impunidad de la dictadura franquista
Authors: García de las Heras González Mariano
Published: February 2020

La represión ejercida por el franquismo permanece impune durante la etapa constitucional iniciada tras el fallecimiento del dictador. Esta carencia de la democracia española impugna los diversos compromisos internacionales relativos al cumplimiento de los derechos humanos firmados por los sucesivos gobiernos democráticos. El constante inmovilismo de las instituciones públicas impide la ejecución de unas políticas de memoria dirigidas hacia el reconocimiento de las víctimas de la represión franquista. El texto pretende ofrecer una respuesta a esta anomalía y propone una triple línea de reflexión basada en las disputas narrativas, las evidencias materiales y las ausencias políticas.

Merits and Limitations of Latent Profile Approaches to Teachers’ Achievement Goals: A Multi-Study Analysis
Authors: Daumiller Martin , Janke Stefan , Butler Ruth , Dickhäuser Oliver , Dresel Markus
Published: February 2020

Research on teacher goals has primarily followed a variable-centered approach, despite person-centered approaches having inspired achievement goal research in other domains. Following a multiple goal perspective, individuals pursue different combinations of goals—goal profiles—that might be differentially adaptive or maladaptive. We investigate how beneficial goal profiles may be for research on teacher motivation. Using data from three study sets (total N = 3,681) from differ-ent countries (Israel, Germany) and institution types (schools, universities), we ana-lyzed whether psychologically meaningful, coherent, and generalizable goal profiles can be found in different teacher populations. We investigated how such profiles are associated with self-efficacy and work-related distress, and compared their pre-dictive power to variable-centered analyses. We found six psychologically mean-ingful and largely generalizable goal profiles that, compared to individual goals, ex-plained little differences in self-efficacy and work-related distress. Given these find-ings, we critically evaluate achievement goal profiles as a means to study effects of teacher goals.

Authors: Xiao Qinyu , LAM Choi Shan Emma , Piara Muhrajan , Feldman Gilad
Published: February 2020

Status quo bias refers to people’s general preference to stick to, or continue with, a previously chosen option. In two pre-registered experiments with U.S. participants recruited on the Amazon Mechanical Turk (n1 = 311, n2 = 316), we attempted to replicate four decision scenarios (Question 1, 2, 4, and 6) from Samuelson and Zeckhauser (1988), the seminal article that provided the first experimental demonstration of the status quo bias. We found strong empirical support for the status quo bias in three decision scenarios out of the four, including budget allocation (Scenario 1/Question 1 in the original article), investment portfolios (Scenario 3/Question 2), and college job offers (Scenario 4/Question 4). However, we failed to find substantial support for the status quo bias in the wagon color choice scenario (Scenario 2/Question 6). We discuss the implications of our results and possible explanations using multiple accounts put forward in the status quo bias literature.

Authors: Hannemann Lena , Uhde Gesa , Thies Barbara
Published: February 2020

Die Lehrkraft-Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung (SWE) im Studium kann die spätere Berufstätigkeit von Lehrkräften langfristig positiv beeinflussen. Im deutschen Sprachraum fehlen Instrumente, die die Lehrkraft-SWE mit spezifischen Subskalen zu einem frühen Zeitpunkt im Studium messen. Vorgestellt wird eine adaptierte Skala basierend auf der Fragestruktur der Skala Lehrerselbstwirksamkeit (WirkLehr; Schmitz & Schwarzer, 2000) sowie den Inhalten der Teachers‘ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES; Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy, 2001) mit den Subskalen Engagement, Instruktionen und Classroom-Management. Die psychometrischen Kennwerte der adaptierten Skala wurden mittels konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalyse anhand von N = 618 Studierenden (drittes Semester) überprüft. Es zeigte sich ein besserer Modellfit für ein Drei-Faktoren- gegenüber einem Ein- Faktor-Modell. Bezüglich der drei Subskalen ergaben sich positive Korrelationen mit WirkLehr, negative Korrelationen mit dem Stresserleben (Perceived Stress Scale; Büssing, 2011) sowie positive Korrelationen mit einer zweiten Messung einen Monat später. Zusätzlich wurde die adaptierte Skala im Rahmen einer Classroom-Management-Trainingsevaluation eingesetzt. Hier zeigte sich eine höhere Lehrkraft-SWE einer Trainings- gegenüber einer Kontrollgruppe für die Bereiche Classroom- Management und Instruktionen. Aufgrund der zufriedenstellenden Validitäts- und Reliabilitätsbelege kann die adaptierte Skala zur Messung der spezifischen Lehrkraft-SWE bei Studierenden eingesetzt werden.

Optimal selection of financial risk investment portfolio based on random matrix method
Authors: Tian Jie , Zhao Kun
Published: February 2020

The optimization of investment portfolio is the key to financial risk investment. In this study, the investment portfolio was optimized by removing the noise of covariance matrix in the mean-variance model. Firstly, the mean-variance model and noise in covariance matrix were briefly introduced. Then, the correlation matrix was denoised by KR method (Sharifi S, Grane M, Shamaie A) from random matrix theory (RMT). Then, an example was given to analyze the application of the method in financial stock investment portfolio. It was found that the stability of the matrix was improved and the minimum risk was reduced after denoising. The study of minimum risk under different M values and stock number suggested that calculating the optimal value of M and stock number based on RMT could achieve optimal financial risk investment portfolio result. It shows that RMT has a good effect on portfolio optimization and is worth promoting widely.
A distributed control strategy of microgrid based on multi-agent consensus algorithm
Authors: Tao Yuting , Lu Ning
Published: February 2020

In an islanded microgrid with distributed generators (DGs), on account of the influence of feeder impedance, load and other factors, it is difficult to dispatch output power reasonably by means of droop control, therefore the secondary control is employed to solve this problem. However, the convention methods may fail to achieve the expected effect. In this context, an improved distributed control strategy based on multi-agent consensus algorithm is proposed in this paper. A virtual leader is set to track the balance of power. Through the mutual communication between DGs, it can realize the flexible distribution of load power and has good convergence. By introducing the integral controller on the basis of conventional droop control, the droop curve can move adaptively to maintain frequency and voltage stable. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and the performance of anti-communication failure are verified in MATLAB/Simulink simulation platform.
A new time coding approach for CTVEP-based brain-computer interface
Authors: Ma Teng , Zhao Xuezhuan
Published: February 2020

The chromatic transient visual evoked potential (CTVEP)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) can provide safer and more comfortable stimuli than the traditional VEP-based BCIs due to its low frequency change and no luminance variation in the visual stimulation. However, it still generates relatively few codes that correspond to input commands to control the outside devices, which limits its application in the practical BCIs to some extent. Aiming to obtain more codes, we firstly proposes a new time coding technique to CTVEP-based BCI by utilizing a combination of two 4-bit binary codes to construct four 8-bit binary codes to increase the control commands to extend its application in practice. In the experiment, two time-encoded isoluminant chromatic stimuli are combined to serve as different commands for BCI control, and the results show that the high performance based on the new time coding approach with the average accuracy up to 90.28% and average information transfer rate up to 27.78 bits/min for BCI can be achieved. It turns out that the BCI system based on the proposed method is feasible, stable and efficient, which makes the method very suitable for the practical application of BCIs, such as military, entertainment and medical enterprise.
Research on modeling and fault diagnosis of inter-turn short fault of permanent magnet synchronous motor
Authors: Hu Hongqian , Shi Weifeng , Venditti Benjamin
Published: February 2020

The stator winding inter-turn short fault of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is a common motor fault with high probability. If this fault is not detected and handled in time, small initial fault will rapidly develop into other faults such as grounding short, inter-phase short, winding short et al., and even the motor damage. In order to diagnose the inter-turn short fault of PMSM, this paper firstly builds the model of the inter-turn short fault of PMSM, and then proposes a fast and simple fault diagnosis method for extracting the features of the inter-turn short fault under noise. For the first time, by introducing the full-short-circuit resistance Rf that relates with the fault severity factor δ and by estimating the inductance of inter-turn short fault motor on-line according to the three principles of the inductance calculation, which is used in the inter-turn short fault of transformer winding, the inter-turn short analysis model of PMSM is deduced. The model can be used to simulate the performance not only the health of PMSM but also the fault of inter-turn short fault of PMSM in one phase winding. This paper analyses the transient and steady state performance of 3-phase unbalanced current, speed and electromagnetic torque ripple and the relationship between full-short-circuit resistance and short current under fault condition. Finally, a fast and simple on-line fault diagnosis method of PMSM with inter-turn short fault is proposed based on phase sensitive detection (PSD) algorithm. The method uses the fundamental and third harmonic features of inter-turn short fault current. The simulation results show that the model can be well suited for the simulation of PMSM with inter-turn short fault, and the method can effectively extract the features and diagnose the fault.

Authors: Mohand Arab Samia , Taghezout Noria , Benkaddour Fatima Zohra
Published: February 2020

In this paper, a decision support tool is developed in order to assist senior managers to choose a dynamic community detection algorithm. The main objective behind this novel approach is to improve the search strategy of algorithms to decrease the search time of the best fitting one according to the study case. The suggested study ranks existing dynamic community detection algorithms in order to find the most appropriate one according to some preferences. For that purpose, we need a multi-criteria ranking method such as PROMETHEE II. This latter allows ranking alternatives from the best to the least according to some criteria extracted from the analysis of a provided questionnaire on dynamic community detection algorithms. The process of our approach is as follows: first, the questionnaire is provided to some experts in community detection domain. Second, answers are collected and analyzed in order to extract criteria. Third, a ranking of the algorithms with PROMETHEE II is operated according some extracted criteria and user preferences. Finally, the first ranked algorithm by PROMETHEE II is provided to the user in order to detect the communities.

Published: February 2020

EFL Learners’ distress in listening to English records in the classroom is one of the matters commonly discovered in Indonesian middle scholars. Listening activities bring students to the mastery of other skills; speaking, writing, and reading. Total Physical Response was created to enhance the students’ ability in listening to a spoken foreign language discourse by giving a physical response when they hear aparticular command. This study works toward finding the effect of Total Physical Response utilization on students’ listening comprehension at MTs Negeri 4 Banyuwangi.The samples of this study were two groups of students; 30 students of VII A and 30 students of VII B. Class VII B was assigned as the control group, while Class VII A as the experimental group where both pre-test and post-test were conducted to each group. The experimental group was taught by using TPR, while in the control group learning is carried out in the way teachers normally teach, that is using Three-phase technique.The hypothesis was tested using independent sample t-test and analyzed by using SPSS. Total Physical Response could administer some refinement on students’ listening, which is evidently manifested in the result of the post-test. Students in experiment group achieved better score than those in control group. This study suggests the use of Total Physical Response to the early middle scholars as an alternative to other teaching methods.

Authors: Garg Shikha , Hemal Alok , Goyal Parul , Arora Shilpa Khanna
Published: February 2020

Background: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is highly prevalent in healthy individuals. Studies suggest that Vitamin D plays an important role in immune system. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of VDD in Indian children living with HIV (CLHIV) and to find out the risk factors associated with it. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional comparative study conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital of North India. A total of 52 CLHIV were enrolled consecutively from the pediatric HIV center and an equal number of age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled from the pediatric outpatient department. Serum Vitamin D levels of cases and controls were assessed and compared. Various risk factors, both classical (age, sex, sunlight exposure, average dietary intake of calcium, and Vitamin D) and disease related (WHO and immunological stage, duration, and regimen of treatment), were evaluated for VDD in CLHIV. Results: The prevalence of VDD in cases and controls was 69.23% and 19.23%, respectively (p<0.001). The mean serum Vitamin D level of the cases (18.24±11.2 ng/dL) was significantly lower than that of controls (31.58±17.31 ng/dL) (p<0.001). The risk factor that predicted the occurrence VDD in CLHIV was a poor intake of Vitamin D. Conclusion: CLHIV are more prone to VDD; hence, there is a need to regularly evaluate, supplement, and monitor for Vitamin D status in these children.
Effect of 100% human milk-derived fortifier on growth of premature infants with birth weight of 1000–1500 g
Authors: Pejaver Ranjan Kumar , Maneesha P H , Lingaraju Subbanna
Published: February 2020

Background: Preterm birth has the highest risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Nutrition plays a key role in the growth and development of a preterm infant. Fortification of expressed breast milk is followed to provide an optimal nutrition and a faster catch up growth. The new 100% human milk-derived fortifier (HMDF) can help in providing a safe nutritional option for a premature infant. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the feed tolerance and impact of a new 100% HMDF on growth outcomes of preterm infants. Materials and Methods: In a single-center study, exclusively human milk-fed preterm infants (1000–1500 g birth weight) were chosen to receive human milk fortified with a new 100% HMDF. The fortifier was initiated when the enteral feed volume reached 100 ml/kg/day and was administered until discharge. The primary outcome of the study was to assess feed tolerance and the secondary endpoints included growth parameters. Results: The cohort study comprised 13 infants with a mean gestational age of 31.64±2.2 weeks and birth weight of 1314.62±110.1 g. During the study period, feed interruptions were nil and none of the infants showed any adverse events of clinical significance. Growth outcomes recorded at the end of the study period showed a mean weight gain of 25.97±7.7 g/day, mean length gain of 0.32±0.23 cm/week, and mean head circumference gain of 0.39±0.20 cm/week. The mean weight growth velocity of the infants was 18.37±5.1 g/kg/day. Conclusion: Preterm infants who received a new 100% HMDF demonstrated feed tolerance and weight gain without any clinically significant record of adverse events. The findings indicate that the new HMDF is a safe option for providing an exclusive human milk-based diet. However, a study with a larger study population may be required to reinforce the findings of this study.

Authors: Salihović Davor
Published: February 2020

Following the Ottoman conquest of the Despotate of Serbia in 1459 and the Kingdom of Bosnia in 1463, a new phase of Hungarian-Ottoman relations was introduced. With the disappearance of the Hungarian "buffer" towards the Ottoman-held areas, the territories of the two states became adjacent, and their mutual frontier had to be negotiated afresh. By looking into all available material, Latin, Slavonic, and Ottoman, this paper aims to trace negotiations between the two sides in the period of King Matthias Corvinus’ reign and discern their content and application with regard to borders. It tackles the demarcation of the border between the two sides, and highlights the mechanisms employed for its institutional maintenance.

Дія вічевого права в Київській Русі в період правління Святополка Ізяславовича

Стаття присвячується дослідженню дії вічевого права Київської Русі в період правління Святополка Ізяславовича. Населення Київської Русі завдяки вічу виступало повноцінним суб’єктом влади в регіонах. Це реалізовувалось через укладання домовленостей між віча та князями. Фактично ті зобов’язання, які брали на себе віче і князі, формували вічеве право. Самі князі у відносинах один з одним регулювали свої відносини на базі заповіту Ярослава Мудрого та його наступників. Діти князів постійно змінювали умови батьківського заповіту на користь своїх одноособових інтересів, що й породило князів ізгоїв. Поява ізгоїв та боротьба за великокнязівський стіл загострилась і в період правління Святополка Ізяславовича, коли здійснювалася спроба примирення за рахунок нових домовленостей між князями. Для зупинення міжкнязівської боротьби 1097 року відбувається Любецький з’їзд, на якому князі намагаються порозумітись. Однак це не зупинило боротьби, адже сам Великий князь порушив умови договору. У цей час віче все активніше починає брати участь у політичному житті Київської Русі. Київське і Новогородське віча починають укладати договори, які своїми умовами суперечили княжому праву. Лествінічна система зазнає кризи.

Con el objeto de tener una visión amplia sobre los conflictos laborales, fue necesario realizar investigaciones en dos empresas que demostraban tener problemas en su funcionamiento, investigación realizada en la planta de producción de muebles de madera “El Laurel” y la comercializadora de alimentos “La Basta”, las mismas que contaban con más de cincuenta empleados entre oficinistas, personal de servicio, operadores y obreros, las cuales se encuentran  ubicadas en la ciudad de Riobamba, provincia de Chimborazo, república del Ecuador.

Para obtener todo tipo de información en las relaciones laborales, se preparó un cronograma de trabajo y un cuestionario a fin de separar los tipos de conflictos que se los denominó “conflictos entre los empleadores”, “conflictos entre los empleadores y trabajadores” y “conflictos entre los trabajadores”, como así los selecciona José Dávalos (2000) en su libro.

De toda la información recopilada, fue necesario estructurar el árbol de problemas,  un instrumento utilizado en planificación estratégica y de éste se pudo elaborar el árbol de objetivos, con lo cual se visualizó con claridad y en detalle los conflictos existentes en las dos empresas de nuestra investigación, cuyo resultado nos dio que existían una serie de infracciones de carácter legal, violando la Ley de Compañías y los Códigos de Trabajo, Civil y Penal, ante lo cual se procedió a la prestación de asesoramiento de carácter Legal y Administrativo, y de esta manera, se logró legalizar las empresas, establecer normas y fundamentalmente socializar ciertos mandatos para corregir el comportamiento de todos los miembros de las empresas con  la finalidad de buscar su armonía y consecuentemente la estabilidad , desarrollo organizacional y un ambiente de control adecuado

En la provincia de Cotopaxi, en la ciudad de Latacunga específicamente en la Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi, en los estudiantes de primer semestre de la carrera de Diseño Gráfico existe un desconocimiento sobre la historia del diseño, sus teorías y fundamentos y al igual de una de las festividades populares y tradicionales de la ciudad que es la Mama Negra. Para fomentar el interés en las costumbres y tradiciones de la ciudad, lugar donde residen los estudiantes, se estableció realizar un estudio y análisis del personaje principal de la festividad, la Mama Negra y de su trajería que posee decoraciones y ornamentos distintivos cargados de simbolismo a los cuales se aplicó los movimientos, escuelas y técnicas propias de la historia del diseño para reinterpretar estructuras compositivas. Para el desarrollo de la parte grafica se usó una metodológica planteada de tres fases, con un tipo de investigación descriptiva transversal, con un diseño de investigación bibliográfico y de campo, basándose en la técnica de la observación y como instrumento fichas de observación trabajando con una muestra conformada por 37 estudiantes. Se obtiene como resultado estructuras compositivas basadas en la trajería del personaje Mama Negra, patrones ornamentales con acabados estilísticos que ayudan a recuperar nuestros valores e identidad cultural.

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media is a disease that is known worldwide and that is more common in developing countries. Many techniques are available for operating the disease.
Objectives: To compare outcome between Inside-out & Outside-in mastoidectomy.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare outcome between Inside-Out & Outside-in mastoidectomy. Period of study was from July’ 2010 to March, 2012 in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery, BSMMU- Dhaka
Result: majority of the patient were found dry mastoid cavity 13(68.42%) and rest were wet mastoid cavity 6 (31.58%).On the other hand in outside–in mastoidectomy dry mastoid cavity were 80.6% and wet were 19.4%. In inside-out mastoidectomy, among 8 attic cholesteatoma cases 5(62.50%) had gained hearing (average 6.66 dB) and 3(37.50%) had no gain or loss of hearing (average 3.89dB); among 11 entire mastoid bowl cholesteatoma cases 3(27.27%) had gained of hearing (average 6.11dB) and 8(72.73%) had no gain or loss of hearing (average 6.87dB)

Published: February 2020

Background: Accurate diagnosis is important for planning of management of the congenital cystic neck mass. Clinical history, physical examination and appropriate knowledge of embryology and anatomy of the cervical region frequently allow the differential diagnosis to be narrowed and ultrasound especially high frequency ultrasound help to further confirmation. USG has been used as the initial imaging procedure in the evaluation of them. Ultrasound not only confirms the cystic nature of the lesion but also evaluates exact location, size, extent, relation to the surrounding structures and internal characteristic of mass.
Objectives: To establish the usefulness of ultrasound in the evaluation of congenital cystic neck masses.
Methods: From January 2014 to March 2018 a total 50 patients with clinically suspected congenital cystic mass in the neck region were selected who under want operative treatment and histopathological examination. A through history taking and physical examination were done then patient were scanned with gray scale ultrasound and colour Doppler in necessary case. Histopathological report collected from the patient and compare with USG diagnosis.
Results: In USG 37 patient diagnosed as congenital lesions and 13 patient diagnosed as non-congenital lesion. Among the congenital lesions thyroglossal duct cyst-19, branchial cleft cyst-12, cystic hygroma-4, hemangioma-1 and epidermoid cyst-1. In histopathology 32 patient diagnosed as congenital lesion and 18 diagnosed as non-congenital lesion. Among the congenital lesions thyroglossal duct cyst-18, branchial cleft cyst-8, cystic hygroma-4, hemangioma-1 and epidermoid cyst-1. Among the 19 USG diagnosed thyroglossal duct cyst 17 is confirmed by histopathology and 2 is differ. Among the 12 USG diagnosed branchial cleft cyst 7 is confirmed by histopathology and 5 is differ. Over all sensitivity of USG-93.7% and specificity-64% and accuracy-74%.
Conclusion: USG is a useful modality for the diagnosis of congenital cystic mass in the cervical region.
