Neurolinguística discursiva: contribuições para uma fonoaudiologia na área da linguagem
Authors: Bordin Sonia Maria Sellin , Freire Fernanda Maria Pereira
Published: August 2018

Neste ensaio procuramos apresentar e discutir as diferenças fundantes entre uma Fonoaudiologia de caráter biomédico, por um lado, e uma Fonoaudiologia orientada discursivamente, por outro, enfatizando as contribuições dos princípios teórico-metodológicos e éticos da Neurolinguística Discursiva (ND) no trabalho com a linguagem. Para tanto, apresentamos como o campo da Fonoaudiologia tem tradicionalmente delineado e reconhecido questões de linguagem, em geral filiando-se à área médica e, em seguida, argumentarmos em favor do compromisso da área com a prática reflexiva de linguagem, o que vai impactar tanto sua avaliação quanto o acompanhamento terapêutico.
Contribuicões da neurolinguística discursiva para a compreensão do sujeito e da linguagem na síndrome do x-frágil
Authors: Silva Michelli Alessandra
Published: August 2018

Partindo da crítica de Coudry ([1986] 1988) sobre testes-padrão apresento uma reflexão sobre o discurso científico veiculado em diferentes publicações (artigos científicos, textos em sites de associações e entidades relacionadas à patologia, bem como em textos publicados em sites de eventos e conferências) sobre a Síndrome do X-Frágil com o intuito de analisar como essa patologia é descrita pela área médica, especialmente em relação ao desenvolvimento da linguagem, bem como quais efeitos de poder/saber (FOUCAULT, 2001) são produzidos por esse discurso e suas implicações. Para me contrapor ao discurso determinístico da área médica, apresento dados do processo de aquisição e uso da fala, leitura e escrita de um sujeito portador da síndrome acompanhado longitudinalmente destacando – com base nos pressupostos da Neurolinguística Discursiva – seu trabalho linguístico-cognitivo e as marcas de sua subjetividade na linguagem. A discussão dos dados procura, ainda, identificar em suas dificuldades linguísticas aquilo que pode ser patológico, o que faz parte do processo normal de aquisição e uso da fala/leitura/escrita e o que pode estar relacionado a outros fatores, que podem ser de ordem social ou relativos a história de vida do sujeito.

ABSTRACTBackground: The knowledge of nurses in identifying HAIs is required to facilitate surveillance, in addition to applications that facilitate surveillance data collection, one of them is epi info. Haji Hospital has conducted training to increase nurses' knowledge regarding HAIs surveillance. Purpose: This study aims to describe the knowledge of HAIs surveillance officers. Methods: The type research was descriptive observational with cross sectional research design. The research location was in Surabaya Haji Hospital between January-February 2018. The population in the study were all nurses who attended surveillance data collection training. Respondents in this study used total sampling as many as 40 nurses who were representatives of each treatment room. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results: Most nurses have increased knowledge in identifying HAIs, capable to enter data, convert data entries into tables, and change tables into pivot tables in Microsoft Excel after training, and most treatment rooms have applied epi info for data recording HAIs. Conclusion: The implementation of the training was quite effective indicated from the results of the nurse's achievement. This training is expected to be maintained and required a regular monitor the use of epi info, so the training result can sustain and nurses can implement knowledge about HAIs to support the running of HAIs surveillance. Keywords: epi info; HAIs; knowledge; surveillance officers
Category building of international students as language learners in two secondary schools
Authors: Filipi Anna
Published: August 2018

This paper reports on a small scale study of category building in the context of English language learning. The data for the current study is derived from the interviews with two students, one from China and the other from Mongolia, in two schools in Melbourne. The study uses Membership Categorization Analysis to give an account of identity by examining how categories of English language learner emerge and shift during the course of the interviews. The categories established by the participants in the two interviews were constructed around different attributes belonging to the category of international student. These emerged as a series of categorical binaries including international student and local student, language competence and language deficit, mainstream English and English as an Additional Language (EAL), and home country and Australia. As the participants took part in the interview, they moved towards accounts that integrated multiple viewpoints resulting in dynamically shifting categorisations. Through these categories, it was also possible to show how students were invited to display their learning and knowledge of English, and to give accounts of their English language development.

The non-photolytic method for generation of arylnitroso oxides based on the reduction of
nitrosobenzene by triphenylphosphine was used to study the products of the reaction of transphenylnitroso
oxide with trans-stilbene. N,α-Diphenylnitrone and benzaldehyde were found to be the
main stable products of the reaction, the first stage of which was [3+2]-cycloaddition to form the metastable
1,2,3-dioxazolidine intermediate. The obtained products were in agreement with our previous
theoretical predictions.
Longitudinal Assessment of Critical Thinking Skills Across a Dental Curriculum
Authors: Everett Allison C. , Anderson Olivia S. , Wright Mary C. , Fontana Margherita
Published: August 2018

Critical thinking and problem‐solving are two of the most frequently desired goals for dental student learning, but greater understanding is needed of how students’ critical thinking skills develop from the beginning to the end of the curriculum. The aim of this study was to use students’ performance on critical thinking assessments at five time points from the first to the fourth years to longitudinally assess their critical thinking development across the curriculum. In 2014–16, the performance of students in two successive graduating classes at one U.S. dental school was collected from five assignments designed to, among other things, assess critical thinking. Those assignments ranged from a case study in the Cariology I course in fall of the first year to an OSCE completed before graduation. Students were divided into four quartiles from lowest‐ to highest‐achieving based on the first (baseline) assessment, and those quartiles were tracked to determine each student's progress over the four years. The results showed that, for both cohorts, students who ranked in the top quartile remained in the top of the class for all subsequent assessments. Also in both cohorts, the students who had the lowest scores on the initial assessment of critical thinking skills showed statistically significant improvements over time, increasing their scores by 9.4% (cohort 1, p<0.001) and 4.6% (cohort 2, p=0.003) in each consecutive assessment. These results suggest that implementing critical thinking assessments early in the curriculum can assist in predicting students’ future performance on critical thinking assessments. Furthermore, a dental curriculum intentionally designed to promote critical thinking capacities can help students improve these skills over time, whatever their level at the beginning.
Ecosocioeconomías: un concepto en construcción
Authors: Sampaio Carlos Alberto Cioce , Henríquez Zuñiga Christian , Fuders Felix
Published: August 2018

Reforzar y profundizar los estudios en ecosocioeconomías es el objetivo principal del texto. Para ello se retoman trabajos y postulados propuestos por Sampaio (2010) y se refuerzan argumentos primero desde la dimensión ecológica y su relación con la socioeconomía, en un segundo momento se argumenta desde la economía y su relación con la socioecológia y en un tercer momento se relaciona la dimensión social con las interacciones con la economía y el ambiente. El estudio se basa en investigaciones bibliográficas, análisis en base a experiencias brasileñas y extranjeras que vienen siendo investigadas por un equipo interdisciplinar. Se propone que la ecosocioeconomía está mucho más cerca del buen vivir. Lo que se puede extraer del esfuerzo realizado en este texto es que las Ecosocioeconomías ocurren en parte por el escenario ecosocioeconómico contemporáneo desolador que enfrentamos como humanidad.

Model Pendidikan Kepramukaan Indonesia dalam Perspektif Filsafat Pendidikan Paulo Freire
Authors: Junaedi Rusli Akhmad
Published: August 2018

This research examines the model of Indonesia scouting education by employing Paulo Freire’s perspective on philosophy of education. As an object of analysis, the research discusses the debated on the Regulation of Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 63 of 2014 concerning Scouting Education as a Mandatory Extracurricular in Primary and Secondary Education. The result of this study shows that scouting education in Indonesia is a progressive self-learning process for the youth to fully develop themselves. Paulo Freire’s philosophy of education is a concept of education for liberation. It lays in the premise that the ultimate goal of human existence is the process of humanization. The paper argues that, in general, the character of Indonesian scouting education model is dialogical education which involves intersubjectivity process of education. It becomes de-humanizing education practice when the regulation of scouting education as a mandatory extracurricular activity is enacted. The mandatory regulation forces students’ participation in the scouting education, whereby damaging the volunteerism and freedom dimension of education activities. By doing so, the mandatory regulation distorts the problem-posing education strategy already existing in the Indonesian scouting practices.

Background: In developing countries is estimated at about 120 million babies born asphyxiated at birth. Among these who can survive 20% to 30% had mental disorder, cerebral palsy or developmental abnormality due to the small size of head circumference (microcephaly).Objective: To determine the effect of asphyxia on the head circumference size of children age 6 months - 2 years.Method: A matched case-control study design was conducted from May – June 2014. The population of the study was all children age 6 months - 2 years who visited the Growth development clinic of General Hospital of West Nusa Tenggara Province. The cases were children who have microcephaly and the controls were children with normocephaly. From sample size which was calculated by hypothesis testing two populations proportions are obtained a sample of 72 respondents with 36 cases and 36 controls. Bivariate analysis used chi-square (χ2) McNemar and multivariable analysis with logistic regression (conditional logistic regression) with a significance level of p <0.05 and 95% confidence intervals.Result and Discussion: Microcephaly was present in 83 % of the children with asphyxia, compared with 36 % of the controls. The children with asphyxia tent to have microcephaly compared to children without asphyxia (OR = 5,00; 95% CI: 1,36-18,32). Results of multivariable analysis showed that there was a statistically significant effect between asphyxia with head circumference size by controlling the low birth weight variable (OR = 5,00; 95% CI: 1,36-18,32).Conclusion: History of asphyxia increases the risk of microcephaly compared with non-asphyxia in children aged 6 months - 2 years.Keywords: asphyxia, head circumference, children aged 6 months-2 years

Published: August 2018

Ringkasan Perakitan tanaman perkebunan toleran terhadap serangan cendawan patogenik  dilakukan dengan mengoverekspresikan gen penyandi kitinase. Untuk itu elemen DNA peningkat ekspresi (enhancer E52) yang berupa oligonukleotida 52 pb dan kaya kandungan basa purin (GC) disisipkan di ujung 5’ konstruk 35S-chi. Penyisipan E52 tersebut dilakukan secara lebih terarah pada situs ganda HindIII-SalI dari MCS pCAMBIA2301. Melalui situs HindIII yang terletak tepat di ujung 3’ E52, konstruk 35S-chi kemudian disambungkan dengan E52 pada pCAMBIA tersebut. Transformasi DNA rekombinan ke dalam sel tembakau dikerjakan melalui perantaraan Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. Sel tanaman transgenik     diseleksi    dan  diregenrasi dalam media  yang    mengandung  3%  sukrosa, 0,5 mg/L diregenerasikan pada media   MS   padat  benzilaminopurin   (BAP)  dan  50 mg/L kanamisin. Pada media ini tunas transgenik    tembakau   mulai   terbentuk    setelah 5 minggu penanaman. Analisis  tingkat aktivitas enzimatis menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas kitinase pada tembakau transgenik 40 hingga 80 kali lebih tinggi daripada non-transgenik. Pengujian hibridisasi protein menggunakan antibodi anti-kitinase, dot blot dan western blot, membuktikan bahwa enhancer tersebut dapat meningkatkan ekspresi transgen chi pada tanaman tembakau.Summary Development of estate crops tolerant to pathogenic fungi is conducted by overexpressing chi gene. For this purpose, a synthetic enhancer consisting of 52 base pairs and GC-rich was inserted at immediate 5’ end of a 35S-chi cassette. Insertion of the E52 was directed at HindIII-SalI restriction sites of  the pCAMBIA2301 MCS.  With HindIII restriction site located just after the 3’ end of the E52 sequence, the 35S-chi construct was then ligated with the E52 of the pCAMBIA. Transformation of the resulting recombinant DNA into tobacco cells was mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. The transgenic cells were selected and regenerated on a solid MS medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.5 mg/L benzylamino purine (BAP) and 50 mg/L kanamycin. Tobacco   shoots   were   initiated  after 5 weeks inoculation on the selection media. Enzymatic analysis demonstrated that chitinase activity of transgenic tobacco was 40 to 80 folds higher than that of the control plant. Analysis of  enzymatic activity using hybridization with anti-chitinase antibody indicated that the level of chitinase activity in the transgenic tobacco carrying the enhancer is higher than that  without enhancer. These data suggest that the enhancer improved the expression of chi transgene in tobacco.

Authors: Sar Alicia , Martin Juan Pablo , Fernandez Raúl , Caminos Carlos
Published: August 2018

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo brindar información sobre el ciclo reproductivo y reclutamiento del mejillón Mytilus edulis platensis, una especie de importancia comercial, en bancos naturales intermareales de una localidad de la Provincia de Santa Cruz. Para ello, entre el 2013 y 2015 se realizaron muestreos biológicos y censos poblacionales estacionales y mensuales de la especie en un banco natural sobre sustrato fangoso y en otro asentado sobre sustrato rocoso en el interior de la Bahía San Julián. En el laboratorio, se determinó el largo total de los individuos, parte de los cuales fue luego procesado mediante técnicas histológicas convencionales para conocer el grado de madurez y desarrollo gonadal. Se realizaron también muestreos mensuales de zooplancton con el fin de detectar la época de mayor concentración de larvas de mejillón en el agua. Como resultado, se observó un alto grado de sincronismo en los estadios de madurez gonadal entre los individuos de Mytilus edulis platensis en la Bahía San Julián; la evacuación de gametas se produjo desde fines de primavera hasta fines de verano; las larvas presentaron su mayor abundancia en el plancton durante el mes de febrero, cuando la temperatura del agua alcanzó su valor máximo; los juveniles se incorporaron a la población principalmente durante el verano y el otoño; la abundancia de juveniles fue generalmente irregular a lo largo del tiempo y poco predecible en los bancos de Bahía San Julián.

La pregunta por la construcción y el ensamblaje de identidades nacionales en América Latina parece haber tomado un nuevo aire en la historiografía. Ya sea desde enfoques políticos o acercamientos en clave cultural, la nación sigue presentándose como esa vasta constelación de actores, experiencias y sentidos que acaparan la curiosidad de investigaciones en curso y por supuesto, de trabajos ya culminados como el que aquí se reseña. Esta compilación editada por el profesor Sven Schuster y publicada en septiembre de 2014 por la Universidad del Rosario, aparece así con una consigna novedosa advertida desde el título: identificar la función práctica de las imágenes en distintos proyectos latinoamericanos de formación nacional. La obra consta de un breve prólogo a cargo del editor, seguido de once ensayos escritos por académicos de Europa, América Latina, Estados Unidos e Israel. Sorprende además de este ambicioso diálogo internacional, la variedad de disciplinas que han confluido en este texto para explorar las dimensiones visuales del nation-building, ofreciendo al lector una enriquecedora discusión entre campos como la historia, la literatura, la ciencia política y los estudios culturales. Igualmente, todas las contribuciones abarcan en su conjunto un amplio marco temporal que va desde las alegorías tempranas de la nación en el siglo XIX, hasta casos contemporáneos vistos a la luz de expresiones como la fotografía o el cine.

A influência da sucção não nutritiva como analgesia não farmacológica em recém-nascidos durante procedimentos dolorosos: revisão sistemática
Authors: Das Virgens Thayse Ribeiro , Greco Catiuscia Sales de Souza , De Carvalho Mariana Lucena
Published: August 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a influência da sucção não nutritiva como método de analgesia não farmacológica durante procedimentos dolorosos em neonatos, por meio de uma revisão sistemática descritiva atualizada. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir de estudos publicados no período de 2006 a 2016 e disponíveis em versão completa, de forma gratuita, nas bases de dados digitais PubMed, MedlLine e LILACS. Após aplicados os critérios de exclusão, os artigos foram selecionados e avaliados nos seguintes quesitos: tipo de estudo; número total de indivíduos ou estudos envolvidos; média de idade; procedimento considerado doloroso; tipo de sucção não nutritiva utilizada; tempo da sucção não nutritiva antes, durante e após o procedimento; método de avaliação da dor; e conclusão do estudo. Foram encontrados 806 artigos disponíveis em sua versão completa e analisados 14 estudos. Todos os estudos (100%) analisados constataram a eficácia da sucção não nutritiva como método não farmacológico de alívio da dor, seja quando utilizada de forma isolada, seja quando associada a outro método analgésico. A chupeta foi o tipo mais utilizado de sucção não nutritiva. Alguns estudos ainda ressaltam a redução da agitação e do tempo de duração do choro. Apenas um estudo apontou maior ocorrência de taquicardia, bradicardia e hipertensão em recém-nascidos prematuros extremos submetidos à sucção não nutritiva antes e durante o procedimento doloroso. Portanto, a sucção não nutritiva mostrou-se eficaz de forma isolada ou associada à sacarose, sendo esta combinação mais efetiva.

Popularização de técnicas de estudo eficientes por meio de ações em escolas, mídia e internet
Resumo: Pesquisas mostram que alunos e professores muitas vezes desconhecem as técnicas de estudo que melhor promovem a aprendizagem duradoura. Aqui descrevemos a popularização de duas técnicas de aprendizagem: prática de lembrar e prática de distribuir, que foram divulgadas através de palestras, artigos na mídia, redes sociais e conferências. Também mostramos que essas técnicas podem ser usadas no cotidiano por meio do celular (mobile-learning) com um aplicativo gratuito. Em 2015-2016, instituições de 6 cidades brasileiras foram visitadas pelos pesquisadores e as notícias do projeto foram divulgadas nas redes sociais. Mais de 1300 alunos assistiram às palestras pessoalmente. Foram rastreados 30 postagens em revistas impressas e sites de notícias que publicaram notícias sobre este projeto. Concluímos que as técnicas de estudo podem ser disseminadas em grande escala por estudantes e professores pela comunidade científica com a ajuda da mídia. Isso é especialmente relevante em países em desenvolvimento, onde as práticas educacionais ainda estão subfinanciadas.

Authors: Kolawole Olatunji M. , Ayodeji Ajibola O. , Ogah Jeremiah I.
Published: August 2018

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic virus classified as category A priority pathogen. Rift Valley fever (RVF) has been poorly investigated in Nigeria with the infection among Nigerians last reported in 1996. Two hundred (200) febrile subjects with symptoms of malaria attending local hospitals in Ilorin, Nigeria were investigated for malaria, malaria positive subjects were investigated for the presence of RVF. Malaria screening was done using Carestart
TM malaria HRP2(pf), while RVF antibodies were tested for using anti-RVF IgM ELISA. Molecular identification of the viral genome was carried out using RNA extraction (QIAGEN) and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Of the 200 subjects tested for malaria infection, 93 (46.5%) were positive, while 20 (21.5%) of the 93 subjects were seropositive for RVF. RVF virus genome was found in 5 (25%) of the 20 positive subjects. The high prevalence of RVF among malaria positive subjects show that there is a risk of a RVF outbreak if its prevalence remains unchecked.

Published: August 2018

Flocculants are chemicals that mediate flocculation process, by aggregating colloids from suspension to form floc. Chemical flocculants are hazardous to the environment, which inform the search for safer and eco-friendly alternatives from microorganisms. Bacterial strains were isolated from water and sediment samples collected from Sodwana Bay, South Africa, and physiological properties of the bacterial strains were observed. Flocculation test using kaolin clay suspension was done on all isolates and the ones that showed flocculating activity were identified molecularly using 16 rRNA gene sequence analysis. Forty marine bacteria isolates were gotten from sediments and water samples collected from Sodwana Bay. Most of the isolates exhibited a range of colony pigmentation (pink, creamy, yellow, and white). After purification of individual isolates, they were screened for their potential to produce bioflocculant. The result revealed that isolates marked SOD3, SOD10, SOD12, SOD26, SOD27, SOD28, SOD32, SOD33 and SOD34 produced bioflocculants as shown by the flocculating activities from their crude extract. All these isolates showed good flocculation of kaolin clay suspension above 60% (flocculating activity) except SOD12. These bioflocculant producing isolates were identified as Pseudoalteromonas sp, Alcaligenes faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus stratosphericus. The results showed Sodwana Bay, South Africa as a reservoir of bacteria with potential to produce flocculants. However, further studies on the optimisation of culture conditions for bioflocculant production, extraction, characterisation and application of isolates is on the way to underscore the biotechnological importance of these microbes as producers of substitutes to harmful chemical flocculants commonly used in water and wastewater treatment.

Published: August 2018

Several hundreds of thousand humans are diagnosed with brain cancer every year, and the majority dies within the next two years. The chances of survival could be easiest improved by early diagnosis. This is why there is a strong need for reliable algorithms that can detect the presence of gliomas in their early stage. While an automatic tumor detection algorithm can support a mass screening system, the precise segmentation of the tumor can assist medical staff at therapy planning and patient monitoring. This paper presents a random forest based procedure trained to segment gliomas in multispectral volumetric MRI records. Beside the four observed features, the proposed solution uses 100 further features extracted via morphological operations and Gabor wavelet filtering. A neighborhood-based post-processing was designed to regularize and improve the output of the classifier. The proposed algorithm was trained and tested separately with the 54 low-grade and 220 high-grade tumor volumes of the MICCAI BRATS 2016 training database. For both data sets, the achieved accuracy is characterized by an overall mean Dice score > 83%, sensitivity > 85%, and specificity > 98%. The proposed method is likely to detect all gliomas larger than 10 mL.

Published: August 2018

An investigation of silicon-based tandem solar cells incorporating Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and Cu2O metal oxides, via two of the most efficient methods of optical modeling, specifically ray tracing and transfer matrix algorithms, was performed. The simulations were conducted based on specialized software, namely Silvaco Atlas and MATLAB, as well as on OPAL2 simulation platform. The optical analysis involved the calculation of the spectral curves for reflectance, absorptance and transmittance for different thicknesses of the thin film layers constituting the cell. It was established the optimum thickness of the AZO layer based on the minimum reflectance and maximum transmittance. Moreover, several materials were investigated in order to determine the optimum buffer layer for the tandem solar cell, based on optical modeling. The optical parameters of the ZnO/Cu2O top subcell were optimized, in order to achieve the highest conversion efficiency of such heterojunction solar cell.
Impact of Aerosol on the Estimation Accuracy of Solar Radiation
Authors: Delia-Gabriela Calinoiu , Marius Paulescu
Published: August 2018

The paper is focused on the solar irradiance estimation in clear-sky conditions and an aerosol-loaded atmosphere. Two parametric models developed by our group and three empirical models are tested. The estimates of the parametric models are based on three atmospheric parameters (ozone, nitrogen dioxide and water vapor column content) and the aerosol properties quantified by means of several specific parameters (Ångström turbidity coefficient, single scattering albedo, asymmetry factor). The empirical models contain no inputs for aerosol properties. Data collected from 10 stations were used to test the models. The inputs for the parametric models were retrieved from Aerosol Robotic Network - AERONET. Global and diffuse solar irradiance data at high-quality standards were retrieved from the Baseline Surface Radiation Network BSRN. A comparative analysis of the models’ accuracy in estimating clear-sky solar irradiance is discussed from the perspective of aerosol proprieties.

The objectives of the study were to measure the efficiency in trade and transport through China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and to ascertain efficiency in trade and economic development through developed transport infrastructures. The present study was conducted in Peshawar, Pakistan. The data was collected from the relevant developing sectors and stakeholders through CPEC including investors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chamber of Commerce and Peshawar Railway Station track employees. Majority of bi-variate analysis through chi-square test result showed that there was a strong and significant association between the project of CPEC and efficiency in trade and transport in terms of economy. Similarly, a strong and significant association was found between the development of transport routes through CPEC and smooth transportation of goods and services. Furthermore, a strong and significant association was found between CPEC project and improvement in travelling potential. Similarly, a significant association was found between development in transport infrastructure and fastness and reliability in business travelling. In the same way, a significant association was found between CPEC and increase in the geographical size of the labour market. As in the chain, a strong and significant association was found between the development of transport infrastructures through CPEC and increase in labour force productivity along with an increase in the range of choice of individual and firms. This could come true that CPEC as a project would ensure smooth efficiency transportation of trade goods and services in terms of reducing time distance and cost. CPEC as a project should not be only limited to economic activities, rather it should contribute to the overall socio-economic development of the region.

Published: August 2018

The safety of railways has been and remains a critical topic. Whether it is infrastructure or rolling stock, the issue of safety is a permanent concern of the utmost importance, being reflected in the efficiency of any transport system.

This paper focuses on the safety in operation of pressure vessels that equip railway tanks. There are many articles and works on this subject, and it is well-known that there are both national and international regulations regarding their design, execution, operation and maintenance. Also, there are quite a few reports on the BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) phenomenon resulting in material damage and significant casualties. The BLEVE-type explosion is not considered a chemical explosion derived from a gas-air explosive environment (also present in non-flammable gases), but rather a mechanical explosion through over-pressurization.

Thus, we propose a comparative study between the results obtained using theoretical methods and those obtained as a result of tensoresistive measurements on such a tanker.
