Augusto y “lo Augusteo” en la Arqueología española. Una revisión historiográfica durante los siglos XIX y XX
Authors: Beltrán Fortes José
Published: November 2017

Resumen: El análisis de las actividades y publicaciones de contenido anticuario/ arqueológico durante los siglos XIX y XX realizadas en España lleva a la conclusión de que no hay un tratamiento especial de la figura de Augusto en el marco de la arqueología española. Ello a pesar de que la Hispania romana se estructuró en el periodo augusteo para un largo periodo de siglos, pero la historiografía española destaca otros períodos o personajes, como los de César o Trajano, por ejemplo. Más bien hay que hablar de “lo augusteo”, y esperar a momentos relativamente avanzados de la arqueología española, en concreto desde el último cuarto del siglo XX, para advertir un mayor interés por el período del principado, en el marco del desarrollo de la arqueología clásica en España y bajo la influencia de procesos foráneos.Palabras clave: Augusto, Arqueología augustea, Hispania, Historiografía arqueológica.Abstract: An analysis of Spanish archaeological and antiquary activities and publications during the 19th and 20th centuries leads to the conclusion that no special treatment was given to the public figure of Augustus by Spanish archaeology. Despite the fact that the Roman Hispania was organized in the Augustan period and lasted many centuries, Spanish historiography emphasises other periods and public personalities, such as Caesar and Trajan. Instead discussion was of the Augustan period, and not until the last quarter of the 20th century was there greater interest for the period of the Principate, in relation with the development of classical archaeology in Spain and under the influence of outside processes.Key words: Augustus, Augustan Archaeology, Hispania, Archaeological Historiography.
Entre el sexo y el espanto. Augusto y la literatura, o una Historia no Académica del primer emperador de Roma
Authors: García Jurado Francisco
Published: November 2017

Resumen: El propósito de este trabajo es poner las bases de lo que sería una “Historia no académica” (HnA) de la figura de Octavio Augusto en la literatura y el ensayo modernos, básicamente a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, a partir de tres parámetros esenciales:a) No estamos ante una Historia programática, sino ante algo que acontece espontáneamente en diversas manifestaciones literarias.b) Nos encontramos ante indagaciones personales, más propias de una elaborada hermenéutica que de una investigación factual sobre las “fuentes”.c) Se trata de una Historia que se articula mediante “tensiones”, como pueden ser la regeneración frente a la decadencia, o el espanto frente a la felicidad. Por lo demás, el personaje literario del emperador está sujeto a tensiones con respecto a diversas figuras históricas, como pueden ser otros emperadores, los poetas de su época, o la propia figura de Cristo.De esta forma, y de acuerdo con lo expuesto, las recreaciones más importantes de la figura de Augusto y su labor política aparecerán en relación con otros personajes, como es el caso de Virgilio. Para ilustrar mínimamente el proyecto de esta “Historia no académica” recurriré a tres autores significativos que pertenecen a momentos bien distintos: el pensador anarquista Pierre Joseph Proudhon, el novelista Hermann Broch y el ensayista Pascal Quignard.Palabras clave: Octavio Augusto, Historia no Académica.Abstract: The aim of this study is to lay the foundations of what would be a “Non-Academic History” (NAH) of the figure of Octavius Augustus in modern literature and essay, essentially since the second half of the 19th century, according to three essential parameters:a) The NAH is not a programmatic History, but something that happens spontaneously in diverse literary manifestations.b) We are faced with personal inquiries, more typical of elaborate hermeneutics than a factual investigation based on “sources”.c) The NAH is articulated through “tensions”, such as regeneration in the face of decadence, or fear in the face of happiness. Moreover, the literary character of the emperor is subject to tensions with respect to various historical figures, such as other emperors, contemporary poets and the figure of Christ himself.In this way, and according to the above, the most important recreations of the figure of Augustus and his political work will appear in relation to other characters, as is the case of Virgilius. To illustrate this “Non-Academic History”, I will draw on three significant authors who belong to quite different times: the anarchist thinker Pierre Joseph Proudhon, the novelist Hermann Broch and the essayist Pascal Quignard.Key words: Octavius Augustus, Non-Academic History.
Los estudios sobre códices diplomáticos hispánicos. Confluencias historiográficas, metodológicas y sistémicas durante los ss. XVIII-XX
Authors: Sánchez Díez Alicia
Published: November 2017

Resumen: Las dificultades metodológicas en los estudios sobre códices diplomáticos hispánicos, en su mayoría derivadas de la ausencia de grandes tratados sistémicos, comienzan levemente a solventarse, en estos últimos años, en buena parte debido al desarrollo de estudios comparativos avanzados y sistemas metodológicos multidisciplinares asistidos por herramientas tecnológicas, los cuales permiten diversificar los enfoques historiográficos tradicionales. A continuación se expone un análisis de las confluencias y divergencias, un examen de la evolución y mejoras en las metodologías aplicadas a los trabajos sobre este objeto de estudio a lo largo de los últimos tres siglos, demostrando su influencia y efecto, no siempre positivos, en las disertaciones actuales.Palabras clave: Códices diplomáticos, cartularios, metodología, Sistemática, cultura escrita, siglos XVIII, XIX y XX.Abstract: The methodological difficulties of research into Hispanic diplomatic codices, mostly arising from the lack of major systemic treatises, have begun to be resolved to a limited extent in recent years. This is largely due to advanced comparative studies and multidisciplinary methodological systems supported by technological tools, which both allow the diversification of traditional historiographic approaches. This paper sets out an analysis of the confluences and divergences, an examination of developments and improvements in the methodologies used to work on this subject of study over the last three centuries, showing both the influence and effect, not always positive, in current dissertations.Key words: Diplomatic codices, cartularies, methodology, Systematic, science of writing and written objects, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

Published: November 2017

Moisture and thermal are the key factors for influencing methane desorption during CBM exploitation. Using high pressure water injection technology into coalbed, new fractures and pathways are formed to methane transport. It is existed a phenomenon of water inhibiting gas flow. This study is focused on various water pressures impacted on gas adsorbed coal samples, then the desorption capacity could be revealed under different conditions. And the results are shown that methane desorption capacity was decreased with water pressure increased at room temperature and the downtrend would be steady until water pressure was large enough. Heating could promote gas desorption capacity effectively, with the increasing of water injection pressures, the promotion of thermal on desorption became more obvious. There are the others effects on methane desorption capacity influenced by water injection and thermal.

Published: November 2017

Increased grain yield and improved processing and nutritional quality are important factors in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Six wheat cultivars with different‐colored grains (white, red, and purple) were used to investigate the effect of combined N (N1: 90 kg N ha−1; N2: 240 kg N ha−1) and P fertilizer (P1: 60 kg P2O5 ha−1; P2: 209 kg P2O5 ha−1) on yield, dough rheological properties, grain Fe and Zn content, and phenolic acid content in two sowing years. Fertilization, cultivar, and its interactions all had a significant effect on most of the tested parameters. Both purple cultivars had a higher average protein content (14.46 and 14.13%), total insoluble phenolic acid content (840.24 and 778.46 μg g−1) and antioxidant activity (16.16 and 13.94 μmol FeSO4 g−1) than the red and white cultivars. Meanwhile, the two red cultivars had the highest total soluble phenolic acid content. High N application increased grain yield, protein content, dough rheological properties, grain Fe and Zn, and accumulative contents. Highest insoluble ferulic acid and total insoluble phenolic acid contents were observed under high P (N1P2 or N2P2) treatment, whereas the highest total soluble phenolic acid contents were observed under low‐N treatment. High combined N and P fertilizer application also resulted in higher antioxidant activity. Wheat cultivars with a medium to strong dough strength would benefit from N2P2 treatment in terms of yield, processing quality, and nutritional quality. This is especially true for purple cultivars, which have a high nutritional quality. In contrast, soft gluten cultivars would benefit from N1P2 treatment.

Authors: Liu Quan , Zhu Bo , Tang Jialiang , Huang Wenjun , Zhang Xifeng
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

Generation of overland flow from 6.5 (control) and 10° lagged 30 min behind rainfall peaks, whereas the other slope gradients investigated synchronized with rainfall peaks.

Interflow comprised between 83 and 91% of total runoff.

The relationship of sediment loss flux and discharge of overland flow can be simulated by the power function and the S function.

This study investigated the hydrological processes of overland flow and interflow for slope gradients of 6.5°, 10, 15, 20, and 25° on hillslope croplands of Regosol under natural rainfall conditions. The generation of overland flow from 6.5° (control) and 10° lagged 30 min behind the rainfall peaks, whereas the other investigated slope gradients were synchronized with the rainfall peaks. Moreover, the soil moisture varied (and interflow was generated) from 25 to 35% in association with increasing slope gradients (from 6.5 to 10, 15, 20, and 25°). The times and peaks of sediment yields corresponded to the overland flow. The total storm runoff discharge averages for the 6.5°, 10, 15, 20, and 25° slope gradients were 39.9 ± 3.1, 45.1 ± 4.2, 48.7 ± 2.9, 51.8 ± 3.0, and 43.9 ± 3.6 mm, respectively, with runoff coefficients between 47 and 61%. Interflow comprised between 83 and 91% of the total runoff. Moreover, overland flow and sediment yield discharge for the 15 and 20° slope gradients exhibited significant differences (p < 0.05) from the control (6.5°) and two other gradients (10 and 25°). This study determined that the apparent critical slope gradient for overland flow and sediment yield was between 15 and 20°. Moreover, the relationship of sediment loss flux and the discharge of overland flow can be simulated by the power function and the S function. However, the results showed that slope gradients do not significantly impact interflow, which could be influenced by soil moisture prior to the occurrence of rain.

To evaluate the efficacy of Shigru in Mutrakrichhra w.s.r. to E.Coli
Authors: Kumar Anand , Dubey Vijay Shankar
Published: November 2017

All the Acharyas have described the pathogenesis of Mutrakrichha and Vasti (bladder) Rogas. Acharya Charaka has given specific pathogenesis of Mutrakrichha, that Doshas being provoked by their respective aetiological factors, individually or altogether reaches Vasti and Mutramarga and begins to compress on all sides and thus results in Mutrakrichha. The vitiated Doshas enter into Vasti, which is the place of Khavaigunya. Dosa Dushya Sammurchhana takes place and Mutradusti occurs. Dushita Mutra causes irritation and spasm of urinary tract and leads to difficulty in micturition. Sushruta in general has explained the pathogenesis of Vasti Roga and Vayu as the main causative factor. Samyak Apana Vayu helps in proper excretion of urine from Vasti and when this Vayu becomes Pratiloma (opposite) produces disorders in Vasti.

Published: November 2017

There are many formulations mentioned in Ayurvedic classics to treat various disease used as internally as well as external applications, Guggulu Kalpana is one of them. It is a very popular, safe and effective formulation for mitigation of Tridosha mainly Vatadosha. Two methods for preparation of Guggulu Kalpana areused; 1. Kuttana (pounding) and 2. Analapaka (heating). Mostly small production of Guggulu Kalpana is made by Kuttana and large production is made by Analapaka. Amidst of all Guggulu Kalpana, Triphala Guggulu is one of the most momentous and widely used in Vrana Shodhana and Vrana Ropana Karma in practice. Triphala Guggulu is indicated in Bhagandara, Gulma, Shotha, Arsha, Vatarakta, Kushtha, Pakva-vidradhi, Gandamala, Asthibhagna which is described in Sharangdhara Samhita, Yogaratnakara and Bhavaprakasha. Three batches of Triphala Guggulu were prepared with reference of Sharangdhara Samhita and follow the in house quality control parameters to standardized the medicine in large scale production by heating method. The size of Triphala Guggulu was form 10.27mm to 10.28mm in diameter, pH 5.9 to 6.2, loss on drying 0.8% to 1.6%, ash value 6.0%w/w to 7.5%w/w, acid-insoluble ash value 0.8%w/w to 1.2%w/w, alcohol-soluble extractive value 16.4%v/w to 30.2%v/w and water-soluble extractive value 32.0% to 38.0%. Phytochemical screening of Triphala Guggulu shows that Glycoside, Amino acid, Protein, Carbohydrate, Flavanoid, Tannin, Steroid, Saponin and Alkaloid were present in all batches. On the basis of this study it is clear that, if we follow the same procedure with authentic drugs then large scale production also have quality assurance.
Ayurveda and Communicable Diseases
Authors: Naikar Ashok G. , Rao Ganapathi , J. Panchal Vinayak
Published: November 2017

Indian medical heritage flows in two distinctive but mutually complimenting streams. The oral tradition being followed by millions of housewives and thousands of local health practitioners is the practical aspect of codified streams such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani. These oral traditions are head based and take care of the basic health needs of the people using immediately available local resources. Majority of these are plant based remedies, supplemented by animal and mineral products. Many of the practices followed by these local streams can be understood and evaluated by the codified stream such as Ayurveda. These streams are not static, historical scrutiny of their evolution shows the enriching phenomena at all times. Thus we have more than 7000 species of higher and lower plants and hundreds of minerals and animal product used in local health tradition to manage hundreds of disease conditions. A pertinent question that arises here is that in which basis these systems got enriched. Is it just trial error method over a point of time which gave rise to this rich tradition, is it an intuitive knowledge born out of close association with nature. One of the reasons for this attitude can be, that one is always made to believe that the science means that which can be explained by western models of logic and epistemology. The world view being developed and adopted by the dominant western scientific paradigm never fits in to the world view being followed and practiced by the indigenous traditions. This is well accepted by us due to the last 200 yrs of political and cultural domination by western and other alien forces.
A Comprehensive Analysis of Nidana for Netra Rogas as explained by different Ayurveda instigators in the specific context of Netra Shalakya
Authors: S. Harsha , V. Mamatha K. , K. Sujathamma
Published: November 2017

Ayurvedic way of diagnosis has two basic components mainly Rogapariksha and Rogipariksha. Among them Rogapariksha gives us the detailed knowledge about a disease starting from the etiological aspects to the actual manifestion of disease. The five basic components of Rogapariksha are Nidana, Purvarupa, Rupa, Samprapti and Upashaya, which are collectively known as Nidana Panchakas. Nidana, the foremost component among them not only gives the knowledge of causative factors but also helps in treatment by avoiding them. Among all the Indriyas, Netra is said to be Pradhana, thus a special care and concern should be taken to protect it. Understanding the strength of the causative factors for eye diseses will help to execute the treatment appropriately and maintain the healthy vision. Thus an attempt is made to analyse the Netra Roga Nidana in this presentation.
Anterior Uveitis and management in Ayurveda - A Case Study
Authors: T. Nithyashree C. , K. Sujathamma
Published: November 2017

Anterior uveitis is inflammation of the Uveal tissue from iris upto Pars plicata of ciliary body, which is a common cause for painful red eye. It usually affects people of 20 -50 years of age and account for 10 -15% of cases of legal blindness in developed countries. Depending on the clinical presentation it can be categorised as Iritis, Cyclitis or iridocyclitis. It is typically characterized by photophobia, pain, ciliary congestion, Blurred vision, Keratic precipitates, Aqueous flare and cells and often pooled with Auto immune diseases. If untreated, it can cause permanent visual loss and serious complications such as glaucoma, cataract, and cystoid macular oedema, Retinal detachment. Reducing the inflammation with the help of steroids, Immunosuppressant (topically, systematically) are the treatments indicated in contemporary science but these have their own side-effects and many entities are such that the recurrence rates are very high in spite of treatment or will be non-responsive. So it is coherent to adopt Ayurvedic treatment principles to resolve the ailment securely and to overcome the magnitudes of recurrence. The clinical features of Anterior Uveitis simulates to Pittaja and Raktaja Adhimanta to a greater extent and treatment modalities can be adopted based on Doshas and Samprapthi involved. In this paper, a special case report of a 51 years old male patient with Anterior Uveitis who showed marked improvement with Ayurvedic management is presented. The possible role of Ayurveda in its management and mode of action is also discussed here.

Authors: Rodriguez Kristan D. , Bartoloni Joseph A. , Hendricson William D.
Published: November 2017

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between personality preferences of incoming fourth‐year dental students at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio as measured by the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II and their third‐year clinical productivity and percentage of broken appointments. All 105 incoming fourth‐year dental students in 2016 were invited to participate in the study, and 92 students completed the temperament questionnaire, for a response rate of 87.5%. Those students’ clinical activity during their third year was measured by production points and percentage of broken appointments extracted from the electronic health record. The results showed that the majority of the respondents were extroverts rather than introverts and that the extroverts had significantly higher production points and significantly fewer broken appointments than the introverts. The most common personality preferences were sensing and judging. More than two‐thirds of the respondents represented the Guardian temperament, one of four categories on the temperament measure. These findings help highlight the traits that may contribute to success in clinical training during dental school and support the notion that clinical success may be influenced by certain personality characteristics as well as the technical and specialized skills of dentistry.
Empirical Evidence for the Outcomes of Therapeutic Video Games for Adolescents With Anxiety Disorders: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Barnes Steven , Prescott Julie
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND

Extant evidence suggests that the proportion of adolescents suffering from anxiety disorders (ADs) has increased by up to 70% since the mid-1980s, with experience of anxiety at this stage associated with significant negative short- and long-term life outcomes. The existing therapeutic interventions (eg, cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT; attention bias modification, ABM) have proven to have clinically measurable benefits in reducing anxiety, but their efficacy is often compromised by social and practical barriers. The growing discrepancy between demand for, and access to, clinical interventions for anxiety has led to the development of a range of eHealth (health care practice supported by electronic processes and communication) and mHealth (versions of eHealth using mobile devices) interventions. One such protocol is therapeutic games, which aim to provide clinical frameworks in dynamic, adaptable, and personalized virtual environments. Although some evidence exists to suggest therapeutic games are associated with reductions in subjective anxiety and observed stress reactivity, there is currently, to our knowledge, no systematic review of the adherence to, and effectiveness of, therapeutic games for adolescent anxiety.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this review was to establish the effectiveness of therapeutic games in making clinically measurable reductions in anxiety symptoms in adolescent samples.

METHODS

A systematic search of the existing academic literature published between 1990 and July 2017 was conducted using the databases Journal of Medical Internet Research, Journal Storage, Psychology Articles, Psychology Info, ScienceDIRECT, and Scopus. Records linked to empirical papers on therapeutic games for anxiety using adolescent samples were evaluated.

RESULTS

A total of 5 studies (N=410 participants) met the inclusion criteria, and 3 gamified anxiety interventions for adolescents were identified. The papers included a mixture of randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, and usability studies comprising quantitative and qualitative measures, with varying degrees of mixed methods. Extant evidence shows potential for therapeutic games to create clinically measurable reductions in symptoms of anxiety in adolescent samples, though findings are complicated in some cases by a low sample size, and in other cases by research design and methodological complications, including anxiety reductions in control groups caused by a control-game selection.

CONCLUSIONS

Although research in this field appears to be extremely limited, as demonstrated by the small number of papers meeting the inclusion criteria for this review, early findings suggest that therapeutic games have potential in helping to engage adolescents with anxiety and lead to clinically measurable reductions in symptoms.
A Study of Good Governance Index in Yogyakarta Special Region between 2012 and 2016
Authors: Ubaidillah Achmad
Published: November 2017

This study assesses the progress of good governance index in Yogyakarta between 2012 and 2016. Kemitraan (Partnership for Governance Reform) developed the Yogyakarta governance index of 2012 based on the IGI (Indonesia Governance Index)’s methodology. The author used the same methodology   to develop Yogyakarta governance index of 2016 based on newly collected data on government, bureaucracy, civil society and economic society in Yogyakarta. This paper compares Yogyakarta good governance index for 2012 and 2016. The index comprises scores on three levels, interalia:  the arena, principles and actual policy. The paper introduces and describes the three tier structure and index processing. Results of the comparison of the index for 2012 and 2016 shows that in general Yogyakarta governance index increased from the level of fairy good (6.80) in 2012 to good (7.93) in 2016. Subsequently, the scores that comprise the arena and principle levels were analyzed to determine the contribution of each to the total governance index, and afterwards determine the contribution of each principle to the score of each arena. The results of the analysis procedure indicates the possibility that the increase in governance index may be linked to new special status Law No.13 of 2012 for Yogyakarta. Prior to 2012, the special status of Yogyakarta special administration was shrouded in uncertainty. However, with the passage of Law No.13/2013, the special status of the province is now codified, and today forms the legal basis for   policy making in this province. This paper limits itself to indicators that point to the association between the governance and the enactment of the law, and does neither go as far as analyzing the impact that the enactment of the special status law has had on policies, nor evaluate the impact that policy changes made in the aftermath of the implementation of the special status law on the performance of the index.

Published: November 2017

This research analyze the practice of irrigation, education, and free trade governance linked with functional decentralization concept in Indonesia’s decentralization policy frame. This research use constructivist approach and qualitative-descriptive method. Research result find several factors that cause functional decentralization in Indonesia’s decentralization policy for irrigation, education, and free trade is not adopted. Political institution is not adopted, independence of the farmers, integration of river and irrigation web, and state constitution, are the factors from irrigation side. Several factors in education are the existence of educational boards, the independence of school, devolution in education governance, and state constitution. For free trade, the institution of Batam governance, members structure in Batam’s boards, the uncertainty of BP. Batam in Indonesia’s administration structure, and state constitution, which make functional decentralization is not adopted. Generally, state constitution is major factor of functional decentralization is not adopted. The Construction of Decentralization in the Future of Indonesia’s Decentralization Policy especially in irrigation, education, and free trade can be done gradually begin from inter-local government cooperation, state-local collaboration in boards until establishing the functional decentralization’s organization.
Quantum gates between distant qubits via spin-independent scattering
Authors: Banchi Leonardo , Compagno Enrico , Korepin Vladimir , Bose Sougato
Published: November 2017

We show how the spin independent scattering of two initially distant qubits, say, in distinct traps or in remote sites of a lattice, can be used to implement an entangling quantum gate between them. The scattering takes place under 1D confinement for which we consider two different scenarios: a 1D wave-guide and a tight-binding lattice. We consider models with contact-like interaction between two fermionic or two bosonic particles. A qubit is encoded in two distinct spins (or other internal) states of each particle. Our scheme enables the implementation of a gate between two qubits which are initially too far to interact directly, and provides an alternative to photonic mediators for the scaling of quantum computers. Fundamentally, an interesting feature is that "identical particles" (e.g., two atoms of the same species) and the 1D confinement, are both necessary for the action of the gate. Finally, we discuss the feasibility of our scheme, the degree of control required to initialize the wave-packets momenta, and show how the quality of the gate is affected by momentum distributions and initial distance. In a lattice, the control of quasi-momenta is naturally provided by few local edge impurities in the lattice potential.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar a influência do nível de atividade física na capacidade funcional de mulheres idosas. A amostra foi composta por 15 mulheres com idade entre 60 e 78 anos. Para o nível de atividade física, utilizou-se o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ, 2005), gerando dois grupos, nos quais as idosas foram caracterizadas como ativas (GATI; n = 7) e sedentárias (GSED; n = 8). A avaliação da capacidade funcional consistiu de três testes físicos, teste de subir degraus (DEG), teste de sentar e levantar em uma cadeira (CAD) e o Timed Up and Go (TUG). Houve diferença significativa (p≤0,05) entre os grupos, apenas nas variáveis do nível de atividade física e no teste TUG, sendo em ambas, uma superioridade em favor do grupo ativo. Concluiu-se que o nível de atividade física tem influência no TUG, porém não no DEG e CAD.

A frequência cardíaca (FC) é um indicador fisiológico amplamente utilizado para a avaliação, monitoramento e prescrição das intensidades dos esforços. Portanto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar as respostas da FC de jovens atletas de modalidades coletivas em testes específicos de desempenho. Participaram do estudo 32 jovens atletas do sexo masculino (16,4 ± 0,35 anos), praticantes de futsal que realizaram o Futsal Intermittent Endurance Test (FIET), voleibol que realizaram o TW20 metros Test e handebol que fizeram o Yo-yo recovery Test. A FCPICO foi determinada como a mais alta FC encontrada ao final dos testes. Para testar a normalidade dos dados foram aplicados os testes de Shapiro Wilk e o teste t de student para verificar a diferença entre a FCPICO nos diferentes testes de desempenho. Os resultados apontaram altas frequências cardíacas obtidas durante a realização dos testes por modalidade: futsal (FIET: 196,7* ± 5,89 bpm), voleibol (TW20: 187,8 ± 9,69 bpm) e handebol (YO-YO: 190,5 ± 8,68 bpm) sugerindo uma predominância do metabolismo anaeróbio. Concluímos que a FCPICO evidenciou valores máximos superiores para o futsal, e que a fórmula de Karvonen utilizada para predizer a FCmax superestima os valores reais quando empregadas com jovens atletas em testes de desempenho.

A influência da cobertura vegetal sobre o clima acontece de diferentes formas, interferindo tanto na entrada de luz e umidade relativa quanto nas variações de temperatura. A maior parte das florestas existentes é grande emissora de umidade por intermédio de um processo chamado de evapotranspiração. Faz-se necessário apontar que a cobertura vegetal igualmente protege os solos. Objetivou-se comparar as variações microclimáticas e as características do solo em duas áreas com diferentes coberturas vegetais. A área de estudo foi a localidade do Morro da Harmonia - Teutônia – RS, que se encontra localizada em uma área de 120 hectares em uma região com vegetação majoritariamente composta por remanescentes das Florestas Estacional Decidual e Ombrófila Mista. Foram verificadas e comparadas as variáveis microclimáticas (temperatura, umidade relativa do ar e entrada de luz) e do solo (presença e altura da serapilheira, umidade, pH, cor e compactação do solo) entre duas áreas com coberturas vegetais diferentes: uma área florestada e outra de campo aberto. Os resultados apontaram que as áreas cobertas com florestas preservam o solo e o clima. Por outro lado, a falta de vegetação contribui para tornar o solo mais compacto. Conclui-se que o desmatamento e a degradação florestal ocasionam a mudança de clima, ameaçam a fauna e a flora ao destruir seu habitat, comprometem rios e bacias hídricas e favorecem o enfraquecimento do solo e a ocorrência de erosão.

The subject of consideration in this article is a humanitarian examination. The authors’ research object was technological projects, processes, technology and technical in general. The article raises the problem of theoretical and methodological foundations of humanitarian expertise of technological projects and processes. The urgency of considering this problem is manifested in connection with the development of scientific and technological progress and the penetration of technology into all spheres of human life. Authors of the article suggest the author's conceptual paradigm of humanitarian evaluation, which is formed on the basis of the selection of "the first flowers" of moral consciousness - objective regulators of consciousness - the archetypal bases of morality. At the same time, the moral is viewed as an objective relationship between the ontological relationship in nature between the individual and social consciousness. The model of humanitarian expertise is based on the humanitarian paradigm, which affirms respect for man as the main criterion and content of moral assessment. Unconditional benefit as an ideal pattern of behavior and activity is to provide a person with the most comfortable conditions for his self-realization, the disclosure and functioning of all his essential forces. The authors clearly outline the scope and prospects of humanitarian expertise, and argue that its further development is associated with real steps towards the institutionalization of an integral and autonomous humanitarian expertise. This process involves the following steps: the analysis of practices related to humanitarian expertise and the development of its technology, the development of draft legislative acts related to the institutionalization of expertise, the testing of technologies for humanitarian expertise

A Comparative Global Geothermal Development Analysis: Indonesia Investment Perspective
Authors: Wahyudi Noeroso L.
Published: November 2017

One of the current suggestions on low global oil price is a good momentum to optimize utilization of geothermal resources as renewable energy. Meanwhile, Government and donors countries have partnership experiences to remove some barriers such as legal framework on business process for attracting private sectors to invest in geothermal project financing. An explorative analysis on comparative global geothermal development based on Indonesia investment perspective is methodology of this paper. As a qualitative-descriptive paper, this method focused on literature review to obtain literature or secondary data. The data used are secondary data obtained from various sources, such as Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), Ministry of Finance, PT PLN as well as a range of research and other resources accessed through the internet. The goal of these explorations to find some lessons learned which might be used by the GoI to utilize its largest world potential of geothermal resources more transparent, efficiently, and effectively. Based on global geothermal development current status shows that the role of private companies in Indonesia position is the second-ranking on share geothermal utilization.   Unfortunately, Indonesia position on the share of resource to potential utilization is in the third-ranking compare to six leading geothermal countries. This means that Indonesia has the opportunity to scale up its resource potential utilization.  Managing this opportunity, the GoI should continue its experience to support and guarantee private companies business process strategically.
Mediator – enabler for successful digital health care
Authors: Lahtiranta Janne
Published: November 2017

It is no news that as in any other field of industry, digitalization is changing health care. This change is ongoing and profound as it affects every aspect imaginable; from provisioning to funding, and from roles to responsibilities. The magnitude of this change is such that some label it as the ‘health care revolution’. Not all individuals are ready for this ‘revolution’. Some rebel against it while others are simply not able to cope with it. Regardless of the underlying reason, it can be estimated that in the near future, roughly 10 % of the population in the OECD countries will drift outside the reach of the modern electronic health care services. These individuals, the digital orphan, need to be brought back in order to prevent the future of health care from becoming more marginalized and discriminatory than it is today. Mediators, individuals in the crux of health care and technology, are one way to prevent this unwelcome eventuality from coming true. In the following, the focus of examination is on the mediators and mediation. The role of a mediator is critically examined from different perspectives, and a framework for mediation is presented.
