Performance & Analysis of Fuzzy Logic Controller Based
Induction Motor Drive System Using Simulink
Authors: Gupta Meenu , Kamboj Reena , Dhiman Rinku
Published: December 2020

Variable speed drives are growing and varying. Drives expanse depend on progress in different part of science like power system, microelectronic, control methods and so on. In this paper, the motor drive system comprises a voltage source inverter-fed induction motor (VSIM): namely a three-phase voltage source inverter and the induction motor. The squirrel-cage induction motor voltage equations are based on an orthogonal d-q reference-rotating frame where the co-ordinates rotate with the controlled source frequency. The paper presents a novel fuzzy logic controller for high performance induction motor drive system. The inputs to the fuzzy logic controller are the linguistic variables of speed error and change of speed error, while the output is change in switching control frequency of the voltage source inverter. In this paper a comparison between fuzzy logic controller and traditional PI controllers are presented. The results validate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy logic controller for high performance of induction motor drive. Simulink software that comes along with MATLAB was used to simulate the proposed model.

Published: December 2020

Semantic web database is an RDF database. Tremendous increase can be seen in semantic web data, as real life applications of semantic web are using this data. Efficient management of this data at a larger scale, and efficient query performance are the two major concerns. This work aims at analyzing query performance issues in terms of execution time and scalability using data partitioning techniques. An experiment is devised to show effect of data partitioning technique on query performance. It demonstrates the query performance analysis for partitioning techniques applied. Vertical partitioning, hybrid partitioning and property table was used to store the RDF data and query execution time is analyzed. The experiment was carried out on a very small dummy data and now it will be scaled up using Barton library catalogue.

Published: December 2020

Ever since the online retailing format has emerged in India, consumers now have wider options available for them to buy a product at a discounted price and notably, as online stores in India are following the product discounting as one of the key drivers for consumer acquisition, consumers’ perspective towards discount at brick-and-mortar store has changed.This change in consumers’ perspective has put the majority of brick-and-mortar retailers in India into a quandary and they are losing out their market share slowly to online retailers. In this research which is based on recommendations of empirical research previously carried out on the impact of changes in retailer and consumer perspective towards discount post emergence of online stores in India, we have carried out multiple experiments on multiple long-term discounting frameworks to investigate and recommend brick-and-mortar retailers on ideal(a) frameworks, (b) duration, (c) types, (d) assortment coverage, and (e) advertising techniques for long-term discounting strategies to enable brick-and-mortar retailers to design appropriate sales promotions to gain a competitive advantage over online retailing on the discount component.

Authors: Ganesh H.R. , Aithal P. S. , Kirubadevi P.
Published: December 2020

Since the time online retailing format started getting consumer acceptance in India, consumers now have wider options available for them to buy a product at a discounted price and notably, as online stores in India are following the product discounting as one of the key drivers for consumer acquisition, consumers’ perspective towards discount at Brick-and-mortar store has changed. This change in consumers’ perspective has put the majority of Brick-and-mortar retailers in India into a quandary and they are losing out their market share slowly to online retailers. From the existing literature we have found many discounting frameworks suggested by researchers, but they are all isolated for specific contexts and leave it to retailers to create their own discounting frameworks. In this work, we have attempted to create an integrated discounting framework for Indian brickand-mortar retailers by carrying out multiple experiments with different manipulations and under different contexts along with taking clues from past research findings, insights and suggestions along with testing validity and reliability of the proposed framework in the field.
Application of IoT in the Development of Intelligent Education System – A Thematic Literature Review
Authors: chandra Vinaya , K. Krishna Prasad
Published: December 2020

Smart Education System makes efficient use of IT technology that takes advantage of IoT and cloud computing technologies to track and act on multiple educational system components. To maximize the battery life of IoT nodes, the systems need to provide access to nodes and gateways by that introduce an architecture that allows not only the latest wireless and wired technologies to provide a fair communication range but also reduced energy usage. Like other sectors integrating intelligent cultures, the education sector is no exception to this. The IoT confirms its important role in the field of Information and Communication Technology and social growth. More devices are linked in education; campus leaders will be able to derive even more value from the continuous stream of data and knowledge, helping them transition from a transactional relationship to an iterative process with students, teachers, administrators, and providers. A small, person-centered environment helps smart campuses to complement and fit with the overall smart environment strategy, allowing educational institutions to achieve full productivity, promote sustainability, and enhance their constituents' everyday conditions. This analysis of the literature is generated using the secondary data obtained by reviewing a good number of papers published in journals and online sources. The study aims to explain IoT's use in the growth of the Smart Education System. The limitation of the study is that it deals only with the subject matter's application components which leave physical components.
Mulher negra de pele clara ou mulher branca de pele escura? Tensionamentos, negociações e disputas de verdades na constituição de uma youtuber negra
Authors: Dias de Oliveira Pâmella Rochelle Rochanne , Vieira da Silva Francisco
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar os tensionamentos e as disputas de verdade que perpassam o processo de constituição das youtubers negras, tendo como materialidade selecionada o vídeo “Sobre ser negra”, do canal Rayza Nicácio, que será analisado a partir da perspectiva teórica-metodológica da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, mais precisamente dos postulados foucaultianos. Para tanto, procuramos realizar uma articulação entre os estudos foucaultianos e os estudos étnicos-raciais, posicionando o campo da negritude na grade de inteligibilidade da governamentalidade, com o intuito maior de perceber as formas de governo de si e os modos de subjetivação da mulher negra contemporânea, verificando a produção e mobilização dos discursos que a atravessam no âmbito do YouTube. O que acaba por evidenciar um recorrente racismo que incide sobre a mulher negra e seu corpo, através de uma tentativa de embranquecê-lo ao máximo possível, negando e, por vezes, invisibilizando os principais aspectos constituintes da negritude, questões que ocorrem por meio e em meio a complexas relações de saber-poder.
A memória e a existência do ecossistema linguístico
Authors: Do Couto Elza Kioko Nakayama Nenoki , Couto Hildo Honório do
Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar a importância da memória para a existência do ecossistema linguístico, que pode também ser olhado como comunidade (de língua e de fala). A questão da memória é um componente importante na antropologia do imaginário; o ecossistema linguístico é um componente central na ecolinguística. Dando como exemplos o uso de apelidos bem como uma pequena narrativa, em pequenas comunidades do interior, o artigo mostra que alguns componentes da memória podem desaparecer, mas a comunidade como um todo permanece, apenas alterada, o que mostra que a língua está sempre em evolução.

A variação nas formas de tratamento da segunda pessoa do discurso dá margem a várias discussões (ainda) hoje. Com o conhecimento das bases teóricas que fundamentam a visão da ecologia da interação comunicativa (COUTO, 2014), este trabalho discute – sob a perspectiva do ecossistema social da língua – estratégias argumentativas e interacionais utilizadas por profissionais do Direito para justificar o uso de formas de tratamento em uma sentença judicial disponibilizada em sítios da internet e, em outro caso, durante uma sessão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). Com base no arcabouço teórico proposto por Couto et al. (2016), a partir de uma perspectiva multimetodológica, embasada na Linguística Ecossistêmica Crítica (LEC), nas perspectivas das teorias da Sociolinguística Interacional, com autores como Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2006), Irvine (1978) Grácio (2010), Blommaert (2014), Ochs (1979), Levinson (1992), que envolvem conceitos sobre argumentação e da Análise da Conversação, o corpus foi analisado especificamente na parte recortada exposta em alguns sites de notícias – como Exame, Terra e Época – e plataformas de compartilhamento de conteúdos digitais – como Instagram e Twitter. A orientação metodológica é qualitativa, documental e bibliográfica, com coleta de dados de domínio público (meio virtual). A análise do corpus contempla resultados embasados em conceitos da área como diversidade, (des)harmonia, adaptação na linguagem, comunhão e sofrimento social – este último causado, principalmente, pela repercussão das críticas no meio virtual.

Geovani Martins e a “Dialética da Marginalidade”: uma análise dos contos “Rolézim” e “Espiral”
Authors: Coelho Lisiani , Sparemberger Alfeu
Published: December 2020

O presente estudo tem por objetivo a análise dos contos “Rolézim” e “Espiral”, de Geovani Martins, publicados em seu livro de estreia, O sol na cabeça (2018), à luz da teoria da “dialética da marginalidade” desenvolvida pelo crítico e professor universitário João Cézar de Castro Rocha. Em diálogo com o ensaio “Dialética da malandragem” (1970), de Antonio Candido, a “dialética da marginalidade” propõe a “substituição” da conciliação entre indivíduos de classes sociais diferentes como medida de evitação do conflito inerente ao ensaio de Candido em nome do confronto, o que resulta na exploração e exposição metódica da violência, que passa a permear as referidas relações ao invés de seu ocultamento. Os contos apresentados por Geovani Martins modulam, de diferentes formas, os dilemas da desigualdade social brasileira, atravessada pela violência urbana contemporânea, assumindo e confirmando, com voz própria e lugar enunciativo conflitante, os impasses de uma “guerra simbólica” travada entre uma interpretação apologética e outra crítica da cultura brasileira atual. Este artigo produz, em adição, uma breve reflexão sobre o espaço de fala das camadas excluídas, bem como a visibilidade (ou falta dela) que a crítica literária e universitária oferecem a estes produtores de cultura nos dias atuais, finalizando com uma discussão sobre o possível status da literatura marginal nos próximos anos.
A margem é onde tudo começa e onde tudo acaba . A. Dasilva O. fala ao país pela Rádio Caos
Authors: Guerra Paula
Published: December 2020

Em meados dos anos 1980, o Porto começou a abrir-se à mudança cultural, musical e estética anunciada pelo (pós)-modernismo. A resistência - e a procura do novo – também começou a fazer-se sentir através de programas de rádio, de fanzines, de concertos e de boletins. Importante era o lema “pelo direito à diferença”[1]. Nestas movimentações, para além de alguns músicos, destacavam-se certos autores/editores. António da Silva Oliveira (A. DASILVA O., 1958) era uma figura central. Publicava, coadjuvava a publicar e propulsionava projetos dos mais diversos domínios da intervenção cultural. Através da trajetória “maldita”, underground de A. Dasilva O., traçaremos um retrato da sociedade portuense na sua transição para a contemporaneidade onde as artes, as músicas e suas subversões desempenha[ra]m um papel central.[1] Expressão eternizada aos microfones da rádio por António Sérgio no programa de rádio “Som da Frente” em 1982.
Assessment of Menopausal Symptom Using Modified Menopause Rating Scale among Rural Women of Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh, a Central India Region
Authors: Armo Meena , Sainik Siddhi
Published: December 2020

Background

Menopause is a natural process that results in atresia of almost all oocytes in ovaries, causing an increase in follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels and a decrease in estrogen levels. Menopausal symptoms impact physical, psychological, vasomotor, and sexual health-related quality of life among women.

Aim and objective

The study was planned with the aim to assess the commonly reported menopausal symptoms among rural women of Central India, Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, using the menopause rating scale (MRS).

Materials and methods

An observational cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Memorial Medical College Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, for a period of 6 months. In all, 199 patients who had attained menopause were analyzed. Menopausal symptoms were assessed using modified MRS). Quantitative data were presented as frequencies and percentages by using SPSS version 21.

Results

Two hundred Questionnaires were distributed among the females who attended gynecology OPD and IPD and 199 gave consent to participate in the study; the response rate was 99.5%. The mean age at menopause was 45.35 ± 4.42 years. In all, 100% of women reported having experience of more than five menopausal symptoms. The prevalence of symptoms in urogenital—sexual was 76.88%, somatic 75.62%, and psychological 73.33%.

Conclusion

Menopause-related symptoms are highly prevalent among middle-aged women in rural areas of Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh; this signifies the urgent need for community-based screening for such condition. Physical symptoms (joint and muscle problems) are the most commonly reported one. Healthcare providers have to be sensitized to special health needs of these rural middle-aged menopausal women.

Pendidikan merupakan kebutuhan dan hak dasar manusia. Apapun latar belakang keluarga, keturunan, dan kemampuan ekonominya. Setiap manusia tidak boleh dilarang untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak dan berkualitas. Sesuai yang tertulis di UU No. 20 tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional (Sisdiknas) Bab 4 pasal 5 menyebutkan bahwa, “Setiap warga negara mempunyai hak yang sama untuk memperoleh pendidikan yang bermutu”. Komunikasi yang baik adalah modal penting bagi proses pembelajaran. Menghadapi situasi dan kondisi saat ini, semua negara harus menghadapi pendemi Covid 19. Yang mengakibatkan semua negara   harus  melindungi warganegaranya salah satunya anak-anak. Pemerinntah melarang kegiatan pembelajaran tatap muka langsung di kelas. Agar kegiatan pembelajaran tetap bisa berlangsung maka digunakan media dalam jaring (daring). Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam pengembangan adalah metode campuran (Mixed Method Research) yaitu, dengan menggabungkan antara jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan kuantitatif. Seluruh siswa-siswi yang menjadi koresponden merasakan lebih nyaman pembelajaran secara langsung (tatap muka) karena menurut mereka penjelasan yang diberikan guru akan lebih masuk ketika dijelaskan langsung dan apabila secara langsung kita dapat langsung bertanya apa yang tidak kita paham. Dari wawancara koresponden dapat ditarik sebuah kesimpulan bahwa siswa senang belajar menggunakan media daring, karena berbeda, pengalaman baru dan bisa bermain handphone saat belajar. Namun mereka juga mengalami kesulitan karena sulit bertanya dengan guru dan kesulitan menggakses situs pembelajaran di internet. Dari kelebihan dan kekurangan belajar menggunakan media daring, siswa tetap memiilih pembelajaran secara langsung (tatap muka) sebagai sarana terbaik untuk belajar. Berdasarkan hasil data penelitian di atas dapat ditarik simpulan bahwa, pembelajaran jarak jauh menggunakan media daring di SMPIT Al-Islah Cibinong dapat berjalan cukup baik walaupun tetap mengalami kesulitan atau kendala
RESPON KONSELI DALAM BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING
Authors: Nurodin
Published: December 2020

Respon merupakan perwujudan dari adanya informasi dalam komunikasi yang disampaikan oleh komunikator (konselor) kepada komunikan (konseli). Komunikasi yang efektif biasanya ditandai dengan adanya respon positif dari komunikan (konseli), baik secara lisan (verbal) maupun bahasa tubuh (non verbal). Dalam pemberian layanan bimbingan konseling, sudah barang tentu adanya komunikasi yang berkesinambungan antara konselor dan konseli dalam rangka untuk mencapai keberhasilan dari layanan bimbingan konseling. Adapun permasalahan yang timbul dalam proses layanan bimbingan konseling, konseli tidak dapat memahami mencerna informasi yang disampaikan oleh konselor. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan adanya kesalahpahaman dalam interpretasi makna informasi yang disampaikan oleh konselor. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini ingin mengetahui perhatian, pemahaman, dan sikap konseli terhadap komunikasi konselor dalam pemberian layanan bimbingan konseling di SMP Tunas Unggul. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif  yaitu pendekatan mendapatkan data otentik dengan cara langsung berdialog atau wawancara dengan konselor secara langsung. Sedangkan dalam menganalisis data menggunakan pendekatan logika. Inti keberhasilan dari respon konseli terhadap komunikasi konselor dalam pemberian layanan bimbingan konseling diketahui bahwa perhatian konseli terhadap komunikasi konselor dapat ditunjukan pada anggukan kepala, tatapan mata, dan menerima informasi yang disampaikan oleh konselor pada proses layanan bimbingan konseling. Dengan demikian respon konseli terhadap komunikasi konselor dapat diketahaui bahwa konseli merespon cukup baik terhadap komunikasi konselor dalam proses bimbingan konseling. Pemahaman konseli terhadap komunikasi konselor dapat tergambar pada sanggahan konseli saat proses bimbingan konseling, pemahaman makna informasi yang siampaikan konselor, interpretasi bahasa lisan (verbal) dan bahasa tubuh (non verbal) pada diri konselor sehingga konseli dapat menerima makna pesan yang disampaikan tanpa adanya kesalahpahaman diantara keduanya. Sedangkan sikap konseli pada komunikasi konselor tergolong cukup baik dengan dibuktikan adanya penerimaan dari sikap konseli yang merasa nyaman dan leluasa dalam proses bimbingan konseling berlangsung baik secara verbal maupun non verbal. Dari data di atas, menunjukan bahwa respon konseli terhadap komunikasi konselor dalam pemberian layanan bimbingan konseling di SMP Tunas Unggul tergamabar dari perhatian, pemahaman serta sikap penerimaan dalam segala bentuk informasi dapat diterima konseli dengan baik tanpa adanya kesalahpahaman interpretasi makna informasi
PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER SECARA KOMPREHENSIF; SEBUAH KENISCAYAAN
Authors: Fatimah
Published: December 2020

The revolution in information, communication and transportation technology has made this world without borders. Globalization provides extraordinary opportunities and facilities for anyone who is willing and able to take advantage of them. However, globalization does not only have positive but also negative impacts. Competition, integration and collaboration are the positive impacts of globalization. But on the other hand, the birth of the instant generation (the present generation, now, can immediately enjoy desires without a process of struggle and hard work), moral decadence, consumerism and even permissiveness are some of the negative impacts of globalization (Jamal Maruf Asmani, 20212). Globalization has penetrated all corners of the world even though remote areas, into homes, hit moral and religious defenses, no matter how hard they are maintained. Television, internet, newspapers, cellphones are information and communication media that run rapidly, cross the boundaries of time and space, roll up traditional barriers that have been held tightly, and morality becomes loose. Things that were once considered taboo are now becoming mediocre. How to dress, interact with the opposite sex, enjoy entertainment in special places have become a trend in the modern world that is difficult to overcome, many people are lulled by fulfilling all their desires (Jamal Maruf Asmani, 20212). The character of the nation's children has changed to become fragile, easy to hit by the waves, fall into a tiring cultural trend and do not think about the consequences. Moral principles, national culture and struggle are weakened or even lost from their characteristics. Social phenomena that have occurred lately are evidence that our students are in a period of confusion and confusion about the direction of life. Data and facts from various survey agencies and relevant official government agencies have shown alarming evidence of student behavior deviations. Moving on from this reality, it appears that moral decadence among teenagers has become a dangerous mass phenomenon. Many factors cause this to happen, including the inclusion of minimal religious values ​​in both the family and school environment and the "uswah" crisis (exemplary) from parents or teachers. Meanwhile, at the same time, permissive (all-permissible) and hedonistic (glorifying worldly pleasures) culture engulf the younger generation from all sides of life. If we look at the Hadith of Rasulullah SAW, the answer to all these deviations is a moral crisis (Islamic character). Prophet SAW. said: "Surely I was sent by Allah to perfect morals". (HR. Ahmad). If someone believes and does good deeds and has good morals, then he is safe in this world and the hereafter. Because, he is good at maintaining his relationship with Allah SWT through worship (hablum minallah) and is also able to harmonize relationships with fellow humans and the natural surroundings (hablum minan nas and hablum minal 'alam)

Abstract. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic compounds in the
atmosphere and have adverse effects on public health, especially through the
inhalation of particulate matter (PM). At present, there is limited
understanding of the size distribution of particulate-bound PAHs and their health
risks on a continental scale. In this study, we carried out a PM
campaign from October 2012 to September 2013 at 12 sampling sites simultaneously,
including urban, suburban and remote sites in different regions of China.
Size-segregated PAHs and typical tracers of coal combustion (picene), biomass
burning (levoglucosan) and vehicle exhaust (hopanes) were measured. The annual averages of the 24 total measured PAHs (∑24PAHs) and benzo[a]pyrene
(BaP) carcinogenic equivalent concentration (BaPeq) ranged from 7.56 to
205 ng/m3 with a mean of 53.5 ng/m3 and from 0.21 to 22.2 ng/m3 with a mean of 5.02 ng/m3, respectively. At all the sites,
∑24PAHs and BaPeq were dominant in the ultrafine particles
with aerodynamic diameter < 1.1 µm, followed by those in the
size ranges of 1.1–3.3 µm and > 3.3 µm. Compared
with southern China, northern China witnessed much higher ∑24PAHs (87.36 vs. 17.56 ng/m3), BaPeq (8.48 vs. 1.34 ng/m3) and PAHs' inhalation cancer risk
(7.4 × 10−4 vs. 1.2 × 10−4). Nationwide increases
in both PAH levels and inhalation cancer risk occurred in winter. The
unfavorable meteorological conditions and enhanced emissions of coal
combustion and biomass burning together led to severe PAHs' pollution and
high cancer risk in the atmosphere of northern China, especially during
winter. Coal combustion is the major source of BaPeq in all size
particles at most sampling sites. Our results suggested that the reduction
of coal and biofuel consumption in the residential sector could be crucial
and effective in lowering PAH concentrations and their inhalation cancer risk in
China.
Multi-decadal changes in structural complexity following mass coral mortality on a Caribbean reef
Authors: Roff George , Joseph Jennifer , Mumby Peter J.
Published: December 2020

Abstract. In recent decades, extensive mortality of reef-building corals
throughout the Caribbean region has led to the erosion of reef frameworks and
declines in biodiversity. Using field observations, structural models, and
high-precision U–Th dating methods, we quantify changes in structural
complexity in the major framework-building coral Orbicella annularis over a 20-year period at
Long Caye (Belize). Despite extensive mortality following the mass coral
bleaching event of 1998, the structural complexity of frameworks remained
largely unchanged between 1998 (rugosity index, R, of 2.35±0.1) and
2018 (R of 2.29±0.1). Colony-scale structural complexity was maintained,
as the rapid growth of surviving ramets (0.69±0.1 cm yr−1)
offset the slower bioerosion of dead ramets (-0.11±0.16 cm yr−1). Despite the apparent stability of the structural complexity at
colony scales, bioerosion of individual dead ramets over 2 decades led to
declines in microhabitat complexity, with an overall reduction in the depth
of microhabitats within frameworks. Altered microhabitat complexity appears
to have negative effects on cryptic fauna, with the grazing urchin
Echinometra viridis declining from 1.5±0.4 individuals m−2 in 1998 to 0.02± individuals m−2 in 2018. Changes in microhabitat complexity have the potential to
alter ecological interactions that can impact recovery dynamics on coral
reefs in ways that are undetectable using traditional rugosity metrics of
structural complexity.
The youngest occurrence of embolomeres (Tetrapoda: Anthracosauria) from the Sunjiagou Formation (Lopingian, Permian) of North China
Authors: Chen Jianye , Liu Jun
Published: December 2020

Abstract. Embolomeri were semiaquatic predators prevalent in the Carboniferous, with
only two species from the early Permian (Cisuralian). A new embolomere,
Seroherpeton yangquanensis gen. et sp. nov. (Zoobank Registration number:
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:790BEB94-C2CC-4EA4-BE96-2A1BC4AED748, registration: 23 November 2020), is named based on a partial right upper jaw and palate
from the Sunjiagou Formation of Yangquan, Shanxi, China, and is late
Wuchiapingian (late Permian) in age. It is the youngest embolomere known to
date and the only embolomere reported from North China Block. Its
phylogenetic position within Embolomeri is confirmed by the strongly
developed descending flange on the quadrate ramus of the pterygoid. The new
taxon is unique among embolomeres by features like a partial coverage of a
denticle shagreens on the pterygoid; presence of a cylindrical shaft on the
pterygoid, and two pairs of very large ectopterygoid tusks. Phylogenetic
analysis shows Seroherpeton as being the sister group of a clade consisting of
Proterogyrinus, Archeria, and Pholiderpeton. We hypothesize that the dispersal and decline of the embolomeres
from Carboniferous to late Permian (Lopingian) is related to the climate
changes, especially aridification, of the paleotropical regions.
The winter stratification phenomenon and its consequences in the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea
Authors: Liblik Taavi , Väli Germo , Lips Inga , Lilover Madis-Jaak , Kikas Villu , Laanemets Jaan
Published: December 2020

Abstract. Stratification plays an essential role in the marine
ecosystem, with a shallow mixed layer being one of the preconditions for
enhanced primary production in the ocean. In the Baltic Sea, the general
understanding is that the upper mixed layer (UML) is well below the euphotic
zone in winter. In this study, we demonstrate that wintertime shallow
stratification is common in the Gulf of Finland and it forms at a depth
comparable to the euphotic zone in January–February. The onset
of restratification is likely associated with the annual cycle of westerly
winds, which ease off in late January–early February. Stratification is
first invoked along the northern coast by the westward advection of riverine
water forced by easterly winds and is expanded to the south when the
prevailing wind direction changes from an easterly to a westerly direction.
Haline stratification emerges approximately 1 month later in the southern
part of the gulf. Winter restratification can occur in the entire gulf and
also in the absence of ice; thus, it is a regular seasonal feature in the
area. Interannual variations in the wintertime UML correspond with
variations in the North Atlantic Oscillation. Chlorophyll a concentrations in
winter can be comparable to mid-summer; the limiting factor for
phytoplankton bloom in winter is likely insufficient solar radiation.
A corpus-based study on deontic modality in Competition Law: Insights from the English-Greek language pair
Authors: Kozobolis Stavros
Published: December 2020

This study investigates deontic modality, the grammatical category through which legal texts express mainly obligation and permission, in an English-Greek bilingual corpus composed of legislative texts related to European Union (EU) Competition Law. More specifically, the study is based on Biel’s discussion on deontic modality, i.e. deontic obligation and deontic permission (Biel 2014: 158). The analysis of the data is mainly quantitative, while a small-scale qualitative analysis is also carried out when necessary. The results of the study are compared with the specific guidelines proposed by the EU Institutions for English and Greek, i.e. the Joint Practical Guide of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission for persons involved in the drafting of European Union legislation (2015), the English Style Guide: A handbook for authors and translators in the European Commission for English (2018) and the Greek Style Guide: A handbook for authors and translators in the European Commission for Greek (n.d.), as well as with those of earlier studies on legislative texts.
La jurilingüística como marco de la traducción jurídica: géneros, corpus y formación
Authors: Moreno Rivero Javier , Jiménez-Salcedo Juan
Published: December 2020

En este artículo analizamos las tendencias emergentes en los estudios sobre jurilingüística en relación con la práctica y la investigación de la traducción jurídica. Desde que se empleara por primera vez el término jurilingüística hace casi cuarenta años, este ha servido como paraguas para analizar las relaciones entre lengua y derecho. Aunque en un principio la investigación en este campo se centró en el discurso jurídico y la terminología, la globalización de las relaciones jurídicas y los cambios sociales han dado lugar a una ampliación de sus límites interdisciplinares, entre los que se incluyen la lingüística forense, la pragmática, la antropología o la sociología, entre otros (Jiménez-Salcedo y Moreno-Rivero 2017). En traductología, la jurilingüística ha adoptado un nuevo significado, alejado de la perspectiva puramente microlingüística, por el que se redefine la traducción en entornos jurídicos como una práctica situada (Monzó-Nebot y Moreno-Rivero 2020). En el marco de la jurilingüística, este artículo expone tres ejes principales de la traducción jurídica actual: en primer lugar, se presentan las aplicaciones actuales de la jurilingüística al estudio de géneros textuales y su traducción; seguidamente, se establecen las relaciones entre la lingüística de corpus y la traducción jurídica; por último, se propone una serie de estudios sobre metodología de la formación en el ámbito de la traducción jurídica.
Apuntes para una lectura de 'La condición humana'
Authors: Sirczuk Matías
Published: December 2020

La afinidad entre Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) y Claude Lefort (1924-2010) puede ser rastreada a través de diversos ejes: la cercanía y la distancia en la interpretación que ambos hacen del totalitarismo, la indagación en torno al problema de la igualdad en la modernidad, la interrogación sobre el estatuto de los derechos humanos o el intento renovado por ambos por pensar los acontecimientos sin barandillas. En este artículo me propongo abordar estos ejes de manera tangencial: rastreando la manera en la que Lefort lee La condición humana, intentaré identificar las razones que lo llevan a considerar que —a pesar de entender que Arendt es, sino la mejor, una de las más afines compañeras en la empresa de “restaurar la filosofía política”— su obra ofrece a la vez un punto de partida y un límite para repensar lo político.
The Importance of Muscle and Nerve Biopsies in the Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Diseases
Authors: Diniz Gülden
Published: December 2020

Evaluation of muscle and nerve biopsy samples is an important diagnostic tool in patients with neuromuscular disease. It can be thought that the great developments in the field of medicine in recent years have reduced the importance of these investigations. However, histopathological examination narrows the genetic diseases panel to be applied in differential diagnosis by reducing possible diagnostic options, especially in the first approach. It also provides information about the severity of the disease that cannot be distinguished by genetic examination in the most frequently seen X-linked dystrophinopathies. It distinguishes inflammatory, metabolic, and mitochondrial diseases that can be confused with hereditary myopathies clinically. In some cases, the differential diagnosis approach is only made with repeated biopsy samples. As a result of the change in the concept of inflammatory neuropathy in nerve biopsies, evaluation of nerve biopsy is very important in the diagnosis of inflammatory neuropathy and in addition to grading myelin loss or axonal degeneration. In this review, it is aimed to emphasize with case examples the conditions where muscle and nerve biopsies are very important.

Published: December 2020

Oral teratoma is a rare congenital tumor that occurs almost exclusively in infants, and usually in newborns. The incidence of live births ranges from 1: 35.000 to 1: 200.000. There is a female dominance ratio of 6: 1. Teratomas are rare in the head and neck region and represent less than 5% of all cases. In this article, a case referred to our clinic in the second trimester of pregnancy and ultrasonographically diagnosed as teratoma is presented.

Our study aimed to verify whether the manipulation of task constraints has different effects according to age group. Another objective was to verify the physiological and physical responses in the different formats of small-sided games (SSG). Each team in the SSGs was composed of 4 players (4x4). The participants in the research are young football players U-12 (n=8) and U-15 (n=8), affiliated with a club certified as a training entity, and competed in the regional football championship of 7 and 9 players and the national championship of Portugal, respectively. The internal and external load data were collected in 5 formats of SSGs with three field size and in 2 used goalkeepers. We used the WIMU PROTM inertial device for data collection. The registration of the internal charge, using heart rate (HR), was performed with the use by the players of Garmin bands, which send the data to WIMU PROTM devices, through of Ant+ technology. The variance analysis (ANOVA) was used to verify the differences between SSGs and the effect size was determined by calculating partial eta-square). Comparisons between the two age groups were evaluated using standardized differences with combined variance (Cohen’s d). The results show that the manipulation of the playing areas and the use of goalkeepers promoted different effects in the two age groups in terms of distance, explosive distance, accelerations/decelerations and maximum sprint. As for the comparison between SSGs we found differences in the level of external load (distance, accelerations/decelerations and maximum sprint). At the level of internal load, the effects were more evident with field areas above 100m2. We can conclude that the manipulation of the task conditions, playing area and goalkeeper, promote different physical and physiological responses, and the coach should consider this fact, as well as the effects promoted in the age groups.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has not been used to assess the principal component (PC) of players´ external training loads (TL) in futsal. In addition, no previous study has analyzed the PC of players´ external TL depending on the half of the match in futsal. Thus, this study aimed to assess the PC of players´ external TL considering an entire official futsal match distinguishing by halves (1st and 2nd halves). Two teams of twelve amateur futsal players (Spanish 3rd division) participated in the final match of the futsal cup and external TL was quantified using eight antennas ultra-wideband technology. Through PCA statistical analysis, 10 variables formed the 10 PC. Specifically, three PC for the entire match, four for the 1st half, and three for the 2nd half were extracted. Considering the match as a whole, three PC explained the players´ external TL formed by eight variables: distance covered (m/min), distance covered at high speed running (m/min), distance covered at explosive speed (m/min), total accelerations (n/min), total decelerations between 2-1 m/s/s (n/min), distance covered at 24-50 km/h (m/min), total impacts between 8-100g (n/min) and Jumps performed (n/min). The PC variables differed between halves: a) in the 1st half 74.5% was explained by four PC composed of 8 variables in total, and b) in the 2nd half 67.6% was explained by three PC. The results suggest that the use of only one PC could potentially lead to an underestimation of the external TL demands in futsal matches. It seems that a combination of 3-4 PC from a total of 8 to 10 variables are required to explain senior amateur futsal official games. In addition, the match half should be considered to assess the external TL in team sports.
Gastric Physaloptera Infection in 27 Dogs (1997–2019)
Authors: Soderman Leah , Harkin Kenneth R.
Published: December 2020

Infection with the stomach worm Physaloptera spp. in dogs can cause chronic vomiting, although the diagnosis is often difficult owing to a low worm burden, single-sex infections, a failure to produce ova, or ova that are of greater density than solutions routinely used for qualitative fecal flotation. A retrospective evaluation was performed of 27 dogs that had gastric Physaloptera spp. infection confirmed endoscopically. In 23 of 27 dogs (85.2%), chronic vomiting was the chief complaint, and Physaloptera was an incidental finding in 3 dogs with esophageal or gastric foreign bodies. The worm burden was low (1–3 worms) in 21 dogs (77.8%), but 2 dogs were infected with large numbers (>50 worms). Prior therapy with routine doses of anthelmintics was ineffective in eight dogs prior to endoscopy. A higher dose and longer duration of fenbendazole in combination with pyrantel pamoate is recommended for treatment of suspected or confirmed infections. Reinfection is common in some dogs and should not be viewed as treatment failure.
Pandemia e infodemia nas mídias: análise da desordem informacional no Twitter
Authors: Silva Pietra Vaz Diógenes da
Published: December 2020

Introdução: Este artigo analisa como se desenvolve a infodemia nas mídias sociais, com enfoque no Twitter. Método: Por meio de estudo exploratório, realiza-se pesquisa bibliográfica conceitual para a compreensão de como se dá a infodemia. Parte-se, então, para análise de estudos acerca da infodemia concomitante à pandemia de COVID-19 no âmbito do Twitter, tanto em perspectiva geral quanto voltados para o Brasil. Resultados: Observa-se que não há conceito definitivo de fake news na literatura da área, embora haja elementos em comum. Nota-se que o conceito de fake news se insere nos tipos de informação que compõem a desordem informacional. Há estudos que verificam que o espalhamento de informações falsas no Twitter se dá de forma muito rápida, enquanto outros concluem que isso não há diferença no espalhamento de informações verdadeiras e falsas. Independentemente disso, observa-se um grande número de postagens sobre a pandemia feitas no Twitter. No cenário brasileiro, os estudos analisados apresentam divergências, mas há a constatação de que o Brasil passa pelo fenômeno da infodemia. Conclusão: A infodemia é um fenômeno perceptível no Brasil e no mundo e não deriva apenas de notícias falsas, mas sim de todo tipo de informação. As mídias sociais, inclusive o Twitter, são plataformas propícias para a circulação rápida de informações. É importante o desenvolvimento de mais pesquisas nacionais, desenvolvidas em consonância com os acontecimentos locais, para a consolidação de uma análise da infodemia no Brasil que capte as peculiaridades do cenário brasileiro.
Modeling the Effectiveness of Employee Compensation Based on Financial Resources

Published: December 2020

Modeling the effectiveness of employee compensation by evaluating the relationship with the factors of the labor intensity of products, work experience, and incentive payments based on a linear model of multiple regression on the main components. In this paper, several methods are utilized, including the classical least squares method, variation inflation factor, principal component method. It is expected with theoretical representations that the labor intensity of products reduces the efficiency of employee remuneration, the experience and incentive payments in the General Fund of remuneration positively contribute to the increase in the efficiency of employee remuneration. The expediency of applying linear regression to the main components for measuring internal corporate factors of the employee remuneration system is shown since the linear model of multiple regression can give incorrect estimates due to collinear regressors. A methodological way to modeling employee remuneration effectiveness based on a regression on individual determinants of the motivation and remuneration system has been developed. The developed methodological means to modeling employee remuneration effectiveness has been tested on a poultry enterprise's data for the period from January 2015 to March 2020. The article's main conclusions can be used in the scientific and practical activities of agricultural enterprises in measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of using financial resources to pay.
Systematic analysis of injection-site pain and reactions caused by subcutaneous
administration of the adalimumab biosimilar FKB327 versus the adalimumab reference
product via different delivery methods
Authors: Alten Rieke , Kellner Herbert , Boyce Malcolm , Yonemura Takuma , Ito Takahiro , Genovese Mark C
Published: December 2020

Introduction/Study objectives: FKB327 is a biosimilar of the adalimumab reference
product. Studies in healthy subjects and patients with rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated
biosimilarity between FKB327 and the reference product in safety profile, efficacy and
immunogenicity. FKB327 formulation excipients differ from the citrate-containing
formulation of the reference product, and injection-site pain differences have been
reported. The current analysis examines pooled data to assess the amount of
injection-site pain resulting from injecting FKB327 using a prefilled syringe,
autoinjector, or vial/syringe versus the reference product. Methods: Data from four
studies were pooled to compare injection-site pain upon subcutaneous administration of
FKB327 versus the reference product. Pooled data were analysed to compare FKB327 with
the reference product and to compare the autoinjector, pre-filled syringe and
vial/syringe. Results: Data were analysed from 2007 assessments in 1,001 subjects. A
linear mixed model of the injection-site pain visual analogue scale score across all
studies showed a 12.6-point lower pain score for FKB327 versus the reference product
(95% confidence interval, –14.3 to –10.8; p > 0.001). The autoinjector pain score was
4.4 points lower than the vial/syringe (95% confidence interval, –5.9 to –2.8; p >
0.001) and 1.7 points lower than the pre-filled syringe (95% confidence interval, –3.3
to –0.1; p = 0.035). No statistically significant differences were identified for
gender, age, body weight, needle gauge, or injection site. Conclusion: FKB327 showed
less injection-site pain compared with the reference product. No statistically
significant differences were seen in injection-site reactions or related adverse events
between FKB327 and the reference product or among FKB327 injection methods.
Weibliche Gewalt in intimen Paarbeziehungen
Authors: Geißler Angela
Published: December 2020

With this volume the author Angela Geißler dares to take a new look into the field of domestic violence. She wants to motivate people to embrace the phenomenon of domestic violence in its entirety and to free themselves from one-sided polarisations. To this end she makes visible current deficiencies which prevent female violence from being perceived and taken seriously. On the basis of guideline-supported interviews with experts, impulses for a de-tabooing of the problem and a holistic fight against domestic violence are discussed. Finally, approaches for social work, politics and science are formulated.
