Authors: Gunn Geoffrey C.
Published: March 2020

Politically, the focus in Timor-Leste in 2019 shifted from infighting to crucial decision-making on petroleum exploitation. Contrary to international advice on risk management and the need to diversify the non-oil economy, a going-for-broke mindset with respect to a multi-billion-dollar onshore gas development appeared to have carried the day.

Published: March 2020

The paper considers a problem of provision of the programmable component integrity of computer systems. First the basic stagesof the programmable components life cycle are presented. The authors note that the program code modification gives the op-portunity to maliciously violate its (program code) integrity. The traditional methods of integrity modification are based onthe usage of monitoring hash sums. However the main disadvantage of the traditional methods is that they are not able to hide the fact of integ-rity monitoring execution itself. This fact cannot be hidden and becomes obvious. Even under the conditions of extra encrypting of monitoring hash sum the very existence of it demonstrates that the integrity monitoring is carried out. The paper presents a class of methods which offer the hash sum embedding into program code in the form of digital watermark. This class of methods is consid-ered with reference to monitoring the chip FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) program code integrity. For embedding the fea-tures of LUT-oriented FPGA architecture are used. The monitoring digital watermark embedding is performed due to the usage of equivalent program codes conversions in a set of LUT-units included in FPGA. The peculiarities of the digital watermark embedding are as follows –such kind of embedding does not change the program code size and does not modify the chip FPGA operation. As a result of embedding it is impossible to distinguish the monitoring hash sum in the program code in an evident way. The extraction of digital watermark including hash sum can be carried out only in the presence of special steganographic key, which sets the rules of watermark location in the FPGA program code space. In the given paper a compositional method of embedding the monitoring digi-tal watermark into the FPGA program code is offered. The method combines the features of ones providing the recovery of initial program code state and the ones (methods), which implement the embedding on the basis of syndrome decoding. The proposed method incorporates the useful features of two classes of methods mentioned above and serves to reduce the amount of equivalent conversions applied to the program code in the course of the digital watermark embedding. This demonstrates the advantage of the proposed method as compared to the base ones of the digital watermark embedding in the FPGA program code. The description and results of experimental research of the proposed method are also presented.
TEMPERATURE MODELS FOR GRINDING SYSTEM STATE MONITORING
Authors: Lishchenko Natalia V. , Larshin Vasily P.
Published: March 2020

The grinding temperature limits the productivity of this operation and is an important parameter for assessing the state of the grinding system. However, there is no information about the current grinding temperature in the existing computer systems for moni-toring and process diagnostics on CNC grinding machines. This is due to the difficulty of measuring this parameter directly or indi-rectly. In the first case – difficulty with the installation of temperature sensors, in the second – there are no acceptable mathematical models for determining the grinding temperature. The objective of the study is development of a simpler temperature model which is acceptable for the modern grinding with large values of the workpiece velocity relative to the grinding wheel. To reach the study objective a classification of solutions of three-, two-, and one-dimensional differential equations of heat conduction with the same initial and boundary conditions was made to research the grinding temperatures with the help of these solutions under otherwise equal conditions. The conditions of results close agreement of the solutions are established depending on the geometrical configura-tion of the contact zone between the grinding wheel and the workpiece: H / L<1 and H>4, where HandL are half width and half length of the contact zone, respectively. The above three solutions of differential heat conduction equations obtained under boundary conditions of the second kind and were converted to a uniform dimensionless form, in which the dimensionless temperature depends on the coordinate and dimensionless time multiplicity of the Peclet number, which characterizes this time, the dimensionless half and velocity of the moving heat source. A comparative analysis of surface and deep temperatures was performed for the above three solu-tions depending on the Peclet number. The possibility of determining the grinding temperature on modern high-speed CNC machines with a one-dimensional solution with H>4 on the basis of computer subsystems of designing, monitoring and diagnosing of grind-ing operations is shown.

Published: March 2020

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes inflammation such as mastitis in the breast. Breast mastitis can occur in nursing mothers and requires first aid or initial treatment. Herbal ingredients can be utilized because they are easily obtained and can be prepared by the community themselves. The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of soursop leaf extract on IL-6 levels in mammae of female rats Sprague dawley induced by S. aureus. The study was divided into four groups consisting of five rats that were induced by S. aureus 2 x 107 CFU/ml. Group I was given 0.5% Na.CMC, Group II gave 45 mg/kgBW cefadroxil antibiotics, group III administered 100 mg / kgBW soursop leaf extract, and group IV administered soursop leaf extract combined with cefadroxil. Each group was given treatment twice a day for 5 days. IL-6 levels were measured on days 3 and 6. The results of this study showed IL-6 levels in group III were 7.50 ± 1.74 pg/ml on the 3rd day, and 4.51 ± 1.47 pg/ml on the 6th day. The results showed there were differences in IL-6 levels in group III (p = 0.037). Soursop leaf extract can be used as a therapy for mastitis caused by S. aureus.
El nexo seguridad-desarrollo y la resiliencia como sucedáneos de la seguridad humana en las políticas de la Unión Europea: el caso del Sahel
Authors: MORAL MARTÍN Pablo
Published: March 2020

Un cuarto de siglo después de la aparición del concepto, la seguridad humana apenas conserva un peso marginal en el acervo estratégico de la UE. La utilidad de sus preceptos originales ha quedado limitada a servir de orientación para la adopción de paradigmas sucedáneos, como son los casos del nexo seguridad-desarrollo y la resiliencia. En este artículo nos proponemos estudiar las diferencias entre estos conceptos y cómo ha evolucionado su relevancia en los documentos oficiales y estrategias de la Unión Europea (UE). Comprobamos cómo tanto el nexo seguridad-desarrollo como la resiliencia han prevalecido por resultar más prácticos y asumibles para la UE. En ellos, Bruselas ha encontrado la justificación teórica de las intervenciones en países cuyo “subdesarrollo” es percibido como una amenaza para la seguridad europea. Un ejemplo paradigmático de ello lo encontramos en el Sahel. En esta región se han llevado a cabo múltiples iniciativas bajo estas máximas, lo que ha resultado en una priorización de las cuestiones de seguridad sobre las de desarrollo y en el consecuente trasvase de recursos predestinados al desarrollo hacia asuntos de seguridad.
Construyendo el Pacto Mundial para la Migración: la seguridad humana como paradigma diplomático
Authors: DE LA MORA SALCEDO Fernando
Published: March 2020

El Pacto Mundial para la Migración Segura, Ordenada y Regular (PMM) es un logro diplomático destacado para las Naciones Unidas. El proceso diplomático que dio pie al PMM fue diseñado con la seguridad humana en mente y con el objetivo de atender a la migración en todas sus dimensiones. Las negociaciones mostraron una tensión entre preocupaciones sobre la soberanía estatal y los derechos de las personas migrantes. Si bien, existen críticas validas sobre el PMM, el empleo de la seguridad humana como paradigma diplomático permitió diálogos incluyentes de los cuales resultó un marco cooperativo para fortalecer las capacidades de los estados ante el fenómeno migratorio. Tener al ser humano en el centro del análisis se dice fácil, pero traducirlo en políticas públicas negociadas entre gobiernos conlleva serios retos. En temas tan variados como detención de menores, protección laboral y debido proceso, el PMM representa una contribución de la seguridad humana a la migración en el presente y un modelo a considerar para futuros procesos diplomáticos.

Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVES:

Neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) can result in severe disability. Nonoperative management minimally slows scoliosis progression, but operative management with posterior spinal fusion (PSF) carries high risks of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we compare health and economic outcomes of PSF to nonoperative management for children with NMS to identify opportunities to improve care.

METHODS:

We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis. Our decision analytic model included patients aged 5 to 20 years with NMS and a Cobb angle ≥50°, with a base case of 15-year-old patients. We estimated costs, life expectancy, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness from published literature and conducted sensitivity analyses on all model inputs.

RESULTS:

We estimated that PSF resulted in modestly decreased discounted life expectancy (10.8 years) but longer quality-adjusted life expectancy (4.84 QALYs) than nonoperative management (11.2 years; 3.21 QALYs). PSF costs $75 400 per patient. Under base-case assumptions, PSF costs $50 100 per QALY gained. Our findings were sensitive to quality of life (QoL) and life expectancy, with PSF favored if it significantly increased QoL.

CONCLUSIONS:

In patients with NMS, whether PSF is cost-effective depends strongly on the degree to which QoL improved, with larger improvements when NMS is the primary cause of debility, but limited data on QoL and life expectancy preclude a definitive assessment. Improved patient-centered outcome assessments are essential to understanding the effectiveness of NMS treatment alternatives. Because the degree to which PSF influences QoL substantially impacts health outcomes and varies by patient, clinicians should consider shared decision-making during PSF-related consultations.

Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVES:

Discharge of hospitalized pediatric patients may be delayed for various “nonmedical” reasons. Such delays impact hospital flow and contribute to hospital crowding. We aimed to improve discharge efficiency for our hospitalized pediatric patients by using an iterative quality improvement (QI) process.

METHODS:

Opportunities for improved efficiency were identified using value stream mapping, root cause, and benefit-effort analyses. QI interventions were focused on altered physician workflow, standardized discharge checklists, and physician workshops by using multiple plan-do-study-act cycles. The primary outcome of percentage of discharges before noon, process measure of percentage of discharges with orders before 10 am, and balancing measures of readmission rate, emergency department revisit rate, and parent experience survey scores were analyzed by using statistical process control. The secondary outcome of mean length of stay was analyzed using t tests and linear regression.

RESULTS:

Implementation of our interventions was associated with special cause variation, with an upward shift in mean percentage of discharges before noon from 13.2% to 18.5%. Mean percentage of patients with discharge orders before 10 am also increased from 13.6% to 23.6% and met rules for special cause. No change was detected in a control group. Adjusted mean length of stay index, 30-day readmissions, and parent experience survey scores remained unchanged. Special cause variation indicated a decreased 48-hour emergency department revisit rate associated with our interventions.

CONCLUSIONS:

An iterative QI process improved discharge efficiency without negatively affecting subsequent hospital use or parent experience. With this study, we support investment of resources into improving pediatric discharge efficiency through value stream mapping and rapid cycle QI.
Prescribing Video-Based Patient Education in the Hospital Setting: Can Bedside Breastfeeding Videos Affect Exclusive Breastfeeding at Postpartum Discharge?
Authors: Marmet Jordan , Schmiesing Anne , Scheuer John , Osborn Cindy , Lunos Scott A. , Pitt Michael B.
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Evaluate the impact of a standardized bundle of educational videos delivered via the bedside television to postpartum mothers on exclusive breastfeeding rates. Despite the growing use of videos for hospital discharge education, there is a paucity of literature evaluating their effectiveness.

METHODS:

In November 2015, we began ordering 4 externally produced, peer-reviewed breastfeeding education videos for all postpartum mothers to view via their bedside televisions. Mothers could choose whether to watch the videos, and if they did, this was automatically documented in the electronic health record. We then performed a retrospective chart review generating a data set focusing on newborns who were healthy, term, and appropriate for gestational age, born in the year pre- and postintervention, and compared exclusive breastfeeding rates at the time of discharge among both groups.

RESULTS:

Our data set included 3115 newborns (1467 pre- and 1648 postintervention). In the postintervention year, the exclusive breastfeeding rate at discharge was 69.5% vs 68.4% preintervention (P value: .80). Most mothers (81.3%; 1339) watched all 4 videos, and 308 mothers (18.7%) watched none. The mothers who watched all 4 videos were more likely to breastfeed exclusively (72.7% vs 55.3%) and less likely to exclusively formula feed than the mothers who watched none (1.1% vs 19.8%; P < .0001).

CONCLUSIONS:

There was no change in exclusive breastfeeding rates pre– versus post–video education intervention. However, most mothers watched all 4 videos, and those who did were significantly more likely to engage in any breastfeeding (98.9%) compared with those who watched none (80.2%) during the postpartum hospitalization.
Milrinone Use in Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn
Authors: Qasim Amna , Jain Sunil K.
Published: March 2020

Failure of the normal transition from in utero to ex utero physiology leads to “persistent” pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). PPHN is frequently associated with low systemic blood pressure and low cardiac output because of increased right ventricular afterload and myocardial dysfunction. The general management of newborns with PPHN is geared toward maintenance of normothermia, normal serum electrolytes, normal intravascular volume, correction of acidosis, adequate sedation/analgesia, adequate ventilation and oxygenation with optimal lung recruitment, and avoidance of hyperoxia. Inotropic and vasoactive agents are commonly initiated early to increase cardiac output, maintain adequate systemic blood pressure, and enhance oxygen delivery to the tissue. Unfortunately, there is not much evidence on the choice, timing of initiation, dosing, monitoring, and titrating of vasoactive agents in this patient population. In this review, we will discuss the pathophysiology of PPHN and review the use of inotropic, lusitropic, and vasoactive agents in the management of PPHN, with particular attention to milrinone.
COMPARISON OF A RAPID ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBANT ASSAY TEST WITH AN INDIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TEST IN DIAGNOSING EHRLICHIA AND ANAPLASMA INFECTIONS IN DOGS
Authors: Gospodinova Kr. , Zhelev G. , Petrov V.
Published: March 2020

PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to compare the diagnostic value of commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFA) in detecting immunoglobulin-G (IgG) antibodies to Ehrlichia canis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. METHODS: Seventy-four serum samples, obtained from dogs believed to be naturally infected with E. canis or A. phagocytophilum, were analyzed. RESULTS: By ELISA, 48 (64.9%) samples were found positive for IgG to E. canis, 10 (13.5%) to A. phagocytophilum, 12 (16.2%) to both E. canis and A. phagocytophilum, and in 4 (5.4%) samples no presence of antibodies was detected. The number of serologically positive dogs for IgG was 44 (59.5%) to E. canis, 10 (13.5%) to A. phagocytophilum, 16 (21.6%) to both E. canis and A. phagocytophilum, and 4 (5.4%) were determined negative by means of IFA. In most samples the antibody titer did not exceed 1:80 but in 5 it reached a level of 1:320, and in other 4 of even above 1:640. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that IFA assay is more sensitive than commercial ELISA rapid test when serum antibody titers are low.
IMPACT OF HUMATE BIOFERTILIZERS ON THE BASIC CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF GRASS BIOMASS OF BIRD'S-FOOT-TREFOIL, RED CLOVER AND SAINFOIN
Authors: Churkova B.
Published: March 2020

PURPOSE of the experiment was the impact of biofertilizers, such as boron and molybdenum humate on the chemical composition of grass biomass of bird's-foot trefoil, red clover and sainfoin. METHODS: The treatment of bird's feet, red clover, sainfoin with boron and molybdenum humate was studied at a dose of 1600 ml/ha.
RESULTS: Boron humate had a positive impact on crude protein content in sainfoin. Molybdenum humate increased crude fats of bird's-foot-trefoil forage. Biofertilizers decreased crude fiber in sainfoin. Boron humate increased crude ash in red clover, while NFE had the highest values in bird's-foot-trefoil. Boron humate led to an increase in calcium content in bird's-foot-trefoil and sainfoin star, and decreased it in red clover.
The developed graphical regression models: between plant height and the share of legumes in the grassland is y = 0.3232x + 17.709; crude protein and leaves y = 0. 1036x + 12.514; NFE and stems y = 0.1547x + 29.11; crude protein and calcium y = 2.9505x + 8.8375 allow the nutritional value of the feed to be predicted.
CONCLUSIONS: Biofertilizers, such as boron and molybdenum humate (160 ml/da) can be recommended for inclusion in the growing technology for bird's-foot-trefoil, red clover and sainfoins, in order to improve forage quality.
INFLUENCE OF SOME ROOTSTOCK ON THE GROWTH AND QUALITY OF THE VINE PLANTING MATERIAL OF THE MAVRUD VARIETY
Authors: Mihaylov M.
Published: March 2020

The direction related with production of vine planting material originated from the 19th century, after the advent of Phylloxera vastatrix F. in which a large part of the vineyards in Bulgaria and the main wine-growing countries were destroyed. Only solution was proposed for grafting vine varieties from Vitis vinifera L. on resistant rootstocks. A number of biological characteristics of the vine influence both the nursery for scions and the rootstock nursery. One of them, which is main is the affinity of different rootstocks on the different vine varieties. In the southern Bulgaria, where the Mavrud variety is characteristic, high losses are observed due to the low yield of first-class vines. In Bulgaria, the Mavrud variety is highly valued due to its biological qualities, resulting in extracts and dense red wines that have glorified our country.

Published: March 2020

A Política Nacional dos Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS), aprovada em 2010, exige a implantação de sistemas de logística reversa para equipamentos eletroeletrônicos (EEE). O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar como as indústrias de EEE do Rio Grande do Sul (RS) estão agindo para reduzir o impacto ambiental de sua produção e como atendem a legislação ambiental no que se refere aos resíduos destes equipamentos. O estudo foi realizado com 19 indústrias de EEE situadas no RS, em 2015. O questionário, instrumento de coleta de dados, utilizou a escala Likert para avaliar as organizações em relação aos processos produtivos, produtos, informações aos consumidores e PNRS. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se as frequências absolutas, os coeficientes de correlação posto-ordem rs de Spearman e o índice geral IGk. Pode-se ressaltar que as organizações participantes já realizam ações para minimizar o impacto de sua produção, mas ainda não realizam ações efetivas para alteração da composição dos produtos restringindo substâncias perigosas ou modificando o design para reciclabilidade. Além disso, o sistema de logística reversa não é realidade da maioria das organizações pesquisadas.

Projetos são utilizados cada vez mais para atingir objetivos de negócios, por isso a demanda por profissionais de projeto vem crescendo, assim como o interesse pelas competências a serem desenvolvidas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo traçar o perfil de competências para o trabalho com projetos, esperado dos alunos da área de ciências da vida ao final da graduação, e o perfil esperado do profissional de projetos pela perspectiva de profissionais de projetos da área de ciências da vida. O método utilizado foi o de estudo de caso com entrevistas, análise qualitativa do material coletado e das diretrizes propostas pelo MEC para os cursos de graduação de ciências da vida. Concluiu-se que algumas das competências essenciais para trabalhar com projetos deveriam ser desenvolvidas durante os cursos de graduação. As entrevistas chamam atenção para a importância de preparar o aluno de graduação para o trabalho com projetos, necessidade cada vez mais evidente. Ao comparar as diretrizes curriculares e o conteúdo das entrevistas, percebe-se a distância entre o que é proposto pelas diretrizes e o que é realmente ministrado na graduação da área de ciências da vida.
The Quality Management of Vocational Education and Training (VET) Process: Evaluation of Community
Authors: Martišauskienė Dalia , Trakšelys Kęstutis
Published: March 2020

The article presents the process of vocational education and training (VET) quality, which is an actual theme in educational policy nowadays. A total of 628 survey participants (240 teachers, 340 students and 48 school heads) participated in the research. Three vocational education and training schools from each region of Lithuania (Marijampolė and Alytus, Utena, Panevėžys, Šiauliai, Telšiai and Tauragė, Klaipėda, Kaunas, Vilnius) were selected randomly. The quantitative study revealed, that the majority (78%) of educational providers (pedagogues (n = 240), school heads (n = 48) (81% and 66% respectively) perceive quality as continuous improvement of services. In addition, 52% of teachers and school leaders (62% and 48% respectively) describe quality as being fit for purpose, that is to say, how much the vocational training institution meets its goals and realizes the functions provided in legal acts. Defining the quality concept, 49% study participants (n = 628) emphasized the satisfaction of consumers’ needs and 28% – the importance of missing errors. However, only a small percentage of educational service providers (n = 288) involved in the study, perceive the quality as excellence and service exclusivity (21% respectively), although the same varied services are missed by both: pedagogues and users of services – students.Looking at the responses of school heads (n = 48), they would look much better compared to teachers (n = 240) and students (n = 340). Teachers’ and school heads’ attitudes towards quality management principles are different. Pedagogues, who usually understand their work as performing lessons, do not think that quality management principles are important for an organization and teaching process. The customer orientation is usually understood as the clarification of the customer’s needs and expectations, as well as the quality of service provided. School heads (n = 48) have highlighted this feature as the most important since many vocational education and training institutions work in a competitive environment, consequently, each learner is important, as well as meeting their needs and expectations is a necessary part of the quality management system.

This paper analyses graphic representation of gender, functional and cultural diversity in Spanish Primary Education textbooks. A sample of 528 images from three different textbooks by three of the main publishing houses in Spain was studied. Results showed equal representation in terms of gender. However, textbooks still do not sufficiently include graphic representations of cultural or functional diversity. Greater efforts are needed to ensure that textbooks reflect the classroom‘s reality and that diversity normalized in schools.
A Qualitative Heuristic Inquiry into the Development of Therapeutic Presence as a Student Music Therapist
Authors: Mc Guigan Niall
Published: March 2020

This first-person study investigates the role of cognitive and embodied forms of knowledge in relation to the development of therapeutic presence as a student music therapist. In this paper, I will provide an introduction to the topic reviewing its relevance to the practice of music therapy, and I will argue that the development of therapeutic presence is a fundamental part of becoming a music therapist.  Although there are seminal articles in the music therapy literature that discuss the topic of therapeutic presence, I have not found any articles relating it to the development of being a student music therapist. Using heuristic methodology, I will describe the personal process of developing therapeutic presence as a student music therapist. To gain a broader perspective on the research topic, and to provide validation and transparency in relation to my personal heuristic process, three successive theoretical and experiential workshops were carried out with six student music therapists. Data, in the form of questionnaires, reflections and group musical improvisations were analysed systematically to validate my experience of the research topic, and also to discover and evaluate themes and practical methods. The research has culminated in the synthesis of data gathered during the study in relation to the main research question while also reviewing its relevance to music therapy practice and implications for further study.

A análise seguiu os passos propostos na fenomenologia empírica de Giorgi articulando-a com a literatura. Resultados Identificaram-se cinco categorias: a experiência anterior à realização do Teste Rápido; Intencionalidade de sentimentos; Percepção do aconselhamento pelo usuário; Percepção do aconselhamento individual no pós-teste e; Percepção de profissionais sobre o aconselhamento. O aconselhamento coletivo é percebido pelos usuários como palestra sobre HIV/Aids com ênfase em consequências negativas; e o aconselhamento individual, como mais confortável e como possibilidade para exposição de dúvidas. Discussão Considera-se que, mesmo sabendo da importância do aconselhamento, este é realizado de forma empírica, reduzindo o ato ao repasse de informações com teor educativo, visando apenas à aprendizagem cognitiva como meio de disseminar o conhecimento, tentando, assim, reduzir a cadeia de transmissão da HIV/Aids.

Thiis paper illustrates the usefulness of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods in approximating DSGE model posterior distributions. We show how the tempering schedule can be chosen adaptively, document the accuracy and runtime benefits o fgeneralized data tempering for “online” estimation (that is, re-estimating a model asnew data become available), and provide examples of multimodal posteriors that are well captured by SMC methods. We then use the online estimation of the DSGE model to compute pseudo-out-of-sample density forecasts and study the sensitivity ofthe predictive performance to changes in the prior distribution. We find that making priors less informative (compared to the benchmark priors used in the literature) by increasing the prior variance does not lead to a deterioration of forecast accuracy.
DIŞ TİCARET-EKONOMİK BÜYÜME İLİŞKİSİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİNDE BİR NEDENSELLİK ANALİZİ
Authors: KIZILDERE Celal
Published: March 2020

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de dış ticaret ile
ekonomik büyüme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini, analiz etmek amacıyla
tasarlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, 1970-2018 dönemini kapsayacak şekilde, yıllık
veriler kullanılmıştır. Analizde kullanılan değişkenler yıllık büyüme oranı ve
dış ticareti oluşturan kalemlerdir. Yıllık büyüme oranını temsilen, Gayri Safi
Yurtiçi Hâsıla (GSYİH), dış ticaret için ise ihracat (EXPRT) ve ithalat (IMP)
değişkenleri ele alınmıştır. İhracat, ithalatın GDP’ye oranını ve ithalat ise
ihracatın GDP’ye oranını temsil etmektedir.   Analizde
kullanılan değişkenlere ait veriler, Dünya Bankası veri tabanından elde
edilmiştir. Dönemin seçilmesinde, son yıllarda artan döviz oynaklığı ve 2007’nin
sonlarında başlayıp, 2008’de ivme kazanan ve 2019’un başlarına kadar etkileri devam
eden Amerika Bileşik Devletleri (ABD) kaynaklı, 2008 küresel finans krizi
sonucunda ortaya çıkan ekonomik tablo etkili olmuştur. Böylelikle araştırmada,
diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak, güncel fiyatlar ile analiz yapma ihtiyacı giderilmeye
çalışılmıştır. Zaman serisi analizlerinde öncelikle, serilerin durağan olup olmadıkları
test edilir. Bu nedenle araştırmada, serilerin durağanlığı Augmented Dickey
Fuller (ADF) modeli ile test edilmiştir. Daha sonra ise, Granger nedensellik
testi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, ekonomik büyümeden ithalata, ihracattan
ithalata ve ekonomik büyümeden ihracata doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik
ilişkisi tespit edilmişken, diğer değişkenler arasında herhangi bir nedensellik
ilişkisine rastlanılmamıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre Türkiye’de,
büyümenin iç talebe bağlı olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Bu sonuç, güncel ekonomik
durum ile örtüşmektedir.

PENERAPAN ARSITEKTUR ANALOGI LOGO KULON PROGO BINANGUN PADA REST AREA DI JALAN TEMON WATES, KULON PROGO
Authors: Wulandari Trianita , Setyowati Marcelina Dwi
Published: March 2020

Abstract: The design of the Rest Area on Kulon Progo Temon Wates Road with the Kulon Progo Binangun Logo Analogy Architecture approach is the design of the design of the building for the rest area for drivers in the Wates Kulon Progo area, especially in the Temon sub-district located right on the National road. This is due to the absence of a rest area in the Kulon Progo area. In connection with the construction of the new Yogyakarta Airport in Temon Wates it will increase the number of vehicles through the connecting link between Kulon Progo to Yogyakarta and outside Yogyakarta. Therefore, a facility for resting is needed, namely the rest area for road user safety. Aside from being a place of rest, the conceptual approach used in the Temon Wates road rest area is planned to use a symbolic analogy architecture approach related to the logo of Kulon Progo, in order to create a building that has a landmark image in the buildings in the Kulon Progo area.The method used in designing this rest area is a descriptive method through primary and secondary data collection, the data is analyzed to determine the design concept. Therefore, in the Rest Area on Temon Wates street, there are facilities that support visitors to rest comfortably such as food court, lodging, souvenir center, sitting area, prayer room, gas station, and park.Keywords: Architectural Analogy, Logo of  Kulon Progo Binangun, Rest Area Abstrak: Perancangan Rest Area di Jalan Temon Wates Kulon Progo dengan pendekatan Arsitektur Analogi Logo Kulon Progo Binangun adalah perancangan desain bangunan area tempat beristirahat bagi para pengendara di kawasan Wates Kulon Progo khususnya di daerah kecamatan Temon yang berada tepat di jalan Nasional. Hal ini dilatar belakangi karena belum adanya rest area di kawasan Kulon Progo. Sehubungan dengan pembangunan Bandara baru Yogyakarta yang berada di Temon Wates maka akan meningkatkan jumlah kendaraan yang melalui jalur penghubung antara Kulon Progo ke Yogyakarta maupun luar Yogyakarta. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan sebuah fasilitas untuk beristirahat yaitu rest area demi keselamatan pengguna jalan. Selain sebagai tempat beristirahat, pendekatan konsep yang digunakan pada rest area jalan Temon Wates direncanakan akan menggunakan pendekatan arsitektur analogi simbolik yang berkaitan dengan logo dari Kulon Progo, agar menciptakan sebuah bangunan yang memiliki citra sebagai landmark pada bangunan di kawasan Kulon Progo.Metode yang digunakan dalam perancangan rest area ini adalah metode deskriptif melalui pengumpulan data primer dan sekunder, data tersebut dianalisis untuk menentukan konsep perancangan. Oleh karena itu di dalam Rest Area di jalan Temon Wates ini memiliki fasilitas yang mendukung pengunjung agar beristirahat secara nyaman seperti food court, penginapan, pusat oleh-oleh, area duduk, mushola, SPBU, dan taman.Kata kunci : Analogi Arsitektur, Logo Kulon Progo Binangun, Rest Area
Translating Birth Stories as Counter-Narratives
Authors: Susam-Saraeva Şebnem
Published: March 2020

Este artículo estudia las narrativas en torno al parto y su traducción desde los enfoques de la teoría narrativa, los estudios feministas y los estudios de traducción. En línea con los argumentos de que las narrativas personales pueden socavar las narrativas públicas y que una experiencia subjetiva puede ser una fuente de conocimiento legítima para cuestionar instituciones y autoridades, relatos de nacimiento se presentan aquí como ‘contranarrativas’, que cuentan historias alternativas desde una posición subordinada en la jerarquía del conocimiento. Esos relatos son ejemplos dignos de mención del conocimiento subjetivo, experiencial, visceral y feminista que pasa de una persona a la siguiente, de una generación a otra, y, en el caso de la traducción, de una lengua y una cultura a otra. Centrada en una obra clave compilada y escrita por una matrona estadounidense, Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth, y su traducción al turco, que incluye 44 historias de nacimiento, el artículo compara y contrasta los sistemas de salud materna en Estados Unidos y Turquía, las expectativas societales y el rol de los relatos de nacimiento en ambas culturas. Ubica estas narrativas personales y públicas en relación con narrativas mayores que circulan en estas culturas y discute cómo las traducciones reflejan esas metanarrativas a la vez que busca darles nueva forma.
Deconstruir mitos y prejuicios para interpretar a mujeres migrantes en contextos de violencia de género o prostitución en España
Authors: Marey-Castro Cristina , Del-Pozo-Triviño Maribel
Published: March 2020

Las mujeres migrantes, protagonistas en los flujos migratorios, se enfrentan desde el inicio de su desplazamiento a una doble marginación, que las acompaña por su condición de migrantes y por ser mujeres. Esto, sumado a la intersección dinámica de otros factores étnico-raciales, económico-sociales y de sexo-género, contribuye a su estigmatización que, además, se acentúa cuando se encuentran en contextos de violencia de género o prostitución. Tanto las personas que interpretan a estas mujeres, como los contextos en que lo hacen, están también atravesados por prejuicios que afectan la toma de decisiones durante el proceso de interpretación. El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar acerca de la necesidad de revisar constantemente mitos y prejuicios, para poder deconstruirnos como intérpretes y ofrecer así un servicio de calidad que no dilate la posición vulnerable de las mujeres migrantes en contextos de violencia de género o prostitución. Nuestro análisis se aborda desde el contexto español, si bien muchas de las cuestiones analizadas podrían estar presentes en otros lugares de características similares. Mediante un enfoque multidisciplinar, que transita fuentes documentales que provienen de la traductología, de los estudios de género, de la antropología y de la sociología, y a partir de la investigación realizada por el proyecto “Speak Out for Support” (sos-vics), se abre un debate al que no se le ha dado la relevancia que le corresponde en la academia: la conveniencia de una interpretación feminista para lograr una comunicación equitativa.
Retranslation as Feminist Re-visioning: La casa de los espíritus into Brazilian Portuguese
Authors: Berton Costa Pâmela
Published: March 2020

Los últimos años han visto un renovado interés en los estudios feministas de la traducción. Sin embargo, aún no hay consenso sobre cuál es la mejor manera de aplicar efectivamente estrategias feministas a la traducción, especialmente en el caso de textos literarios. En este trabajo, a partir de una comparación anterior entre el original La casa de los espíritus, de la escritora chilena Isabel Allende, y la única traducción disponible para el portugués brasileño, se discuten opciones de retraducción feminista. Aunque el libro hace parte del post-boom latinoamericano, que muchos estudiosos consideran como un movimiento literario feminista, la traducción parece borrar de forma consistente aspectos feministas de la narrativa. Este estudio pretende mostrar que una retraducción literaria feminista puede poner en evidencia aspectos de un texto que fueron ignorados anteriormente. Es importante destacar que no se pretende “corregir a un mal traductor”, sino reflexionar sobre el papel de la traductora feminista.
ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF SOLUTIONS TO EQUATIONS WITH REGULAR PERTURBATION
Authors: Verovkina G. , Gapyak I. , Samoilenko V. , Telyatnik T.
Published: March 2020

For a quadratic equation containing a small parameter regularly, and for the Duffing equation with small nonlinearity, their asymptotic solutions are constructed in the form of asymptotic Poincare series for a small parameter. The properties of the obtained asymptotic solutions when a small parameter tends to zero are analyzed. The sense of the theorem on the continuous dependence of the solution on the parameter for systems with regular perturbation is demonstrated. A Taylor series for the exact solution of the quadratic equation with small parameter is compared with its obtained asymptotic expansion. For the Duffing equation with small nonlinearity, we compare the graphs of the exact and asymptotic solutions under the same initial conditions.
