Angélica Liddell: autonomía de la palabra y pensamiento trágico contemporáneo
Authors: Del Monte Martínez Fernanda
Published: May 2021

Este artículo aborda el libro Trilogía del infinito, de la creadora española Angélica Liddell, para indagar de qué forma sus textos poéticos ejercen una escritura performativa que entreteje temas filosóficos y estéticos como son la verdad, la belleza, el horror y lo trágico. Se analiza de qué forma la propuesta escritural de Liddell se aparta de los cánones dramáticos y se presenta como texto autónomo de la puesta en escena.Angélica Liddell: The Written Word’s Autonomyand Contemporary Tragic ThoughtAbstractSpanish author and theatre director, Angélica Liddell’s latest publication is Trilogía del infinito (Trilogy of the Infinite, 2016), a performative text in which she addresses philosophical and aesthetic issues such as truth, beauty, horror and tragic thought. This article discusses how Liddell’s book breaks with dramatic canons and exists as an autonomous text which may be later staged in a performative mode.Recibido: 05 de agosto de 2020Aceptado: 26 de enero de 2021

Teatro japonés y religión: dos facetas del rito
Authors: Brázhnikova Tsybizova Violetta , Cid Lucas Fernando
Published: May 2021

La danza ritual de la diosa Uzume se considera como la fuente legendaria del teatro nacional japonés. La descripción de cómo fue creado este género forma parte de la narrativa del Kojiki, la primera compilación japonesa de estas características, que data del siglo VIII de nuestra era. En este artículo se presta especial atención a la relación entre el teatro tradicional japonés y el Shintō, la religión autóctona, para hacer así una aproximación al origen mitológico de ambos fenómenos. También se indaga en la compenetración estética y filosófica entre el teatro japonés y las religiones llegadas desde el continente a las islas japonesas en tiempos posteriores.Japanese Theatre and Religion: Two Aspects of the RitualAbstractGoddess Uzume’s ritual dance is considered the legendary source of Japanese national theatre. The description of how this genre was created is part of the narrative contained in Kojiki, the first Japanese compilation of its kind, from the 8th century A.D. Special attention is paid in this article to the relationship between traditional Japanese theatre and the native Shintō religion, addressing the mythological origin of both. Attention is also paid to the aesthetic and philosophical rapport between Japanese theatre and the religions that travelled from the mainland to the Japanese archipelago.Recibido: 05 de agosto de 2020Aceptado: 19 de enero de 2021

En defensa del concepto de “actuación estética” como actuación teatral verosímil
Authors: Cima Vallarino Gina , González González Juan C.
Published: May 2021

Este trabajo atañe a la experiencia teatral desde la estética y las ciencias cognitivas. Se defiende la idea de que la actuación estética puede ser entendida como actuación verosímil. Si la experiencia estética posee tres dimensiones –sensorial, conceptual y hedonista–, la verosimilitud en la actuación se lograría en términos de una estrecha y apropiada relación entre ellas. La experiencia estética del espectador sería, pues, una consecuencia de lo que éste percibe, piensa y siente. A su vez, los estudios empíricos permiten establecer criterios objetivos de evaluación para juzgar una actuación como verosímil, tanto por parte del actor como del espectador. In Defense of the Concept of “Aesthetic Performance” as Truthful Theatrical PerformanceThis work concerns Aesthetics and Cognitive Science. Furthermore, deals with theatrical issues, defending the idea that an aesthetic performance can be understood as a truthful performance. If the aesthetic experience has three dimensions –sensory, conceptual and hedonistic–, the truthfulness of the performance would be achieved thanks to a close and appropriate relationship between them. The aesthetic experience of the spectator would thus be a consequence of what he/she perceives, thinks and feels. At the same time, empirical studies allow to establish objective criteria of evaluation for judging the truthfulness of a performance, by both the actor and the spectator. Recibido: 03 de agosto de 2020Aceptado: 14 de diciembre de 2020
Cuatro cuerpos para la construcción de personajes en la danza escénica
Authors: Lay Trigo Sarahí
Published: May 2021

Construir un personaje en la danza escénica, en particular en la danza clásica, no es sólo interpretar técnicamente con el movimiento un personaje como Julieta, Odile, Giselle, Romeo, Oneguin o Albrecht. Para interpretar hay que ir más allá. Profundizar en las emociones, expresar, comunicar, construir un aura especial de fluencia escénica. Por eso, el bailarín ha de aprender a fluir en el escenario junto con aquello que le toca personificar. Para lograr esa fluencia escénica, este trabajo propone el desarrollo y formación de cuatro cuerpos que han de entrenarse para vivir plenamente la danza. Éstos son: cuerpo físico (mente-cuerpo), cuerpo emocional, cuerpo escénico y cuerpo escindido o “mágico”.  Four Bodies for Creating Characters in DancePerforming a characters in dance, specifically in classical dance, is not just setting a characters such as Juliet, Giselle, or Romeo in motion. To create a character in dance is an entirely different matter. Technical perfection is not enough, the dancer has to go further: become a channel of  communication,  go  deeper  into  her  emotions,  to  create  an  auric  channel  to  stage-flow. This way, the person  who  dances  can  give  shape  to  what  she  is  personifying  through  her multicorporality.  To accomplish such a process, this work proposes the development and training of four bodies: the physical body (mind-body), the emotional body, the stage body and the split or “magical” body. Recibido: 17 de abril de 2020Aceptado: 23 de noviembre de 2020

Objetivo: Esse trabalho buscou analisar, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, a eficácia da cirurgia bariátrica na remissão do DM2 em pacientes obesos, expondo as diversas técnicas cirúrgicas existentes, bem como suas particularidades e eficiência. Revisão bibliográfica: A obesidade e a diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) são problemas de saúde pública a nível mundial, que demandam gastos elevados para seu tratamento e podem trazer diversos transtornos para a vida do paciente. Na atualidade, a DM2 pode ser tratada de forma medicamentosa e por técnicas cirúrgicas, além de mudanças no estilo de vida. A cirurgia bariátrica vem se mostrando ser a melhor opção, a depender do paciente, na remissão desta doença.  Estão disponíveis procedimentos cirúrgicos que resultam na perda de peso e na diminuição considerável do índice glicêmico, alterando a morbidade e prognóstico dessa doença. Considerações finais: Foi possível concluir que a cirurgia bariátrica é mais eficaz do que o tratamento não cirúrgico para DM2, sendo a cirurgia Bypass Gástrico em Y-de-Roux a mais utilizada e com resultados satisfatórios.

Objetivo: Revisar e evidenciar as complicações da Tireoide de Hashimoto durante a gestação ao abordar repercussões para o feto e para a gestante; fisiopatologia, diagnóstico e tratamento da doença. Revisão bibliográfica: A tireoidite de Hashimoto é uma doença crônica e autoimune associada à hipofunção da glândula, caracterizada pela produção de autoanticorpos tireoidianos. É diagnosticada através da análise laboratorial, sintomatológica e histopatológica e tratada através de mudanças dos hábitos alimentares. O tratamento farmacológico é sustentado pelo uso de levotiroxina (L-T4). Em gestantes portadoras da doença, foram evidenciados riscos aumentados da pré-eclâmpsia, descolamento prematuro da placenta, anemia, hemorragia pós-parto, prematuridade, dentre outros. Além disso, em relação ao neonato, observa-se um maior risco de síndrome do desconforto respiratório, baixo peso ao nascer e retardo de crescimento, dentre outras repercussões ao longo da vida. Considerações finais: A fim de minimizar a morbimortalidade, fazem-se necessárias mais pesquisas que relacionem a anatomia e a disfunção da glândula com o prognóstico da Tireoidite de Hashimoto, principalmente em gestantes.

THE CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY BY CORPORATE
Authors: Wahyono Dwi
Published: May 2021

Corporation is the subject of a criminal act. In Indonesia, the statutory regulations that initiated the placement of corporations as subjects of criminal acts and which can be directly accounted for are Act No. 7 the Emergency of 1955 concerning Investigation, Prosecution and Economic Criminal Justice, as subjects of criminal law corporations do not have an inner attitude. Meanwhile, to be criminally accountable, a men's rea/schuld is required. Crimes committed by corporations are very detrimental to society and the state. Meanwhile, the conventional accountability system which is individual, direct, and based on schuld, is difficult to apply to corporations. The purpose of writing is to analyze the corporate liability system to impose crimes against corporations, and obstacles to imposing crimes against corporations. The method used is the statute approach (legal approach) and the case approach (case approach), the analysis method uses qualitative analysis with interpretation, and the data collection method uses library research. It can be concluded that corporations can be held accountable by using a system of absolute and substitute liability, and the obstacle is the application of a conventional criminal liability system and the difficulty of proving corporate wrongdoing. It is suggested that there is a common perception between law enforcers about the criminality of corporations.
APPROACHES TO CITIZENSHIP AND ETHNICITY OF MIGRANTS IN RUSSIA
Authors:   Institute for Demographic Research FCTAS RAS, Ryazantsev Sergey V. , Mishchuk Svetlana N. ,   Institute for Demographic Research FCTAS RAS
Published: May 2021

The increased intensity of international migration flows affects the need to record citizenship, ethnicity, nationality in statistical aggregates. Active migration shows the need for changes in the approach to taking into account the ethnic structure of the population and the flows of permanent and labor international migration. The results of the analysis of statistical records of citizenship and ethnic structure of the population and migrants in Russia and some foreign countries are presented in the article. The analysis of accounting indicators in Russia is based on official sources of the Federal State Statistics Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation. The information of these organizations makes it possible to analyze the ethnic component of international migration flows. The paper analyzes the approaches to accounting for the ethno-demographic characteristics of migrants at the federal level. It is shown that during the current registration, migrants indicate their citizenship and country of birth, as well as their nationality and religion by self-determination. However, in official publications, data on migration are narrowed down to the item “Citizenship”. Based on the approach about the likely mobility of ethnic self-identification, the set of variables for specifying the socio-cultural characteristics of both the resident population and foreign citizens could include several indicators. Based on the analysis of the experience of foreign countries in the development of questions on the ethno-demographic characteristics of the population, the authors propose, in the framework of the census of the Russian Federation, to consider the possibility of including additional data on the place of birth of the respondent's father and mother. The request for this information does not contradict the constitutional law, however, it will allow obtaining more correct data on the ethnic and cultural roots of the person being rewritten for analysis. Nationality based on self-identification is included in the list of issues in the All-Russian Population Census. However, the authors propose the issue of nationality in the migration registration card. This is due to the fact that now operational accounting does not take into account changes in the national composition of the country and its individual regions, which limits the possibilities of implementing a balanced ethnopolitics.
ANTI-CRISIS SCENARIO TECHNOLOGIES OF SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN THE PANDEMIC PERIOD
Authors:   MGIMO University, Sarkisyan Jacqueline M. , Tikhonova Maya A. ,   MGIMO University
Published: May 2021

The article discusses the possibilities of applying the scenario approach to anti-crisis management in the short term. The object of the study is small business as the most affected business segment in the pandemic, which requires actions adequate to the current crisis situation within the framework of the formed set for the implementation of anti-crisis actions. This will reduce the impact of uncertainty and reduce the economic consequences of business interruptions or lower revenues, as well as design scenarios and corresponding strategies for overcoming the crisis or development strategies in order to renew the business in the long term after the crisis while maintaining control over the current situation, taking into account the requirements of a quick response. Scenarios are a useful tool for the innovation and business community anywhere, but in these difficult times they open up the mindset for positive and offensive action instead of defensive, threat-based behavior. The scenarios accommodated unexpected changes in the business environment.

Authors:   Russian State University of JusticeRussian State University of Justice, Bogdanova Marina V. , Parshintsev Alexander A. ,   Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Faculty of Physics
Published: May 2021

This article is devoted to the assessment of intellectual capital, in particular, the development of a system of statistical indicators. In order to develop a system of statistical indicators, a comparative analysis of approaches to the definition of intellectual capital, as well as its structure, has been carried out. As a result of the performed analysis, it is proposed to study intellectual capital from the point of view of its essential specifics, taking into account the theoretical aspects of capital reproduction. For a comprehensive statistical analysis of intellectual capital, a multi-level system of indicators has been developed, the first level of which includes two components: intellectual potential and the result of its use, as well as three groups of indicators characterizing the process of intellectual capital reproduction: production of intellectual capital, distribution, exchange and its consumption. The second level of the scorecard details the components and groups of the first level. The third level includes individual indicators of intellectual capital. Using methods for constructing relative values and series of dynamics, the analysis of the presence and dynamics of intellectual capital by individual indicators in the Russian Federation and in comparison with the countries of the world was carried out. It was found that some indicators give multidirectional trends that complicate the overall interpretation of the results. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a complex integral indicator of intellectual capital.
SINGLE-INDUSTRY CITIES OF THE URAL ECONOMIC REGION: FEATURES AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to the study of trends in the socio-economic development of single-industry cities of the Ural Federal District and the Ural economic region, their typology in accordance with industry specifics, the development of proposals for improving the economic situation in this type of settlements. The choice of territories for the study was dictated by the special uniqueness of the Ural Federal District. It lies not only in the fact that 37 monotowns of the macroregion make up a third of its entire urban environment — almost 20% of the district's residents (with the all-Russian one — slightly less than 10% of the country's population), but also in the fact that all mono-settlements are concentrated in three constituent entities of the district out of six : Kurgan region (4), Sverdlovsk region (17) and Chelyabinsk region (16). And for them the share of the population of single-industry towns is already more than 30%. In addition, in the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions, single-industry towns form single-industry districts (this kind of phenomenon still exists only in the Kemerovo region). An increase in the values of the decile coefficient, the unemployment rate and the proportion of the population living at the poverty line can lead not only to an increase in social tension and an increase in crime, but also to outbursts of protest actions. In this regard, the study of trends in the socio-economic development of monotowns in the Urals has a high scientific and practical relevance and significance for the sustainable development of Russia.
REFORM OF LEGAL REGULATION OF REMOTE WORK AS A STIMULATION FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA
Authors:   MGIMO University, Andrianova Maria A.
Published: May 2021

The pandemic has created many difficulties for entrepreneurs around the world, including in Russia. As you know, difficulties, disrupting the usual order, can give impetus for radical changes that would not have a chance to be realized in times of peace and prosperity. It seems that remote mode is not suitable for all forms of employment, but if initially the employer assumes such an opportunity, the main problem is not the lack of the ability to control the employee, but ensuring effective communication with him and the ability to timely obtain the results of high-quality work done. It is noted that this goal can be achieved with the help of greater detail in local regulations of the order and conditions of interaction between the employee and the employer. One of the most promising consequences of the pandemic has been the reform of the legal regulation of remote work. In a very short period of time, remote work in Russia from an unviable rudiment has become one of the most progressive institutions, which has every chance of making all labor law more flexible and effective. Such labor law will undoubtedly become one of the incentives for the development of entrepreneurship in Russia.
Consumption of jelly dessert containing porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) glucomannan and inulin along with low-calorie diet contributes to glycemic control of obese adults: a randomized clinical trial
Authors: Utami N.N. , Lestari L.A. , Nurliyani  , Harmayani E.
Published: May 2021

Obesity is often correlated with insulin resistance and diabetes. Obese people need to
consume high fiber, high protein, low fat, and/or low calories food. In this report, the
effect of the consumption of jelly containing porang glucomannan and inulin along with a
low-calorie diet on the development of insulin resistance and fasting blood glucose (FBG)
in obese adults were studied. A total of fifty-five volunteers of both sexes, aged 21 to 35
, were randomized to 3 groups: treatment 2
years, and body mass index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m
group, placebo group, and control group (not given any jelly). All participants should
consume 1500 kcal daily for the first 4 weeks and 1200 kcal/day for the next 4 weeks,
including 2 cups of jelly (120 g per cup) per day. Jelly with porang glucomannan and
inulin maintain a normal level of insulin resistance index of individuals with normal FBG
and significantly suppress insulin resistance development in individuals with FBG above
normal baseline. These results significantly correlate with the intake of fiber. The FBG
was maintained under normal conditions in individuals with normal baseline and
improved from diabetes to prediabetes category in individuals with above normal baseline.
Tempeh extract reduces cellular ROS levels and upregulates the expression of antioxidant enzymes
Authors: Surya R. , Romulo A. , Suryani Y.
Published: May 2021

Tempeh is an Indonesian traditional food produced from soybeans through a mould
fermentation involving Rhizopus oligosporus. It is rich in bioactive phytochemicals,
including isoflavones that are known to exhibit antioxidant activities. This study aimed to
investigate the ability of tempeh ethanol extract to reduce cellular reactive oxygen species
(ROS) levels in HepG2 cells in vitro. Tempeh extract exhibited greater total phenolics,
total flavonoids and free radical inhibition capacity than soybean extract. Both tempeh
extract and soybean extract reduced the basal levels of cellular ROS in the cells, but
tempeh extract induced higher expression of antioxidant enzymes [catalase, superoxide
dismutase-2 (SOD2) and superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD3)] compared to soybean extract.
This study provides novel evidence suggesting the ability of tempeh to tackle cellular
oxidative stress by upregulating the expression of antioxidant enzymes. These findings
would give an insight into the potential of tempeh to be developed as a functional food
beneficial for human health.
Identification of bacteriological quality and antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms isolated from animal foods collected from the abattoir, butcher shops and local seafood market

Published: May 2021

The current study aimed to isolate bacteria that harbour various animal food products like
meat, chicken and seafoods collected from the abattoir, butcher shops and local seafood
market and to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of isolated pathogens which
are responsible for various foodborne illnesses in human beings. A total of forty raw
animal product samples were collected from the abattoir, butcher shops and local seafood
market of Visakhapatnam. The samples selected for the study include raw chicken, meat,
crab, prawns and different varieties of fish. A classic random sampling technique was
employed to collect the study samples. All the samples were processed immediately using
standard microbiological protocols. The bacteria isolation and characterization were done
by studying morphological characteristics with staining methods, cultural characteristics
by isolating and growing the pathogenic microorganisms in various selective and
differential culture media. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the Kirby
-Bauer method by following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)
guidelines. EDTA-Disc Potentiation Test and Imipenem-EDTA Double disc synergy test
are used to detect the metallo beta-lactamase production of isolated pathogens. The
highest number of isolates belong to Salmonella species (18), Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(18) followed by Vibrio species (14) and few isolates belong to Enterobacter species (4).
Majority of the microbial isolates obtained in the current study were multidrug resistant.
The isolates from the abattoir environments, slaughterhouses, fish markets were found to
exhibit variable resistance pattern to aminoglycosides, macrolides, β-lactams,
cephalosporins, quinolone antibiotics used in the present study and at the same time most
of them were sensitive to carbapenem antibiotic imipenem. Antimicrobial resistance
(AMR) prevents the designing and assessment of effective interventions. If such a link can
be established, then the tracking of antibiotic use and consumption data could be
furthermore used as a surrogate indicator for the risk of potential antibiotic resistance
(ABR) emergence.
Physicochemical properties of banana peel powder in functional food products
Authors: Mohd Dom Z. , Mujianto L. , Azhar A. , Masaudin S. , Samsudin R.
Published: May 2021

Saba banana is one of the most favourite banana varieties in Malaysia. It also generates a
concerning amount of waste as the only value part is the pulp. Banana peel has been
proven to have a lot of nutritional content that should not be ignored and wasted.
Conversion of banana peel to powder will convert it into a value-added product in the
food industry. Preliminary study on the protein, moisture, crude fibre and fat was carried
out for 2 different stages of maturity which are stage 2 (light green) and stage 5 (yellow
with green tips). Both stages have almost similar proximate analysis values and hence
stage 2 of banana was chosen for the next analysis, due to the high waste of banana peel in
stage 2 in SME (Small Medium Enterprise) in the production of banana chips. This study
characterized the banana peel powder for storage application at different sizes of particles
which are 1-125 µm, 126-250 µm and >250 µm. As the particles of the banana peel
powder increases, the flowability of the powder decreases. It was found that green banana
peel (stage 2) at sample A (1-125 µm) has the highest true density, but sample C (>250
µm) has the highest bulk density. The pH mean value of the three sizes also ranges from
6.15 to 6.46. The powder’s pH (6.15-6.46) is in the standard wheat flour acidity range.
Moreover, the study on the water holding capacity at different temperatures identifies that
banana peel powder has a high water holding capacity ranging from 3.83 to 6.45 g water/g
dry sample. In short, this study is a success in identifying the potential of banana peel
powder in food products based on its characteristics.

The coercive power of shared values
Authors: Ayson Robert
Published: May 2021

While values often evoke noble aims, groups of countries sometimes use statements about the values they share to coerce others. Allies coordinate around their shared values talk to apply reputational pressure on adversaries. Examples include attempts by the United States and its liberal democratic allies in Asia to coerce China and by EU and NATO members to coerce Russia. Shared values talk can also be used to discipline wayward allies who are supposed to be committed to the political principles in question. EU leaders and some of Washington’s NATO allies have sought to place such pressure on the Trump Administration. Participating in shared values talk may also be self-coercive. But if values talk is to be an effective form of coercion, it must impose costs that the target deems important.
Chatterpix Kids: A Potential Mobile App for Helping Primary ESL Pupils Improve Their Speaking Fluency
Authors: Rajendran Thirumangai , Yunus Melor Md
Published: May 2021

The mastery of all four language skills has become one of the topmost priorities among English as a Second Language (ESL) learners worldwide. Despite multiple efforts taken to master the necessary skills, speaking remains to the most challenging skill for many Malaysian ESL learners. Previous studies suggest that Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) for speaking has taken its first steps in Malaysian tertiary and secondary levels of education. However, there is still a paucity of research done on MALL at the primary level. The present case study therefore sought to fill in the gap by exploring how the ChatterPix Kids mobile app has helped 5 purposively selected Year 3 primary school pupils develop their speaking fluency. This was done through speaking practices conducted over 12 speaking lessons during the Movement Control Order (MCO) from their perspective. The pupils’ responses obtained through the semi-structured interviews were triangulated using the responses obtained from them through both a focus group and their parents’ feedback obtained through an open-ended questionnaire. The findings were thematically analysed. Seven themes were highlighted which indicate the crucial need to incorporate MALL for speaking among Malaysian primary school pupils. Further studies are recommended to be done on how ChatterPix Kids could be exploited when learning other language skills such as listening, reading, and writing. So far as the study’s limitations are concerned, there is a need to investigate how the pupils’ confidence could be sustained in the absence of the app when speaking in public.

Published: May 2021

Use of social media among youth is growing rapidly around the world. This is more common among the young undergraduates. As a consequence of high usage of social media, ability to support learners via social constructed learning has increased. This study focuses on enhancing undergraduate’s academic performance via social media intervention. This was an action research and used mix methods inquiry employed quantitative and qualitative studies. Open face to face interviews, semi structured and structured questionnaires were conducted among 94 (n=94) undergraduates at the Faculty of Information Technology, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Findings of the study will incorporate the new insights of learner on social media adaption in academic work in meaningful ways. The results of open-ended face to face interviews, semi structured and structured questionnaire demonstrate multiple contextual relationships exist in adaption of social media in formal academic setup. Furthermore, perceptions of undergraduates on social media intervention illustrate the prominent relationship between peer groups, instructors, and learning content. Results of the study indicate that the learners are reluctant to adapt to the traditional learning setups and communication modes, but they appreciate the use of state of art social media connections in learning. Findings will further offer better and important information for both learners and academics to uplift communication, collaboration, and development of conducive learning environments.

Neste trabalho são expostos os resultados de uma investigação qualitativa, em andamento, cujo objetivo é apresentar e explorar as possibilidades educacionais no que concerne à ocorrência de cenários para investigação, que possam ocasionar a Educação Matemática Crítica, por meio do “Jogo da Corrida dos Cavalos”. O jogo é baseado nas concepções de Skovsmose (2000, 2001, 2006, 2008) e é relacionado aos eixos temáticos de Probabilidade e Estatística, como propõe a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). A exploração e a apresentação das questões envolvidas nos cenários são feitas de forma investigativa, analisando as diversas estratégias de resolução, contrapondo-se ao paradigma do exercício e ao ensino tradicional. Além disso, na exploração dos possíveis cenários, os recursos tecnológicos, em especial o computador, tiveram um papel de destaque, visto que foi implementada uma simulação que auxiliou nas questões de tratamento analítico mais complexo. Sob a perspectiva das abordagens investigativas, assim como dos pressupostos teóricos da Educação Matemática Crítica, conseguimos constatar as potencialidades dos cenários para investigação e dos recursos tecnológicos para uma possível ação pedagógica em sala de aula.

A concepção de aprendizagem de Matemática dos alunos está arraigada ao tradicionalismo. A utilização de softwares, em especial o GeoGebra, tem sido uma forma de quebrar paradigmas da sala de aula, provocando a formulação de conjecturas pelos alunos e, consequentemente, sua validação. Nesse sentido, este estudo apoiou-se nas pesquisas sobre a natureza da Matemática de Ponte et al. (1997), que permitiu refletir sobre o que é um bom ensino da Matemática a partir da compreensão do que é Matemática. Logo, este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar as características que conferem, a construções de cenários animados por alunos com indicativo de altas habilidades/superdotação, o status de atividade Matemática. Para tanto, o trabalho assume pressupostos metodológicos de investigação e pesquisa Design-Based Research (DBR), uma recente e inovadora abordagem de investigação que agrega as vantagens das metodologias qualitativas e quantitativas. O episódio analisado permitiu verificar que o aluno formulou e verificou hipóteses quando alterou os valores dos coeficientes da função do primeiro grau para determinar a inclinação da reta e para posicioná-la onde deveria interceptar a função quadrática, sendo esta uma das características que conferem à construção dos cenários animados o status de atividade Matemática.

Based on the geological and mining conditions of face 3107 at Liang Baoshi coal mine, China, the numerical programs FLAC3D 2.10 and PFC2D 2.10 were used to analyze the parameters controlling the failure, caving and the coal recovery rate in Strip Longwall Top Coal Caving (SLTCC). The analyzed parameters are face length in dip direction, mining height, the span of coal caving, and sequence of coal drawing. The results show that the application of SLTCC for a limited face length is not favourable to coal failure, and it increases top coal loss. A sound engineering selection of technological parameters is therefore important to efficient mining in thick coal seams. The numerical results show that a face design of 3 m of cutting height, 0.8 m of caving span, and alternate drawing sequence results in high coal recovery rate, simple mining tasks, and efficient operation of face equipment.

Open-pit or underground mining both causes environmental impacts such as air, soil, water pollution, etc., especially causing land subsidence of mines and surrounding areas. Research on mining subsidence is often carried out by field survey, the advantage of this method is high accuracy, but it is usually applied in a small scale. Recently, with the development of radar technology, there have been many studies applying this Radar Interferometry technique to determine surface subsidence over a wide range with a few millimeters accuracy. In this paper, 24 Sentinel-1 images were used as input materials, using the Permanent Scatter Interferometry (PSInSAR) method to determine the land subsidence of the Tan My-Thuong Tan quarries and surrounding areas. The results were compared with the average annual subsidence of 20 surveying points using GNSS technology from 1/2018 to 3/2020. The correlation coefficient of annual average land subsidence of the two methods is 0.83, showing the feasibility of applying InSAR Sentinel-1 data processed by PSInSAR method for determining mine surface deformation and surrounding area.

Published: May 2021

Nowadays, there are many different methods for monitoring waste dump landslides based on GPS, total station, remote sensing, UAV, Lidar, etc. However, these technologies can only periodically monitor but cannot continuously monitor in real time. In recent years, GNSS CORS technology has been applied to continuously monitor real time waste dump landslides in open-pit mines to provide immediate or nearly-instant warning of waste dump landslides, which can timely prevent and minimize damages to property and human life. In the present work, the real time monitoring system of waste dump landslides monitoring based on GNSS CORS technology was designed and built. This real time monitoring system includes (1) the GNSS CORS station based on Leica technology, (2) the monitoring stations system, (3) the data collection, transmission and processing system based on Trimble technology and the warning system. This system allows continuous monitoring in real time and provides an instant warning if the landslide occurred. Moreover, it also has the advantage of being cheap, flexible and easy to install for monitoring stations. A simulation experiment results showed that our monitoring system operates stably and continuously 24/7 with a horizontal accuracy of ±3 mm and vertical accuracy of ±5 mm.
Research on Apparent Friction Factor in Perforated and Slotted Horizontal Filters to Dewater Opencast Mines Using Numerical Analysis
Authors: Tran Duc Huan , THIEN Pham Duc
Published: May 2021

In the mining industry, the horizontal wells have been using for dewatering purpose for several years. Due to unique characteristics, those horizontal filters are recommended to balance both the mechanical strength and hydraulic performance. Pressure drop along the horizontal well is one of the essential factors that affect the performance of a wellbore, the dewatering capacity as well. The pressure drop is caused due to four separate factors: wall friction, perforation roughness, inflow acceleration and mixing effects. In this publication, numerical analysis was implemented with different types of perforated and slotted pipes to investigate the effects of two later factors: inflow acceleration and the mixing effects. The simulated data using ANSYS 14.5 was analyzed using universal velocity distribution law in combination with the roughness function and influx flow. The results revealed that the apparent friction factor is a linear function of roughness friction factor and the total inflow rate ratio.

Published: May 2021

Teknolojik gelişmelerin her geçen gün hızla artması ile birlikte İnternet, bireylerin yaşamında önemli bir yer edinmiştir. Günlük hayatın hemen her anında ve her yerinde erişime ihtiyaç duyulan bir araç olan İnternet, yaşadığımız yüzyılda sunduğu hizmetlerle televizyon, radyo ve yazılı medyanın etkisini aşarak iletişim araçlarının en güçlüsü haline gelmiştir. Bununla beraber bireylerin eğlenceli kumar, sohbet, paylaşım gibi aktivitelere yatkınlıkları İnternet ortamında belirgin şekilde görülmekte ve bu durum oldukça cazip olan İnternet kullanımının bağımlılığa dönüşmesine neden olmaktadır. İnternet’e erişiminin birçok yerden sağlanabilmesi, üniversite öğrencilerinin ders saatlerinin daha esnek olması, onların bu teknolojiyi kullanmalarını kolaylaştırabilmektedir. Bu araştırmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin İnternet bağımlılığını yordamada İnternet’in cazibesi ve öğrenilmiş güçlülüğün rolü araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini İstanbul’da bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 229 kadın, 212 erkek olmak üzere 441 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri, Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi Kısa Formu, İnternet’in Cazibesi Ölçeği, Rosenbaum Öğrenilmiş Güçlülük Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre üniversite öğrencilerinin İnternet bağımlılıkları ile İnternet’i cazip bulmaları arasında pozitif yönde; öğrenilmiş güçlülükleri ile ise negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki bulunmaktadır. Araştırmanın sonucunda İnternet’in cazibesinin ve öğrenilmiş güçlülüğün İnternet bağımlılığını yordadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda genç yetişkinlere yönelik sağlıklı İnternet kullanımı, zaman yönetimi, öz düzenleme gibi başlıklarda bireysel ve grup çalışmaları planlaması önerilmektedir. Yapılacak yeni çalışmalar için de İnternet’in hızla gelişen bir teknolojiye sahip olması kullanılan tanımların, araştırılan kavramların sürekli güncellenmesi gerekliliğini de beraberinde getirmektedir.
