Application of high-dimensional multi-objective differential evolutionary algorithm based on global ordering to heat supply pipe network resistance identification
Authors: Zhou E. , Yang Y. , Yu J. , Liu Z. , Xu W. , Xiang M.
Published: April 2024

The distribution of resistance coefficients of heat supply pipe networks is the key data guiding the hydraulic balance adjustment of heat networks. Since the heat supply pipe network is composed of many pipe segments and the resistance coefficient of each pipe segment is different during heat supply operation, the identification of the resistance coefficient of the heat supply pipe network is an optimization problem with multiple objective functions. In this paper, a high-dimensional multi-objective differential evolutionary algorithm based on global sorting is developed as a method to identify the resistance coefficients of the heat network and the multi-objective algorithm is applied to the resistance identification of the heat network, and the computational process of resistance identification is improved. The fuzzy mathematical method is applied to the process of resistance identification, and a set of optimal solution sets are generated through the identification of each pipe segment and the optimal solutions are selected from the optimal solution sets based on the fuzzy degree of subordination to solve the problem of determining the optimal solutions. The problem of determining the optimal solution is solved. The results show that compared with the single-objective algorithm, the high-dimensional multi-objective differential evolutionary algorithm based on global sorting produces a uniform and concentrated optimal solution set, and the optimal solution accuracy is higher.
Moral harassment: a portrait of northern brazil based on lawsuits
Authors: Medina Marcia , Amorim Wilson , Ruzon Michele , Sarsur Amyra
Published: April 2024

Purpose: To investigate moral harassment on northern Brazil through the lens of lawsuits.
Design/methodology: Statistical analyses on lawsuits from 2012 to 2018 issued at Labor Court, 11th Region, which includes states of Amazonas and Roraima. It also provided a qualitative discussion, based on semi-structured interviews with main actors (judges, prosecutors, and lawyers).
Findings: A representative volume of legal actions was found, signaling the presence of moral harassment in the region. There was a higher proportion of vertical harassment (management over employees), a large concentration in industry and banks, a predominance of men as harassers and great difficulty in proving the harassment.
Originality/value: This article addresses the topic of moral harassment from a lens that is still little explored, lawsuits, considering a geographic delimitation without many studies – the northern region of Brazil.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: The northern Brazil presents similar characteristics regarding moral harassment to those found in other regions of the country, reinforcing the understanding of a social phenomenon under the influence of the institutional environment.
Practical implications: The findings reinforce the need to debate and review how reporting channels about moral harassment are structured in the country, as it is a phenomenon that is difficult to delimit and prove but has a profound impact on the lives of its victims.

METACOGNITIVE STRATEGIES IN MEDIATING EFL ADULT LEARNERS’ SELF-REGULATED LANGUAGE LEARNING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Siregar Renol Aprico , Lengkanawati Nenden Sri , Damayanti Ika Lestari
Published: April 2024

Although many studies focus on enhancing resource assistance and the advancement of adult learners' knowledge and abilities, there is a paucity of studies on the theoretical views that define strategies for assisting adults in learning independently. To fill this gap, this study draws on previous research to elaborate on why metacognitive strategies are suitable for adults’ self-regulated learning (SRL), and how metacognitive strategies promote SRL. As this study employed a systematic review, a rigorous search scheme was implemented across multiple databases, resulting in the selection of relevant studies based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles were assessed for quality, and data extraction was performed to identify key characteristics of the studies. The synthesis of the existing literature underscores the suitability of metacognitive strategies in EFL adult learners' self-regulated learning. The findings reveal that incorporating metacognitive strategies helps cultivate SRL in EFL adult learners, owing to their cognitive maturity, pre-existing knowledge, and life experiences. In addition, the metacognitive strategy helps EFL adult learners enhance their awareness of cognitive processes, regulate learning behaviours, and optimize language learning outcomes. Regarding the role, metacognitive strategy is one of the key components of SRL. Some practical recommendations are made to support teachers in facilitating adults’ self-regulated language learning.

Authors: de Almeida Julliana Cunha
Published: April 2024

Objetivo: O estudo visa analisar se produtos aplicados no ácido hialurônico Biogelis Volume causam sua degradação, além de investigar se 1 minuto é suficiente para a transição do gel para o estado líquido. Objetivos secundários incluem identificar métodos de diluição da hialuronidase, avaliar o papel, vantagens e desvantagens do uso da enzima, e contribuir para o conhecimento científico sobre a degradação enzimática do ácido hialurônico (AH) em diferentes diluições. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo reológico do AH Biogel Volume exposto a diluições de hialuronidase, usando lidocaína sem vasoconstritor ou solução salina estéril. As amostras foram analisadas em triplicata com um reômetro rotacional para determinar o módulo de armazenamento (G’). Resultados: Todos os diluentes afetaram a degradação do AH em 1 minuto, com variação significativa apenas no módulo elástico (G’) entre os diluentes. Conclusões: A escolha do diluente pode impactar seletivamente o módulo elástico do gel, enquanto outras propriedades podem não ser afetadas. A diluição com lidocaína junto com o soro mostrou maior significância em relação à diluição apenas com o soro ou apenas com o anestésico.

Authors: Sujatt Julio Andrés
Published: April 2024

El artículo estudia el Plan de Salud para la provincia argentina de Chaco presentado en el año 2020. Se problematiza su papel en el marco de las políticas generales del gobierno provincial y su modelo de desarrollo. Este trabajo se basa en un análisis de documentos públicos, y el cuerpo de datos se complementó con fuentes periodísticas y audiovisuales de actos oficiales. El contexto se describe a través de fuentes estadísticas oficiales. Describimos los rasgos de la estructura social y su relación con los determinantes sociales de la salud en la región, y el papel que juega el gobierno provincial en ese escenario. Destacamos la trampa en la que caen las provincias periféricas bajo el actual sistema de atención médica descentralizada, dada su escasez de recursos para atender a una población empobrecida. Finalmente, consideramos que el Plan de Salud provincial ocupa el papel de lograr mejoras en la calidad de vida de la población en el marco de un Estado atravesado por contradicciones parciales, pero orientado a un modelo de desarrollo periférico que tiende a la reproducción de asimetrías.
Acciones e imágenes sobre la pobreza urbana en Buenos Aires y Seattle
Authors: Canevaro Santiago , Viotti Nicolás , Elwood Faustino Sarah
Published: April 2024

En el presente artículo analizamos la construcción relacional de la clase media en relación con la pobreza a partir de un trabajo comparativo entre Seattle y Buenos Aires durante el período de recuperación relativa de la crisis socioeconómica de la primera década del milenio. Con la teoría de la pobreza relacional como eje conceptual, entendemos que se reproducen o se desafían subjetividades de clase mediante interacciones que atraviesan o confrontan los límites entre grupos sociales. Y, también, que las relaciones con la pobreza pueden producir lecturas alternativas de la formación de la clase media en Estados Unidos y Argentina.
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner y la “década ganada”. Discurso presidencial y hegemonía: líder, pueblo y proyecto
Authors: Varesi Gastón Ángel
Published: April 2024

El artículo se propone analizar los discursos de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner sobre la “década ganada” como parte del proceso de construcción de hegemonía. Para ello, seleccionamos un corpus guiado por criterios temporales, tomando sus intervenciones públicas del año 2013, y también temático, focalizándonos en aquellos discursos donde hace un uso explícito de esta noción. Desde una mirada sociológica, sintetizamos diversos aspectos de la teoría gramsciana de la hegemonía, indagando acerca del proceso de dirección política, ideológica y cultural, observando el rol del líder, del proyecto y de la voluntad colectiva. Asimismo, recuperamos diversos aportes de Charaudeau sobre el discurso político, examinando la lógica simbólica y pragmática que adquiere, sus condiciones de veracidad y la imagen que el orador proyecta de sí mismo, al tiempo que vamos introduciendo distintas definiciones complementarias del concepto de populismo al análisis. Nos preguntamos: ¿cómo se construye la relación líder/pueblo en el discurso presidencial? ¿qué lectura plantea sobre el proyecto y su gobierno, y cómo se los inscribe en la historia nacional? ¿cuál es el balance de la década realizado? ¿cuáles son las dimensiones y escalas involucradas en el discurso de la “década ganada”? ¿qué continuidades y variaciones expresa dicho discurso en relación a la construcción originaria de la hegemonía kirchnerista?

Published: April 2024

Este artículo da cuenta del proceso de fabricación de un material conformado con plásticos reciclados, como lo es el polipropileno, y suelo de uso vial. Este material compuesto presenta dos ventajas superadoras para la sociedad y el medio ambiente con respecto a otro de diferente origen. En primer lugar, se considera la reutilización de residuos plásticos, extendiendo la vida útil de los mismos con una aplicación posterior a su deshecho. El segundo lugar, se piensa en el reemplazo de material de explotación no renovable como lo es la piedra partida utilizada en la construcción vial. El material diseñado pretende ser utilizado en municipios que posean vías de bajo volumen de tránsito donde es factible la materialización de mezclas asfálticas o estabilizados de material acordes a su aplicación. Partiendo de mezclas en caliente de polímeros residuales domiciliarios y suelos, se desarrollan piezas de tamaño tal que al ser trituradas dan lugar a un agregado de uso vial, el cual se encuentra en trámite de patentamiento. Con ese agregado se diseña un concreto asfáltico en frío que es sometido a una serie de análisis que se presentan en el artículo. Como conclusión se determinan parámetros físicos y mecánicos de dicha mezcla asfáltica que acotan el campo de aplicación del agregado artificial desarrollado para la finalidad citada.

Universidade e pesquisa
Authors: Rodrigo Lidia Maria
Published: April 2024

Entre as múltiplas funções educativas da universidade, ensino e pesquisa costumam merecer especial destaque. O ensino refere-se à disseminação dos produtos do conhecimento consolidado; a pesquisa consiste, em termos gerais, na busca e produção de novos conhecimentos. Esta última, em lugar de enfatizar o produto do conhecimento, como faz o ensino, enfatiza, sobretudo, os processos de sua produção. Compete à universidade propiciar ao estudante o acesso a essas duas formas de relação com o saber.

Authors: Schicchi Maria Cristina da Silva
Published: April 2024

A pesquisa apresenta e discute as condições atuais de edifícios e conjuntos urbanos históricos nos centros das cidades de Campinas e Santos sob dois enfoques: analise dos usos dados aos edifícios ao longo do tempo e das formas de gestão do patrimônio edificado, a luz das transformações urbanas ocorridas nos centros. Como resultado buscou‑se uma compreensão mais geral sobre quais fatores podem promover mudanças qualificadoras nessas áreas centrais. Foi possível demonstrar como os procedimentos de preservação foram se tornando parte dos processos de gestão urbana desses centros, a partir da analise das discussões dos conselhos de preservação, das intervenções urbanas e da leitura dos processos de tombamento de cada um dos edifícios. Buscou‑se ainda analisar a participação dos agentes envolvidos nas decisões e os impactos ou efeitos esperados das intervenções, para alguns aspectos, de forma comparativa, tendo em vista a discussão de novos parâmetros de preservação urbana.
Habitar o Plano Piloto: 50 anos - entre as prioridades definidas no projeto e aquelas valorizadas pela população
Authors: Ramos Tânia Beisl
Published: April 2024

Como refere Lúcio Costa, a superquadra é a “raiz” do Plano Piloto de Brasília. A agregação de dois pares de superquadras contíguas define uma unidade de vizinhança e delimita a escala do “bairro”. Embora essa denominação não faça parte do vocabulário local, ela define um perímetro onde estão localizados os equipamentos especializados da unidade de vizinhança. O convívio social e o espaço de acolhimento fazem parte da ordenação inventada por Lúcio Costa. A inspiração vem, inicialmente, da cidade colonial de Diamantina, passando ainda pelo estudo das tradições lusas que o arquiteto realizou pessoalmente em Portugal. Passados 50 anos da inauguração da capital, este estudo lança um olhar sobre as prioridades definidas por Lúcio Costa e aquelas efetivamente valorizadas por quem habita as “asas” do Plano Piloto.
Alienação via mobilidade
Authors: Kapp Silke
Published: April 2024

A mobilidade é um atributo da sociedade moderna que tem sido celebrado nos campos da arquitetura, do urbanismo e do planejamento urbano há um século. Este artigo examina o ideal da mobilidade à luz da possibilidade de uma autonomia coletiva dos habitantes urbanos na produção do espaço, sobretudo em escala local e microlocal. Para isso, são retomadas algumas discussões da segunda metade do século XX, tais como o estudo de Thompson sobre a transformação do tempo vivido em tempo abstrato, a crítica da mobilidade abstrata pelos situacionistas e a crítica dessa crítica por Guy Debord, Henri Lefebvre e outros. Retomar essas discussões permite compreender a mobilidade dialeticamente, isto é, como constitutiva, também, de uma forma de alienação.

Kennarar og starfsfólk skóla þurfa að ná til fjölbreytts hóps barna og styðja við nám, hegðun og líðan hvers og eins. Mikilvægt er að samskipti kennara og nemenda séu farsæl og þar skiptir bekkjarstjórnun miklu máli. Árangursrík bekkjarstjórnun eykur gæði kennslu og námsástundun og stuðlar auk þess að bættri líðan kennara og nemenda. Ef hún er ómarkviss getur það hins vegar valdið álagi og streitu, bæði fyrir nemendur og kennara. Þessi rannsókn fjallar um mat starfandi grunnskólakennara á námskeiði í gagnreyndum bekkjarstjórnunaraðferðum fyrir starfsfólk skóla, sem meðal annars voru sóttar í smiðju PMTO-foreldrafærni og SMT-skólafærni. Hagkvæmni og gagnsemi aðferðanna var metin; hvort það að takast markvisst á við að efla eigin bekkjarstjórnun og stuðning við félagsfærni nemenda nýttist starfandi grunnskólakennurum. Áhersla var lögð á að kanna sýn kennaranna á aðferðir sem þeir lærðu á námskeiðinu og nýttu svo á vettvangi með nemendum sínum, svo sem gagnsemi þeirra og hvort og hvaða aðferðir þeir sæju fyrir sér að nota áfram. Þátttakendur, alls ellefu talsins, voru starfandi grunnskólakennarar sem luku námskeiðinu og mátu afrakstur þess.

Aims

In this study, we investigated a cohort of unselected patients with various indications for an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM). Our main objectives were to determine the incidence of arrhythmic diagnoses, both anticipated and incidental in relation to the ICM indication, and to assess their clinical relevance.

Methods

We examined remote monitoring transmissions from patients with an ICM at four Italian sites to identify occurrences of cardiac arrhythmias. Concurrently, we collected data on medical actions taken in response to arrhythmic findings.

Results

The study included 119 patients, with a median follow-up period of 371 days. ICM indications were syncope/presyncope (46.2%), atrial fibrillation management (31.1%), and cryptogenic stroke (22.7%). In the atrial fibrillation management group, atrial fibrillation was the most common finding, with an incidence of 36% [95% confidence interval (CI) 22–55%] at 18 months. Rates of atrial fibrillation were not significantly different between patients with cryptogenic stroke and syncope/presyncope [17% (95% CI 7–40%) vs. 8% (95% CI 3–19%), P = 0.229].

For patients with cryptogenic stroke, the incidence of asystole and bradyarrhythmias at 18 months was 23% (95% CI 11–45%) and 42% (95% CI 24–65%), respectively, similar to estimates obtained for patients implanted for syncope/presyncope (P = 0.277 vs. P = 0.836).

Overall, 30 patients (25.2%) required medical intervention following ICM-detected arrhythmias, predominantly involving atrial fibrillation ablation (10.9%) and medication therapy changes (10.1%).

Conclusion

In a real-life population with heterogeneous insertion indications, approximately 25% of patients received ICM-guided medical interventions within a short timeframe, including treatments for incidental findings. Common incidental arrhythmic diagnoses were bradyarrhythmias in patients with cryptogenic stroke and atrial fibrillation in patients with unexplained syncope.
Barns delaktighet och aktörskap i mötet med socialtjänstens öppenvård
Authors:   , Markström Annica
Published: April 2024

Children have the right to participate in matters concerning them. The Swedish Child Welfare Services constitute an arena in which a significant portion of open care interventions for children and their families take place, and thus a context in which children’s participation should be realized. The overall aim of this licentiate thesis is to explore how child participation is constructed in interventions provided by Swedish Child Welfare Services. The study is based on social constructionist theory and includes semi structured interviews with 11 children aged 7-16, whom had experience of receiving open care interventions provided by Swedish Child Welfare Services over a period of time and focus group discussions with 14 family social workers who provide suchlike interventions. The data were analysed using Thematic Analysis. The first article, which has been published in a peer-review journal, is based on semi structured interviews with the children and focus group discussions with the family social workers. The article explores how child participation is constructed in interventions provided by Swedish Child Welfare Services and which elements are of importance to this process. The results suggest that child participation is a collaborative process in which both the child and the family social worker have an active role to play. Participation is done through a series of seemingly small, everyday actions by the child and the family social worker. By actively asking questions and allowing the child to practice participation and influence the process, the family social workers can, together with the child, work toward increased child participation in interventions. The second article explores children's actions of participation and how these can be understood in relation to situational constraints using the concept of agency. The article is based on the interviews with the children. The findings suggests that children's actions, as described by the children, are formed in relation to the context. Some actions of participation can be described as permissible and some, when children behave in a way that exceeds the boundaries permitted by their position as children, disturb the existing order. The results suggest there are situational constraints, such as limited range of options available to influence the intervention, limited access to apply for support and limited ways to find new solutions when the children are not satisfied with an intervention. The overall contribution of the study lies in the enhanced understanding of the collaborative process through which participation is done, as well as the increased knowledge of children’s actions of participation in a social work context.

The analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 Plus, with the HWDI as the organizational unit of analysis.
 
Results and Conclusion: The study found that HWDI rituals, including training sessions, "sharing" sessions, committee involvement, and religious activities, have a positive impact on the development of self-efficacy among women with disabilities. Family support and support from the HWDI were identified as crucial factors in enhancing self-efficacy. Additionally, positive messages, particularly those of a motivational and religious nature, were found to reinforce self-efficacy beliefs among the participants.
 
Implications of the Research: The findings of this study highlight the importance of implementing rituals and support systems tailored to the needs of women with disabilities to enhance their self-efficacy. These insights can inform the development of programs and interventions aimed at empowering this marginalized group and promoting their inclusion in various aspects of society.
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the impact of HWDI rituals on the self-efficacy of women with disabilities. It sheds light on the role of support systems and positive messaging in fostering self-belief and empowerment among this population, thereby offering valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in the field of disability rights and empowerment.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a great number of neologisms that summarize the unique experiences and challenges of the global health crisis. This article investigates the creation methods, communicative purposes, and social reflections of these new constructions.
 
Theoretical Framework: The connection between language, culture, and the COVID-19 pandemic is examined using an analytical approach based on a thorough literature review. The theoretical analysis in this descriptive qualitative study is based on structural semantics.
 
Methodology:  35 neologisms widely used in the media, social networks, and conversational communication in Albanian during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic were collected and analyzed according to their word formation properties and semantic content.
 
Findings: Our analysis shows that the urgency and universality of efforts to combat the pandemic have accelerated the rapid manifestation of new lexical units. These neologisms arise predominantly as full or partial direct borrowings, with English serving as the primary source language. Emergence processes include translation loans, borrowings, semantic loans, derivations, and mixed methods, reflecting the adaptability of the language in response to new challenges.
 
Research Practical and Social Implication: These neologisms often appear as internationalisms, reflecting their widespread adoption across linguistic and cultural boundaries. By elucidating the mechanisms of the formation and spread of neologisms, we gain valuable insights into the evolution of language in response to global crises.
 
Originality/Value: With this analysis, we aim to inform future research efforts and promote a nuanced understanding of the pandemic’s diverse effects on communication and society.
