A consideration of the cultural differences in the undergraduate medical curriculum of the West and Asia: Reflections triggered by observations made at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU)
Authors: Hayashi Mikio
Published: December 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. I participated in an international fellowship exchange program at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) in Pennsylvania, USA. Through this fellowship, I was able to obtain an overview of the undergraduate medical curriculum taught at this university. Although I have contemplated the differences between medical education at TJU and the syllabus taught in Japan, I caution that one cannot directly transfer the components of TJU program to universities in Japan because of the dissimilar cultural contexts of Western countries and Asian nations. I believe that the focus of undergraduate medical education requires careful consideration of specific socio-cultural backgrounds.

Case Law as an Authoritative Source of Customary Law: Piecemeal Recording of (Living) Customary Law?
Authors: Rautenbach Christa
Published: December 2019

This contribution deals with the question of whether a judgment from a mainstream court dealing with customary law can be regarded as authority and thus as a recording of a customary rule or rules. When a mainstream court develops customary law to promote constitutional values or strikes customary law down for want of constitutionality, it creates new rules which are written down but which can easily be changed when society brings it to court and convinces the court that the rule needs to be changed. It is my contention that case law is a binding source of law, including customary law, which must be followed until such time that it is either absorbed into legislation or amended by a subsequent decision in terms of the principle of stare decisis. It gives us some measure of assurance as to the law to be followed. The high number of customary law disputes taken to a court of law is confirmation that traditional communities are embracing the power of the courts to settle their disputes. The judgments of these courts inevitably become the origins of customary rules that they develop and can thus be regarded as piecemeal recording of (living) customary law.
Prisión perpetua en Colombia. Análisis de las iniciativas legislativas para su autorización, y de los argumentos «racionales» para su incorporación en el ordenamiento colombiano
Authors: Cáceres-González Emiro
Published: December 2019

En Colombia se han presentado alrededor de dieciséis proyectos de acto legislativo para modificar el artículo 34 de la Constitución, y así suprimir la prohibición de penas perpetuas; el más reciente ha sido el proyecto de Acto Legislativo 001 de 2019, cuyo contenido consagra que la pena, solamente será revisable, pasados treinta años de privación efectiva de la libertad. La publicación pretende rastrear los intentos realizados por el legislador, para incorporar dicha sanción, y revisar los argumentos usados para justificarla. Así mismo demostrar la precaria racionalidad incorporada a las exposiciones de motivos, a los debates legislativos en comisión y plenaria, el carente sustento empírico, su débil justificación, y el uso en su remplazo, de un ya común populismo punitivo, con el que se contraviene además de la Constitución, el Reglamento del Congreso y los pronunciamientos de la Corte Constitucional sobre legislación reflexiva.
Apuntes político-criminales en torno a la corrupción pública como delincuencia socioeconómica organizada. El caso español
Authors: Terradillos Basoco Juan
Published: December 2019

La corrupción pública, sobre todo en forma de “gran corrupción”, participa de los caracteres de la criminalidad económica organizada. Por tanto, la política criminal frente a los delitos de corrupción debe inicialmente promover las reformas de derecho penal y procesal tendentes a prevenir las conductas de funcionarios corruptos y de particulares corruptores. Pero debe también implementar políticas de amplio alcance tendentes a neutralizar los factores criminógenos (pro-corrupción) integrados en el sistema de economía globalizada.

SCIENTIFIC FEAT OF IGOR KACHUROVSKYI
Authors: Tkachenko Anatoliy
Published: December 2019

Іgor Kachurovskyi is a poet, prose writer, translator, literary critic. The author of article-essay dwells only on literary criticism of his hypostasis, and more specifically – poetry. Metrics, strophics, phonics, generics, literary stylistics is his scientific element and his heroic activity.

The unique character of the philologist is his free mastery of material and free engagement of illustrations also from his own artistic practice, sometimes polemical unention of authority, and even though the deliberate encouragement of the reader to a dispute or just to not dogmatic thinking. The original observation of the non-absolute syllabic, the presence of metric syllables in it and those that the researcher called grammatical, and it seems that they are should better be described as rhythmovaria- tional, because not changing the meter, they vary the rhythm ( we talk about not grammar but about rhythm and its metric dimensions). Thoughts about metric pluravalency that is multidimensionality of some textx are very interesting and important.

A specialist in poetry is persuasive in his opinion about types of rhythm and clauses. Why should we use borrowed French terms a “male” clause (and rhyme), a female clause (and rhyme) when the French themselves have already reduced “female” stresses? In addition, the terminological series of “male” – “female” – “dactylic” – “hyperadactic” is not successive. It would be better in the following way: choreic – yambic – dactylic ... As for a clause, then the Greek terms “oxytone”, “paroxytone”, “proparoxytone” are bulky. The best is to use clear digital terms – 1-syllable, 2-syllable, 3-syllable, 4-syllable, 5-syllable... and even 5-syllable clause.

The approach of I. Kachurovskyi to phonics was much more systematic comparatively with “continental” literary criticism. His phonics reaches a binary opposition euphony / cacophony. It gives grounds to a deeper structuring of these phenomena in dimen- sions paradigmatics / syntagmatics.

Published: December 2019

Nos últimos anos, avanços importantes foram estabelecidos nos critérios diagnósticos do diabetes mellitus e no conhecimento de novas estratégias de tratamento e controle como o exercício aeróbico e resistido. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura acerca dos benefícios do treinamento aeróbico e resistido na redução da glicemia em jejum de diabéticos tipo 2. Na pesquisa foram utilizados artigos publicados entre os anos de 1992 a 2017, nos bancos de dados:  Google Acadêmico, Bireme, Scielo e Pub Med. O Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 é uma patologia, em que as células β do pâncreas apresentam um déficit na síntese e liberação de insulina resultando um quadro hiperglicêmico, sendo observado que o treinamento aeróbio facilita a redução da glicemia sanguínea. Já o treino resistido favorece a captação de glicose, por meio da contração muscular, através do receptor GLUT-4, reduzindo a hiperglicemia em jejum nessa patologia. No treino aeróbio e combinado houve redução, mas não tanto quanto o resistido. Em conclusão, foi observado que para a redução da glicemia em jejum no diabetes tipo 2, o exercício resistido é a modalidade mais indicada, tendo como alternativa o combinado por fazer uma junção do aeróbio e resistido em uma sessão de exercícios, favorecendo maior qualidade de vida aos diabéticos. Palavras-chave: Glicemia. Jejum. Treinamento Resistido. Qualidade de Vida. AbstractIn recent years important advances have been made in the diagnostic criteria of diabetes mellitus and in the knowledge of new treatment and control strategies such as aerobic and resistance exercise. Thus, the objective of the present study was to perform a literature review about the benefits of aerobic and resistance training in the  fasting glycemia reduction in type 2 diabetics. In the research, articles published between the years 1992 to 2017 were used in the databases:  Scholar Google, Bireme, Scielo and Pub Med Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is a pathology in which the pancreas β cells present a deficit in the insulin synthesis and release resulting in a hyperglycemic condition, being observed that the aerobic training facilitates the reduction of the blood glucose levels. Resistance training favors the  glucose uptake through muscle contraction by the GLUT-4 receptor, reducing fasting hyperglycemia in this pathology. In the aerobic and combined training there was reduction, but not as much as the resisted one. In conclusion, it was observed that for the reduction of fasting glycemia in type 2 diabetes, resistance exercise is the most indicated modality, having as an alternative the combination of aerobic and resistance in an exercise session favoring a higher quality of life to diabetics people. Keywords: Glycemia.

Dissipation of nitrapyrin (nitrification inhibitor) in subtropical soils
Authors: Srivastava Anjana
Published: December 2019

Nitrapyrin (2-chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine) is a specific nitrifiation inhibitor, applied in soils for reducing the nitrification process of nitrogenous fertilizers. The overall effect of nitrapyrin is enhancing the efficiency of nitrogenous fertilizers in soils and also controlling environmental pollution in water by preventing nitrate leaching in soils. Dissipation of nitrapyrin was evaluated in subtropical soils at two fortification levels of 2 and 4 µg∙g-1. The extraction of nitrapyrin was done by quick, easy, cheap, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method and quantitative analysis – by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Nitrapyrin residues declined consistently with time in both types of soils and were not detectable (
Content and changes in dissolved organic matter in meadow and arable soils over time
Authors: Dębska Bożena
Published: December 2019

Considering the discrepancies in the reports on seasonal changes in the content of  dissolved organic carbon, this paper concerns the research which aimed at defining the content and seasonal changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) in arable and meadow soils in moderate climate conditions. The research has involved the soils sampled in the kujawsko-pomorskie province (Poland). Gleic Phaeozems (meadow soils), Brunic Arenosols and Eutric Cambisols were sampled from the depth of 0-30 cm, 30-60 cm and 60-100 cm, November 2011 through September 2013. The soil samples were analyzed for dry weight content, pH, content of total organic carbon and total nitrogen. DOM was extracted with 0.004 mol·dm-3 CaCl2, in the extracts the content of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved nitrogen (DNt) were assayed. The share of DOC was determined by the soil management. The analysis of variance did not show significant differences in the content of TOC and Nt across the soil sampling dates. Were recorded changes in DOC and DNt between successive sampling dates; for topsoil for DOC – from -12.06% to 13.34% (meadow soils) and for DNt  -40.84% to 47.44% (arable soils).

 
Fitting soil particle-size distribution (PSD) models by PSD curve fitting software
Authors: Rastgou Mostafa , Bayat Hossein , Mansoorizadeh Muharram
Published: December 2019

This paper describes a particle-size distribution (PSD) curve fitting software for analyzing the soil PSD and soil physical properties. A better characterization of soil texture can be obtained by describing the soil PSD using mathematical models. The mathematical equations of soil PSD are mainly used as a basis to estimate the soil hydraulic properties. Until now, many attempts are made to represent PSD curves using mathematical models, but selecting the best PSD model requires fitting all models to the PSD data, which would be difficult and time-consuming. So far, no specific program has been developed to fit the PSD models to the experimental data. A practical user-friendly software called "PSD Curve Fitting Software" was developed and introduced to program a simultaneous fitting of all models on soil PSD data of all samples. Some of the capabilities of this software are calculating evaluation statistics for all models and soils and their statistical properties such as average, standard deviation, minimum and maximum for all models, the amount of models’ fitting parameters and their statistical properties for all soil samples, soil water retention curve by Arya and Paris (1981) and Meskini-Vishkaee et al. (2014) methods, soil hydraulic conductivity by Arya et al. (1999) method, different textural and hydraulic properties, specific surface area, and other descriptive statistics of PSD for all soil samples. All calculated parameters are presented in an output Excel file format by the software. The software runs under Windows XP/7/8/10.
Water holding properties and soil water types in fine textured Vertisol soils of Thrace region in Turkey
Authors: Çakir Recep
Published: December 2019

The study was carried out on 16 selected model soil profiles, located on lands covered with soils exhibiting vertic properties in Thrace Region of Turkey. Different horizons and/or sub-horizons of 16 characteristic soil profiles were evaluated in field or laboratory conditions in terms of water holding capacity and water types properties. Total of 105 soil samples were analyzed for routine physical characteristics. Soil water holding capacity was determined applying negative potentials (Ψ) of -0.33 bar, -15.5 bar and -31.5 bar (pF 2.54; 4.2 and 4.5), using a pressure-membrane extraction apparatus. In addition to gravitational, available, unavailable and hygroscopic soil water types, the soil samples were investigated also in terms of crystal-lattice water content. The highest amounts of the listed water types were determined in soils of Büyük Mandira, Türkgeldi and Seymen containing the highest rates of smectite clay mineral. The mass percentage (Pw) rates of the mentioned water types of the investigated profies varied in the ranges of 29.1–66.3%, 10–2.15%, 22.0–32.4%, 6.0–9.0% and 5.6–8.6%, respectively. Though the mass percentages of enumerated water types in the soils of Osmanli and Yeni Mahalle, all owning high sand and lower clay content on the other hand, are between 28.9–40.6%, 6.1–15.5%, 7.4–16.8%, 2.4–4.8% and 1.7–4.4%, respectively.
O PENSAMENTO FOUCAULTIANO E OS DISCURSOS DA EDUCAÇÃO: ALGUMAS PONDERAÇÕES
Authors: Lôbo Daniella Couto
Published: December 2019

o presente artigo busca discutir reflexões sobre as possíveis contribuições do pensamento foucaultiano à educação. Dessa forma, primeiramente apresenta-se uma breve trajetória das pesquisas do filósofo que, com o tempo, passaram por mudanças, sendo reconhecidas em suas três fases: arqueologia, genealogia e ética. Busca-se também apresentar aspectos da fase genealógica, entendendo que é o momento em que o poder aparece em seus estudos. Neste contexto, a obra Vigiar e Punir (2013a) merece destaque. Foucault descreve vários arquivos sobre a história das penalidades e das instituições que perpetuaram práticas de punição, adestramento e controle. As instituições educativas enquanto espaço de formação também contribuíram para a constituição dos saberes de uma sociedade produtiva. A par dessas questões busca-se elucidar algumas aproximações dos estudos do filósofo aos discursos da educação que possuem um viés de liberdade na modernidade, mas que resultam na verdade em processos educativos que excluem, adestram e controlam.

EDUCAÇÃO E RACIONALIDADE TÉCNICA: DESAFIOS DA FORMAÇÃO COMO ESPAÇO DE RESISTÊNCIA
Authors: Dos Santos Jussimária Almeida
Published: December 2019

Este artigo busca refletire relacionar a Teoria Crítica da Sociedade com os processos (pseudo)formativos, considerando a temática da racionalidade técnica em meio às tramas da Indústria Cultural. É uma investigaçãoteórica e aborda, de forma histórica, social e cultural, as dimensões da (pseudo)formação no contexto da sociedade capitalista, que alimenta o potencial alienante dos sujeitos que vivem uma aporia e recaem no conformismo, sendo-lhesnegada qualquer possibilidade de autorreflexão crítica. Vincula-se a essa discussão autores da Teoria Crítica da Sociedade, como Adorno(1985,1993,1995,2010,2011),Crochik (2003), Kant (2013),Horkheimer (1991, 2002),e para subsidiar o contexto histórico, Hobsbawm (2011,2012),no intuito de serelacionar os processos de instrumentalização técnica propagados pelo Iluminismo como libertação para o homem moderno com as amarras veladas da (pseudo)formaçãoem face de uma lógica social administrada. Por fim, aponta-se para a Educação, na perspectiva da formação ampla em um espaço social contraditório, como possibilidade de resistência contra todas essas agressões do imediatismo na vida intelectual dos sujeitos.
A FORMAÇÃO DO HOMEM VIRTUOSO NO MÊNON DE PLATÃO
Authors: Bollis Silvana
Published: December 2019

Este artigo investiga a questão do conhecimento, do saber, no diálogo Mênon e visa elucidar o que é pensar para Platão. Discute o conceito de prudência, phrónēsis, φρόνησις, ao buscar apreender o sentido da educação implícito na estrutura do diálogo demonstrando a relação intrínseca entre formação humana e virtude; paideía, παιδεία, e aretḗ, ἀρετή. Sustentaremos neste texto que Sócrates refuta toda ordem de pensamentos prontos, preconcebidos e instalados na certeza e que o Mênon é um convite ao questionamento do real, pois afirma o diálogo como possibilidade de conhecer, demonstrando seu propósito essencialmente ético e político pela tese da identidade entre saber e virtude.
Occupational Identities and Physical Exertion in (re)configurations of New Technologies in Eldercare
Authors: Ajslev Jeppe Zielinski Nguyen , Højbjerg Helene , Andersen Malene Friis , Andersen Lars Louis , Poulsen Otto Melchior
Published: December 2019

New technologies are perceived as a solution to the rising proportion of people requiring elderly care across the Nordic countries. Implementing technologies has unforeseen consequences for the content of work and the working environment. This interview-based study within Danish elderly care investigates the consequences of physical exertion for the work and occupational identities of care workers. Through analytical framework integrating positioning theory and agential realism, the study shows that new technologies in certain constellations may further synergies between the reduction of physical exertion and occupational identities, and in others may harm this relation. The study contributes to empirical knowledge about implementing technologies and to discussions of moral literacy and workarounds within care work by suggesting that the ability to openly judge and question physical and ethical consequences of employing technologies is a valuable competence for care workers and, in addition, that furthering these competences is a challenge for managers and legislators.

Políticas curriculares e formação de professores no Brasil: a disputa em torno do conceito de competências
Authors: Malheiro Silvana , Najjar Jorge
Published: December 2019

As reformas educacionais brasileiras dos anos 1990 apresentaram o  onceito de competências como nuclear na organização curricular, estando este conceito presente nos principais documentos curricu- lares para a formação de professores em âmbito nacional. Nesse período, entre fins da década de 1990 e início dos anos 2000, foi predominante o discurso que objetivava construir a qualidade da formação docente, e neste discurso o conceito de competências era central. No entanto, tal discurso perde força nos documentos curriculares ainda no fim da primeira década dos anos 2000. A tônica do discurso passa a girar em torno da afirmação de uma base comum nacional para a formação inicial e continuada e na articulação entre Sistema Nacional de Educação, as políticas e a valorização dos profissionais da educação. Este artigo busca analisar o processo de disputa das políticas que giraram em torno da efeti- vação da ideia de competências como núcleo central dos textos curriculares, bem como dos processos de disputa pela sua negação. Embora apresente uma discussão específica de como estas disputas ocorreram no Brasil, ele lança luzes para processos relativamente semelhantes que ocorreram na Colômbia e em outros países da América do Sul.

Authors: Kazimierczuk Zygmunt , Upcroft Jacqueline A , Upcroft Peter , Górska Agata , Starościak Bohdan , Laudy Agnieszka
Published: December 2019

Two series of benzimidazole derivatives were sythesised. The first one was based on 5,6-dinitrobenzimidazole, the second one comprises 2-thioalkyl- and thioaryl-substituted modified benzimidazoles. Antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity of the newly obtained compounds was studied. Some thioalkyl derivatives showed remarkable activity against nosocomial strains of Stenotrophomonas malthophilia, and an activity comparable to that of metronidazole against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Of the tested compounds, 5,6-dichloro-2-(4-nitrobenzylthio)-benzimidazole showed the most distinct antiprotozoal activity.
Transgenic events interference on maize morphological and productive attributes
Authors: Teles de Souza Laís , Andrade Rezende Pereira José Luiz , Maciel de Oliveira Silas
Published: December 2019

Genetically modified plants have high potential for use and benefits; they are dynamic and tend to enable more sustainable agricultural management alternatives as scientific and technical information are applied. However, little is known about the effects of genetic modifications to induce resistance to herbicides and insect attacks on agronomic characteristics of maize plants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of transgenic events on morphological and productive characteristics of maize hybrids. A field experiment was conducted in two crop seasons, using conventional and transgenic isogenic hybrids. The variables analyzed were plant height, ear height, stem diameter, and grain yield. The genetic modifications used in the evaluated transgenic hybrids affected the morphological and productive characteristics of the maize plants. The transgenic hybrids presented 5% higher plant height and 10% higher grain yield than the conventional hybrids.

Published: December 2019

Experimental accuracy in crop research is directly affected by the size of plots. For this reason, researchers use empirical knowledge to determine plot size. There are also other important aspects for determining ideal plot size. These include the type of crop and the use, or not, of borders. The objective of this research was to verify the necessity of including border material in the value of cultivation and use trials in breeding programs of upland rice and to evaluate the experimental accuracy with and without the inclusion of borders. The research was conducted in an experimental area at the Federal University of Lavras, located in the State of Minas Gerais, during three harvests (2014/2015, 2015/2016, 2016/2017). Thirteen upland rice strains and methods of evaluation (useful area and border) were evaluated. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used to evaluate grain yield. Individual analyses of variance were performed considering the useful areas and the borders for the three agricultural years. A joint analysis was also performed with the use of a subdivided plot involving the location of the harvest in terms of the useful area and border among the rice strains. It was concluded it is necessary to use borders in the value of cultivation and use trials in breeding programs of upland rice as it contributes to the performance and experimental accuracy of research results.

The maintenance of riparian forests is considered one of the main vegetative practices for mitigating the degradation of water resources and is mandatory by law. However, in Brazil there is still a progressive and constant decharacterization of these areas. Facing this reality, it is necessary to broaden researches that identify the occurring changes and provide efficient solutions at a fast pace and low cost. Remote sensing techniques show great application potential in characterizing natural resources. The objective of this work was to map, to characterize the land use and occupation and to verify the best method of high spatial resolution image classification of the Permanent Preservation Areas of the Funil Hydroelectric Power Plant reservoir, located between the municipalities of Lavras, Perdões, Bom Sucesso, Ibituruna, Ijací and Itumirim, in the state of Minas Gerais. The methods used to classify the high spatial resolution image from the Quickbird satellite were visual, object-oriented and pixel-by-pixel. Results showed the best method for mapping land use and occupation of the study area was object-oriented classification using the K-nearest neighbor algorithm, with kappa coefficient of 0.88 and global accuracy of 91.40%.

ASSESSING PROFITABILITY AND GROWTH OF INSURANCE SECTOR IN SAUDI ARABIA: USING FINANCIALS AND TANGIBLES
Authors: Ali Anis , Rumzi Tausif Mohammad
Published: December 2019

The purpose: The purpose of this study to find out the contribution of internal (financial) and external (tangible & human resource) factors of growth and development of the Saudi insurance sector and facilitate suggestions.

Methodology: The study considers financial data of insurance companies of Saudi Arabia for the period 2013 to 2017for internal analysis while data from 2010 to 2015 for external analysis. Trend indices (chain based index numbers & fixed base index numbers) from financial statements and insurance establishments and human resources of the insurance industry are prepared to know the internal and external factors responsible for growth and development. The averages of trend indices are obtained to get the results of the analysis.

Findings: The study finds that there is negativity in operational efficiency. It also finds that the internal liabilities or shareholders’ equities are decreasing continuously. Also, establishments engaged in insurance activities are not enough to cover all prospective customers.

Implications: The finding implies that the increase in revenues is not enough. The findings also imply a weak long term paying ability towards this the study recommends further investment in profitable options like securities and avoid excess liquidity and increase insurance penetration.

Novelty: This study is one of the few that assesses the performance of the insurance sector of Saudi Arabia. In the process, it performs internal analysis using operational and financial factors; and an external analysis using tangibles and intangibles.

Authors: Turriago Campuzano Andrea Marcela , Cardona Acevedo Marleny
Published: December 2019

El Protocolo Verde es una iniciativa vo­luntaria del sector financiero liderada por Aso­bancaria; surge como solución para mitigar el cambio climático, aportar a la sostenibilidad y a la responsabilidad social corporativa. En este estudio se propuso el análisis de los aportes de la banca comercial colombiana aplicando los lineamientos del Protocolo y su impacto en los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS) ambientales. Se elige como metodología el es­tudio de caso usando información cualitativa y cuantitativa. Inicialmente, se hace una revi­sión documental de informes de sostenibilidad (2015-2017) que dan cuenta de las acciones ejecutadas por la banca comercial, fundamen­tado en bases teóricas conceptuales, marco internacional y nacional y conceptos emitidos por expertos en sostenibilidad entrevistados. En los bancos estudiados sobresalen Ban­colombia y Davivienda, referentes a nivel mundial, reconocidos por el Índice de Sos­tenibilidad Dow Jones. Finalmente, por el compromiso de los bancos comerciales en la aplicación de los lineamientos del Protocolo Verde y el aporte a los ocho ODS ambientales, se demuestra el compromiso con la sostenibi­lidad ambiental.
An Online College Near Me
Authors: Yoon Hyungjoo
Published: December 2019

One advantage of online learning settings relative to conventional classrooms is their anytime, anywhere accessibility. While online education programs provide students with flexible learning opportunities free from the restrictions of geographic location, a consistently growing number of students who prefer to learn exclusively online still choose nearby colleges. The choice to attend a local college by exclusively online learners is an interesting phenomenon, because most of these students rarely visit campus at any point in the process of obtaining their degrees. This study aims to explain this localized distance student enrollment pattern using Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System data and Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data from the fall of 2016. This research uses a multiple regression technique to explain the relationship between institutional factors and localized distance student enrollment patterns in the US. This study utilizes the C2Q (cost, convenience, and quality) model to explain the local orientation of e-learners. The findings show that convenience and quality of education are significantly associated with each local institution’s share of exclusively online learners in the same state.

Published: December 2019

The purpose of the study is to investigate the concern developments of first-time distance education instructors using the concerns-based adoption model (CBAM). This study used stages of concern (SoC), a component of CBAM, as its theoretical framework. A descriptive case study was implemented, which focused on the adaptation processes of nine instructors lecturing for the first time via distance education. The instructors attended a two-day training, which was designed based on their initial concerns. Then instructors implemented their courses for four weeks via distance education. While the informational and personal stages (self-concerns) decreased compared to the initial findings, the consequence stage increased in intensity. However, self-concerns remained predominant in the process despite the reduction in self-concerns and increase in the consequence stage. Based on the findings, the implications for distance education and recommendations for addressing the instructors’ concerns are discussed. Recommendations for alleviating the concerns of first-time distance education instructors include: the provision of ongoing concern-based interventions that incorporate technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge; providing working examples related to distance education from which instructors can learn vicariously; and encouraging collaboration among instructors.

Ship maneuverability is the ability of the ship to rotate and change direction in all conditions of the water when the rudder (steering) turns to form a certain angle; there is a change in pressure, speed and direction of fluid flow, this causes changes in the course of the ship. Corals that produce the rudder of the vessel to crack or break because of the impact of the rock at that time the rudder needs a repair.

Repair on the rudder of the ship is usually carried out on the leaves and sticks of steering, one of the repairs processes is by welding, but if the rudder undergoes a reparation process many times, it will cause changes in metallurgical material due to excessive heat treatment. In the process of repairing the rudder, the new plate used to improve the maximum is 1 mm with an old plate, and the rear side of the rudder experiences a higher load because in this part the flow distribution is stacked from the front of the rudder. The results of this study are repaired rudder experiencing an increase of 16% -18% drag and lift force, the faster the ship runs, the higher the drag and lift force so that the resistance is also greater

La representación cinematográfica del VIH/sida: Análisis de las películas estrenadas entre 1981 y 1991 = The cinematographic representation of HIV/aids: Analysis of the films released between 1981 and 1991
Authors: López-Martín Álvaro
Published: December 2019

Resumen: Los medios de masas siempre han tenido una gran influencia en la construcción de la opinión pública. Esto ha quedado patente ante cualquier problema contemporáneo de notable envergadura, como el VIH/sida, cuya presencia en las películas ha servido para crear conciencia e imagen sobre el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar el tratamiento cinematográfico que tuvo el VIH en las películas estrenadas entre 1981 y 1991. Es decir, durante la primera década desde la identificación del primer caso clínico de este virus. Para ello se han analizado cuatro producciones: An Early Frost, Miradas en la despedida, La Mosca y Compañeros inseparables. El análisis de contenido de estas películas nos ha permitido determinar cuál es el enfoque común con el que se presentaba el VIH. Por un lado, desde la perspectiva social, se constató que en todas las cintas se hacen visibles los miedos y prejuicios hacia dicho virus, el cual se asociaba (casi) únicamente con el colectivo gay. En contraposición, se aprecia que los procedimientos médicos y las formas de transmisión del VIH mostradas eran correctas, con una mayor precisión y realismo en aquellas películas estrenadas en los años finales del periodo estudiado.Palabras claves: salud; cine; medios de masas; VIH; estigma social.Abstract: The mass media have always had a great influence on the construction of public opinion. This has been demonstrated with any major contemporary problem, such as HIV / AIDS, whose presence in the films has served to raise awareness and image about the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This work aims to know how HIV is represented in the films released between 1981 and 1991. That is, during the first decade since the identification of the first clinical case of this virus. For this, four productions have been analyzed: An Early Frost, Parting Glances, The Fly and Longtime Companion. The analysis of the content of these films has allowed us to determine how HIV was presented. On the one hand, from the social perspective, it was observed that in all the films the fears and prejudices towards said virus become visible. In addition, HIV was associated (almost) only with the gay community. In contrast, it could be seen that the medical procedures and the forms of HIV transmission shown were correct, with greater precision and realism in the films released in the final years of the analysis period.
