Authors: Pouragha Behrooz , Keshtkar Mahnaz , Adolahi mahdieh , Sheikhbardsiri Hojjat
Published: January 2020

Introduction Organization survival is dependent on communications and managers spend a main portion of their time to establish communications. The identification, improvement and development of communication skills serve as the essential components of successful organizations. The present study aimed to investigate the role of communication skills in human resource productivity in north Iran.Method The study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted in six deputies supervised by the Alborz University of Medical Sciences, in 2019. The statistical population included all 302 employees were selected as the sample population according to Cochran's formula. Using two researcher-made questionnaires of communication skills and human resource productivity, we assessed the role of communication skills in human resource productivity. Data were analyzed by implementing descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation (SD), and analytical statistics such as Kolmogorov‐Smirnov, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, T-test and multivariate regression tests using SPSS 21 and P ≤ 0.05.Results According to research findings, there were significant relationships between communication skills including verbal skills, listening skills and effectiveness skills with human resource productivity P ≤ 0.05. There was a significant relationship between age group, gender, level of education and travel home-university distance with communication skills and resource productivity of employees P ≤ 0.05.Conclusion This study examines the role of communication skills in the promotion of human resource productivity who work in the administrative section of the University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Findings suggest that health planners and authorities may need to examine factors that contribute to the promotion of the communication skills for increase human resource productivity of employees and improved performance of health organizations.

Background Borax, a boron compound, which is becoming widely recognized for its biological effects, including antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity, and potential therapeutic benefits. However, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying borax-induced anti-tumor effect still remain to be to further elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may play key roles in cellular processes including tumor progression, cell apoptosis and cytotoxicity. Thus, this study aimed to investigate, whether miRNAs were involved in the borax-mediated anti-tumor effect using miRNA profiling of a human liver cancer cell line (HepG2) using gene-chip analysis.Methods Total RNA was extracted and purified from HepG2 cells that were treated with 4 mM borax for either 2 or 24 h. The samples underwent microarray analysis using an Agilent Human miRNA Array. Differentially expressed miRNAs were analysed by volcano plot and heatmap, and were validated using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR).ResultsAmong this, 2- or 24-h exposure to borax significantly altered the expression level of miRNAs in HepG2 cells, 4 or 14 were upregulated and 3 were downregulated compared with the control group, respectively (≥2-fold; P<0.05). GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs in HepG2 cells predominantly participated in MAPK signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, etc; in 2-h borax treatment group, while Ras signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, Cellular senescence, etc; involved in 24-h treatment group.Conclusions Result indicates that borax-induced anti-tumor effect may be associated with alterations in miRNAs.

RECURRENT RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN CHILDREN: CAUSES, MODERN DIAGNOSTICS, EFFECTIVE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF RECURRENCE
Authors: VELIKORETSKAYA M. D.
Published: January 2020

Children are at risk of recurrent respiratory infections compared to other age groups. Recurrence of respiratory infections can lead to the formation of chronic foci of inflammation, persistence of viruses, disruption of physical and psychomotor development. That often leads to inappropriate prescription of antibiotics for the treatment of ARI and the formation of antibiotic resistance, sensitization and failure to prevent complications. The situation demands searching for alternative strategies for the treatment of recurrent ARIs. The limiting factor in the use of vaccines is the presence of hundreds of different viral serotypes, thus making it impossible to create a vaccine against each individual pathogen. Therefore, the crucial role in the prevention of recurrent ARI belongs to bacterial lysates which improve nonspecific immunity

Acute intestinal infections of viral etiology are among the most common groups of infectious diseases in childhood. The wide prevalence, instable immunity, high incidence of mixed infections result in a sustainably high incidence rate; this, in combination with a significant proportion of moderate to severe forms, is a heavy burden for the national health care. The article provides key data on the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical pattern and treatment of the group of diseases
Addressing Sexual Acting Out Behaviors with Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum
Authors: Clionsky Leah N. , N’Zi Amanda M.
Published: January 2020

Adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have similar sexual desires
and relationship needs to their neuro-typical peers. However, they may be more likely to
demonstrate problematic sexual behaviors as they mature, due to lack of education about
sexuality, vulnerability to sexual abuse, deficits in social communication and understanding,
restricted and repetitive interests and behaviors, and sensory interests. Treatment for sexual
acting out behaviors in adolescents with ASD has not been explored and current recommendations
focus on prevention through sexual education, which provides little guidance to clinicians
working with adolescents who are already displaying sexual acting out behaviors.
Adapting treatments for problematic sexual behaviors in neuro-typical children and adolescents
may be the first step, although adaptation is complicated by developmental abilities
that may not match an adolescent’s chronological age. A thorough developmental and sexual
assessment is the first step to designing an appropriate treatment plan. Further research
should focus on adapting and applying current treatments for sexual acting out by the ASD
population.
La revue Verve (1937–60): Un tremplin pour la carrière de Tériade dans les éditions d’art/The Review Verve (1937–60) : A Springboard for Tériade's Career as Art Editor
Authors: Sfakianaki Poppy
Published: January 2020

Tériade (1897–1983) fonda la revue Verve ainsi que la maison d’édition d’art homonyme en même temps à Paris en 1937. Cet article montre que le journal a servi à Tériade de tremplin dans sa carrière dans l’édition artistique. D’une part, Verve était un outil de médiation pour publier des livres d’artistes et des livres illustrés ainsi que pour promouvoir le travail d’artistes modernes de renom, un choix parfaitement en accord avec la politique française officielle de l’après-seconde guerre mondiale, qui entendait incorporer l’art moderne dans le patrimoine culturel français. D’autre part, cela a permis à Tériade de prouver que la tradition de l’imprimerie et de l’iconographie pouvait continuer à prospérer sous une forme contemporaine et qu’elle pouvait accroître la valeur artistique et commerciale des livres d’artistes et des livres illustrés. De plus, discuter les relations entre la revue de Tériade et ses autres publications révèle un jeu complexe d’interdépendances et d’échanges de capital olique et relationnel entre les différents acteurs du monde de l’art.

Tériade (1897–1983) launched at the same time the art journal Verve as well as the homonymous art publishing house in Paris in 1937. This article shows that the journal served as a springboard for Tériade’s career in art publishing. On the one hand, Verve was a mediating tool for publishing artists’ books and illustrated books as well as for promoting the work of renowned modern artists, a choice fully compatible with the post-World War II official French policy of incorporating modern art into French cultural heritage. On the other hand, it allowed Tériade to prove that printing and the iconographic tradition could continue to thrive in a contemporary form, that this could increase the artistic and commercial value of both artists’ books and illustrated books. Moreover, discussing the relationship between Tériade’s journal and his other publications reveals a complex interplay of interdependencies and exchanges of economic, symbolic and relational capital between the various actors of the art world.
La littérature, entre livre et périodique (19e–21e siècles)/Literature between Books and Periodicals (19th–21st Centuries)
Authors: Vaillant Alain
Published: January 2020

Il est habituellement entendu que la littérature est destinée à la publication en livre, qui seule confèrerait à l’auteur sa vraie légitimité. Or cette vision traditionnelle fausse la réalité historique: non seulement une masse écrasante de textes ‘littéraires’ est publiée exclusivement dans les périodiques, mais, dans le cas spécifique de la France, la presse reste pendant la plus grande part du 19e siècle le mode privilégié de publication. Même si, dans les premières décennies du 20e siècle, les relations vont se rééquilibrer entre le périodique et le non-périodique, cette hégémonie provisoire du périodique dans la communication littéraire joue un rôle déterminant dans l’émergence de ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler la ‘modernité’: au point qu’on peut soutenir, malgré l’idée reçue, que la littérature est alors devenue, à son corps défendant, un phénomène médiatique. C’est donc une réinterprétation globale de l’histoire littéraire, considérée par le prisme des modes de publication, qui est ici esquissée, aussi bien du point de vue de ses fondements théoriques que, plus concrètement, de sa périodisation pour les 19e–21e siècles.
***
It is usually understood that literary publication is intended for books, which alone would confer on the author true legitimacy. However this traditional view distorts historical reality: not only an overwhelming mass of ‘literary’ texts is published exclusively in periodicals, but also, in the specific case of France, the press remains for most of the nineteenth century the privileged mode of publication. Even though, in the first decades of the twentieth century, relations will have found a new balance between periodical and the non-periodical forms, the provisional hegemony of the periodical in literary communication plays a decisive part in the emergence of what is conventionally known as ‘modernity’: to the point that it may be argued, despite the common misconception, that literature has become, against its own will, a media phenomenon. Thus, it is a global reinterpretation of literary history that is sketched here, seen through the prism of publication modes, both from the point of view of its theoretical foundations and, more concretely, of its periodization for the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries.
Le Jeudi de la revue libanaise Shi‘r (1957–70): Un canal de médiologie du projet moderniste de Yûsuf al-Khâl (1917–87)/The Thursdays of the Lebanese Review Sh'ir (1957–70): a Mediology Channel for Yûsuf al-Khâl's Modernist Project
Authors: Badini Dounia
Published: January 2020

Shi‘r (Poésie) a été fondée à Beyrouth en 1957 par Yûsuf al-Khâl (1917–87) qui l’entendait comme la première revue arabe entièrement consacrée à la poésie, avec un credo: la liberté comme condition préalable à l’épanouissement personnel et donc à l’établissement d’une société moderne. Pendant plus d’une décennie (1957–64 et 1967–70), Shi‘r fut un espace d’innovation et de circulation de poèmes inédits, d’études critiques et de traductions au plus près de la production contemporaine, et d’essais théoriques promouvant le modernisme naissant. Associée à la trépidante Beyrouth des années 1950–60, Shi‘r fut au centre d’un écosystème culturel qu’elle contribua à enrichir et à dynamiser grâce à ses jeudis, le prix Shi‘r, la maison d’édition Shi‘r, le magazine Adab et la galerie d’art Gallery One. Les séances du jeudi constituèrent pendant plus de sept ans (1957–64) un espace de réception ouvert aux poèmes inédits (lus, commentés, promus). La plateforme médiatique offerte aux jeudis par al-Nahar, parmi d’autres journaux libanais, permit au mouvement Shi‘r de clarifier davantage son message révolutionnaire et ses orientations modernistes, et de se défendre contre les attaques répétées d’intellectuels panarabes vigoureusement attachés aux conventions hérité oétique arabe. Cet article met en évidence ces aspects médiatiques.

Shi‘r (Poetry) was founded in Beirut in 1957 by Yûsuf al-Khâl (1917–87) who intended it to become the first Arabic review entirely devoted to poetry, albeit with a credo: freedom as a prerequisite to self-fulfilment and thereby the establishment of a modern society. For more than a decade (1957–64, and 1967–70), Shi‘r was a space of innovation and circulation for unpublished poems, critical reviews, and translations closely following contemporary production, and theoretical essays furthering the nascent modernism. Associated with the bustling Beirut of the 1950s and 1960s, Shi‘r was at the centre of a cultural ecosystem it contributed to enrich and dynamize thanks to its Thursday sessions, Shi‘r’s Prize, the publishing house Shi‘r, the review Adab and the art gallery Gallery One. Its Thursdays constituted for more than seven years (1957–64) a space of reception for unpublished poems (read, commented, promoted). The media platform offered to the Thursday sessions by al-Nahar, among other Lebanese newspapers, allowed the Shi‘r movement to both further clarify its revolutionary message, its modernist orientations, and defend itself against the repeated attacks of pan-Arab intellectuals strenuously attached to inherite poetic tradition. This article highlights these media aspects.
The Participatory Zeitgeist in Health Care: It is Time for a Science of Participation
Authors: Palmer Victoria Jane
Published: January 2020

Participation in health care is currently the zeitgeist/spirit of our times. A myriad of practices characterizes this “participatory Zeitgeist” in contemporary health care, which range from patients and professionals collaborating as partners in service delivery and treatment decision-making, to crowdsourced cures and participation in online communities, to using health apps, to involvement in health care quality improvement initiatives for systems redesign using coproduction and co-design methods. To date, patient engagement and participation in online communities and the use of apps have received a good deal of attention in participatory medicine. However, there has been a less critical examination of participation in health care planning, design, delivery, and improvement. In the face of what Thomas Kuhn called a scientific revolution, we are presented with the opportunity to re-examine some of the assumptions underpinning participation in health care and some of the emerging anomalies and weaknesses in the current science. This re-examination will allow the development of a new paradigm, a science of participation. In this science, we can systematically test, refine, and advance participation in health care to build a unifying language and theories from across the interdisciplinary fields of participatory design, medicine, and research to develop and test models to explain impacts and outcomes. A science of participation will allow the emergent and unexplained facts to be addressed in the current participatory mood of health care planning, design, delivery, and improvement.
CHEMICAL MODIFICATIONS OF ALGINATE AND ITS DERIVATIVES
Authors: NATARAJ DIVYA , REDDY NARENDRA
Published: January 2020

Alginate is a polysaccharide obtained from seaweeds that are abundantly available and have shown great potential for diverse industrial applications. However, alginate lacks properties such as stability under aqueous conditions and it is difficult to control the rate of degradation of alginate-based materials, crucial for various medical applications. Therefore, researchers have modified alginate using physical or chemical approaches to enhance physical properties, biocompatibility, solubility and also to control the biodegradability of alginate-based materials. Crosslinking using ionic, covalent, photo and enzymatic approaches are one of the preferred methods for modifying the properties of alginates and its derivatives. Crosslinking binds the individual polymer chains with one another to form a network that enhances mechanical properties and stability. Among the different crosslinking approaches, ionic crosslinking provides biomaterials with limited stability whereas biomaterials with high mechanical stability can be prepared by covalent crosslinking. Although a wide variety of crosslinking chemicals and approaches are available to make alginate suitable for various applications, the methods used, properties and applications of the cross-linked materials vary significantly between studies. There are very few reports that have compared and evaluated the benefits of using different crosslinking approaches and the properties and applications of cross-linked alginate. In this review, the various methods of crosslinking alginates, their advantages, and limitations have been reviewed with particular emphasis on medical applications of alginate. The data for writing the review was obtained using search engines like Google scholar, Sci-hub and Sci finder and the keywords used include alginate, crosslinking, ionic, covalent, photo, enzymatic, biomedical applications.
La alometría, una ley de potencias ubicua en la estructura de los seres vivos
Authors: Sánchez Garduño Faustino , Gutiérrez Sánchez José Luis
Published: January 2020

La alometría es el estudio de la variación de las dimensiones anatómicas y fisiológicas en los seres vivos en tanto se correlacionan; esto permite aproximarse a la comprensión de los organismos como un todo y no como la suma de sus partes. A partir del modelo dinámico del principio de alometría, en este trabajo se presenta la controversia sobre el escalamiento de la tasa metabólica respecto a la masa corporal (entre las leyes de Rubner y de Kleiber), se plantea una nueva argumentación para resolverla en términos de la estructura autosemejante de las redes de transporte e intercambio de material y se reflexiona sobre cómo el entramado alométrico provee un argumento en favor de la evolución biológica mediante cambios múltiples en toda la arquitectura de los organismos y no por la acumulación de pequeños cambios en este o aquel órgano.
Visibilizado a las víctimas: entre el paradigma seguritista y el paradigma de los derechos humanos
Authors: Loeza Reyes Laura
Published: January 2020

La política de “combate al crimen organizado” en México se ha sustentado en la violencia de Estado desencadenando diferentes formas de violencia social. El objetivo de este artículo consiste en analizar la manera como las organizaciones civiles defensoras de los derechos humanos visibilizan a las víctimas de ambos tipos de violencia. Con el fin de dar cuenta de los mecanismos y los procesos políticos que subyacen a la metanarrativa de dicha política, analizo comparativamente los discursos que la sustentan con el discurso de las organizaciones civiles defensoras de los derechos humanos. El análisis se centra en las claves de interpretación de ambos discursos, a saber: las categorías seguridad, violencia y víctima, y la manera como dan sentido a las acciones de ambos tipos de actores, los gubernamentales y las organizaciones.
Criterios para definir el carácter interdisciplinario de diseños curriculares universitarios
Authors: Villa Soto Juan Carlos , Mendoza Rosas Rosa María
Published: January 2020

El propósito de este trabajo es conocer los criterios clave que le confieren un carácter interdisciplinario a las carreras universitarias diseñadas con este enfoque. En primer lugar, se revisaron los principios de integración de conocimientos de dos programas de educación superior creados en México durante el proceso de innovación curricular promovido en la década de los setenta del siglo pasado. Posteriormente, se examinó la noción de currículum interdisciplinario con base en una concepción integral de currículum y se propuso, a la luz de dicha revisión, incluir una dimensión relativa a los dominios disciplinarios comprendidos en los planes de estudio y los modos en que se integran los conocimientos de dichos dominios. A partir de esta dimensión —que denominamos onto-epistemológica, en tanto definida por los objetos de estudio de dominios disciplinarios, híbridos o complejos—, se examina, a manera de ejemplo, el carácter interdisciplinario de la licenciatura en ciencias ambientales de la Escuela Nacional de Estudios Superiores de Morelia de la UNAM.
Lagos como sensores de cambio climático: el caso de La Alberca de Tacámbaro, Michoacán, México
Authors: Caballero Margarita , Vázquez Gabriela
Published: January 2020

Los lagos están entre los ecosistemas más sensibles al cambio climático, ya que el comportamiento termodinámico de su columna de agua es controlado por la marcha anual de la temperatura. Los lagos tropicales profundos presentan una columna de agua estratificada durante los meses más cálidos, sin embargo, en invierno esos estratos desaparecen al mezclarse la columna de agua. El patrón de mezcla de un lago se puede alterar cuando se presenta un incremento en la temperatura, ya sea debido al calentamiento global y/o durante el fenómeno meteorológico conocido como “El Niño”. El objetivo de este trabajo fue correlacionar cambios en el clima con los del lago La Alberca de Tacámbaro, Michoacán, México, durante un período que involucra dos eventos de “El Niño” (2009-2010 y 2015-2016) y con variaciones en las asociaciones de diatomeas preservadas en los sedimentos entre 1988 a 2015. El lago presentó un patrón de mezcla en invierno, con una termoclina somera en primavera que se profundiza en el otoño. Los datos muestran una tendencia que se refleja en la limitación de dos nutrientes, fósforo y nitrógeno (P y N), asociada con una menor mezcla vertical causada por años más calientes desde el 2000 y el efecto de los años en los que se presenta el fenómeno “El Niño”. Estos cambios correlacionan con un calentamiento del hipolimnion en 2015 comparado con 2009 y con alteraciones en la diversidad y composición de las diatomeas entre 1988 a 2015. Este estudio permitió documentar los cambios recientes del lago y asociarlos con el impacto del calentamiento global y los eventos de “El Niño”.

Comparative Study of Various Pharmacological Screening of Argyreia Speciosa Sweet. In Relation with Ayurvedic Documented Literature
Authors: Unadkat K P , Jani D K , Pandey R C
Published: January 2020

Vruddhadaru is one of the important herbs in Ayurveda. It has been used in Ayurvedic traditional literature for various diseases and improves the health. It is also used as folklore medicine. Out of its entire therapeutic spectrum, the herb is famous for its wound healing activity for longer time. The Latin name of Vruddhadaru is Argyreia speciosa(Syn.-Argyreia nervosa; Family-Convolvulaceae).Argyreia speciosa is commonly known as Vruddhadaru in Sanskrit, Vidhara in Hindi, Elephant creeper in English and Samudrashosha in Gujarati. It has many synonyms like Aavegi, Chhagalantri, Vrushyagandhika etc.  It has been described in Dhanvantari Nighantu, Madanpala Nighantu, Kaiyadeva Nighantu, Raj Nighantu, Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, Nighantu Adarsh etc. This shows the importance of the drug. It is usually appreciated for its aesthetic merit. Therapeutically proven activities of this plant are – analgesic & anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-convulsant, anti-diarrheal, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, antipyretic, anti-stress, anti-ulcer, anti-viral, aphrodisiac, CNS effect, hepatoprotective, hypoglycaemic, immunomodulatory, nootropic, wound healing activity etc. It is very interesting to observe that most of the pharmacological screened activities are documented in Ayurveda by various authors but in the language of Ayurveda. It shows that the former scientists (Ayurveda Philosophers) are extreme aware about the activity of the herb and was in practice as an Ayurveda medicine. The conventional evidences about the activity are the proof that there must be a scientific technique with the traditional healers to document the properties of the herb. The present review explains the correlation of the same activity noted by two different streams. This review helps to design futuristic pathway for pharmacological testing of herbs.

Studi kolonisasi semut hitam (Dolichoderus sp.) pada perkebunan kakao, merupakan salah satu bagian dari peran sumberdaya hayati dalam pengendalian hama. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui preferensi Dolichoderus sp.terhadap pakan dari embun madu dan madu lebah, untuk menjadi daya tarik dalam membentuk koloni pada sarang buatan. Pengamatan dilakukan pada bulan April-Mei 2015. Penelitian dilakukan pada 20 pohon kakao yang dipilih secara acak tanpa memperhatikan usia pohon kakao dan varietasnya tidak ditentukan.Dua perlakuan yang berbeda diberikan pada sarang buatan, kedua perlakuan yang digunakan adalah sarang buatan dengan pemberian madu dari lebah dan sarang yang ditempatkan pada buah yang terdapat kutu putih. Parameter pengamatan meliputi terbentuknya koloni semut pada sarang buatan, kehadiran ratu pada koloni baru dan preferensi semut terhadap pakan. Semut hitam melakukan migrasi dengan lambat yang dilihat dari waktu yang dibutuhkan ratu untuk migrasi yaitu pada minggu ketiga pengamatan. Pakan dari embun madu yang digunakan tidak efektif dalam membuat semut hitam membentuk koloni pada sarang buatan, dilihat dari jumlah kehadiran semut pekerja dan semut ratu pada sarang buatan. Pakan madu dari lebah menarik kehadiran semut hitam pekerja lebih banyak dari embun madu dari kutu putih, karena aroma madu yang menyebar cepat dan kandungan gula pada madu yang tinggi

Published: January 2020

The distribution and habitat preference of freshwater shrimps Caridina ensifera Schenkel, 1902 on two inlets of Lake Poso, Central Sulawesi have been studied. Freshwater shrimps samples was collected in two streams, namely the Pomua Palandu Stream and Toinasa Stream. The sampling station on each streams is divided into three locations based on the distance of the stream flow from its mouth at Lake Poso. Sampling is done by purposive sampling method using the tray net tool. The obtained samples were preserved using 96% alcohol and than identification was carried out at the Laboratory of Animal Biosystematic and evolution, Department of Biology, Tadulako University. The results showed that Caridina ensifera was only distributed in the lower reaches of the Pomua Palandu Stream and Toinasa Stream, having habitat preferences between plant roots that dangled into the water with rocky sand and sand substrates and very slow current speeds. According to von Rintelen and Cai (2009) Caridina ensifera is distributed in Lake Poso.

Human Development Index (HDI) is an important issue in designing  and strategizing of sustainable development. Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) is a regression approach that produces models with continous character on knots. MARS models are determined based on trial and error for a combination of basis function (BF), maximum interaction (MI), and minimum observation (MO). The determination of knots is based on the minimum Generalized Cross Validation (GCV) value. The results of this study are the combination value of BF = 52, MI = 3, and MO = 2 with a minimum GCV of 0,00049. The factors that influence HDI are average school length (X2) per capita expenditure (X4), life expactancy (X3), persentage of poor woman aged 15-49 who use the birth control tool (X5).
Editorial: Scholarly communications and corporate governance research
Authors: Kostyuk Alexander
Published: January 2020

The role of scholarly conferences as a method of scholarly communications cannot be overestimated. Thus, Torgler and Piatti (2013) found that in 1974, only 19 per cent of papers published in American Economic Review had been presented at one or more conferences, workshops or seminars, for critical commentary prior to publication. On average, the number of presentations was 0.24 per paper. Twenty-five years later, 73 percent of the papers accepted for publication have been previously presented, and the mean number of pre-publication presentations was 4.73. Personal editorial and reviewing experience give a right to conclude that papers previously presented at the conferences have more serious scholarly content, solid empirical fundamentals and relevance.

Introducción. El propósito de esta investigación es analizar el riesgo crediticio de una institución financiera no vigilada por la Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia en torno a un modelo scoring que permita determinar el incumplimiento de los clientes correspondiente a su cartera de consumo. Objetivo. Confrontar el poder de pronosticación de dos modelos scoring obtenidos a través de regresión logística y red neuronal. Materiales y métodos. Los modelos se desarrollan con base en una muestra de 43.086 obligaciones correspondiente a una cartera de consumo, utilizando las técnicas estadísticas de regresión logística y red neuronal. La primera está enmarcada en el grupo de los modelos lineales generalizados, los cuales utilizan una función logit y son útiles para modelar probabilidades referentes a un evento en función de otras variables, mientras que la segunda son modelos computacionales cuyo objetivo es resolver problemas utilizando relaciones ya estipuladas y para ello utiliza una muestra base del proceso que se ampara en el éxito del autoaprendizaje producto del entrenamiento. Resultados. Para ambos modelos se logra una precisión del 71% en la base de entrenamiento y del 72 % en la base de comprobación, sin embargo, a pesar de obtener resultados similares, la regresión logística arrojó la menor tasa de malos en la zona de aceptación. Conclusión. Las dos técnicas utilizadas son adecuadas para el estudio y predicción de la probabilidad de incumplimiento de un cliente correspondiente a una cartera de consumo, lo anterior, respaldado por el alto índice de eficacia predictiva en ambos modelos.
The grammar of syntactic coreference
Authors: Alanovic Milivoj
Published: January 2020

Since the notions of semantic and syntactic coreference, in the conceptual,
terminological and theoretical sense, have long been known to the linguistic
public, we consider it appropriate and worthwhile to point out the ways in
which this type of connection between the grammatical units in the sentence
is materialized. We especially wanted to draw attention to the inherent
mechanisms of language which directly signal that the two forms, not
necessarily different, are connected with the same meaning, and related to
the same semantic role, for which it is directly responsible - the same
propositional function they have. Although it may seem that the difference
between semantic and syntactic coreference is not so significant, it has been
revealed that in the latter case, the syntactic relations are the main
language means of expressing propositional functions and corresponding
semantic roles. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to highlight the
syntagmatic mechanisms of language, with the help of which the structural,
informative and informative hierarchy of the sentence members is carried out.
The purpose of such hierarchization is not so much to streamline or rethink
the structure of the sentence, but rather to ensure the integration of
complex content on the one hand, and settle the situational significance of
individual participants on the other hand.
New nomina personalia of the initial abbreviations
Authors: Georgieva Tsvetelina
Published: January 2020

The article examines the Bulgarian neologisms nomina personalia from the first decade of the 21st century that were formed of the initial abbreviations
(for example abeveec, idilec, etc.), proving that the productive basis is
not the grapheme combination (ABV, IDIL), but the so-called lexoid (for
example [abeve], [idil]). On the grounds of the word formation and morpheme
analysis that was performed in advance, the nouns that are directly
motivated by the lexoids are organized in wordformation nests, as each
derivative is related to its particular and summarizing scheme.

Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use may lead to behavioral modifications in food selection and physical activity, but there are limited data on the utility of CGM in facilitating lifestyle changes. This article describes an 18-item survey developed to explore whether patients currently using CGM believe the technology has caused them to change their behavior.
Analyzing the Environmental Effects of Conventional and Condensing Combi Boilers Using Natural Gas
Authors: VARİYENLİ Halil İbrahim , KHANLARI Ataollah
Published: January 2020

Generally, space heating and hot water providing are
done by combi boilers. Different types of combi boilers are available. In the
recent years condensing combi boilers have been introduced that have high
energy efficiency in comparison with conventional types. In the condensing type
combi boilers, an additional heat exchanger is utilized to recover energy form
flue gas. In this study the effects of combi boiler type on pollutant gas
emissions have been experimentally analyzed. In this regard three different
combi boiler including conventional, condensing and full condensing type combi
boilers have been selected in the experiments. In addition, the experiments
have been done in different temperatures to investigate the temperature effect.
The obtained results showed that in all temperatures using condensing and full
condensing combi boilers reduced CO2, NO and NOx gas
emissions considerably. Also, by analyzing combi boilers emissions in different
working temperatures, it can be said that in low temperatures CO2
emission reduction in condensing combi is higher than its reduction in high
temperatures in comparison with conventional one.
Multikulturalisme dalam Karya Ulama Nusantara
Authors: Khobir Abdul , Jaeni Muhamad , Basith Abdul
Published: January 2020

This study discusses form and dimensions of a text regarding multiculturalism concept in the ulama books of the 20th century, how the text was produced and consumed by the community, and the sociocultural praxis contained in it. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive method and content analysis. The results of this study show that multiculturalism discourses written by Indonesian Ulama include: appreciation of Javanese language locality, gender equality, respect for the diversity of local economic potentials, the importance of national unity and counter to the negative stigma of Indonesian archipelago. At the level of text, multiculturalism discourses are written in the form of nadham and natsar (prose), and the language variety â€‹â€‹used is Arabic pegon script. In the case of social praxis, multicultural values â€‹â€‹are divided into two, namely social and religious discourse. The social discourse discusses social problems, equality, the importance of respecting differences as well as loving the motherland, while the religious discourse describes some problems developed in the society. In this case, the religious proposition is used as a basis for strengthening as well as elaborating the muticulturalism values.
Polarización salarial y ocupacional en México: 2005-2017
Authors: García Ramírez Gonzalo , García Ramírez Gabriela
Published: January 2020

Se analiza el fenómeno de la polarización salarial y ocupacional en el mercado de trabajo mexicano durante el período 2005-2017, a partir de una división del mercado de trabajo en empleo formal e informal, así como de género. A través de una descomposición por nivel de destrezas se sugiere que existe un proceso de polarización incipiente en el mercado formal y un proceso canónico de polarización en el mercado informal. Del mismo modo, los índices DER corroboran un incremento de la polarización salarial y ocupacional en el período. Asimismo, por medio de una descomposición por elementos se observa que la segmentación del mercado laboral, la debilidad sindical, el tamaño de los establecimientos y la discriminación laboral son unas de las principales causas de la polarización salarial y ocupacional en México.
PERIZINAN DAN PERJANJIAN DALAM PERUSAHAAN OUTSOURCING
Authors: Budiwati Septarina
Published: January 2020

Outsourcing memiliki tujuan strategis dan tujuan berjangka panjang. Tujuan strategis dari suatu outsourcing, yaitu bahwa outsourcing digunakan oleh perusahaan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan keunggulan kompetitif perusahaan agar dapat mempertahankan hidup dan berkembang. Terdapat dua jenis perusahaan outsourcing yaitu Perusahaan Pemborong Pekerjaan dan perusahaan penyedia jasa, permohonan perizinan dapat di terbitkan dalam waktu paling lama 30 hari kerja sejak permohonan diterima. Izin operasional diberikan dalam jangka waktu 5 tahun dan dapat diperpanjang, pendaftaran perjanjian outsourcing dilakukan di Direktorat Jendral Pembinaan Hubungan Industrial Kementrian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi. Muncul persoalan kemudian ketika perusahaan penyedia jasa pekerja/buruh melakukan pemberian pekerjaan diluar negeri, hal ini belum ada pengaturannya sehingga ada kekosongan hukum. Pendaftaran perjanjian pekerja outsourcing harus melampirkan draf perjanjian kerja antara perusahaan penyedia jasa dan pekerja/buruh, jika perusahaan penyedia jasa tidak mendaftarkan perjanjian, maka instansi yang bertanggungjawab dibidang ketenagakerjaan dapat mencabut izin operasional.

Published: January 2020

The aim of WEQUAL project (WEb service centre for QUALity multidimensional design and tele-operated monitoring of Green Infrastructures) is the development of a system that is able to support a quick environmental monitoring of riparian areas subjected to the realization of new green infrastructures (GI). The Wequal’s idea is to organize a service center able to manage both the Web Platform and the whole data collection and analysis processes. Through a personal account, the final user (designer, technician, researcher) can get access to the service and requires the evaluation of alternatives GI projects. On the Web Platform, a set of algorithms runs in order to calculate, through automatic procedures, all the ecological criteria required to evaluate a quality environmental index that describes the eco-morphological value of the monitored riparian areas. For this aim, the WEQUI index was developed, which uses 15 indicators that are easy to monitor. In this paper, the approach for environmental data collection and the procedures to perform the automatic assessment of two of the ecological criteria are described. For the computation, the implemented algorithms use data including the vegetation indexes, Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Digital Surface Model (DSM) and a 3D point cloud classification. All the raw data are collected by UAVs (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle) equipped with a 3D Lidar, multispectral camera and RGB camera. Interpreting all the raw data collected by these sensors, using a multi-attribute approach, the WEQUI index is assessed. The computed ecological index is then used to assess the riparian environmental quality at ex-ante and ex-post river stabilization works. This index, integrated with additional not-technical or not-ecological indicators such as investment required, maintenance costs or social acceptance, can be used in multicriteria analyses in order to evaluate the intervention from a wider point of view. The platform is expected to be attractive for GI designers and policy makers by providing a shared environment, which is able to integrate the method of detection and evaluation of complex indexes and a multidimensional evaluation supported by an expert guide.
