Authors: Pogorelskaya S.
Published: May 2021

On December 1st, 2009, the pan-European Treaty named after the place of its signature "The Treaty of Lisbon" became operative and marked the beginning of a new stage of political integration. However, having at least temporarily worked out the issue of institutes, has the European Union managed to overcome those of its remote problems that have destined the ambitious "constitutional" project to fail? Is the "post-Lisbon" EU able to remove the accumulated democracy deficits and the increased estrangement of citizens from the pan-European idea, to determine what the united Europe represents, where its political borders are, and what it wishes to become in the long run? This article is devoted to these issues.

Risk Factors in Equilibrium Models of Open Economies
Authors: Kuz'min D.
Published: May 2021

World liquidity crisis, which started in the USA in 2007, is reputed to be the first full-fledged global financial crisis. The liquidity crisis became global exactly due to the influence of large economies' national financial markets on many small ones. The analysis of the crisis expansion and development in these states (the USA, China, Iceland, Mexico, CEE countries) demonstrated that not only working accounts and reserves, but also foreign and internal borrowings, and therefore, household consumption, investments and government consumption proved to be affected by cyclic processes.

Authors: Sindeev A.
Published: May 2021

At a first glance, the article is treating a private issue, namely that of the feasibility of the concept of a “Europe of citizens” in the Federal Republic of Germany. However, while discussing it we have to analyze at least three fundamental issues. 1). What is the West German democracy? 2). How democracy and Western/European integration are interlinked? 3). To what extent the concept of a “Europe of citizens” is able to lead both integration and democracy from the currently difficult situation in which are these two main components of the contemporary Western civilization?

The dimension of teaching-learning in Physics teaching: interfaces with the choice of high school students
Authors: Ferreira Álex de Carvalho
Published: May 2021

The present work approaches the teaching-learning process and the bases of professional knowledge, focusing on the context of Teaching, specifically, in Physics teaching. By analyzing the students' perception of teaching Physics in Basic Education and its relationship with entering higher education, through field research, this study presents a reflection on the importance of thinking about the teaching-learning process in Basic Education, explaining the means that this teaching takes place, the difficulties (or not) encountered, as well as the influence of this process for entering higher education. The research is guided by a qualitative approach, configured to the survey research procedures, the collaborative participants were students of the Physics Degree course, from the State University of Southwest Bahia - UESB, from the Itapetinga-BA campus. As a result of the analysis, it became evident that the conception of the teaching-learning process that predominates in Physics classes, in Basic Education, is based on a traditional perspective, using only the didactic resource, the blackboard, the brush and the textbook, placing focusing on teacher action as an essential factor for learning. Thus, the tastes, affectivity, difficulties and learning in Physics classes, places the teacher as an influencer of the teaching-learning process, emphasizing the bases of professional knowledge as essential knowledge for the improvement of the teacher's action, and consequently, in the teaching of Physics.

Os estados do Pará e do Ceará são destaques na aquicultura nas regiões Norte (Amazônica) e Nordeste do Brasil, respectivamente. Estes estados estão desenvolvendo políticas publicar para proporcionar o desenvolvimento desta atividade, com base na Teoria dos stakeholders. O uso da análise dos stakeholders como ferramenta para o planejamento estratégico tem se tornado bastante popular nos campos da administração e no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas nas duas últimas décadas (XAVIER, 2010). Este trabalho teve por objetivo identificar o perfil sócioeconômico dos stakeholders e dos aquicultores do Pará e do Ceará; identificar as principais forças, oportunidades, fraquezas e ameaças e definir prioridades a serem levadas em conta na elaboração de políticas públicas que proporcionem o desenvolvimento da aquicultura nestes dois estados. Foram realizadas oficinas técnicas para realizar o levantamento de informações in loco; no período de agosto de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020; nas quais foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas: aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado para fins de identificação do perfil socioeconômico dos stakeholders e dos aquicultores; elaboração da matriz SWOT para a identificação das principais forças, oportunidades, fraquezas e ameaças, e elaboração da Matriz GUT para a definição de prioridades. Os resultados encontrados permitiram atingir os objetivos propostos neste estudo e estão descritos na seção específica. As principais limitações da pesquisa foram a ausência de dados relativos aos stakeholders da aquicultura, que não sejam os próprios aquicultores; assim como a pouca disponibilidade de informação referente às questões de planejamento e gestão estratégica para a aquicultura. A principal contribuição deste estudo diz respeito à utilização de uma ferramenta de gestão – a Teoria dos stakeholders, para a geração de informações para a elaboração de políticas públicas setoriais e sua originalidade pode ser atestada pela identificação do perfil socioeconômico dos stakeholders da aquicultura, uma vez que trabalhos anteriores utilizam basicamente, somente os aquicultores.

Collaborative Creation of Regional Opioid-Prescribing Guidelines in Orthopaedics
Authors: Bisson Leslie J. , Kluczynski Melissa A. , Intrieri Kevin M. , Bisson Rian C. , Del Prince Clayton
Published: May 2021

Background:

Interventions designed to decrease opioid prescribing in orthopaedics have been effective when employed by specific institutions, subspecialties, and procedures. The objectives of this study were to examine the effectiveness of developing regional guidelines on opioid-prescribing practices after common orthopaedic surgical procedures, to determine whether compliance with the guidelines varied by procedure, and to measure the effect of the guidelines on patient satisfaction. All objectives were assessed at 1 participating institution.

Methods:

In February 2018, 53 orthopaedic surgeons representing 8 practices in Western New York attended a summit meeting to collaboratively create regional opioid-prescribing guidelines for 70 common orthopaedic procedures; these guidelines were later distributed electronically to all orthopaedists in Western New York. We retrospectively examined opioid-prescribing practices for adults undergoing an orthopaedic surgical procedure performed by 1 large practice in October 2017, 4 months before the summit meeting (776 patients), and in July 2018, 5 months after the summit meeting (653 patients). The number of opioid pills prescribed postoperatively and patient satisfaction were compared before and after the summit meeting using t tests.

Results:

The overall mean number of opioid pills (and standard deviation) prescribed postoperatively decreased from 69.5 ± 45.5 pills before the summit to 43.3 ± 28.0 pills after the summit (p < 0.0001). Sports medicine surgeons reduced the number of pills prescribed for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, knee arthroscopy with meniscectomy, and shoulder arthroscopy with decompression; and adult reconstruction surgeons reduced the number of pills prescribed for total hip and knee arthroplasty. There was no change in the number of pills prescribed for lumbar spine fusion or implant removal. Satisfaction with the provider did not differ from before to after the summit; 75% of patients in the pre-summit group and 76% of patients in the post-summit group reported receiving excellent service (p = 0.62).

Conclusions:

The creation of regional opioid-prescribing guidelines in a collaborative fashion was assessed at 1 participating institution and was found to be effective at reducing the number of opioid pills prescribed by the orthopaedic surgeons participating in the project without affecting patient satisfaction, but adherence to the guidelines varied by procedure.

La zonificación territorial como instrumento de planificación y gestión de destinos turísticos afectados por desastres naturales: la estrategia posterremoto de 2016 en Portoviejo (Ecuador)
Authors: Mendoza Montesdeoca Iván , Alcívar Cabrera Gema Leonela
Published: May 2021

Esta investigación pretende demostrar cómo la utilización de la técnica de zonificación en la planificación urbana puede contribuir a la recuperación de los sistemas de gestión turística y comercial en ciudades afectadas por desastres naturales como este caso de Portoviejo, tras haber atravesado por un sismo de 7,8º en la escala de Richter en 2016. Este trabajo utiliza un enfoque exploratorio descriptivo diseñado en dos fases clave: la primera, en la que se realizó un diagnóstico turístico integral, y la segunda, en la que se levantó una planimetría georreferenciada en la que se representó el estado del sistema socioeconómico y ambiental de la ciudad por barrios y distritos. Entre los resultados obtenidos destaca el fuerte impacto sufrido en la economía local por el desastre natural y la factibilidad positiva para la ejecución de una zonificación turística a partir del Plan de Ordenación Territorial cantonal. Se procedió para ello una evaluación de los distintos sectores urbanos de la ciudad desde el punto de vista socio ambiental y económico hasta distinguir cuatro zonas principales: zona de mayor sostenibilidad; turística; residencial; comercial y empresarial. Se concluye con la confirmación de que el diseño de una zonificación territorial constituye una buena herramienta para la ordenación y planificación turística del territorio y la eficiencia de su sistema de gobernanza, con el objeto de fomentar el desarrollo sostenible y la recuperación de destinos afectados por este tipo desastres.

Alquiler turístico y alquiler de temporada. Diferencias e implicaciones derivadas en España
Authors: García Serrano María
Published: May 2021

En este trabajo se intentan identificar y aclarar las principales diferencias entre alquilar una vivienda con fines turísticos y alquilarla para otros fines de carácter temporal y residencial, dado que nos encontramos en ambos casos con dos tipos de contratos de alquiler que tienen una regulación diferente: el primero de ellos a través de la ordenación turística de las Comunidades Autónomas y el segundo a través de la normativa estatal básica. Se comienza este artículo analizando el alquiler de temporada para después continuar con el alquiler turístico, resaltando sus principales características, y de manera práctica y sencilla las principales diferencias entre ambos. Para delimitar el concepto de arrendamiento de una vivienda con finalidad turística, comúnmente conocido como alquiler vacacional, nos detenemos en la conceptualización de qué se entiende por vivienda con fines turísticos, según, en concreto, en la normativa de ordenación turística de Andalucía.

Los Parques Nacionales argentinos declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Un análisis de su atractividad turística
Authors: TORTUL MARINA , ELÍAS SILVINA , LEONARDI ViVIANA
Published: May 2021

Desde el año 1972, la UNESCO incorpora en su lista de Patrimonio las áreas geográficas que por sus características culturales y/o naturales son objeto de cuidado y preservación.  Cuando un Parque Nacional es declarado sitio Patrimonio Mundial (SPM) aumenta su jerarquización en la conservación de la biodiversidad y presumiblemente el flujo de turistas. En Argentina, hay declarados 13 SPM, de los cuales 4 constituyen Parques Nacionales (UNESCO, 2019). El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar si el arribo de turistas a Parques Nacionales Argentinos (PN) es mayor en aquellos que reciben una nominación UNESCO como SPM. La metodología empleada ha sido descriptiva y se ha trabajado con información secundaria de la Dirección de Parques Nacionales y del Anuario Estadístico de Turismo. El análisis descriptivo estudia la distribución de los parques en el territorio argentino, el arribo de turistas a los mismos, su concentración y crecimiento durante el período 1991-2015. Los resultados muestran que el turismo de PN ha crecido exponencialmente durante 1991-2015, observándose una marcada preferencia por los PN declarados SPM (Iguazú, Talampaya, Los Alerces y Los Glaciares).

Potencialidades turístico-recreativas del patrimonio nuclear del sur de España: una visión geográfica
Authors: MUÑOZ CASTILLO JUAN ANTONIO
Published: May 2021

En este trabajo se analiza desde una óptica geográfica el patrimonio nuclear del Sur de España que se concentra en un conjunto de territorios que, vinculados a la energía nuclear en distintas facetas de nuestra historia reciente, presentan no pocas posibilidades como soporte de nuevos productos turístico-recreativos, los cuales se intentan identificar en esta investigación. Se trata de territorios con fuerte éxodo rural y despoblación, importante crisis de sus actividades económicas tradicionales y lexcesiva dependencia de los subsidios y ayudas sociales públicos, a lo que se suma el desmantelamiento de sus instalaciones vinculadas a la energía nuclear y/o la extracción de uranio. Asimismo, sufren el lastre que para la imagen de sus territorios representa su “pasado nuclear”, que ha frenado o suspendido proyectos que podrían haber servido para aliviar su estado actual de fuerte depresión socioeconómica y emprender algunas iniciativas de desarrollo sostenible. Por tanto, en este estudio se pretenden vislumbrar las posibilidades de generación de actividades y productos turísticos-recreativos, de educación ambiental, culturales o de turismo rural y turismo deportivo de naturaleza que puedan insertar adecuadamente estas áreas en los mercados turísticos nacionales e internacionales, contribuyendo así a buscar fórmulas complementarias de desarrollo y generación de ingresos para las poblaciones rurales que las integran.

Game theoretic analysis of a three-stage interconnected forward and reverse supply chain
Authors: Das Manojit , Jana Dipak Kumar , Alam Shariful
Published: May 2021

The dynamic economic scenario of today ensures that industrial and environmental policies that contribute to greener supply chain are incorporated. This paper considers an interconnected three-stage forward and reverse supply chain, which provides green products to a green conscious market. The procurement of raw materials is responsible for the first stage of the supply chain; The second manufacturing/remanufacturing process; And the third stage of marketing the products to the consumer. There is one supplier, one manufacturer, and one retailer in the forward supply chain. New raw materials are used in this supply chain, and new products are manufactured and sold. There is also a market for remanufactured products and in this market, the same retailer also sells. There is one collector, one remanufacturer, and one retailer in the reverse supply chain. From consumers the collector collects used products; processes and sells the remanufacturable ones to the remanufacturer. If the raw materials supplied by the collector are not adequate to satisfy the demand, the remanufacturer purchases the remainder from the seller. Both the manufacturer and the remanufacturer use green manufacturing processes. Two models namely centralized model and decentralized model are formulated. A numerical example is taken to illustrate the two model and perform sensitivity analysis.
Reducing uncertainty in local climate projections
Authors: Qasmi Saïd , Ribes Aurélien
Published: May 2021

Planning for adaptation to climate change requires accurate climate projections. Recent studies have shown that the uncertainty in global mean surface temperature projections can be considerably reduced by using historical observations. However, the transposition of these new results to the local scale is not yet available. Here we adapt an innovative statistical method that combines the latest generation of climate model simulations, global observations, and local observations to reduce uncertainty in local temperature projections. By taking advantage of the tight links between local and global temperature, we can derive the local implications of global constraints. The model uncertainty is reduced by 30\% up to 50\% at any location worldwide, allowing to substantially improve the quantification of risks associated with future climate change. A rigorous evaluation of these results within a perfect model framework indicates a robust skill, leading to a high confidence in our constrained climate projections.
The calculation of the allowable diametrical inaccuracy of the cycloidal driving bores in a cycloidal drive with a given profile error and transmission ratio fluctuation
Authors: Csobán Attila
Published: May 2021

Cycloidal drives are getting more and more widespread due to their beneficial properties. The greatest advantage of these transmissions compared to other general-purpose industrial transmissions, but even compared to the more widespread types of planetary gears, is their ability to operate with large transmission ratios and good efficiency under larger performance density. A smaller amount of play and the minimal fluctuation of transmission ratios, which fundamentally define the kinematic properties of these high precision premium transmissions, can only be achieved by increasing the manufacturing accuracy, decreasing the magnitude of manufacturing errors and limiting the tolerance field. The current research, has focused on finding the allowable manufacturing accuracy of transmissions that are primarily manufactured by small scale or by one-off production, and discusses the effect of the cycloidal driving bores diametrical inaccuracy in a cycloidal disc, that was manufactured with wire electrical discharge machining and contains profile defects.

Authors: mahato bidyut , Majumdar Saikat , Jana Kartick Chandra , Babaei Ebrahim , Mohanta Dushmanta kumar
Published: May 2021

A novel generalized modular MLI topology blends the unique advantages associated with existing MLIs to enhance the output voltage level incorporating a comparatively lesser number of power electronic components for similar performances. The unique features of the proposed topology pertain to lower distortion as well as total standing voltage (TSV) and best level-switch ratio (LSR) amongst the state-of-art MLIs. Extensive simulations using MATLAB/Simulation platforms as well as experimental models of single-phase 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 level inverter validate the superiority of the proposed topology for pragmatic applications in uninterruptable power supplies, photovoltaic farms, wind farms, and fuel cells.

Published: May 2021

Purpose
The determination on how antineoplastic agents interfere on the progression of periodontitis is critical for improvement and even development of novel therapeutic approaches for periodontal management. This study evaluated the influence of chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or cisplatin (CIS) on healthy periodontal tissues and on the progression of experimental periodontitis (EP).
Methods
One-hundred-forty-four male rats were divided into six groups (n = 24). Each group was treated with physiological saline solution (PSS) 0.9%, 5-FU or CIS. Experimental periodontitis (EP) was induced by ligature placement. Animals were euthanized at 7, 15 and 30 days after treatment. Data were statistically analyzed (p ≤ 0.05).
Results
The groups with EP and treated with 5-FU or CIS showed lower percentage of bone volume in the furcation region and higher percentage of alveolar bone loss, higher number of TRAP-positive cells and lower number of PCNA-positive cells when compared group with EP and treated with PSS (p ≤ 0.05). Groups with EP and treated with 5-FU or CIS showed high immunolabelling pattern of RANKL, TNF-α, IL-1β, moderate of BAX and low of HIF-1α. Histological analysis showed severe tissue breakdown in the groups with EP and treated with 5-FU or CIS.
Conclusions
Chemotherapy with antineoplastic agents 5-FU and CIS increasing the intensity and duration of the inflammation; and compromising tissue repair by reduction in cellular and vascular turnover. The more severe periodontal breakdown was caused by 5-FU.
“Continuous Shadow of Mother’s Breast Cancer”: Exploring the Voice of Daughters
Authors: Fang Su Ying , Wang Yu-Ming , Lee Kuo-Ting
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Women whose mothers have been diagnosed with breast cancer are concerned about their mothers’ illness and fear developing cancer themselves. This study aims to understand daughters’ lived experiences after their mothers have been diagnosed with breast cancer in Taiwan. Method: In-depth interviews were conducted to understand the daughters’ emotional reactions to their mothers’ diagnoses, their challenges with taking care of their mothers, and their concerns or perceptions regarding their own risks of developing breast cancer. Themes were identified through a content analysis. Results: An analysis of 18 transcripts revealed six themes: “taking care of my mother is my responsibility”, “desiring sufficient information/support”, “feeling helplessness in providing care”, “expecting a cancer diagnosis in fear”, “anticipating a resolution other than surveillance”, and “worrying about myself is not a priority”. Conclusion: The daughters prioritized the responsibility of caring for their mothers physically and psychologically rather than managing their own cancer concerns. Health care professionals should be aware of these priorities to provide education regarding the care of high-risk populations and psychological support to the adult daughters.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the scientific community has explored determinants of Covid 19 disease severity. However, the majority of studies are based on in-hospital patients with high risk of collider- or selection bias. The present investigation details risk factors associated with overall mortality, hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) admission in Covid-19 infections, with complete population coverage and high-resolution data on patient characteristics and comorbid conditions. Methods: This population-based observational study comprises all residents 18 years and older in Stockholm Region – 1.8 million inhabitants - using the real-time Covid-19 monitoring framework. The observation period lasted between March 1 to December 31, 2020. Hazard ratios (HR) for risk factors of Covid-19 disease severity were assessed using Cox proportional hazard models. Results: In total, 3,322 deaths, 11,508 hospitalizations and 1,423 ICU-admissions related to Covid-19 occurred during the study period. Kidney failure, diabetes and obesity increased risk of mortality and so did heart failure and ischemic heart disease. However, atrial fibrillation and hypertension did not. Risk of hospitalization follow a similar pattern, whereas admission to intensive care differs; triage processes where clearly present as certain co-morbid conditions were associated with lower ICU-admission. Conclusions: Observed differences in risk of mortality and hospitalization among patients with Covid 19 raise important questions about potentially protective co-medication which will be further addressed using the real-time Covid-19 monitoring framework.

Background: The ADHD Shared Care Pathways is a program that has been developed in Canada with two main strategies: (a) to implement shared care between general practitioners (GPs) and specialists, and (b) to implement stepped care in which the patient is treated at the most appropriate level of care, depending on complexity or outcome of their illness. The current study aims to identify challenges and facilitators in implementing this program in a Chinese context. Methods: Two focus groups were conducted using semi-structured interviews with a total of 7 healthcare providers in Beijing. A grounded theory approach using open, axial and selective coding provided three main themes pertaining to the barriers and facilitators faced at: (1) a social-level from of the perspectives of patients and healthcare providers; (2) at a structural-level related to both internal and external organizational environments; (3) and at the intervention-level. Results: Results reveal multilayered challenges in implementing an ADHD Shared Care Pathways program for children in China. Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of consultation in a new implementation context in order to get a “lay of the land”. By extension, our results demonstrate areas for service development and further research.

In this work, we have introduced theoretically a novel design of a 1D phononic crystal model acting as a sensor for gasoline components (blends). The proposed sensor is prepared to distinguish between different components of gasoline with high performance. The sensor is designed from a defect layer filled with one of the gasoline blends in the middle of a 1D multilayer phononic crystal configured as, [(lead/ epoxy)2 gasoline [(lead / epoxy)2] . The numerical investigations are obtained based on the transfer matrix method and the acoustic properties of the constituent materials. The numerical results showed that our sensing tool can distinguish between different gasoline blends with high selectivity and sensitivity at the same time. In addition, the monitoring of these blends could be obtained. The proposed sensor provides high sensitivity and quality factor that can reach 2.97×107 Hz and 5034, respectively.

The volatilization process of contaminants has been shown to play an important role in remediation of VOCs-contaminated soils. The aim of this paper is to study the volatilization characteristics of both toluene and water from soil, and to evaluate their interaction mechanism under different conditions. A test system is developed to measure mass loss of contaminants and water from soil by volatilization. It was found that basically the volatilization process could be divided into two stages in clay and one stage in sand. Two main influential mechanisms of water on the volatilization of toluene include molecules competitive adsorption and blocking of volatilization channels. In addition, the evaporation process of water was restricted by volatilization of toluene. Volatilization rate of toluene would increase with the increase of water content when the water content was low. But it would decrease with the increase of water content when the water content was higher than 15% in clay. In addition, there existed an optimal water content (15%) under which the maxium volatilization rate could be achieved.

The study analyzed the stand structure and carbon stock of the bamboo (Yushania alpina) over plantation niches of a tropical highland, Northwestern Ethiopia. Five sample plots (with a plot size of 10m*10m) in each of the niches (homestead, woodlot and riverbank) were selected randomly, and this was repeated in four different villages/sites for a total of sixty samples. Culm size (height and DBH), diameter (cm) and height (meter), density of clump (ha) and the number of the culms per clump, and age composition (year) were measured. The estimations of the above-ground and below-ground biomass were done based on allometric equation and root-to-shoot ratio of 1:5, respectively. For estimating the total carbon of the bamboo, the carbon fraction (0.47) was multiplied by the total biomass; and the total carbon was multiplied by 3.67 to estimate the carbon dioxide equivalent. A one-way ANOVA (P<0.05) was used to test whether group mean difference exists among the niches. The measured value of the culm diameter ranged from 5.1 ± 0.1cm – 6.1 ± 0.1cm. The lowest and highest values were observed in the riverbank and the homestead plantation niches, respectively. The homestead niche represents the highest value of culm density (27,945 ± 34 culms/ha), followed by the woodlot (22,775 ± 45 culms/ha) and the riverbank (20,375 ± 36 culms/ha) niches. The woodlot niche represents the highest value of clump stocking (1,885 ± 46 clumps/ha), followed by the riverbank (1,775 ± 27 clumps/ha) and the homestead (1,562 ± 11 clumps/ha) niches. The mean value of the total biomass, carbon storage and carbon equivalent capacity of the bamboo over the niches ranged from 85.4 ± 6 – 92.6 ± 6 t/ha, 40.1 ± 3 – 43.5 ± 2.9 t C/ha, and 147.3 ± 11– 159.7 ± 10 t CO2/ha, respectively. A significant group mean difference was observed among the bamboo plantation niches in all parameters for the presence of different purposes and management practices. The highest and the lowest values in all the parameters were observed in the homestead and the riverbank niches, respectively. The bamboo plantation needs to be adopted for land restoration and climate change mitigation.
