Indefinición del Concepto de Adulto Mayor Laboralmente Activo en Colombia
Authors: García-Mejía Nataly Andrea
Published: August 2020

De conformidad con el estudio “Misión Colombia Envejece”, a partir del año 2020 el país experimentará un crecimiento de los adultos mayores en los próximos años, pronosticándose para el año 2050 un aumento del 10.8% al 23%, equivalente a poco más de 14 millones de personas. Actualmente, la mayoría de quienes conforman este grupo se ven forzados a mantenerse laboralmente activos para garantizar su subsistencia. Con ello, se crea la necesidad de implementar políticas públicas dirigidas a este sector poblacional. Mediante el presente escrito, se determinarán los criterios utilizados para identificar quiénes pueden ser considerados como adultos mayores en el derecho laboral colombiano. Como conclusión, se observa la prevalencia del factor edad al momento de estimar la vejez laboral del sujeto, pero se omiten circunstancias visibilizadas tanto por el Derecho Internacional del Trabajo como por la jurisprudencia nacional y la sociedad colombiana. Lo anterior devenga en una falta de precisión sobre los criterios a tener en cuenta para identificar a esta población.

Esto significó ungran progreso para la ciudad puesto que se dio unamejor organización del Distrito. Sin embargo, lafalta de controles ambientales por parte de lasadministraciones de la ciudad, ha permitido quedurante ese mismo tiempo se creara un modelomental entre los comerciantes, vendedores,pescadores y administradores del mercado, el cualse resume en que es culturalmente normal que esteespacio destinado al comercio sea sucio y generecantidades de basura diariamente que alteran elecosistema.Las altas tasas de contaminación, impactan demanera agresiva contra el ecosistema más próximoa la plaza de mercado, la Ciénega de las Quintas,la cual se conecta con todos los puntos fluviales dela Cartagena contaminando ampliamente laciudad. La Ciénega está ubicada en la avenida dellago, es reconocida por ser el hogar del ecosistemamarino costero conocido como manglar.

La Violencia contra la Mujer en el Marco de las Relaciones de Parejas o Ex parejas Sentimentales: un Análisis de las Políticas Criminales en Colombia desde una Óptica Criminológica
Authors: Julio-Estrada Natalia Andrea , Arroyo-Valeta Melisa Andrea
Published: August 2020

El contexto en el que se presenta la violenciacontra la mujer es comprendido desde las esferaspúblicas y privadas, los cuales han permitido teneruna concepción del tema y por tal motivo diseñarunas políticas criminales como respuesta estatal alfenómeno; sin embargo, las bases que hancimentado la creación de estas políticas no hancomprendido el impacto social que genera estaviolencia. Es por ello, que se acude a lacriminología crítica para explicar el enfoque socialdel daño que genera el crimen, no obstante, lamirada que se le ha dado a este fenómeno en elcampo de las parejas y ex parejas sentimentales, hasido poco desarrollada, limitándose al concepto dedesigualdad o asimetría que socialmente hamarcado la relación hombre-mujer.Por tal motivo resulta complejo la creación de unapolítica criminal que abarque toda la dimensión dela violencia contra la mujer, recalcando que ladesigualdad solamente es una pequeña arista alproblema que de verdad supone este tipo deviolencia, dado que únicamente se está mirando lapunta del iceberg.

Published: August 2020

In terms of the absolute number of COVID-19 positive cases, India is among the top four countries in the world. There is a lot of unwarranted criticism about the alleged inadequacy of COVID-19 testing in India. The facts available from international and publicly available online non-government source covering the entire world show otherwise. While India is fourth in terms of an absolute number of cases, its rank is 132nd in terms of cases per million population and 107th for deaths per million population. These are indications that India is doing much better in the battle against COVID-19 than it is getting credit for. The correct benchmark for the adequacy of testing is the percentage of COVID-19 positive results as compared to the total number of tests performed. India ranks 5th (out of 215) in this respect – being better than some western countries such as the USA, Spain, and France. Thus, the Indian strategy for COVID-19 testing is better and more appropriate than the majority of other countries with the large absolute number of positive cases.

The unexpected pandemic set off by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) has spread to more than 210 countries across the globe, including India. In the current pandemic situation, various steps have been taken by the Indian government to prevent and control the spread of the SARS-CoV2 infection. To date, there are no proven vaccines or effective therapeutic interventions against the virus. Current clinical management includes infection prevention and control, symptom-specific relief and supportive care. Physicians and scientists across the country have been tirelessly working on developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and to combat and control this infection. As the demand for diagnostics and therapeutics continues to rise in India and around the globe, it is essential to rapidly develop various algorithms to successfully identify and contain the virus. This review discusses the updates on the recent developments in COVID-19 diagnostics and therapeutics in India.
The pathway to comfort: Role of palliative care for serious COVID-19 illness
Authors: Rao Krithika S. , Singhai Pankaj , Salins Naveen , Rao Seema Rajesh
Published: August 2020

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to significant distress among people of all age groups. Patients with advanced age and severe life-limiting illnesses are at increased risk of death from COVID-19. Not all patients presenting with severe illness will be eligible for aggressive intensive treatment. In limited resource setting, patients may be triaged for supportive care only. This subset of patients should be promptly identified and receive appropriate palliative care with adequate symptom control strategies and psychosocial support. Breathlessness, delirium, pain, and noisy breathing are main symptoms among these patients which can add to the suffering at end-of-life. The COVID-19 pandemic also contributes to the psychological distress due to stigma of the illness, uncertainty of the illness course, fear of death and dying in isolation, and anticipatory grief in families. Empathetic communication and holistic psychosocial support are important in providing good palliative care in COVID-19 patients and their families.
Dural sinus mechanical thrombectomy and continuous local rt-PA infusion in a child with refractory intracranial hypertension and progressive visual loss: A case report
Authors: Cellerini Martino , Francavilla Rosa , Testoni Caterina , Maffei Monica , Zucchelli Mino , Ghizzi Chiara
Published: August 2020

Background:

Children with intracranial hypertension are at risk for visual loss and their visual function must be closely monitored. Surgery with the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is imperative when vision is threatened.

Case Description:

Herein, we report a case of a 5-year-old boy whose refractory intracranial hypertension and severe, progressive visual loss (secondary to a chronic, otogenic, right sigmoid sinus thrombosis, and a contralateral sinus tight stenosis) were resolved by a combination of continuous (6 h), locoregional, infusion of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), and mechanical thrombectomy.

Conclusion:

The association of in loco and continuous infusion of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt- PA) with mechanical thrombectomy resulted in effective in partially reopening the occluded sinus and facilitating a good clinical recovery. This combined endovascular approach may represent an alternative, less invasive, therapeutic option to surgery in children with intracranial hypertension caused by chronic cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

Published: August 2020

Background:

Modern technical capabilities have made minimally invasive surgery increasingly popular. Small incisions can reduce surgical duration and the degree of tissue trauma, which reduces the risk of complications. Burr hole microsurgery is a relatively new minimally invasive technique used in neurosurgery. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and outcomes of using burr hole microsurgery for the management of intracranial lesions.

Methods:

Forty-four adults were treated with burr hole microsurgery. Patients were divided into groups according to the presence of (1) brain tumors (n = 20); (2) congenital brain cysts (n = 16); (3) cavernous angiomas (n = 3); and (4) neurovascular conflicts of the 5th cranial nerve (n = 5). All surgical interventions were performed using the “MARI” device.

Results:

The transcortical approach was used to remove 16 brain tumors, and 2 brain tumors were biopsied. In the two tumor biopsy cases, the parasagittal interhemispheric route was used. Gross total resection was achieved in 10 cases (62.5%) when tumor size reached up to 4 cm, subtotal resection was achieved in four cases (25%) in large tumors, and partial resection in two cases (12.5%). In patients with congenital cysts, cavernous angiomas, trigeminal neuralgia, and symptomatic regression were noted the postoperative period. The surgical duration was 30–180 min (median, 75 min). A hemorrhagic complication was observed in one case. Significant postoperative complications and mortality were not observed.

Conclusion:

Burr hole microsurgery can treat different intracranial lesions effectively. Despite a smaller craniotomy diameter of 11–14 mm compared with keyhole approaches, surgery was successful.
Superficial temporal artery-superior cerebellar artery bypass and proximal occlusion through anterior petrosal approach for subarachnoid hemorrhage due to basilar artery dissection
Authors: Hirano Yudai , Ono Hideaki , Inoue Tomohiro , Aono Toshiya , Tanishima Takeo , Tamura Akira , Saito Isamu
Published: August 2020

Background:

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to rupture of basilar artery dissection (BAD) is extremely rare and often has a poor prognosis. Since ruptured BAD has high rate of rebleeding and mortality, treatment to prevent rerupture is mandatory in the acute phase. However, to date, no optimal treatment has been established which satisfies secure prevention of rerupture and ischemia simultaneously. Herein, we report a case of SAH due to BAD treated with proximal occlusion of basilar artery with superficial temporal artery (STA)-superior cerebellar artery (SCA) bypass, preventing rebleeding securely and ensuring adequate blood flow in the upper basilar region.

Case Description:

A 48-year-old male presenting with headache and altered mental status was found to have SAH and BAD. To prevent rerupture, proximal occlusion of basilar artery with STA-SCA bypass using anterior transpetrosal approach was performed. The postoperative course was relatively good and there is no evidence of recurrent arterial dissection.

Conclusion:

Proximal occlusion of the basilar artery combined with STA-SCA bypass was successful in preventing rerupture of BAD and ensuring blood flow in the upper basilar region. Although there is controversy regarding acute treatment for ruptured BAD, direct proximal occlusion with sufficient revascularization using bypass skull base technique may be one of the optimal treatments even in this era of endovascular treatment.
Memory of Chirality in Room Temperature Flow Electrochemical Reactor
Authors: Hardwick Tomas , Cicala Rossana , Ahmed Nisar
Published: August 2020

Chiral compounds have become of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry as they possess various biological activities. Concurrently, the concept of “memory of chirality” has been proven as a powerful tool in asymmetric synthesis, while flow chemistry has begun its rise as a new enabling technology to add to the ever increasing arsenal of techniques available to the modern day chemist. Here, we have employed a new simple electrochemical microreactor design to oxidise an L-proline derivative at room temperature in continuous flow. Compared to batch, organic electrosynthesis via microflow reactors are advantageous because they allow shorter reaction times, optimization and scale up, safer working environments, and high selectivities (e.g. reduce overoxidation). Flow electrochemical reactors also provide high surface-to-volume ratios and impart the possibility of excluding the supporting electrolyte due to a very short interelectrode distance. By the comparison of Hofer Moest type electrochemical oxidations at room temperature in batch and flow, we conclude that continuous flow electrolysis is superior to batch, producing a good yield and a higher enantiomeric excess. These results show that continuous flow has the potential to act as a new enabling technology for asymmetric synthesis to replace some aspects of conventional batch electrochemical processes.
Stochastic Computing via In Operando Modulation of Rectification in Molecular Tunneling Junctions
Authors: Qiu Xinkai , Rousseva Sylvia , Ye Gang , Hummelen Jan C. , Chiechi Ryan
Published: August 2020

This paper describes the reconfiguration of molecular tunneling junctions during operation via the self-assembly of bilayers of glycol ethers. We use well-established functional groups to modulate the magnitude and direction of rectification in assembled tunneling junctions by exposing them to solutions containing different glycol ethers. Variable-temperature measurements establish that rectification occurs by a bias-dependent tunneling-hopping mechanism and that glycol ethers, beside being an unusually efficient tunneling medium, behave identically to alkanes. We fabricated memory bits from crossbar junctions prepared by injecting eutectic Ga-In into microfluidic channels. Two 8-bit registers were able to perform logical AND operations on bit strings encoded into chemical packets as microfluidic droplets that alter the composition of the crossbar junctions through self-assembly to effect memristor-like properties. This proof of concept work demonstrates the potential for fieldable molecular-electronic devices based on tunneling junctions of self-assembled monolayers and bilayers.
Towards an Understanding of the SEI Formation and Lithium Preferential Plating on Copper
Authors: Menkin Svetlana , O'Keefe Christopher A. , Gunnarsdottir Anna B. , Dey Sunita , Pesci Federico , Shen Zonghao , Aguadero Ainara , Grey Clare P.
Published: August 2020

‘Anode-free’ batteries present a significant advantage due to their substantially higher energy density and ease of assembly in a dry air atmosphere. However, potential safety issues due to lithium (Li) dendrite growth rather than smooth Li metal plating on the Cu current collector, and low cycling coulombic efficiency during their operation are delaying their practical implementation. To understand the interplay between Cu surface chemistry and the morphology of the plated Li, we studied the SEI formation on Cu and the preferential plating of Li using ssNMR, insitu NMR, XPS, ToF-SIMS, SEM and EIS.A native interphase layer (N-SEI) is formed instantaneously on copper current collectors upon their immersion in LiPF6-based electrolyte. The nature of the N-SEI is affected by the copper interface composition, homogeneity and formation time. In addition to the typical SEI components, it contains CuxO and its reaction products. Parasitic semi-reversible electrochemical reactions were observed with in-situ NMR measurements of Li plating efficiency during the first five cycles. The morphology of the plated lithium is affected by the SEI homogeneity, current density and rest time in the electrolyte before the plating. The preferential plating of Li is governed by the distribution of ionic conducting compounds rather than electronic conducting compounds.
Re-thinking Contextualisation Attribution in Solomon Islands school leadership

This article discusses the perceptions of Solomon Island mentors and regional administrators of a Solomon
Islands aid-funded school leadership professional learning and development intervention. The focus is on
contextualisation, used here as a broad term to refer to the adoption of ways of understanding, thinking and
working recognisable and coherent within local practice. The scope of the article includes the significance of
the configuration of relationships between delivery partners, the power of cause-based motivation, programme
delivery protocols and ways of understanding successful outcomes. Using data drawn from two perspectives in
a multi-facetted programme construction and delivery model, the article offers some provocations regarding
the potential of re-framing relationships and practices in aid-funded development programmes in educational
leadership and beyond.
A Conversation on the Philosophy and Practice of Teaching Research in Maori and Pacific Education

Published: August 2020

Research in Māori and Pacific education based on Māori and Pacific philosophies and practices is a new endeavour for tertiary institutions in New Zealand. In this article, the authors describe one such course which they teach to education masters’ students at Victoria University of Wellington. They argue that such courses must be concerned to address the philosophical bases of research at least as rigorously as the methods used to investigate matters of enquiry. It is claimed that Māori and Pacific peoples are demanding the sort of research that helps them to survive, to contribute, and “to be” in the world as Māori and Pacific peoples.

Fānanaua: Ethics education in an indigenous Solomon Islands clan
Authors: Sanga Kabini
Published: August 2020

A key reason for many leadership development programmes in Pacific Islands countries is to teach ethics to Pacific Islands leaders. However, as interventions, these programmes are exclusively reliant on Western ideas about ethics and ethics education. To counter such impositions, this paper discusses the nature of indigenous clan ethics and how ethics education is undertaken in an indigenous Solomon Islands clan. Based on an insider-research project of the Gula'alā people of the Solomon Islands, the paper reports on the differences of indigenous ethics education to how ethics is taught, as reported in the global literature and seen in leadership development programmes in Pacific Islands countries.

国际视域下学前儿童公民教育：理念嬗变与发展趋势 (Preschool children's citizenship education in global context: the transformation of ideas and development trends)
Authors: Xu Peng
Published: August 2020

In recent years, preschool children's citizenship education has been emphasized globally and gradually becomes a main content in early childhood curriculum. Traditional ideas on early age citizens see some new changes. As the core of early age children's citizenship education, children' s citizenship is gradually transferred from citizens in waiting to citizens today, including right, active participation, identity and sense of belonging, and collective responsibility. The above transformation highlights global trends such as enriching ideas and contents on citizenship, regarding equity as the logic starting point, paying attention to young children's participation and experience, and being rooted in indigenous context and culture. In the meantime, potential challenges still exist for the future development of young children's citizenship, such as the difficulty of transferring ideas, ambiguous standing point and the tokenism of curriculum content and practice.
Uso de cajas-nido por la guacamaya roja (Ara macao) en la región de Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz
Authors: Gómez-Gómez Alfredo Omar , Escalante-Pliego Patricia , Mosqueda-Cabrera Miguel Ángel
Published: August 2020

Los nidos artificiales son una herramienta de gran potencial para recuperar poblaciones silvestres, pero han tenido respuesta variable por parte de los psitácidos. En 2014, se inició la reintroducción de la guacamaya roja, una especie en peligro de extinción, en Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, México. Actualmente cuenta con 120 guacamayas libres que forman una nueva población silvestre. En el presente estudio exploramos la colocación de nidos artificiales como sitios de anidación para esta población reintroducida. Colocamos 17 cajas-nido de diferentes materiales, cubiertas con diversos aditivos para evitar la competencia con abejas, éstas las monitoreamos durante un total de 1496 horas en 11 meses de muestreo. Seis cajas nido tuvieron presencia constante de guacamayas, dos de ellas contenían largos trozos de viruta desprendidos con su pico, y plumas pectorales pequeñas, y otra tuvo la puesta de un huevo de guacamaya, acompañada también de plumas pectorales y timoneras. Dos de las cajas no fueron accesibles a las guacamayas por la invasión y establecimiento de colmenas de Apis mellifera, y otra fue visitada por un depredador (Potos flavus). Las cajas-nido visitadas por guacamayas se encontraban instaladas en árboles de las especies Ficus insípida y Sapium lateriflorum a una altura promedio de 20 m, con una vista periférica libre del 71.7% en los nidos ocupados. El aditivo empleado para ahuyentar abejas y el material de la caja-nido no mostraron diferencias marcadas en relación con su ocupación, aunque hay indicios de que la visibilidad periférica, la conectividad de la caja-nido y la altura en el árbol pueden ser factores para la visitación de las cajas-nido por la guacamaya roja, debido a la posible ventaja de poder vigilar el acceso de depredadores potenciales al nido, las pruebas no fueron significativas.
Soledad en la pareja y su relación con el apego
Authors: Granillo-Velasco Luisa Fernanda , Sánchez-Aragón Rozzana
Published: August 2020

La soledad es un fenómeno con importantes repercusiones en la vida de quien la padece, impactando en su salud psicológica. Esta ha sido concebida como una experiencia desagradable relacionada con la necesidad de intimidad interpersonal no satisfecha, lo que implica un desequilibrio en el nivel de interacción socio-afectiva de un individuo, y ocurre cuando la red social del individuo es deficiente. Su medición se ha realizado a través de diferentes instrumentos, entre los que resalta, por sus características psicométricas, la Escala de Soledad Social y Emocional para Adultos (SELSA), que comprende la soledad en tres dominios sociales: pareja, familia y amigos. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue la validación psicométrica de la Escala de Soledad Social y Emocional para Adultos (SELSA) en el contexto de la relación de pareja, así como evaluar su relación con los estilos de apego en México. Para ello, se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística accidental de 194 parejas heterosexuales. El diseño del estudio fue de tipo instrumental, debido a que se realizó la validación de una nueva medida de soledad; y correlacional, al realizarse un análisis de correlación de Pearson entre los factores obtenidos de soledad y los estilos de apego. Como resultado a la validación se obtuvieron 5 factores: acompañamiento de los amigos, acompañamiento de la pareja, acompañamiento de la familia, sentimiento de vacío y añoranza, de los cuales, los dos últimos no habían sido obtenidos en la versión original. Finalmente, al analizar las relaciones entre estilos de apego y soledad, se observaron datos interesantes que señalan la importancia del acompañamiento de la pareja cuando se tiene apego seguro, y de la familia y amigos cuando se tienen apegos ansiosos o evitantes, además de mayores índices de sentimientos de vacío y añoranza.

Foi estudada a síntese de filmes biodegradáveis (método casting) de amido de milho que foram incorporados com extrato de própolis-verde. Com a finalidade de verificar a influência da quantidade em massa de amido de milho, glicerina e extrato de própolis-verde, foi empregado o planejamento fatorial completo.  Os materiais sintetizados foram caracterizados por Espectroscopia na região do Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FTIR) e análise termogravimétrica, sendo ainda avaliadas suas propriedades organolépticas relacionadas ao aspecto visual e tátil. É possível inferir que os filmes biodegradáveis produzidos com quantidades intermediárias de amido de milho (quatro gramas) e mais elevadas de glicerina (um grama) podem facilmente ser aplicados como coberturas e proteção de produtos alimentícios, visto que, além dos mesmos serem removidos de maneira adequada da placa de suporte, apresentam características visuais adequadas. Além disso, foi evidenciado, pela análise termogravimétrica, que os mesmos são estáveis na temperatura ambiente e pela análise FTIR foi verificado que, em todas as formulações propostas no planejamento quimiométrico, está presente o extrato de própolis-verde que de, acordo com a literatura, constitui-se de uma mistura complexa de compostos que apresentam atividade antioxidante.

Apllication of spectroscopic and thermogravimetric analysis in biodegradable films of corn starch incorporated with propolis-green extract
Abstract
It was studied the biodegradable cornstarch films (casting method) synthesis with green propolis extract incorporated. In order to verify the cornstarch, glycerin and green propolis extract mass amount influence, the full factorial design was applied. The synthesized materials were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis. Their organoleptic related properties to tactile and visual aspects were also evaluated. It is possible to infer that biodegradable films produced with intermediate amounts of cornstarch (four grams) and higher glycerine amounts (one gram) can easily be applied as coatings and protection to food products, since these are properly removed from the support plate and presents suitable visual characteristics. In addition, it was evidenced by the thermogravimetric analysis that the cornstarch biofilms are stable at room temperature. It was verified by the FTIR analysis that the green propolis extract, which according to the literature it constitutes of a complex mixture of antioxidant activity compounds, is present in all chemometric planning proposed formulations.

A LITERATURE REVIEW ON MATERNAL MIGRATION: CASES OF CHINA, SRI LANKA, GUATEMALA, PHILIPPINES, AND POLAND
Authors: Teguihanon Jeany Rose , Cuaton Ginbert Permejo
Published: August 2020

The increasing and enhanced migration over borders amplified the interdependency between countries making it as one of globalization’s greatest indicator. The study of migration and its patterns involves analyzing different forces at play, in particular, the causes and impacts on the sending and receiving countries. Anchored on a qualitative research design, the data from secondary sources were gathered through desk research, and organized and analyzed using thematic analysis. This study takes an in-depth discussion and analysis of the degree and impacts of maternal labor migration, specifically in the countries of China, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Philippines and Poland. Findings demonstrate that the increase of ‘feminization’ of labor emigration has brought about concerns over the ‘crisis of care' when women and mothers leave. The focus on the impact of mother’s migration is in relation to the perception that although maternal migration has positive effects, i.e. improved livelihood income due to remittances, it could also present complex negative impacts to the welfare of families and children left behind.

For more than a century, American had the biggest economy and the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) about 24.1%. On the other side of the world. Recently, China with 15.1% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) placed as the second biggest and the most influential economy in the world in 2017 (World Bank, 2019). Therefore, China and United States together have over 40% of the world GDP with the huge spatial economic influence in the world. The impact of a trade war between the United States and China has a negative influence in other countries and regions in particular in the ASEAN countries. The ASEAN countries are very exposed to China and United States they are more vulnerable to trade war between the United States and China. This study first evaluates the degree of negative impact of China and United States trade war on ASEAN countries. After that, show how an effective regional economic integration can minimize such problems in future. This research is based on available secondary data in United States government reports (e.g., United States Department of State, Office of United States trade) and (e.g. OCBC Bank and ASEAN). Based on data and research the descriptive-analytical method is used in this paper.

Benchmarking and Improving Dimensional Quality on Modular Construction Projects – A Case Study
Authors: Rausch Christopher , Edwards Chloe , Haas Carl
Published: August 2020

Dimensional quality plays a key role in project success for modular construction. While approaches exist for reducing rework associated with dimensional variability in traditional construction (i.e., onsite resolution), more proactive approaches must be employed during offsite production of modules. Unfortunately, the stricter dimensional quality demands in modular construction are not yet completely addressed in existing guidelines or studies. As such, contractors often must resort to use of reactive measures to reduce rework. This paper bridges this gap by demonstrating how to implement continuous benchmarking and improvement of dimensional quality by comparing as-built and nominal 3D geometric data across modular construction projects. A case study is presented for two nearly identical modular construction projects, which are carried out in succession. The first project is used to quantify and benchmark key impacts on overall dimensional quality, while strategic improvements are introduced in the second project to improve quality and reduce rework. The results of this study demonstrate how contractors can achieve adequate dimensional quality and reduce rework on successive modular construction projects.

Automation is the best solution for achieving high productivity and quality in the construction industry at reduced cost and time. The main objective of this study is to develop an economical automated construction system (ACS) for low-rise buildings. The incremental development of the construction system and the structural system through different versions of laboratory prototypes are described in this paper. These ACS prototypes adopt a top-down construction method. This method involves the building of the structural system step by step from the top floor to the bottom floor by connecting and lifting structural modules. ACS prototype 1 consist of wooden structural modules and electric motor system. ACS prototype 2 has a highly automated custom designed hydraulic motor system to construct steel structural frame. ACS prototype 3 is a partially automated system where the steel structural modules are connected manually. These prototypes were evaluated on the basis of function, cost and efficiency of operations. Based on overall performance, ACS prototype 3 is identified as the best economical option for the construction of low-rise buildings. When the speed of construction is more important than cost, the ACS prototype 2 is the apt solution. This paper describes the challenges in developing an ACS and the criteria to evaluate its performance. It also includes a preliminary framework for the development of an automated construction monitoring system and its experimental evaluation. This machine learning-based framework is to identify the operations of ACS from sensor measurements using Support Vector Machines. Most of the operations are identified reasonably well and the best identification accuracy is 96%. The future studies are focusing on to improve the accuracy of operation identification, further development of the monitoring system and the ACS for actual implementation in construction sites.

Computer Vision (CV) is an interdisciplinary scientific field that discusses how computers can gain a high-level understanding of digital images or video. A system has been created that is capable of detecting a compact fluoresence lamp (CFL) light. However, in previous research there is no justification that the lamp is only a part that can glow on the lamp alone and has not been done in multi-lamp testing. This study aims to compare the lamp segmentation when it goes OFF and ON so that it could be justified the accuracy of this system and does multi-lamp testing. The method used is an experiment with collecting data by direct observation of the results of the system made. The system consists of a single board computer and a common webcam. The result is the difference between the lamp segmentation when it goes OFF and ON is small with the appropriate threshold setting. So that lamp light imaging had been made could function with good reability.

Culturas em diálogo

No início deste século, o conflito entre as culturas percorre o mapa-múndi como um meridiano em chamas. Por um lado, esse conflito parece uma válvula de escape para antigos conflitos de classe e, por outro, manifesta-se nesse conflito um novo potencial destrutivo, que não pode ser explicado com o instrumental clássico das ciências sociais. O diálogo intepcultural se entende como um tom inter e transdisciplinar para a construção de um novo instrumental teórico e prático em favor da paz da humanidade que convive numa tensa vizinhança universal. Depois de refletir as condições fundamentais para o diálogo intercultural, o Autor propõe, inspirado por místicos como Nicolau de Cusa e Mestre Eckhart, o paradigma da "concomitância diferenciada e articulada que resgata o silêncio entre as palavras e o mistério no desencantamento, gumdando no kairós histórico a memória de toda a história e na parcialidade de cada cultura os anseios de todos.Abstract: As the century begins, the conflict between cultures travels over the world map like a meridian on fire. On the one hand, this conflict seems like an escape valve for the old class conflicts and, on the othel; it carries within a new destructive potential that cannot be explained with the help of the traditional instruments ofthe social sciences. The intercultural dialogue expands in theform ofan interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary forum that attempts to build new theoretical and practical instruments in favour of peacefor this mankind that coexists in such a tense universal community. Having reflected on the fundamental conditionsfor the intercultural dialogue, the Author, inspired by mystics such as Nicolau of Cusa and Master Eckhart, proposes the paradigm of "diffaentiated and articulated concomitance" that rescues the silence existing between words and the mystery in disenchantment, keeping in the historical reco'ds the memory of all history and in thepartiality ofeach cultuæ the hopes ofall cultures.
