Comparison of two encapsulation systems of UV stabilizers on the UV protection efficiency of wood clear coats
Authors: Queant Caroline , Blanchet Pierre , Landry Véronic , Schorr Diane
Published: September 2018

One of the major issues in the wood industry is the durability of clear coatings. The addition of organic ultraviolet absorbers (UVAs) improves coating resistance by the absorption and conversion of UV radiation into harmless heat. Organic UVAs are, however, easily degraded by free radicals produced by photodegradation inside the polymer matrix and are prone to migration in the coating. In this study, commercial UVAs and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) entrapped into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microspheres and CaCO3 templates coated with UV-responsive polymers were added into clear acrylic water-based coating formulation. Artificial accelerated weathering experiments were performed on each formulation. Raman spectroscopy mapping was performed to visualize the concentration and distribution of UVAs and HALS. This study also presents a comparison of the mechanical properties of coatings obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis. Results showed that coating mechanical properties were improved when using encapsulated UVAs and HALS inside PMMA microspheres. The color change of the wood and coating system was minimized and the production of photo-oxidation compounds in the binder was also limited.
Der lange Weg zum Präventionsgesetz – Entwicklung der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung in Deutschland
Authors: Walter Ulla
Published: September 2018

In den vergangenen vier Jahrzehnten erfuhr Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung in Deutschland eine deutliche Weiterentwicklung und Ausdifferenzierung. Die Ottawa Charta trug wesentlich zur gesetzlichen Verankerung 1989 als Aufgabe der Krankenkassen und zum Aufbau von Strukturen bei. Trotz zwischenzeitlicher Rückschritte entwickelte sich seit der Jahrhundertwende über eine politische Willensbildung für mehr Prävention eine stärker qualitätsorientierte Gesundheitsförderung. Dennoch dauerte es anderthalb Jahrzehnte, bis im vierten Anlauf 2015 ein sozialversicherungsbasiertes Präventionsgesetz verabschiedet wurde. Mit der Einbindung zahlreicher Akteure bietet dieses Chancen für eine Stärkung der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung auf Bundes-, Landes- und kommunaler Ebene.
Umweltbezogener Gesundheitsschutz im städtischen Lebensraum
Authors: Salomon Markus , Brodner Björn , Hornberg Claudia
Published: September 2018

Die Umweltsituation in den Städten hat auf die physische und psychische Gesundheit der Stadtbewohnenden direkten und indirekten Einfluss. Luftschadstoff- und Lärmimmissionen, das Fehlen von Grünräumen für Erholung und Freizeitgestaltung sowie die Ausbildung von Hitzeinseln aufgrund der Baustrukturen können sich negativ auf die Gesundheit auswirken. Diese Umweltbelastungen sind oftmals sozial ungleich verteilt. Eine zentrale Ursache für die genannten Belastungen ist der motorisierte Straßenverkehr bzw. die immer noch deutliche Autozentrierung in den Städten. Aus diesem Grund sollte dem Gesundheitsschutz in der Stadt- und Raumplanung deutlich mehr Gewicht verliehen werden. Außerdem begründet dieser auch die Notwendigkeit einer Mobilitätswende.

Effects of Compaction on Internal Stability of Granular Soils: An Experimental Evaluation of Particle-Based Methods
Authors: Israr Jahanzaib , Irfan Muhammad
Published: September 2018

Internal instability occurs when the filtrate under the influence of strong seepage forces accompanies the finer fraction from broadly graded granular soils and induces marked changes in its original particle distributions. The changes in particle size distribution may occasionally render the granular filters ineffective in retaining the protected base soils. A prior assessment of internal instability potential is emphasized through some of the well-accepted constriction and particle size–based criteria. The former criteria are too computationally complex to apply in practice, while the latter require only the particle distribution of a soil and are thus preferred by the practitioners for prompt assessments of internal stability. In this study, gradient-controlled hydraulic tests conducted over a range of variably compacted soils were used to analyze some of the existing criteria, which showed partial success in assessing the current test specimens. Further analysis facilitated a useful revision of a well-accepted criterion, which could then reliably interpret the current test results with enhanced accuracy. Additional experimental data from 15 published filtration studies could further validate the current revision, which incorporates both the particle size distribution and relative density of soils, thus making it more appealing for practitioners. Furthermore, a couple of real-life design examples presented to demonstrate the advantages and implications of the current proposition for practical purposes.
Fracture and Strain Field Evolution in Faulted Brine-Saturated Sandstone
Authors: Huang Yan-Hua , Yang Sheng-Qi , Hall Matthew R.
Published: September 2018

Geological carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration has received significant attention over the past two decades as an effective method to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere through deep underground injection of CO2. However, fractures or faults commonly exist in the rock mass, which provides the potential for CO2 leakage. To better understand the reactivation of preexisting fractures, it is essential to investigate fracture development and its effect on the stability of the rock. In this study, uniaxial compression tests were carried out on sandstone specimens by using a SANS rock mechanics servocontrolled testing system (MTS Systems Corporation, Eden Prairie, MN). Three kinds of Zunyi quartz-rich sandstone cylindrical specimens were tested, i.e., dry intact specimens, and both dry and brine-saturated specimens containing two preexisting faults. Based on the experimental results, the stress-strain curves and mechanical properties were analyzed and were closely related to the fault angle under both dry and saturated conditions. The macrofailure patterns can be classified into three modes: tensile coalescence failure, shear coalescence failure, and no coalescence failure. During the testing, a three-dimensional digital image correlation method was applied to the sandstone cylinders that contained two preexisting faults. Furthermore, acoustic emission (AE) sensors and strain gauges were bonded on the specimens to measure the AE signal and local strain in real time. The evolution characteristics of strain field, AE counts, and measured local strain were investigated. These findings can be regarded as a reference for future studies of fracture mechanisms in brine-saturated sandstones to better inform parameterization of constitutive geomechanical models in the study of CO2 injection in deep saline aquifers.
The Open-Circuit Voltage Characteristic and State of Charge Estimation for Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on an Improved Estimation Algorithm
Authors: Li Ling-Ling , Liu Zhi-Feng , Wang Ching-Hsin
Published: September 2018

The State of Charge (SoC)-Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) curve and the quality of estimation algorithm are two important factors that infect the accuracy of SoC estimation for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. The purpose of this study is to improve the accuracy of SoC estimation for the lithium-ion battery. The battery management system is established to monitor the state of lithium-ion batteries to ensure the safety and reliability of the battery system. Firstly, the specific experiments were designed to analyze the relationship between the SoC-OCV curve and experimental conditions (e.g., ambient temperature and current rate) and battery states (e.g., State of Health and positive materials). A series of conclusions was found and used to correct the process of SoC estimation. Secondly, by analyzing the reasons that the SoC estimation error increased in the low-capacity period and the late-stage of estimation using the extended Kalman filter (EKF), an improved estimation algorithm was proposed. In the improved estimation algorithm, the ampere-hour counting was used in the low-capacity period, and the EKF was used in the rest. The accuracy of the improved estimation algorithm was verified by two experiments. Verification results show that the improved estimation algorithm makes up for the drawback of the EKF, the estimation error in constant current discharge experiment is less than 2 %, and the estimated error under dynamic conditions is less than 3 %. Therefore, the improved estimation algorithm has a higher accuracy than the EKF for the SoC estimation and can meet the operation requirements of a lithium-ion battery. This study contributes to the improvement of the safety and reliability of battery systems in electric vehicles by improving the accuracy of SoC estimation for lithium-ion batteries.
Improved Resistance of Nanoparticle-Laden Polymer Coatings Subjected to Combined Silt and Cavitation
Authors: Syamsundar C. , Chatterjee Dhiman , Kamaraj M.
Published: September 2018

Hydropower generation, particularly in the Himalayan region during monsoons, suffers because of the erosion of turbine components, which is due to the high concentration of silt present in water. These high-power machines also suffer from cavitation, especially at off-design conditions. However, erosion caused by the synergistic effects of silt and cavitation can cause more serious degradation, is more complex, and remains an unsolved problem in hydraulic machines. The present work addresses this concern through the systematic study of different polymeric coatings under a controlled silt and cavitation environment. This article discusses the design and development of an experimental facility, where a specimen can be subjected to combined submerged slurry jet along with acoustic cavitation produced by a focused ultrasonic transducer. Novel polymeric coatings made of polyurethane (PU) reinforced with hard nanoparticles (B4C and SiC) of varying concentrations (from 1 to 75 weight percentage [wt. %] being defined with respect to polymer weight) are used in this work. These coatings show erosion resistance superior to the base material (16Cr-5Ni martensitic stainless steel) commonly used to make hydroturbine blades. Results are divided into three divisions. At first, we present erosion kinetics and discuss possible erosion wear mechanisms based on pure silt erosion experiments. Afterwards, pure cavitation erosion and synergistic studies of silt and cavitation studies under different experimental conditions are presented. Base material showed the maximum mass loss rate of ∼22 mg/h, pure PU suffered ∼9 mg/h, while nanoparticle-reinforced PU (10 wt. % B4C or 2 wt. % SiC) has a loss of ∼1.5 mg/h. This shows the tremendous potential that this approach of using polymer laden with hard nanoparticles has in combating the synergetic effects of silt and erosion. The results are well-supported by detailed scanning electron microscope images and analyses to explain the reason behind the successful performance of the coatings.
Attractor-like Dynamics in Belief Updating in Schizophrenia
Authors: Adams Rick A. , Napier Gary , Roiser Jonathan P. , Mathys Christoph , Gilleen James
Published: September 2018

Subjects with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (Scz) overweight unexpected evidence in probabilistic inference: such evidence becomes “aberrantly salient.” A neurobiological explanation for this effect is that diminished synaptic gain (e.g., hypofunction of cortical NMDARs) in Scz destabilizes quasi-stable neuronal network states (or “attractors”). This attractor instability account predicts that (1) Scz would overweight unexpected evidence but underweight consistent evidence, (2) belief updating would be more vulnerable to stochastic fluctuations in neural activity, and (3) these effects would correlate. Hierarchical Bayesian belief updating models were tested in two independent datasets (n= 80 male andn= 167 female) comprising human subjects with Scz, and both clinical and nonclinical controls (some tested when unwell and on recovery) performing the “probability estimates” version of the beads task (a probabilistic inference task). Models with a standard learning rate, or including a parameter increasing updating to “disconfirmatory evidence,” or a parameter encoding belief instability were formally compared. The “belief instability” model (based on the principles of attractor dynamics) had most evidence in all groups in both datasets. Two of four parameters differed between Scz and nonclinical controls in each dataset: belief instability and response stochasticity. These parameters correlated in both datasets. Furthermore, the clinical controls showed similar parameter distributions to Scz when unwell, but were no different from controls once recovered. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that attractor network instability contributes to belief updating abnormalities in Scz, and suggest that similar changes may exist during acute illness in other psychiatric conditions.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSubjects with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (Scz) make large adjustments to their beliefs following unexpected evidence, but also smaller adjustments than controls following consistent evidence. This has previously been construed as a bias toward “disconfirmatory” information, but a more mechanistic explanation may be that in Scz, neural firing patterns (“attractor states”) are less stable and hence easily altered in response to both new evidence and stochastic neural firing. We model belief updating in Scz and controls in two independent datasets using a hierarchical Bayesian model, and show that all subjects are best fit by a model containing a belief instability parameter. Both this and a response stochasticity parameter are consistently altered in Scz, as the unstable attractor hypothesis predicts.

A stable and well-structured tax system is one of the key factors driving economic growth and the attractiveness of the investment environment, ensuring the funds for the fulfillment of state functions. However, tax systems are often criticized and the corporate income tax is one of the most criticized element of the system. The aim of the study is to identify the economic factors affecting the collection of corporate income tax in the Baltic States, the strength and trend of the influence. The changes of corporate income tax rates, the dynamic of collection as well as the dynamic of factors influencing the collection of corporate income tax in the Baltic States were analysed. The impact of GDP, direct foreign investment, export, import, employment on the collection of corporate income tax was analysed as well. The study revealed that corporate income tax collection is strongly or very strongly correlated to GDP. The collection of corporate income tax was strongly correlated with imports in Latvia, while in Estonia a strong correlation with foreign investments was found. The lowest correlation in all countries was observed between corporate income tax collection and employment. Subsequent regression analysis resulted in the creation of one-dimensional regression equations between dependent (corporate income tax collection) and independent (GDP, direct foreign investment, export, import, employment) variables for every Baltic state.

The financial statements have to be prepared in accordance with Business Accounting Standards or International Accounting standards, but the data in the financial statements is still affected by the provisions of Lithuanian legislation. Although the Lithuanian legislation and business accounting standards have been harmonized since 2004, there are some differences which can cause an impact on the elements of financial statements. The biggest differences are noticed between the provisions of Business Accounting Standards and the Corporate Income Tax Law. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to determine the differences between the provisions of Business Accounting Standards and the Corporate Income Tax Law and their impact on the financial statements and decisions taken by the users of the financial statements. The following research methods are used: comparative analysis of scientific literature and information sources, synthesis, data collection and analysis, graphical data representation, statistical analysis, comparison, extrapolation, systematization. The article investigates the concept and meaning of financial and tax accounting; presents the methodology for the analysis of differences in the provisions of Business Accounting Standards and Corporate Income Tax Law; the evaluation of the results of the Business Accounting Standards and the Corporate Income Tax Law provisions’ application.

Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND:

African American adolescents appear to be the most at risk for asthma morbidity and mortality even compared with other minority groups, yet there are few successful interventions for this population that are used to target poorly controlled asthma.

METHODS:

African American adolescents (age 12–16 years) with moderate-to-severe persistent asthma and ≥1 inpatient hospitalization or ≥2 emergency department visits in 12 months were randomly assigned to Multisystemic Therapy–Health Care or an attention control group (N = 167). Multisystemic Therapy–Health Care is a 6-month home- and community-based treatment that has been shown to improve illness management and health outcomes in high-risk adolescents by addressing the unique barriers for each individual family with cognitive behavioral interventions. The attention control condition was weekly family supportive counseling, which was also provided for 6 months in the home. The primary outcome was lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]) measured over 12 months of follow-up.

RESULTS:

Linear mixed-effects models revealed that compared with adolescents in the comparison group, adolescents in the treatment group had significantly greater improvements in FEV1 secondary outcomes of adherence to controller medication, and the frequency of asthma symptoms. Adolescents in the treatment group had greater reductions in hospitalizations, but there were no differences in reductions in emergency department visits.

CONCLUSIONS:

A comprehensive family- and community-based treatment significantly improved FEV1, medication adherence, asthma symptom frequency, and inpatient hospitalizations in African American adolescents with poorly controlled asthma. Further evaluation in effectiveness and implementation trials is warranted.

Music and Medicine: being in the moment
Authors: Dornan Tim , Kelly Martina
Published: September 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. This article reviews the relationship between music and medicine, informed by our own personal experiences, and by leading scholars who have opened up music and medicine for critical reflection. Performing music, we suggest, is a state of being, in the moment, with fellow musicians and audience members. This establishes bidirectional communication, which can transport both parties to better places. Medicine is, likewise, an act of being with patients, whether or not performing a technical act (a clinical procedure, for example) is part of the interaction. Subjective, non-verbal, dimensions of the interaction engage both parties' senses. Good doctors, like good musicians, tune in to patients at a personal level. The limited research that has examined the relationship between music and medicine shows that music can help students develop auditory skills. Of potentially greater interest is the existential contribution music could make to medical education. We suggest that this could help students and doctors reflect on their experiences of being in the world, and how shared experience can relieve suffering.
POSIBILIDAD Y NECESIDAD DE UNA NARRATIVA MARXISTA. METARRELATOS, POSMODERNIDAD, HISTORIAS SUBALTERNAS*
Authors: Blanco Jorge Polo
Published: September 2018

RESUMEN En el presente trabajo pretendemos abordar una problemática que tiene que ver con aquella hipótesis, erigida en corazón de la posmodernidad, que sostenía la radical imposibilidad de construir metarrelatos capaces de hallar un sentido último del devenir histórico. Como corolario de lo anterior, habríamos asistido a una radical deslegitimación del marxismo como teoría capaz de proveer verdadero conocimiento histórico y, por ende, también habría quedado desacreditado como programa político de emancipación. Ubicado como uno de los grandes relatos de la modernidad europea que ya no tendrían nada que ofrecer, y defenestrado como ideología salvífica, el marxismo debe sin embargo dialogar con esa misma crítica para mostrar que todavía tiene legítima potencia a la hora de narrar con sentido (pero también con validez epistémica) algunas de las más determinantes subyugaciones que atenazan a buena parte de la humanidad.

Authors: Vieira Erika de Sá , Caldeira Nathalia Torquato , Eugênio Daniella Soares , Lucca Marina Moraes di , Silva Isília Aparecida
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate breastfeeding self-efficacy, the presence of postpartum depression symptons and the association between breastfeeding self-efficacy and postpartum depression with cessation of exclusive breastfeeding. Method: cohort study with 83 women. The instruments used were the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using the log-rank tests, analysis of variance and the Cox survival model. Results: breastfeeding self-efficacy (p = 0.315) and postpartum depression (p = 0.0879) did not show any statistical difference over time. The chances of cessation of exclusive breastfeeding decreased by 48% when self-efficacy changed from low to medium and by 80% when it changed from medium to high. Postpartum women who scored ≥10 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale interrupt exclusive breastfeeding, on average, 10 days earlier than those with a score ≤9, whose median breastfeeding duration was 38 days postpartum. Conclusion: breastfeeding self-efficacy was proved to be a protective factor for exclusive breastfeeding, while postpartum depression is a risk factor.

Resumo A aviação civil vem apresentando aumento progressivo do número de voos regulares nos últimos 10 anos e, em função disso, mais passageiros estão sendo transportados em viagens aéreas (VAs). Associado a isso, há um aumento das doenças relacionadas às VAs, especialmente naquelas de longa duração. Uma das complicações mais temidas dos voos é o tromboembolismo venoso (TEV), mas a sua real incidência é de difícil mensuração devido à falta de consenso sobre, por exemplo, quanto tempo após o pouso podemos considerar que o TEV possa estar relacionado à VA realizada ou mesmo quanto tempo de voo pode ser considerado como de longa duração. Muito tem se discutido sobre os mecanismos fisiopatológicos do TEV relacionado às VAs, quais passageiros são os de maior risco e quais medidas profiláticas podemos adotar com segurança e eficácia. O objetivo desta revisão é esclarecer esses pontos e as condutas consensuais atuais.

Resumo O uso de simuladores na educação médica tem sido cada vez mais frequente, porém pouco acessíveis devido ao custo elevado. Foi desenvolvido para tal um modelo acessível e de baixo custo para o aprendizado e o treinamento de suturas e anastomoses vasculares em Laboratório de Bases das Técnicas Cirúrgicas. Foram utilizados balões de látex de cores variadas, fio de polipropileno 6.0 e outros materiais específicos para sutura vascular (porta-agulhas e pinças). Para facilitar o reparo dos balões, eles foram fixados em parafusos sobre placas de madeira. Foram feitas anastomoses terminoterminal, terminolateral e laterolateral e construção de patch. A perviedade da anastomose foi testada a partir da injeção de água em uma extremidade do balão e a observação da saída do conteúdo líquido na extremidade oposta. As vantagens observadas nesse modelo de treinamento para anastomoses foram a maleabilidade, a resistência à passagem do fio e o fato de ser inorgânico. Os balões de látex são uma alternativa barata, viável, não perecível e de uso prolongado no ensino e treinamento das suturas e anastomoses arteriais.

No segundo caso, contudo, a própria expressão “trabalho realizado pela força de atrito cinético” precisa ser modificada.

Resumo No ensino tradicional da Física Geral, o ensino da óptica normalmente se restringe à denominada óptica linear, negligenciando a óptica não linear, a qual desempenha um papel cada vez mais importante em diversas áreas do desenvolvimento tecnológico. A presente comunicação aborda a proposta de um experimento simples e de baixo custo para a demonstração do efeito óptico não linear denominado automodulação espacial de fase. Este experimento vem complementar a proposta de experimentos de baixo custo na demonstração de efeitos ópticos não lineares que começou com a demonstração da chamada lente térmica num artigo anterior. A automodulação espacial de fase baseia-se na introdução de um termo adicional na fase da onda gaussiana incidente num meio como conseqüência de seu aquecimento pelo feixe. Como meio não linear é proposta a utilização de um fluido de simples obtenção e baixo custo, como molho a base de soja (molho shoyu), suco de uva integral ou um refrigerante cola.

Resumen: El propósito del presente artículo es analizar las categorías: cuerpo, desnudez y cabellera, articuladas por la violencia simbólica en contra de las mujeres. Asimismo, se busca evidenciar el grado de “naturalización” de los estereotipos femeninos, en este caso, el uso de cabellera larga como rasgo identitario de género, cuyo manejo discrecional permite el ejercicio indiscriminado del poder masculino. Entre otros casos, se muestra el uso del yihab musulmán, por el enorme parecido al velo de monjas católicas, cuya función es, precisamente, la negación de la cabellera, impidiendo el disfrute y erotización por parte del varón. Esto, en situación contraria al de la exhibición de la desnudez y la cabellera de la mujer ante el espectador masculino, especialmente en espacios íntimos, tanto familiares como los de encuentro sexual. Para los fines de este artículo, se entiende la desnudez como una de las expresiones de la corporalidad, en este caso, femenina, que ha sido el canal de recepción u objeto para el ejercicio permanente del poder masculino, es decir, como manifestación inequívoca del orden social androcéntrico. Se plantean aquí las tres categorías de análisis entrecruzadas por el eje transversal de la violencia simbólica, aludiendo en ocasiones a referentes históricos, artísticos y semióticos
Congruencia programática en el Cono Sur. Argentina, Chile y Uruguay en perspectiva comparada
Authors: Herrera Mario , Morales Mauricio
Published: September 2018

Los sistemas de partidos institucionalizados pueden convivir con una alta incongruencia programática entre élite y ciudadanía. Por el contrario, sistemas de partidos menos institucionalizados podrían estar en la posición de generar una mayor congruencia programática. Analizamos esta aparente anomalía en el Cono Sur de América Latina, comparando Argentina, Chile y Uruguay. Metodológicamente, utilizamos tres medidas de congruencia: promedios, comparación de distribuciones ( many to many ), distancia entre los votantes y un representante típico ( many to one ). Sobre esta última medida diseñamos modelos de regresión múltiple para identificar las variables que predicen mayor congruencia. Concluimos que en sistemas estables las preferencias electorales se mantienen a pesar de la distancia entre élite y votantes en algunos ejes de competencia, siendo Uruguay el caso más representativo.
A teenage patient with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, a splenorenal shunt, and congenital hepatic fibrosis: a case report

ABSTRACT A 16-year-old female patient previously diagnosed with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) presented with acute bilateral pneumonia, upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by ruptured esophageal varices, ascites, and lower limb edema. She required intensive care and an endoscopic procedure to treat the gastrointestinal bleeding. The analysis of the differential diagnosis for chronic liver disease indicated she had a spontaneous splenorenal shunt. Ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed the patient had cirrhosis, as characteristically seen in individuals with ARPKD. She had no symptoms at discharge and was referred for review for a combined transplant.
Soberanía y competición política - 1808-1830 Unos problemas y unas definiciones
Authors: Annino Antonio
Published: September 2018

Resumen El artículo tiene por objeto reflexionar sobre cómo debemos entender el processo que eclosiona en Iberoamérica tras los acontecimientos de 1808 en la Peninsula, abriendo um ancho campo de disputa y competición política por la instalación y el control de nuevos gobiernos soberanos. Considerando que términos como “ambivalencias”, “sincretismo”, “aporías”, “contradicciones” etc. son inapropiados para definirlo, se argumenta la conveniencia de renunciar a entender la dinámica legaleinstitucionalque entonces se experimenta por medio de um contraste estéril entre modernidad y tradición. El trabajo defiende que el puntorealfue que las elites que alteraron radicalmente el campo de la política a partir de 1808 no pusieron en discusión la legalidad más bien la implementaron, para luego sufrir en carne propia las consecuencias.
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento: sus viajes, la modernidad y el apologismo al federalismo norteamericano
Authors: Dupré Eduardo Hodge
Published: September 2018

Resumen El siguiente trabajo aborda la influencia de Estados Unidos en el pensamiento político del argentino Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. El objetivo es demostrar que sus viajes por aquel país, iniciados en 1847, fueron determinantes en la configuración de sus planteamientos federales. Las apologías de Sarmiento por el modelo norteamericano alcanzaron tales dimensiones, que llegó a sostener que las provincias argentinas alcanzarían la tan anhelada modernidad, si lograban regirse por el mismo sistema.
Diretas ou indiretas? O debate sobre as eleições no Brasil (1821-1823)
Authors: Motta Kátia Sausen da
Published: September 2018

Resumo Este artigo contempla os primeiros debates políticos sobre as eleições ocorridos no Brasil entre os anos de 1821 e 1823. A principal indagação presente nos registros da época, “eleição direta ou indireta?”, revelou intensa mobilização sobre o método eleitoral no momento em que se definiam os princípios constitucionais do Reino português e, logo depois, daqueles que fundamentariam a Constituição do futuro Império do Brasil. A partir das discussões travadas nos órgãos deliberativos, periódicos e panfletos, foi analisada a participação dos deputados “brasileiros” na decisão sobre o tema nos dois lados do Atlântico e a campanha pelo sufrágio universal iniciada em Portugal e estendida ao Brasil. O objetivo foi discutir a visão dos políticos “brasileiros” sobre a participação do homem comum nas eleições e as razões pelas quais se optou pelo pleito em dois graus no Brasil, solução divergente à fixada na experiência constitucional das Cortes de Lisboa.
Analysis and validation of correlation curves between sclerometry and compression tests for the evaluation of compressive strength of concretes

Published: September 2018

Abstract The present work consists in obtaining correlation curves between compressive tests and sclerometry tests from an extensive experimental program comprising 630 concrete cylindrical samples cast in laboratory, employing materials and methods available in Brazil. The concretes, with compressive strengths ranging from 20~MPa to 50~MPa, were submitted to sclerometry tests and mechanical compressive tests. The results were used to obtain correlation curves. which were adopted in measurements of structural elements molded in a construction site, indicating that the curves provided by the equipment manufacturer are not suitable for the material in study. This is the first stage of a broader study aiming to contribute to the improvement of the Brazilian code regulating the application of the sclerometry to obtain concrete compressive strength.

Published: September 2018

Abstract The bare steel structural members have a low fire resistance. However, in steel and concrete composite members, the concrete encasement, besides the contribution to the stiffness of the whole system, reduces the amount of heat that reaches the steel profile, increasing the its fire resistance. The aim of this paper is to conduct a numerical study on the behavior of steel and steel and concrete composite columns in fire, in order to compare their performance based on the variation of parameters such as the stiffness of the surrounding structure, geometric imperfection and load ratio. It has been found that, in general, the intensity of the geometric imperfection and stiffness of the surrounding structure does not affect the fire resistance of steel and composite columns. However, the stiffness of the surrounding structure raised the maximum value of the restraining forces generate throughout the heating. Regarding the load ratio, when increased, the fire resistance and critical temperature decreased.
