flexural strength and axial capacity of diaphragm walls are determined and evaluated. Numerical analyses are carried out using finite element simulations with Plaxis 2d. Comparative charts are drawn to demonstrate the variations of wall responses with different combinations of influencing factors. Optimal configurations of diaphragm wall and anchor system for different ground conditions can be perceived from the result charts.

Published: June 2020

In this study, a distribution free new statistic is introduced to test the equality of locations against the umbrella alternative hypotheses. The Shan test known for the ordered alternatives hypotheses is arranged for the umbrella alternative hypotheses. This statistic can be considered as an extension of the sign and Mann-Whitney statistics. Using a comprehensive simulation design, the proposed test was compared with the Hettmansperger and Norton and, Mack-Wolfe tests according to the criteria of the power and type I error rate of the test. In the simulation outcomes, it was seen that the robustness condition for Bradley's type I error rate were ensured for all tests. The power comparison outcomes also showed that the proposed test is more powerful than the other tests.

Study mapping, a ruled surface in〖 R〗^3corresponds to each curve on DS^2. Through this correspondence, a unique ruled surface in R^3is corresponded to natural lift curve on TM ̅. Then striction curve, shape operator, mean curvature and Gaussian curvature of these ruled surfaces obtained by the natural lift curves are calculated. Developabilitiy condition of these ruled surfaces is given. Finally, we give an example to support the main results.
Entre o real e a ficção: a história da Inglaterra do século IX pela ótica do medievo e do contemporâneo
Authors: Soares Isabelle Maria , Silva Edson Santos
Published: June 2020

O presente artigo faz uma reflexão a respeito da presença da História nos documentos medievais The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle e The Life of King Alfred e na literatura contemporânea de Bernard Cornwell, especificamente, em seu romance histórico The Last Kingdom (2004). Esses textos abordam a história da Inglaterra no século IX do período denominado Era Viking em diferentes perspectivas. Ficção e história entram em confronto, a fim de representar momentos significativos da época relatada. O artigo objetiva, dessa forma, observar como o real histórico é apresentado nos textos de diferentes épocas, com o fim de compreender as relações de poder entre anglo-saxões e escandinavos pelas óticas do medievo e de sua recepção no mundo contemporâneo. São discutidos neste artigo o contexto de produção dos textos e a contextualização histórica da época representada, para então, promover uma breve leitura de trechos com base em teóricos que procuram conceituar o gênero literário ficção-histórica.
A toponímia indígena artificial no Brasil: uma classificação dos nomes de origem tupi criados nos séculos XIX e XX
Authors: Navarro Eduardo De Almeida
Published: June 2020

No território brasileiro encontram-se topônimos de origem indígena de mais de quinhentos anos de existência, atribuídos pelos próprios índios do passado, talvez até antes do Descobrimento do Brasil, ao lado de nomes indígenas artificiais que têm poucas décadas de existência. Tais nomes surgiram a partir da segunda metade do século XIX e sua criação tornou-se muito comum até os anos 50 do século XX. Esses topônimos artificiais são, muitas vezes, confundidos com os topônimos espontâneos de origem indígena, que são principalmente provenientes do tupi antigo e das línguas gerais dele originadas, ou seja, a língua geral meridional (ou paulista), a língua geral amazônica e o nheengatu.   As razões históricas para a ocorrência de tal fenômeno foram o fortalecimento dos nacionalismos políticos no século passado, com reflexos no Brasil, o advento do Modernismo, com profundos efeitos sobre a cultura ocidental em geral e sobre a cultura brasileira, em particular.Este artigo analisa tal toponímia artificial, sua adequação geográfica e linguística e busca explicar seu surgimento.

Memória e Espaço Manauenses na crônica Margens Secas da Cidade (2013), de Milton Hatoum
Authors: Sousa Rayron Lennon Costa , Freiras Risoleta Viana
Published: June 2020

A Amazônia Brasileira, região norte do país, especificamente, a cidade de Manaus, ambientou grande parte da produção literária de Milton Hatoum. Exemplo disso são as obras: Relato de um certo Oriente (1989), Dois Irmãos (2000), Cinzas do Norte (2005) e Um Solitário à espreita (2013), em que percebemos a cidade de Manaus como espaço construído e evocado inúmeras vezes pela tessitura memorialista do autor. Nesse sentido, objetivamos discutir a evolução do espaço citadino em Manaus a partir da relação entre as memórias construídas na infância e a revisitação dos mesmos espaços geradores na vida adulta, partindo de uma análise contrastivo-explicativa do tempo cronológico, inferindo ainda sobre o lugar da memória no processo de reconstrução da cidade. Para tanto, este artigo tem como corpus de análise a crônica Margens Secas da Cidade (2013), integrante da coletânea Um Solitário à espreita. As discussões teóricas partiram de Assmann (2008; 2011), Halbwachs (2006), Bachelard (1993) e Tuan (2012), dentre outros, nos quais ancoramos as reflexões a respeito da memória e do espaço. Intenta-se que as discussões contemplem um olhar sobre a evolução do espaço citadino manauense, entendido pelo narrador como movimento de declínio, através da relação entre o passado e o presente, a partir do retorno aos espaços de felicidade para entender os efeitos da modernidade sobre o homem e sobre a cidade. Palavras-chave: Espaço; Memória; Manaus; Milton Hatoum.
Construção da memória coletiva pela literatura: mulheres na América
Authors: Uber Beatrice , Del Pozo González Leila Shaí , Rohde Marina Luisa
Published: June 2020

Perante a historiografia oficial, os grandes acontecimentos em relação aos descobrimentos de novas terras e os movimentos migratórios eram apresentados pelas figuras masculinas. Assim sendo, a história tradicional não considerava, por exemplo, o ponto de vista feminino. Dessa forma, houve um apagamento da presença, da atuação e dos sentimentos da mulher em relação aos fatos ao seu redor. Todavia, a literatura surge com o intuito de propor novas abordagens desse passado, apresentar um discurso subjetivo e descentralizado ao mesmo tempo, bem como preencher as lacunas deixadas por testemunhos centrais e oficiais. É por meio do discurso memorialístico que muitas personagens femininas obtêm a oportunidade de que sejam expostos seus prismas e que seja ofertada à historiografia oficial alternativas criativas e inovadoras para muitos de seus acontecimentos. As narrativas híbridas de história e ficção podem ser apresentadas pelas versões acríticas, críticas desconstrutivas e mediadoras. Assim, as diegeses romanescas podem ofertar ao seu leitor inúmeras versões de um mesmo evento e buscar enaltercer ou contestar determinados acontecimentos pela arte literária. Nesse sentido, tencionamos usar romances históricos que apresentam discursos memorialísticos para dar foco às nossas análises. Consequentemente, nessa linha de estudo, esse artigo conta com o suporte teórico de Halbwachs ([1968] 2003), Bernd (2013), Candau (2016) e Fleck (2017).

The rapid development of leasing activities in foreign countries is due to the fact that it is an advanced method of logistical support of business activity. Due to its advantages, leasing gives wide access to advanced technologies and technologies to business entities. Influencing the macroeconomic dynamics in the country, it activates the process of investment and renewal of fixed assets, creates new jobs, promotes the development of the national economy.

The purpose is to study the trends of leasing development in the world and to offer the basic directions of introduction of foreign experience in domestic practice.

Methods. The historical, analytical, empirical, inductive-deductive, comparative research methods to implement the principle of objectivity of scientific presentation have been used.

Results. The article examines foreign experience and legal support for the development of leasing services. Revealed, globalization, specialization, consolidation, the formation of strategic alliances are the modern tendencies of dynamic development of the world market of leasing services.

Conclusions. Suggestions have been made on the need to introduce the foreign experience of leasing development in Ukraine through the improvement of the legislative base, its harmonization with international norms, the creation of infrastructure of the leasing services market, the development of the guarantees system and insurance. Leasing items, that increase banks’ interest through the system of long-term loans, are substantiated.

Computer vision algorithms, especially real-time tasks, require intensive computation and reduced time. That’s why many algorithms are developed for interest point detection and description. For instance, SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature) is extensively adopted in tracking or detecting forms and objects. SURF algorithm remains complex and massive in term of computation. So, it’s a challenge for real time usage on CPU. In this paper we propose a fast SURF parallel computation algorithm designed for Graphics-Processing-Unit (GPU). We describe different states of the algorithm in detail, using several optimizations. Our method can improve significantly the original application by reducing the computation time. Thus, it presents a good performance for real-time processing.
