Ionic Liquids: Review of their Current and Future Industrial Applications and their Potential Environmental Impact
Authors: Pešić Jovana , Watson Malcolm , Papović Snežana , Vraneš Milan
Published: June 2020

Background:

Over the last two decades, thousands of scientific papers and many patents have
been written relating to applications of ionic liquids, a family of compounds that garnered such huge
interest due to their reputation as "green chemicals". This work reviews the recent literature to investigate
the progress ionic liquids have made in their transition from academia to full-scale application in a
variety of industries.

Methods:

For this review, keywords related to ionic liquids and their possible applications were used to
search patent databases such as Google patents. The recent patents thus discovered were tabulated and
sorted by application, and the most significant patents were identified. For each application of ionic liquids
identified in the patent search, an additional review of the recent scientific literature was carried out,
focussing on the relevant ionic liquids and their potential environmental impact.

Results:

Patents involving ionic liquids were found for various industrial applications, including in
chemical industry production technologies, nanotechnology, gas storage and environmental remediation.
Despite the widespread interest of the chemical industry, which hopes to improve the environmental
sustainability of their technologies by utilising ionic liquids, to date, only a handful of full-scale processes
which utilise ionic liquids have been successfully commercialised. That said, a large number of pilot
studies have been carried out in recent years, and 62 patents and 270 scientific texts are summarised
herein and other industrial applications are also approaching the market.

Conclusion:

The properties of ionic liquids inhibit their entry into the atmosphere. However, their annual production is
expected to increase drastically, raising urgent questions about their environmental impact, especially in water bodies.
More research is thus required to identify and mitigate any risks ionic liquids might pose to the environment.

Introduction:

Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphomas (ALCL) are rare in childhood but clinically aggressive. The contemporary World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematologic malignancies recognizes two distinct subtypes of systemic ALCL: Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-negative, and ALK-positive.

Case report:

We report a rare pediatric observation of cutaneous nodule revealing an Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) ALK - cutaneous, muscular and ganglionic. It was classified according to who classification, treated by polychemotherapy with good outcome.

Conclusion:

ALCL encompasses several distinct clinicopathologic entities with unique genomic under printing. This rare pediatric observation of ALCL presents a new discussion on a pathology still incompletely known.
Fluorescence Fluoride Ion Sensor Utilizing Desilylation of N-Silylated 9- Aminoanthracene
Authors: Uchiyama Yosuke , Yasuda Yu , Matsuzawa Hideyo
Published: June 2020

N,N-Bis(trimethylsilyl)-9-aminoanthracene (Si9AA) was synthesized by deprotonation of
9-aminoanthracne (9AA) with n-BuLi followed by the addition of trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl).
Under ultraviolet, Si9AA showed blue fluorescence originated from the anthracene skeleton due to orthogonal
relation between anthracene skeleton and bis(trimethylsilyl)amino group, which was determined
by X-ray crystallographic analysis, while 9AA, in which conjugation exists between the anthracene
and the amino group, showed green fluorescence. In a THF solution, Si9AA was converted to
9AA by desilylation of bis(trimethylsilyl)amino group with fluoride ion, which was contained in tetrabutylammonium
fluoride (TBAF) or KF-18-crown-6 complex, resulting in fluorescence color
change from blue to green. Si9AA was found to utilize as a sensor to detect fluoride ion in THF solution
or on a thin layer chromatography (TLC) via the fluorescence color change without any metals,
regarding a metal free fluorescence fluoride sensor in green chemistry.
Construction of Shared OCCA Model Based on Mobile Agent Technology
Authors: Zhao Jun , Sheng Tingyu
Published: June 2020

Background:

The Open Cloud Computing Alliance (OCCA) strives for more Cloud
Computing Service Providers (CCSP) to join the alliance. OCCA only requires CCSP to provide
virtual computing resources and does not care about the methods of the underlying implementation,
which leads the open-source cloud computing to a larger scale and more efficient. Due to the differences
in service modes and service categories, the cloud computing platforms formed by CCSP are
heterogeneous. How to implement tasks across platforms and ensure the quality of migration are the
key issue for sharing the OCCA platform.

Methods:

The Mobile Agent technology based on a domain is introduced. User tasks are encapsulated
into Mobile agent packets by domain client, which realizes the migration of user tasks from
one platform to another, and makes it possible to interoperate between OCCA virtual machines. To
ensure the service quality of OCCA better, a five-layer logical model of R-OCCA with high commercial
availability is proposed, which defines the service content of each layer and gives the setting
of key parameters. This paper introduces the architectural composition and operational mechanism
of the model, which carries out a qualitative analysis of the model, and establishes an experimental
prototype to verify the feasibility of the model on the virtual machine platform.

Results:

Experiments show that it is feasible to implement Cloud Computing Alliance among cloud
computing platforms through Mobile Agent under the existing technical conditions.

Conclusion:

To better guarantee the quality of OCCA service, a five-level R-OCCA logic model with
strong commercial availability is proposed. The service content of each level is defined and the key parameters
are given. From the CCSP income, the rationality of the model set is explained. The feasibility of the
model was analyzed. The architectural composition and operational mechanisms of the model are introduced.
The performance of the model was also analyzed.
Embodied Conversational Agent Appearance for Health Assessment of Older Adults: Explorative Study
Authors: ter Stal Silke , Broekhuis Marijke , van Velsen Lex , Hermens Hermie , Tabak Monique
Published: June 2020

Background

Embodied conversational agents (ECAs) have great potential for health apps but are rarely investigated as part of such apps. To promote the uptake of health apps, we need to understand how the design of ECAs can influence the preferences, motivation, and behavior of users.

Objective

This is one of the first studies that investigates how the appearance of an ECA implemented within a health app affects users’ likeliness of following agent advice, their perception of agent characteristics, and their feeling of rapport. In addition, we assessed usability and intention to use.

Methods

The ECA was implemented within a frailty assessment app in which three health questionnaires were translated into agent dialogues. In a within-subject experiment, questionnaire dialogues were randomly offered by a young female agent or an older male agent. Participants were asked to think aloud during interaction. Afterward, they rated the likeliness of following the agent’s advice, agent characteristics, rapport, usability, and intention to use and participated in a semistructured interview.

Results

A total of 20 older adults (72.2 [SD 3.5] years) participated. The older male agent was perceived as more authoritative than the young female agent (P=.03), but no other differences were found. The app scored high on usability (median 6.1) and intention to use (median 6.0). Participants indicated they did not see an added value of the agent to the health app.

Conclusions

Agent age and gender little influence users’ impressions after short interaction but remain important at first glance to lower the threshold to interact with the agent. Thus, it is important to take the design of ECAs into account when implementing them into health apps.
Views of Swedish Elder Care Personnel on Ongoing Digital Transformation: Cross-Sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Baudin Katarina , Gustafsson Christine , Frennert Susanne
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

Swedish municipalities are facing demographic challenges due to the growing number of older people and the resulting increased need for health care services. Welfare technologies are being launched as possible solutions for meeting some of these challenges.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to explore the perception, experimentation, evaluation, and procurement of welfare technology practices among professionals working in municipal elder care in relation to their gender, age, and profession.

METHODS

Data for this explorative cross-sectional study were collected from 393 responses to a web-based survey on municipal elder care in Sweden. Chi square tests were performed to determine the associations.

RESULTS

The results revealed gender, age, and professional differences in perspectives of municipal elder care workers. Differences were particularly evident in attitudes toward technology, both the use of technology in general and in the workplace, and involvement and participation in decision making regarding the procurement of new welfare technologies. Men (37/53, 70%) expressed a more positive attitude toward and curiosity regarding new technologies than women (157/336, 46.7%) (P=.03). Regarding age, the younger respondents (18-24 years old) perceived the digital transformation in the workplace as “too slow” (4/4, 100%), whereas the majority of older respondents (65-74 years old) perceived it as happening at the “right pace” (4/7, 57%). The elder care personnel felt encouraged by management to explore and experiment with new welfare technologies, but never did so either for management or with patients. Even though the majority of the respondents were women, more men (4/7, 57%) were involved in the procurement process for welfare technology devices and solutions than women (98/336, 29.2%) (P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Personnel working within municipal elder care were generally very positive toward new technologies. However, both gender and age differences may influence these perspectives such as the personnel’s resistance to welfare technology and patients’ participation in welfare technology usage and deployment. Different levels of participation in the decision-making process regarding new technology deployment may negatively affect the overall digital transformation within municipal elder care.
Comparison of the Effects of Automated and Manual Record Keeping on Anesthetists’ Monitoring Performance: Randomized Controlled Simulation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Tse Man-Kei , Li Simon Y W , Chiu Tsz Hin , Lau Chung Wai , Lam Ka Man , Cheng Chun Pong Benny
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

Anesthesia information management systems (AIMSs) automatically import real-time vital signs from physiological monitors to anesthetic records, replacing part of anesthetists’ traditional manual record keeping. However, only a handful of studies have examined the effects of AIMSs on anesthetists’ monitoring performance.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to compare the effects of AIMS use and manual record keeping on anesthetists’ monitoring performance, using a full-scale high-fidelity simulation.

METHODS

This simulation study was a randomized controlled trial with a parallel group design that compared the effects of two record-keeping methods (AIMS vs manual) on anesthetists’ monitoring performance. Twenty anesthetists at a tertiary hospital in Hong Kong were randomly assigned to either the AIMS or manual condition, and they participated in a 45-minute scenario in a high-fidelity simulation environment. Participants took over a case involving general anesthesia for below-knee amputation surgery and performed record keeping. The three primary outcomes were participants’ (1) vigilance detection accuracy (%), (2) situation awareness accuracy (%), and (3) subjective mental workload (0-100).

RESULTS

With regard to the primary outcomes, there was no significant difference in participants’ vigilance detection accuracy (AIMS, 56.7% vs manual, 56.7%; P=.50), and subjective mental workload was significantly lower in the AIMS condition than in the manual condition (AIMS, 34.2 vs manual, 46.7; P=.02). However, the result for situation awareness accuracy was inconclusive as the study did not have enough power to detect a difference between the two conditions.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings suggest that it is promising for AIMS use to become a mainstay of anesthesia record keeping. AIMSs are effective in reducing anesthetists’ workload and improving the quality of their anesthetic record keeping, without compromising vigilance.

Authors: Helal Uddin Mohammad , Hossain Mohammad Nahid , Thapa K. , Yang S.-H
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

COVID-19 is a life-threatening infectious disease that has become a pandemic for the time being. The virus grows within the lower respiratory tract where early-stage symptoms(like- cough, fever, sore throat, etc.) develop and then it causes lung infection(pneumonia)

OBJECTIVE

This paper proposed a new methodology of artificial testing whether a patient has been infected by COVID-19 or not

METHODS

We have presented a prediction model based on, Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) and our own developed mathematical equation based algorithm named SymptomNet. The CNN algorithm classifies the lung infection(pneumonia) from frontal chest X-ray images, while the symptoms analyzing algorithm(SymptomNet) predicts the possibility of COVID-19 infection from developed symptoms in a patient

RESULTS

The model has the accuracy of 96% while predicting COVID-19 patients. In this Model, the CNN classifier has the accuracy of around 96% and the SymptomNet algorithm has the accuracy of 97%.

CONCLUSIONS

This research work obtained a promising accuracy while predicting COVID-19 infected patients. The proposed model can be ubiquitously used at a low cost with high accuracy.
Global research trend in the treatment of the new Coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) : bibliometric analysis. (Preprint)
Authors: Mbogning Fonkou Maxime Descartes , YACOUBA Abdourahamane
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused worldwide concern and has become a major medical problem. Vaccines and therapeutics are important interventions for the management of this outbreak.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to used bibliometric methods to identify research trends in the domain of therapeutics and vaccines to cure patients with COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

METHODS

The Web of Science Core Collection database was retrieved for articles on therapeutic approaches to coronavirus disease management published between January 1, 2020 and May 20, 2020. Identified and analyzed the data included title, corresponding author, language, publication time, publication type, research focus.

RESULTS

A total of 1569 articles on coronavirus therapeutic means from 84 countries were published in 620 journals. We note the remarkable progressive increase in the number of publications related to research on therapies and vaccines for COVID-19. The United States provided the largest number of articles (405), followed by China (364). Journal of Medical Virology published most of them (n=40). 1005 (64.05%) were articles, 286 (18.23%) were letters, 230 (14.66%) were reviews. The terms "COVID- 19" or "SARS-CoV-2" or "Coronavirus" or "hydroxychloroquine" or "chloroquine" or "2019-nCOV" or "ACE2" or "treatment" or "remdesivir" or "pneumonia" were most frequently used, as shown in the density visualization map. A network analysis based on keyword co-occurrence revealed five distinct types of studies: clinical, biological, epidemiological, pandemic management, and therapeutics (vaccines and treatments).

CONCLUSIONS

COVID-19 is a major disease that has had an impact on international public health at the global level. Several avenues for treatment and vaccines have been explored. Most of them focus on older drugs used to treat other diseases that have been effective for other types of coronaviruses. There is a discrepancy in the results obtained from the studies of the drugs included in this study. Randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate older drugs and develop new treatment options.

POLÍTICA FISCAL DISCRECIONAL EN BRASIL, 1995-2017: DESCOMPOSICIÓN Y EVOLUCIÓN
Authors: Santos de Oliveira Pontes Amanda , Cabral de Lourenço André Luís
Published: June 2020

Este artículo tiene como objetivo evaluar la orientación general (expansionista o contraccionista) del componente discrecional de la política fiscal brasileña en el periodo 1995-2017, así como verificar su posición respecto al ciclo económico (procíclica o anticíclica). Con este fin, proponemos y aplicamos una nueva metodología para separar el impulso fiscal discrecional de la parte del resultado fiscal que se obtiene de la activación de los estabilizadores fiscales automáticos. Concluimos que la política fiscal: 1) generó una posición mayormente procíclica (desestabilizadora) de su componente discrecional, lo que la llevó a amplificar en lugar de amortiguar los ciclos económicos; 2) no pudo evitar que la relación deuda pública/PIB entrase en una trayectoria insostenible al final del periodo. Se hacen algunas sugerencias para mejorar su rendimiento.

 

DISCRETIONARY FISCAL POLICY IN BRAZIL, 1995-2017: DECOMPOSITION AND EVOLUTION

ABSTRACT
This article aims to evaluate the general (expansionist or contractionist) orientation of the discretionary component of Brazilian fiscal policy in the period 1995-2017, as well as to verify its position in relation to the economic cycle (procyclical or anticyclical). To this end, it proposes and applies a new methodology to separate the discretionary fiscal impulse from the part of the fiscal result arising from the operation of automatic fiscal stabilizers. It concludes that fiscal policy: 1) generated a mostly procyclical (destabilizing) position of its discretionary component, leading it to amplify rather than dampen economic cycles; 2) failed to prevent the public debt/GDP ratio from entering the unsustainable path at the end of the period. Suggestions are made to improve its performance.
Selecting the Power Transformers Rated for 10(6)/0.4 kv Substations Taking into Account the Influence of Nonlinear Load

Published: June 2020

Рассмотрены факторы, влияющие на выбор мощности силовых трансформаторов для подстанций напряжением 10(6)/0,4 кВ. Приведен обзор методов, позволяющих оценить допустимый уровень загрузки силовых трансформаторов при несинусоидальном характере тока нагрузки. Сформулированы рекомендации по выбору расчетного коэффициента загрузки силовых трансформаторов в зависимости от конструкции трансформатора, эксплуатационных характеристик, принятого режима резервирования и доли ответственных потребителей электрической энергии. Предложен алгоритм выбора мощности силовых трансформаторов с учетом влияния несинусоидальных токов нагрузки, предполагающий использование коэффициента снижения допустимой нагрузки. Получены зависимости коэффициента снижения допустимой нагрузки от доли полной мощности нелинейных потребителей при различном гармоническом составе тока нагрузки. Установлено, что для рассматриваемых гармонических составов тока нагрузки при изменении доли полной мощности нелинейной нагрузки от 0 до 100 % значения коэффициента снижения допустимой нагрузки изменяются в пределах 1,0…0,712. Проанализированы результаты выбора номинальной мощности силовых трансформаторов по предложенному алгоритму при различных режимах резервирования (различных значениях расчетного коэффициента загрузки). Выбор мощности силовых трансформаторов производился для трех типовых объектов, характеризуемых различным гармоническим составом тока нагрузки, при изменении доли полной мощности нелинейных потребителей от 0 до 100 %. Установлено, что для обеспечения нормативного срока службы силовых трансформаторов в рассматриваемых случаях их номинальная мощность должна быть увеличена на 25…60 %.Выбор мощности силовых трансформаторов с учетом влияния нелинейной нагрузки целесообразно осуществлять с использованием сведений о гармоническом составе тока нагрузки. Для этого на стадии расчета электрических нагрузок требуется определение расчетной полной мощности электроприемников, имеющих нелинейную вольт-амперную характеристику, и гармонического состава тока нагрузки.Предложенный алгоритм выбора мощности силовых трансформаторов может быть использован в составе методики расчета электрических нагрузок и выбора силового электрооборудования при проектировании трансформаторных подстанций для промышленных объектов, инфраструктурных объектов, жилых и общественных зданий.
DEBATE SOBRE SILENCIO DEL IMPUTADO.
Authors: Riego Cristian
Published: June 2020

El artículo aborda la cuestión de la posibilidad de utilizar el silencio del imputado como prueba en su contra en el proceso penal chileno. En primer lugar se discute la tesis planteada por varios autores en el sentido que el reconocimiento del derecho a guardar silencio por parte del imputado excluiría la posibilidad de utilizar ese mismo silencio para extraer en su contra inferencia inculpatorias. El texto plantea que desde el punto de vista teórico, de derecho comparado y de derecho internacional se trata de una cuestión debatida que puede ser resuelta por la ley nacional. Finalmente, el autor sostiene que una correcta interpretación de la ley chilena no solo permite el uso del silencio del imputado como elemento de prueba en contra del imputado, sino que el juez en la sentencia debe siempre analizar su significado con el fin de evitar un uso abusivo del mismo

Algumas reflexões introdutórias sobre exílio e literatura (À guisa de apresentação)
Authors: Baladão Janaína De Azevedo , Ponge Robert , Castiglioni Ruben Daniel
Published: June 2020

Exílio – pequena palavra em que cabe uma numerosa diversidade de ocorrências, situações, realidades concretas. Quantas vivências, representações e imagens nela ressoam? Quantas impressões, evocações e associações ela contém? Quantas emoções, sentimentos e ressentimentos ela condensa? Quantas alegrias e felicidades, quantos abalos, feridas, traumas, destruições? Uma infinidade!Porém, se nos circunscrevermos à caracterização do fenômeno e à definição lexical do termo, constata-se que a polissemia do vocábulo costuma remeter a três tipos de situação, causa ou motivação do exílio.
Stefan Zweig e o exílio do mundo

Published: June 2020

O artigo analisa o sentido de “ser no mundo” e “ser do mundo”, a partir do diálogo com as narrativas autobiográfica, ficcional e historiográfica de Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), e a filosofia política de Hannah Arendt (1906-1975), judeus que viveram a experiência de serem apátridas e viverem no exílio, em virtude das perseguições nazistas.
Gender and emotion in exile: Evelyn Scott and Cyril Kay-Scott’s experience in Brazil (1914-1918)
Authors: Salgado Maria Das Graças
Published: June 2020

Historicamente o exílio tem representado parte significativa da vida de escritores, artistas e intelectuais em toda parte. No Brasil, esse movimento migratório ocorreu sobretudo no período das duas grandes guerras. Foi o caso, por exemplo, da escritora americana Evelyn Scott que, no final de 1913, fugiu com Cyril Kay-Scott, um renomado médico e pesquisador, à época, casado, pai de quatro filhos e com mais que o dobro de sua idade. Sem passaportes, levando pouquíssimo dinheiro no bolso, o casal fugiu primeiro para Nova York, em seguida para Londres e finalmente para o Brasil, onde enfrentaram pobreza, fome e isolamento profundo. A experiência foi particularmente dolorosa para Evelyn Scott, que chegara ao Brasil grávida e teve que enfrentar um parto difícil na cidade de Natal (RN). O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o discurso autobiográfico de Evelyn Scott e Cyril Kay-Scott sobre o longo exílio auto-imposto que viveram no Brasil entre os anos 1914 e 1919. A análise se baseia nas autobiografias Escapade, de Evelyn Scott, e Life is too short, de Cyril Kay-Scott. Evidências indicam que gênero e emoção são aspectos importantes que revelam diferenças não apenas de estilo como também de visões de mundo.

Socialização e desenvolvimento profissional de docentes bacharéis: contribuições teóricas para o debate
Authors: Melo Geovana Ferreira
Published: June 2020

A docência universitária é uma profissão que se efetiva em contextos sociais determinados e, portanto, assume compromissos com a construção e mediação entre os estudantes e o conhecimento, com a intenção de possibilitar a esses sujeitos se desenvolverem, em uma perspectiva emancipatória. Diante da natureza complexa do trabalho docente, torna-se fundamental problematizar os processos formativos da docência, especialmente, dos professores ingressantes na carreira universitária, por se tratar de uma fase marcada por vivências de solidão acadêmica e sentimento de insegurança em relação ao aprendizado da profissão. A questão balizadora da investigação refere-se à compreensão de quais pressupostos teórico-metodológicos podem contribuir com processos formativos de professores ingressantes na educação superior. Por meio da pesquisa teórica são discutidos os conceitos relacionados à formação, identidade e socialização profissional que podem favorecer a ampliação e aprofundamento dos debates referentes aos processos de desenvolvimento profissional desses professores. A análise indicou que os referidos conceitos, ao serem aprofundados, se constituem em perspectivas teóricas que podem contribuir para ampliar os debates a respeito dos impasses e dilemas inerentes aos primeiros anos de exercício na carreira docente universitária. A pesquisa indica a complexidade do processo de aprendizado da docência, especialmente nos anos iniciais da carreira, em que o repertório de saberes pode ser ampliado, as identidades profissionais podem ser reconfiguradas, juntamente com as crenças e decisões pedagógicas. Esse movimento incide no compromisso da universidade em construir políticas institucionais de formação permanente que propiciem o desenvolvimento profissional docente.

Authors: Cardoso Solange , Da Silva Kátia Augusta C. P. C.
Published: June 2020

Esse estudo do tipo estado do conhecimento tem como objetivo situar, conhecer e compreender a abordagem das pesquisas brasileiras sobre o ciclo de vida profissional docente no Ensino Superior, bem como averiguar os avanços e apontar possíveis lacunas. O levantamento foi realizado nas bases de dados da ANPEd e CAPES, reconhecidas como importantes meios de divulgação das pesquisas na área da educação. O estudo foi desenvolvido por meio digital, no período de uma década, 2006 a 2016. Os dados revelam carência expressiva de pesquisas e também, apresentaram lacunas acerca da presente temática, sugerindo investigações futuras a partir de diversas categorias de estudo. A pesquisa possibilitou compreender novas formas de explicar o desenvolvimento da vida profissional, destaca-se a existência de um “ciclo” que acontece de forma individual e, ao mesmo tempo, coletivo ‒ para cada grupo de professores. Para compreendê-lo de forma abrangente e significativa, torna-se necessário considerar que existem Linhas de Força que atuam ao longo da trajetória docente, orientando determinadas escolhas, certos relacionamentos e modos diferenciados de agir. E ainda que há um ciclo de vida profissional docente que perpassa pelas marcas do ensino superior somadas as concepções de docência trazidas de forma individual por cada professor e que cooptam uma docência técnica e interpessoal.

Authors: Audi Amanda Godoi , Cortela Beatriz Salemme C.
Published: June 2020

A docência no Ensino Superior tem sido foco de interesse de pesquisadores da área de Ensino e Educação. Este artigo discute o perfil feminino em um curso de Pós-Graduação em Educação para Ciência e a empregabilidade deste público no ensino superior, analisando os dados à luz de outras pesquisas na área. Para tanto foi feito um levantamento em quatro revistas da área, com o intuito de identificar discussões relativas a essa temática. Usando descritores com foco na docência no ensino superior, 39 foram os trabalhos localizados e, após uma leitura mais aprofundada, apenas seis deles atendiam aos critérios estabelecidos. A seguir, foi feito um recorte nos dados apresentados em uma pesquisa realizada por Audi (2018), visando identificar qual o perfil profissional das mulheres formadas pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação para Ciências, da Unesp-Bauru/SP, de 1997 a 2016, além de um levantamentos junto à Plataforma Lattes buscando saber onde estas mulheres trabalham hoje. Durante o período analisado foram formados 524 novos pesquisadores, sendo 357 no mestrado (224 mulheres) e 167 no doutorado (52 mulheres). Os dados obtidos apontam que 88,58% delas atuam na área educacional, sendo que 75% das egressas trabalham em instituições de ensino superior públicas, como docentes/pesquisadoras. Conclui-se, entre outros pontos, que o programa analisado propicia uma formação de qualidade e que isso possibilita a inserção dos formandos no mercado de trabalho. Também apontamos que o quadro de docentes do programa (40) é composto por 21 mulheres (52,5%) de mulheres, sendo que oito delas (38,09%) foram formadas no próprio programa.

Método: Estudo transversal de natureza descritiva e quantitativa. Os dados foram coletados no Serviço de Assistência Farmacêutica Municipal. Foram analisados processos que demandavam medicamentos e produtos para a manutenção da saúde, iniciados no período de janeiro a outubro de 2017. Resultados: Os autores eram predominantemente adultos e idosos, de ambos os sexos em igual proporção. O município foi réu em 88% dos processos. Em 95% dos casos, a representação jurídica foi feita pela Defensoria Pública ou pelo Ministério Público. A urgência ou a antecipação de tutela foi concedida em 97% dos casos. Dois terços dos medicamentos demandados não faziam parte da Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais; 19% pertenciam ao componente básico e 12%, ao componente especializado da assistência farmacêutica do SUS. A maioria das prescrições médicas provinham da rede pública de saúde e 53% dos medicamentos não estavam prescritos por sua denominação comum genérica. Os medicamentos mais solicitados destinavam-se ao tratamento de distúrbios metabólicos (17%) e sequelas neurológicas (16%); 26% dos produtos para a saúde demandados eram fraldas descartáveis geriátricas. A compra de medicamentos para atender determinações judiciais gerou um prejuízo orçamentário de 147% quando comparado com o valor do preço máximo permitido para vendas (Preço Fábrica).Conclusão: A solicitação de medicamentos por via judicial evidencia insuficiências da gestão da política de assistência farmacêutica prestada pelo município de Fortaleza e gera custos elevados para a administração do município, principalmente quando envolve medicamentos que pertencem ao componente básico da assistência farmacêutica.

Frequency Controlled Noise Cancellation for Audio and Hearing Purposes
Authors: O. Abid Noor Ali
Published: June 2020

Methods for hearing aids sought to compensate for loss in hearing by amplifying signals of interest in the audio band. In real-world, audio signals are prone to outdoor noise which can be destructive for hearing aid.  Eliminating interfering noise at high speed and low power consumption became a target for recent researches. Modern hearing compensation technologies use digital signal processing which requires minimum implementation costs to reduce power consumption, as well as avoiding delay in real time processing. In this paper, frequency controlled noise cancellation (FCNC) strategy for hearing aid and audio communication is developed with low complexity and least time delay. The contribution of the current work is made by offering a method that is capable of removing inherent distortion due filter-bank insertion and assigning adaptive filtering to a particular sub-band to remove external noise. The performance of the proposed FCNC was examined under frequency-limited noise, which corrupts particular parts of the audio spectrum. Results showed that the FCNC renders noise-immune audio signals with minimal number of computations and least delay. Mean square error (MSE) plots of the proposed FCNC method reached below -30 dB compared to -25 dB using conventional sub-band method and to -10 dB using standard full-band noise canceller. The proposed FCNC approach gave the lowest number of computations compared to other methods with a total of 346 computations per sample compared to 860 and 512 by conventional sub-band and full-band methods respectively. The time delay using FCNC is the least compared to the other methods.

Quality control becomes an important key for companies in suppressing the number of defective produced products. Six Sigma is a quality control method that aims to minimize defective products to the lowest point or achieve operational performance with a sigma value of 6 with only yielding 3.4 defective products of 1 million product. Stages of Six Sigma method starts from the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) stages that help the company in improving quality and continuous improvement. Based on the results of research on baby clothes products, data in March 2018 the percentage of defective products produced reached 1.4% exceeding 1% tolerance limit, with a Sigma value of 4.14 meaning a possible defect product of 4033.39 opportunities per million products. In the pareto diagram there were 5 types of CTQ (Critical to Quality) such as oblique obras, blobor screen printing, there is a fabric / head cloth code on the final product, hollow fabric / thin fabric fiber, and dirty cloth. The factors caused quality problems such as Manpower, Materials, Environtment, and Machine. Suggestion for consideration of company improvement was continuous improvement on every existing quality problem like in Manpower factor namely improving comprehension, awareness of employees in producing quality product and improve employee's accuracy, Strength Quality Control and give break time. Materials by making the method of cutting the fabric head, the Machine by scheduling machine maintenance and the provision of needle containers at each employees desk sewing and better environtment by installing exhaust fan and renovating the production room.

This research investigates swallow nest tax controlling in Cirebon Regency. The swallow nest tax is tax on the activity of taking or exploiting swallow nest. Formulation of the problem in this study is based on the report issued by THE BPPD Cirebon Regency, which showed that there was tax disobedience or avoidance performed by the swallow nest taxpayers. There was also still lack of corrective action done by the government in deciding tax penalty for the tax breakers. It is assumed to happen due to the less optimized controlling process. Therefore, this research aimed at seeing how the controlling process of swallow nest tax in Cirebon Regency was conducted. The data collecting technique of the qualitative method was applied in this research by using the literature research, field research, and interviewing five informants. They were the Head of Control Sub-Department of THE BPPD of Cirebon Regency, the Head of Regional Tax 1 Department of THE BPPD of Cirebon Regency, the Head of Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of THE BPPD of Cirebon Regency, the taxpayer, and the guard of swallow nest building. The research showed that the swallow nest tax collecting process in Cirebon Regency was not optimal at that time. It was because the performance had not met the determined target, the controlling process done had not been completely conducted based on the standard determined in the Regent’s Regulation (Perbup) No. 14 of 2012, and the commitment in deciding needs of corrective action was not strong enough.
Reacciones en cadena: cambio tecnológico global y frontera forestal en la península de Yucatán (ca. 1850-1950)
Authors: Pretel David
Published: June 2020

El presente artículo aborda el impacto del cambio tecnológico en la evolución de las fronteras de producción de mercancías tropicales por medio del estudio de los casos del palo de tinte y el chicle en la península yucateca desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta la segunda guerra mundial. Tres son los propósitos de este texto. En primer lugar, poner de relieve el papel que el cambio tecnológico a distintas escalas tuvo en el auge y declive de las cadenas globales de mercancías tropicales, en particular forestales, durante los años de la llamada segunda revolución industrial. En segundo lugar, argumentar que los ciclos de explotación del palo de tinte y el chicle en la península de Yucatán estuvieron determinados por la articulación de tecnologías globales y locales, en concreto químicas, botánicas y mecánicas. En tercer lugar, demostrar que las cadenas globales de transformación de estos dos recursos forestales fueron espacios de sincronía tecnocientífica, al conectar dos culturas tecnológicas disímiles.
Las gramáticas misioneras sobre la lengua quechua a través de sus paratextos
Authors: Segovia Gordillo Ana
Published: June 2020

Este artículo arroja luz sobre quiénes fueron los autores de las gramáticas misioneras del quechua, sus motivaciones al concebirlas, sus destinatarios, qué lenguas estaban implicadas y cuáles fueron sus métodos. Para ello, usamos como corpus de estudio los paratextos de las gramáticas sobre el quechua de los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII, tradición en que predominó la orden jesuita, cuyas artes, según veremos, procuraban instruir a los responsables de la doctrina en las variedades dialectales de los indígenas, cuya colaboración en tales tareas se erigió en pilar fundamental para refinar los métodos de trabajo utilizados.

Los grupos menos desarrollados económicamente con respecto a los estratos prestigiosos, son vistos como inferiores por éstos últimos, lo que produce actitudes de rechazo a sus modos de vida y a sus formas lingüísticas. El trabajo que presentan José María Buzón, Ma. Begoña Gómez y José Ramón Gómez muestra la importancia de realizar estudios empíricos en relación con las actitudes lingüísticas en una comunidad de habla, sobre todo en comunidades bilingües con un perfil sociolingüístico de conflicto en el que una de las lenguas en uso se considera con mayor prestigio.
