Investigation of Nonlinear Effects of Health Tourism on Iran's Economic Growth: Self-regression approach with distributive intervals
Authors: Haghighat Jafar , Masoomzadeh Sara
Published: September 2020

Background: Since oil is not a sustainable source of income for oil-rich countries, economic planners have focused on non-oil sources of income. In this regard, the tourism industry is one of the most lucrative industries in the world.Tourism includes services that have a great impact on economic and social activities. Health tourism is one of the most important areas of the tourism industry. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of health tourism shocks on economic growth in 2005-17 using the self-regression approach with distributive intervals.
Methods: In this applied analytical research, the required statistics and information in terms of logarithm were collected through documentary and library methods from 2005 to 2017.
Results: The experimental findings of the present study showed that the short term increase in the number of health tourists had a positive effect on the country's economic growth. The decreased number of health tourists also led to a decrease in the country's economic growth. The effective exchange rates and the number of medical services providers to tourists had negative and positive effects on the country's economic growth, respectively. In the long run, increased number of health tourists had a positive effect on economic growth, while a decrease in the number of health tourists had a negative effect on economic growth. The exchange rate and the number of health service providers to tourists had negative and positive effects on economic growth.
Conclusion: Both in the short- and long-term, entry of health tourists has a positive effect on the country's economic growth. So, authorities are recommended to invest in this area to provide better services to health tourists on the economic planners and policymakers' agenda.

Published: September 2020

Background: Given that hospitals are one of the pillars of the health system, reforming the health system is not possible without improving the performance of hospitals. Accreditation is a regular assessment of hospitals that emphasizes on continuous quality improvement and patient safety. This study aimed to identify the challenges of the new generation of hospital accreditation using the Three-Branch Model and proposing solutions to improve its effectiveness.
Method: This mixed exploratory research was conducted using a targeted sampling method of 20 semi-structured interviews along with a content analysis approach. As a result, an initial model was designed. Later, the initial model was modified using the Delphi technique, which was also approved by experts. In order to test the model, a researcher-made questionnaire was distributed among 384 hospital staff based on Morgan's table using stratified quota sampling method. Data were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis using Smart PlS 3 software.
Results: After analyzing and combining, the data were categorized under 31 basic codes, 5 concepts, and 3 main categories by Three-branch Model. The main codes included behavioral challenges, structural challenges, and contextual challenges.
Conclusion: According to the findings, the main challenge was related to the behavioral category followed by the structural category, which indiates that the current focus is on intra-organizational issues. Therefore, it can be said that the contextual challenges have received less attention.

Published: September 2020

A regeneração natural representa um estoque da floresta importante para a manutenção e renovação da composição florística. Nos planos de manejo o seu conhecimento se faz necessário para orientar práticas culturais. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho objetivou caracterizar a composição, o estoque e dinâmica de espécies de valor madeireiro ocorrentes na regeneração natural em área submetida ao manejo florestal na Floresta Nacional do Jamari, Rondônia. O estudo foi realizado em dez parcelas permanentes, distribuídas de forma aleatória em uma área de 3.532 ha submetida a exploração madeireira. Em cada parcela foram aleatorizadas 5 subunidades para o estudo da regeneração natural, a qual foi dividida em duas classes de tamanho, mudas e arvoretas. As espécies foram avaliadas quanto ao grupo ecológico, taxas de ingresso e mortalidade, incremento corrente anual médio em altura e diâmetro e estrutura fitossociológica. Foram observadas a presença de nove espécies de valor madeireiro, sendo as mais importantes Astronium lecointei e Brosimum rubencens na classe de mudas e, na classe de arvoretas, Beilschmiedia brasiliensis e Dinizia excelsa.  De forma geral, a regeneração sofre influência constante das taxas de mortalidade, ingresso, danos e crescimento, que afeta a sua composição e estrutura.                                                                          PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Espécies florestais, Sucessão ecológica, Unidades de conservação.

Published: September 2020

As Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP) são áreas encontradas ao longo de curso de água e são constituídas pela flora e fauna e pelos recursos hídricos. Além, disso desempenham importantes funções ecológicas e biológicas para a preservação dos recursos hídricos de uma região, como proteção contra erosão. Mesmo sendo comprovada a importância dessas áreas, elas não são poupadas das intervenções antrópicas. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a sobrevivência do açaizeiro cultivar BRS - Pará, em uma área experimental de Preservação Permanente-APP, da Fazenda Cristalina, em São Domingos do Araguaia-PA. Foram utilizadas quatro parcelas de açaizeiro, com dimensão de 24 m x12 m, as parcelas foram distribuídas casualmente ao longo do córrego, cada uma contendo 81 plantas e foram avaliadas as 20 plantas centrais. O estudo foi realizado durante 10 meses e as avaliações foram a cada 60 dias, sendo nos meses de janeiro a outubro de 2015. O parâmetro avaliado foi à sobrevivência e os dados coletados em campo foram organizados em planilhas do Microsoft Excel e no programa Sisvar. Em relação à taxa de sobrevivência houve diferença entre os meses avaliados, a menor sobrevivência foi no período de menor precipitação. Isso evidencia que as condições das subáreas e pluviosidade influenciaram as mudas de diferentes formas.                                                             PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Degradação, Ecossistema ripário, Recomposição vegetal.

Resultados: con una prevalencia del cáncer endometrial del 9%, el sistema de evaluación por histeroscopia mostró una sensibilidad de 75% (IC 95%: 30,1-95,43), especificidad de 95,1% (IC 95%: 83,9-98,7), una razón de probabilidades positiva de 15,38 (IC 95%: 3,55-66,56), una razón de probabilidades negativa de 0,26 y un área bajo la curva del 85%. Conclusión: el sistema de evaluación endometrial histeroscópico estandarizado mostró una sensibilidad aceptable para hacer la tamización en pacientes con sangrado posmenopáusico y engrosamiento endometrial (≥ 5 mm). Se requiere la realización de estudios con un mayor tamaño muestral que permitan hacer una estimación más precisa de las características operativas de este sistema de evaluación histeroscópico para la detección de cáncer endometrial.
E-commerce as a Consequence of Innovation and the Cause of New Innovations for SMEs: the Perspectives of Latvia and Lithuania
Authors: Rivza Baiba , Kruzmetra Maiga , Rivža Peteris , Miceikiene Astrida , Balezentis Alvydas , Jasaitis Jonas
Published: September 2020

The emergence of new technologies and the expansion of digitalisation have created an opportunity for e-commerce to develop. A supplier and a buyer of goods and services meet in the e-environment and solve their problem without direct contact, which is mutually beneficial. Accordingly, when it comes to globalisation, e-commerce, as a system, becomes an important topic of research in general, and, in particular, it is vital for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), since most enterprises in the European Union (EU) are SMEs. Latvia and Lithuania are EU Member States, and SMEs are dominant in these two Baltic States. The aim of the research is to identify and compare the opinions of producers/sellers and buyers on the positive contribution of e-commerce to date and the problems caused by e-commerce for both sides. The research employed data from Eurostat, OECD and the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia as well as the authors’ own data from a survey (e-commerce users: suppliers (n=112) and buyers (n=138) of goods and services) conducted in Latvia and Lithuania. An analysis of the statistical data reveals the current objective position of e-commerce in both countries. The proportion of small and medium enterprises involved in this process is increasing. At the same time, the processing of the results of the e-commerce survey enables the authors to see a subjective view of this process, which includes both positive and negative features of both the buyers and the sellers. Identifying problems and comparing the situations in the two neighbouring countries opens the way to find e-commerce development directions and reduce the problems not only economically but also geographically and ethnically, as the objective data on e-commerce are not identical for Latvia and Lithuania, even though the data are positive and only slightly different.
Labour Market Institutions and Income Inequalities in the Visegrad Group Countries
Authors: Szczepaniak Małgorzata , Szulc-Obłoza Agnieszka
Published: September 2020

The diversity of the labour market in the Visegrad Group countries is presented in the article from an institutional perspective. Institutions such as different tax and transfer policies, employment protection legislation, or active and passive labour market policies can affect not only the effectiveness of the economy from a macro perspective, but they can also be crucial in determining the system of rules and incentives for earning money. The institutional conditions of the labour market directly affect the behaviour of labour market participants, their incomes, and therefore income inequalities. To asses and compare the situation between the Visegrad group countries, a synthetic measure of labour market institutions is calculated. A taxonomic analysis is done to group the V4 countries against other selected European Union countries, which enables the assessment and comparison of similarities and differences across the Visegrad countries. Finally, the trade-offs between a synthetic measure of labour market institutions and income inequalities are analysed. The Pearson correlation coefficient and, additionally, the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient are applied. The analysis is done for 2016, as it was the most recent data available while writing the article. The results from such an analysis can help to answer the question of the state’s role in limiting income inequalities through labour market institutions and to identify the policies which are the most effective in this field.
Adaptación y validación del Organizational Description Questionnaire. Un estudio con población civil y militar
Authors: Nader Martín , Lupano Perugini María Laura , Castro Solano Alejandro
Published: September 2020

Se presentan datos correspondientes a un estudio realizado con población civil (n = 1003) y militar (n = 488) que tuvo como objetivo principal determinar las características psicométricas (fiabilidad y validez) del Organizational Description Questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 1992). Con respecto a la fiabilidad, los resultados muestran buenos niveles de consistencia interna para ambas dimensiones aunque son algo bajos para la dimensión cultura transaccional para ambas poblaciones. Con respecto a la validez, se encontraron evidencias que permiten afirmar que la prueba es válida. El análisis factorial mostró que los ítems se agrupan en dos factores los cuales responden a la propuesta teórica hecha por los autores de la prueba. Por último, se encontraron diferencias en la percepción de la cultura organizacional que tienen líderes y seguidores de ambos contextos.
Cuantificadores como evidencia del lenguaje de la incertidumbre: un abordaje psicolingüístico
Authors: Bazán Guzmán Jorge Luis , Aparicio Pereda Ana Sofía
Published: September 2020

Se presenta una aproximación teórica para estudiar los cuantificadores como evidencia del lenguaje de incertidumbre. Se consideran los siguientes temas: lenguaje e incertidumbre, razonamiento probabilístico, aprendizaje y evaluación de los cuantificadores, y estudio de los cuantificadores como estudio del significado y la comprensión de palabras, los cuales constituyen la psicolingüística de los cuantificadores. Nosotros argumentamos que los cuantificadores, como palabras, forman parte del lenguaje de incertidumbre que es parte del razonamiento probabilístico, pero el mecanismo de su aprendizaje es desconocido. También consideramos que es importante situar el estudio de los cuantificadores dentro del estudio del significado como evidencia de procesos psicológicos internos. Investigaciones futuras ayudarán a una mayor comprensión del uso de los cuantificadores.

Published: September 2020

Se investiga la validación de constructo de seis dimensiones que están en la base del examende egreso de una licenciatura en contabilidad, con el fin de entender el proceso de respuesta subyacente. A partir de las respuestas a 17 ítems objetivos aplicados de manera grupal a 313 participantes seleccionados según muestreo intencional, se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio MRMM, en el que se representaron tres operaciones cognitivas demandadas para resolver los ítems y los métodos, así como los tres campos de conocimiento del contenido que se evalúa en ellos. El modelo resultante muestra bondad de ajuste, validez convergente entre dos constructos y sus variables manifiestas, además de validez divergente solo entre el conocimiento técnico y el combinado. El proceso de respuesta fue explicado, simultáneamente, por la operación comprender, influida por el conocimiento teórico. Se discuten las implicancias para comprender el proceso de respuesta en este tipo de examen a partir de la validación de constructo realizada.

Dos madres adolescentes, dos vínculos: ¿qué marca la diferencia?
Authors: Traverso Koroleff Pierina
Published: September 2020

Se presenta un estudio de caso de dos madres adolescentes de la misma edad (17 años), con el cual se intenta explorar las representaciones maternas y las interacciones madre-bebe, es decir, las distintas maneras de “estar con” el bebe. El estudio pretende discutir que la maternidad adolescente en sí misma no es un factor de riesgo, sino que otras variables moderadoras como la calidad de las redes de sostenimiento y la función reflexiva con que cada joven madre cuenta. Las representaciones maternas fueron evaluadas a través de una entrevista semi-estructurada sobre representaciones maternas (Traverso, 2006) y las interacciones madre-bebe fueron medidas y filmadas a través del Mother-Infant Global-Ratings para dos y cuatro meses (Murray, Fiori-Cowley & Cooper, 1996).

El 66% tenía personal a cargo y el 34% eran subordinados. Se utilizó una encuesta diseñada ad-hoc donde se solicitaba identificar dos líderes efectivos (un hombre y una mujer) y justificar la elección. Los sujetos identificaron mayormente como líderes varones a militares, tanto de población general como específicos por sus haza-ñas militares. Se observó variabilidad en el resto de categorías. Con relación a líderes mujeres se identificaron líderes religiosas, militares de población general y políticas. Además se hallaron diferencias en las características asignadas a ambos prototipos. Palabras clave: prototipos, liderazgo, género, militar.
Perspectiva temporal futura en adolescentes institucionalizados
Authors: Carcelén Velarde María Claudia , Martínez Patricia
Published: September 2020

Se describen las metas a futuro y preocupaciones que los adolescentes institucionalizados poseen y se identifican las actitudes temporales que presentan hacia el pasado, presente y futuro, comparándolas con un grupo de adolescentes no institucionalizados de similares características. Es un estudio descriptivo con diseño transversal en el que participaron 34 adolescentes institucionalizados y 41 no institucionalizados de 15 a 17 años. Los instrumentos fueron el Método de Inducción Motivacional (MIM) y la Escala de Actitudes Temporales (TAS) (Nuttin, 1985). Se encontró que las metas se orientan principalmente hacia los contactos interpersonales, el deseo de autorrealización y el sí mismo. No obstante, los adolescentes institucionalizados muestran una mayor cantidad de metas relativas al desarrollo de aptitudes y una mayor necesidad de establecer contactos interpersonales, ligada, a su vez, a temores en torno al daño que se puede generar al entablar dichas relaciones.

Published: September 2020

Las habilidades sociales son parte esencial de la actividad humana. Estas inciden en la autoestima, la adopción de roles, la autorregulación del comportamiento y el rendimiento académico, entre otros aspectos. Este trabajo presenta el proceso de construcción y valida­ción de una Escala de Habilidades Sociales para niños preescolares. Se aplicó la escala a 318 padres de niños de 3 a 5 años de NSE bajo asistentes a Centros de Atención Primaria de Salud en San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. Se diseñó un protocolo distinto para cada grupo de edad, considerando las características evolutivas y contextuales vinculadas al pro­ceso de adquisición de habilidades sociales. El resultado fue una escala con características psicométricas de validez y confiabilidad. La validación de estos instrumentos es de gran utilidad para la evaluación de niños en contextos empobrecidos pues permiten discriminar recursos sociales que facilitan su adaptación. Palabras clave: habilidades sociales, escala, pobreza, niños.

Representaciones infantiles de la enfermedad: variaciones según edad, grado de instrucción y nivel socioeconómico
Authors: Ruda Santolaria María Lourdes
Published: September 2020

Se exploran las representaciones infantiles sobre la identidad y origen de la enfermedad según edad, grado de instrucción y nivel socioeconómico. Se evaluó a 90 niños con la Entre­vista sobre Representaciones Infantiles Acerca de la Enfermedad (E-RIE), inspirada en siete láminas que grafican el tratamiento característico de un niño con cáncer. Los resultados muestran que un mismo elemento de realidad puede ser conceptualizado de maneras diver­sas, y que los más pequeños tienden a apelar a enfermedades de baja gravedad, mientras los mayores aluden mayoritariamente a enfermedades graves. La manera de representarse la enfermedad guarda consistencia con lo descrito por la literatura en términos de secuencia de desarrollo, aunque se observan variaciones en cuanto al momento del logro o la renuncia al uso de categorías de etapas previas. En el nivel socioeconómico bajo se evidencia retraso en el acceso a algunos conceptos, que parecen subsanarse posteriormente.

Authors: Ramalho Francisco Rodolfo Xavier , Rigo Ariádne Scalfoni
Published: September 2020

O trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as aproximações e distanciamentos existentes entre a partilha e o que é praticado pelos usuários de organizações da economia do compartilhamento. Foram estudadas práticas da partilha em duas organizações: Airbnb e Servas. A teoria da dádiva de Mauss foi utilizada como lente de análise. Foram realizadas entrevistas com usuários/membros de ambas organizações e empreendeu-se a análise do conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que, enquanto no Servas, pode-se observar grande semelhança entre a partilha a partir da dádiva e as práticas encontradas no mesmo, no Airbnb o que se observa é certo distanciamento. Sugere-se a utilização de termos e expressões que melhor representem as práticas das organizações inseridas na economia do compartilhamento.
Linguistic aspects of UK written judicial discourse: formal and substantive approach justification
Authors: Arinova Bayrta N.
Published: September 2020

The aim of the work is to present a comprehensive approach to the study of linguistic features of the UK written judicial discourse, describe its features in terms of professional communication and social practice. We give a consistent analysis of the major factors which scaffold judicial discourse as a whole – the formal structure of the legal discourse and the formal content (textual sources) of judicial discourse. We believe the legal sources (texts of previous decisions and texts of legislative acts) contribute to the multi-faceted nature of the judicial legal discourse in which we can observe various processes: legal interpretation, recontextualization of ordinary facts in the professional legal field, statutory treatment and nominalization of facts and deeds etc. These and other characteristics created the dynamic nature of judicial discourse which is commonly seen as a static relic. Proper analysis and understanding of the formal structure of the legal discourse and its formal content (textual sources) bears major importance when addressing the analysis of linguistic features of written judicial discourse. Based on the analysis, the main characteristics of the written judicial discourse of Anglo-Saxon system are identified and the framework for further study of its linguistic features is determined. From our point of view, the study of the phenomenon of professional discourse is interdisciplinary in nature, in particular, the study of written judicial discourse is based on the positions of sociologists, linguists, philosophers and legal scholars. We use description and synthesis methods, as well as comparative and contextual methods. The theo-retical significance of the study lies in the development of the comprehensive approach to the lin-guistic analysis of professional discourses as a means of actualizing a certain social practice.
To the results of the discussion about the folklore identity of the Kalmyk tale from “The Captain’s Daughter” by A.S. Pushkin
Authors: Burykin Aleksey A.
Published: September 2020

The subject of the work is the Kalmyk fairy tale about the eagle and the raven, which is present in the story of A.S. Pushkin “The Captain’s Daughter” (1836). One group of scientists believes that this fairy tale-parable was composed by A.S. Pushkin himself. We represent those researchers who recognize this fairy tale as an independent work of A.S. Pushkin during a trip to the Orenburg region. Despite the fact that this tale is absent in the manuscripts of A.S. Pushkin and is not identified in the folklore of Russian Kalmyks, there are serious reasons to recognize it as an original work of Kalmyk folklore. This is convinced by the structure of the tale’s plot, which is becoming a series of tales about the relationship of animals, the recording of a similar tale among the Evens – the people of the Tungusic group, the existence of the same tale among the Xinjiang Kalmyks, the availability of information about the Kalmyk woman who told this tale to A.S. Pushkin, the widespread opposition of the eagle and the raven in the folklore of the peoples of the world, the presence of such semantic structures in the indexes of fairy tales and motives of S. Thompson. By the nature of the semantic elements composition and the plot structure, we can judge that neither A.S. Pushkin, nor anyone else could have composed such a fairy tale.
Childhood time and literary space in the Gennadiy Aygi’s poetry
Authors: Kudryakova Tatiana V.
Published: September 2020

Certain features of spatial images representation in the Gennadiy Aygi’s poetry which are often related to the time and images of childhood are highlighted. The natural topoi of the forest, field, etc., including the place of an individual plant, the child’s body as a place and the mortal places are analyzed. It is concluded that childhood images are able to set a positive interpretation vector of the natural space or create a semantic contrast in the context of anthropogenic mortal spaces. The plant topoi endowed with the traits of childishness and the child’s body topoi are considered from the position of the general cultural “divine child” archetype. At the same time, according to our opinion, plant images can be correlated with national and mythological images of the poet’s native culture, and hyperbolization of the child’s body, which is presented as a limitless, comprehensive space, is an individually poetic realization of the grotesque body’s image.
Life after sports: legal aspects of social guarantees of ex-athletes
Authors: Shuvarin Aleksey , Kharin Vadim
Published: September 2020

Sport is a very important component of our life. Many people play sports as a hobby, on an amateur level. However, for some people, sport is a part of their life, and they are engaged in sports activities at a professional level. The work shows the positive and negative sides of sports as a profession. In particular, after leaving the “high-performance sport”, outstanding and famous athletes become coaches, businessmen, political, public figures, etc. However, a completely different plot of life awaits people who receive injuries that are incompatible with further engaging in professional sports at the height of their career. If they do not achieve permanent excellent results, and do not reach the “Olympus of glory”, they become useless to anyone. To alleviate these consequences of athletes who are forced to end their professional careers due to injury, European countries have certain social support programs that help athletes cope with crises. At the same time, evaluating our legislation, we can note that at the moment in the Russian Federation there is no well-established system of social support programs for professional athletes who are forced to leave the “high-performance sport”.

We consider procedural and legal problems of ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of the rehabilitated person in criminal proceedings. The purpose of the work is to study the problems of industry affiliation of the rehabilitation institute, the grounds for rehabilitation, and analyze the phi-losophical and ethical categories that make up the legal basis of the rehabili-tation institution. We analyze the legislative regulation of the rehabilitation institution and identify contradictions in the current legislation in the studied sphere of legal relations, as well as focus on the possibility of violating the rights and legitimate interests of rehabilitated person stipulated by law. The methodological basis of the study consists in the use of traditional general logical and special legal methods – logical, formal and legal, analysis and generalization of law enforcement practice. We propose the author’s concept about the nature and legal nature of the rehabilitation institution as an inter-disciplinary institution, which consists in the fact that rehabilitation consists in the idea of complete innocence. A literal (adequate) interpretation of the concept of rehabilitation in this case means the presence of three key ele-ments: 1) the criminal prosecution of a person was unfair (illegal, un-founded); 2) the application of measures of criminal procedural coercion and (or) criminal punishment to him was illegal (unreasonable); 3) there were no grounds for prosecuting him, or there were grounds for excluding him. The study allows us to conclude that the rehabilitation institution of innocent needs further improvement, based on its thorough legal regulation, since, be-ing an interdisciplinary institution, it can ensure the observance and respect of the rights and freedoms of individuals and citizen only if the contradictions in the current legislation are eliminated.
A erotização do imaginário do pop-rock brasileiro nas canções de Rita Lee
Authors: Anaz Sílvio Antonio Luiz
Published: September 2020

Este artigo analisa o processo de construção de um imaginário de amor romântico erotizado na canção popular a partir de alguns dos principais sucessos compostos por Rita Lee. Para compreender o processo de criação desse imaginário, a investigação parte dos diálogos que a artista estabeleceu com a cultura, nos anos de sua formação e na época de composição das obras aqui analisadas, e avança até a semiose de suas letras e músicas. A análise do processo de formação de imaginários fundamenta-se no conceito de imaginário, desenvolvido por Gilbet Durand, na ideia de neotribalização, elaborada por Michel Maffesoli, e na análise textual de Roland Barthes. A conclusão mostra o arquétipo da protagonista feminina com pretensões libertárias e altamente sexualizada como elemento central do percurso entre a rede de diálogos estabelecidos pela artista com a cultura e os elementos simbólicos presentes no imaginário das suas canções.
O rock brasileiro pós-tropicalismo e a crítica musical em Rolling Stone
Authors: Scherner Cassiano
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo faz uma análise sobre o rock brasileiro e a crítica musical no jornal Rolling Stone, que circulou no Brasil, de 1972 a 1973. Esta publicação foi pioneira em divulgar questões ligadas à contracultura e ao rock, tanto o produzido por aqui, quanto o estrangeiro. Apesar da sua breve existência, mapeou a produção musical dita “roqueira” daquele período, e a crítica musical foi o esteio principal desse processo. O rock brasileiro vivia uma fase de esvaziamento, tendo poucos grupos e artistas dedicados ao gênero, sendo um contraponto ao contexto atual do mercado musical, em que o excesso massificador dos grupos dedicados ao rock se faz presente.

Trends and challenges for the policy of manager training: an interdisciplinary analysis of intercultural education in the rural area
Authors: Bernieri Celenita Gualberto Pereira , Machado Solange Aparecida
Published: September 2020

The research presents thoughts on certain trends in the training of educational managers and the needs for innovation to seek to fill the gaps related to basic education. These have been demanded under the panorama of the characteristic reality of rural education: the construction of demands in the fundamental education policy and its perspectives for transformations in the management itself. With the theoretical methodological mention of a bibliographic and documentary research, we sought historical and philosophical foundations for the integration of the categories worked and the empirical focus established in state schools in the Regional of Dianópolis, to delimit the field of the same, which according to the approach, the alternatives have been to seek to carry out self-training actions, simultaneously with the organization of practices in educational institutions. What has made possible a partial exercise of the curricular instrument, when contemplating an education that thinks with cultural diversities and ethnic-racial relations, seeking through experiences and dialogues, to appreciate and adopt community knowledge with the valorization of subjectivity in the ways of each community, showing them in the school routine. The contradiction between the legislation and the educational marginalization, shows the insufficiency in the applicability of education in the field, however, it is important to highlight the urgency in the reformulation of the policy of continuing education for managers, it is proposed to transdisciplinary.

All countries are facing decisions about which groups to prioritise for COVID-19 vaccination after the first vaccine product has been licensed, at which time supply shortages are inevitable. Here we define the key target populations and their size in China for a phased introduction of COVID-19 vaccination with evolving goals, accounting for the risk of illness and transmission. Essential workers (47.2 million) like healthcare workers could be prioritized for vaccination to maintain essential services. Subsequently, older adults, individuals with underlying health conditions and pregnant women (616.0 million) could be targeted to reduce severe COVID-19 outcomes. Then it could be further extended to target adults without underlying health conditions and children (738.7 million) to reduce symptomatic infections and/or to stop virus transmission. The proposed framework could assist Chinese policy-makers in the design of a vaccination program, and could be generalized to inform other national and regional COVID-19 vaccination strategies.
Nano- versus Micro-sized TiO2: Comparative Photoelectrochemical and Photocatalytic Studies towards Organic Pollutants Oxidation in Gas Phase

The size of TiO2 (either nanometric or micrometric) can significantly affect both its photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties, thus altering the photooxidation of organic pollutants in air or water. The purpose of this work is to give an account of the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic features of some nano- and micro-sized TiO2 commercial powders towards a model reaction, the photooxidation of acetone. Cyclic voltammograms (CV) of TiO2 particulated electrodes under UV illumination experiments were carried out in either saturated O2 or N2 solutions for a direct correlation with the photocatalytic process. In addition, the effect of different reaction conditions on the photocatalytic efficiency under UV light in both aqueous and gaseous phases was also investigated. CV curves with the addition of acetone under UV light showed a negative shift of the photocurrent onset, confirming the efficient transfer of photoproduced reactive oxygen species (ROSs), e.g., hydroxyl radicals, or holes to acetone molecules. The photocatalytic experiments showed that the two nano-sized samples exhibit the best photocatalytic performance. The different photoactivity of the micro-sized samples is probably attributed to their morphological differences, affecting both the amount and distribution of free ROSs involved in the photooxidation reaction.
Theoretical Value of Hubble’s constant is a Salient Feature of Experimental Results- New Insight in to Origin of Universe
Authors: Kodukula Siva Prasad
Published: September 2020

Specifically this work is based on the concept of ‘dark energy’ as a phenomenal effect of expansion through which a theoretical value of Hubble’s constant has been introduced. It is a constant that is based on a postulate that the square root of ratio of the Siva’s constant ‘K’ and Hubble’s constant ‘H’ is exactly equal to the diameter of the neutral hydrogen atom. That is the, exact theoretical value of Hubble’s constant. This is always constant .However, space-time conversions and the changes in the velocity of light will affect the distance and velocity in Hubble’s equation. Deviation factors in velocity, distance and the Hubble’s constant have been calculated separately which are affected by change of velocity of light with expansion of space time. The observations are related to red shift. So the change factor in terms of Hubble’s constant has been calculated with respect to red shift. Thus a factor which affects the theoretical Hubble’s constant has been calculated to find the exact value of Hubble’s constant that satisfies the experimental results. The present theoretical value of Hubble’s constant has been calculated. The experimental results by plank, ACT (Atacama Cosmology Telescope), WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) etc. experiments are at par with the theoretical result. Thus the ontology of space time introduced in this theoretical work supposed to be correct and leads to a new theory of origin of universe for which a brief description has been provided.

Published: September 2020

Soybean maturity is a trait of critical importance for the development of new soybean cultivars, nevertheless, its characterization based on visual ratings has many challenges. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) imagery-based high-throughput phenotyping methodologies have been proposed as an alternative to the traditional visual ratings of pod senescence. However, the lack of scalable and accurate methods to extract the desired information from the images remains a significant bottleneck in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to develop an image-based high-throughput phenotyping system for evaluating soybean maturity in breeding programs. Images were acquired twice a week, starting when the earlier lines began maturation until the latest ones were mature. Two complementary convolutional neural networks (CNN) were developed to predict the maturity date. The first using a single date and the second using the five best image dates identified by the first model. The proposed CNN architecture was validated using more than 15,000 ground truth observations from five trials, including data from three growing seasons and two countries. The trained model showed good generalization capability with a root mean squared error lower than two days in four out of five trials. Four methods of estimating prediction uncertainty showed potential at identifying different sources of errors in the maturity date predictions. The architecture used solves limitations of previous research and can be used at scale in commercial breeding programs.
