ABSTRACT: Native fruits are economically important to small producers, and they are a important part of the diet of several communities. Therefore, postharvest studies of these fruits are essential. In addition, research involving their chemical composition can identify substances that add potential value to the fruits, especially from a nutritional and medicinal standpoint. This study characterized the fruits of the muricizeiro shrub (Byrsonima crassifolia, Malpighiaceae), which were harvested from native plants on private properties and stored for 16 days at a mean temperature of 12 °C. The fruits were evaluated during storage for: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ascorbic acid content, phenolics and carotenoids total, carotenoids profile, glucose, fructose and sucrose contents. Overall, the temperature that the fruits were storage at was effective at maintaining the quality of the fruit. However, the ascorbic acid content of the fruits did decrease during the storage period. Results showed that the fruits had a high antioxidant capacity, possibly because of the presence of phenolic compounds and carotenoids. It is also important to highlight that this fruit is source of vitamin A, owing to the high concentration of β-carotene.

Decolonialidade, lugar de fala e voz-práxis estético-literária: reflexões desde a literatura indígena brasileira
Authors: Danner Leno Francisco , Dorrico Julie , Danner Fernando
Published: March 2020

Resumo Argumentaremos, por meio da análise da literatura produzida por intelectuais indígenas brasileiros/as hodiernos/as, acerca da centralidade do lugar de fala das minorias em termos de crítica, reconhecimento e resistência. Enfatizaremos a imbricação e o sustento entre epistemologia e política que convergem e aparecem diretamente no sujeito-grupo menor. Sua singularidade antropológica e sua condição de marginalização, exclusão e violência, uma vez publicizadas política e culturalmente, implicam na desnaturalização e na politização da sociedade, pluralizando histórias, experiências, sujeitos, práticas e valores. Assim, no sujeito-grupo de minorias, converge o próprio processo histórico-político de formação da sociedade, em suas potencialidades e contradições. É aqui que a voz-práxis estético-literária das minorias adquire toda a sua pungência e, por meio da abertura paradigmática possibilitada pela arte, leva a uma perspectiva de descolonização da cultura e de descatequização da mente que gera crítica social acentuada e reflexividade política intensificada.

EXTREME EVENTS AND THE OIL MARKET: CONDITIONAL JUMP PROCESS
Authors: RESENDE MAX C. , PEDRO EVANDRO C.
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: This research aims to analyse price movements in the oil market stimulated by extreme events such as oil platform explosions, geopolitical events, and financial crises and to understand the reaction and the persistence of these effects on the commodity’s price. Originality/value: The prominent position of oil raises the concerns of investors, producers, and policymakers because of the unstable behaviour of its price level and pattern of volatility. This justifies the need to investigate the dynamics of this behaviour for the purposes of economic policy formation, strategies around trade and costs, and revenue calculations for companies of this sector, as well as investment decisions for other sources of energy. Design/methodology/approach: In order to model the occurrence of volatility jumps caused by extreme events, four specifications were used for the ARJI-GARCH conditional jumping methodology developed by Chan and Maheu (2002). The data consist of 2008 daily records of the closing price of light oil (WTI) from January 2010 to December 2017 obtained from NYMEX. Findings: Among several results it was verified that the occurrence of extreme events causes significant changes in the oil price, which goes against the efficient market hypothesis, and that a time-varying conditional jump process can be specified, but it has little sensibility to past shocks and very short-term persistence.

Published: March 2020

Abstract Objective : To reveal children’s perceptions about the social identity of older adults. Methods : A qualitative and exploratory-descriptive study was carried out with 17 children enrolled in the 4th year of elementary education of a private educational institution located in southern Brazil. For data collection, a semi-structured individual interview was used, together with graphic elucidation and storytelling, the audio of which was recorded, transcribed in full and analyzed by lexical analysis using the IRaMuTeQ® software, based on the Descending Hierarchical Classification. The Social Identity proposed by Berger and Luckmann was used as an analytical reference. Results : Six classes emerged, revealing that the children attribute dependency to the older adults, with aging reduced to a phase of weaknesses and limitations, but opportune for leisure. The health conditions of the older adults were related to the natural wear of aging and the results of previous choices, from healthy habits perpetuated throughout life. Conclusion : The social identity of the older adults from the perception of children is linked to senescence and senility that alter daily life in an adaptable but natural manner.
Sensory quality and consumers’ acceptance towards wild and farmed brown-trout (Salmo trutta) and farmed rainbow-trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Published: March 2020

Abstract The present study aims to compare the sensory qualities and the degree of acceptance of wild/farmed brown-trout (Salmo trutta) and the farmed rainbow-trout (Onchorynchus mykiss) by a consumer panel. Acceptability regarding attributes appearance, taste, texture, and global appreciation were evaluated on 20 wild brown-trout, 20 farmed brown-trout and 20 farmed rainbow trout by a consumers’ panel formed by 74 elements. Although the panel of consumers equally well accepted all samples, the rainbow trout had classifications slightly higher in all sensory attributes. This tendency was confirmed by internal preference maps performed for each studied attribute. Consumers’ slightly higher preference for farmed fish might indicate that farmed trout could be an alternative to wild brown trout.

Published: March 2020

Abstract The aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of sweet potato peel flour (SPPF) on the physicochemical, technological and sensorial characteristics of bovine hamburger. Four hamburger formulations were prepared added SPPF: F1 (0%), F2 (0.75%), F3 (1.5%) and F4 (2.25%). The flour was characterized by high levels of minerals, carbohydrate and dietary fiber, which improved the nutritional profile of the hamburger. There was an increase in moisture retention and shrinkage, as well as a reduction in fat retention and cooking yield, as the level of SPPF addition increased. The addition of flour in the product significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the values of L*, a* and b*. Similar acceptability to the standard sample was checked for the hamburger with the addition of up to 1.5% SPPF. However, all formulations had an acceptability index greater than 70%. It is concluded that SPPF is a potential ingredient to be added in bovine hamburger, improving nutritional and technological parameters and with low influence on the sensorial characteristics.
Thermostability of the visual color and anthocyanins from Rio-Grande-Cherry (Eugenia involucrata DC)
Authors: Oliveira Lauren Menegon de , Antelo Francine
Published: March 2020

Abstract The extract of Rio-Grande-Cherry (Eugenia involucrata DC), pure and with stevia addition (0.75% and 1.5%) and sucrose addition (20% and 40%), was subjected to heat treatment at 10 °C, 25 °C and between 50 °C and 90 °C. Anthocyanins and the color parameters C* and TCD (total color difference) followed first-order reaction kinetics while h° followed a zero order kinetic model, under all conditions. The addition of sweeteners, through the reduction of water activity, influenced the thermal stability of the anthocyanins and of the color parameters C*, h° and TCD was the most pronounced effect in the latter. The lower the temperatures, the most relevant was the effect of the sweeteners on increasing half-life. Thermodynamically, the degradation reaction of anthocyanins was defined as endothermic, as well as non-spontaneous and transition state of the molecules more structurally organized than the reactants.

Published: March 2020

Abstract This work aimed to isolate and identify Streptococcus and Lactobacillus species from raw cow’s milk obtained from Southwest Paraná - Brazil. We used randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR to identify and type 58Streptococcus and 48 Lactobacillus isolates, of which 04 Streptococcus thermophilus and 02 Streptpcoccus macedonicus were confirmed by species-specific PCR and by sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA of 02Streptococcus lutetiensis/infantarius, 10 Lactobacillus fermentum, 03 Lactobacillus delbrueickii subspecies bulgaricus, 01 Lactobacillus rhamnosus/casei and 02 Lactobacillus helveticus. The results indicated predominance of Streptococcus thermophillus and Lactobacillus fermentum. Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueickii subspecies bulgaricus strains were tested on the basis of their acidification kinetics. Considerable variation between the Streptococcus thermophilus was observed for the maximum rate of acidification (Vm), with a maximum of -4.5 and minimum of -4.2 pH milliunits min-1. The Lactobacillus delbrueickii subspecies bulgaricus showed values between -8.4 and -7.1 pH milliunits min-1. These results suggest that strains characterized as having a high acidifying capacity, could be used as starters in cheesemaking. The ferments presented an excellent performance in the acidification process, generating adequate curves, characteristics of a starter culture.
Application of FTIR-ATR to discriminate peach nectars with higher and lower sugar contents

Published: March 2020

Abstract Fruit juice does not have the same nutritional value as fresh fruit with regards to the vitamin, mineral and dietary fibre contents and the antioxidant properties. However, it can be part of a healthy diet if it is produced with the minimal addition of sugar. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the FTIR-ATR technique to discriminate the authenticity (concerning the addition of other pulps) and amount of sugar in peach nectars. This technique is usually used in food analysis because it does not require sample preparation, is quick and allows for the determination of several parameters with a single sample aliquot. The nutritional information provided on the labels of 69 samples of 23 different brands of commercial peach juice, was analysed. The differences in the nutritional composition and in the ingredients were determined according to an analysis of the labels. The largest differences observed between the samples were the sugar contents, the percentages of pulp and the addition of other pulps. All samples were analysed by FTIR-ATR equipped with a controlled temperature flow-through cell. The spectral multivariate analysis suggested it was possible to identify differences in the amount of sugar present and identify the presence of fruit pulps other than peach.
Chemical and physical evaluation, antioxidant and digestibility profiles of white and pigmented rice from different areas of Indonesia
Authors: Yuliana Nancy Dewi , Akhbar Muhamad Arif
Published: March 2020

Abstract Black rice and red rice are often claimed to have more health benefits than white rice. They have been reported to have greater antioxidant activity and lower digestibility than white rice, functional properties which are important to prevent the metabolic disorders related to diseases such as diabetes. However, rice grown in different areas or subjected to different processing has shown different physical, chemical and functional properties. Thus the objectives of this study were to determine the physical properties (hardness, colour and gelatinization profile), chemical properties (proximate composition, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant capacity), and the in vitro digestibility of Solok black rice (SBR), Solok red rice (SRR), Tangerang black rice (TBR), Cianjur red rice (CRR) and Cianjur white rice (CWR) cultivated in different areas in Indonesia. The results revealed that rice cultivated in different areas showed different physical characteristics and chemical compositions. The In vitro analysis of the digestibility of the starch with α-amylase showed that pigmented rice was less digestible (56.10% to 83.43%) than white rice (87.35%). A normal cooking method commonly used in society was found to significantly reduce the total phenolic content, flavonoids and antioxidant capacity of the rice.

Resumo Este estudo teve o objetivo de identificar e discutir aspectos bioéticos que envolvem a proibição de doação sanguínea por pessoas homoafetivas. Trata-se de revisão integrativa da literatura, com abordagem crítico-reflexiva de artigos disponíveis na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e publicados entre 2013 e 2018. Foram selecionados sete estudos que contemplaram a temática, a partir dos quais surgiram quatro categorias: “inaptidão para doação de sangue”; “só homossexuais praticam sexo anal?”; “saúde pública ou heterossexismo na saúde?”; e “considerações da bioética principialista para doação sanguínea de pessoas homoafetivas”, remetendo aos quatro pilares da teoria principialista. A bioética promove reflexões sociais, direciona linhas de pensamento ou questionamento e cria novos espaços para discussão do assunto. Os dilemas envolvidos nessa abordagem dizem respeito à negação dos quatro pilares bioéticos aos sujeitos homoafetivos, induzindo maleficência a esse grupo vulnerável e aos receptores do tecido sanguíneo.

Published: March 2020

Resumo Esta revisão integrativa da literatura tem por objetivo identificar os principais conflitos entre paciente em cuidados de fim de vida, familiares e equipe de saúde sob a ótica da ética principialista. A partir de pesquisa em bases de dados, chegou-se à amostra final de 12 publicações que, após avaliada pela técnica de análise de conteúdo, revelou três categorias temáticas: condutas profissionais – respeito à autonomia do paciente e ao princípio da beneficência; princípios bioéticos no contexto dos cuidados de fim de vida; e dilemas bioéticos nesse mesmo cenário. Autonomia e beneficência são fatores preponderantes nos cuidados de fim de vida, ratificando a ideia de que o paciente é o ator principal e necessita de assistência humanizada e digna. Além disso, constataram-se fragilidades no processo de educação e comunicação, e na relação entre equipe, enfermo e familiares.

RESUMO Objetivo Compreender a modelagem do cuidado familiar à criança com Síndrome Congênita por Zika a partir das contribuições teóricas da Rosácea do Cuidado na situação crônica. Métodos O estudo foi realizado entre outubro e novembro de 2017 com 11 familiares, explorando entrevistas em profundidade e o desenho estória-tema para a produção de dados. Resultados A Rosácea do Cuidado pode ser disparada a partir do cuidado próprio ou do cuidado familiar, desempenhando atitudes cuidativas construídas por experiências familiares anteriores e interações com o cuidado apreendido nos serviços de saúde. A modelagem do cuidado é sustentada pelo núcleo familiar constituído por mãe, pai e avó, organizando-a em quatro dimensões: Cuidar integralmente, “Tomar conta”, Estimular e, Acessar recursos e serviços. A mãe reconhece as necessidades da criança, julga as habilidades dos familiares e define o responsável pelo cuidado. Conclusão e implicações para a prática A modelagem do cuidado é personalíssimo devido o cenário de epidemia e de pouco conhecimento científico à época, resultando em inovações das atitudes cuidativas. Cabe às(aos) enfermeiras(os) apoiar os familiares para reconhecimento das necessidades de saúde que emergem da criança, bem como potencializar a divisão de tarefas de cuidado, estimulando, principalmente, a adequação da carga horária de trabalho dos pais.

Published: March 2020

Abstract An evaluation was made of the effect of anthelmintic treatments on the performance of Simmental X Nellore crossbred calves before and after weaning. To this end, the calves were divided into three groups: (1) treated monthly with a low efficacy anthelmintic drug, ivermectin; (2) treated monthly with a highly effective anthelmintic drug, albendazole; and (3) untreated control group. All the groups in this experiment showed an average fecal egg count of less than 400 eggs per gram (EPG), and no clinical signs of parasitic gastroenteritis. The blood variables were within the normal range and no calf presented anemia. In most of the samplings, mean EPGs were significantly lower (P<0.05) in the group treated with albendazole. The calves received dietary supplementation before and after weaning, which enabled them to gain weight in every month of the experiment and reach a body weight of about 250 kg on the last sampling date, before turning one year old. The anthelmintic treatments did not affect body weight gain, leading to the conclusion that, when fed with suitable dietary supplements, Simmental X Nellore crossbred calves are not affected by gastrointestinal nematode parasites acquired by grazing.
Chemical composition of Achillea millefolium L. (Asteraceae) essential oil and insecticidal effect against Sitophilus granarius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)
Authors: Alkan Mustafa
Published: March 2020

Stored product pests are responsible for the quality and quantitative losses worldwide in stored products. Studies on the development of plant-based pest control strategies have been increasing in recent years. In this study, the insecticidal and behavioral effect of essential oil obtained from the Achillea millefolium L. (Asteraceae) plant were measured under laboratory conditions against two main stored product pests, Sitophilus granarius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae). Contact and fumigant activity tests were conducted at 0.10 (v/v) and 0.15 (v/v) concentration, and mortality rates were recorded at the end of the 24th and 48th hours. Pure acetone was used in the control group. Repellent activity tests were established at three different concentrations (0.025 µl/cm2, 0.06 µl/cm2 and 0.125 µl/cm2) and the effects of 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 12th hours were recorded. Additionally, the essential oil composition of A. millefolium was determined by using GC-MS. For both insects, essential oil did not demonstrate significant fumigant activity. At the end of 48 hours, the highest fumigant activity was determined with a mortality rate of 19.7% for R. dominica. This oil did not show any fumigant activity against Sitophilus granarius. At the end of 24 hours, the highest contact activity was determined against R. dominica at the dose of 0.15 (v/v) with a mortality rate of 99.2%. In the same period, the contact activity was determined as 83.4% for S. granarius. Consequently, the essential oil showed significant repellent activity against both pests.

Instructional Goal Structure, Gender, and Second Language Motivation Affecting English Language Achievement
Authors: Wariyo Lemecha Geleto
Published: March 2020

The study opted to: 1) Investigate differences between cooperative and competitive learning modes in the extent to which they affect English language achievement; 2) Find gender, intra-gender, and inter-gender differences in English language achievement within and across the cooperative, competitive, and control group learning conditions; and 3) Study the relationship between students’ motivation to learn the English language and English language achievement. The cooperative and competitive learning groups were used as treatment groups while the control group was the individualized learning group. An English language test was administered to 120 secondary school grade nine students. The 12-item mini-Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (Mini-AMTB) was administered to the students. Different parametric tests were used in the pre-test and post-test data analysis. Post-test data analysis results revealed that cooperative learners significantly outperformed both competitive learners and the control group, but the control group significantly outperformed competitive learners. The gender difference in English language achievement was not significant. The cooperative learning (CL) mode was favored by both male and female students but more favored by males. The five aggregate measures of the mini-AMTB (Integrativeness, Motivational Intensity, Attitudes towards the Learning Situation, Instrumental Orientation, and Parental Encouragement) produced significant positive correlations with English language achievement; however, Language Anxiety negatively and significantly correlated with English language achievement. The CL mode, with its effective CL technique, was recommended to be researched and applied by trained teachers to improve student achievement. Its implications for teacher training were also given. Treatment of second language motivation was recommended as an important issue in second language learning.
Managed Globalization 2.0: The European Commission’s Response to Trade Politicization
Authors: Garcia-Duran Patricia , Eliasson Leif Johan , Costa Oriol
Published: March 2020

Several studies have sought to explain the politicization of European Union’s (EU) trade policy during negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between the EU and Canada (CETA). This article contributes to the literature on the politicization of trade by assessing how politicization is addressed by those tasked with the content and implementation of trade policy, namely the European Commission (hereafter Commission). We identify the origin and definition of managed globalization (MG), and thereafter identify, through a qualitative content analysis of EU Trade Commissioners’ speeches from 2013 to late 2017, how the doctrine re-emerged as the leitmotif of EU trade policy. The Commission’s initial response to civil society organizations’ contestation over TTIP and CETA was to insist on the economic benefits of the agreements. As contestation intensified, we find indirect references to MG, as the Commission focused on clarifying that upholding European values was equally important to market access in EU trade policy. Then, from late 2016 until late 2017, the Commission’s messaging was directed primarily at populist fears of trade and globalization; emphasizing that protectionism was unnecessary, and that globalization could be controlled, culminating in the emergence of explicit references to MG. The article expands on existing research on MG by identifying trade politicization as a factor that prompted a modification and expansion of the MG doctrine and its use, while also discussing some accompanying policy changes.
The Selective Politicization of Transatlantic Trade Negotiations
Authors: Van Loon Aukje
Published: March 2020

European Union (EU) trade policy is in the spotlight. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations triggered substantial public mobilization which emerged in a surge of literature on trade politicization. Notwithstanding politicization’s topicality and significance, it varies considerably over time, across trade agreements negotiations as well as across EU member states. By picking up on the latter, this article examines why, despite similar economic benefits potentially to be gained from trade liberalization, TTIP negotiations revealed striking differences in politicization in Germany and the UK. Understanding this variation is illustrated by highlighting the impact of some of TTIPs’ substantial issues mobilizing a range of materially and ideationally motivated stakeholders, who in turn shaped diverging governments’ trade positions of the countries under scrutiny. In explaining this selective politicization across two European countries, focus is on three explanatory variables, domestic material interests (business associations and trade unions), societal ideas (voters and non-governmental organizations [NGOs]) dominant in these countries’ domestic politics, as well as their interaction with national institutions. For this reason, the societal approach to governmental preference formation is employed which provides a detailed exploration of these three domestic factors, as well as the importance of their interdependence, in shaping the TTIP positions of the UK and German governments.
Missing in Action? France and the Politicization of Trade and Investment Agreements
Authors: Meunier Sophie , Roederer-Rynning Christilla
Published: March 2020

Negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) and for the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada have provoked massive mobilization throughout Europe, both on the streets and online. Yet France, long at the epicenter of anti-globalization and anti-Americanism, has played a surprisingly modest role in the mobilization campaign against these agreements. This article asks why France did not contribute to anti-TTIP mobilization and, more broadly, how patterns of French mobilization over trade have changed over the past two decades. Using comparative-historical analysis, we explore to what extent this puzzling French reaction can be traced to changing attitudes towards the US, agenda-shaping by the French government, and transformations in the venues and techniques of social mobilization. We thus contribute to the growing literature on the politicization of trade agreements and offer insights into the links between domestic and international politics.
‘Authority Shifts’ in Global Governance: Intersecting Politicizations and the Reform of Investor–State Arbitration
Authors: Herranz-Surrallés Anna
Published: March 2020

The global investment regime is a prime example of the so-called ‘politicization beyond the state.’ Investment agreements with an Investor–State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism have become contested in several corners of the globe, triggering a widespread reform process encompassing national, regional and multilateral levels. This article examines the consequences of this confluence of politicization processes, focusing on the European Union (EU) and two key venues of ISDS reform: the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT). Combining different strands of politicization literature in International Relations and Political Science, the article advances a nuanced conceptualisation of the institutional consequences of politicization that goes beyond a deepening/decline dichotomy. Instead, the article examines whether and how politicization generates ‘authority shifts,’ either through a vertical move between international and national levels; and/or through a horizontal recalibration between public and private forms of governance. The article argues that although the EU’s initiative for global ISDS reform intended to rebalance public and private authority while strengthening its international character, the on-going reform processes at the UNCITRAL and the ECT may eventually lead to a (partial) dismantling of international authority.
Towards Explaining Varying Degrees of Politicization of EU Trade Agreement Negotiations
Authors: De Bièvre Dirk , Poletti Arlo
Published: March 2020

Over the last decade, European Union (EU) trade agreement negotiations in the form of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada have been strongly contested. By contrast, many other EU trade negotiations have sailed on with far less politicization, or barely any at all. In this contribution, we assess a series of plausible explanation for these very varying degrees of politicization across EU trade agreement negotiations—conceived of as the combination of polarization of opinions, salience given to them in public debate, and the expansion of the number of societal actors involved therein. Through a review of existing explanations, we show how each of these explanations faces a set of challenges. In the third section, we argue it is useful to conceive of these existing explanations as structural background conditions enabling agency on the part of interest group and civil society organizations. We therefore close by sketching how literature on the relationship between interest group mobilization and public opinion could inform further comparative research on trade policy negotiations, and on politicization of EU policy making in general.

Authors: Esterbrook S.A. , Orlova E.A. , Karpekova T.A. , Grebennikov Y.L.
Published: March 2020

The article provides a review of foreign research on the topic of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It presents a definition, symptoms of PTSD; identifies PTSD risk factors and group types; defines diagnostic criteria for PTSD diagnosis; reviews existing diagnostic instruments and therapy methods used to work with people who suffered from PTSD. As mentioned by various researchers, PTSD can be found in cultures with different level of socio-economic development, in various ethnic and social groups, and in different age groups. The authors of the work particularly focus their attention on presenting the cognitive-behavioral approach, which is used widely in therapies for individuals with PTSD. They review the theories and concept models as the basis for cognitive-behavioral therapy; identify valid diagnostic tools such interviews and self-reports frequently used for the diagnosis of PTSD; describe cognitive-behavioral methods and techniques; present the basic structure for the therapeutic programs. As pointed by the authors of the article, the effectiveness of the cognitive –behavioral approach as shown by vary theoretical and experimental researches prove validity and reliability of cognitive-behavioral methods as well as their successful implementation in therapeutic work with people with PTSD.
A New Procedure for Evaluating Ground-Motion Models, with Application to Hydraulic-Fracture-Induced Seismicity in the United Kingdom
Authors: Cremen Gemma , Werner Maximilian J. , Baptie Brian
Published: March 2020

An essential component of seismic hazard analysis is the prediction of ground shaking (and its uncertainty), using ground-motion models (GMMs). This article proposes a new method to evaluate (i.e., rank) the suitability of GMMs for modeling ground motions in a given region. The method leverages a statistical tool from sensitivity analysis to quantitatively compare predictions of a GMM with underlying observations. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method relative to several other popular GMM ranking procedures and highlight its advantages, which include its intuitive scoring system and its ability to account for the hierarchical structure of GMMs. We use the proposed method to evaluate the applicability of several GMMs for modeling ground motions from induced earthquakes due to U.K. shale gas development. The data consist of 195 recordings at hypocentral distances (R) less than 10 km for 29 events with local magnitude (ML) greater than 0 that relate to 2018/2019 hydraulic-fracture operations at the Preston New Road shale gas site in Lancashire and 192 R<10  km recordings for 48 ML>0 events induced—within the same geologic formation—by coal mining near New Ollerton, North Nottinghamshire. We examine: (1) the Akkar, Sandikkaya, and Bommer (2014) models for European seismicity; (2) the Douglas et al. (2013) model for geothermal-induced seismicity; and (3) the Atkinson (2015) model for central and eastern North America induced seismicity. We find the Douglas et al. (2013) model to be the most suitable for almost all of the considered ground-motion intensity measures. We modify this model by recomputing its coefficients in line with the observed data, to further improve its accuracy for future analyses of the seismic hazard of interest. This study both advances the state of the art in GMM evaluation and enhances understanding of the seismic hazard related to U.K. shale gas development.
Factores que predicen la permanencia estudiantil: análisis en un escenario de educación técnica
Authors: Olarte Moyano Juan Carlos
Published: March 2020

El objetivo de este estudio es examinar las variables de ingreso de los estudiantes que pueden predecir la permanencia estudiantil mediante el relacionamiento de siete variables ampliamente estudiadas en la literatura y de interés para el contexto de estudio. El modelo propuesto relaciona la edad, el género, el estado civil, la ciudad de residencia, el estrato, los resultados de las pruebas de estado y el tipo de colegio donde terminó los estudios de secundaria como variables explicativas de la permanencia estudiantil. Para el análisis se utilizó el modelo de Cox de riesgos proporcionales ya que incluye las ventajas de un modelo de duración al tener en cuenta el tiempo de ocurrencia de un evento y permite incluir variables de correlación. La investigación arrojó relaciones estadísticamente significativas en las variables de edad y estrato social como predictores de la permanencia estudiantil.
La influencia del género en el aprendizaje matemático en España. Evidencias desde PISA
Authors: Fuentes De Frutos Silvia , Renobell Santaren Víctor
Published: March 2020

Diferentes estudios muestran como el factor género es una variable que incide en el rendimiento matemático. El presente artículo indaga sobre la existencia y evolución de una brecha de género en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en España, con base a los resultados de la evaluación del Programa Internacional para la Evaluación de Estudiantes (PISA) en todas sus ediciones. Se valora también la competencia matemática de los alumnos españoles, sin diferencia de género. Se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica de los últimos 30 años y un análisis multisectorial de los datos suministrados por los informes PISA. En el histórico los resultados destacan un mejor desempeño por competencias en estudiantes del género masculino. Por otra parte, los hallazgos más actuales indican una notable mejoría en el rendimiento matemático por parte de los españoles, en este caso, sin distinción de género. Se concluye en la necesidad de profundizar en la comprensión del autoconcepto interno e ir más allá de las propias construcciones sociales para disminuir las brechas entre los diferentes géneros en las pruebas referidas.
FROM POWER PLANT TO MUSEUM: A SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION
Authors: KURAK AÇICI Funda
Published: March 2020

Throughout history, cities have needed
industrialization since they emerged. Industrialization requires electric power
plants because they meet the electricity demand of cities. However, old power
plants failed to meet the energy demand of developing cities over time.
Therefore, many were shut down, abandoned or demolished. The sustainability of
buildings reflecting urban history and witnessing industrialization is an
important architectural issue. Sustainable cities and sustainable architecture
are made possible by reintegrating such buildings into urban life. From a
material and spiritual point of view, cities and city dwellers benefit the
transformation and reutilization of existing resources as well. The subject of
this study is the transformation of Silahtaraga, which is located in Istanbul
and the first electric power plant in Turkey. A modern example of industrial
architecture built between 1910 and 1914, Silahtaraga was a coal-fired power
plant that met the electricity demand of the city. It was then the first urban
scale thermal power plant of the Ottoman state. However, it failed to meet the
increasing demand of the city, and therefore, was completely shut down and
abandoned in 1983. It was transformed and conserved through refunction in 2007.
Today, it is used as a museum of energy, a museum of contemporary art and a
library. The
study discusses the history, transformation, significance and
re-functionalization of Silahtaraga power plant built during the
industrialization process. The aim of the study is to highlight the necessity
of revitalization and refunction of buildings which have witnessed urban
history and held a distinguished position in urban memory and identity.
