Authors: Di Masi Fabrizio
Published: April 2020

Introdução:Após a divulgação da inclusão da prova de maratonas aquáticas na olimpíada de Pequim em 2008, o esporte natação em águas abertas viu seu número de novos praticantes aumentar muito. A natação em águas abertas é caracterizada por provas nos mares, lagos, lagoas, represas, rios e outros espelhos d´água. No Brasil com sua extensa costa e bacias hidrográficas gigantes, fornece locais excelentes para a prática de tal modalidade, o que se reflete num grande número de adeptos. Faz algum tempo que o anúncio de incidentes fatais nas provas de águas abertas tem se tornando mais comum. Com isso alguns autores vêm debruçando-se sobre o tema buscando esclarecer o por quê dessas mortes.Objetivo: O objetivo deste comentário foi descrever as possíveis causas dos eventos fatais em águas abertas e sugerir ações para tornar mais segura esta atividade.Conclusão: Apesar da dificuldade de determinar as causas mortis dos participantes de provas de águas abertas, é possível levantar hipóteses sobre prováveis causas, a saber: temperatura elevada da água, síndrome do QT longo, conflito autonômico, pânico. Como sugestão para evitar essas mortes sugere-se: triagem médica rigorosa, evitar temperaturas elevadas, evitar temperaturas muito baixas, provas que obedeçam a critérios de segurança (controle do número de participantes, equipe de resgate experiente e em número adequado, UTI móvel, condições ambientais e climáticas favoráveis).Deaths in Open Water Swimming, Why?Introduction: Since the inclusion of aquatic marathon competitions in the Olympic games of Beijing 2008, there was an increased number of new open water swimmers. Open water swimming is characterized by competitions at seas, lakes, lagoons, dams, rivers and other water mirrors. In Brazil, the extensive coast and enormous watersheds, offers excellent locations for the modality, which reflected by the great number of adepts. For some time, the announcement of fatal incidents has become more frequent. Thus, some authors have been researching about it and trying to understand those deaths.Objective: The aim of this commentary was to describe the possible causes of the fatal events in open waters and to suggest safety actions for such activity.Conclusion: Although there is difficulty in determining causa mortis in practitioners at open water competition, it is possible to raise hypothesis about possible causes: elevated water temperature, long QT syndrome, autonomic conflict, pulmonary edema, and panic. Aiming to prevent deaths is recommended: rigorous medical screening, avoid elevated water temperatures, avoid low temperatures, competitions must obey safety criteria (control of the number of participants, experienced rescue team and in adequate number, ambulance, favorable ambiental and climatic conditions).

Influência do alongamento muscular sobre o tempo de reação manual
Authors: Silveira Anderson Luiz Bezerra da , De Figueiredo Júlia Araujo , Vianna Ribeiro Wallace Martins , Costa César Rafael Marins
Published: April 2020

Introdução: O alongamento muscular é uma prática popularmente realizada com o propósito de melhorar a qualidade de vida e o desempenho em atividades físicas. Alguns estudos científicos relatam efeitos deletérios desta prática relacionadas às respostas mecânicas e neurais para a realização do movimento, os quais poderiam ser diretamente interferentes em variáveis como o tempo de reação manual (TRM), visto que, rapidez e precisão nesta variável são fundamentais  em diversas atividades da vida diária, em algumas profissões e, especialmente, para o desempenho em exercício.Objetivo: O presente comentário teve por objetivo examinar e discutir o efeito das diferentes técnicas e volumes de alongamento muscular sobre o TRM e suas consequências.Conclusão: O baixo volume de alongamento (≤ 30s), independentemente da técnica ou intensidade, não interfere sobre o TRM. Face ao que se apresenta na literatura sobre o tema, não é possível realizar julgamento conclusivo da associação de alto volume de alongamento (duração > 30s) com a resposta motora manual. Adicionalmente, é imperativo estudos que objetivem avaliar o efeito do alongamento sobre o TRM, em mulheres ou associado ao dimorfismo sexual.Influence of Muscle Stretching on Hand Reaction TimeIntroduction: Muscle stretching is a popular practice with the purpose of improving quality of life and performance in physical activities, although some scientific studies report negative effects related to mechanical and neural responses to the movement, which could directly interfere in variables such as hand reaction time (HRT). Since, speed and precision in this variable are fundamental in several activities of daily living, in some professions, and especially for performance in exercise.Objective: This commentary aims to examine the state of the art on the effect of different techniques and volumes of muscle stretching on HRT and its consequences.Conclusion: Literature suggests that stretching volume (≤ 30s), regardless of technique or intensity, is not able to interfere on HRT. On the other hand, it´s not possible to make a conclusive judgment on whether high stretching volume (> 30s) is able to compromise hand motor response. Additionally, other studies are imperative to evaluate the stretching effect on HRT for women, or its association to sexual dimorphism.

The aim of this study is to explore the actual extent of bullying in the primary schools of Latvia, and analyse the different types of bullying, the parents' awareness of the relationships between pupils, and the factors that influence the attitudes and ability of schools to deal with abuse. The objective of this study is finding a way of how to minimize bullying and promote understanding among pupils. The pupils, teachers and parents were asked to complete anonymous questionnaires, and the results were triangulated with the help of further interviews and informal conversations. The results show that children who have access to art and music classes show higher intelligence and they are less aggressive. In schools where sports classes are predominant, violence among students is more widespread.
Analysing the data obtained, it can be concluded that 42 % of children from Grades 1-4 have been exposed to bullying (the percentage is calculated from 100 completed questionnaires). It is almost every second child, although many of recorded bullying cases have happened only once, have not been severe, and have lasted only for a short period of time. Physical abuse is reported less frequently than emotional abuse – 20 %. There are some particularly cruel cases, when the bullies have been pupils from the older grades and even police has been involved, but no such cases were reported among children from Grades 1-4. 22 % of cases are related to emotional abuse, when a child is insulted or ridiculed for a long time. The reasons for this type of abuse varies, and there has been a case when mocking is directed towards a child with movement disorders.
The random incidents, when the classmates engage in argument or call some ugly names at each other, are not recorded as bullying if the situation did not escalate to a conflict and if the friendship did not suffer. From the research findings it can be concluded that the numbers of bullying cases in urban schools are higher than in rural schools. In comparison with the world statistics, Latvia takes the penultimate place with regards to bullying at schools (30,6 %).

The new basic school curriculum provides an opportunity to promote the development of student value system and responsibility in the pedagogical process. The emphasized requirements for Grade 9 graduates are: self-regulation, positive attitude, tolerance, personal responsibility, civic engagement, patriotism, and understanding of the important values of the society, ensuring the transfer and application of knowledge to the existing reality.
Summarizing the empirical research data, it can be concluded that the predominant values for Grade 9 pupils are family, friends, peers and concern about education. Some students find it difficult to name their own values and the values of Latvia. The students involved in the study can be described as responsible only in those areas that affect the respondents themselves on a short term basis. Research highlights the lack of responsibility particularly in such categories as students` ability to take responsibility for their country, their future and their education. This means that in the pedagogical process, during the implementation of the conceptual framework of the new basic education curriculum, it is necessary to promote students' understanding in order to develop a long-term perspective.

In the process of globalisation and integration, human knowledge and skills become outdated or insufficient very quickly. One needs to constantly improve them, as well as acquire new knowledge and skills to be able to fit in with the society and be competitive in the labour market.
Lifelong learning is topical both for science and in the practice. In its context, a number of objectives are pursued, which are relevant to all citizens, depending on their age, place of residence, and social status. The objectives meet the interests and abilities of each individual, as well as the needs of economic development. Lifelong learning policies are related to personal fulfilment and determination which provide sustainable competences for work and personal growth. Lifelong learning is an adult education where the students themselves play a major role. In today’s post-industrial era, the responsibility for competitiveness in the labour market is increasing. In the labour market, the main indicator for person’s assessment is professional competence. Professional competence is not just the knowledge; it is skills and responsibility in a particular work situation. This particular work situation can be experienced in practical life, i.e. applying pragmatic approach to learning, however, not all educational institutions can provide it, and not every company is interested in investing in common vocational training. As a result, professionalism is one’s own responsibility, and self-directed informal learning is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways of how to achieve it.
Pieaugušo mācīšanās – pieaugušo pašattīstība
Authors: Ozola Inese
Published: April 2020

Rapid progress in the world regions illustrates the importance of innovative, progressive and quality education as one of the key factors for economic competitiveness. There is a need to raise the overall skill level to meet the needs of the labour market and enable people to play an active role in today's society. Education raises people's self-confidence, promotes career development, and serves as a tool for personal growth. The future society expects the individual to be the initiator of various changes and their implementer, using knowledge, skills and creative approaches to problem solving. At present, every individual needs to be involved in a variety of change processes that are first and foremost related to the implementation of their needs and the ways of doing it.
It is difficult for an adult to adapt to the demands of the new age. Various problem solving paths are being sought to facilitate the adaptation of society to the new circumstances. They are most widely described in the European Commission's White Paper (1998), which states that there is a need to:
1. Focus on comprehensive learning.
2. Develop understanding of the essence of things.
3. Understand the interactions between the past and the present.
4. Develop the potential for employment and economic life of everyone by focusing on:
• foreign language knowledge,
• communication skills,
• ability to work in a team, etc.
From the above we can conclude that adult learning is one of the most pressing issues of modern society.

THE	DEVELOPMENT	OF	ANTI‐CORRUPTION	ENVIRONMENT	IN	LITHUANIAN	PUBLIC	SECTOR:	BEST	PRACTICE	AND	EXPERIENCE
Authors: Kalesnykas Raimundas
Published: April 2020

The article analyses the preconditions for the establishment of an anti-corruption environment in the public sector organization and demonstrates Lithuania's best practices in this area. Corruption as a multi - structured global phenomenon undermines good governance, public trust in public sector organizations and causes serious damage to the functioning of those organizations. One of the essential aspiration of the Lithuanian Government is to reduce the extent of corruption, increase transparency, fairness and openness in the public sector.
Research focus on justification the hypothesis, that the public sector organizations must play an active role in the field of combating corruption, creating an unfavourable environment for corruption prevail. The purpose of the research is to show the added value for the development of anti-corruption environment in the public sector as one of the effective tool minimizing the extent of corruption. Research results shows that legislation alone is not sufficient to solve corruption problem. Public sector organizations usually do not have effective anti-corruption tools to prevent and manage various forms of corruption (bribery, nepotism, conflicts of interest, etc.). By conveying best practice, the author presented a new initiative of Lithuanian public sector organizations to develop anti-corruption environment aimed at minimizing the likelihood of manifestation of corruption.
Logical and comparative analysis, document analysis, problem analysis and systematic approach research methods are used analyzing issues related with the boosting effectiveness of combating corruption in the public sector. The author's position and concludes, that the development of an anti-corruption environment should become a strategic priority of the public sector organization, which requires the establishment of an effective management system of corruption prevention and the commitment shown by top management to ensure its functioning in a realistic rather than formal way.

FPGA Based Modified Fuzzy PID Controller for Pitch Angle of Bench-top Helicopter
Authors: Aldair Ammar
Published: April 2020

Fuzzy PID controller design is still a complex task due to the involvement of a large number of parameters in defining the fuzzy rule base. To reduce the huge number of fuzzy rules required in the normal design for fuzzy PID controller, the fuzzy PID controller is represented as Proportional-Derivative Fuzzy (PDF) controller and Proportional-Integral Fuzzy (PIF) controller connected in parallel through a summer. The PIF controller design has been simplified by replacing the PIF controller by PDF controller with accumulating output. In this paper, the modified Fuzzy PID controller design for bench-top helicopter has been presented. The proposed Fuzzy PID controller has been described using Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and implemented using the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board. The bench-top helicopter has been used to test the proposed controller. The results have been compared with the conventional PID controller and Internal Model Control Tuned PID (IMC-PID) Controller. Simulation results show that the modified Fuzzy PID controller produces superior control performance than the other two controllers in handling the nonlinearity of the helicopter system. The output signal from the FPGA board is compared with the output of the modified Fuzzy PID controller to show that the FPGA board works like the Fuzzy PID controller. The result shows that the plant responses with the FPGA board are much similar to the plant responses when using simulation software based controller.
A Robust Wavelet Based Watermarking Scheme For Digital Audio
Authors: Abdulsada Ayad
Published: April 2020

In this paper, a robust wavelet based watermarking scheme has been proposed for digital audio. A single bit is embedded in the approximation part of each frame. The watermark bits are embedded in two subsets of indexes randomly generated by using two keys for security purpose. The embedding process is done in adaptively fashion according to the mean of each approximation part. The detection of watermark does not depend on the original audio. To measure the robustness of the algorithm, different signal processing operations have been applied on the watermarked audio. Several experimental results have been conducted to illustrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed watermarked audio scheme.

Published: April 2020

Bayoud, a vascular disease of date palm, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (FOA) is the most damaging disease of date palm in Algeria, with no effective control strategy yet available. This research aims to esti-mate the antifusarium activity of the Olea europaea subsp. sylvestris tar growing in Bechar (Algeria) against FOA, the cause of Bayoud disease of the date palm. The values of physicochemical analysis of the tar such as density value, index of refraction, pH and dry matter percentage were also deter-mined. In order to identify FOA pathogenic isolates, a specific PCR assay was used to verify that the isolated strains were the Bayoud pathogen FOA. Tar extracted from O. europaea subsp. sylvestris was tested for its antifungal activity against FOA. The physicochemical analysis results of vegetable tar showed a density value of 1.08, an index of refraction 1.5110, a pH of about 3,7 and 35% of dry matter. The specific PCR analysis allowed absolutely that all the isolates corresponded well to the Bayoud pathogen. The results of the antifungal activity revealed that the O. europaea subsp. sylvestris tar has a great percentage of inhibition against FOA, with minimal inhibition concen-tration value 2,1 μg/ml. This confirms the possible implication of vegetable tar in triggering date palm defence against its pathogen and confers a prom-ising strategy for effective control of the bayoud disease.
Insights from the GMC’s ‘Fair to Refer’ Report
Authors: Pandya Buddhdev , Singhal Parag
Published: April 2020

The recent report commissioned by the GMC -‘Fair to Refer’ highlighted several issues. The report sighted inadequate induction and support from employers could be behind the high number of referrals of black, Asian and minority ethnic doctors to GMC investigations. ‘Fair to Refer’ hopes to stop doctors from getting caught up in unnecessary probes in the first place and focus on employers, rather than regulators or inspectors. While the report is generally welcomed by many organisations, one might think that this realisation is not new. The real problem may indeed be at a Board level where Non-executive members often fail to take their corporate responsibilities seriously and hold the executive to account. In the absence of an effective mechanism for meaningful engagement with clinicians and front-line professionals, the blame culture and the unsupportive mindset may remain unchanged.

Setiap bahasan dikupas dengan kajian yang dalam, maka tak heran bila mengundang dejak kagum orang yang membacanya dan menjadi bintang pada zamannya. Namun, secara bobot dan kualitas tulisan dan kajian yang disajikan. Tidak sedikit majalah Pembela Islam memuat artikel bantahan dalam berbagai masalah. Seperti dalam masalah fikih, hukum, ketuhanan, kebangsaan termasuk juga masalah Ahmadiyah dibahas dan dikupas secara tegas, jelas dan panjang lebar. Termasuk juga, majalah ini memuat ajakan berdebat atau diskusi dalam masalah agama dan kebangsaan. Yang saat itu tidaklah lazim dilakukan oleh pengurus majalah mana pun pada masa itu. Inilah salah satu keberanian yang nampak dari majalah Pembela Islam saat itu. Dan ini menjadi salah satu sebab mengapa majalah Pembela Islam menjadi majalah yang disegani dan diminati serta tentunya mempunyai banyak peminat pembacanya.

Tujuan Penelitian: Mengungkap hegemoni kekuasaan dalam suratkabar tentang pemberitaan Demonstrasi Aksi Bela Islam II ditampilkan pada Media Indonesia. Metode Penelitian: Kualitatif. Hasil Penelitian: Pemberitaan Aksi Bela Islam II (411) yang berlangsung pada Jum’at 4 November 2016, dalam berbagai media cetak sarat dengan muatan ideologis sehingga menghasilkan narasi teks berita yang berbeda. Penelitian ini berupaya menyoroti pemberitaan tersebut pada Suratkabar Media Indonesia, dari sudut pandang analisis naratif karakter tokoh. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Media Indonesia telah menjadi Ideological StateApparatus sebagaimana yang disampaikan Althusser. Kesimpulan: Suratkabar yang berafiliasi pada kekuasaan bekerja memproduksi narasi berita hanya untuk melanggengkan praktik kekuasaan. Sehingga pola pemilihan karakter tokoh yangditampilkan akan mengikuti logika, nilai, ideologi, dan kepentingan kekuasaan.

RELEVANSI PALPASI DALAM PEMERIKSAAN RADIOGRAFI
Authors: Avianto Sukandar
Published: April 2020

Dalam menentukan batas-batas pemeriksaan dan titik pusat (CP) pada pemeriksaanradiografi abdomen, BNO, Vertebrae Lumbo Sacral dan radiografi sacrum,radiographer harus melakukan palpasi terhadap organ-organ tertentu, hal inidisebabkan organ yang ditentukan sebagai batas ternyata tertutup oleh bajupemeriksaan pengganti baju pasien ketika dilakukan pemeriksaan radiografi, salahsatu kegiatan palpasi dalam pemeriksaan radiologi yang dilakukan oleh radiographersangat mungkin bisa terkena pasal 335 KUHP tentang perbuatan orang lain yangtidak menyenangkan apalagi bila radiographer tidak memiliki SOP tentang palpasidalam melakukan pemeriksaan radiografi. Dengan menggunakan metoda penelitiankualitatif penulis menulis artikel ilmiah ini dengan tujuan menjelaskan caramelakukan penentuan batas batas dalam pemeriksaan radiografi tanpa melakukanpalpasi dan melakukan peninjauan relevansi kegiatan palpasi dalam pemeriksaanradiologi.Hasil penelitian menyebutkan cara ra diographer melakukan pemeriksaanradiografi tanpa melakukan palpasi dengan cara meminta pasien dengan tutur katayang baik dan sopan untuk menunjukan dan menekan sendiri daerah atau bagiantubuh yang radiographer inginkan untuk ditunjuk dan ditekan dengan jari telunjukserta jari tengahnya, serta Relevansi kegiatan palpasi tidak bisa ditinggalkan dalampemeriksaan radiologi pada pasien yang tidak kooperatif atau tidak sadar, untukpasien yang kooperatif sebaiknya kegiatan palpasi tertulis dengan jelas dalamStandar Operasional Prosedur (SOP).

Minimnya buku ajar English for Specific Purpose yang berkenaan dengan bidang radiologi yang sesuai untuk mahasiswa program studi radiologi di Indonesia menjadi tantangan bagi para dosen pengajar Bahasa Inggris di program studi radiologi Politeknik Al Islam Bandung. Untuk mengantisipasi keterbatasan bahan ajar ESP di bidang radiologi tersebut maka dilakukan penelitian terhadap buku teks radiologi yang berbahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan linguistik korpus sebagai alat untuk mendapatkan kosa kata di bidang radiologi serta gramatika dan fitur kelas kata yang digunakan dalam buku tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode gabungan antara kuantitatif yang diaplikasikan di awal penelitian serta metode kualitatif yang digunakan pada proses analisis untuk mendapatkan simpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 12.395 kata berbeda yang digunakan dengan total jumlah kata secara keseluruhan termasuk kata yang diulang-ulang adalah sebanyak 428.117 kata. Kata-kata tersebut diklasifikasikan ke dalam kelas kata nomina, verba, ajektiva, adverbia, singkatan, dan lain-lain. Secara garis besar, dari hasil tersebut diantaranya ditemukan adanya penggunaan kalimat aktif dan pasif, tenses yang meliputi present, present continuous tense, past tense, present perfect, auxiliary verbs, countable dan uncountable noun, dan comparative degree. Selanjutnya, hasil analisis ini akan digunakan untuk menyusun bahan ajar ESP bidang radiologi.

Planet yield calculations may be used to inform the target selection strategy and science operations of space observatories. Forthcoming and proposed NASA missions, such as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope, the Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission, and the Large UV/Optical/IR Surveyor, are expected to be equipped with sensitive coronagraphs and/or starshades. We are developing a suite of numerical simulations to quantify the extent to which ground-based radial velocity (RV) surveys could boost the detection efficiency of direct imaging missions. In this paper, we discuss the first step in the process of estimating planet yields: generating synthetic planetary systems consistent with observed occurrence rates from multiple detection methods. In an attempt to self-consistently populate stars with orbiting planets, it is found that naive extrapolation of occurrence rates (mass, semimajor axis) results in an unrealistically large number density of Neptune-mass planets beyond the ice line (a ≳ 5 au), causing dynamic interactions that would destabilize orbits. We impose a stability criterion for multiplanet systems based on mutual Hill radii separation. Considering the influence of compact configurations containing Jovian-mass and Neptune-mass planets results in a marked suppression in the number of terrestrial planets that can exist at large radii. This result has a pronounced impact on planet yield calculations particularly in regions accessible to high-contrast imaging and microlensing. The dynamically compact configurations and occurrence rates that we develop may be incorporated as input into joint RV and direct imaging yield calculations to place meaningful limits on the number of detectable planets with future missions.
