Direito Agrário Como Direito De Terceira Dimensão: Considerações Teóricas Sobre A Função Social, Domínio, Propriedade E Posse
Authors: Freitas Junior Cesar Bueno De , Jordão Luciana Ramos
Published: February 2017

O artigo trata da função social da propriedade como princípio de Direito Agrário. Para fazer essa análise procura-se fazer uma imersão prévia nos institutos do domínio, posse e propriedade. Discorre sobre questões inerentes à diferença entre domínio e propriedade buscando visualizá-los por meio de uma função dinâmica conjugada por esses três institutos. Finalmente, trata da função social da propriedade através de uma análise socioeconômica, utilizando método crítico dialético, passando pelas presúrias e sesmarias portuguesas, a eclosão do capitalismo e do Estado liberal e das formas de teorização que mudaram a concepção de propriedade a partir dos séculos XVIII e XIX e os meios que foram constituídos para protegê-la.

CORPO COMO ÂNCORA DE SENTIDOS E PRODUTOR DE SIGNIFICADOS: TENSÕES A PARTIR DA PERFORMANCE ART
Authors: Nova Jéssica Vitorino da Silva Terra , Zoboli Fabio
Published: February 2017

O presente ensaio pretende revisar e argumentar – sob a perspectiva de alguns aspectos da semiótica e da fenomenologia – a crença de que o corpo é central na experimentação do conhecimento. Para tal, faremos uso da Performance Art como instrumento de organização sígnica que opera por intermédio do corpo de um performer que organiza signos com a intensão de propor uma experiência. O texto é fragmento do referencial teórico de uma dissertação de mestrado intitulada “A Performance Art como propedêutica da experiência: construção de sentidos e significados sobre, com e por meio do corpo”. O ensaio insiste na ênfase da necessidade da utilização da Performance Art como forma possível de estruturar e determinar a experiência do sujeito frente a um objeto a ser conhecido no âmbito das práticas pedagógicas de mediação de conhecimento.
The Effects of Tangible Rewards versus Cash Rewards in Consecutive Sales Tournaments: A Field Experiment
Authors: Kelly Khim , Presslee Adam , Webb R. Alan
Published: February 2017

We investigate the effects of tangible versus cash rewards in a repeated tournament setting. Firms frequently use tangible rewards to motivate employees, but minimal research has examined their effects relative to cash rewards. We conducted a field experiment at a rug wholesaler that held two consecutive sales tournaments for its retailers. The top three retailers in each tournament received either cash rewards or tangible rewards (gift cards) to be distributed to sales staff. We do not find significant effects of reward type in the first tournament. However, in the second tournament, retailers eligible for tangible rewards significantly outperformed those eligible for cash rewards, and this effect is driven by Tournament One losers. Our results are consistent with the theory that Tournament One losers competing for tangible rewards increased sales effort in the second tournament significantly more than their counterparts competing for cash rewards. Our results have practical and theoretical implications.
Using Drones in Internal and External Audits: An Exploratory Framework
Authors: Appelbaum Deniz , Nehmer Robert A.
Published: February 2017

Recently the FAA relaxed restrictions on the use of drones or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) for commercial purposes. Markets for commercial drone use are in the technology trigger phase of the Gartner Group's Hyper Cycle, with developments occurring rapidly in real estate, agriculture (farming), the film industry, insurance, and other areas. Examination and inspection applications of drones have been proposed in heavy industry and cell tower inspection. Previous research suggests an incremental structure for implementing technological innovations such as continuous auditing (CA). In this paper these proposals are expanded to include the additional requirements to add drone technologies. This structure is extended here by (1) defining the use of drones in audit environments, with emphasis on the continuous versus occasional use of drone technologies, (2) extending the technical adoption architecture to include the use of drones, and (3) considering the types of drone usages amenable to both internal and external audits. A specific architecture is proposed here to prototype inventory counts in large warehouses or open-air inventories and that satisfies the suggested requirements. Additionally, this proposal adds value to the current research by extending the discussion of technology adoption in the Alles, Kogan, and Vasarhelyi (2008) paper to include the use of drones in many different audit environments by enumerating the usage types of drones in audit settings and by considering the prototype of such a system.
Perceptions of Adolescent Patients of the “Lived Experience” of Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: King Kathryn M. , King Philip J. , Nayar Rahul , Wilkes Scott
Published: February 2017

The care and management of adolescents with type 1 diabetes presents numerous challenges that are inherent to the fears, attitudes, and perceptions of their illness. This qualitative study aimed to explore the “lived experience” of individuals with type 1 diabetes. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in their adolescent years to elicit their views, perceptions, and concerns regarding living with diabetes. All interviews were conducted and analyzed using the principles of grounded theory. Five categories defining the patients’ lived experience were elicited: Barriers, Develop Skills, Manage Emotion, Social World, and Health Care Professionals.

The problems experienced by adolescents with type 1 diabetes are multifactorial. Existentially, type 1 diabetes affects their daily activities and impinges on their academic achievement and personal aspirations. They have great difficulty coping with their health status and highlight a lack of empathy from health care professionals (HCPs). Their major fear is of hypoglycemia, resulting in their subsequent focus of preventing hypoglycemic episodes. Indeed, regardless of consequence, blood glucose levels are often deliberately kept above recommended levels, which serves to decrease the effectiveness of their health care management. This study shows that the quality of care provided for adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes is failing to meet their expectations and falls short of the essential standards commensurate with current health care policy. Improvements in long-term care management for these patients require changes in both patients’ and professionals’ understanding of the disease and of the ways it is managed.

Darma “pengabdian kepada masyarakat” oleh perguruan tinggi seringkali dikonotasi-kan sebagai suatu kegiatan pemberian bantuan dan pelayanan secara cumacuma kepada kelompok masyarakat yang lemah, tidak mampu secara ekonomis, dan berada dalam ko-disi keterbelakangan.Konotasi semacam itu adalah akibat dari kesalahan dalam menaf-sirkan istilah “pengabdian” terbatas sebagai suatu “kegiatan tanpa pamrih”. Padahal, kegiatan pemberian bantuan dan pelayanan tersebut hanya merupakan salah satu bentuk dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat oleh perguruan tinggi, dan tidak selalu harus dilakukan secara cumacuma. Di samping itu, semua komponen organisasi perguruan tinggi dapat melaksanakan darma pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini, karena pelaksanaan darma tersebut tidak hanya menjadi tugas dan kewajiban dari lembaga fungsional  seperti Lembaga Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat  yang telah dibentuk sec-ara khusus oleh perguruan tinggi. Dosen (baik secara pe-orangan maupun kelompok), Laboratorium, Jurusan, serta Pusat Penelitian, juga dapat melaksanakannya sesuai de-ngan bentuk kegiatan pengabdian yang relevan.

STUDI PRAKTIK EARNINGS MANAGEMENTPADA PERUSAHAAN YANG MELAKUKAN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGDI BURSA EFEK JAKARTA
Authors: Riduwan Akhmad
Published: February 2017

Saat melakukan penawaran saham perdana (Initial Public Offering atau disingkat IPO) adalah saat yang penting bagi perusahaan. Harga perdana saham mempunyai dampak yang signifikan terhadap perusahaan yang mengeluarkan sekuritas (issuers). Kas yang diperoleh dari pasar perdana ini, oleh issuersdapat dinikmati secara langsung. Hasil penjualan saham masuk ke perusahaan sebagai dana segar yang bisa tak terbatas jum-lahnya dibandingkan surat hutang, tergantung pada prospek perusahaan di masa men-datang di mata investor. Seringkali harga perdana ditetapkan berdasarkan informasi non harga (non-price information). Metode yang paling lazim digunakan underwriters dan investor untuk menilai saham perdana adalah dengan menggunakan pendekatan perusa-haan-perusahaan yang dapat diperbandingkan (comparable-firms approach). Pendekat-an ini menggunakan price-earning ratioperusahaan-perusahaan yang dapat diperban-dingkan sebagai penentu awal (yang dianggap mewakili open market price) untuk kemu-dian dikalikan dengan earnings perusahaan yang akan menawarkan saham perdananya. Oleh karenanya, informasi earnings yang disampaikan sebelum perusahaan menawarkan saham perdananya memegang peranan yang sangat penting untuk mendongkrak harga saham perdana.Alasan di atas cukup kuat untuk sampai pada dugaan bahwa issuers mungkin saja mela-kukan earnings managementdengan meninggikan laba dan melaporkannya pada infor-masi yang dipublikasikan sebelum penawaran saham perdananya untuk mendapatkan insentif dari pasar modal. Kajian tentang hal tersebut memberikan bukti bahwa manajer mengatur earnings pada saat mendekati penawaran perdana (penelitian oleh Friedlan 1994, Shivakumar 2000).Kebanyakan investor yang menggunakan informasi pada prospektus sebagai satu-satunya sumber informasi yang mudah dan murah, akan sangat mudah terpengaruh oleh pilihan-pilihan kebijakan akuntansi issuers dalam rangka earnings management.Penelitian ini mengkaji kemungkinan perusahaan-perusahaan yang melakukan penawar-an saham perdananya di Bursa Efek Jakarta mengatur earnings sedemikian rupa dan meng-informasikannya melalui prospektus dengan tujuan mencapai harga perdana yang setinggi-tingginya. Setelah itu, perusahaan mengembalikan earnings ke tingkat semula.

GLOBALISASI, PERUBAHAN STRUKTUR EKONOMI, DAN REPOSISI BIROKRASI (STUDI KASUS OTONOMI DAERAH GRESIK-SIDOARJO, 1974-1999)
Authors: Suparjono Suparjono
Published: February 2017

This study aims to explains the impact of globalization and economic liberalization on Indonesia's economic structure and as a result, the increase of local original income (PAD) in the regions of Gresik and of Sidoarjo to support the implementation of local autonomy under Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 197-1. Entering the decade of l980's the government of Indonesia decided to reform its economic structure from a state-led development into a market-driven development by launching a package of deregulations. This, in turn, had an impact on capital inflows from foreign countries as well as increasing trade between Indonesia and other countries. These developments resulted in the emergence and the growth of industrial and trade regions in Indonesia, particularly in the regions ofGresik and ofSidoarjo. However, it brought about a marginal increase in PAD.  Therefore, the role of PAD had also been marginal in the process of implementing local autonomy.  Thus; this study concluded that the reposition of bureaucracy was an important action necessarily taken by the local government to improve its capability in implementing local autonomy.
GLOBALISASI, KEMISKINAN, DAN KETIMPANGAN DALAM DISTRIBUSI PENDAPATAN: KASUS INDONESIA

Published: February 2017

Globalization has become an actual phenomenon this century. Scientist, academician, politician, and mass-media have been continuously discussing this phenomenon.Its development has been pushed by the revolution of communication technology and speeded up by the low level of transportation cost. Then, supported by the victory of neoliberalism orfrequently called as the New Right in England and in the United States, globalization has also been backed up by the ideology of free market and then has been widely "accepted" in the entire world. This group has convinced that globalization which is based on the ideology of free market will create the allocation of economic resources more efficiently. In the end, this will increas economic growth, prosperity, justice, peace , and democracy. Therefore, every country should open its market widelyfor global market in order to promote the highest economic growth.Jn its practice, however, economic globalization has itsfundamental weaknesses, so that this questions the thesis of neoliberals. Jn many cases, globalization has created inequality of income distribution, unemployment, and the widening poverty in the developing countries, including Indonesia. During the period of economic crisis since the last more than five years, the social and economic life of Indonesian which has been under poverty line, already double right now. One of many causes is globalization.
Minimising orphaning in the brown hare Lepus europaeus in England and Wales: should a close season be introduced?
Authors: Butterworth Andrew , Turner Katy M. E. , Jennings Nancy
Published: February 2017

The European brown hare Lepus europaeus is an r‐selected species showing relatively high fecundity, and changes in the hare population can be influenced by the timing of hunting and reproductive activity. Between February and August in Europe, the majority of female hares are either pregnant or suckling young, or both, and if a female is killed during the suckling period, the young hares (leverets) are orphaned and are likely to die of starvation. In England and Wales, in contrast with other European countries, there is no close season when hunting hares is prohibited, and the peak time of hunting in February coincides with the start of reproductive activity. We explore the impact of hunting practices on the risk of death by starvation of dependent young. By modelling scenarios of hunting at the highest documented rate at times of the year based on practices adopted in England and Wales, and by comparing this with the close season practice in Scotland, we quantify seasonally variable risks of orphaning and death by starvation of leverets. Hunting in February leads to a profoundly damaging combination of population shrinkage (λ = 0.534) and levels of orphaning of leverets corresponding to 7.6% of the year start population and thus providing poor welfare and poor population recovery outcomes for the hare. These illustrative figures compare very unfavourably with the modelled Scottish population which has a growth rate of λ = 1.404 and levels of orphaning of leverets corresponding to 0.3% of the year start population. We anticipate that these findings will stimulate consideration of the impact of hunting practices, and that increased understanding of the effects of the timing of hunting may aid policy development aimed at protecting dependent young hares.

Published: February 2017

Trauma is an important cause of monocular blindness in the developing world. This study aims to determine the demo­graphic profile and visual outcome of cataract surgery among the children with traumatic cataract. It was a prospective and longitudinal study of 189 consecutive children below 16 years who underwent cataract surgery with intra ocular lens (IOL) implantation for traumatic cataract at Sagarmatha Choudhary Eye Hospital, Lahan, Nepal from October 2012 to March 2014. Assessment included visual acuity measurement in the Snellen’s chart or the Cardiff card, anterior segment examina­tion with slit lamp, dilated fundus examination with the help of +20D lens in indirect ophthalmoscope, B-scan ultrasonogra­phy of posterior segment and objective and subjective refraction. Follow up was scheduled at first post-operative day, at dis­charge, one month and three months. Cause and type of trauma, demographic factors, surgical intervention, complications, and visual acuity was recorded. Among 189, majority of them were males (73%) and the average age was 8.8±3.6 years. The time of presentation ranged from 3 days to 8 years (median age two months). Wooden stick was the most common cause of injury (34.4%). The average preoperative visual acuity in logMAR scale was 1.6. The average postoperative visual acuity in logMAR scale was 0.8. Eye injuries with traumatic cataract are associated with significant visual impairment. Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation restores vision significantly.
Assessment of biochemistry request forms

Published: February 2017

Oversight of information on biochemistry requisition forms may lead to laboratory errors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of completion of these forms. The observational cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2014 and March 2015 in the biochemistry department of a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu after approval by the Institutional Ethical Review Committee. Two thousand and thirty nine request forms were randomly assessed for the completeness of information provided by the requesting physician. Microsoft excels software and SPSS-17 was used for analysis. Patient confidentiality was maintained. Out of 2039 request forms examined, the only 100% documented parameter was the pa­tient’s name. Date of specimen collection was recorded in 79.74% of forms and age in 98.53%. The working diagnosis was recorded in 28.44% but no information regarding patient preparation. While the consultants name were stated in 13.29% of cases, drug history in 0.24%. Parameters like gender were recorded in 98.82%, sample type in 0.29%. Whether the patient was present in the ward or in the outpatient department was documented in 15.11% whereas patient number in 38.35%. Doctors were more likely to sign the forms rather than providing their name/designation. This study demonstrates that the custom of completion of request forms was poor. As laboratory data plays a significant role in medical diagnosis and re­search, incomplete data provided to the laboratory could significantly impact on the comments and successful outcome of treatment. Closer interaction between clinicians and laboratory personnel by means of request forms can improve the quality of services to patients.

Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) is one the preferred modality of treatment for Rheumatic mitral stenosis. This is usually performed with onsite surgical backup to tackle the complications like cardiac tamponade needing surgical drainage and severe mitral regurgitation which requires emergency Mitral Valve Replacement. Our aim is to evaluate the pre and post procedural outcomes of the BMV, without onsite surgical backup. Total patients were 88 who underwent BMV in Chitwan Medical College, from Feb 2014 to Jan. 2016. All symptomatic patients (NYHA class II- IV) with their mitral valve area (MVA ) <1.5cm2 were enrolled. Detail clinical evaluation and Echocardiography was done before and after the procedure. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia, using the step-wise Inoue balloon dilation with the ante grade transvenous approach. The successful procedure was 87 (98.8 %). The mean age was 38+13 yrs, mean pre BMV MVA= 0.85+0.18 cm2, mean Post BMV MVA =1.76+0.23 cm2, by plannimetry. Pre BMV mean left atrium pressure=23.10+6.79 mmHg and post BMV mean left atrium pressure=12.48+4.86mmHg.Minor complication like puncture site hematoma in 3 (3.44%) patients, vasovagal attack in 5 (5.74%) patients after intra atrial septal puncture, Ventricular arrhythmia in 3(3.44%) patients and supraventricular arrhythmia in 8 (9.19%) patients. Severe mitral regurgitation occurred in 4 (4.59%) patients and managed medically. Cardiac tamponade developed in 1(1.2%) patient, pericardiocentesis done. Balloon Mitral Valvotomy is safe and effective procedure for patient with severe and symptomatic patient with Rheumatic MS. It can be formed without onsite surgical backup with experience hand.

More than 1 billion people worldwide smoke. If current trends continue, 8.4 million smokers are estimated to die annually of smoking-related deaths by the year 2020. To find out awareness towards tobacco consumption and to find out association between awareness towards tobacco and status of tobacco consumption among residents of Dhankuta municipality. The cross-sectional study was conducted among residents of Dhankuta Municipality where 205 households were taken as subjects. Pretested semi-structured questionnaire was administered to the study subjects and face to face interview was conducted. Chi-square test was applied to find out the association between awareness towards tobacco and status of tobacco consumption. Almost 41% of respondents were found to be aware of the harmful consequences of tobacco consumption. The respondents who did not consume tobacco was seen more aware of tobacco consumption (85.7%) than consuming tobacco (14.3%) (P<0.001).The respondents think the problem of tobacco consumption can be control by bann the production was significantly higher among those did not consuming tobacco (57.7%) than consuming tobacco (42.3%) (<0.001). Most of the respondents think smoking can be discourage by strict low (60.5%) followed by family support (24.9%) and education (20%) and recreational activities (8.8%). Awareness towards the harmful consequences of tobacco consumption was found to be less in Dhankuta Municipality. The problem of tobacco consumption can control by bann the production, awareness program and medicine i.e. nicotine therapy.
An On-Line Tracker for a Stochastic Chaotic System Using Observer/Kalman Filter Identification Combined with Digital Redesign Method
Authors: Chien Tseng-Hsu , Chen Yeong-Chin
Published: February 2017

This is the first paper to present such a digital redesign method for the (conventional) OKID system and apply this novel technique for nonlinear system identification. First, the Observer/Kalman filter Identification (OKID) method is used to obtain the lower-order state-space model for a stochastic chaos system. Then, a digital redesign approach with the high-gain property is applied to improve and replace the observer identified by OKID. Therefore, the proposed OKID combined with an observer-based digital redesign novel tracker not only suppresses the uncertainties and the nonlinear perturbations, but also improves more accurate observation parameters of OKID for complex Multi-Input Multi-Output systems. In this research, Chen’s stochastic chaotic system is used as an illustrative example to demonstrate the effectiveness and excellence of the proposed methodology.
Transpermeance Amplifier Applied to Magnetic Bearings
Authors: Ferreira Jossana , Maslen Eric , Fittro Roger
Published: February 2017

The most conventional approach of controlling magnetic forces in active magnetic bearings (AMBs) is through current feedback amplifiers: transconductance. This enables the operation of the AMB to be understood in terms of a relatively simple current-based model as has been widely reported on in the literature. The alternative notion of using transpermeance amplifiers, which approximate the feedback of gap flux rather than current, has been in commercial use in some form for at least thirty years, however is only recently seeing more widespread acceptance as a commercial standard. This study explores how such alternative amplifiers should be modeled and then examines the differences in behavior between AMBs equipped with transconductance and transpermeance amplifiers. The focus of this study is on two aspects. The first is the influence of rotor displacement on AMB force, commonly modeled as a constant negative equivalent mechanical stiffness, and it is shown that either scheme actually leads to a finite bandwidth effect, but that this bandwidth is much lower when transpermeance is employed. The second aspect is the influence of eddy currents. Using a very simple model of eddy currents (a secondary short-circuited coil), it is demonstrated that transpermeance amplifiers can recover significant actuator bandwidth compared with transconductance, but at the cost of needing increased peak current headroom.

Published: February 2017

Electromagnetic (EM) simulation of dual-polarized antennas is necessary for precise initial alignments, calibration and performance predictions of multi-function phased array radar systems. To achieve the required flexibility and scalability, a novel Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) solution is developed for rectangular, cylindrical and non-orthogonal coordinate systems to simulate various types of array antenna manifolds. Scalable array pattern predictions and beam generations are obtained by combining the FDTD simulation solutions with the Near-Field (NF) chamber measurements. The effectiveness and accuracy of this approach are validated by comparing different simulations and comparing simulations with measurements.

Published: February 2017

The combination of biochar (BC) with compost has been suggested to be a promising strategy to promote plant growth and performance, but although “synergistic” effects have been stated to occur, full-factorial experiments are few, and explicit tests for synergism are lacking. We tested the hypothesis that a combination of BC and spent mushroom substrate (SMS) has a positive synergistic effect on plant growth and physiological performance in a nutrient-limited growing media. A greenhouse experiment with a full factorial design was conducted using mixed-wood BC (3.0 kg·m−2) and SMS (1.5 kg·m−2) (the combination was not co-composted) as organic soil amendments for the annual Abutilon theophrasti and the perennial Salix purpurea. Several measurements related to plant growth and physiological performance were taken throughout the experiment. Contrary to the hypothesis, we found that the combination of BC + SMS had neutral or antagonistic interactive effects on many plant growth traits. Antagonistic effects were found on maximum leaf area, above- and belowground biomass, reproductive allocation, maximum plant height, chlorophyll fluorescence, and stomatal conductance of A. theophrasti. The effect on S. purpurea was mostly neutral. We conclude that the generalization that BC and compost have synergistic effects on plant performance is not supported.
Multi-Objective Configuration Optimization of a Hybrid Energy Storage System

Published: February 2017

This study aims to investigate multi-objective configuration optimization of a hybrid energy storage system (HESS). In order to maximize the stability of the wind power output with minimized HESS investment, a multi-objective model for optimal HESS configuration has been established, which proposes decreasing the installation and operation & maintenance costs of an HESS and improving the compensation satisfaction rate of wind power fluctuation. Besides, fuzzy control has been used to allocate power in the HESS for lengthening battery lifetime and ensuring HESS with enough energy to compensate the fluctuation of the next time interval. Instead of converting multiple objectives into one, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization with integration of bacteria quorum sensing and circular elimination (BC-MOPSO) has been applied to provide diverse alternative solutions. In order to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model and the application of BC-MOPSO, simulations along with analysis and discussion are carried out. The results verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
