Correio da Semana: Um jornal centenário (1918-2018)
Authors: Pereira dos Santos Carlos Augusto , Melo Francisco Dênis
Published: September 2021

As nossas cidades, a cidade que amamos, que construímos e reconstruímos, que inventamos sensivelmente, que exageramos em suas belezas ou suas faltas, se movem muito rapidamente, quase não alcançamos sua velocidade, e sua vertiginosa existência nos afiança que sua face polifônica é surreal, quebradiça. Mas o que dizer de nossa cidade e suas diferenças? O que dizer de nossa cidade e suas estranhezas? O que dizer de uma cidade que insiste em se fazer músculo e força, a comprimir o nosso peito com a lágrima da saudade e o estalar dolorido de um abraço quando ausentes? Massimo Canevacci nos adverte que “compreender uma cidade significa colher fragmentos. E lançar entre eles estranhas pontes, por intermédio das quais seja possível encontrar uma pluralidade de significados. Ou de encruzilhadas herméticas”2. Ferreira Gullar, de certo modo, em seu Poema Sujo, nos fala também de uma cidade estilhaçada, uma cidade de mil espelhos partidos à procura de um rosto que já não é mais o mesmo. Uma cidade-fragmento. Uma cidade plural porque toda cidade é composta de muitas outras cidades reais, outras possíveis, e tantas outras imaginárias e sedutoras.
Non-criminal murders
Authors: Lassalle Martina
Published: September 2021

This article seeks to examine the use of the figure of self-defence in the practices of the Buenos Aires criminal justice system. As we will show with the analysis of some paradigmatic cases, through the use of this exceptional figure, this criminal justice system produces certain murders as non-criminal acts to, paradoxically, safeguard individual life as a hegemonic value. Moreover, we will observe that the use of this legal figure reveals that killings to protect private property may not have a criminal character either. This in turn suggests that private property is also a hegemonic value for this criminal justice system, and that the allegedly supremacy of individual life over private property in its value scale should be at least questioned.
The persistence of the security paradigm in the regulation of entry requirements in the Chilean immigration law
Authors: Feddersen Martínez Mayra
Published: September 2021

This research aims to explore the regulation of entry requirements in all the immigration laws of Chile (1918, 1959, 1975) and in their reform projects (1993, 2013, 2017 and 2019). The analysis shows a continuity in how this institution has been conceived over time, in particular in regard to its security dimension. The article stresses that despite the explicit incorporation of rights in favor of migrants in the reforms promoted from 2008 to the present, the understanding of entry requirements has not changed substantially, which highlights the maintenance of the security paradigm in this institution by an entire centennial.

Household green finances: demand in focus
Authors: Bethlendi András
Published: September 2021

Based on a retail questionnaire survey conducted in the framework of the BME-MNB cooperation we aimed to answer to the following main research questions: 1) how the households’ environmental and financial knowledge and attitudes are related to the demand for green financial products, 2) how significant (price) support shall be used to channel Hungarian consumers towards more sustainable financial products. In addition, we aimed to explore the households’ green and financial knowledge and attitudes. During the study, aggregate indices and indicators were created to study the main issues, which formed the basis of the analysis. The Hungarian population generally has a positive attitude towards environmental protection. Respondents tend to underestimate their green knowledge and their financial knowledge prudence. Education and financial literacy are also the most important in terms of financial and green knowledge and attitudes. Concerning personal green attitude, it can be said that the pragmatism provided by the financial possibilities is decisive in everyday life. Demand for financial products is most affected by pricing, green and financial knowledge indices, and age (demography). Based on the results, only a significant price subsidy could steer domestic consumers towards more sustainable financial products.
Hogyan csinálják? : Központi szerződő felek és klíringházak letétszámítási módszereinek összehasonlítása
Authors: Friesz Melinda , Váradi Kata
Published: September 2021

A klíringházak és a központi szerződő felek a pénzügyi piacok egyik fontos pillérévé váltak, megkönnyítették ugyanis az értékpapírral és a származtatott ügyletekkel való kereskedést a tőzsdéken és a tőzsdén kívüli piacokon azáltal, hogy a vevő és az eladó közé beléptek harmadik félként. Az irodalomban és a gyakorlatban is a klíringház és a központi szerződő fél fogalmát szinonimaként használják, de van különbség a két fogalom között. A tanulmány ezen intézmények alapbiztosíték-számítási módszertanára összpontosít, és hangsúlyozza a kettő között fellelhető eltéréseket. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy bár ugyanazt a kockázatot ragadja meg a két infrastruktúra számítási módja, a klíringházak alapbiztosíték-követelménye a prociklikusság és a cash flow kezelése szempontjából jobban teljesít, azonban a központi szerződő fél módszertana prudenciális szempontból erősebbnek bizonyul.

CHANGES IN MARI NUMERAL PHRASES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MARI-RUSSIAN LANGUAGE CONTACTS
Authors: Sibatrova Serafima Sergeevna
Published: September 2021

This article presents the results of a study of the Mari numeral phrases in terms of the influence of the Russian language. The aim of this work is to trace the role of Russian borrowings in the formation of Mari numeral phrases, primarily in the expression of their components, and to reveal other changes that have arisen under the influence of similar phrases and structures of the Russian language. The study was conducted on the basis of the lexical card index of the MarNIIYALI (Mari Scientific Research Institute of Language, Literature and History), which is based on written sources of the meadow-eastern literary norm, namely, its electronic part in the amount of about one thousand author's sheets. During the collection and analysis of material, elements and techniques of the following research methods were applied: descriptive and analytical (observation with the identification of the studied facts in sources, their generalization, interpretation and classification, description), comparative (regular comparison of Mari models with Russian ones for identity and non-identity), comparative-historical (in other cases, indications of the origin of the words), quantitative (counting models of various groups containing Russianisms). According to the results of the research, Russian borrowings may play a role of a head word (3 units in 4 models) and a dependent component (mainly substantive case forms and postpositional constructions, numerals, as well as some pronouns and adverbs of degree in 14 models). 3 models with cardinal numbers as a head very rarely can be represented by phrases with Russianisms in both components. As a result the syntactic units in some models and the models of numeral phrases themselves were replenished, the last ones by 3 units. Also the shifts in the forms of grammatical number of dependent nouns in some models appeared.

Published: September 2021

Objectives to improve the quality of hearing aids (HA) selection for patients with sensorineural hearing loss using a comparative free sound field speech audiometry according to our modified method "Delta Test".
Material and methods. The study involved 56 patients aged from 18 to 62 years with bilateral chronic sensorineural hearing loss of 2-4 degrees. The study group included 32 patients, a test for speech recognition in a free sound field (speech audiometry) was conducted using the method proposed by us. The control group consisted of 24 patients who were aided without the use of comparative speech audiometry.
The "Delta Test" included the use of audio files sets containing a speech material in pure form and mixed with speech noise with different signal-to-noise ratios, supplied through a speaker system connected to a personal computer. The percentage of correctly repeated words was measured without HA and with several HA having different settings. The effectiveness of using HA was defined as the difference in the percentage of speech recognition when using HA in relation to the "ear without HA".
Results. According to "The International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids" the average score was 4.13 0.10 in the group where the HA were selected using the "Delta Test", which is statistically significantly higher than in the control group, where the average score was 3.720.15(p 0.05). "Delta Test" allows optimally select the HA parameters. This method is easy to perform and does not require expensive equipment.

A field experiment was conducted from September 2019 to January 2020 (thaladi season) at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru College of Agriculture and Research Institute, Karaikal, Puducherry to study the effect of cultivars and weed management practices on productivity, profitability and energetics of dry direct-seeded rice (DDSR). The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design (SPD) with 15 treatment combinations and replicated thrice. Cultivars (ADT 46, CO 52 and improved white ponni) were assigned to main plots and 5 weed management practices viz. application of pendimethalin @ 1 kg a.i ha-1 as pre-emergence (PE); bispyribac-sodium @ 0.02 kg a.i ha-1 as post-emergence (POE) at 20 DAS; pendimethalin @ 1 kg a.i ha-1 followed by (fb) bispyribac-sodium @ 0.02 kg a.i ha-1; hand weeding (HW) twice at 20 and 40 DAS and weedy check were assigned to sub-plots. Results have shown that cultivars 'ADT 46' was the most promising cultivar for DDSR situation since it recorded the highest grain yield (3.76 t ha-1), energy use efficiency (4.43), energy productivity (0.3 kg MJ-1), net returns (Rs. 43.74 × 103 ha-1) and benefit: cost ratio (1.52). Among the weed management practices, sequential application of pendimethalin fb bispyribac-sodium found superior over other treatments in terms of grain yield (3.73 t ha-1), energy use efficiency (4.35), energy productivity (0.3 kg MJ-1), net returns (Rs. 42.27× 103 ha-1) and benefit: cost ratio (1.43). Thus, cultivation of 'ADT 46' integrated with sequential application of pendimethalin fb bispyribac-sodium could be recommended for DDSR under coastal deltaic ecosystem of south India.

Published: September 2021

Understanding the relationship between soil properties and grain yield and yield related traits is an important objective in crop production programme. The purpose of this study was to evaluate maintenance of soil health in terms of soil chemical properties in relation to rice yield using multivariate analytical methods. Canonical correlation analysis is one of the most popular multivariate analysis techniques to estimate dependent relationship between soil properties with grain yield and yield attributing characters .In this study, five canonical correlation coefficients ( CCCs) were estimated and the first three of them were significant( R1: 1, R2: 0.99 and R3: 0.84, p<0.001).The findings obtained from the CCA indicate that available N, available Cu and Zn in soil and N content in grain had the largest contribution for the explanatory capacity of canonical variables estimated from grain yield, straw yield, number of panicles/m2 and filled grains / panicle.

Published: September 2021

Wet direct seeding is proved as a viable alternate to conventional transplanting method of rice. Maintenance of optimum population by adopting an appropriate sowing method followed by judicious weed control practices ensures profitability of wet direct seeded rice (W-DSR). A field experiment was carried out to find out a suitable sowing technique and weed control options for enhancing productivity and economics of W-DSR. The W-DSR was infested with twelve numbers of weed species comprising of eight families under different sowing methods. The composition of sedges, broadleaved (BLW) and grassy weeds was 83.07, 11.0 and 5.93%, respectively. Irrespective of sowing methods, weeds such as, Echinochloa glabrescens and Leptochloa chinensis among grasses, Cyperus difformis and Scirpus juncoides among sedges and Lindernia anagallis among BLW were dominant. Drum seeding recorded 6.9 and 12.7% higher gross and net return, respectively than broadcasting, but it was at par with spot seeding. Highest B: C ratio of 2.07 was recorded with drum seeding, whereas spot seeding recorded lowest B: C ratio (1.99). Crop-weed competition caused 31.7% reduction in grain yield with W-DSR. Application of early post-emergent herbicide bensulfuron-methyl + pretilachlor @ 60+600 g/ha at 10 DAS, azimsulfuron @ 35 g/ha at 20 DAS, and bispyribac sodium @ 30 g/ha at 20 DAS recorded increase in grain yield 40.3, 40.1 and 39.8%, respectively over the weedy check. Ready mix bensulfuron-methyl + pretilachlor @ 60+600 g/ha at 10 DAS registered highest B: C ratio (2.16) but it did not vary significantly with bispyribac sodium @ 30 g/ha and azimsulfuron @ 35 g/ha.

An experiment was conducted on 30 farmer's rice varieties collected from different districts of Madhya Pradesh to identify the genetic components contributing to phenophasic development, physiological, yield attributes and biochemical traits. Principal component analysis was performed to rank the farmer's varieties based on PC scores acquired as per the trait studied. Out of twenty-six traits, only five principal components (PCs) exhibited more than 1.00 Eigen value and showed 85.80% of total cumulative variability. The PC1 showed 58.55%, while PC 2, PC 3, PC 4 and PC 5, exhibited 10.29%, 7.03%, 5.23% and 4.69% variability, respectively. The PC 1 reported the highest variability, which was associated with physiological and yield related traits. The PC 2 was dominated by biochemical traits, while PC3 was mostly dominated for yield traits. The PC 4 was dominated by physiological traits, and PC5 for phenological and yield-related traits. Farmer's variety Pandu was superior for Chlorophyll content index (38.27), total dry matter production (38.15 g plant-1), Leaf area index (4.09), Leaf area duration (17982 cm2 days) and crop growth rate (0.00282 g m-2 day-1). PCA revealed that genotype Pandu (7.224) acquired highest PC score followed by Raibua (5.364), Bahurupi (5.103) and Chinnor 1 (4.750) respectively. Farmers varieties Pandu, Chhindikapoor, Bahurupi, Sitha Chandan, Chinnor 2, Chinnor 1 and ChhotaSathiya were contributed their presence in maximum PCs of this investigation. The identified lines will be utilized in the rice breeding programme to develop improved rice varieties for high yield and maximum physiological efficiency.

Multiple applications of cloud servicing can be seen in the field of logical programming as well as IT industries. Complex computations over local machines may demand for plenty of system resources thereby delaying the data processing operations. In order to achieve speed in processing one must opt for cloud computing techniques. Extensive maneuver of cloud services is desirable for scientific computation of user data and application. This will require a platform designed in a way to meet the specific requirements of individual users, providing an ease for moving their data and applications over different devices. Symbolic-Numeric Computation using cloud service platform is presented in the paper. In this approach user tasks are presented in the form of symbolic expressions using languages like Java, C/C++, APIs etc. Proposed work employs Python programming for carrying out compilation process.

COMPARISON OF MISOPROSTOLAND DINOPROSTONE FOR ELECTIVE INDUCTION OF LABOUR IN NULLIPAROUS WOMEN AT FULL TERM: A RANDOMIZED PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Authors: Swati Swati , Kumari Rakhi , Sharan Minu
Published: September 2021

Background: The objective of this randomized prospective study was to compare the efcacy of 50 mcg vaginal misoprostol and 3 mg
dinoprostone, administered every nine hours for a maximum of three doses, for elective induction of labor in nulliparous women with an
unfavorable cervix and more than 40 weeks of gestation. Material And Methods: One hundred and sixty-three pregnant women with more than
285 days of gestation were recruited and analyzed. The main outcome measures were time from induction to delivery and incidence of vaginal
delivery within 12 and 24 hours. Admission rate to the neonatal intensive care unit within 24 hours post delivery was a secondary outcome. Results:
The induction-delivery interval was signicantly lower in the misoprostol group than in the dinoprostone group (11.9 h vs. 15.5 h, p < 0.001). With
misoprostol, more women delivered within 12 hours (57.5% vs. 32.5%, p < 0.01) and 24 hours (98.7% vs. 91.4%, p < 0.05), spontaneous rupture of
the membranes occurred more frequently (38.8% vs. 20.5%, p < 0.05), there was less need for oxytocin augmentation (65.8% vs. 81.5%, p < 0.05)
and fewer additional doses were required (7.5% vs. 22%, p < 0.05). Although not statistically signicant, a lower Caesarean section (CS) rate was
observed with misoprostol (7.5% vs. 13.3%, p > 0.05) but with the disadvantage of higher abnormal fetal heart rate (FHR) tracings (22.5% vs. 12%,
p > 0.05). From the misoprostol group more neonates were admitted to the intensive neonatal unit, than from the dinoprostone group (13.5% vs.
4.8%, p > 0.05). One woman had an unexplained stillbirth following the administration of one dose of dinoprostone. Conclusions: Vaginal
misoprostol, compared with dinoprostone in the regimens used, is more effective in elective inductions of labor beyond 40 weeks of gestation.
Nevertheless, this is at the expense of more abnormal FHR tracings and more admissions to the neonatal unit, indicating that the faster approach is
not necessarily the better approach to childbirth

Authors: M. Badariya , B. Madhavan , Najeeb C.H. Afreen , Surendran Pooja
Published: September 2021

Objectives: Association of high frequency hearing loss/minor damage in peripheral auditory system in continuous
chronic tinnitus with normal PTA is well established.The purpose of the study was to verify whether this finding is true for
intermittent unilateral or bilateral tinnitus patients with normal PTA using EHF audiometry and conventional DPOAEs.
Materials and method:This study was conducted on 45 normal hearing adults between the age ranges of 18-30 years.
Among them 30 adults comprised of study group with intermittent tinnitus which varies in laterality.Tinnitus evaluation
was done on these population followed by THI administration. DPOAE and EHF audiometry was completed on all
subjects after conventional hearing assessment program.
Result and Discussion:Kruskal Wallis H test & Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare OAE amplitude & EHF
thresholds.Spearman's correlation was used to evaluate the correlation between DPOAE amplitude with EHF threshold.
Reduced hearing sensitivity in the extended high frequency region may be early predictor of outer hair cell dysfunction
in the most basal area.Findings of this study suggest that intermittent tinnitus may also lead to subtle lesion at the basal
region of cochlea which would result in a significant hearing loss with continuous tinnitus in future.
Conclusion:Intermittent tinnitus may increase the fragility of peripheral auditory system which may lead to permanent
lesions and would be evident as elevated thresholds in conventional PTA.

Published: September 2021

Although the skills required to solve isolated robotics problems are reaching amazing performances recently, we propose the evaluation of such individual solutions in fully integrated robot systems tested in real daily situations like those presented at international robotics competitions. The simulation Domestic Standard Platform League (sDSPL), which utilizes the HSR simulator developed for the World Robot Summit, surges from the necessity to standardise and spread the research on Domestic Service Robots where a series of solutions can be tested to solve a general-purpose task in a standard domestic environment; this approach has been proven successful at several international competitions, namely, the RoboCup Japan Open, the Mexican Tournament of Robotics, and the RoboCup 2021.

Authors: Venkata Phanikrishna B , Pławiak Paweł , Jaya Prakash Allam
Published: September 2021

Electro Encephalo Gram (EEG) is a monitoring method used in biomedical and computer science to understand brain activity. Therefore, the analysis and classification of these signals play a prominent role in estimating a person’s behavior to certain events. Manually analyzing these signals is very tedious and time-consuming, so an automated scientific tool is required to analyze the brain signals. In this work, the authors are explored various pre-processing segmentation techniques that are helpful in an automatic machine and deep learning-based classification methods available for EEG signal processing. Most of the machine and deep learning methods are followed pre-processing as a common step in classification. Extraction of the basic sub-band components from EEG signals such as delta (δ), theta (θ), alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ) is very important in the pre-processing stage. These sub bands of EEG signal have extraordinary evidence related to multiple neurophysiological processes, which are useful for further prediction & diagnosis of diseases and other emotion-based applications. This review paper elaborates various elementary ideas of extracting EEG sub-bands and the role of EEG in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) in the classification.

ЗАХОДИ ПІДТРИМКИ ВІДНОВЛЮВАНОЇ ЕНЕРГЕТИКИ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Хілько В.А.
Published: September 2021

Мета статті – визначення заходів зі сприяння розвитку відновлюваної енергетики в Україні. Надано послідовність створення пільгових ставок тарифів на електроенергію ВДЕ відповідно до законодавства України. Необхідно прийняти до уваги, що Закон України «Про альтернативні джерела енергії» є базовим механізмом підтримки системи «зелених» тарифів. Держава зобов’язується викуповувати всю вироблену за проєктами ВДЕ електроенергію за фіксованим тарифом, яка в Україні до того ж прив’язана до євро. Отже, інвестор у відновлюваній енергетиці може побудувати надійну фінансову модель проєкту й бути впевненим у поверненні своїх інвестицій упродовж тривалого строку діяльності. В статті обґрунтовано впровадження системи «зелених» аукціонів як державної схеми підтримки проєктів ВДЕ замість донедавніх «зелених» тарифів. Аукціони дозволяють залучати приватні інвестиції (вітчизняні та іноземні) за допомогою чітких та прозорих процесів. Визначено функції державного підприємства для виконання гарантованої закупівлі електроенергії з ВДЕ згідно з ринковими умовами в Україні. Надано основні організаційні переваги участі інвесторів у системі «зелених» аукціонів. Напрямком прийнятого у 2020 році Закону України N 810-IX є зменшення ставок «зелених» тарифів, що ставить під загрозу перехід країни до сталого розвитку та виконання нею своїх міжнародних зобов’язань. Дія зазначеного Закону призводить до відтермінування будівництва за багатьма новими проєктами. Незважаючи на це, системи «зелених» тарифів та «зелених» аукціонів залишаються в країні основною формою державної підтримки відновлюваної енергетики. Наразі, за результатами державної підтримки, встановлена потужність об’єктів генерації на відновлюваних джерелах енергії становить близько 8700 МВт. Ними за квітень 2021 року вироблено 1020 млн кВт-г електроенергії, що складає 8,3 % обсягу споживання електроенергії в Україні. В українській енергосистемі вже зафіксовані випадки, коли за добу з відновлюваних джерел (включно із великими ГЕС) було вироблено більше електричної енергії, ніж усіма тепловими електростанціями і теплоелектроцентралями України разом узятими.
