Published: November 2020

IoT comprises billions of devices that can sense, communicate, compute, and potentially actuate. The data generated by the IoTs are valuable and have the potential to drive innovative and novel applications. IoT allows people and things to be connected anytime, anyplace and to anyone with the internet using tiny sensor. One of the best advantages of the IoT is the increasing number of low-cost sensors available along with its functionalities. A few standard sensors include linear accelerator, compass, light sensors, camera, and microphone, moisture, location, heart rate, and heart rate variability. The trend is multi-sensor platforms that incorporate several sensing elements. In such environment, discovering, identifying, connecting, and configuring sensor hardware are critical issues. The cloud-based IoT platforms can retrieve data from sensors IoT is an inter-disciplinary technology, encompassing multiple areas such as RTS, embedded systems. This chapter detailed investigation and presents highly innovative and revolutionary ideas in healthcare application are available.

Uncontrolled diabetes has the potential to cause serious complications in the body including kidney disease, loss of vision, and cardiovascular disease, which contribute towards morbidity and mortality. Though various allopathic drugs are available in the market, the herbal products and their derivatives have enough potential to treat such diseases with little or no side effects. This chapter is concerned and focuses on the application of herbal drugs along with proven mechanisms of action.
WOKE
Authors: Sandifer Mariama Cook , Gibson Eva M. , Brant-Rajahn Sarah N.
Published: November 2020

Social justice advocacy is a term commonly utilized to describe action steps initiated to remove obstacles to success for underrepresented students. This chapter challenges school counselors and educators to adopt a “Woke” perspective (which integrates action and awareness) on behalf of African American students. Furthermore, these professionals should be equipped with culturally responsive tools to support African American students and engage in systemic advocacy on their behalf. Drawing from Critical Race Theory, this chapter will examine the historical and contemporary context of discriminatory practices, as well as the current impact on African American students. This chapter will also address specific strategies to inform professional practice and advocacy work, as well as implications for training programs.

Fostering Strengths and Supporting the Needs of Students With Disabilities
Authors: Milsom Amy , DeWeese Maggie
Published: November 2020

Students with disabilities often are not adequately served in schools, resulting in academic achievement gaps as well as poorer college and career outcomes compared to their peers without disabilities. Nearly 14% of students in public K-12 schools have diagnosed disabilities and receive services and accommodations either through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or through Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. School counselors are responsible for addressing the academic, career, and social-emotional needs of every student in their school, yet research consistently suggests many school counselors do not feel prepared or confident to address the needs of students with disabilities. This chapter is designed to provide an overview of the unique strengths and needs of students with disabilities, as well as a framework for conceptualizing counseling interventions. The importance of collaboration, leadership, and advocacy are discussed, as are ethical and professional development recommendations.

Centres for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) reports that there are limited data and information about the impact of underlying medical conditions and the risk of infection. To date, there are no studies that report on the risk of infection among patients with haematological diseases or abnormalities. This cross-sectional study reports on the baseline complete blood count in patients attending publicly funded primary care settings with a diagnosis of suspected COVID-19 infections in the state of Qatar. The study will report on the descriptive characteristics of the population, including gender, age and prior abnormalities to their blood test results. We will compare the results of those with positive and negative PCR test results, where appropriate. Nine hundred sixty-two adult patients attended publicly funded primary health care settings in the state of Qatar between 10 February and 30 April 2020 with a diagnosis of suspected COVID-19 infections had prior recorded blood investigations in the last six months and were included in this study. The population was young, mean of age is 38.8 ± 11.6. (Median: 36 [Min: 19–Max: 85]). Complete blood count of the sample had minimal missing data points. Females were more presented in our samples, Female (n = 560, 58.21%) and Male (n = 402, 41.79%). Most of our sample had a documented PCR test result, negative (n = 831, 86.38%); positive (n = 123, 12.79%) and missing (n = 8, 0.83%). Low haemoglobin values (n = 265, 27.5%) and low red blood cell count (n = 170, 17.7%) were the most prevalent complete blood count abnormality in the population. Leukopenia was less common (n = 50, 8.2%). Most of the population had normal platelet count (n = 895, 93%). Gender was the most influential factor in our sample to increase the odds of having a positive PCR t results; males were more likely to be affected (p < 0.001, Chi-square test) (OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.73–3.77). Categories for haematological abnormalities were not associated with increased risk of having a positive PCT test result. In a population attending primary healthcare settings with early presentation of symptoms of COVID-19 infection, the risk of infection among our cohort was not affected by the prior haematological values of those patients. Gender was the most influential parameter in the risk of infection in our population. Analysis of the results using gender-specific categories for different haematological parameters suggested that patients with abnormal haematological values were not at increased risk of having a positive COVID-19 infection.

Induced abortion in today’s world
Authors: Spaziante Eremenegildo
Published: November 2020

The Author has examined the recent statistics concerning the legally induced abortion, registered in 25 selected countries in the world.

From a total population of 997 millions inhabitants, the cases of induced abortions were 6,126,000 during the year 1996. A formal decrease of 20% was recorded yearly between 1994 and 1996.

The changes were not similar for all the examined countries. The most intensive decrease was registered in the countries with previous highest incidence, especially those with experience of Soviet system or Marxian ideology.

The study reports the comparison of the abortive phenomenon with the birth rate, the infant mortality, the socio-economic conditions.

Invers correlation come in evidence between induced abortiveness rates and the “human development index” (UNDP), especially with the cultural level and the Goss National Product (GNP) per capita.

The Author supposes that in the more developed countries the decrease of registered abortiveness was related also to a larger use of contraceptive means. In the less developed countries of the ex-Soviet system, the attenuation of incidence of induced abortion can be connected with a mitigation of public power to coercive birth control. The A. suggests te working hypothesis that a large seeking f induced abortion, especially if repeated, is not only a consequence of economical and cultural misery, but also an important factor of moral, social, and economic depression. In the changing world induced abortion is still a persistent form of misery.
Platone, maestro di bioetica?
Authors: Pascual Fernando
Published: November 2020

Platone, un filosofo che ah considerato molti dei problemi antropologici fondamentali, può servire come punto di riferimento per giudicare argomenti in ambito bioetico? Il presente lavoro tenta di rispondere a tale quesito.

Si presenta, inizialmente, la cosmovisione globale e l’antropologia di Platone (prima parte). Queste risultano necessarie sia per inquadrare la concezione platonica della medicina, della salute e dell’agire medico (seconda parte), sia per conoscere le sue proposte circa argomenti attuali, come l’aborto, l’eutanasia e l’eugenismo (tersa parte).

Si cerca quindi di offrire un giudizio il più possibile preciso delle affermazioni platoniche per illuminare alcuni discussioni attuali in ambito bioetico. Secondo i risultati ottenuti, si possono segnalare due limiti di fondo delle proposte del fondatore dell’Accademia: l’individualismo e l’utilitarismo. Questi limiti conducono sia all’accettazione dell’eutanasia passiva neonatale (prassi purtroppo normale nel mondo antico), sia dell’aborto per motivi di controllo demografico, e dia dell’abbandono alla loro sorte dei malati inguaribili.

Viceversa, alla luce dei testi considerati, Platone non sembrerebbe essere un difensore dell’eutanasia “attiva” degli anziani e degli infermi terminali né avrebbe proposto l’eliminazione dei malati mentali. Ugualmente, Platone non sembra essere riuscito ad individuare un’ottimale tipologia di rapporto medico-paziente, anche se lascia uno spazio importante all’opera di persuasione da parte del medico (sapiente) verso l’individuo malato (bisognoso della terapia e, in questo, dipendente dall’agire sanitario).

Solo con l’arrivo della fede cristiana l’umanità è riuscita a scoprire il senso del dolore e il suo valore sia per la crescita della persona, sia per il bene dell’intero corpo sociale. In questo modo ha potuto superare le spinte eugenetiche, abortistiche ed eutanasiche del mondo antico che. Tuttavia, rinascono proprio oggi per la perdita di quei valori che erano stati assunti dal mondo occidentale grazie al Cristianesimo.

Published: November 2020

We performed this study to investigate the diagnostic performance of prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) in a multicenter cohort of the Chinese Prostate Cancer Consortium. Outpatients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels ≥4.0 ng ml−1 regardless of digital rectal examination (DRE) results or PSA levels <4.0 ng ml−1 and abnormal DRE results were included from 18 large referral hospitals in China. The diagnostic performance of PSAD and the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and high-grade prostate cancer (HGPCa) at different cutoff values were evaluated. A total of 5220 patients were included in the study, and 2014 (38.6%) of them were diagnosed with PCa. In patients with PSA levels ranging from 4.0 to 10.0 ng ml−1, PSAD was associated with PCa and HGPCa in both univariate (odds ratio [OR] = 45.15, P < 0.0001 and OR = 25.38, P < 0.0001, respectively) and multivariate analyses (OR = 52.55, P < 0.0001 and OR = 26.05, P < 0.0001, respectively). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of PSAD in predicting PCa and HGPCa were 0.627 and 0.630, respectively. With the PSAD cutoff of 0.10 ng ml−2, we obtained a sensitivity of 88.7% for PCa, and nearly all (89.9%) HGPCa cases could be detected and biopsies could be avoided in 20.2% of the patients (359/1776 cases). Among these patients who avoided biopsies, only 30 cases had HGPCa. We recommend 0.10 ng ml−2 as the proper cutoff value of PSAD, which will obtain a sensitivity of nearly 90% for both PCa and HGPCa. The results of this study should be validated in prospective, population-based multicenter studies.

Lobomycosis, also referred to as lacaziosis, is an endemic cutaneous and subcutaneous fungal disease that mainly affects Amazonian forest dwellers in Brazil. There is no disease control program in place in Brazil, and antifungal therapy failures are common, and the therapy is inaccessible to most patients. We performed a randomized, unblinded clinical trial testing the cure rate of multiple drug therapy (MDT) for leprosy with surgical excision, with or without itraconazole. A control arm consisted of patients who did not adhere to either therapeutic regimens but continued to be followed up. Multiple drug therapy consisted of monthly supervised doses of 600 mg rifampicin, 300 mg clofazimine, and 100 mg dapsone, in addition to daily doses of 50 mg clofazimine and 100 mg dapsone. The patients in the MDT plus itraconazole arm also received itraconazole 100 mg twice daily. We followed up 54 patients from the MDT group and 26 patients from the MDT plus itraconazole group for an average of 4 years and 9 months. The 23 controls were followed up for 6 months on average. The following endpoints were observed: 1) unchanged (no apparent improvement), 2) improved (reduction in lesion size and/or pruritus), and 3) cured (complete remission of the lesions, no viable fungi, and no relapse for 2 years after the end of the drug treatment). The results indicated a significantly greater likelihood of cure associated with the use of multidrug therapy for leprosy with or without itraconazole when compared with the control group. The addition of itraconazole to MDT was not associated with improved outcomes, suggesting that MDT alone is effective.
Wpływ doświadczenia na motywy uprawiania narciarstwa na przykładzie tatrzańskich ośrodków narciarskich: Kasprowy Wierch (Polska) i Tatrzańska Łomnica (Słowacja)

Impact of experience on the motives of skiers on the example of Tatra ski resorts: Kasprowy Wierch (Poland) and Tatrzańska Łomnica (Slovakia) Both the motivation and the experience of tourists depend on psychological processes, being very individual for each person. They are closely related with each other and, also, they are affected by each other in many aspects. The aim of this article is to characterize the relationship between the motivation and the past mountain and ski experience of respondents from two Tatra ski resorts: Kasprowy Wierch (Poland) and Tatrzańska Łomnica (Slovakia). In order to gain information about the motivation and experience of tourists a survey using the PAPI technique was conducted during the winter seasons 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. A total of 404 questionnaires was collected (Kasprowy Wierch – 197; Tatrzańska Łomnica – 207). The results confirm that tourists’ motivation as well as their past mountain and ski experience are dependent on each other. Past experience and tourist motivation are both affected by other factors, including the type of activity or the frequency of visits. The research also shows that especially the past mountain experience affects many other variables including tourist motivation.

Graduation towers in Poland. Genesis, current state and future of the phenomenon Salt is one of the materials with many uses. For centuries, its therapeutic values have been emphasized. Former salt mining centres, in which graduation towers were used to concentrate brine, played a special role. Along with changes in the technology of obtaining salt, these devices were gradually withdrawn from the use. Some of them began to perform a spa function, which resulted from the impact of the specific microclimate around them on treatment options, including upper respiratory tract diseases. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, a great interest in the graduation towers was noted, due to which new facilities began to be built, and adapted to perform the therapeutic function. The literature on the subject is basically limited to analyses of the individual historical objects in terms of history and technology as well as popular-scientific guidebooks and informational studies. The purpose of this study is to give an idea of the genesis and current state of the construction of external graduation towers in Poland (89 facilities have been inventoried), taking into account the dynamics of this state, and the diversity of graduation towers due to its form, size and method of funding. Particular attention was paid to the spatial diversity of this phenomenon.

Potential of material cultural heritage of the Western Ukraine, its valorisation and evaluation of the use for sentimental tourism The article presents a valorisation of material cultural heritage for sentimental tourism of Poles and an analysis of the use of this potential in tourist offer. The analysis of values included defensive buildings and residences, religious buildings, cemeteries, as well as other architectural and technical monuments that can be used for the purposes of Polish sentimental tourism in the Western Ukraine, a territory that belonged to the Second Polish Republic. The analysis based on the point bonitation method showed that the Lviv and Ternopil regions have the greatest potential. However, the tourist offer of Polish travel agencies to the Western Ukraine covers only part of the potential of Polish cultural heritage.
Dlaczego nie powstanie historia literatury polskiej ostatnich trzydziestu lat?
Authors: Niewiadomski Andrzej
Published: November 2020

Why the History of Polish Literature of the Last Thirty Years Will Never be Written The article deals with attempts by literary critics and literary historians to order Polish iterature of the last thirty years. It points to the low operational value of the categories and terms used by researchers when trying to define the most important features of literature of that period. Periodization that pinpoints the literary breakthrough to the year 1989 cannot be such a sorting order, nor can it be the category of literary generation or the distinction between modernist and postmodern literature in Poland. An attempt to create the history of literature on the thirtieth anniversary of the political breakthrough encounters significant difficulties connected mainly with the fact that there is no identifiable closing event for that period. The first steps towards a reliable description should be, although it is a very difficult task, to give up used terminology, diversify research reflection and introduce a broader historical perspective going back beyond 1989.
Poeci-tłumacze jako „awangarda” lat 90.
Authors: Orska Joanna
Published: November 2020

Poets-Translators as the “Avant-Garde” of the 1990s David Lehman in his book The Last Avant-Garde. The Making of the New York School of Poets sustains the avant-garde character of the New York School (painters and poets), pointing to the resistance of the public to their works as to one of the symptoms showing their anti-normative and emancipatory message. New experimental poetry in post-transformational Poland of the 1990s was, in general, following the innovations of foreign neo-avant-garde practices – in respect to the methods, interests, and creative ideas. The New York School tradition became the main source of inspiration, due to its reception by poets-translators of the circle of “Literatura na Świecie” magazine: Piotr Sommer, Bohdan Zadura, Andrzej Sosnowski, and Tadeusz Pióro. This article shows that their literary statements on art, which could be seen as programmatic in the avant- -garde way, displayed certain outlines similar to the New York School ideas. One might risk the thesis that at the turn of the centuries in Poland not only American neo-avant-garde poetry aroused the interest of Polish poets-translators. Also the programme of the New York School poets, however vague, became important for their experience and it was being “translated” alongside the poems, though its features would turn out different in Polish conditions.

Krytyka po literaturze
Authors: Uniłowski Krzysztof
Published: November 2020

Literary Criticism after Literature The article is focused on literary criticism within the post-literary formation. The author describes it in the historical and cultural perspective of institutional changes and the consequences of different ways of defining literature and its functions. The term “post-literary” is used here to name the present condition of literature incorporated into cyberculture. This inclusion results not only in traditional readership ceasing to function as a privileged reading practice, but above all in dehierarchisation, heteronomisation, deprofessionalisation and egalitarianisation of literature (the changeability of sender and recipient roles; ease of publishing; change of text intelligibility and dispossession of literature from an earmarked discursive space). Therefore, the circulation and the very status of literary criticism has also evolved. The author shows that the literary criticism that has emerged from the experience of the new media is not only entertainment oriented and that it does not have to be non-intellectual. He gives a detailed description of the key differences between traditional and new criticism.
Administracyjna i sądowa egzekucja z ruchomości o wartości historycznej, naukowej lub artystycznej
Authors: Mrówczyński Marek
Published: November 2020

Administrative and judicial execution against movables possessing historical, scientific or artistic value This article analyses specific regulations regarding the administrative execution against movables possessing historical, scientific or artistic value and judicial execution against movables possessing historical or artistic value. Such considerations are even more necessary taking into account the recent changes made to regulations regarding administrative execution, which came into force in 2020. The expressions “movables having a historical, scientific or artistic value” and “movables having a historical or artistic value” are not identical to that of monuments, which have their own legal definition in Polish law. However, the phrases imply the presence of a monument. The distinctive features of these regulations regarding the assessment, transfer and sale of the objects in question do not aim to create a specific legal regime protecting objects of this kind from administrative or judicial execution. Their purpose is to ensure the correctness of related acts and the efficiency of the execution itself. It is important that legislators do not exclude the application of ordinary forms of sale for the objects in question; i.e., they are subject to regular forms of commerce.
L’art pour l’art, czyli o tzw. kontratypie sztuki
Authors: Hanc Jakub
Published: November 2020

L’art pour l’art, or so-called justifications of art The issue of so-called justification of art continues to be debated intensely in the applicable literature. Academic opinion increasingly highlights the need to include international and constitutional regulations regarding freedom of expression, particularly freedom of artistic expression, in the discourse. This article adopts a somewhat different approach and aims to analyze that non-statutory justification in the context of statements by critics, art historians, artists and lawyers. This type of approach makes it possible to assess whether the conditions excluding the unlawfulness of an act proposed in the science of criminal law are useful tools to facilitate the criminal law evaluation of specific factual circumstances by a judge.

Published: November 2020

Das Phänomen der räumlichen Konzentration unterschiedlicher Sozialgruppen im städtischen Raum – die soziale Segregation – steht angesichts von vielerorts steigenden Mieten und verstärkter Flucht- und Binnenmigration wieder stärker im Blick der öffentlichen Debatte. In den Kommunen wird die ungleiche räumliche Verteilung ökonomischer und sozial-kultureller Bedingungen bereits vielfach mit einer Sozialraumorientierung und ressortübergreifenden Handlungsansätzen gewürdigt. In dem vorliegenden Kurzbericht wird nun eine Bestandsaufnahme des Ausmaßes und der Entwicklung der sozialen Segregation in den nordrhein-westfälischen Städten zwischen 2009 und 2017 vorgenommen. Auf der Grundlage von kleinräumigen SGB II-Daten des Statistischen Landesamtes NRW (IT.NRW) wird für die Jahre 2009, 2013 und 2017 untersucht, wie sich die SGB II- und Bedarfsgemeinschaftsquoten in den Bezirken der Gemeinden entwickelt haben. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich generelle Unterschiede zwischen den Regionen des Landes feststellen lassen, wie hoch die soziale Benachteiligung einzelner Bezirke im Land ist und wie sich diese zwischen 2009 und 2017 verändert hat. Bei den Analysen wird zudem die Situation der Bedarfsgemeinschaften von geflüchteten Personen gesondert betrachtet und untersucht in welchen räumlichen Kontexten die erwerbsfähigen Leistungsberechtigten im Kontext von Fluchtmigration leben.

The overwhelming rate of environmental degradation activated by the cruel mining operation associated with the unguided and incessant activities of artisans instigates this study. This study aimed at assessing the extents of trace metals contamination on soil resulting from the abandoned tin mining operation in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State. The abandoned mine site was delineated, and three samples were taken from the soil with respect to 0-15cm and 16-30cm horizontal depth. The three samples were tested and analyzed for heavy metals concentration such as Pb, Cr, As, Zn, Cd, Cu, and Fe at the Analytical Laboratory of the National Metallurgical Development Agency, Jos Nigeria. The result was subjected to the tolerable standard limit of the Federal Ministry of Environment for metals constituent in soil. Findings from the study reveal that the soil samples in both 0-15cm and 16-30cm depth show concentrations that were far above the limit set by the Federal Ministry of Environment of Nigeria for Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Cr, and Ar, with the exception of Fe. The study recommends among others that; to ensure sustainable management of minerals with enforceable regulations in a sector dominated by stray mines, strengthening of current policy using command and control measures built on accountability and polluter pay principles to avert cases of dead trap and soil pollution as well as aesthetic destruction of the landscape is the way forward.

Published: November 2020

Los desastres naturales acaecidos en el último decenio han causado la muerte de millones de personas, y pérdidas evaluadas en billones de pesos. Las dos terceras partes de las pérdidas se corresponden a accidentes climáticos extremos, nueve de cada diez relacionados con el agua. En América Latina y el Caribe, un importante número de poblaciones se encuentran ubicadas en áreas propensas a la ocurrencia de estos tipos de fenómenos, exponiéndose a elevados riesgos tanto poblaciones como activos. En Perú, la Región Huancavelica, es considerada en el mapa de Defensa Civil como zona de alto riesgo. Esta investigación es parte de un proyecto cuyo objetivo fue determinar los peligros, vulnerabilidad y niveles de riesgos por movimiento de masa en la Provincia de Tayacaja. Se emplearon revisión documental, observación científica, trabajo de campo y encuestas. La evaluación del peligro y análisis de vulnerabilidad mediante Método Analytic Hierarchy Process /AHP); estudio de riesgos según normativas legales; cálculo de pesos ponderados a través del Método AHP Saaty (1980) y estudio del peligro por la metodología del CENEPRED. Se obtuvieron tres resultados parciales: determinación de peligros, de vulnerabilidades y los riesgos, estos últimos estratificados, zonificados y mapeados a través del Web Map Service.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, örgütsel bağlılık ile işgören performansı arasındaki ilişkide, iş tatmininin aracılık rolünün belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın önemi, bu üç kavramla ilgili bir model önerilmesi ve bu modelin test edilmesidir. Çalışmada araştırma yöntemi nicel araştırma yöntemi ve araştırma türü ilişkisel (korelasyonel) olarak tercih edilmiştir. Veri toplama tekniği ise anket tekniğidir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, bir devlet üniversitesinde 2019-2020 eğitim öğretim yılında çalışmakta olan 2793 idari personel oluşturmaktadır. İlgili personele 600 anket dağıtılmış, dağıtılan anketlerden 324’ü yanıtlanmış olarak geri toplanmıştır. Gerekli incelemeler sonucunda 324 anketten 280’i analiz için uygun görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada, duygusal bağlılık ile işgören performansı arasındaki ilişkide dışsal tatminin “tam aracılık rolünde” olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Devam bağlılığı ile işgören performansı arasındaki ilişkide ise içsel tatminin “kısmi aracılık rolünde” olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir.

Published: November 2020

Este capítulo trata da análise de um texto de circulação social, a partir de uma reportagem sobre a questão indígena em Mato Grosso do Sul. Parte-se da hipótese de que o discurso citado pode desempenhar funções persuasivas em textos escritos, mesmo com o pressuposto do uso da imparcialidade. Como o enunciado jornalístico comporta as diversas vozes sobre um dado tema, o objetivo principal é analisar o uso do discurso citado e os efeitos de sentidos que esse recurso linguístico pode produzir no interlocutor/leitor. Tem-se como aporte teórico a perspectiva enunciativa sob a ótica de Bakhtin (2003,2004). O corpus do estudo trata de uma reportagem, veiculada no Jornal online Midiamax, de Campo Grande-MS, no período compreendido entre 2014 e 2018. Os resultados mostram que esses recursos linguístico-discursivos arrazoam o fazer narrativo jornalístico e podem funcionar como álibi ao locutor/repórter para dizer/escrever o que diz/escreve como simulacro de verdade na narrativa jornalística.

Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo identificar, describir y analizar los procedimientos técnicos utilizados por el traductor para solucionar los problemas que enfrentó en el acto traductorio. Para ello hemos escogido aleatoriamente un fragmento de la segunda parte de la obra Memoria de mis putas tristes, de Gabriel García Márquez. La fundamentación teórica está integrada por los conceptos de traducción profesional (MAYORAL, 2001; STUPIELLO, 2006); traducción literaria (CASTILLO, 2016; CATENARO, 2008); competencia traductora (ESPINOSA, 2011); y procedimientos técnicos de la traducción (BARBOSA, 2004). El corpus está integrado por un fragmento de la referida obra literaria, lo cual fue analizado atendiendo a la propuesta de categorización y jerarquización de Barbosa (2004). Los resultados mostraron un uso abrumador (80%) de los procedimientos catalogados dentro de la traducción oblicua (incremento, equivalencia, modulación, omisión) y solo un (20%) dentro de la traducción directa (traducción palabra por palabra y traducción literal).  Los datos permitieron comprobar que el traductor encontró más divergencia que convergencia de los sistemas lingüísticos y de los estilos entre el par de lenguas en contacto, lo que parece explicar el recurso mayoritario a procedimientos que normalmente se aplicarían en la traducción literaria en esa magnitud.
FORMAÇÃO E PRÁTICA: A AUTONOMIA DOCENTE EM DISCUSSÃO
Authors: VERGARA Julieno Lopes
Published: November 2020

Este estudo procura destacar a importância de se investigar a atuação docente, refletir sobre o tema, com o objetivo de apontar a dinâmica e a ruptura em torno do tema autonomia. Os objetivos do estudo acabam por se inserir na discussão que percorre a docência ao longo dos anos, a dicotomia entre formação e prática, e de que maneira ambas podem de fato caminhar juntas, para que exista um educador mais preparado para enfrentar um ambiente tão diversificado como a sala de aula. Esta pesquisa se justifica na medida do legado de informações que este estudo apresenta. A informação obtida irá contribuir de maneira satisfatória para a maturidade das relações existentes dentro do contexto escolar que envolva a prática docente. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão bibliográfica na perspectiva de abordagem do tipo qualitativa, com o propósito de aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre os pressupostos teóricos que embasam as produções pedagógicas pela reflexão em torno da formação e prática docente. Dentre as conclusões auferidas, destaca-se a importância de se retomar o pensamento da formação a partir da prática, dando voz aos educadores na formulação dessa formação, já que muitas vezes, suas perspectivas são esquecidas no tempo, e esses atores escolares deixam de dar sua contribuição para o entendimento da realidade escolar brasileira.
ADOLESCENTES EM CONFLITO COM A LEI: Um olhar sobre o processo Educacional Institucional

Published: November 2020

Objetivou-se analisar as questões educacionais com base nos processos de execução de medidas socioeducativas das/os adolescentes que cometeram atos infracionais. O universo da pesquisa foi composto 21 participantes, sendo seis profissionais (um pedagogo, um psicólogo e quatro assistentes sociais) e quinze (15) adolescentes que cometeram atos infracionais e estão sob medidas socioeducativas no Lar do Garoto em Lagoa Seca-PB. Para isto, utilizou-se a aplicação de questionário com questões abertas. De acordo com os técnicos, as medidas socioeducativas são essenciais na ótica da responsabilidade jurídica, porém, o simples cumprimento dessas medidas não é suficiente para que os adolescentes se posicionem diante dos seus atos e rompam com as práticas infracionais. Afirmaram, também, do ponto de vista educacional, que no Lar do Garoto, apesar de serem cumpridas as exigências legais, muito ainda precisa ser melhorado para que esses adolescentes estejam aptos a exercerem em sua plenitude suas funções sociais.

Authors: BESERRA Eduardo de Lima , Gonçalves Neto Nefatalin
Published: November 2020

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo do romance O deserto dos Tártaros, de Dino Buzzati, no qual procuramos investigar a passagem do tempo na obra, dando ênfase às anacronias de antecipação, ou prolepses. Ao observar esse fenômeno, abordamos a categoria narrativa de tempo em termos objetivos e subjetivos. Na análise, as prolepses estão adjacentes em função da progressão do enredo e sob as condições dos aspectos da temporalidade. Ao centrar a discussão acerca do tempo narrativo, o trabalho sustenta-se nos estudos teóricos de Genette (1978), Candido (1996) e Nunes (2013). De modo introdutório, apresentaremos alguns dados do romance, bem como o resumo da obra em apreço.

This study aims: (1) to analyze the effects of the pandemic and the differences in policies in handling the Covid-19 pandemic on Indonesia's monetary stability; (2) to analyze the effect of money supply, BI-rate, market operations, stock index on Indonesia's monetary stability. This study uses quantitative analysis methods with multiple dummy variable regression. As a result, the number of pandemic cases and differences in policies had a significant effect on the stability of the rupiah. Simultaneously, the stability of the rupiah exchange rate is influenced by pandemic variables (cases, deaths, recovery and pandemic management policies, money supply (M1, M2), market operations (conventional and sharia), reference interest rates (BI-rate), inflation rate. foreign exchange reserves, financial stock index. These independent variables are correlated with the rupiah exchange rate with a correlation coefficient of R2 0.927073. The pandemic management policy, whatever its name, tends to weaken the rupiah exchange rate position. the exchange rate of the rupiah, meanwhile the formation of a task force had a lighter impact on pressing the rupiah compared to other policies.

Published: November 2020

Pregnant women need nutrients and minerals to support fetal development and metabolic processes because pregnant women are prone to nutritional problems. This study aims to analyze the problem of stunting in pregnant women and children within the first 1000 days of life. This type of research uses a descriptive quantitative approach using analytical survey methods and interviews as well as direct observation of baduta with stunting problems. The sample in this study was conducted using purposive sampling technique with a sample size of 80 Baduta. The results showed the description of mother's knowledge of the problem of stunting in Baduta. Based on table 3 above, there were 47 baduta (86.7%) non-stunted mothers (11.3%). Meanwhile, there were 17 baduta (63.0%) stunting children and 10 baduta (37.0%) children who were not stunted. Several causes that affect children's nutrition that can be at risk and lead to stunting problems, namely low mother's education, lack of knowledge, lack of family income, history of KEK, incomplete immunization, not getting complementary breastfeeding

Authors: Koller Pavel , Darida Petr
Published: November 2020

The aims of the paper is to identify the problems and solutions about emotional behavior with verbal violences. Emotional behavior have a lot of influence on other psychic functions, such as observation, response, thinking, and will. Individuals will be able to make good observations if accompanied by good emotions. Violence is generally classified into four types. According to Lowson, violence is classified into four forms, namely physical abuse (physical abuse) is violence perpetrated by someone until someone grows up, emotional abuse occurs when someone is in need of attention but is ignored, verbal abuse occurs when someone giving humiliation, harassment, labeling the pattern of communication, sexual violence (sexual abuse) occurs when someone forces sexual relations. All of the problems in those cases  have a discussion and solutions which is (1) avoiding hoax news; (2) instilling habits of good behavior from an early age (parents must be careful when speaking in front of their children); (3) making persuasion advertising a form of strengthening social relations; (4) accustom positive criticism; (5) respect the privacy of others; (6) always use communication tools proportionally; (7) maintaining communication ethics; and (8) avoiding racist and racist content.
Children's Down Behavior Syndrome: Difficulty Concentrating and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Authors: Sclanavo Maria , Sebes Gyula
Published: November 2020

This article discusses the behavior of children with Down syndrome who have difficulty concentrating and obsessive-compulsivity, characteristics of Down syndrome children, factors that cause Down syndrome children, problems with Down syndrome sufferers and cognitive and behavioral problems. The development of a child with Down Syndrome is certainly different from the development of a healthy child. Excessive expression of chromosomes leads to a decrease in the number of nerves in the central nervous system, delayed myelination, disruption of cell cycle regulation, and causes excessive protein production and abnormal neurotransmission. Problems for people with Down syndrome are hearing problems and impaired vision, congenital heart disease, and growth problems when they were babies. The tendency for psychological and mental disorders in children with Down syndrome can cause compulsive obsession. Obsession is a thought or image that cannot be prevented and continues to exist in a person's consciousness even if he views it as something unpleasant and wants to avoid. A compulsion is a stereotypical act that prompts a person to repeat the action.

Published: November 2020

The idea of information security lead to the evolution of cryptography. In other words, cryptography is the science of keeping information secure. It involves encryption and decryption of messages. The core of cryptography lies in the keys involved in encryption and decryption and maintaining the secrecy of the keys. Another important factor is the key strength, i.e. the difficulty in breaking the key and retrieving the plain text. There are various cryptographic algorithms. In this project we use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) over Galois field. This system has been proven to be stronger than known algorithms like RSA, DSA, etc. Our aim is to build an efficient elliptic curve cryptosystem for secure transmission or exchange of confidential emails over a public network.
Virtualized DB Clustering and Server Consolidation: It’s Implementation with a Live Case Study
Authors: Patnaik Ram Prasad , Nahak Dambaru Dhara
Published: November 2020

Virtualization is a technology that transforms today’s powerful computer hardware, which was designed to run a single operating system and a single application, to run multiple virtual machine having independent operating system. Many times, we observes that the server resources been underutilized. Virtualization allows us to efficiently utilize the available resources on physical machine. In virtualization environment, different virtualized machines can have different host operating system (i.e. different versions windows, Linux, Solaris etc). The most important concept to understand in virtualization is that, the virtual machines operating systems are independent from physical server operating system. This paper is an attempt to illustrate and appreciate the concept of virtualization and its implementation by using a live case study which we have implemented for one of our leading ETL tool development for a client. Case study elaborates the implementation details about Virtualized DB Clustering and Server Consolidation.
