Authors: OLARU IONEL
Published: March 2020

The heat can have a direct impact on the mechanical elements by creating deformations and by causing the induction of additional stress in them. In designing of the heat exchangers or for the electronic components, the temperature changes for structural analysis as well as structural performance of thermal impact for the entire element must be analyzed. The study from this paper proposes an analysis and a simulation of flow through the convergent-divergent nozzle type to optimize the inlet of warm fluid to have minimum impact on the nozzle walls This analysis will be performed with a computer program specialized in complex analysis of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which will also take into account the fluid temperature and its influence throughout the system.

Authors: PAUNESCU LUCIAN , DRAGOESCU MARIUS FLORIN , AXINTE SORIN MIRCEA
Published: March 2020

The paper presents experimental results obtained in the process of making glass foam from glass waste using a cheap foaming agent (natural dolomite). The originality of the work is the application of the microwave energy, unlike the conventional techniques commonly used in the world. The main advantage highlighted by the experiments is the very low specific energy consumption (below 1.5 kWh/kg), due to the peculiarities of the microwave heating technique. The foamed product has physical, mechanical and morphological characteristics (density between 0.30-0.32 g/cm3, thermal conductivity between 0.064-0.067 W/m·K, compressive strength in the range 2.2-2.6 MPa), which are similar to those of foams made by conventional methods and are suitable for its use as insulating material in construction.

Authors: Velasco Andrade Pablo Raúl , Tamayo Ortiz Christian
Published: March 2020

Este trabajo se propuso analizar la gestión del riego en el valle del río Javita, provincia de Santa Elena, en el contexto de la puesta en marcha del trasvase Chongón San Vicente. Se trabajó con métodos participativos, recabando información de una muestra de productores. Los efectos del trasvase Chongón San Vicente se revelaron insuficientes en cuanto a eficacia, pertinencia, entorno institucional, aspectos sociales y culturales, y ambientales. Como casos de estudio, se hizo el análisis de cinco tipos de sistemas de producción. En todos los casos, los ingresos de actividades extra finca son superiores a lo obtenidos de actividades agropecuarias. Los sistemas de producción agropecuaria que mejores ingresos obtienen se dedican exclusivamente a cultivos bajo riego. La investigación determina como marco orientador que: la organización del riego se haga por grupos familiares; la administración, operación y mantenimiento corra a cargo de las juntas de riego; el reparto de agua se efectúe según la necesidad de los cultivos; el método de aplicación sea por goteo; la instalación vaya en función del ahorro de agua; los cultivos sean de preferencia de ciclo corto y transitorio; y, el destino de la producción se oriente al mercado regional o nacional. Para que el riego se convierta en un elemento dinamizador de la economía local, no basta con obras de infraestructura. Es indispensable que el Estado invierta en un programa de desarrollo rural inclusivo, equitativo y eficiente.

Published: March 2020

Objective: to evaluate the correlation between a group of conventional biomarkers of cardiovascular risk with the Castelli-I and Castelli-II indices, and TG/HDL-C ratio in patients assigned to a program of cardiovascular risk for users of the clinical laboratory service of an institution that provides health services in the southwest of the Colombia. Materials and Methods: retrospective, descriptive multivariate exploratory study, carried out in 2 126 patients. Some sociodemographic variables were analyzed, as well as glucose and lipid profile. The Castelli-I and Castelli-II indices, and TG/HDL-C ratio were calculated. The correlation among the variables was evaluated through a matrix of correlations, the correlation index and the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity. The analysis ended with a study of main components, which allowed to identify how the variables studied were grouped into components that characterized the population. Results: the average age was 56 ± 11 years; 68.7% were women; 48% hypercholesterolemic and 49% hypertriglyceridemic; 22% with alterations in glucose. Total cholesterol correlated positively with LDL-C and triglycerides negatively with HDL-C. Two components characterized the population, one related to cardiovascular risk and the other to lipid alterations. Conclusions: conventional biomarkers reveal high prevalences in dyslipidemias, in contrast to atherogenic indices. The results highlight the importance of considering the evaluation of these indices in primary care and the need to strengthen the measurement systems of clinical laboratories for the reliability of the data on which decisions are made for the management of these patients.

Published: March 2020

The optimal choice of euthanasia method for laboratory rodents depends on a number of factors, including the scientific goals of the study, the need to minimize animal pain and/or distress, applicable guidelines and laws, the training and proficiency of personnel, and the safety and
emotional needs of the personnel performing the euthanasia. This manuscript aims to provide guidance to researchers so they may select the method of euthanasia that results in minimal experimental confounds, such as the creation of artifact and alteration of tissues and analytes. Specific
situations addressed include euthanasia of large numbers of rodents and euthanasia of neonates. Recent literature supports the notion of significant strain-dependent differences in response to euthanasia methods such as CO2 inhalation. To assist researchers in selecting a strain-appropriate
method of euthanasia, the authors present a summary of methodologies for assessing the effectiveness of euthanasia techniques, including elements and parameters for a scoring rubric to assess them.

Authors: Gading Irvan , Marsih Linusia
Published: March 2020

This study aims to reveal gay habitus in Becky Albertalli's Simon VS The Homo Sapiens Agenda. This study is descriptive qualitative which applies both intrinsic and extrinsic approaches. The intrinsic approach is applied due to the fact that the study deals with the characterization of the main character in the novel. Moreover, the sociological approach is applied because the study is primarily concerned with a social phenomenon reflected inÂ  literary work as the novel portrays the representation of gay habitus reflected in the attitude and behaviours of one of the main characters in the novel. In revealing the gay habitus reflected in the novel, Bourdieu's theory of habitus is applied. The discussion is focused on the Simon's habitation as a gay and the factors that contribute to the formation of Simon's habitus as a gay. The result of the study shows that Simon develops gay habitus. The representations of his gay habitus include are having no attraction to the opposite sex, adoring the same sex, obsessing and fantasizing about the same sex, feeling jealous and cynical to the suspected competitors, and falling in love with the same sex. There are two factors that support the development of Simon's gay habitus i.e. primary and secondary socialization.

Sexual and gender-based violence: to tweet or not to tweet?
Authors: Masciantonio Alexandra , Schumann Sandy , Bourguignon David
Published: March 2020

This research explores the reasons that lead survivors of sexual and gender-based violence to share their experiences on Twitter, as well as the reasons that prevent them from doing so. Using an online survey, we investigated the perspective of 94 survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. Open-ended responses were analysed with the ALCESTE method, a lexical analysis. Considering that in-person self-disclosure differs from in-public self-disclosure, we based our interpretations of the findings on self-disclosure as well as collective action and social activism frameworks. Results showed that those who shared their experience on Twitter did so to render sexual and gender-based violence more visible, and to support the #MeToo movement. They also wanted to change public perceptions of sexual and gender-based violence, while addressing violence at work and denouncing rape culture (the difficulty of filing a complaint, and victim blaming). On the contrary, survivors who did not tweet their experience expressed several concerns, such as feeling ashamed, the fear of being judged by others, and a lack of trust in the Twitter platform and its members. This research concludes that in order to understand the disclosure of victimisation on social network sites, like Twitter, it is worthwhile to complement the self-disclosure framework with insights on collective action and social activism. We also make a call for taking into account differences of social network sites when studying online disclosure of sexual and gender-based violence. Content warning: This article discusses issues of sexual and gender-based violence.

Authors: Reddy A Amarender
Published: March 2020

The report assesses the impact of the Soil Health Card (SHC) Scheme in India which was introduced in year 2015. Under this scheme, government machinery has to distribute the SHCs to each farmer. The paper examined the implementation capability of the state and its impact on farmers’ incomes by using nationally represented sample of farmers. In India, out of 120 million farmers, only 56.6 million farmers received the SHCs by the end of 2017. The southern and western states are better in implementing the scheme with skilled manpower and labs with better implementation capabilities. Awareness among the farmers about SHC scheme was high at 66%. The cost of cultivation decreased and profitability increased due to optimal doses of fertilizers with SHC. State capabilities to implement the schemes like skilled staff and soil testing labs at district level needs to be upgraded.
Feasibility of using stopWatch smartwatch system for passive detection of cigarette smoking in the workplace
Authors: Hulls Paige , Stone Christopher J , de Vocht Frank , Munafo Marcus Robert , Richmond Rebecca , Martin Richard , Skinner Andy
Published: March 2020

Background: A number of different systems are available for passive detection of cigarette smoking, but few studies have reported the feasibility of using these in free-living conditions, and none so far have reported specifically on the feasibility of using these in workplace settings. Methods: We conducted a feasibility study of using stopWatch, a smartwatch-based system for passive detection of cigarette smoking, in workers in the construction industry. Participants wore stopWatch for three days midweek at work. Some also wore for three days over a weekend at home. They also kept paper diaries of cigarettes smoked. Results: Six cigarette smokers and two vapers were recruited. Mean number of cigarettes smoked per day was 6.1 and stopWatch detected on average 31% of these. Insufficient data were available for meaningful comparison of performance at work and home. No occurrences of vaping were detected as cigarette smoking by stopWatch. Discussion: The percentage of cigarettes smoked detected by stopWatch was lower than previously reported in free-living conditions (71%). We identified a number of practical reasons for this, including not keeping the smartwatch battery properly charged, the stopWatch application not being restarted correctly after the battery ran flat, and participants not wearing the smartwatch correctly. We make recommendations for addressing these issues.Conclusion: This is the first study of the feasibility of using a system for passive detection of cigarette smoking in a workplace setting. Several practical issues have been identified and recommendations made for improving the use of systems of this kind in future studies.
Visualizing Items and Measures: An Overview and Demonstration of the Kernel Smoothing Item Response Theory Technique
Authors: Rajlic Gordana
Published: March 2020

Motivated by a renewed interest in exploratory data analysis and data visualization in psychology and social sciences, the current demonstration was conducted to familiarize a broader audience of applied researchers with the benefits of an exploratory psychometric technique – kernel smoothing item response theory (KSIRT). A data-driven, nonparametric KSIRT provides a visual representation of the characteristics of the items in a measure (scale or test) and offers convenient preliminary feedback about functioning of the items and the measure in a particular research context. The technique could be a useful addition to the analytical toolkit of applied researchers that work with a range of measures, within the classical test theory or IRT framework, and is suitable for use with a smaller number of items or respondents compared to parametric IRT models. KSIRT is described and its use is demonstrated with a set of items from a psychological well-being measure. A recently developed, easy to use R package was utilized to perform the analyses and the R code is included in the manuscript.

У статті презентовано результати емпіричного дослідження взаємозв’язку конфліктних форм поведінки з рівнями розвитку емоційного інтелекту студентів; уточнено зміст поняття «конфліктні форми поведінки» та їх класифікацію, «емоційний інтелект» та його структурні компоненти; представлено витоки конфліктних форм поведінки відповідно до рівня емоційного інтелекту особистості на основі гендерних та вікових особливостей. Проаналізовано поняття конфліктних форм поведінки, їх класифікацію та причини виникнення, зокрема, визначено комплекс суб’єктивних та об’єктивних детермінант конфліктних форм поведінки. Конфліктні форми поведінки (КПФ) – це такий стиль поведінки людини (фізична, вербальна, непряма агресія, роздратування, негативізм, образа, підозрілість тощо), який призводить до виникнення конфліктів. Практично будьяка конфліктна поведінка поєднує в собі як суб’єктивні, так і об’єктивні причини її виникнення, тобто її основу складає комплекс детермінант. Конфліктні форми поведінки поділяються на м’які, нейтральні та жорсткі та у кожної особистості проявляються різною мірою. Студенти з високим рівнем розвитку емоційного інтелекту схильні до співпраці у конфлікті та прояву м’яких форм конфліктної поведінки (фіксація позиції, дружелюбність, угода тощо); студенти із середнім рівнем розвитку емоційного інтелекту найчастіше вдаються до компромісу у конфлікті та нейтральних форм конфліктної поведінки (демонстративні дії, санкціонування, коаліція); студенти з емоційним інтелектом нижче середнього рівня дотримуються більш жорстких форм конфліктної поведінки (фізичне та психологічне насильство, тиск тощо) та схильні до конкуренції у конфліктній ситуації. З’ясовано, що існує тісний прямий зв’язок між окремою групою конфліктних форм поведінки та відповідним рівнем розвитку емоційного інтелекту студентів, а саме: м’які конфліктні форми поведінки найчастіше застосовуються студентами із високим рівнем розвитку емоційного інтелекту; нейтральні конфліктні форми поведінки – студентами із середнім рівнем розвитку емоційного інтелекту; жорсткі конфліктні форми поведінки – студентами із низьким рівнем розвитку емоційного інтелекту.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПОБУДОВИ ЗВОРОТНОГО ЗВ’ЯЗКУ В ОНЛАЙН-КОМУНІКАЦІЇ ПСИХОЛОГА ПРИ ГРУПОВІЙ ВЗАЄМОДІЇ

Стаття присвячена роботі психологів із клієнтами в онлайн-просторі. Провідним інструментом діяльності психолога є спілкування. Воно обов’язково потребує якісного зворотного зв’язку незалежно від формату його реалізації. Психологи здійснюють групову професійну онлайн-взаємодію у форматі проведення вебінарів, майстер-класів, тренінгів, онлайн-конференцій, квестів і марафонів, влаштовують прямі трансляції на YouTube, прямі ефіри в Facebook чи Instagram. Психологічна онлайн-допомога – це сучасне альтернативне джерело надання повноцінної, високоякісної психологічної допомоги клієнтам. Але виникає проблема у побудові зворотного зв’язку в онлайн-форматі. Для успішної побудови зворотного зв’язку психолог має мати: 1) високий рівень комунікативної компетентності; 2) високий рівень комунікативного контролю; 3)організаторські здібності; 4) гнучкість; 5) креативні здібності. У дослідженні взяли участь психологи-практики (n=62). Підібраний банк методик дозволив оцінити рівень розвитку здібностей, які необхідні психологу-практику для успішної побудови зворотного зв’язку під час групової роботи в медіапросторі. За результатами проведеного дослідження за допомогою контент-аналізу, ми проаналізували як психологи вибудовують зворотний зв’язок з аудиторією на прикладі п’яти вебінарів і сформулювали методичні рекомендації щодо побудови зворотного зв’язку під час групової взаємодії в онлайн-просторі. Також ми виявили, що в 20% досліджуваних низький рівень розвитку здібностей, які має мати психолог-практик для успішної побудови групової взаємодії з клієнтами в онлайн-просторі. Приблизно 60% психологів мають високий рівень розвитку комунікативних та організаторських здібностей. Лише 19% респондентів мають добре розвинутий комунікативний контроль. У 70% досліджуваних спостерігається середній рівень розвитку гнучкості у поведінці та креативності. Перспективи подальших досліджень вбачаємо у теоретичному та емпіричному вивченні стану розвитку комунікативних та організаторських здібностей, рівня комунікативного контролю, гнучкості поведінки та креативності у студентівпсихологів.

Jembatan Sungai Jinal berada di ruas Desa Danau Caramin (Batas Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara)–Batas Kota Amuntai. Perencanaan struktur jembatan Sungai Jinal direncanakan pada tahun 2015 menggunakan peraturan pembebanan untuk jembatan RSNI 2005, seiring dengan waktu, standart tersebut perlu diperbarui sesuai dengan kondisi terkini menggunakan SNI 1725:2016.Perhitungan pembebanan yang dilakukan pada abutment jembatan sungai Jinal menggunakan SNI 1725:2016 dan  untuk  standar  perencanaan ketahanan  gempa  untuk  jembatan  menggunakan SNI  2883:2013.  Analisa perhitungan daya dukung tiang aksial menggunakan metode pendekatan statis yang terdiri dari data N-SPT, sedangkan untuk perhitungan daya dukung tiang lateral menggunakan metode pendekatan Suyono. Analisa perhitungan penulangan pada abutment menggunakan RSNI T-12-2004.Berdasarkan hasil analisa perhitungan diperoleh hasil daya dukung tiang sudah mampu menahan gaya-gaya yang bekerja pada jembatan dengan nilai daya dukung tiang tunggal  sebesar 128,6 ton.  Sedangkan pada perhitungan penulangan terdapat perbedaan hasil dimensi tulangan, dimana pada pilecap dimensi perencana tulangan tarik D19-150 sedangkan perhitungan D22-150, tulangan susut D19-100 sedangkan perhitungan D13-100, tulangan geser D10-300/300 sedangkan perhitungan D13-200/200. Pada penulagan breaswall dimensi tulangan tarik D25-120 sedangkan perhitungan D25-100, tulangan tekan D25-120 sedangkan perhitungan D19-100, tulangan susut D16-150 sedangkan perhitungan D19-125. Perbedaan hasil perhitungan disebabkan oleh peraturan pembebanan yang digunakan, standar perencanaan ketahanan gempa dan bentuk abutment.
