Authors: Quirino de Souza Filho Osvaldo , Andrade de Souza Luiz Eduardo
Published: November 2020

A partir da segunda metade da década de 1960, houve uma corrida armamentistana América do Sul centrada na aquisição de jatos militares supersônicos. Os paísessul-americanos, em contexto marcado pela Guerra Fria e pela Revolução Cubana,buscaram alterar a cooperação militar realizada com os Estados Unidos desde o pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial em prol da aquisição dessa nova tecnologia. No entanto, ogoverno Lyndon Johnson recusou-se a prover os caças F5 norte-americanos a partirde 1963, de modo que foram buscados supridores alternativos para a modernizaçãotecnológica reivindicada pelos estamentos militares que comandavam a maior partedos países sul-americanos. A França, no marco de uma política externa ativista, foi oparceiro preferencial escolhido para essa negociação, pois o país buscava aumentarsua influência na América Latina e estava disposto a exportar o jato supersônicoMirage. O governo militar brasileiro, diante da recusa norte-americana de exportaros jatos F5, contornou essa forma de cerceamento tecnológico e adquiriu o Miragefrancês, após sofrer pressões dos Estados Unidos. O texto argumenta que asdimensões regional, da América do Sul, e trilateral, entre Brasil, França e EstadosUnidos, são fundamentais para explicar os condicionantes que estiveram presentesna aquisição do Mirage pelo Brasil.

Published: November 2020

Colombia is the third largest passion fruit producer of the world after Brazil and Ecuador. The aim was to develop possible solutions to increase the added value for passion fruit produced by small and medium sized farms in Colombia, by developing a product that is easy to produce by farmers. The raw Passion fruits were used as efficient as possible to reduce waste. Two formulas are presented below, Formula A with fruit juice only and Formula B with fruit pulp (juice and seeds). Both formulas use the rind of passion fruit as gelling material, since no pectin was added. Product was packed in glass jars cooled. Strategies such as getting initial financial aid, a strong internal organization, and last but not least, a high-quality product, could lead to having a temporary competitive advantage. Later on, if the success is maintained, a permanent competitive advantage could be obtained.
TEG Cascaded Solar PV System with Enhanced Efficiency by Using the PSO MPPT Boost Converter
Authors: Kalyani Chinchinada V. S. L. , Kumar Motepalli Sunil , Nagaraju Tella
Published: November 2020

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are used in small power applications to generate electrical energy from waste heats. Maximum power is obtained when the connected load to the ends of TEGs matches their internal resistance. However, impedance matching cannot always be ensured. Therefore, TEGs operate at lower efficiency. For this reason, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms are utilized. In this study, both TEGs and a boost converter with MPPT were modeled together. Detailed modeling, simulation, and verification of TEGs depending on the Seebeck coefficient, the hot/cold side temperatures, and the number of modules in MATLAB/Simulink were carried out. In addition, a boost converter having a particle swarm optimization (PSO) MPPT algorithm was added to the TEG modeling. After the TEG output equations were determined, the TEG modeling was performed based on manufacturer data sheets. Thanks to the TEG model and the boost converter with PSO MPPT, the maximum power was tracked with a value of 98.64% and the power derived from the TEG was nearly unaffected by the load changes. The power outputs obtained from the system with and without MPPT were compared to emphasize the importance of MPPT. These simulation values were verified by using an experimental setup. Ultimately, the proposed modeling provides a system of TEGs and a boost converter having PSO MPPT.

Published: November 2020

Insecticide-sprayed and unsprayed IR64, rice variety susceptible to tungro virus had very poor growth and very low yield compared to the intermediate and resistant varieties. As a result, higher net profit was observed on PSB Rc18 (resistant variety) during the dry season, while a negative profit per cropping was obtained on the sprayed and unsprayed susceptible variety. The study implied that cypermethrin is not effective in controlling rice tungro disease, thus the use of resistant varieties is more effective and profitable.

Authors:   PhilRootCrops, Leyte State University, Visca, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines, Tulin Anabella
Published: November 2020

The characteristics and properties of interlayer materials from 10 non-allophanic (Melanudand) and red yellow soils (Alfisols and Ultisols) from three locations in Japan were studied by chemical extractions and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Allophane was dissolved from clay samples using 0.15 M acid oxalate solution while silicon and aluminum were dissolved using both 0.15 M acid oxalate and 0.3 M sodium citrate solutions. XRD analyses were done for the treated and untreated samples. For the chemically extracted samples, the clay samples were treated with bicarbonate citrate solution for the removal of iron oxides after the dissolution treatments then saturated with K and Mg ions for XRD analyses. Results of the XRD patternd of the untreated and treated samples indicated the interlayer materials as a hydroxy-interlayered form for vermiculite (HIV). Between the two dissolution treatments, the 0.3 M sodium citrate treatment was found to be more effective in removing the interlayer materials than the 0.15 M acid oxalate treatment by allowing interlayer expansion and collapse.

Authors:   Visayas State University, Philippines, Gerona Maria Anabelle , Pasa Arturo , Mangaoang Eduardo , Gravoso Rotacio
Published: November 2020

Two whiteboards were installed at the office of the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Maasin City, Southern Leyte, as a tool for improving the flow of timber marketing information. The boards contain list of registered tree plantations, including theri location and the estimated volume at harvest and list of buyers in the locality. Focus group discussions with timber dealers, agricultural technologists and CENRO personnel indicated the potentials of the whiteboards for improving timber information flow. It established a link between farmers and buyers, and farmers are encouraged to register their trees so that their names would appear in the list. Buyers, on the other hand, are able to locate the farmers and the tree species they have available. According to the extension workers, the whiteboards made the monitoring of tree farms easy. Considering the utility of the information contained in the whiteboard, farmers suggested that each barangay be provided with the same list on bond paper. Alternative means suggested to improve dissemination of timber marketing information is through the local radio station, local cable television channel, newspapers, and through the extension workers.

Authors: Kaur Tajinder , Kumar Dinesh , Walia Ekta , Sandhu Manjit
Published: November 2020

In medical image processing, image denoising has become a very essential exercise all through the diagnose. Negotiation between the preservation of useful diagnostic information and noise suppression must be treasured in medical images. In case of ultrasonic images a special type of acoustic noise, technically known as speckle noise, is the major factor of image quality degradation. Many denoising techniques have been proposed for effective suppression of speckle noise. Removing noise from the original image or signal is still a challenging problem for researchers. In this paper, a Curvelet transform based denoising with improved thresholds is proposed for ultrasound images.
Reduction of Context Switches due to Task Synchronization in Uniprocessor and Multiprocessor Platform
Authors: Paul Arya , Pillai Anju S.
Published: November 2020

The problem of frequent context switches in multitasking is a real scheduling overhead which wastes extra CPU cycles, memory and causes much delay in scheduling. This paper focuses on reducing the context switches that result due to blocking when jobs are required to synchronize. The Priority Ceiling Protocol (PCP) is used to synchronize the tasks in uniprocessor as well as multiprocessor platforms. The jobs are scheduled using Earliest Deadline First (EDF) policy. The simulation results show that the context switches are reduced by about 20% on an average using our technique of avoiding context switches due to blocking.
Emotional and Cognitive Components of Ethnic Identity
Authors: Mishkina Marina
Published: November 2020

The author regards schoolchildren’s awareness and affective evaluation of their belonging to an ethnic community to be among the essential social issues. The paper investigates age-related characteristics of schoolchildren’s ethnic identity. The presented empirical study involved the investigation of emotional and value-oriented components of ethnic identity in schoolchildren of two age groups. The obtained results show that ethnic identity of schoolchildren is mostly complete and constant by the end of adolescence. The awareness of belonging to an ethnic group is of high priority to all adolescent schoolchildren, while the emotional and value-oriented components of this belonging appear of little significance to them. For younger schoolchildren nationality is mostly important, while older schoolchildren attach most significance to the language, emotional and sensory components of ethnic identity.
How to Boost Faculty Research Performance in HEI’s to Improve Intellectual Property by Integrating it with Faculty Compensation – A “Theory of Accountability” based Framework
Authors: Aithal P. S.
Published: November 2020

The objective of campus based higher education is now shifting from mass education to
customized education and in such model involving students in research by faculty members is an essential part. Such research focused higher education model not only benefits the students but also provides an opportunity for the institution to create intellectual property in its name. To encourage faculty members to be involved in research and publications, higher education institutions (HEIs) are trying to find various strategies. Faculty compensation is one of the important strategies in higher education institutions as faculty members are the brain of the system and creators of an intellectual asset to the institution. Making faculty compensation dynamic is a very attractive and effective way in order to involve faculty members in research and publications. In this paper, we have studied the changing objectives of autonomous HEIs like private universities towards developing Intellectual property by shifting their focus towards research and publications using their financial autonomy. As a part of such initiatives, an improved model of faculty compensation is proposed based on Annual Performance Based Component (APBC) and discussed how it adds value to the HEIs by inspiring the faculty member’s involvement and accountability to create a tangible asset of intangible intellectual property. The paper also discusses the cases of pessimistic expectations, most-likely expectations, and optimistic expectations of faculty performance and its financial implications on the institution by simulating these estimates.

A New Attitude-Behaviour (AB) Theory for Organizational Leadership
Authors: Aithal P. S. , Aithal Shubhrajyotsna
Published: November 2020

The organizational fate depends on a committed effective decision maker who can predict the future business situations based on various affecting parameters on the organizational business. The right decisions taken at right time can elevate an organization as a winning organization and the decision maker can transform himself as an acceptable leader. Such decisions can also decide the fate of the organization along with the livelihood of its employees. A winning leader is an asset of an organization and the employees are directly and indirectly get the benefits of such a leader. If the leader fails in predicting the future of a profit oriented organization or not for profit organizations, the employees are directly going to be the victims of such wrong decisions. Leaders should able to make a correct judgment while taking decisions based on effective predictions by using predictive analysis framework. The attitude of the leader plays an important role while making decisions on solving organizational/individual problems. In Simon’s model of decision making, the attitude of the leader decides his ability to identify a problem, finding alternative solutions, analysing these alternatives to find optimum alternative, and finally to implement the best alternative to practically solve the problem. Attitude is the mental status of a human being which represents the emotions based on his/her feelings at a given time and controls his/her instantaneous behaviour. In this paper, we have developed a theory of winning leaders actions based on their behaviour in organizations. It is argued that the behaviour of a leader depends on his/her attitude which may be positive or negative depends on the four factors identified as feelings, emotions, belief, and environment. Thus a supportive, effective, good environment creates a positive attitude and hence winning leaders. The bad environment supports a negative attitude due to wrong belief, negative emotions, and frustrative feelings which are again depend on the present and past environment of the decision maker. The various components which are affecting leaders’ environmental factor and their important characteristic elements are identified.
Estrategia para la verificación de declaraciones PAC a partir de imágenes Sentinel-2 en Navarra
Authors: González-Audícana M. , López S. , Sola I. , Álvarez-Mozos J.
Published: November 2020

In June 2018, the European Commission approved a modification of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that, among other measures, proposed the use of Copernicus data for the verification process of farmers’ declarations. In recent years, several research efforts have been conducted to develop operational tools to accomplish this aim, among this the Interreg-POCTEFA PyrenEOS project. This article describes the methodological strategy proposed in the PyrenEOS project, which is based on the identification of the most probable crop using the Random Forests algorithm. Originally, the strategy builds a training sample from the CAP declarations file based on their NDVI time series. In addition, a series of rules are proposed to establish the level of uncertainty in the classification, and the criteria used to represent each parcel in the verification map with a simple colour coding (traffic light), where green represents correctly declared parcels, red indicates that the declaration is dubious, and orange corresponds to parcels with a high classification uncertainty. This verification strategy has been applied to two Agricultural Regions of Navarre, during an agricultural campaign where valuable field inspections were available, with a sampling intensity of 7% of the declared parcels. The results obtained, report overall accuracies close to 80% when the most probable crop was considered, and 90% when the two most probable crops were considered. This proves it is possible to identify correctly declared parcels (green parcels) with an error below 1%. Orange and red parcels should be considered for further analysis and inspection by technicians from the paying agencies, though they represent a small percentage of declarations (~6% of parcels), and include most of the wrong declarations.

Published: November 2020

Abstract. In 2018, large parts of northern Europe were affected by an extreme drought. A better understanding of the characteristics and the large-scale atmospheric circulation driving such events is of high importance to enhance drought forecasting and mitigation.
This paper examines the historical extremeness of the May–August 2018 meteorological situation and the accompanying meteorological and hydrological (streamflow and groundwater) drought. Further, it investigates the relation between the large-scale atmospheric circulation and summer streamflow in the Nordic region.
In May and July 2018, record-breaking temperatures were observed in large parts of northern Europe associated with blocking systems centred over Fennoscandia and sea surface temperature anomalies of more than 3 ∘C in the Baltic Sea.
Extreme meteorological drought, as indicated by the 3-month Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI3) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI3), was observed in May and covered large parts of northern Europe by July.
Streamflow drought in the Nordic region started to develop in June, and in July 68 % of the stations had record-low or near-record-low streamflow. Extreme streamflow conditions persisted in the southeastern part of the region throughout 2018.
Many groundwater wells had record-low or near-record-low levels in July and August. However, extremeness in groundwater levels and (to a lesser degree) streamflow showed a diverse spatial pattern. This points to the role of local terrestrial processes in controlling the hydrological response to meteorological conditions.
Composite analysis of low summer streamflow and 500 mbar geopotential height anomalies revealed two distinct patterns of summer streamflow variability: one in western and northern Norway and one in the rest of the region. Low summer streamflow in western and northern Norway was related to high-pressure systems centred over the Norwegian Sea. In the rest of the Nordic region, low summer streamflow was associated with a high-pressure system over the North Sea and a low-pressure system over Greenland and Russia, resembling the pattern of 2018.
This study provides new insight into hydrometeorological aspects of the 2018 northern European drought and identifies large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns associated with summer streamflow drought in the Nordic region.
Novel semiactive suspension using a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE)-based absorber and adaptive neural network controller for systems with input constraints
Authors: Nguyen Xuan Bao , Komatsuzaki Toshihiko , Truong Hoa Thi
Published: November 2020

Abstract. For most existing semiactive systems, it is commonly known that the stability and tracking performance will deteriorate in a real application due to the input constraints and nonlinearity in the system. In this study, in order to overcome the above shortcomings, a novel bench-scale suspension plant using a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE)-based absorber accompanied with an
adaptive and global neural-network-based tracking controller is introduced.
The adaptive neural network (ANN) is used to estimate the uncertain dynamics of the quarter-car model. The novel scheme consists of three parts, including a conventional ANN controller dominating the active region of neurons, a robust controller serving as a temporary controller to pull back the state into the active region when the neural approximation falls outside, and a switch to be used to monitor the activation of the neural part and switch the control authority between the above two controllers. The controller ensures that a globally uniform ultimate boundedness can be achieved. Furthermore, an auxiliary design system was added to the controller in order to deal with the effects of input constraints, and the state was analyzed for the tracking of the stabilization. The control scheme ensures that the output of the system converges to the vicinity of a reference trajectory and all the signals are globally, uniformly, and ultimately bounded. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed controller can effectively suppress the vibrations of the semiactive quarter car.

Weeding out the Roots? Migrant Identity in A.M. Bakalar’s Polish-British Fiction
Authors: Bryla Martyna
Published: November 2020

Poles are one of the largest non-UK born ethnic groups in all countries and most regions of the United Kingdom. Since Poland’s accession to the European Union in May 2004, thousands of Poles have migrated to the UK, hoping for better professional opportunities and higher standards of living. It was thus only a matter of time before Poles started to put their experience of migration on paper. One example is A.M. Bakalar, whose literary debut, Madame Mephisto (2012), was promoted as the voice of the new wave of Polish migration and the first novel to be written in English by a Polish female author since Poland joined the EU in 2004. This article centres on Bakalar’s protagonist, a thirty-year-old Pole in London, with the aim of revealing how cultural myths and beliefs feed into the process of identity formation and what it takes for the experience of migration to go awry. By exploring Magda’s problematic relationship with her home country, represented as oppressive and insular, this article inquiries into the nature of contemporary migrant experience and the role which national identity plays in the process of cultural adjustment.
Las escenas de orantes o danzantes durante la primera Edad del Hierro en la Península Ibérica: a propósito de un fragmento pintado estilo San Pedro II de Alarcos (Ciudad Real)
Authors: Naranjo Pedro Miguel
Published: November 2020

En este artículo se analizan las escenas de orantes o danzantes de la península ibérica durante la Primera Edad del Hierro a raíz del hallazgo de una escena de este tipo representada en un fragmento de cerámica estilo San Pedro II de Alarcos (Poblete-Ciudad Real, Ciudad Real), un tema escasamente representado en esta fase cultural y que supone un unicum para esta producción a mano con decoración pintada en rojo. Aparte de valorar los paralelos y los posibles medios de transmisión de esta escena, así como los precedentes en las culturas peninsulares, se estudia el simbolismo que pudo haber tenido en la religiosidad de la población local que elaboró esta cerámica. Así, se ha planteado su relación con el mundo funerario y su integración dentro del discurso simbólico del ciclo vital teniendo en cuenta la iconografía de este momento. Además, se presenta el análisis de DRX realizado sobre la pieza y una muestra de C-14 que ayuda a comprender aspectos como el origen o la cronología de esta producción tan característica de la Primera Edad del Hierro.
Currículo e práticas docentes durante a pandemia de 2020
Authors: Lima Michelle Castro , Azevedo Sabrina David de , Nascimento Ana Lúcia Ribeiro do
Published: November 2020

Pensar currículo e prática docente é compreender o currículo como uma construção cultural diretamente ligada à forma de organização social, logo nem ele nem as práticas docentes são neutros e imparciais. Dessa forma, buscamos discutir o campo do currículo como um espaço de disputas e como as práticas docentes se dão nesse espaço. O presente artigo expõe as práticas escolares realizadas no estado de Goiás em tempos pandêmicos. No momento em que o mundo enfrenta a crise causada pela COVID-19, o sistema educacional enfrenta o desafio de continuar o ensino e a aprendizagem com aulas remotas. Sob a perspectiva curricular nos propomos a analisar as práticas de ensino. Dificuldade em atingir todo os alunos da rede estadual é uma das realidades que nós professores enfrentamos. A demasiada burocracia do ensino remoto e o despreparo na utilização das tecnologias de informação são outros aspectos que dificultam a construção do conhecimento. A pesquisa apresenta a experiência de professoras em laborar com o desafio de manter o interesse dos alunos nas aulas não presenciais e, além disso, pondera acerca das dificuldades de acesso enfrentadas pela comunidade escolar.
Investigation of the Interpersonal Metafunction in A S Ogundimu’s A Silly Season
Authors: Boukari Noureni
Published: November 2020

People use language to interact. In interacting, they take various social roles. Grasping the specific roles thus played by interactants and their implications in a text is the finality of the study of the interpersonal metafunction in Systemic Functional Linguistics. This paper explores the interpersonal metafunction in A silly season, a novel by A. S. Ogundimu. Based on text exploration for mood patterns, especially the choice of mood types and modality features, the investigation reveals unusual tenor dimensions in the corpus under consideration. It ultimately appears that A silly season is not just about bribery, but it mostly relates some social malaise and threat of disruption due to a single individual’s firm attempt to sow or restore the sense of rectitude within a corrupt, rotten society.
