We present the direct imaging discovery of a substellar companion to the nearby Sun-like star, HD 33632 Aa, at a projected separation of ∼20 au, obtained with SCExAO/CHARIS integral field spectroscopy complemented by Keck/NIRC2 thermal infrared imaging. The companion, HD 33632 Ab, induces a 10.5σ astrometric acceleration on the star as detected with the Gaia and Hipparcos satellites. SCExAO/CHARIS JHK (1.1–2.4 μm) spectra and Keck/NIRC2 L
p (3.78 μm) photometry are best matched by a field L/T transition object: an older, higher-gravity, and less dusty counterpart to HR 8799 cde. Combining our astrometry with Gaia/Hipparcos data and archival Lick Observatory radial velocities, we measure a dynamical mass of 46.4 ± 8 M
J and an eccentricity of e < 0.46 at 95% confidence. HD 33632 Ab’s mass and mass ratio (4.0% ± 0.7%) are comparable to the low-mass brown dwarf GJ 758 B and intermediate between the more massive brown dwarf HD 19467 B and the (near-)planet-mass companions to HR 2562 and GJ 504. Using Gaia to select for direct imaging observations with the newest extreme adaptive optics systems can reveal substellar or even planet-mass companions on solar system–like scales at an increased frequency compared to blind surveys.

The Medial Trivector Approach in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Fisher David A , Trimble Steven M , Breedlove Karen
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT

This study compares the clinical results of the medial trivector approach to the standard parapatellar approach in primary total knee arthroplasty. Ten patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty were included in this study. Right and left knees were randomized for a standard medial parapatellar arthrotomy or a medial trivector approach. Patients were assessed by the number of days to achieve straight leg raising and range of motion at discharge. In addition, knee scores were obtained at 6 weeks and 6 months with careful assessment of any pain or tenderness around the quadriceps mechanism. At 6 months, patients were tested on a KINCOM machine assessing their concentric and eccentric quadriceps strength.

While there was no difference in total range of motion at the time of discharge, patients undergoing a medial trivector approach achieved independent straight-leg raising 2 days sooner than patients undergoing a standard medial parapatellar arthrotomy. No significant differences existed in knee scores, pain scores, or range of motion at 6 weeks or 6 months. KINCOM testing at 6 months revealed the knees undergoing trivector approach to be 15% stronger in concentric contractions. No complications were encountered with the use of the medial trivector approach in these patients. Subjectively, patients reported less discomfort and more strength in the knees having undergone a medial trivector approach.

The medial trivector approach may enhance postoperative recovery without adversely affecting the quadriceps function following total knee arthroplasty. The medial trivector approach to the knee does not weaken quadriceps muscle function or adversely affect clinical results of total knee arthroplasty.

Saberes em (trans)formação contínua: uma abordagem metodológica na análise das práticas de formação para o ensino da escrita
Authors: Graça Luciana
Published: November 2020

A nossa investigação interessa-se pelo efetivo impacto de uma formação contínua, para o ensino da escrita, nas práticas dos professores em sala de aula, ou seja, pela identificação dos saberes que são recuperados, transformados e/ou eliminados, na passagem da formação para a prática, in loco. Neste texto, o nosso enfoque está colocado na oficina de formação, analisando-se as interações ocorridas entre o formador e os formandos, graças à gravação audiovisual realizada. Mais especificamente: i) apresentaremos a abordagem metodológica adotada para a análise; e ii) descreveremos duas das análises feitas – a nível das categorias de saber presentes e dos obstáculos identificados –, para também demonstrarmos algumas das potencialidades de tal abordagem. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam as virtualidades do dispositivo de análise e o facto de que os saberes apenas tendem a ser assimilados, quando o formando não só pode refletir sobre os conhecimentos que construiu, e as práticas que implementou, como também é capaz de reconhecer que os novos conhecimentos e as novas práticas estão intimamente relacionados com as suas preocupações pedagógicas e didáticas. Palavras-chave: formação de professores; circulação de saberes; escrita.
“Então você toma dano, bicha!”: mudanças de enquadre e alinhamento e construções identitárias em um jogo de RPG
Authors: Delorenci Toscano Costa João Pedro , Lewis Elizabeth Sara
Published: November 2020

Este artigo tem como tema o RPG, uma modalidade de jogo de interpretação no qual se constrói uma narrativa compartilhada entre os participantes. Os dados foram gerados entre abril e dezembro de 2018 em 7 sessões de um jogo de RPG cujos participantes se identificavam como LGBTQIs ou simpatizantes. Utilizando os conceitos de Enquadre e Alinhamento, da Sociolinguística Interacional, a pesquisa objetivava, num primeiro momento, analisar quais enquadres emergiam, como se sobrepunham e como os jogadores se alinhavam aos enquadres. Num segundo momento, procurou-se olhar para como questões de gênero e sexualidade se tornavam relevantes nas interações. Concluiu-se que, diferente de outras conversas face-a-face,o RPG possui relações de enquadre bem específicas e altamente móveis, que sãodefinidas pela própria modalidade do jogo. A forma como os participantes se alinham os enquadres varia, primeiro de enquadre a enquadre, mas também a partir de seus conhecimentos e experiências compartilhadas como grupo social minoritário.Palavras-chave: Enquadres; Alinhamento; RPG.

Authors: Suhail Ahmed , Hasteer Nitasha , Sharma Ashita , Singh Sanchi
Published: November 2020

Scarcity of water resources due to increased demand as a result of exponential increase in population leading to accelerated requirement of food and industrial goods has led to a situation where many countries are facing severe water crisis. About 70% of water is being used for irrigation. As a result of this, in many cases untreated wastewater is also used for irrigation which further poses various threats to human health. Various studies have proposed that applying information technology in the irrigation techniques can help in reducing the water consumption in the farms. The smart farming techniques developed through the use of information technology can help the farmer in managing the water resources, reducing the wastage of water and to even measure the quality of water. Smart farming techniques can aid in solving biggest crisis and can help in attaining sustainable development goals.

Novel Packaging Technologies in Dairy Products
Authors: Turkmen Nazli , Ozturkoglu-Budak Sebnem
Published: November 2020

The packaging process is an important step in maintaining the quality characteristics of foods. Packaging foods protects products from external effects and provides product information to consumers. Due to the various changes occurring during the distribution and storage of the products, some significant quality characteristics can be lost. In recent years, novel packaging technologies have been developed to supply long shelf life, safety, and ‘fresh-like' characteristics to the products. These novel technologies include nanotechnology, modified atmosphere packaging, active packaging, and intelligent/smart packaging. Since dairy products are generally vulnerable to biological, physical, and chemical changes, they lose their quality characteristics within a short term. Therefore, the use of these novel techniques in dairy products is greatly important. This chapter informs about general principles of the novel packaging techniques and their current applications in dairy technology.
Agbiotech, Sustainability, and Food Security Connection to Public Health
Authors: Iyioke Ike Valentine
Published: November 2020

Supporters of agricultural biotechnology have maintained a high enthusiasm for its role in improving agricultural yields and enhancing sustainability, for instance, in Africa. However, critics are deeply skeptical. This chapter sketches some of the main arguments on both sides to provide a summary analysis. The discussion includes multiple climatic, socioeconomic, and public policy drivers that have collided with the ability of the average person to achieve food security. If food security is to be understood as a matter of human health, then its definitions and designs must recognize food's many roles in creating positive public health outcomes. Hence, the discussion expands to include an integrative model of food security linking sociocultural, public policy, and ecological aspects to public health. The chapter concludes that extensive work must be done to steer policy initiatives toward common sense sustainability paths to achieve food security and/or sovereignty.

Naturally, universities are international institutions. In the event of reports of xenophobic attacks across the South African communities, the universities were not spared. Imperial study results have confirmed such tendencies globally with great concern especially its effects on safety, growth, and development of countries. The aim of the chapter is to explore and describe the extent of xenophobic attacks within the higher education institutions in South Africa. This is presented from an inside-out approach aligned with the bio-ecological systems theory of human development. The theory provided a lens to view the biological factors of development within the family, the outside environment such as the community, universities, and government as influences of continuation and the stopping of xenophobic attacks in the higher education. Continuous stakeholder awareness and education on the acceptance and integration of foreign students is recommended. Additionally, strategies to enhance the integration of foreign students by the international offices in the universities is recommended.

Authors: Khalid Muhammad , Rehman Tansif Ur
Published: November 2020

This research is carried out to explore the BITs of Pakistan and its effects on bringing much needed foreign investment in Pakistan, which is considered a backbone for the economic development for any country. The research reveals that the BITs entered by Pakistan remained a ceremonial gesture to improve the economic relations of Pakistan with other countries without even analyzing the contents of these treaties. Due to this unawareness at the government level, BITs are becoming more nuisance as they give rise to the international investment disputes at international forums, where Pakistan is exposed to investment claims and the cost of international arbitration. Keeping in view of these aims, this research article highlights the pros and cons of the BITs regime of Pakistan with a hope that in future, a careful analysis may be undertaken before entering into such type of treaties.

In the current work, systems based on mini/micro PCs that can support the corporate learning management practices have been evaluated. As a learning management system, the Moodle platform was chosen. The evaluation was based on the end users' experience. For measurement, carried out in three dimensions, a questionnaire was distributed among students enrolled in the blended course, offered with online support. According to results of the study, the installation of Moodle on micro PC was evaluated as slow. However, students agree that given the price of the device, it can be used as an alternative for the existing version of LMS used in the university. Ease of use of the system, working on micro PC, was also evaluated lower compared to the one on the server. In addition, students evaluated the security on the Moodle version installed on the device higher compared to the one in use.

Published: November 2020

Background: Human non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) have been associated with certain life-threatening disorders in children. However, there is paucity of NPEV infection data in most developing countries. This study determined the 3-year prevalence of non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) among children in some Northern States of Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Duplicate stool samples were collected from 27778 children ≤15 years. These samples were processed and analyzed for characteristic NPEVs cytopathic effects (CPE) on L20B and RD cell lines. Tests were considered positive if the duplicate samples produced distinct CPE on both cell lines. Results: Of the 27778 samples processed, 3991 (14.4%) NPEVs were isolated. Participants of the male gender (14.5%) within the age range of 0-5 years (14.7%) from Yobe state (15.3%) whose samples were received in the month of June (22.2%) and in the year 2015 (18.8%) had the highest prevalence of NPEVs. June had significant risk factors of NPEVs (p˂0.001, OR=1.95 [95%CI: 1.60-2.34]). However, there was no significant association between age, sex and location of sample collection with the prevalence of NPEV (p˃0.05) Conclusions: This study revealed a relatively high prevalence of NPEVs among the study population. This calls for the need for government implementation of consistently improved water, food and environmental hygiene.
Perindopril/amlodipine-induced thrombotic microangiopathy

Published: November 2020

This is the first report on a case of perindopril/amlodipine-induced thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) syndrome. A 48-year-old female was admitted complaining of nettle rash all over the body, bloody urine, and weakness shortly after starting antihypertensive therapy with perindopril/amlodipine. Shortly thereafter, she developed pronounced hemiparesis, somnolence, and sensorimotor aphasia. Laboratory findings were compatible with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. She was diagnosed with TMA. Cessation of perindopril/amlodipine therapy and treatment with plasma exchange and systemic corticosteroids resulted in full recovery. Very seldom perindopril/amlodipine may cause hematologic abnormalities, probably through an immunological mechanism, but there were no reports of causing TMA so far. In our case, the symptoms began shortly after the start of perindopril/amlodipine use. The clinical course of TMA in the case was compatible with TMA related to an acute, immune-mediated drug reaction. The most important thing is to promptly recognize TMA and its induction by a drug because distinctive treatment and cessation of the suspected drug can prevent severe outcome, as it was avoided in our patient.

Future scenarios (2021-2050) of extreme precipitation events that trigger landslides – a case study of the Paraitinga River watershed, SP, Brazil
Authors: Silva Rodrigo Cesar da , Mendes Rodolfo Moreda , Fisch Gilberto
Published: November 2020

Global climate change and the consequent occurrence of extreme events will impact societies on a large-scale, with intense rainfall tending to trigger a greater number of hazards caused by climatic events, especially landslides. The incidence of this type of event is conditioned by the combination of several environmental and human factors, such as land use and cover patterns, geomorphological characteristics, and extreme climate. This study analyzed, through the classification of land use and cover and simulation of rainfall, future scenarios in the Paraitinga River watershed, in the southeastern region of Brazil. Precipitation data were used from the MIROC5/Eta model, using the scenario RCP 4.5 (Representative Concentration Pathway) from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and comparing data from past (1971-2000) and future (2021-2050) periods. The results estimate an increase in consecutive dry days and intense and very intense rainfall, pointing to heavy and concentrated rainfall in the future. An increase of 31.8% in accumulated precipitation over 72 hours that triggers landslides was also predicted, and this increase encompasses 41.6% of the areas of medium and high frequency of incidence of this type of geological event in the study area.
Chrześcijańskie ujęcie relacji człowieka do stworzenia w oparciu o metaforę dialogu
Authors: Synowiec Jakub
Published: November 2020

Christian approach to relation between man and creation on the basis of the metaphor of dialogue

The article uses the metaphor of dialogue to illuminate the Christian approach to the relationship of man to creation. The metaphor of dialogue is shaped on the basis of the concept of dialogue from D. N. Walton’s The New Dialectic. The article is divided into three parts, in which selected features of dialogue are discussed to throw light on the Christian approach to the human-creation relationship related to them: the common goal of the participants in the dialogue, the requirement to know the partner in the dialogue and the result of dialogue resulting from its nature, i.e. agreement. The conclusions present the concept of human ecology, emphasize numerous similarities between Christian and non-Christian ecological thought, and identify why Christian dialogue with creation does not function as it should in the light of the Church’s teaching.

W artykule wykorzystano metaforę dialogu w celu naświetlenia chrześcijańskiego ujęcia relacji człowieka do stworzenia. Metafora dialogu została zbudowana w oparciu o koncepcję dialogu z Nowej dialektyki D. N. Waltona. Artykuł podzielony jest na trzy części, w których omówione są wybrane cechy dialogu oraz odniesione do nich chrześcijańskie ujęcie relacji człowiek – stworzenie: wspólny cel uczestników dialogu, wymóg znajomości partnera w dialogu i efekt dialogu wynikający z jego natury, a więc porozumienie. W konkluzjach przedstawiona została koncepcja ekologii ludzkiej, podkreślono liczne podobieństwa między chrześcijańską i niechrześcijańską myślą ekologiczną i zidentyfikowano, dlaczego dialog chrześcijaństwa ze stworzeniem nie funkcjonuje tak, jak w świetle nauczania Kościoła powinien.
Kapłan mistrzem i ojcem. Dialog między pracą i samotnością

Published: November 2020

God.Priest a master and a father. Dialogue between work and loneliness
The article is an attempt to present the priestly vocation in the aspect of being a master and father for believers. Referring to the reflections of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the author points to those elements of the priest’s ministry which constitute the essence of being a good shepherd. It also deals with the subject of the relationship between pastoral work and loneliness, which – if lived well – leads to discovering oneself and experiencing closeness to God.

Artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia powołania kapłańskiego w aspekcie bycia mistrzem i ojcem dla wiernych. Nawiązując do przemyśleń kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego, autor wskazuje na te elementy posługi prezbitera, które stanowią istotę bycia dobrym pasterzem. Podejmuje także temat relacji, jaka zachodzi pomiędzy pracą duszpasterską a samotnością, która – jeśli jest dobrze przeżyta – prowadzi do odkrycia siebie i do doświadczenia bliskości Boga.
Sztuka, twórczość artystyczna i modlitwa
Authors: Królikowski Janusz
Published: November 2020

Art, artistic creativity and prayer

One of the key questions with which contemporary theology has to deal is providing support for art, so that it could perform its tradition-honoured role of a „mediator” in relation between man and God. Works of art, especially paintings, have proven their unquestionable value in this respect more than once. The unique role of paintings finds its manifestation particularly in prayer which constitutes a privileged place of meeting between man and God. Artistic creativity in its internal dynamism may constitute substantial aid in this respect, since it not only provides the believers with actual visualisations of religious themes, but also conveys the example or man of how to go beyond oneself, which plays the fundamental role in religion and spirituality.

Jednym z ważnych zagadnień, które stają przed współczesną teologią, jest okazanie wsparcia sztuce, aby mogła spełnić swoją tradycyjnie uznaną rolę „pośredniczki” w relacjach między człowiekiem a Bogiem. Wytwory sztuki, zwłaszcza malarstwa, sprawdziły się już wielokrotnie w tej roli. W sposób szczególny ich rola odnosi się do modlitwy, która stanowi uprzywilejowane miejsce spotkania człowieka z Bogiem. Twórczość artystyczna w swoim dynamizmie wewnętrznym może stanowić ważną pomoc w tym względzie, ponieważ nie tylko dostarcza wierzącemu konkretnych obrazów inspirowanych religijnie, ale ukazuje także człowiekowi drogę wychodzenia poza siebie, która odgrywa podstawową rolę w religii i w duchowości.
Maryja, uczennica Pańska, wzorem bycia uczniem Chrystusa (Łk 1,26-38; 2,19.51)
Authors: Wielgut Franciszek
Published: November 2020

Mary, disciple of the Lord, model of being a desciple of Christ (LUK 1,26-38; 2,19.51)

The author asks a question about the evangelical image of Mary as a disciple of her own Son, Jesus Christ. With this end in view, he first explains the meaning of the term „disciple” in the New Testament and analyses the characteristics of a disciple of Jesus. Then he describes the moment of calling Mary in the scene of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38) and her relationship of intimacy with the word of God (Luke 2:19,51). An analysis of these passages leads to the discovery of the figure of Mary as a disciple of Christ. This is evidenced above all by her vocation and choice, and the relationship of union with the word of God. In the conclusion, the author gives some practical applications, which expresses the model of Mary as a disciple for believers.

Autor stawia pytanie o ewangeliczny obraz Maryi jako uczennicy własnego Syna, Jezusa Chrystusa. W tym celu najpierw wyjaśnia znaczenie określenia „uczeń” w Nowym Testamencie i bada, czym charakteryzuje się uczeń Jezusa. Następnie opisuje moment powołania Maryi w scenie zwiastowania (por. Łk 1,26-38) oraz Jej relację zażyłości ze słowem Bożym (por. Łk 2,19.51). Analiza tych fragmentów prowadzi do odkrycia postaci Maryi jako uczennicy Chrystusa. Świadczą o tym przede wszystkim Jej powołanie i wybór oraz relacja zjednoczenia ze słowem Bożym. W podsumowaniu autor podaje kilka praktycznych wniosków, w czym wyraża się wzór Maryi jako uczennicy dla wierzących.

Published: November 2020

This paper aims to design the multi-cell cross-sectional thin-walled columns with two crashworthiness criteria. An explicit finite element analysis (FEA) is used to derive higher-order response surfaces for these two objectives. In the process of multiobjective crashworthiness optimization, Deb and Gupta method was utilized to find out the knee points from the Pareto solutions space. The efficiency of the crashworthiness optimization design method based on surrogate models is identified.
Consumers and QR code payment method: A Case of Pakistani Retail Environment
Authors: Ahmad Hassan , Asghar Shahid
Published: November 2020

Consumers tend to find ways that are beneficial and useful for them during a shopping experience. They use different methods, either online or offline, for a more considerable retail experience. Thus, the use of a particular technology when it accessible, useful, beneficial, and innovative may help them progress a certain attitude. The practice of the theory of acceptance model(TAM) proved to be right in this context of embracing of QR code transaction method. This kind of payment system is still relatively new in the Pakistani environment, but this, with the current research framework, it shows that consumers are willing to adopt it. Thus, CINN, PBN, PEU, PUF, and attitude proved to be suitable variables for the adoption of this technology
In an Era of Disruption: Multinationals’ Responses to Host Country Political Violence
Authors: Liu Chang
Published: November 2020

This dissertation investigates how multinational enterprises (MNEs) respond to host country political violence (specifically, terrorist attacks), and how factors influencing top management teams’ (TMTs) decision making subsequently impact MNEs’ responses. Across three essays, I found that MNEs’ divestments, their likelihood of temporary vs. permanent divestment, and their likelihood of exerting information control in response to host country terrorist attacks are contingent upon executives’ social proximity to the event host countries, CEO conservatism, and TMT gender diversity. This dissertation contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the role of managerial interpretation in MNEs’ responses to host country political violence.
دور التعددية في تعزيز السلام والسلم الاجتماعي (ماليزيا أنموذجا)
Authors: علي البلوي هاني
Published: November 2020

تناول الباحث التعددية والسلم الاجتماعي وموقعها في النظام السياسي في ماليزيا، وسلط الضوء على مبدأ الاحترام والتسامح الذي يسود المجتمع الماليزي. فالتعدد القومي فيها لم يكن مصدراً للصراع، بل على العكس، فإن تنوع دولـة ماليزيـا العرقي كان أكثر ميلاً نحو السلام، فعلى الرغم من التباينات الإثنية في الدولة إلا أنه استطاع من نقل ماليزيا إلى آفاق دولة حديثة قادرة على تحقيق معدلات عالية من النمو ديمقراطيا، ويهدف البحث إلى استجلاء مكامن القوة من خلال التعددية الموجودة في ماليزيا، كما يهدف البحث إلى إبراز دور التعددية في التعايش السلمي في المجتمع الماليزي، وقد استخدم الباحث المنهج التاريخي للوقوف على بداية فكرة التعددية وكيف تم توظيفها من أجل إذكاء الصراع في المجتمع الماليزي، وخلص الباحث إلى أن تبني مفهوم التعددية في ماليزيا عزز دورها في النظام السياسي مما انعكس على التعايش السلمي في المجتمع الماليزي.كما خلص البحث إلى أن قضية التعددية ظاهرة طبيعية لها جوانب إيجابية بغية نشر السلام بين البشر، وأنه لا يخلو منها مجتمع من المجتمعات.

Excessive buffer inventory may disrupt production and constitute one of the main problems. One of the ways of coping with the inventory problems in the mass production lines is to achieve and implement a detailed production schedule. In this study, a company with a mass production line in the white goods sector is in consideration. A mixed-integer programming model with sequence-dependent setup times has been developed to solve the excessive work in process problems for the dye house station in a white goods sector company. The developed model has been applied to the company to test the model by using real data and the problem has been solved by using the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) CPLEX 24.1 solver.
Az English for Border and Coast Guards című nemzetközi szaknyelvi oktatóanyag fejlesztésének folyamata – a nem-nyelvész szakemberek szerepe
Authors: Borszéki Judit
Published: November 2020

Az angol határrendészeti szaknyelv a nyelvészetileg kevéssé feltárt szakmai nyelvek közé sorolható. Oktatása – különösen napjainkban, a nemzetközi határrendészeti együttműködés erősítése iránti igény fényében – egyre fontosabbá válik, ennek intézményes megoldása azonban számos országban nehézségekbe ütközik. A közlemény bemutatja a FRONTEX (Európai Határ- és Partvédelmi Ügynökség) vezetésével 2015 óta zajló English for Border and Coast Guards, (EBCG) nemzetközi projektet, valamint annak első termékét, egy 2018-ban közzétett, alapszintű, általános (A2-B1) nyelvtudásra épülő, önálló tanulásra is alkalmas online oktatóanyagot. A szerző vizsgálja az utóbbi évek vonatkozó szakirodalmában megjelenő szükségletelemzési és kurzusfejlesztési trendeket, és ezek egyes elemeit összeveti az EBCG oktatóeszköz fejlesztésének lépéseivel. Az online kurzus fejlesztésének sajátossága, hogy nem-nyelvész szakemberek kezdeményezik és irányítják a folyamatot, valamint ők alkotják meg a tananyag alapját képező szaknyelvi korpuszt. A tanulmány végül felsorolja azokat az indokokat, amelyek e sajátos tananyagfejlesztési módszer létjogosultságát igazolhatják.
