Published: June 2018

The
effect of Mo substituting and W doping on (BiPb)2WxSr2Ca3Cu4-yMoyO12+& system where x=0, y= 0;
x = 0.1, y= 0.0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09 and 0.12 have been investigated. The
superconducting samples prepared by using conventional solid state reaction
method. The calcination and sintering temperatures were obtained by using
differential thermal analysis technique (TGA). In order to investigate crystal
structure properties and determine the phase determination, X-ray powder
diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed. The XRD data showed that the
Bi-(2223) phase transforms into the Bi-(2212) phase with increasing Mo
substituting for Cu. The morphology properties of the samples determined with
the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. The effects of Mo and W
substituted on BSCCO system; we have also performed electrical resistivity
(R-T) in order to get critical temperatures. From electrical resistivity
critical temperature and transition temperature width were both increased with
the increasing of Mo content. The alternative current susceptibility
measurement (AC) was performed to obtain critical transition temperature and
study magnetic properties of the samples.

O balanço hídrico climatológico monitora o armazenamento de água no solo a partir da contabilização da precipitação, da demanda atmosférica, da evapotranspiração potencial e considerando um armazenamento máximo apropriado para a planta que se deseja cultivar. É uma importante ferramenta de gestão dos recursos hídricos, indispensável para o desenvolvimento de projetos de irrigação, por fornecer informações relativas a frequência e do volume das chuvas bem como as épocas e os períodos de déficit que devem ser repostos pelas chuvas e, ou, irrigação garantindo a potencialidade produtiva de uma espécie. Entre os sistemas de irrigação, os pivôs centrais vêm ganhando destaque com uma expansão média anual de 104 mil hectares. Entretanto, a irrigação realizada por proprietários rurais tem sido feita de modo especulativo, com projetos de irrigação mal dimensionados e sem a anuência de qualquer profissional da área. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer os meses mais críticos para a agricultura irrigação, na região Noroeste de São Paulo, a partir do estudo do balanço hídrico. A análise indicou os meses de agosto, setembro e outubro como os mais críticos, por apresentar déficits hídricos de 114; 49 e 81 mm, respectivamente, ao mesmo tempo em que se elevam os valores da evapotranspiração.

Published: June 2018

Sarcomas of the testis are extremely rare tumors, their incidence being difficult to assess accurately. The authors report a case of a 21-year-old male, presented with painless scrotal swelling that increased in size insidiously within three months. The examination revealed a 10 cm right testicular swelling—hard, not tender and oval in shape. Testicular ultrasound revealed right heterogenous testicular mass. Tumor markers (Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and alpha fetoprotein) were normal. CT chest and abdomen were normal. Radical orchidectomy was done through an inguinal approach. Histopathology showed testicular fibrosarcoma with spindle cells. After one month, the patient noticed reappearance of a swelling in the right hemiscrotum. Right inguinal exploration with massive resection of the recurrent scrotal mass was done. Histopathology revealed inflammatory process dominated by stitch granuloma. In conclusion, the recurrence rate of testicular sarcomas is high following radical orchidectomy, but still there was a place of non-malignant massthat looks like recurrence; it might occur like nonspecific inflammatory mass and stich granuloma.

Authors: Hassan Mohammad Mujaheed , Abdullah Aldrin
Published: June 2018

The concept of community oriented policing has emerged in Malaysia since 2007 as an increasingly important strategy for controlling and preventing crime, as well as for enhancing community safety. The concept has been endorsed in three phases. The first phase only involves Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang, and Johor Police Contingents, while the second phase involves every police contingent at the state level in Malaysia, and lastly, followed by the third phase that involves every police contingent in every regional in every state in Malaysia. The Community Oriented Policing Strategy (COPS) is a partnership between the local residents and the police in charge of the district. COP is a belief that by working together the police and the community can accomplish what neither can accomplish alone. Thus, the spirit of community empowerment, smart ship, and interdependency between all stakeholders, including community, police, NGOs, and other interested parties are very much needed in this country through active and inactive. The purposes of this paper are; (a) to determine the importance of COP, (b) to evaluate the community awareness towards COP implementation in Malaysia.

Democracia participativa versus democracia territorial: participación, autonomía y desarrollo municipal
Authors: Betancourt Cardona Guillermo
Published: June 2018

Los territorios, y en particular el municipio como célula básica de la división político-administrativa de Colombia, se presentan en la Constitución de 1991 como el escenario primordial de la administración local y donde, constitucionalmente, se prevé y pretende que florezca la participación ciudadana en las decisiones locales que conciernen a su desarrollo. No obstante, su autonomía, junto con los diversos instrumentos previstos en la ley y otros desarrollos paralegales, no ha redundado en una participación eficaz de los ciudadanos. La presente investigación se centra en las causas de la escasa participación en busca de una transformación que reviva y dé un valor práctico a las disposiciones que gobiernan la participación en el marco de la autonomía territorial y el desarrollo de los entes territoriales.
La tramitación autónoma del procedimiento tributario sancionador en México en el contexto del respeto al derecho humano a la seguridad jurídica
Authors: Díaz Reyes Alejandro , Aguado Romero Gabriela
Published: June 2018

Los deberes tributarios constituyen una auténtica necesidad pública que impone al Estado la adopción de una serie de procedimientos administrativos para realizar las actividades de fiscalización y sanción de su cumplimiento. Con el fin de asegurar el respeto del principio de seguridad jurídica y toda vez que los fines, las consecuencias jurídicas y los principios rectores de cada uno de estos procedimientos son diferentes, la presente investigación encuentra que estos deben adelantarse y resolverse de forma separada. Se argumenta por la separación del procedimiento administrativo sancionador en materia tributaria de otros procedimientos, como la visita domiciliaria, dentro del cual se encuentra inmerso, con el fin de proteger el derecho humano a la seguridad jurídica.

Measuring Spatiality in Infrastructure and Development of High School Education in Hooghly District of West Bengal, India
Authors: Ghosh Shovan , Guchhait Sanat Kumar , Sengupta Susmita
Published: June 2018

An increasing access and enrolment do not necessarily ensure school effectiveness or educational progress. They are, of course, other parameters of development of education, rather than being measures of standards of quality education. The present paper opts to scrutinize whether infrastructural development in schools at all ensures good educational development or not. To accomplish this, Education Infrastructural Index has been prepared through Access, Facility and Teacher Index whereas a combination of Enrollment Index and Literacy Index gave rise Educational Development Index. The study reveals that accessibility factor begets a division within rural spaces in the form of backward rural, rural and prosperous rural that manifests through the availability of the teachers and facilities. In the urban areas, wherein accessibility is not a matter of concern, facilities and teachers matter in making difference between the less developed and developed urban areas. The higher Educational Development Index at the non-rural areas indicates town- centric nature of the development of our educational system. Superimposition of the infrastructural and developmental parameters revealed that good infrastructure does not always ensure good educational achievement. In the light of these backdrops, the key purpose of this article is to measuring spatiality in infrastructure and development of high school education in Hooghly District of West Bengal, India.

Published: June 2018

Today, effective quality management is a factor in organizing the institution ensuring its market success in a competitive information and library market. New approaches appeared to increase the organization effectiveness. The introduction of a Balanced Scorecard (BS) is an approach that based on a causal relationship between strategic objectives reflecting their parameters and the factors for obtaining the planned results. The BS provides a new approach to the strategic management of institutions of any size, different spheres of ownership and activities. Analysis of BS implementation in an organization with an existing quality management system (QMS) allows asserting them should be used as complementary approaches. Based on the results of this study, the specialists of the Republican Medical Library and Information Center (RMLIC) of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan carried out preparatory work to implement their own system. We started with customer demands satisfaction by products and services, monitoring and measuring this satisfaction. The main argument for making this decision is that the information obtained after monitoring and measuring customer satisfaction will serve as the basis to determine the strategic reference points (mission, values, vision) of the library and information center. Satisfaction indirect indicators have been taken into account; a method of brainstorming is used to systematize the judgments on the quality of provided products and services: library, bibliographic, information services and information-library products to health professionals (selective dissemination of information, differentiated servicing of managers), information and legal services. The results obtained and the conclusions drawn will be used to improve the quality management system of RMLIC and the activities of the Center as a whole. They should be applied in other libraries implementing a quality management system

Hard Coating is Because of Oppositely Worked Force-Energy Behaviors of Atoms
Authors: Ali Mubarak , Hamzah Esah , Radzi Mohd Toff Mohd
Published: June 2018

Coatings of reliable materials of thickness in few atoms to several microns on a viable substrate is the basic need of society which attend regular attention of scientific community working in various fields. Decorative and protective coatings, transparent and insulating coatings, coatings of medical implants and surgical instruments, coatings for drug delivery and security purposes, ultra-precision machine coatings and coatings of other miscellaneous uses are in routine demand for research and commercial purposes. Different hard coatings develop with significant composition of different nature atoms where their force-energy behaviors when recovering certain transition states provide provision for electron of outer ring belonging to gas atom to react for another clamp of energy knot clamping unfilled state of outer ring belonging to solid atom. Set suitable process conditions regulate switching force-energy behaviors of different nature atoms, which are nearly opposite to the ones originally existing in them. Thus, different nature transition state atoms locate points of developing hard coating between their original ground points as the gaseous nature atoms increase their potential energy as per increasing the gravitational force exerting at electron level while the solid atoms decrease their potential energy as per decreasing the gravitational force exerting at electron level. Ti-atom to Ti-atom binding is taken place under the difference of expansion level of lattice in the just land atom and landed atom where the position of nitrogen atoms becomes nearly at their interstitial site. Thus, different nature transition state atoms accommodate to be deposited at substrate surface positioned in the deposition chamber under suitable set parameters. In random arc-based vapor deposition system, depositing different nature atoms at substrate surface depends on the supplied energy where non-conserved forces are remained engage to keep adherence. On undertaking electron (of gas atom), another clamp of energy knot (of solid atom) is being endorsed by the mutually adjusting expansion-contraction of lattices belonging to two different nature atoms developing structure in the form of hard coating, which is known since antiquity. Different properties and characteristics of hard coatings emerged as per engaged forces under the set conditions of involved energy. The present study sets new trends not only in the field of films and coatings but also in the diversified class of materials, wherever, atoms recall their roles.

Published: June 2018

This paper is the result of a research carried out with 13 graduates of a Mathematics Degree course of a Federal Teaching Institution that did not choose teaching as a profession when graduation. Its purpose is to understand the beliefs and disbeliefs in relation to the Education of these graduates and also to know some of the (dis) motivations that led them to give up teaching as soon as they finished their degree. Of qualitative nature, the type of research was characterized as Case Study and the analyzes occurred through the Discursive Textual Analysis, giving rise to six categories: internal school processes; To overcome the traditional method of teaching; The relationships between the school and the family; The relationship between school and society; The devaluation of the state; And the hope of transformation through Education. The analyzes of the emerging categories of the answers allow to realize that the disbeliefs surpass the beliefs, which suggests to be one of the factors that collaborate for the abandonment of the teaching career soon after the conclusion of the degree. However, despite the exposed disbeliefs, the Egresses still show hope that Education is a source of social transformation.

MODERADOS Y MODERNOS: UN ANÁLISIS DE LA RELACIÓN EDUCACIÓN DEL CUERPO-HIGIENE A PARTIR DE LOS FILMS FIXES DEL CEDRHE
Authors: Ruggiano Gianfranco
Published: June 2018

Este trabajo propone un análisis al respecto de los procesos de educación del cuerpo, específicamente en su vínculo con el desarrollo de la higiene escolar como ámbito de intervenciones educativas. Para ello fueron seleccionados unos documentos relativamente poco trabajados: los films fixes, en particular los films fixes contenidos en el Centre d’Etudes, de Documentation et de Recherches en Histoire de l’Education (CEDRHE), de la Facultad de Educación, en la Universidad de Montpellier. Resulta muy importante detenernos en el análisis de algunas particularidades que estas fuentes presentan; a partir de allí será posible proponer algunos elementos que contribuyan a la reflexión de cómo se produjeron algunas innovaciones tecnológicas en el ámbito educativo, en este caso, para el escenario educativo francés de mediados del siglo XX. Nociones centrales sobre cómo organizar la educación del cuerpo, sobre los cuidados del cuerpo y la higiene, y más en general sobre la vida, se mezclan con intereses económicos muy particulares, de actores que a priori podríamos entender como “ajenos” a las preocupaciones educativas.
Swirski Mite Controlled-release Sachets as a Pest Management Tool in Container Tree Production
Authors: Addesso Karla M. , Witcher Anthony L. , Fare Donna C.
Published: June 2018

Adoption of biological control tools in woody ornamental nursery production has lagged behind other agriculture fields. One of the major obstacles to adoption is lack of information on the efficacy of various biological control agents in nursery production systems. The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii, sold commercially as “swirski mite,” is a generalist predatory mite that has recently been adopted as a generalist control for a wide range of mite and insect pests, including thrips (Thripidae), whiteflies (Aleyrodidae), eriophyid mites (Eriophyidae), broad mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus), and spider mites (Tetranychidae). A controlled-release sachet formulation of swirski mite was evaluated in three experiments to determine whether size of the tree, timing of first application, or sun intensity would affect treatment efficacy. Pest numbers on plants was evaluated biweekly for 12 weeks. The swirski mite sachets controlled broad mite and spider mite outbreaks on red maple trees (Acer rubrum) grown in nos. 3 and 15 nursery containers, respectively. Application at the time of red maple rooted cutting transplant was not necessary to achieve summer-long control of pests. No outbreaks of target pests on flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) in no. 5 containers grown under both full sun and shade, but with low levels of broad mite persisting in the shade treatment and thrips persisting in sun. These results suggest that swirski mite is a promising candidate for biological control in woody ornamental nursery production.
Swine Lagoon Compost as Transplant Substrate for Basil, Chives, and Dill
Authors: Herring Paige L. , Noah Abbey C. , Kraus Helen T.
Published: June 2018

Sphagnum peat is a finite resource that is often used in the horticultural industry as a component in many substrates, especially for greenhouse production of transplants. Because peatlands are being depleted by vast amounts of mining, the horticultural industry is exploring alternative resources to use in substrates. Swine lagoon sludge (SLS) is an attractive option as it may provide nutrients needed to support plant growth, as well as using an agricultural waste product to address the peat shortage. A compost was developed using an in-vessel compost reactor to compost SLS with peanut hulls [15:85 (by volume) SLS:peanut hull] to produce a swine lagoon compost (SLC). A greenhouse transplant study was conducted with three species: basil (Ocimum basilicum ‘Dark Opal’), chives (Allium schoenoprasum), and dill (Anethum graveolens ‘Hera’) grown in three substrates: SLC, a commercially available organic potting substrate with a nutrient charge (OM), and a commercial peat-based potting substrate with a 2-week nutrient charge (PEAT). The average height for basil, chives, and dill was significantly greater at transplant harvest when produced in the SLC substrate compared with the OM and PEAT. Airspace was greatest for SLC and lowest for OM and PEAT. Although root growth was not measured in this study, more prolific root growth throughout the plug was observed with SLC compared with OM and PEAT possibly because of the greater airspace in SLC. Substrate solution pH did not change substantially over time, whereas electrical conductivity (EC) decreased from 0.24 to 0.14 mS·cm−1. Both substrate pH and EC were within acceptable ranges for transplant production. SLC provided the physical and chemical requirements for herb transplant production without any additional fertilizers or amendments.

Authors: Hasandras Heather , Moore Kimberly A. , Gettys Lyn A.
Published: June 2018

Native aquatic plants are important to maintaining a balanced ecosystem, but they often are displaced by exotic invasive plant species. The research on the control and growth of the invasive aquatic species hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) using sand substrates and controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) provides a potential production technique for other aquatic plants. We questioned if we could use hydrilla production techniques to grow southern naiad (Najas guadalupensis), a Florida-native aquatic plant that is often mistaken for hydrilla. We grew southern naiad cuttings in containers filled with 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, or 0:100 coarse builder’s sand and sphagnum moss (by volume). Before planting, containers were fertilized with 0, 1, 2, or 4 g·kg−1 CRF (15N–4P–10K). Containers were submerged in large storage tubs filled with rainwater and grown for 8 weeks. Southern naiad shoot dry weight was greater in the 100% sand substrate than that in the 0% sand substrate. Substrate electrical conductivity (EC) levels were greater in the 0% sand with no difference among the other substrates. Shoot and root dry weight of plants fertilized with 1–2 g·kg−1 CRF were greater than 0 or 4 g·kg−1 CRF. Substrate EC also increased as fertilizer rate increased, with the highest EC observed at 4 g·kg−1 CRF. Based on our results, we would suggest growing southern naiad in substrates with 100% sand and fertilized with 1–2 g·kg−1 CRF.

Increased use of recycled water along with inherent soil salinity problems on golf courses make salinity an important issue for golf course management. The objective of this study was to investigate if using humus on golf fairways by topdressing or spraying can alleviate soil salinity problems and improve turf quality. The study was conducted from 2015 to 2017 at Aurora, CO, and Medora, ND. Treatments included an untreated control, topdressing (sand, sand + peat), and spraying of humic acid. Our results showed that the application of humus increased the soil microbial biomass and improved turf quality on fairways either with a soil salinity problem or irrigated with recycled water. The effects on turfgrass health and turf quality were dependent on the rates of humus applied. Humic acid at 3 gal/acre was equivalent to topdressing sand + peat (80/20 v/v) and consistently showed improved turf quality over the untreated control. Soil properties also were affected by the application of humus. Soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), bulk density, water infiltration, and microbial biomass may have had an indirect contribution to turf quality.

Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) are among the most economically important pests of ornamental plants. Soft scales (Coccidae) are phloem-feeding insects that produce large amounts of honeydew. By contrast, armored scales (Diaspididae) feed on the contents of plant cells and produce a waxy test that covers their bodies. We studied two species of armored scales [pine needle scale (Chionaspis pinifoliae) and oleander scale (Aspidiotus nerii)] and two species of soft scales [calico scale (Eulecanium cerasorum) and striped pine scale (Toumeyella pini)] to compare efficacy of selected insecticides. In addition, we assessed how the duration of first instar emergence might influence insecticide efficacy. Several reduced-risk insecticides (chlorantraniliprole, pyriproxyfen, spiromesifen, and spirotetramat), horticulture oil, and two broad-spectrum insecticide standards (bifenthrin and dinotefuran) were evaluated. Efficacy of insecticides was consistent within each scale family. Bifenthrin and pyriproxyfen were the only insecticides that killed soft scale insects. By contrast, all insecticides killed armored scales when the crawler stage was the target of application. Armored and soft scales may differ in susceptibility to pesticides because of likely differences in the chemical composition of their integuments and covers. Finally, we found that the effectiveness of a single application of insecticide declined by >15% when the duration of the crawling juvenile period was increased from 1 to 4 weeks. Increases in duration of a scale crawling period decreased the efficacy of a pesticide application.

Turnover poses a serious threat in healthcare settings. The scarcity of healthcare professionals and particularly nurses is highlighted as one of the biggest obstacles to achieving health system efficiency and effectiveness. As such, healthcare administrators need to search for ways to retain qualified and competent nurses. This study provides a framework depicting how organisational commitment can mediate the relationship between three forms of high performance work practices (HPWPs) (performance appraisal, compensation, and employment security) and turnover intention. Statistical analysis using partial least squares (PLS) conducted on questionnaire data from 639 staff nurses working in private hospitals in Malaysia revealed that two forms of HPWPs (performance appraisal and compensation) lead to reduced turnover intention via organisational commitment. Finally, the implications of our findings, limitations, and future research suggestions are discussed.
ETHNIC MIGRANT ENTREPRENEURS’ OPPORTUNITY EXPLOITATION AND CULTURAL DISTANCE: A CLASSIFICATION THROUGH A MATRIX OF OPPORTUNITIES

Published: June 2018

This research explores how ethnic migrant entrepreneurs (EMEs) from countries with a range of cultural differences to the host country exploit entrepreneurial opportunities in a single host country. Specifically, this study investigates: (1) the types of opportunities exploited by EMEs, and (2) the way they exploit these entrepreneurial opportunities. This study offers a contextualised insight on the link between entrepreneurial opportunity exploitation and cultural differences (operationalised using cultural distance, or CD). In particular, through highlighting the moderating role of CD, this study has developed a matrix of entrepreneurial opportunities based on cultural differences for EMEs, which can be useful for both EMEs and the host country’s administrative agencies. By accounting for culture in articulating the findings, this research contributes to theory by bridging the institutional-individual divide in entrepreneurship discussion through an institutional lens. A practical implication of this study is a delineation of opportunities according to cultural differences, which is beneficial for entrepreneurs across borders.

Os problemas nutricionais são, indubitavelmente, um dos mais importantes problemas de saúde pública mundialmente, estão diretamente ligados às condições socioeconômicas e culturais menos favorecidas e têm como sua maior vítima, a criança. Neste contexto, cabe ressaltar que uma das maneiras de prevenir, diagnosticar e tratar os casos de morbidades infantis se caracteriza por ações que visem à melhora e controle de possíveis distúrbios alimentares. Uma dessas ações refere-se à avaliação nutricional. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a experiência de uma avaliação do estado nutricional, por meio de avaliação antropométrica, de crianças de 1 a 5 anos matriculadas em uma creche escolar localizada um município da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, além das ações educativas propostas para as crianças e educadores frente ao cenário encontrado. A amostra do estudo foi de 62 crianças e as variáveis de estudo foram o sexo, a idade, o peso (kg), a estatura/altura (cm) e o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) (Kg/m2). Inicialmente, foram realizadas ações de educação em saúde e, posteriormente, realizou-se a aferição de peso e estatura/altura das crianças. Os valores de IMC na criança foram introduzidos no gráfico de IMC infantil. Os dados obtidos foram processados e analisados com auxílio do programa Statistical Software (Stata). Na amostra do estudo, observou-se que a tendência de distúrbio nutricional baixo peso ainda é mais agravante que o excesso de peso. Este estudo demonstrou que, alguns avanços são verificados, mas o baixo peso e excesso de peso são problemas relevantes no campo da atenção infantil. A atenção à saúde da criança é uma prioridade dentro dos cuidados à saúde das populações e a inserção no ambiente infantil nos fez refletir sobre a necessidade de melhor atenção em relação aos futuros adultos do nosso País.

O Programa Ensino Médio Inovador (ProEMI)é uma política pública educacional com o objetivo de fomentar propostas curriculares inovadoras nas escolas de Ensino Médio. Com o intuito de compreender como estas propostas vêm sendo desenvolvidas nos propomos discutir as implicações desse programa no âmbito do ensino de Ciências da Natureza nas escolas estaduais de Curitiba-Paraná, considerando o macrocampo Iniciação Científica e Pesquisa. A constituição de dados se deu por meio de três técnicas: a análise documental, a entrevista e o questionário, tendo como sujeitos da pesquisa os gestores, professores de Biologia, Física e Química e os respectivos alunos que participaram das ações desenvolvidas no âmbito do programa. A abordagem da pesquisa se fundamentou no Ciclo de Políticas de Stephen Ball e colaboradores e a análise dos dados foi realizada a partir da Análise Textual Discursiva. Foi possível constatar que os efeitos do ProEMI nas escolas investigadas foram de primeira ordem, caracterizados por mudanças apenas nas práticas fora da sala de aula e na estrutura parcial da escola. Pouca coisa mudou em relação ao currículo, a avaliação, os padrões de acesso ou oportunidades, sendo que estas mudanças foram restritas e privilegiando poucos alunos.
O MOVIMENTO ESCOLA SEM PARTIDO E A CRIMINALIZAÇÃO IDEOLÓGICA NA EDUCAÇÃO BRASILEIRA CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Gabatz Celso
Published: June 2018

O Movimento Escola Sem Partido (ESP) propõe uma lógica discursiva na qual deveria existir uma neutralidade do conhecimento e dos sujeitos no âmbito da educação. Trata-se em um contexto mais amplo, de uma perspectiva de construção de uma escola do pensamento único, pautada pelos parâmetros da racionalidade técnica e que vem ganhando força e adesão nos últimos anos. É uma educação que tem como finalidade atender aos interesses de quem vislumbra a formação humana em função da lógica do mercado e que, portanto, amplia mecanismos de controle e padronização de práticas educativas.
