Authors: Momberg Thaiga Danielle Saldanha , Garcia Marcos Roberto Vieira
Published: October 2019

O artigo almejou investigar as especificidades das mulheres no processo de desinstitucionalização na cidade de Sorocaba/SP, considerando como as questões de gênero se articulam com a loucura. Buscou compreender, também, como as mulheres que atualmente residem nos Serviços Residências Terapêuticos (SRTs) vivenciam sua independência diante das marcas da institucionalização, levando em consideração todo o silenciamento histórico vivenciado, o que se soma ao estigma da loucura atribuído a elas. Os resultados demonstraram dispositivos de controle da sexualidade e da feminilidade no manicômio e, também, fora dele, que levam à infantilização e à tutela das moradoras. Ressalta-se, a partir disso, a necessidade de interseccionar a discussão da saúde mental com as questões de gênero, classe e raça

Authors: Bernuz María José , García Inda Andrés
Published: October 2019

Restorative justice has become a conflict-solving philosophy with a global vocation, involving the parties and aiming for the accountability of the aggressor and reparation for the victims. Among the tools to implement it in the criminal judicial scope, the most extended is mediation, especially in Europe. However, there are many resistances to its implementation, both from the profession and from the institutions, and even from the people. In order to take a deeper look into these resistances, and to clarify the challenges that public policies are facing, this paper presents the findings of a socio-legal research carried out in 2019 about restorative justice and criminal mediation within the judiciary in the Autonomous Community of Aragon (Spain).

Abstract

Effective learning is important for an education and is the first step towards student development. Education demands that must be undertaken will be the triggering factors of the problems faced by students and academic problems related to learning stress and will ultimately affect student motivation. When there is a mismatch between demands and the ability to deal with it can cause problems such as stress, and stress learning is a problem that often occurs in the educational environment. Hypnotherapy is a therapy that can overcome learning stress, increase learning motivation, improve bad habits and can also strengthen memory. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hypnotherapy on learning stress in increasing student motivation. This type of research uses a quasi-experimental design with one group pre-post-test test. The sample used in the study amounted to 35 people and the sampling technique used consecutive sampling. Research data collection using the SLSI instrument and learning motivation instruments, as well as data analysis used using the dependent t-test. From the results of the statistical test of the dependent t-test between before and after the intervention on learning stress we found a significant difference (t=17,198, p=0,000) and on learning motivation (t=10,345, p=0,000), it can be concluded that effective hypnotherapy reduce learning stress and increase student motivation. The use of hypnotherapy can help the achievement of effective learning and maximize the potential for better learning for students and suggest its use in the educational environment.

INSTITUTIONAL CONDITIONALITY OF THE ENDOGENIZATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Heyets Valeriy
Published: October 2019

At the end of the XXth century, in the countries of the former socialist camp, the capitalist reforms of the fundamental content of the principles of ensuring the right to liberty were carried out, including the economic one, that was realized in accordance with the existence and protection of the rights for a private property. This choice was made because there was a fundamental desire to overcome the dependence on the leadership of the political sovereign, which, in fact, ensured the receipt of «rents» through the implementation of a centralized management system on a planning and distribution basis, restraining the desire to gain freedom by providing opportunities for self-realization. In place of the ideology of the political «sovereign», the new ways of human activity coordination had to come, based on the principles of the ideology of liberalism. At the initial stages of reforms, the problems of institutionalization of activity of both the state and business, remained out of attention, since freedom was «above all».Capitalism, that develops without control and restrictions, is guided by a single criterion - by the private interest of the strongest and remains hostile to any form of public interest of the majority. At the same time, the development of the social institutions requires the formation of an institutional space for the implementation of the civic initiatives and the protection of freedoms from the manifestations of power and the weakly controlled monopoly organized business in the limitation of the civic activity. For this reason, in the process of development of society, the state should establish the long-term social mechanisms not only to consolidate the new spirit of capitalization and further economic growth, but also development through the social mechanisms of the social space that will not break, but will stabilize the society on the basis of the social values.

The increasing number of divorce cases from year to year at Pati Religious Court indicates an increase in the quantity and quality of wife's dissatisfaction with their marriages, especially their husbands, who do not associate them well, do not carry out their duties and obligations properly, and husbands who act harshly towards his wife, so that there were cases of domestic violence. The courage of the wife to file a divorce which is the focus of this research is to be further investigated whether there is an understanding of gender equality that influences his decision. This research is a field research (field research), this research is descriptive analytic, namely an investigation that tells, analyzes and classifies data qualitatively. The source of primary data is data obtained from interviews with judges who decided on divorce cases in PA Kab Pati, and women who divorced. Data collection uses the method of documentation and interviews. In the interview, a sampling method is used, namely a purposive sampling system. Here, the author does not interview all existing judges and informants (divorce actors), but rather chooses judges and divorced informants who can represent several categories according to the research design and are representative to be used as data sources. In the process of finding data to maintain its validity, triangulation is carried out, namely checking the degree of trust in information both in terms of technique, source and time. Data are analyzed qualitatively using inductive and interpretative analysis instruments. This inductive and interpretative way of thinking is used in order to build a conception of interpretation regarding the high divorce proposed by women in PA Pati and its causal factors. The results of this study that gender understanding for informants who filed for divorce in Pati Regency PA was shown from their awareness of their rights in marriage. This can be seen from their responses to understand the concept of marriage, gender roles in the family and domestic violence. So that their rights must be fought because they do not want to dissolve in painful household shackles. Thus the understanding of gender influences the high divorce in Pati Regency. The factors causing divorce in the District of Religion Religious Court in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 in August were due to one leaving the party and no responsibility at the same time being the highest cause. The cause of the moral crisis was ranked second, then economic factors, jealousy, constant quarrels and disputes, domestic violence, and the presence of parents who forced their children to marry. This is in line with the factors that caused informants to file for divorce.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are keenly categorized by multiform mobile affinity and dynamically altering network earth space. Wireless ad hoc multipart is a gathering of infra-structure less mobile nodes making a short-term network devoid of any centralized organization. The various ad hoc routing protocols have been recommended and fulfilled, which include Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV1), NMDC1 (Node Mobility and Density Classifier 1) and Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA 1). Though, simulation work has been done extensively to estimate the performance of these routing protocols, a new performance assessment is mandatory. Hence, in this paper, we perform the all-embracing simulations using Network Simulator - 2 considering the node density, node delay throughput and static scenario. Further, we evaluated the show variances to parallel the above-declared regularly used conventions. To find the consequence of web size on the performance of these protocols, we chose a scenario specifically 10 and 70 nodes, with rectangular area sizes 1500 • 2000m2. Results revealed that for specific differentials, TORA reveals enhanced performance over the two protocols, that is, NMDC and AODV. Therefore, our results are expected to enhance performance of several ad hoc networks in the future.

Inside the paper, an analysis of the representation of a zone-based multipath routing technology called Zone-Based Leader Election Energy Constrained AOMDV Routing Protocol (ZBLE) for MANETs has been presented. The primary purpose of the MANETs is to make system communication effective and efficient so that the quality of the network can be ensured. Consumption of energy in the MANETs has extended been a larger problem since the past. Movable devices present into the wireless environment are dependent on batteries and cannot fulfill the power supply due to limited power capacity. To address this problem, we have used zone-based technology which is designed by modifying the AOMDV protocol. Inside here, the demonstration about a zone-based system for the wireless network has been analyzed which is called Zone-Based Leader Election Energy Constrained AOMDV Routing Protocol (ZBLE). It has been implemented for energy efficient communication based on energy label, node tracking, and power analysis. It is a zone-based technology that works in keeping with the energy of multipath routing in mind. ZBLE protocols prolong the network's life by reducing balanced energy consumption between nodes. This protocol is compared to the traditional route protocol i.e. AODV and AOMDV, in which it has been found that the ZBLE protocol presents better results.

In recent investigations, it has been found that ZSM5 like catalysts were preferred nor the NOx reduction in the lean burn operating engines. The present experiment is focused on the spark ignition engine emission reduction using metal doped Cu-ZSM5 and Ce.Cu-ZSM zeolite based catalyst. Copper and cerium site was found very much active for the fast reduction of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. The engine used for the testing is a twin-cylinder petrol fuelled engine coupled with an eddy current dynamometer. The emissions from the engine were measured by AVL DI-gas analyzer. Initially, the emission reading was measured from the commercial catalytic converter that was fitted near to the exhaust and then the emissions were measured from using the Cu-ZSM5 and Ce.Cu-ZSM5 zeolite based catalytic converters. The results indicate that the zeolite based catalysts reduces the exhaust emission more than that of the commercial catalytic convertor.

SOA is widely accepted for designing the projects because it provides flexible and extensible architecture to solve the business problem effectively. In fact, SOA attracts the consumer because of its important features like reusability, modularity, composability, encapsulation and interoperability but security is always a concern for this architecture. Security implementation at a granular level for service-oriented architecture is an important concern. Service-oriented architecture is based on the distributed architecture wherein different services are the part of the different domain which is used to create an application. This causes security issue when services are composed for the creation of an application. Current security implementation at SOA based projects don’t provide security at lower levels, however higher level is secured. Proposed Model enhances the security and reliability at lower levels of SOA using latest security techniques which also helps in maintaining the SLA after the security implementation.

Isolated singular Vivaldi antennas have been in vogue for multi octave band communications and EW applications. For shared aperture EW applications phased array antennas are being used extensively. For such applications the spacing between array elements is required to be less than 0.576λ for scanning to ±45° to reduce grating and side lobes, where the wavelength (λ) at the highest frequency. Single antennas covering 6 to 18GHz when inserted in an array perform differently due to mutual coupling effects. In this paper, the single isolated antenna is taken as a reference antenna and inserted in the array and parametric studies have been carried out to arrive at an optimum solution for maximizing VSWR and pattern bandwidth in a five element array environment. A S11 of less than -7.5 dB over 5.3-18 GHz has been obtained in array environment. Satisfactory scanning of ±40°over 5.3 to 17.5 GHz is obtained for an 8 element linear array and results are presented.

Today, digital communication has become an integral part of everyday life. Many applications are based on the Internet and communications must be made in secret. This is especially important when confidential information needs to be exchanged. As a result, the security of information transmitted over public channels is a fundamental problem, and as a result, the confidentiality and integrity of the data is essential to protect against unauthorized access and use. This caused the information concealment area to become unstable. Encryption and steganography are two of the most common methods you can use to ensure safety. With encryption, the data is converted to another form of gibberish and the encrypted data is transmitted. In Steganography, the image is transferred to the image, which is embedded in the image without affecting the quality of the image.This article suggests a new way to embed data into images and edit data using common virtual built-in technologies.

Masonry is widely used type of construction in the world. But these walls are built with no seismic loading requirements and they are not capable of dissipating energy through inelastic deformation during earthquake. Recent earthquakes have shown that many such buildings are seismically vulnerable and should be considered for retrofitting. To prove the efficiency of retrofitting of masonry structures, this thesis deals with an Experimental programme to ascertain the compressive and shear strength enhancement of masonry wall panels using steel strips and polypropylene fibre. The study includes six wall panels, three each for compressive and shear strength evaluation. In each of three walls, one wall is unreinforced masonry wall, the second is reinforced on both sides with diagonal steel strips and the third is reinforced with closely spaced polypropylene mesh. Separate testing arrangements we made for compressive and shear strength tests. During compressive testing only vertical load is applied and for shear strength determination, lateral load with vertical pre-compression is applied. During the test, observations we recorded covering all important parameters like ultimate compressive load, shear strength, deflection due to compressive and lateral loads and behaviour of steel strips under vertical and horizontal loading. Load carrying mechanisms are observed, varying from the initial, uncracked state, to the final, fully cracked state. The results demonstrate that a significant increase in compressive and shear strength can be achieved by anchoring strips and polypropylene fibre to the surface of masonry wall.

This modern society expects sophisticated modern health care services to enhance the healthy living conditions. The world’s ageing population and prevalence of chronic diseases has lead to high demand for medical data monitoring. The modern technology is supporting in all the way to realize the sophisticated health services. Specialized doctors are generally very rare and they may be geographically far away from needy patient. Without the support of technology, they cannot provide health services from remote places. In most of the cases, patients are immovable to doctor’s place due to their critical health conditions. But, the technology is a coming to help in such situations in a great way. The modern technology is helping in providing health services remotely with same quality as a local doctor can provide. The key concept behind this technology is collecting health data with highest possible accuracy and sharing it with remotely present health specialists. The wearable devices can collect body data most accurately and can send data to cloud for sharing it with remotely present health specialists. But, we know, sharing medical information is very critical and challenging issue because medical information contains patient’s important and highly confidential information. On the other hand, medical ethics says that doctors cannot share patient’s health records with others without the consent of patient. Such data will be shared between only authentic persons in cloud. The chain of processing mainly includes data collection, data storage, and data sharing. In this work a protected cloudlet based medical data sharing is proposed. In this paper, three major issues pertaining to medical data sharing are addressed. Firstly, a method for secured medical data sharing using cloudlet is proposed. During data collection, Number Theory Research Unit (NTRU) method used to encrypt user’s body data collected by wearable devices, then transmitted to nearby cloudlet. Secondly, a new trust model to help users to select trustable partners for sharing stored data in the cloudlet is presented. This model is to help similar patients to communicate with each other. Thirdly, a novel collaborative intrusion detection system (IDS) method based on cloudlet mesh is proposed, which can effectively prevent the remote healthcare big data cloud from attacks. Finally, an analysis of security to the information is presented and the results are quite encouraging.

Cement manufacturing industries which emits about 7% of CO2 to the environment causing pollution. So, in order to avoid pollution problems there is a need to find an alternative binding material. Wastes like agricultural or industrial in the form of ash can be utilized as a substitute for cement. In this research work, Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag(GGBS) and Sugarcane Bagasse ash(SCBA) is used as a complete replacement to cement so as to form Geopolymer concrete(GPC). Two different SCBA sources which has high amount of silica content is considered for the partial replacement of GGBS in varying percentages like 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% to determine mechanical and microstructure properties. A 5M alkaline solutions of Sodium hydroxide and Sodium silicate is used. In this work, mechanical properties of GGBS-SCBA based GPC which includes compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and microstructure properties of SCBA samples by X-ray Fluorescence(XRF), Energy Dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), X-ray Diffractometer(XRD), Scanning Electronic Microscope(SEM) techniques are determined and analyzed on different GPC mix proportions.

Generally, higher order diffraction coefficient is used for the consideration of multiple diffraction. Due to this, the calculation becomes complex as well as not consider all possible order of diffraction among the wedges. In this paper, frequency and time-domain multiple-order diffraction for double wedge has been proposed. Only, single-order diffraction coefficient is used for higher-order diffraction calculation. So the proposed method is very simple and considers all possible order of diffraction. Both the IFFT-FD solution and proposed TD solution has been compared to confirm the accuracy.

This paper presents the output voltage estimation of bipolar junction transistor (BJT) common emitter (CE) using iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF). For this, state space model has been derived using Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) and Ebers-Moll model of the transistor. The performance of IEKF has been compared with extended Kalman filter (EKF). The simulation results show large signal to noise ratio (SNR) and small root mean square error (RMSE) using IEKF as compared to EKF, as IEKF considers the error due to linearization. The advantage of the proposed method is that the derived extended state space equation can be used for parameter estimation of both, the transistor state and transistor parameters as the derivation includes transistor model.
