Afrontamiento y sensibilidad emocional como moderadores de la relación estrés-salud en médicos venezolanos
Authors: Bethelmy Lisbeth , Guarino Leticia
Published: August 2018

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el rol moderador de la sensibilidad emocional y los estilos de afrontamiento en la relación estrés-salud en médicos venezolanos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 130 médicos que trabajan en unidades críticas de hospitales públicos de la ciudad de Caracas, a quienes se evaluó su nivel de estrés laboral, sensibilidad emocional, estilos de afrontamiento y salud percibida. Las regresiones jerárquicas indicaron que los estilos de afrontamiento racional y por desapego emocional actúan como variables protectoras de los síntomas físicos, mientras que el afrontamiento por evitación constituye un factor de riesgo que acentúa los efectos negativos del estrés sobre la salud. El afrontamiento por evitación fue la única variable que actuó como moderadora de la relación entre el control percibido y los síntomas psicológicos. La sensibilidad emocional no mostró un efecto moderador, pero pudo establecerse su impacto directo sobre los síntomas. El estudio brinda nueva evidencia empírica para los modelos de sensibilidad emocional y afrontamiento para el estudio de las diferencias individuales en los profesionales de la medicina en Venezuela.
Cultura del Honor e inteligencia emocional: ¿Conceptos relacionados o incompatibles?
Authors: López-Zafra Esther , Rodríguez-Espartal Noelia , Jiménez Morales María Isabel
Published: August 2018

En el presente estudio relacionamos dos conceptos, Inteligencia Emocional y Cultura del Honor; en ambos casos el aspecto emocional es muy relevante y creemos que pueden tener un papel en las relaciones de pareja.Planteamos que ambos conceptos se relacionarían en sentido inverso, de forma que un mayor nivel de Inteligencia Emocional llevaría a otorgar una menor importancia a la Cultura del Honor y viceversa. Para estudiarlo se utilizó una muestra de 203 parejas heterosexuales que completaron un cuestionario. Entre nuestros resultados comprobamos que la dimensión Atención a las emociones está relacionada con la cultura del honor. Entre nuestras conclusiones planteamos que ambos conceptos están relacionados en alguna medida y que la congruencia en la valoración de la Cultura del Honor entre los dos miembros de la pareja también se relacionará con un nivel de Inteligencia Emocional mayor que en parejas donde no se produce esta congruencia.
Psicología de la Anomia
Authors: Benbenaste Narciso , Etchezahar Edgardo , Del Río Marta
Published: August 2018

La anomia es un fenómeno que no sólo afecta a la convivencia cotidiana sino que incide en las instituciones y, tal cual lo estudiara el neo-institucionalismo económico, en la calidad de las instituciones y con ello en las posibilidades del desarrollo económico. Hasta el presente el tratamiento de ese fenómeno, predominantemente, proviene de la vertiente sociológica. Así en la primera parte de este trabajo se reconocen algunos de los aportes de Durkheim, agregando precisiones realizadas por Nino acerca de la “anomia boba”. Luego se describe lo que estimamos es la configuración psicológica básica de una población en que la anomia no es percibida como disvalor. Esa configuración básica, resultado de observaciones y lo emergente de nuestras investigaciones, está compuesta por los siguientes cuatro rasgos - que hemos definido, psicológicamente hablando, como rasgos regresivos: a) El desarrollo individual representado como opuesto a lo social; b) tendencia a indiferenciar autoridad y autoritarismo, c) la primarización de los vínculos secundarios; d) el machismo.
La discusión acerca del argumento anselmiano: algunas reflexiones en torno a la experiencia sentida
Authors: Otaíza Morales Mauricio
Published: August 2018

La discusión sobre el argumento anselmiano se reedita inexplicablemente una y otra vez a lo largo de la historia y es una cuestión particularmente importante para la Filosofía de la Psicología. Si se considera la solidísima línea de argumentación iniciada por Gaunilón y continuada por Kant parece muy extraña la vigencia del problema. Sin embargo, hay algo que nos parece todavía más extraño: la pueril obviedad de las objeciones a San Anselmo. Creemos que nos encontramos ante uno de varios célebres diálogos de sordos fundados en una todavía insuficiente comprensión de la experiencia sentida activada por el símbolo maius.
Análisis del espacio público versus privado en docentes no universitarios españoles
Authors: Rodríguez Castro Yolanda , Lameiras Fernández María , Carrera Fernández María Victoria
Published: August 2018

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la división del espacio público y privado del colectivo docente no universitario español, teniendo en cuenta la tipología del centro educativo. La muestra representativa a nivel nacional, está compuesta por 744 docentes (62.5% son profesoras y 37.4% son profesores), con una media de edad  de 41.3 (SD: 9.9). Se aplicaron los siguientes cuestionarios: de variables sociodemográficas y de Tiempo dedicado a las tareas domésticas (adaptado de Martínez, 1995). Se confirma la presencia masiva de la mujer en el ámbito educativo, sobretodo en la Educación Primaria, aunque son los profesores los que ostentan los cargos de mayor responsabilidad, independientemente de la tipología del centro educativo. Y que siguen siendo las profesoras las que sobrellevan una mayor carga en el desarrollo de las tareas domésticas. Esto evidencia la clara asimetría entre los géneros en la división del espacio público versus privado en el colectivo docente.
Actitudes hacia la inmigración de los estudiantes de psicología chilenos: análisis diferenciales
Authors: Navas Leandro , Sánchez Alejandra
Published: August 2018

El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las actitudes hacia la inmigración de un grupo de estudiantes de psicología chilenos. Participaron 117 sujetos con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 33 años. Se aplicó la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Inmigración (León, Mira y Gómez, 2007). Los resultados indicaron que el instrumento seleccionado presenta coeficientes de fiabilidad aceptables y que las actitudes de los sujetos muestran una tendencia favorable, excepto en la variable distancia social positiva. No obstante, un número importante de sujetos mostró una actitud intermedia, la cual se podría relacionar con un prejuicio sutil. Existen diferencias en las actitudes que favorecen a las mujeres y a los individuos que se han relacionado con personas inmigrantes.
Análisis de características estereotípicas de género en líderes y seguidores
Authors: Lupano Perugini María Laura , Castro Solano Alejandro
Published: August 2018

Se realizó una investigación con el fin de analizar como se describen líderes y seguidores en función de las características estereotípicas de género percibidas y, además, verificar si existen diferencias en dichas características según tipo de puesto (líder/ seguidor). Participaron 612 sujetos adultos, 329 varones (54%) y 283 mujeres (46%), (media edad = 37,54 años; DE=11,88). El 59% ocupaba puestos de dirección y el resto eran subordinados. Se utilizó una versión abreviada del Bem Sex Roles (Bem, 1974) para la recolección de los datos. Los resultados muestran que los líderes hombres se autodescriben principalmente con atributos agénticos-masculinos (e.g. dominante), comparado con los seguidores que lo hacen a partir de algunas características comunales-femeninas (e.g. sumisión). En relación a las mujeres, las líderes se autodescriben principalmente con atributos andróginos combinado cualidades de ambos géneros (e.g. dominante y sensible a las necesidades de otros); en cambio las empleadas destacaron atributos comunales (e.g. sumisón).

Adicionalmente, la edad de la víctima y el apoyo familiar ante la develación arrojaron correlaciones con el procesamiento traumatogénico de experiencias de violencia sexual.
Representaciones sociales acerca del impacto medioambiental de las empresas termoeléctricas en la bahía de Quintero-Puchuncaví
Authors: Carrasco Aguilar Claudia , Morales Bierschwale Pamela , Salazar Fuentes Jenniffer
Published: August 2018

En la bahía de Quintero-Puchuncaví se plantea la tensión entre el desarrollo económico y la preservación de los recursos naturales y la calidad de vida. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo que abordó las representaciones sociales sobre el impacto medioambiental en habitantes de la bahía de Quintero-Puchuncaví. Se realizaron dos grupos focales con trabajadores de una escuela e integrantes del movimiento de Comunidades por un Derecho a la Vida, aplicando un análisis de contenido que arrojó como principales resultados que en la zona primaría el desarrollo económico e industrial en perjuicio de los recursos naturales, la salud, la calidad de vida y los derechos humanos de los habitantes del sector. Existiendo además, la idea de una política de ocultamiento de la información y medidas asistencialistas que intentarían, de forma ineficaz, mitigar el daño provocado. Se reconoce una actitud desfavorable en ambos grupos hacia el impacto medioambiental generado por las empresas, pues consideran que esta problemática ha superado todo límite. Esto moviliza vías de acción a nivel microsocial, en el caso de profesores, y a nivel de localidad, en el caso del movimiento.
Identidad y equipamiento en colectivos biosociales: una lectura semiótico-material
Authors: Castillo-Sepúlveda Jorge
Published: August 2018

La biosocialidad hace referencia a modos de identificación personal y colectiva que se definen a partir de un rasgo biológico. Diversas investigaciones, que han abordado formaciones sociales de este tipo, han exaltado  cómo en los procesos de interacción con entidades socio-técnicas la identidad de los actores involucrados se  ve redefinida. En este trabajo se analiza las implicancias de la participación en colectivos biosociales para los  humanos involucrados, desde la teoría del actor-red. En tal sentido, se describe cómo la identidad en estos espacios se comporta como una composición que implica la asociación de elementos heterogéneos, que articulan  un humano a una serie de entidades que permiten transformar la definición de sí mismo. De esta manera, se  adquieren significados que amplifican el espectro de acciones posibles al enfrentar la incertidumbre de la enfermedad. Empleando el término de equipamiento, descrito por Foucault y rescatado por Rabinow, se considera  que la participación en entramados biosociales incide en la adquisición de nuevas capacidades para enfrentar  escenarios de incertidumbre. Un equipamiento consiste en un continuo de acciones orientadas a un fin práctico que  implica la preparación para hacer frente a contextos diversos, a partir de la asociación a entidades heterogéneas.

Introducción: Investigación psicosocial frente a situaciones estresantes o traumáticas
Authors: García Martínez Felipe Eduardo
Published: August 2018

Los eventos altamente estresantes son alteraciones en la historia de vida de un individuo (Sutin, Costa, Wethington & Eaton, 2010) generalmente asociados a momentos de crisis más bien inesperados, ante los cuales las personas no han desplegado estrategias de afrontamiento adecuadas para controlar sus efectos. Estos eventos pueden considerarse potencialmente traumáticos cuando su exposición implica una amenaza para su integridad física o la de los demás (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) o cuando rompen supuestos individuales básicos acerca del mundo que guían sus vidas (Janoff-Bulman, 1992). Su carácter potencial hace referencia a que no todas las personas reaccionan ante ellos de un modo que podamos calificar como postraumático (Norris, 1992). Hay personas a las que simplemente no les pasa nada, generando otra línea de investigación ligada más bien a la resiliencia (Bonnano, 2004), o que son capaces de crecer y aprender a pesar del malestar asociado, en la línea del crecimiento postraumático (García, Cova, Rincón, Vázquez & Páez, 2016).

Authors: Qurrata Vika Annisa
Published: August 2018

This study aims to find out how the skipper (as principal) interact with pandega fishermen (as agents) in creating mudaraba-style contracts in marine fisheries (patron-client). With in-depth interviews, there are two important findings: in general juragandi Blue Water Waters especially in the payang fishermen and the lifeboats impose exploitation fees or operational costs to the pandega fishermen in a shared way. Then there is a bit of aberration in the profit-sharing system, but this institution seems to exist and be a deal that never openly conflicts. Based on the findings and some literature, mudaraba contracts can be a purely alternative financing if it is more just and beneficial to both parties ie the master / shahibul maal as principal and pandega / mudharib as agent. To minimize the possibility of moral hazard and adverse selection on the mudaraba contract, it is advisable to monitor each return of the vessel for the sale of fish and the skipper can place one of the trustees other than the pandega fisherman.

So the necessary paradigm shift thinking in the concept of marketing.
Spiritual marketing comes to be the solution to the problem. The concept of spiritual marketing developed by Hermawan Kertajaya, we use as a medium of tourism marketing in Madura with sharia tourism and culture approach in accordance with the characteristics of Madurese society that is religious and full of cultural nuances. In the concept of Spiritual Marketing there are four variables: theistic (rabbaniyah), ethical (akhlaqiyyah), realistic (a-waqi'iyyah), and humanist (insaniyyah) that will guide in this concept. Spiritual marketing has an orientation to God, so the whole process in marketing activities follows the guidance of Islam.
The method used in this paper is qualitative descriptive with primary and secondary data. This concept requires synergy between government, religious leaders, academics, MUI, and society in Madura so that its implementation can take place and produce positive results for the progress of tourism in Madura.

Consideraciones teórico-metodológicas del mito como vía de comprensión e integración cultural
Authors: Ramírez Angarita Claudio , Santos Gutierréz Cristhian Ricardo
Published: August 2018

La dualidad, asumida desde una historia de la filosofía eurocéntrica, entre la racionalidad mítica y la racionalidad filosófica, marca un punto importante para el desarrollo del pensamiento occidental y sus efectos en otras formas de ver el mundo. Dicha situación, propuesta entre los antiguos, hoy toma vigencia para América Latina y todas aquellas instituciones político-pedagógicas encargadas de la formación de sujetos histórico, donde, la filosofía se entiende como producción cultural que denuncia el encubrimiento del otro. En este escrito se hace un análisis de las principales características del mito, entendiéndolo no solo como antecedente de la racionalidad filosófica y luego científica, sino como un elemento constitutivo de la misma, es decir que no desaparece; por el contrario, coexiste. Asimismo, se pretende, desde una lectura dialéctica, revindicar la racionalidad mítica bajo la cual se soportaba la explicación de su realidad histórico-cultural concreta, teniendo como referencia la teoría de los cinco elementos originarios y la analogía que se presenta en las culturas nativas. Como conclusión, se presenta una ejemplificación práctica de lo expuesto anteriormente.

Relação entre produção e percepção de fala: coerência com o parâmetro fonético-acústico
Authors: Berti Larissa Cristina
Published: August 2018

The present study investigates the perceptual consequences of the presence of categorical productions and phonic gradients and also tries to provide an understanding of the relationship between speech production and perception. Thirty five subjects, divided in three groups (adults, children with and without phonological disorders), participated in an identification experiment, which used typical stimuli (categorical productions of /s/ and /+”/) and intermediate stimuli (gradient productions of /s/ and /+”/). Typical stimuli and intermediate stimuli were perceived by all the subjects. Interestingly, children with phonological disorders identified the stimulus, behaving just as the other groups, contrary to what has been reported in the literature. The results suggest that there is an intrinsic relationship between speech production and perception. We propose, then, that the dynamical nature of speech production must be taken into account and, by implication, a dynamical model of development in the studies related to the production and perception of phonic contrast must be adopted.
Algumas observações sobre as proparoxítonas e o sistema acentual do português
Authors: Araújo Gabriel Antunes , Guimarães-Filho Zwinglio Oliveira , Oliveira Leonardo , Viaro Mário Eduardo
Published: August 2018

In Brazilian Portuguese, words with antepenultimate syllable stress are regarded as exceptions to lexical stress rules. Evidence for their exceptionality has been given in the literature: the late introduction of these words in the language, the predominant occurrence of the antepenultimate syllable stress in low frequency words, and the tendency of the language to shift stress to the penultimate syllable. Using a corpus of 18,413 words with antepenultimate stress and their respective phonological transcription from the Houaiss dictionary (HOUAISS VILLAR 2001), we argue that these claims are not always accurate and that words with antepenultimate stress are a long established and consistent pattern in the language. Furthermore, we show that stress shift to the penultimate syllable is not the rule, but it is only one possibility, restricted by the phonotactics of the language, and that preservation of antepenultimate stress is far more frequent. The data and analyses presented in this paper argue that prediction of lexical stress in Brazilian Portuguese must include words with the antepenultimate pattern, as there is no evidence that they are either disappearing in the language or being avoided by speakers.

Os estudos de semântica vêm apresentando particular desenvolvimento, tanto como uma disciplina no domínio da linguística, quanto pelas novas questões que permitiu levantar a partir da segunda metade do século XIX. Tal como vem se apresentando hoje, a semântica estabelece relações com domínios como a lógica, a pragmática, a filosofia da linguagem e a análise de discurso. Nesta região de contatos e confrontos, os estudos linguísticos de semântica constituíram uma tomada de posição particular que chamamos de semântica da enunciação.
A dinâmica do sentido no deslocamento estrutural
Authors: Joanilho Mariângela Peccioli Galli
Published: August 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um conjunto de reflexões para que seja possível o estabelecimento de uma compreensão da noção de estrutura em suas relações com o exterior da enunciação. O que se busca é, sobretudo, compreender o funcionamento de alguns procedimentos de textualidade, que constituem os sentidos do texto no acontecimento, reinscrevendo a palavra-chave (a estrutura ou o deslocamento estrutural) na história deste conceito. Temos, pelo menos, dois motivos para isso: delinear uma concepção de estrutura que seja pertinente ao tratamento das questões relativas à textualidade, bem como pensar a relação da materialidade da língua com seu exterior constitutivo. De um lado, o trabalho visa contribuir para a História das Ideias Linguísticas, da qual fazem parte, em diferentes momentos e a partir de abordagens diversas, os conceitos de estrutura e textualidade. De outro lado, o trabalho visa contribuir para a reflexão sobre os conceitos operados pela Semântica do Acontecimento. Em particular, interessa refletir sobre o que se pode chamar de “estrutura” em uma semântica histórica da enunciação.
Stability and Flexibility of the Organizational Culture after the Transition of Economy—The Case of Serbia
Authors: Kirin Snežana , Gavric Gordana , Vasojevic Nena , Rakonjac Ivan
Published: August 2018

The main goal of this paper is to address how quickly and to what extent are international organizational cultures, brought by the world companies after the process of privatization, being implemented in a single monolithic culture. For this purpose was adopted and applied Denison model of organizational culture, which has been chosen because it emphasizes the need for balance between requirements for organization’s stability demands and its required flexibility. Considering that a different organizational culture reflects systematic change of an entire organization, this paper focuses on exploring the differences in culture dimensions among companies in domestic and foreign ownership in Serbia. A sample of 1000 employees was statistically processed. Changes in organizational culture tend to be relatively slow. The results confirm that organizational culture is a complex working environment, concerning organizational values, which represents a fundamental element of organizations. Given that the process of company ownership changes occurred fifteen years prior to the research implementation, obtained results show effects of interaction between national and organizational culture in this, relatively short, period of time. Obtained results can be generalized to countries that are passing or have recently passed a transition, and are similar in cultural characteristics.
A Solution to the Measurement Problem in the Idiographic Approach Using Computer Adaptive Practicing
Authors: Hofman Abe D. , Jansen Brenda R. J. , de Mooij Susanne M. M. , Stevenson Claire , van der Maas Han L. J.
Published: August 2018

Molenaar’s manifesto on psychology as idiographic science brought the N = 1 times series perspective firmly to the attention of developmental scientists. The rich intraindividual variation in complex developmental processes requires the study of these processes at the level of the individual. Yet, the idiographic approach is all but easy in practical research. One major limitation is the collection of short interval times series of high quality data on developmental processes. In this paper we present a novel measurement approach to this problem. We developed an online practice and monitoring system which is now used by thousands of Dutch primary school children on a daily or weekly basis, providing a new window on cognitive development. We will introduce the origin of this new instrument, called Math Garden, explain its setup, and present and discuss ways to analyze children’s individual developmental pathways.
Pavement Damage Crack Recognition Method Based on High-Resolution Linear Array Cameras and Adaptive Lifting Algorithm
Authors: Han Yi , Tu Shiwei , Yang Yanyu , Lei Ke , Liu Chunlei
Published: August 2018

This paper proposes a crack recognition method based on high-resolution line array cameras and adaptive lifting algorithm. By defining the crack rate, this algorithm calculates the ratio of the crack area to the area of the entire collected image to characterize the damage extent of the current section. The algorithm first uses image preprocessing to reduce the image noise, then uses histogram equalization to enhance the feature of the crack region, divides the whole image into multiple sub-blocks, and extracts region features in the sub-block. At the same time, this algorithm defines related feature descriptors, and constructs weak classifiers according to each feature descriptor, and converts the weak classifiers into strong classifiers by using an adaptive lifting algorithm. Finally, this algorithm realizes the division of the crack regions. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can meet the actual needs and is better than other classical algorithms.
Techno-Economic Feasibility of Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic and Battery Energy Storage Power System for a Soshanguve Mobile Cellular Base Station in South Africa
Authors: Aderemi Banjo Ayoade , Chowdhury SP Daniel , Olwal Thomas O. , Abu-Mahfouz Adnan M.
Published: August 2018

Over the years, sustainability, impact on the environment, as well as the operation expenditure have been a major concern to the deployment of mobile cellular base stations worldwide. This is because the mobile cellular base stations are known to consume a high percentage of power within the mobile cellular network. Such energy consumption contributes to the emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) through the use of conventional diesel generating a set. As a result, the mobile cellular operators are faced with the dilemma of minimising the power consumption, GHG emission, and the operation cost, while improving the Quality of Service of the networks. In attempting to find a solution, this study presents the feasibility and simulation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) with battery hybrid power system (HPS) as a predominant source of power for a specific mobile cellular base station site situated in Soshanguve area of the city of Pretoria, South Africa. It also presents the technical development, showed the environmental advantage and cost benefits of using a solar PV-battery HPS to power a base station site of a 24 hrs daily load of 241.10 kWh/d and the peak load of 20.31 kW as compared to using the HPS of solar PV-diesel generating set-battery. The solar resource pattern for the city of Pretoria was collected from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and modelled statistically. Thus, the statistical modelling done using solar radiation resource exposure characteristic patterns of Pretoria, South Africa, revealed an average annual daily solar radiation of 5.4645 Wh/m2/d and 0.605 clearness index. The simulation and the design were done using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables and Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation finding shows that the HPS of solar PV-battery combination has about 59.62 % saving on Net Present Cost, Levelized Cost of Energy, and 80.87% saving on Operating cost as against conventional BS powered with Gen Set-Battery.
Quantum Nonlocality from Higher-Derivative Gravity
Authors: Duane Gregory S.
Published: August 2018

A classical origin for the Bohmian quantum potential, as that potential term arises in the quantum mechanical treatment of black holes and Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridges, can be based on 4th-order extensions of Einstein's equations. In Bohm's ontological interpretation, black hole radiation, and the analogous tunneling process of quantum transmission through an ER bridge, are classically allowed if the dynamics are modified to include such a quantum potential. The 4th-order extension of general relativity required to generate the quantum potential is given by adding quadratic curvature terms with coefficients that maintain a fixed ratio, as their magnitudes approach zero. Quantum transmission through the classically non-traversable bridge is replaced by classical transmission through a traversable wormhole. If entangled particles are connected by a Planck-width ER bridge, as conjectured by Maldacena and Susskind, then the classical wormhole transmission effect gives the ontological nonlocal connection between the particles posited in Bohm's interpretation of their entanglement. It is hypothesized that higher-derivative extensions of classical gravity can account for the nonlocal part of the quantum potential generally.
Representation and Characterization of Nonstationary Processes by Dilation Operators and Induced Shape Space Manifolds

Published: August 2018

We proposed in this work the introduction of a new vision of stochastic processes through geometry induced by dilation. The dilation matrices of a given process are obtained by a composition of rotation matrices built in with respect to partial correlation coefficients. Particularly interesting is the fact that the obtention of dilation matrices is regardless of the stationarity of the underlying process. When the process is stationary, only one dilation matrix is obtained and it corresponds therefore to Naimark dilation. When the process is nonstationary, a set of dilation matrices is obtained. They correspond to Kolmogorov decomposition. In this work, the nonstationary class of periodically correlated processes was of interest. The underlying periodicity of correlation coefficients is then transmitted to the set of dilation matrices. Because this set lives on the Lie group of rotation matrices, we can see them as points of a closed curve on the Lie group. Geometrical aspects can then be investigated through the shape of the obtained curves, and to give a complete insight into the space of curves, a metric and the derived geodesic equations are provided. The general results are adapted to the more specific case where the base manifold is the Lie group of rotation matrices, and because the metric in the space of curve naturally extends to the space of shapes, this enables a comparison between curves’ shapes and allows then the classification of processes’ measure.

Authors: Yi Changhyo , Kim Kijung
Published: August 2018

This study aimed to ascertain the applicability of a machine learning approach to the description of residential mobility patterns of households in the Seoul metropolitan region (SMR). The spatial range and temporal scope of the empirical study were set to 2015 to review the most recent residential mobility patterns in the SMR. The analysis data used in this study involve the microdata of Internal Migration Statistics provided by the Microdata Integrated Service of Statistics Korea. We analysed the residential relocation distance of households in the SMR by using machine learning techniques such as ordinary least squares regression and decision tree regression. The results of this study showed that a decision tree model can be more advantageous than ordinary least squares regression in terms of the explanatory power and estimation of moving distance. A large number of residential movements are mainly related to the accessibility to employment markets and some household characteristics. The shortest movements occur when households with two or more members move into densely populated districts. In contrast, job-based residential movements have relatively longer distance. Furthermore, we derived knowledge on residential relocation distance, which can provide significant information on the urban management of metropolitan residential districts and the construction of reasonable housing policies.

Published: August 2018

Using analytic approach we study the effect of HPA axis secretions to the emotional variation of bipolar II disorder patient. Modified Duffing – Van der Pol oscillator was used to model the emotional variation, that was solved analytically using multiple scale perturbation to obtain an asymptotic solution. The solution was graphed to understand the effect of the variation of the cortisol to the oscillator. It was observed that the increase or decrease of the HPA hormone from the basal level in the body system, affects the mood variation of bipolar II disorder patients.

Published: August 2018

Fractional – ordered oscillator is used to model the mood variation of bipolar II disorder patient and is investigated analytically. Based on multiple scale perturbation method, the approximate solution and the amplitude – frequency equation are obtained. The effect of fractional – order damping derivative on the mood variation is analyzed, and it is found that it does not only affect the damping mechanism but also the medication parameter. The stressors represented as the forcing function has adverse effects on the mood variation, succinctly leads to unbounded amplitude increase; which is checkmated by increasing the damping coefficient and the nonlinearity parameter or medication parameter.

The anti-inflammatory effect of ginsenoside Rh2 (GRh2) is one of the most important ginsenosides. The purpose of this study is to identify the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of GRh2 after LPS challenge lung injury animal model. GRh2 reduced LPS-induced NO, TNF-α, IL-1, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 productions in lung tissues. GRh2 treatment decreased the histological alterations in the lung tissues and BALF protein content and total cells number also diminished in LPS-induced lung injury mice. Moreover, GRh2 blocked iNOS, COX-2, the phosphorylation of IκB-α, ERK, JNK, p38, Raf-1 and MEK protein expression which is corresponded to the growth of HO-1, Nrf-2, catalase, SOD and GPx expressions in LPS-induce lung injury. An experimental study has suggested that GRh2 has provided with anti-inflammatory effects in vivo, and its potential therapeutic efficacy in major anterior segment lung diseases.

Roma is the largest ethnic minority of Europe with poor health status, which is poorly explored due to legal constrains of ethnicity assessment. We aimed to elaborate health-indicators for adults living in segregated Roma settlements (SRS) representing the most vulnerable Roma subpopulation. SRSs were mapped in a study area populated by 54682 adults. Records of all adults living in the study area were processed in the National Institute of Health Insurance Fund Management. Aggregated, age-sex standardized SRS-specific and non-SRS-specific indicators on healthcare utilization and premature death along with the ratio of them (RR) were computed with 95% confidence intervals. The rate of GP appointments was significantly higher among SRS inhabitants (RR=1.152, 95%CI: 1.136–1.167). The proportion of subjects hospitalized (RR=1.286, 1.177–1.405), and the reimbursement for inpatient care (RR=1.060, 1.057–1.064) were elevated for SRS. Premature mortality was significantly higher in SRSs (RR=1.711, 1.085-2.696). Our study demonstrated that it is possible to compute the SRS-specific version of the routine healthcare indicators without violating the protection of personal data by converting a sensitive ethical issue to a non-sensitive small area geographical analysis; there is an SRS-specific healthcare utilization pattern, which is associated with elevated costs and increased risk of premature death.

A fast and effective determination method of different species of vegetable seeds oil is vital in the plant oil industry. The near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) method was developed in this study to massively analyze the oil and moisture contents of Camellia gauchowensis Chang and C. semiserrata Chi seeds kernels. In the prediction models of NIRS, the levels of accuracy obtained were sufficient for C. gauchowensis Chang and C. semiserrata Chi, the correlation coefficient of which oil were 0.983 and 0.962, respectively, while which of moisture were 0.937 and 0.907, respectively. The near infrared spectrum of crush seeds kernels was more precise compared to intact kernels. Based on the calibration models of the two Camellia species, the NIRS predictive oil contents of C. gauchowensis Chang and C. semiserrata Chi seeds kernels were 48.71 ± 8.94% and 31.71 ± 7.39%, respectively, and the NIRS predictive moisture contents were 4.39 ± 1.08% and 3.49 ± 0.71%, respectively. Compared with the traditional chemical measurement, the rapid, precise measurement of oil and moisture of C. gauchowensis Chang and C. semiserrata Chi seeds kernels can be actualized by NIRS method.
