Estimación de la evapotranspiración de referencia para dos zonas (Costa y Región Andina) del Ecuador
Authors: Vega Ponce Emil Crsthian
Published: April 2019

Em duas zonas de latitudes similares e com diferentes altitudes, tais como Portoviejo (Região Costa) e Riobamba (Região Andina) no Equador, procurou-se ajustar os modelos de  Holdridge  (Ho)  e  Hargreaves-Samani (H-S)  e  com  três  modificações  (modelos com  constantes  CHO  e  KE  e  KT Diário, Mensal  e  Anual,  respectivamente) com o propósito  de estimar a evapotranspiração  de referência (ETo), em diferentes níveis das médias móveis do tempo, para o período de três dias. Uma vez ajustados os coeficientes CHO, KE e KT, estimou-se a ETo e foram validados os resultados mediante compa- ração com as   mensurações da ETo, utilizando-se da evaporação do tanque Classe A com seu respectivo coeficiente (ETo Pan). Nos coeficientes CHO (Ho) e KE (H-S), o melhor desempenho foi obtido pela correlação do CHO e KS com o déficit da pressão de vapor (DPV), uma vez que o mesmo corrige o gradiente térmico vertical e incrementa a qualidade da predição da ETo, enquanto  correlaciona  o  coeficiente   KT (H-S) com a  temperatura do ar, permitindo corrigir  a  radiação  solar.  Na  comparação das três modificações de ambos os modelos com o ETo Pan, os modelos CHO Diário e H-S Mensal conseguiu-se as melhores estimativas da ETo com os indicadores de ajustes levemente melhores em Portoviejo e Riobamba.

Published: April 2019

En el Ecuador se observa que las microempresas campesinas tienen un escaso acceso al desarrollo tecnológico, lo que no ha permitido agregar valor a su producto y se han conformado con ser simples proveedores de materia prima, convirtiéndose en una trampa para alcanzar su desarrollo económico. Es el caso de los productores de cacao que tienen pequeñas extensiones de tierra son el 90% de 433.978 hectáreas cultivadas en el Ecuador, al no tener acceso a la tecnología venden el cacao en baba y no completan el proceso que sería fermentar y secar el cacao, esto lo hace acreedor a un castigo en el precio al momento de venderlo, ya que los comercializadores les pagan por su producto menos del 50% del precio oficial. Ante esta realidad de la microeconomía campesina nace una innovación tecnológica,  que podría beneficiar a cerca de 94.545 que se estima existen en el Ecuador,  productores de la pepa de oro, ya que, con el apoyo estatal, cada uno de ellos podría tener en su poder las dos máquinas que propongo, la fermentadora y el horno solar, y con ellas completarían el proceso del cacao, fermentarlo, secarlo adecuadamente y obtener precios competitivos en el mercado.

Authors: Valarezo Cely Oswaldo , Cañarte Bermúdez Ernesto , Navarrete Cedeño Bernardo
Published: April 2019

Los ecosistemas de cacao se caracterizan por la diversidad de especies vegetales y animales que proporcionan equilibrio y estabilidad, esto hace que sea considerado de bajo impacto y como un sistema agrícola compatible con los principios de conservación de la naturaleza. Los sistemas agroforestales de cacao brindan condiciones favorables para muchos depredadores como ciertas aves que anidan en los arboles cercanos y se alimentan de insectos considerados plagas potenciales. En el suelo, la hojarasca y materiales orgánicos diversos ofrecen hábitats apropiados para algunos roedores, pequeños reptiles, artrópodos y microorganismos entomopatógenos que depredan insectos potencialmente dañinos. Entre las especies de artrópodos que cumplen su función dentro de la cadena  trófica, se encuentran grupos de insectos de diferentes hábitos alimenticios como fitófagos, depredadores,  parasitoides  y polinizadores.

Colombia: el desafío de implementar una paz imperfecta
Authors: Rodríguez Pinzón Erika
Published: April 2019

En abril de 2019 habrán pasado casi tres años desde que el gobierno de Colombia firmase la paz con la guerrilla de las FARC, ahora convertida en movimiento político. La paz generó grandes expectativas; sin embargo, su consolidación requiere implementar los puntos que incluye el Acuerdo Final. El postconflicto se enfrenta a múltiples retos: algunos de ellos se refieren a las dificultades propias del escenario y a los déficits que busca resolver y otros, los mayores, son producto de la polarización política, del discurso político crítico con el Acuerdo y de la aceptación del concepto de la paz positiva.
Claire Weeda, 'Cleanliness, Civility, and the City in Medieval Ideals and Scripts'
Authors: Weeda Claire
Published: April 2019

Latin and vernacular urban panegyrics, describing the ideal city and its residents, mushroomed in the twelfth century. Painting a utopian view of the city that mirrors the heavenly Jerusalem, they rhetorically conveyed ideals of urbanity for aspiring members of the body politic to emulate. This chapter explores the ways in which the cityscape constructed in these texts, and residents’ behaviour (as influenced by conduct manuals and regimes of health), appear embedded in a natural environment reflected through the lens of Galenic medicine. Evoking the benefits of cleanliness and beauty, these concepts of health and hygiene accorded closely with issues of social status. The disciplined quest for moderation and balance offered spiritual and physical health, as well as enhanced personal repute.

Authors: Pires Manoela Alves , Pereira Rafael Felix
Published: April 2019

O Biodiesel, por ser um combustível biodegradável derivado de fontes renováveis, vem sendo alvo de diversos temas relacionados à sua participação inovadora na matriz energética mundial. Devido às reservas dos combustíveis fósseis estarem se tornando cada vez mais escassas e os impactos ambientais causados por estes serem significativos, torna-se necessário, uma avaliação da utilização do biodiesel tendo em vista aspectos: econômicos, sociais e ambientais. O Brasil é um grande produtor de oleaginosas, matéria-prima para produção de biodiesel, e ao mesmo tempo possui um déficit energético no qual se refere ao diesel, assim, torna-se importante o desenvolvimento de alternativas para suprir esta necessidade e diminuir a poluição causada pelo uso dos combustíveis fósseis. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de verificar, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo feita à Seção de Transporte da Academia da Força Aérea (AFA) a viabilidade de substituir o combustível diesel pelo biocombustível biodiesel. Os resultados mostraram que economicamente não há custos para fazer a substituição do diesel para biodiesel, sendo também o custo do próprio combustível equivalente ao diesel e o biodiesel um combustível promissor do ponto de vista ambiental.

The system of equations is approximated by a splitting finite difference scheme. A parallel version of the finite‐difference scheme is proposed and the efficiency of this algorithm is investigated. Calculations are performed using clusters of computers, connected via local computer network. The emphasis is made on solving this problem on heterogeneous clusters. In the paper a static distribution scheme is analyzed. The results of several computational experiments are presented. Data redistribution during an initial phase of computation is investigated and the influence of slow communication among the processes is taken into account during this analysis.
A NOVEL EXPLICIT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEME FOR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Authors: Dey S. K.
Published: April 2019

Most explicit finite difference schemes have very stringent stability criterion. In 1982, Charlie Dey [1] developed a novel method and solved several partial differential equations representing models of fluid flow. (He was then only 10 years old). Recent mathematical analysis shows that this relatively simple method is quite powerful to solve any flow model if it has a steady‐state solution using a stability criterion which is a lot less stringent than most explicit finite difference schemes generally applied in Computational Fluid Dynamics [2].

Published: April 2019

Globalization perspective considers the world as a large market, which requires the resources readiness as capital to be able to participate actively. Local culture is an important capital to create identity and social harmonization in constructing a better quality of life. In the 15th–16th century AD, the Java north coast of Indonesia was known for having several old towns with their important roles in spreading Islam. Centuries later the legend of Walisanga still greatly influences the people’s lives particularly in Demak. The Muslim community is living tradition in this area has become one of the identity of the city. The development in the last decades has shown significant impacts on the tourism sector. This phenomenon showed that there would be conflicts of interests between social-cultural sectors and economic sectors. In this kind of situation, the community must adapt spatial settings to accommodate their needs. The purpose of this article is to find the concept of spatial setting formed by economic, cultural and religious factors in this historical area. The locus is the Muslim settlements in Kadilangu Demak a site of Sunan Kalijaga’s heritage. This study that employed qualitative research methods, the three spatial concepts proposed are: (1) the identity space of local culture is strongly exists (2) the shift in the value of space, which has changed from the glory of the noble family tothe common people (3) the space for morality control, which functions as the control of community’s moral. The third concepts are local genius, which is significantly potential for tourism.

Background

Pre-cART (combined antiretroviral therapy) plasma viral load >500,000 copies/ml has been associated with a lower probability of achieving virological suppression, while few data about its role on maintenance of virological suppression are available. In this study we aimed to clarify whether high levels of pre-cART viraemia are associated with virological rebound (VR) after virological suppression.

Methods

HIV-infected individuals who achieved virological suppression after first-line cART were included. VR was defined as the first of two consecutive viraemia >50 copies/ml (VR50) or, in an alternative analysis, >200 copies/ml (VR200). The impact of pre-cART viraemia on the risk of VR was evaluated by survival analyses.

Results

Among 5,766 patients included, 59.2%, 31.4%, 5.2% and 4.2% had pre-cART viraemia ≤100,000, 100,001–500,000, 500,001–1,000,000 and >1,000,000 copies/ml, respectively. Patients with pre-cART viraemia levels >1,000,000 copies/ml had the highest probability of VR (>1,000,000; 500,000– 1,000,000; 100,000–500,000; <100,000 copies/ml; VR50: 28.4%; 24.3%; 17.6%; 13.8%, P<0.0001; VR200: 14.4%; 11.1%; 7.2%; 7.6%; P=0.009). By Cox multivariable analyses, patients with pre-cART viraemia >500,000 and >1,000,000 copies/ml showed a significantly higher risk of VR regardless of the VR end point used. No difference in the risk of VR was found between patients with pre-cART viraemia ranging 500,000–1,000,000 copies/ml and those with pre-cART viraemia >1,000,000 copies/ml, regardless of the VR end point used.

Conclusions

Pre-cART plasma viral load levels >500,000 copies/ml can identify fragile patients with poorer chance of maintaining virological control after an initial response. An effort in defining effective treatment strategies is mandatory for these patients that remain difficult to treat.

Published: April 2019

Although mites are often associated with reptiles, there is little information available about parasites of lizards in Brazil. The aim of this study was to identify the ectoparasites of the lizards Kentropyx calcarata (Squamata: Teiidae), Hemidactylus mabouia (Squamata: Gekkonidae) and Tropidurus hispidus (Squamata: Tropiduridae) from northeastern Brazil. The lizards were captured during the dry season at Mata de Tejipió, a fragment of Atlantic Forest, located in the municipality of Recife, state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. Eutrombicula sp. (Acari: Trombiculidae), Geckobia hemidactyli and Geckobiella harrisi (Acari: Pterygosomatidae) were found associated with adult lizards of K. calcarata, H. mabouia, and T. hispidus, respectively. Mites were found in skin folds of the throat and post femoral regions (Eutrombicula sp.), “mite-pockets” (G. harrisi); and in axillary, dorsal, ventral and pelvic regions (G. hemidactyli). In Brazil, this study widens the known geographical distribution of Geckobiella harrisi on T. hispidus and G. hemidactyli on H. mabouia. In addition, K. calcarata is recorded as a new host of Eutrombicula sp. These findings show the importance of ectoparasites as a tool for ecological and biogeographic studies.
Gas-cooled nuclear reactor core shaping using heat exchange intensifiers
Authors: Kuzevanov Vyacheslav S. , Podgorny Sergey K.
Published: April 2019

The need to shape reactor cores in terms of coolant flow distributions arises due to the requirements for temperature fields in the core elements (Safety guide No. NS-G-1.12. 2005, IAEA nuclear energy series No. NP-T-2.9. 2014, Specific safety requirements No. SSR-2/1 (Rev.1) 2014). However, any reactor core shaping inevitably leads to an increase in the core pressure drop and power consumption to ensure the primary coolant circulation. This naturally makes it necessary to select a shaping principle (condition) and install heat exchange intensifiers to meet the safety requirements at the lowest power consumption for the coolant pumping.

The result of shaping a nuclear reactor core with identical cooling channels can be predicted at a quality level without detailed calculations. Therefore, it is not normally difficult to select a shaping principle in this case, and detailed calculations are required only where local heat exchange intensifiers are installed.

The situation is different if a core has cooling channels of different geometries. In this case, it will be unavoidable to make a detailed calculation of the effects of shaping and heat transfer intensifiers on changes in temperature fields.

The aim of this paper is to determine changes in the maximum wall temperatures in cooling channels of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors using the combined effects of shaped coolant mass flows and heat exchange intensifiers installed into the channels. Various shaping conditions have been considered. The authors present the calculated dependences and the procedure for determining the thermal coolant parameters and maximum temperatures of heat exchange surface walls in a system of parallel cooling channels.

Variant calculations of the GT-MHR core (NRC project No. 716 2002, Vasyaev et al. 2001, Neylan et al. 1994) with cooling channels of different diameters were carried out. Distributions of coolant flows and temperatures in cooling channels under various shaping conditions were determined using local resistances and heat exchange intensifiers. Preferred options were identified that provide the lowest maximum wall temperature of the most heat-stressed channel at the lowest core pressure drop.

The calculation procedure was verified by direct comparison of the results calculated by the proposed algorithm with the CFD simulation results (ANSYS Fluent User’s Guide 2016, ANSYS Fluent. Customization Manual 2016, ANSYS Fluent. Theory Guide 2016, Shaw1992, Anderson et al. 2009, Petrila and Trif 2005, Mohammadi and Pironneau 1994).

We can say that television is a social or mass médium, sent to all the saciety, so there are million of addressers uho receive the messages at the same time. If maves TV a perfect way to pass ideas, thoughts and products on, so the advertising World uses it to sell its products using various elements, standing out the sound and the music. The called creative of advertising ark themselves questions about the Picture World, the sound, the music and the best colours tos ele some products or spread some facts though television.

La televisión es un medio ideal para comunicarse con una masa de personas, a veces impensable, por lo que propicia ser un campo ideal para la publicidad de cualquier producto o idea. La publicidad se puede definir como el arte de buscar los procedimientos más adecuados para promover y divulgar una serie de ideas, pensamientos o productos dentro de una cultura o sociedad. Para ello, los llamados creativos de la publicidad se plantean una serie de preguntas relacionadas con el mundo de la imagen, el sonido o música y los colores más idóneos para algún producto o hecho que se quiera vender o divulgar a través de la televisión. Está comprobado que cualquier consumidor compra atraído por un conjunto de imágenes que se identifican con una determinada marca, tales como el eslogan, el tipo de publicidad, prestigio del producto, etc. A través de la televisión la publicidad se introduce en nuestras vidas, en nuestras casas y familias por medio de: - Las imágenes que utilizan personajes de todo tipo, reales y de ficción o incluso caricaturas con las que las personas se sienten identificadas o que representan una forma o estilo de vida el cual se quiere alcanzar. - El color nos produce sensaciones físicas que colaboran en transmitir un determinado mensaje, incluso se estudia y cuida mucho los colores utilizados para los diferentes telespectadores a los que se dirige el mensaje. - El eslogan es una frase contundente que acompaña al producto o idea que se quiere vender o transmitir.

The virtual school es neither restricted to a physical place (the school) nor a fiexed timetable. On the wntrary, students and teachen interact without spacial or temporary restriaions. Virtual school provide big opportunities to the students who cannot attend regular classes for different reasons and in some cases technolow turns out to be a more successful model than wnventional education.

La «escuela virtual» es aquella escuela que no imparte docencia dentro de un único espacio físico (escuela) ni dentro de unos horarios fijos (horario escolar) y en ella cualquier alumno o profesor puede conectarse e interacturar sin restricciones espaciales ni temporales. Estas escuelas virtuales proporcionan grandes oportunidades a los estudiantes que no pueden asistir al curso regular por diferentes motivos y en algunos casos la tecnología puede ser un modelo con mayor éxito que la educación convencional.

Published: April 2019

Individuals with serious mental illness transitioning from state psychiatric hospitals to community living need specialized skills to enter community housing programs. There are few examples of best practice hospital group programs to improve community living skills. To address this gap, the authors developed a community skills training and discharge readiness program,

toolkit. The new program uses facilitator and participant handouts, implementation recommendations, and covers four topics, including housing choices, housing preferences, tenancy skills, and support needs. Adapting existing evidence-based practices for individuals in state psychiatric hospitals may aid in successful discharge and community living and support nurses in their efforts for discharge. [

Authors: Kaliappen Narentheren
Published: April 2019

In today’s education system develop students with high level of competencies and capabilities are very challenging task for every instructor. Graduates are anticipated to possess a wide-ranging of competencies such as critical thinking, problem solving and cognitive skills to enter the job market. The world economic trend is changing swiftly creating more necessities towards the students to develop the ability to be expert, flexible and adaptable. That requires a revolution of teaching practices and learning techniques. Business strategy game (BSG) serves as a realistic representation of the actual practices in a virtual setting, and use it to cultivate managerial skills mainly in decision making. This paper explored the educational benefits of the game based approach in teaching and learning strategic management at School of Business Management, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). Approximately, 21 strategic management students participated in this re-search. Overall, the respondents provided a positive response about the benefit of the game based approach in teaching and learning process. In a nutshell, this study increases the understanding about the educational benefits of using BSG in teaching and learning strategic management for UUM undergraduates.
Du bien voir au bien dire, et vice versa
Authors: Roukhomovsky Bernard
Published: April 2019

Témoin d’une époque qui fut, au seuil de la modernité, celle d’une profonde « mutation du visible » (selon la formule de Philippe Hamou), le livre de La Bruyère est tout entier sous-tendu par le projet d’une éducation du regard. C’est à ce dessein central que répondent les options rhétoriques et stylistiques du moraliste : sa décision de s’inscrire dans la tradition des caractères, mais aussi, et concurremment, sa dette à l’égard du genre épigrammatique. Et ce rapport d’étroite intrication entre l’art du bien dire et celui du bien voir n’est pas à sens unique : si le dispositif textuel des Caractères procède du regard qui le requiert et le façonne, il est aussi, en retour, l’espace où ce regard s’essaie, s’ajuste, s’aiguise – en un mot, s’exerce.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) for Delineating Objective Measure of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Jayarathna Sampath , Jayawardana Yasith , Jaime Mark , Thapaliya Sashi
Published: April 2019

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that often impairs a child's normal development of the brain. According to CDC, it is estimated that 1 in 6 children in the US suffer from development disorders, and 1 in 68 children in the US suffer from ASD. This condition has a negative impact on a person's ability to hear, socialize, and communicate. Subjective measures often take more time, resources, and have false positives or false negatives. There is a need for efficient objective measures that can help in diagnosing this disease early as possible with less effort. EEG measures the electric signals of the brain via electrodes placed on various places on the scalp. These signals can be used to study complex neuropsychiatric issues. Studies have shown that EEG has the potential to be used as a biomarker for various neurological conditions including ASD. This chapter will outline the usage of EEG measurement for the classification of ASD using machine learning algorithms.

The purpose of this chapter is to foster the development of a healthy academic environment, protected from academic dishonesty, and one that creates favorable conditions for professional development and positive educational outcomes. This chapter deals with the main challenges facing Ukrainian universities in the area of academic integrity (AI). The results of a survey of domestic students' opinions via qualitative narratives regarding AI are presented. Successful cases of the implementation of higher education (HE) systems for ensuring AI in Ukrainian universities are considered. A prototype of AI principles to better ensure honesty and integrity are shown. Mechanisms for working with students to incentivize the principles of AI and the factors that can enable fruitful and ‘honest' communication between teachers and students are also highlighted.

Authors: Obonyo Carolyne Nekesa
Published: April 2019

The use of mobile technologies to enhance 21st century learning is increasing in K-12 schools and teacher education institutions. Thus, there is a need to effectively prepare preservice teachers to use mobile technologies in their future classrooms. This chapter explores the effective use of mobile technologies in teacher preparation in ways that are transferred to K-12 teaching and learning. It goes on to look at two major organizations: the university and partner school involved in the preparation of preservice teachers. Additionally, the purposes of incorporating information and communication technologies in teacher preparation as identified by Davis are explored to understand how mobile technologies align with these purposes. Common challenges of using mobile technologies in teacher preparation are also presented.
Contextualized MALL in Target and Non-Target Countries
Authors: Cohen Anat , Ezra Orit
Published: April 2019

Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) is known to be conducive to contextualized language learning. However, the literature lacks an understanding of context. Nor is there a quantitative evaluation tool. The chapter's dependent contextualized variables were the following: real-world context level (one's place), real-life context level (one's life), and device mobility (place diversity). The independent variables were target/non-target country (Taiwan/Israel) and language learning orientation (dedicated/generic). In the target country, the spoken language is the studied language. Dedicated/generic language learning orientation represents the existence/non-existence of pedagogy within activities. Fifty-three Chinese L2 students involved in 296 activities and 519 events were interviewed. Using device mobility and an evaluation index developed to measure real-world/real-life context levels, MALL was found more contextualized in Taiwan only in generic activities. The findings refine our understanding of the benefits of studying in the target country. The index can be used in future studies.
Distribution and Selection of Ornamental Fishes' Issues on a Koi Fish Pond Using Krill Algorithm to an Order Picking Model
Authors: Gomez Erwin Adán Martinez
Published: April 2019

This chapter presents a problem solved by social modeling, associated with the adequate choice of colors to issues and their distribution in a koi fish pond using a range of 64 colors to specify different features related to the principal attributes of an issue adequate to represent the symbolic capital of a society from Memory Alpha. An algorithm of study based on a krill herd is presented regarding the selection of 47 issues using data obtained from the diverse cultural patterns described in this repository, a bio-inspired algorithm, to solve a specific problem adapted from the modeled literature about societies. The set of the study was formed by 1087 societies, which allowed to examine individual characteristics without affecting the visualization in the proposed koi fish pond. Demonstrating that the matching of features such as social, linguistic, and cultural specify the correct selection of colors, this research tries to explain this innovative representation and location of a sample of societies on a koi fish pond.

The latter includes customizing the user interface, as well as the way the system retrieves and processes cases afterward. The resulting cases may be shown to the user in different ways, and/or the retrieved cases may be adapted. This chapter is about an intelligent model for decision making based on case-based reasoning to solve the existing problem in the planning of distribution in the supply chain between a distribution center and a chain of supermarkets. First, the authors mentioned the need for intelligent systems in the decision-making processes, where they are necessary due to the limitations associated with conventional human decision-making processes. Among them, human experience is very scarce, and humans get tired of the burden of physical or mental work. In addition, human beings forget the crucial details of a problem, and many of the times are inconsistent in their daily decisions.

Published: April 2019

The purpose of this chapter is to understand a multivariable optimization associated with the path of a group of vehicles integrated in an ecological community and determine the optimal route involve speed, storage, and travel resources. Time of charge for determining the cost benefit have partnered with a travel plan associated with the charge point in a smart city, which has as principal basis the orography restriction related with the energy consumed. Although this problem has been studied on several occasions, the literature failed to establish ubiquitous computing for interacting with the various values associated with the achievement of the group of vehicles and their cost-benefit of each member of the community, comparing their individual trips for the group and determining the quantity of energy required for each one. There are several factors that can influence in the achievement of a group trip. For this chapter, the authors propose to use bat algorithm, which has proven to be efficient for the convergence of several issues.
