Ruptura y continuidad: la caída de «Mel» Zelaya en perspectiva comparada
Authors: Llanos Mariana , Marsteintredet Leiv
Published: January 2021

Este artículo analiza y compara la deposición del presidente de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, con otras crisis presidenciales acontecidas en América Latina durante la tercera ola de democratización. El trabajo indaga sobre los procedimientos, causas y consecuencias en torno de esta caída presidencial con instrumentos de análisis previstos por la teoría de las rupturas presidenciales. La caída de Zelaya fue producto de una escalada de conflictos interinstitucionales, protagonizados por las elites civiles del país. En perspectiva comparada, el caso se distingue por la intervención de los militares como poder moderador a invitación de las instituciones civiles, la falta de movilización popular antes del golpe y la irrupción de una crisis internacional y conflictos callejeros después de que la caída presidencial tuviera lugar. El caso de Honduras contribuye a la teoría de las rupturas presidenciales al poner el acento en el papel de los militares y el estadio de desarrollo en que se encuentra el régimen político democrático al estallar la crisis.
El caribe nicaragüense en textos de la literatura nacional moderna: de la civilización protectorista a la mulatidad global
Authors: Delgado Aburto Leonel
Published: January 2021

Este artículo analiza algunas de las formas básicas en que la literatura nicaragüense moderna ha concebido la región Caribe, tradicionalmente marginada en los discursos nacionales. Por medio de la comparación de ensayos y narraciones de tres autores canónicos, se plantean diferentes visiones sobre la «otredad» de la región caribeña. En primer lugar, en José Coronel Urtecho, el Caribe se percibe como espacio paradisíaco y precivilizado. En segundo lugar, en Lizandro Chávez Alfaro, el Caribe es un sitio de producción cultural autóctona pero abyecta, dado su estatus neocolonial. En tercer lugar, en un reciente ensayo de Sergio Ramírez, el Caribe se visualiza como la fuente de un nuevo mestizaje acorde con el momento de la globalización. En estos ejemplos, la literatura operaría dentro de los discursos nacionales a partir de marcas coloniales como el designio civilizador, el espacio edénico, el ojo del viajero, la propaganda del mestizaje y la visión abyecta del nativo. Estos elementos son colocados, bien sea del lado de la dominación mestiza, o en proyectos transculturadores de impugnación como el de Chávez Alfaro.
Canal*Motoboy, São Paulo (Brasil): Comunicación para el cambio social
Authors: Dias Gomes Alisson , Das Graças Targino Maria
Published: January 2021

En la actualidad, los medios de comunicación se contraponen a la propagación de los medios alternativos dirigidos a la democratización de informaciones generadas por ciudadanos comunes. El Canal*Motoboy constituye un ejemplo de esa modalidad de comunicación. Su propuesta es consolidar una estructura abierta para dar voz al colectivo de motoboys de São Paulo (SP) en Brasil. Debidamente entrenados y recurriendo al teléfono móvil multimedia, registran su día-a-día en el website Canal*Motoboy. Este artículo analiza este proyecto, a partir de la concepción de la comunicación para el cambio social, una vez que el derecho a la libertad de expresión, históricamente, ha sido expropiado a los ciudadanos por cuenta de la expansión de los conglomerados comunicacionales. Además de la revisión de literatura, el objeto de estudio se ha abordado desde una perspectiva cualitativa a través de la técnica de observación y de entrevista en profundidad para las informaciones de actores del colectivo.
Institucionalización y movilización en Colombia ¿Dos caminos divergentes en la democratización indígena?
Authors: González Catherine
Published: January 2021

En la actualidad, muchos analistas interpretan la institucionalización de los movimientos sociales como una señal de su madurez política y de avance hacia la democratización social. Sin embargo, en el caso de los actuales movimientos sociales de América Latina, dicho fenómeno político muestra la complejidad de los procesos inconclusos relacionados con la anhelada consolidación democrática de la región. En este artículo se revisa hasta qué punto la institucionalización ha favorecido la democratización del movimiento indígena en el sistema político colombiano. Este texto analiza en un primer momento el papel político del movimiento para promover una nación multicultural y pluriétnica, tanto en la Asamblea Constituyente como en lo emanado de la Constitución de 1991. En un segundo momento, se contrastan las lógicas legales de implementación de la participación indígena con las dinámicas propias de estas comunidades nativas. Finalmente se describe la reflexión interna del movimiento después de casi dos décadas de combinar el mantenimiento de su lucha con su institucionalización.
Bilingüismo y educación: la diferenciación social de la lengua escolar
Authors: Ortiz Sandoval Luis
Published: January 2021

En Paraguay, país oficialmente bilingüe, la población nacional posee en acervo dos principales idiomas bien distintos entre sí, tanto en su dimensión léxica, morfológica como sintáctica. Pero, sobre todo, la distinción entre ambos es de carácter sociolingüístico y se expresa en una complejidad de situaciones de uso e interacción. Existen grupos sociales que tienen como lengua única el español; otros tienen como lengua principal el español, pero también hablan el guaraní; otros, por su parte, tienen como lengua principal el guaraní, pero también hablan el español, y, finalmente, un grupo importante de la sociedad tiene como lengua única el guaraní. Tal y como está diseñado el sistema educativo paraguayo, los grupos sociales con mejor desempeño escolar son aquellos cuyo dominio del español, valorado y preferido por la economía y la política, es el más eficiente. Ahora bien, dado que el sistema educativo instauró y oficializó un programa de educación bilingüe, las desigualdades educativas deben ser explicadas según una perspectiva que toma en cuenta las variedades sociolingüísticas, de modo a mostrar qué factores explican esas desigualdades y qué respuesta dan las clases populares a su condición desfavorecida en la estructura social.
Cinco malas palabras para insultar mujeres en la Nueva España
Authors: Rubio Estrada Nancy
Published: January 2021

Este ensayo pretende aproximarse a las raíces sociales, culturales e históricas de la Nueva España a través de un análisis sincrónico de cinco malas palabras utilizadas durante la época colonial para insultar mujeres. Ciertos de la unión que existe entre la lengua, el pensamiento y la cultura de toda sociedad, resulta importante aproximarnos al estudio de nuestra lengua, indagar en los indicios que entraña su estudio respecto a la forma de pensar, comprender e interactuar con el mundo físico de nuestros antepasados y reflexionar cuántos de ellos, ya sea vagos e imprecisos o asombrosamente concretos, permanecen y constituyen nuestro propio imago mundi.
Petíció az abortusz-szabadság megőrzéséért 1973 (2. rész)
Authors: Körösi Zsuzsa
Published: January 2021

Jelen tanulmány tárgya a nagyrészt feledésbe merült, a nők abortusz-jogának megszigorítása ellen szervezett 1973-as petíció-akció. A szerző, aki maga is aktív résztvevő, rekonstruálja a petíció történetét Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár (MNL), az Állambiztonági Szolgálatok Történeti Levéltár (ÁBTL) kutatók számára rendelkezésre álló dokumentumai, a Blinken OSA Archívumban található dokumentumok, valamint a petíció-akció 19 résztvevőjével készített interjúk felhasználásával. Az interjúk legépelt formában a Blinken OSA Archívumban olvashatók (HU OSA 432, Körösi Zsuzsa interjúgyűjteménye). Az alábbi cikk a második rész. Az első rész a Magyar Népi Demokrácia népességpolitikáját vázolta fel, annak konzervatív fejlődését 1956 és 1973 között. Ez az elnyomó politikai kontextus vezetett a nők abortusz-jogának megszigorításához, ami a petíció szervezését váltotta ki. Ez a II. rész három fő kérdésre ad választ az intejúalanyok véleményének tükrében: mit jelentett a „szabad” abortusz a nők és férfiak számára 1956 és 1973 között; mi tekinthető a petíció ideológiai gyökereinek; illetve a szervezésében résztvevők motivációi és a hatalom szankció, melyekkel a résztvevőknek számolnia kellett.
RURAL TOURISM AS A TOOL FOR IMPROVING THE RURAL ECONOMY OF THE REGION
Authors: Kalugina N. A. , Moldazhanov M. B. , Purichi V. V.
Published: January 2021

The article discusses the development of rural tourism. Attention is drawn to the forms and methods of promoting services in this sphere of tourism, which is especially important during a period of growing relevance of domestic tourism and a change in the paradigm of recreation. The authors point out that the promotion of rural tourism should be associated not only with the search for technical methods of promotion, but also with a change in the socio-cultural paradigm of perception of rural tourism as a sphere of organization of recreation and recreation.

The authors attach great importance to rural tourism as a business sector capable of exerting a positive influence on the rural economy in the conditions of a general crisis in rural areas and the degradation of rural settlements. Today as never before conservation of rural space as economically active and socially sustainable is the most important task.

This is especially true for the Altai Territory. The agrarian-industrial region is experiencing serious economic and social problems related both to changes in the structure of the regional economy and degradation of rural areas. One of the tools tactive for optimizing the state of rural areas in the Altai Region can be rural tourism, which is actively developing and requires high attention from both science and government agencies, the sphere of activity.

Against the intensive studies of the genetic composition of early nomads from the Altai-Sayan mountain system, a number of Scythian populations from the adjacent forest-steppe zone remain unexplored by paleogenetic methods. This article presents the first results of a paleogenetic study of the Staroaleisk culture carriers from the Firsovo-XIV burial ground in the Barnaul Ob region. Analysis of a small series of mitochondrial DNA samples (N = 10) confirmed the participation of populations associated with the autochthonous genetic substrate of the southern regions of Western Siberia in the formation of the genetic composition of the Staroaleisk population (specific composition of the Western Eurasian component of the mtDNA gene pool and the presence of autochthonous Eastern Eurasian A10 haplogroup). We showed the presence of mtDNA (lineages of haplogroups A8 and A11) in the Staroaleisk population, which testifies to its genetic ties with the carriers of the Scythian-Siberian cultures who inhabited the territories to the east of the Upper Ob region – the Altai- Sayan mountain system, Tuva and adjacent regions of Central Asia. Thus, paleogenetic data indicate that the genetic composition of the Sratoaleisk population was formed under the conditions of the genetic interaction between autochthonous populations of the region, whose genetic roots go back to the Bronze Age, and newly migrated groups who were carriers of the cultural traditions of the Scythian-time nomads. Taking into account the informative value of the first genetic results, we can expect a significant detailing of ethnogenetic processes reconstructions with increasing of DNA samples from the Staroaleisk population, analysis of additional genetic markers (Y-chromosome) and obtaining data on the gene pool of other early Iron Age populations from the Upper Ob region and adjacent regions of the South Siberia.

Published: January 2021

The results of morphological examination of horse remains from the Pazyryk burials the North-Western Altai indicate a high similarity of buried animals in the height at the withers, size and proportions of their bones. Only stallions were buried in the Khankarinsky Dol, Inskoy Dol and Chineta-II burial mounds. Horses from these mounds were morphologically similar to the horses from other Pazyryk burials. The distinctive features of the Pazyryk burials in North-Western Altai are the higher proportion of young horses in the burials and the absence of animals which are above 144 cm at the withers. However, Pazyryk horses from Khankarinsky Dol, Inskoy Dol and Chineta-II burial mounds differ significantly in the size and proportions of the bones from horses which belonged to the previous Arzhano-Mayemir period of the Sayan region and the Bulan-Koby culture of the Xiongnu-Xianbei-Rouran period of the Altai. The morphological differences illustrate local characteristics of animals in the past times.

Published: January 2021

The coins discovered in Altai and the South of the Upper Ob region during archaeological excavations of Early Medieval sites are important chronological indicators. They also reflect the results of ethno-cultural and military-political interaction between different groups of the population during this period. The article provides a detailed analysis of two Chinese coins stored in the Biysk Museum of local lore (Altai territory) and originating from the well-known burial mound Srostki-I. In addition to the history of their study, detailed descriptions and comprehensive illustrations are presented for the first time. Based on the current data on the Chinese coins and the results of x-ray fluorescence testing, new grounds for dating the considered products are given. This information is supplemented by a summary of other similar finds from the sites of the territory under consideration. This information indicates the need for further study of numismatic materials that are known in certain regions of North Asia.
A szénlábnyom mérése – Fókuszban a közúti áruszállítás és raktározás (Measurement the carbon footprint – focus on road transport and warehousing)
Authors: Barna Zsolt , Gelei Andrea
Published: January 2021

Mai világunkban egyre több olyan erőforrást élünk fel, amelyek hatását az otthonunknak számító Föld egyszerűen már nem képes helyreállítani. Ebben számos jelenség mellett a gazdaság globalizációja, az élesedő versenyhelyzet, a fogyasztói társadalom további térnyerése, ebből adódóan pedig a logisztikai folyamatok intenzitásának növekedése kulcsszerepet játszik. A logisztikát érő kritikáknak ösztönözniük kell a vállalatok szakembereit arra, hogy változtassanak ezen. Ehhez elengedhetetlen a jelenlegi működés szénlábnyomának mérése. Csak a jelenállapot felmérése szolgálhat alapjául a fejlesztéseknek. A szerzők tanulmányának célja a szénlábnyomszámítás egy gyakorlati alkalmazásának ismertetése. Esettanulmány jelleggel bemutatják egy nagy nemzetközi vállalat hazai leányvállalatának a szénlábnyom-számítása során alkalmazott módszertanát. A számítások során a vállalat disztribúciós logisztikai folyamataira fókuszálnak, kiemelten vizsgálták a közúti szállítás és a raktározás széndioxid-kibocsátását. Számításaikban igyekeztek pontosak lenni, a hazai energiamixre számolt legfrissebb konverziós faktorokkal számoltak. Meggyőződésük, hogy az ilyen esettanulmányok hasznosak, hiszen a bemutatott módszertan mintául, útmutatásul szolgálhat további vállalatok számára. Reményeik szerint ezzel segíthetik, hogy minél több hazai vállalat kezdje el széndioxid-kibocsátásának szisztematikus és tudományos alapokon nyugvó mérését. ____ Due to globalization, intense competition and the consumer society logistics processes have been intensified during the last decades. This led to increased environmental strain generating intense criticism towards logistics profession. In order to decrease the environmental burden of logistics several professionals and companies have tried to make progress in this field and introduced techniques that are capable to measure the Carbon Footprint of logistics. Still public case studies are very limited. The paper presents the case of the Hungarian subsidiary of a big multinational FMCG firm. Calculations are built on the actual conversion factor developed for the Hungarian energy mix. A complex set of key performance indi actors usable to capture key characteristics of the present situation is presented. Not only the constructs of these KPIs are described in the paper but a detailed description of methodology used to calculate them is also given. The authors hope such detailed case study description will help other companies as well to initiate sustainable logistics programs.

Authors: Da Rosa Rafaela , Romanini Moises
Published: January 2021

Parte significativa das famílias cria um roteiro de vida, planeja e idealiza a vida do(a) seu(sua) filho(a) baseada em princípios heteronormativos, uma vez que a revelação de sua orientação sexual acaba por provocar uma ruptura destes sonhos. Esse artigo apresenta uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi o de conhecer as percepções de jovens homo e bissexuais sobre os sentimentos e reações dos pais frente à revelação de sua orientação sexual. A metodologia utilizada foi através da abordagem qualitativa, com pesquisa exploratória, sendo utilizado como instrumento metodológico a narrativa não estruturada com 9 jovens de 14 a 18 anos. As entrevistas narrativas foram gravadas e transcritas, tendo sido submetidas à análise narrativa. Os saberes e as percepções desses jovens sobre o “sair do armário” constituíram uma narrativa coletiva, com a contribuição teórica de alguns autores que subsidiaram a discussão.
A RETIRADA DOS TERMOS “IGUALDADE DE GÊNERO E ORIENTAÇÃO SEXUAL” DO PLANO NACIONAL DE EDUCAÇÃO – PNE 2014-2024
Authors: Mendes Patrícia de Oliveira e Silva Pereira
Published: January 2021

Trata-se de um artigo de pesquisa documental para a retirada dos termos de igualdade de gênero e de orientação sexual do Plano Nacional de Educação – PNE 2014-2024, notadamente na análise dos enunciados de parlamentares. O procedimento metodológico baseou-se em M. Bakhtin e J. Rancière. Nos relatos de Parlamentares contrários foram identificados aspectos relacionados à compreensão essencialista da existência, com argumentos constituídos por meio de uma compreensão biológica e a-histórica, também vinculados às crenças e valores fundamentados nos preceitos religiosos. Nas falas de deputados/as favoráveis os enunciados expressaram a escuta de vozes dos movimentos de Direitos Humanos e o conhecimento das violências presentes no racismo, na homofobia e nas desigualdades de gênero. Constata-se a gravidade dos retrocessos que se configuram no campo político e a importância de debater nos espaços educativos o comprometimento de ações que abordem e implementem na matriz curricular a diversidade sexual.

Authors: Shimekit Tesfamariam , Tizazu Getnet
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this study was to understand teacher leaders’ role in school improvement program. More specifically, examined how teacher leaders formally or informally lead school improvement; what potential challenges they face when attempting to lead school improvement; and what strategies /mechanisms they employ to improve teacher leadership role in school improvement process were the basic questions of the study. In-depth interviews with five teacher leaders and field notes were used to collect data. The data were tape recorded and then transcribed. Categories themes and patterns from data i.e. inductive analysis were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that, teacher leaders lead school improvement by different methods like collaboration, effective planning, and experience sharing, influencing others by their hardworking habit and, communicating with school community. Besides, teacher leaders face different challenges in leading school improvement such as lack of leadership and management skill, time constraints and absence of recognition and incentive. In sum, the school improvement process is not being led by teacher leaders due to different challenges. Therefore, education leaders should enhance teacher leadership by promoting and supporting teacher leadership role and Policy makers should develop a platform for teacher leadership to enhance teacher leaders’ role in school improvement program.
Assessment of Nigerian Newspapers’ Reportage of Violence against Children: Case Study of Daily Sun and Punch National Newspapers
Authors: Nkwam-Uwaoma Adeline .O. , Ndukwu Mishack
Published: January 2021

Traditionally, child rearing in Nigeria closely reflects the “spare the rod and spoil the child” maxim and as such spanking, flogging, slapping, beating and evening starving a child as a form of punishment for wrong doing and as a method of behavior modification are common. These are not necessarily considered as maltreatment or abuse of the child. Despite the adoption and implementation of the Child Rights Act in Nigeria, violence against children seems to be on a steady increase. Stories of sexual molestation, rape, child labour, infliction of physical injuries and use of children for rituals by parents, guardians and other members of the society abound. Violence against children is considered as those acts by other persons especially adults that undermine and threaten the healthy life and existence of children or those that violet their rights as humans. In Nigeria newspapers are a major source of News, second only to radio and television in coverage, currency and content. National dailies are newspapers with daily publications and national spread or coverage. This study analyzed the frequency, length, prominence level, direction and sources of information reported on violence against children in the selected national daily newspapers. It then provided information on the role of the newspapers in Nigeria in the fight against child violence and public awareness of the impact of violence against children on development of the nation and the attempts to curtail such violence. The composite week sampling technique in which the four weeks of the month are reduced to one and a sample is randomly selected from each day of the week was used. As such 168 editions of Daily Sun and Punch newspapers published from January to December of 2016 were selected. Data were collected using code sheet and analyzed via content analysis. The result showed that the frequency of the newspapers’ reportage of violence against children in Nigeria was low. Again, it was found that the length or space given to reports on violence against children was inadequate,  the direction of the few reports on violence against children was in favor of the course or fight against child violence and these newspapers gave no prominence to reports on violence against children. Finally, it was found that major source of news about violence against children was through journalism; government and individual sources provided only minimal information.

Authors: Manuel Amininiye Macgregor , Asuquo Ntiedo
Published: January 2021

This study investigated the relationship between parenting styles and subjective well-being among undergraduate youths in the University of Port Harcourt using the correlational research design. The study was guided by five research questions and their corresponding null hypotheses. The sample for the study was composed of 400 undergraduate students drawn using the purposive sampling technique. Two instruments were used for data collection which were the parenting style inventory and the subjective well-being inventory. The instruments were assessed for reliability and validity and were shown to be suitable. Data analysis was done using linear regression and multiple regression for answering the research questions, while ANOVA associated with linear and multiple regression were used to test the null hypotheses. Result showed that authoritative parenting style had the highest independent prediction on the subjective well- being of youths, while authoritarian had the least independent prediction. On the basis of the result obtained, it was recommended that parents adopt the authoritative parenting style when dealing with their children so as to achieve an optimal state of subjective well-being.
Emerging Evidence of the Value of Culturally Specific Organizations: Results of a Delphi and Consumer Voice Study
Authors: Curry-Stevens Ann
Published: January 2021

A set of culturally specific organizations in Portland, Oregon has been generating excellent results for clients and communities of color. Four of them have developed a collective impact initiative to reduce child poverty among communities of color, with backbone support from United Way, and the inclusion of one “culturally responsive” organization. This research seeks to answer, “How do these organizations achieve excellent results with clients of color?” Our answer, through a two-part Delphi and Consumer Voice study, identifies a far-ranging set of assets, only part of which are staffing characteristics. These assets have been affirmed by a statistically significant survey of consumers, encompassing the following nine domains: being community embedded, creating a culture of success, being responsive to community needs, advocating to improve community and client success, being culturally relevant, and providing a comprehensive continuum of services. Delivery attributes include relying heavily on a rich relationship model, being inclusive, and having staff be personally invested in client success. Clients confirmed that all nine domains are important to their lives, and rated their overall satisfaction with the organizations at 92.7%, far above the published national average of 77%. The paper concludes with a synthesis of the study’s relevance for policy makers, funders and practitioners.
Social housing for urban households sheltering children responsible for the "kuluna" and "black babies" phenomena in Congo Brazzaville.
Authors: Ndongo Alain Symphorien
Published: January 2021

Housing as a place where household members spend about half (12 hours) of their daily time, including six to eight hours in sleep, is one of the essential conditions in the fight against poverty and precariousness.  The current Congolese urban environment is facing serious problems: small plots of land, lack of suitable housing in relation to the size and composition of households, overcrowding, and water and electricity supplies. This situation is becoming critical with the appearance of deviant behavior among children aged between 10 and 30. The government and its development partners have demonstrated their powerlessness face to this situation, leaving thousands of children on the streets without education or family warmth to form real criminal gangs. These street children have created the phenomena of "kuluna" and "black babies". It has been shown that these one act in this way for their survival, claiming their rights. In this study, we find innovative proposals to provide households sheltering adulterine and adoptive children with low-cost social housing, in order to restore the image of the head of the household and provide the children with a pleasant space for their physical, economic, cultural and spiritual development. This will undoubtedly help to find solutions to the problems facing children and indeed Congolese society as a whole today. The study revealed that if the government does not take practical measures in response to the phenomena created by wayward children, especially "black babies" and "kuluna", there will be a massive adherence of other children, especially the adulterine and adoptive ones. There will be a risk of the phenomena will to be exported to rural areas. The study recommends a "State - Household" partnership in the manufacture of new types of urban housing for households housing children likely to integrate or create gangs, jeopardizing social order and public security.
Multi-level Governance of Integration Policy. Role of the Cities. Comparison of Warsaw and Prague
Authors: Matusz Patrycja , Pawlak Mikołaj
Published: January 2021

This paper analyses the role of the cities in the multi-level governance of integration policy. The goal was to analyse the relations of diverse actors in a multi-level governance context and the direct impact of the transnational EU policy to local level actors (that also bypassed the national level). We show how the interconnection of policy levels and the presence of actors in many roles in the process of developing immigrant integration policies resulted in the top-down transfer of policy goals. We also highlight the converse perspective and demonstrate how bottom-up policy initiatives strengthen the position of cities as important players in the multilevel governance, both individually and collectively.
Experimental investigation on steam/nitrogen condensation characteristics inside horizontal enhanced condensation channels
Authors: Wen Jianjun , Zheng Dan , Li Yike , Chen Zhanxiu
Published: January 2021

In order to investigate heat transfer characteristics of steam/nitrogen condensation inside horizontal enhanced condensation channels (HECCs), experiments have been performed, respectively, inside HECC and horizontal circular channel (HCC). HECC is formed by inserting different reinforcers into HCC including horizontal multi-start straight channels (HMSSCs) and horizontal spiral channels (HSCs). Effects of nitrogen mass fractions on average condensation heat transfer coefficients (CHTCs), average outlet condensate mass flowrates (CMFRs), and average steam-side pressure drops (SSPDs) are analyzed, respectively. The results indicate that HECC has better condensation performance than HCC under the same conditions, while average SSPDs of HECC will increase slightly. Then, HMSSC is compared against HCC, and enhancement factors of average CHTCs and average outlet CMFRs are about 1.45 and 1.12, respectively, while the enlargement factor of average SSPDs is about 1.16. Similarly, HSC is compared against HCC, and enhancement factors of average CHTCs and average outlet CMFRs are about 1.25 and 1.05, respectively, while the enlargement factor of average SSPDs is about 1.12.

Authors: Fu Xinghua , Wang Youqiang , Yu Chulin , Zhang Haiqing , Wang Jin , Gao Bingjun
Published: January 2021

The thermal-hydraulic performance of a new parallel-flow shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) with equilateral cross-sectioned wire coil (HCBetwc-STHX) is investigated in turbulent regime. Four different surrogate models are established to predict the thermal-hydraulic performance. Their merits and drawbacks are illustrated. The results show that the Nuetwc/NuRRB and f
etwc/f
RRB are in the range of 1.1638–1.855 and 4.078–16.062, respectively. The precision of CFM is the lowest, whereas the precision of radial basis function + artificial neural network and Kriging model is the highest. A good balance can be achieved by response surface methodology between precision and cost. Finally, a general analysis procedure is presented for the predicting method of thermal-hydraulic performance of different STHX with relatively small cost and high precision.
COVID-19 and housing. Experiences of confined families with children under four years old at home
Authors:   Universidad de La Rioja, Serrano-Martínez Cecilia
Published: January 2021

COVID-19 has brought a number of situations such as home office, unemployment, illness, cessation of face-to-face educational activities, etc., which generate psychosocial problems and increase the social gap between people in vulnerability situation. Housing is one of the pillars that can generate greater inequalities and increase it in a confined context. The goal of this study is to know the condition of housing and the experiences of families with children under four years old during the confinement in Spain. This research analyses 83 responses received from a questionnaire carried out during the third week after the end of the alarm state. The design of this survey is based on the 682 responses collected during the first weeks of the quarantine produced by COVID-19. The families give greater value to housing, due the centrality it occupies in their daily life. This study demonstrates the need to prevent and face future crises by incorporating psychosocial measures adapted to these new realities.

La inquietante preocupación surgida a partir de la problemática sobre la sostenibilidad del planeta presentada por el informe Burtland en 1987, y la necesidad de optimizar los procesos logísticos como estrategia para la generación de ventajas competitivas, ha derivado en una importante apuesta en la que se han establecido con ma- yor fuerza que en años anteriores, conceptos como la optimización, aprovechamiento y eficiencia, que, desde el desarrollo económico como social, permiten reconocer, el resultado de la incidencia de la racionalidad industrial en la objetivación y cosificación del mundo. La globalización, hoy más que nunca, determina la forma como se mueven las cosas a través del planeta. La definición de cadenas pro- ductivas genera la posibilidad de incluir una gran diversidad de países y de negocios y, en consecuencia, la búsqueda de la eficiencia, por parte de las empresas, dando lugar a formas complejas de entender y desarrollar la relación producción-distribución con el fin de que sea más veloz y menos costosa
Tercera parte. Pedagogía ambiental y prácticas sostenibles. Capítulo 12. Consumo responsable de servicios públicos domiciliarios en Colombia

Según la Política Nacional, para consolidar el Sistema de Ciudades en Colombia, el país tendrá en el año 2035 más de 64 ciudades con más de 100 mil habitantes, en las cuales habitarán el 83% de la población en más de 5 millones de nuevos hogares (CONPES, 2014). En este sentido, es prioritario avanzar en consumos responsables de los servicios públicos domiciliarios para que la provisión de éstos se encuentre garantizada en un horizonte de mediano plazo. El concepto de consumo responsable tiene su origen en los años sesenta con el surgimiento del consumo verde (Hendarwan, 2002). El consumo verde según Elkington y Hailes (1989) es aquel que evita el consumo de bienes que de alguna manera ponen en peligro la salud del consumidor o que causan un daño relevante al eco sistema. Recientemente, Akehurst, Alfonso y Goncalves (2012) y Dueñas, Perdomo-Ortiz y Villa (2014) han definido al consumo responsable como el acto de usar bienes o productos conservando el medio ambiente que lo cobija y la calidad de vida de futuros consumidores.
Figurative Language in the German-Speaking Press Abroad
Authors: Földes Csaba
Published: January 2021

This article is based on the understanding that figurative linguistic signs are in general a common research topic in the media language but represent a desideratum especially with regard to the German-speaking press abroad. Against this background, some of the figurative and formulaic related observations as well as the results of a current research project are thematised and discussed. The primary goal is a focused evidence-based analysis – more precisely: a theory-based qualitative exploration – of special features of figurative language use in three German-language minority newspapers from Russia, Kazakhstan and Hungary. In addition, manifestations of culturality are developed in the analysed media discourse, which is characterised by multilingualism and interculturality or rather transculturality. The approach is not normative and error-analytical, but descriptive and primarily contact- or intercultural-oriented.Among other things, it was found that the empirical database provided only relatively few figurative phrases. The findings include that other textual mechanisms prevail and due to the multilingual settings the text producers adopt fixed syntactic schemes from the contact languages. On the producer side, a German-based figurative language is generally used, but it is congruent with the figurativity of the respective contact language (in the present case: Russian, Kazakh and Hungarian), including Russian/Kazakh/Hungarian-oriented framings. In this context, the dominant feature is constituted of (virulent or latent) language contact-related phenomena with some dynamics: primarily transference formations of different kinds. At the same time, it cannot be ignored that the language and text (types) competence and especially the figurative competence of the text producers in the area of conceptual-writing skills vary widely and are often not comparable to those of federal German journalists.
Cardiac MRI to Manage Atrial Fibrillation

Published: January 2021

AF is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. In addition to the severe effect on quality of life, patients with AF are at higher risk of stroke and mortality. Recent studies have suggested that atrial and ventricular substrate play a major role in the development and maintenance of AF. Cardiac MRI has emerged as a viable tool for interrogating the underlying substrate in AF patients. Its advantage includes localisation and quantification of structural remodelling. Cardiac MRI of the atrial substrate is not only a tool for management and treatment of arrhythmia, but also to individualise the prevention of stroke and major cardiovascular events. This article provides an overview of atrial imaging using cardiac MRI and its clinical implications in the AF population.

Authors: Islam Md. Rafiqul , Akter Nure , Kamrujjaman Mohammad
Published: January 2021

Background and purposes:

Adolescent age is more vulnerable compared with an adult for a sports injury. Several sports-related factors are responsible for the injury. The purpose of the study is to explore sports injuries among club-based adolescent male players.

Methods:

The Cross-sectional study design was applied at different residence clubs in Dhaka city. A 201 male adolescent player age range 11-19 years with different categories included in this study. A self-structured questionnaire was developed, in which data were collected by face to face interview with the assistance of physiotherapist, coaches and trainers. Sports injury severity was graded and ranging by the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS).  Data analysis was operated with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Version 20) and P-value employed as the level of significance (<0.05).

Results:

Results indicated that the prevalence of sports injury was extremely high among Dhaka-based club adolescent male players. Injuries among cricket players were substantially high compared to other category sports. Some factors like warm-up training and BMI were the key causes of these injuries. Shoulder, hip/thigh, knee/legs and spine were the common prevalent sites of injury recorded in this study. Most of the injuries initiated as a moderate level of severity. There was a significant association to sports injury with BMI (p-value 0.004<0.05) and warm-up training (p-value 0.007<0.05). However, there was a highly significant relation found of sports injury with age (0.000<0.05) and types of play (0.000<0.05).

Conclusion:

Sports injuries are remarkably high in Dhaka-based club adolescent male players. BMI and warm-up training are the key factors for the injury. Injury awareness and proper fitness training may help to minimize the injury.

RESUMO O cultivo da beterraba tem se expandido devido ao consumo in natura e também pelo processamento industrial de conservas. No entanto, a cercosporiose, causada por Cercospora beticola Sacc. é a principal doença comprometendo a produtividade da cultura. Poucos trabalhos tem sido feitos sobre a epidemiologia da doença no Brasil, por isso, o objetivo do trabalho foi caracterizar o progresso temporal e espacial da doença nas condições de cultivo na região Sul do Brasil. Sementes de beterraba da cultivar Boro foram semeadas em quatro blocos de 250 plantas . A incidência foliar inicial da doença na linha da semeadura foi utilizada para a análise espacial pelos testes de ‘run’ e ‘doublet’ e os dados analisados pelo valor (±1,64) estandardizado no teste de ‘Z’ a 5% de probabilidade. Posteriormente, a severidade da doença foi estimada em 80 plantas utilizando a escala diagramática, em dez plantas ao acaso previamente demarcadas e os dados foram ajustados a um modelo não linear ao longo do ciclo da cultura. Constatou-se que o padrão espacial da doença foi acima de 99% ao acaso para ambos os testes. A curva de progresso da doença ajustou-se melhor ao modelo de Gompertz, representada por y= 0,122771*(exp(12,830900*exp(-0,35870*x))). Esse estudo servirá de modelo para trabalhos futuros de manejo da doença.

ABSTRACT Plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cultivation is seriously compromised in Brazil due to the occurrence of leaf scald, a disease caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex. The objective of this study was to evaluate plum genotypes agronomically promising for resistance to leaf scald, under natural conditions of occurrence of the disease. Ten out of 50 plum genotypes belonging to the germplasm bank of “Instituto Agronômico do Paraná (IAPAR)” were selected. Five evaluations of leaf scald severity were carried out from January to February (2017 and 2018). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was also performed for samples of these genotypes to determine the presence of the bacterium X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex. The genotypes differed in relation to their susceptibility to leaf scald. PR-1095 was the most resistant genotype and did not show any leaf symptom of the disease. In contrast, genotypes PR-1126 and PR-1137 had the greatest susceptibility to the disease, showing severe scald symptoms. However, PCR revealed the presence of the bacterium even in the most resistant genotypes, indicating, for example, that PR-1095, which had no symptoms of the disease, is probably tolerant to leaf scald.
Evolução temporal da função de distribuição de sistemas unidimensionais
Authors: LLacctarímay César Juan Alarcón
Published: January 2021

A dinâmica no espaço de fase cumpre papel importante em sistemas de muitas partículas que caminham para o equilíbrio. Neste trabalho, estudamos tal dinâmica em alguns sistemas unidimensionais: (i) pêndulos não lineares e não interagentes; e (ii) muitas partículas interagindo gravitacionalmente. A evolução temporal de sistemas com muitas partículas, em regime não colisional, é governada pela equação de Vlasov, a qual resolvemos numericamente. As equações originais são separadas em equações de transporte via método splitting de Lie. Usa-se o método numérico fluxo positivo e conservativo, com um limitador de inclinação de tipo monotonized central-difference (MC). Apesar de apresentarmos soluções de problemas comuns da área, as discussões detalhadas não são frequentes. Logo este trabalho pode ser explorado no ensino de física.
