External Dacryocystorhinostomy with Silicone stent in Anatomical and Functional primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction
Authors: Narasimha Naik Vasu , V Kumar
Published: June 2020

To compare the benefits and complications of External dacryocysto rhinostomy (EXDCR) with Silicone tube (ST) intubation in anatomical primary acquired naso lacrimal duct obstruction (APANDO)and functional primary acquired naso lacrimal duct obstruction(FPANDO) patients.

Patients with epiphora/discharge/mucocele are grouped into group A (APANDO) and group B (FPANDO) based on diagnostic probe test, positive syringing and Fluorescein Dye Disapearance (FDD) test. Both group underwent EXDCR with ST intubation. Patients were evaluated for subjective and objective resolution of epiphora/discharge/mucocoele, complications and subjective satisfaction at the end of 6 months.

There were 23 patients each in group A and group B and no difference in demographic and laterality of eye involvement. Epiphora was common presentation in FPANDO (91%) and discharge in APANDO (57%). (P =0.01). The success rate is 78.3% (18/23) in group A and 86.9% (20/23) in group B and the difference is not significant (P=0.69). Tube related complications are high in group B 82.6% ( = 0.01) and inflammation related complications in group A 61.2% (P=0.49). In group A 82.6% (19/23) and group B 73.9% (17/23) were satisfied with the procedure (P =0.72). Tube related complication and additional financial burden are the main factors for dissatisfaction in group B (= 0.72)

Use of silicone tube does not alter the success rate of EXDCR in APANDO and FPANDO. Preoperative counseling and eye health educations are very important before doing such procedure on rural population.

Published: June 2020

Appendicitis is one of the main causes of acute abdominal surgery; however, the accurate diagnosis of appendicitis has remained uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the serum calprotectin as a diagnostic indicator for acute appendicitis. This prospective study was conducted on 79 patients suspected of acute appendicitis who underwent an appendectomy and 70 healthy volunteers. The correlation of serum calprotectin level and histopathological results was investigated. Screening performance characteristics of calprotectin (CP) were calculated on patients suspected with acute appendicitis. The mean serum calprotectin level in the patients was 0.791±0.148 mg/dl with a minimum of 0.567 mg/dl and a maximum of 1.26 mg/dl. The serum calprotectin ranged from 0.10 mg/dl to 0.50 mg/l in the healthy group. The AUC of CP was 0.58 (95% CI: 0.43-0.73). At a 0.72 mg/dl cutoff value, CP had 70% (95% CI: 58-82) sensitivity and 50% (95% CI: 39-61) specificity. According to the main finding of our study, the accuracy and sensitivity of serum CP in the detection of patients with acute appendicitis is good, and it seems that it can be used beside clinical symptoms for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Published: June 2020

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is an invasive method for identifying genetic and metabolic diseases, which is done in the first trimester of pregnancy and can cause many complications. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the correlation between Transabdominal chorionic villus sampling and fetal distress in color Doppler sonography. This study is experimental (before and after). All pregnant women with minor thalassemia in which their husbands were suffering from minor thalassemia or have a history of a child with major thalassemia and after the 12th week of pregnancy were referred to the ultrasound department. RI for fetal Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) and Umbilical Artery (UA) before and after of CVS were measured and then statistically analyzed using SPSS 22. CVS did not cause a significant increase in RI for the fetal middle cerebral artery (P>0.05). CVS did cause a significant increase in RI for the umbilical artery (P<0.05). Then, CVS did cause a significant decrease in the ratio of RI for fetal Middle Cerebral Artery to RI for Umbilical Artery (P<0.05). Based on these results, it seems that CVS can cause distress in the fetus.

Este artículo examina los repertorios de contestación de trabajadores y estudiantes en Chile y la relación de ello con el espacio público, durante los primeros doce años del siglo xxi. Con base en las Cronologías del Conflicto Social del Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales, se han elaborado catálogos de acciones contestatarias describiendo sus formas, adversarios y el carácter de las demandas de cada actor, para construir los repertorios de contestación. Se explora cómo estos últimos implican un uso y apropiación diferencial del espacio público, constituyéndose así en el punto característico del impacto público e institucional que las movilizaciones tienen en la discusión política de cada actor.
Confianza interpersonal y corrupción en Perú: análisis de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales
Authors: Cohaila Edwin
Published: June 2020

El presente artículo analiza, a través de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (sem), los efectos de la percepción de la lucha contra la corrupción por parte de instituciones políticas y sociales, las prácticas de microcorrupción del individuo, y la actitud de tolerancia a la corrupción con relación a la confianza interpersonal. Para ello se ha utilizado la encuesta nacional de corrupción de 2017 realizada por Proética, además de construir dos modelos donde la confianza cumple roles diferentes. El modelo con buen ajuste establece que la tolerancia tiene un efecto negativo, mientras que la lucha contra la corrupción y las prácticas de microcorrupción tienen un efecto directo. Esto último pareciera contradictorio, pero denota particularidades de la cultura política peruana.
Financiarización e inversiones de los fondos de pensiones en la Alianza del Pacífico
Authors: Pardo López Steven , Pico Bonilla Claudia Milena
Published: June 2020

Las reformas recientes a las pensiones en América Latina adoptaron un sistema multipilar como respuesta al cambio demográfico y a las necesidades de ahorro. Algunos de estos nuevos esquemas previsionales fortalecieron los sistemas financieros nacionales y acercaron las economías al proceso de financiarización. Este documento caracteriza, desde un enfoque descriptivo, la relación que surge entre los sistemas pensionales con capitalización individual y la financiarización de la economía para el caso de la Alianza del Pacífico. A partir de un análisis factorial concluye que las inversiones pensionales de Chile, Colombia, México y Perú exhiben una relación de dependencia con la inversión agregada y que particularmente las inversiones destinadas al sector financiero revisten mayor relevancia para el conjunto de los países bajo examen.

Authors: Uharte Pozas Luis Miguel
Published: June 2020

El presente artículo analiza la cultura política de la izquierda paraguaya en torno a tres aspectos: identificar sus rasgos centrales y compartidos; desentrañar los ámbitos de disputa más destacados que se dan dentro de ella (rural versus urbano), y señalar algunos de los rasgos que la pueden ir reconfigurando en el futuro. Respecto a la metodología, se han usado las técnicas de observación participante y no participante a lo largo de diversas estancias en el país y las entrevistas tanto semiestructuradas como informales. Se concluye que a mediano plazo la izquierda paraguaya se impregnará de un perfil más urbano y más feminista por los cambios socioeconómicos e ideológicos.
Quien aún esté vivo, que no diga “nunca”. Encrucijadas y desafíos de la categoría marxista de clase para leer las resistencias contemporáneas
Authors: De la Vega Candela
Published: June 2020

Este ensayo parte de diagnosticar una tendencia del uso selectivo y excluyente de la analítica marxista de la clase para dar cuenta de los históricamente variados procesos de movilización política en las sociedades latinoamericanas. Se exploran algunos motivos y consecuencias del rechazo (implícito o no) de la teoría marxista y su enfoque de la clase para explicar la constitución de sujetos políticos que no pueden ser reconocidos, prima facie, como sujetos “típicamente clasistas”. Considerando que no es posible ninguna crítica sin proponer alternativas, se plantea recuperar ciertas claves conceptuales de la clase como forma de pensar la constitución múltiple de sujetos políticos, con sus no menos heterogéneas experiencias de resistencia al capitalismo y al orden neoliberal.
A Domain-Specific Modelling Language for Adventure Educational Games and Flow Theory
Authors: Zahari Ana Syafiqah , Ab Rahim Lukman , Nurhadi Nur Aisyah , Aslam Mubeen
Published: June 2020

Designing educational games is a complex task and needs collaboration between game developers and an educator. Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) offers an approach to simplify the design activities of educational games and support the involvement of both game developers and educators. This paper presents an extension of Serious Game Logic and Structure Modeling Language (GLiSMo), a DSML that designs the logical and structural views of educational adventure games. The gap in the original GLiSMo is that it did not allow an educational game to be designed according to any learning theories. Furthermore, the original GLiSMo does not cover all concepts in the adventure genre. The authors intend to extend the original GLiSMo by adding the concepts of Flow Theory and concepts of the adventure genre to make it more expressive. The extended DSML is called FA-GLiSMo. The authors evaluated the expressiveness of FA-GLiSMo using Framework for Qualitative Assessment of DSLs (FQAD). The result shows that the expressiveness of FA-GLiSMo is still ‘incomplete’ due to the lack of clarity of semantics for several domain concepts. Improvements were performed, and the finalized FA-GLiSMo now has fifteen (15) concepts of the Logic diagram, nineteen (19) concepts of the Structure diagram, and a new diagram called the Flow diagram containing five (5) concepts of the Flow Theory. The authors also demonstrate in this paper the concrete syntax of FA-GLiSMo using the Tales of Monkey Island game as a case study.

Published: June 2020

This research focuses on a primary school timetabling problem, a small-scale primary school that is located at Pengerang, Johor. In this small-scale primary school, six classes have been allotted, from standard one until standard six. Most of the primary school timetables are manually developed, which is extremely time-consuming. According to the new policy announced on 12th Dec 2017by the Ministry of Education (MoE) Malaysia, due to the shortage of teachers, combined-classes should be implemented in low-enrolment schools with fewer than 30 students. MoE has introduced another policy on 30th June 2018 that recommends schools to reduce the number of subjects that are being taught in a day to solve the overloaded school bag issue. There is a set of hard constraints in this primary school timetabling problem due to the stipulation that a teacher can only teach one subject at a time; each subject must satisfy the total weekly period(s), and the combined classes can only combine one subject at a time. The main objective of this study is to propose a heuristic solution to this solves primary school timetabling problem with the consideration of combined-classes. A two-stage timetabling heuristic approaches been offered due to its simplicity in dealing with numerous constraints. The two-stage heuristic method was clustered into subject groups in the first stage to ease the timeslots allocation in the second stage. A clash-free timetable can be obtained from this proposed algorithm. The result generated by this proposed solution outperforms the current manual practice in solution quality and computing efficiency.

The purpose of this research to evaluate the effect of urea levels for ammoniated of oil palm trunk on in vitro digestibility and rumen fermentation characteristics. The treatment was A0 = Oil palm trunk without treated (control), A1: ammoniated oil palm trunk using 2% urea; A2: ammoniated oil palm trunk using 4% urea; A3: ammoniated oil palm trunk using 6% urea; A4: ammoniated oil palm trunk using 8% urea; A5: ammoniated oil palm trunk using 10% urea. The variables measured were in vitro digestibility such as dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and fiber fractions (NDF, ADF, cellulose and hemicellulose), concentration of NH3 and total of volatile fatty acid (VFA) and pH value. Data was analyzed using SAS program with analysis of variance test (ANOVA) and Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT). The results obtained showed that the using of urea with various levels of oil palm trunk ammoniation was significant (P<0.01) increased in vitro digestibility of dry matter (IVDM), organic matter (IVOM), crude protein (IVCP) and fiber fraction digestibility, pH value, NH3 and total of VFA concentration compared to control (A0). It can be concluded that the using of level 6% urea gave the best result for ammoniation of oil palm trunk such as  IVDM: 45.91%, IVOM: 46.33%, IVCP: 61.51% and in vitro digestibility of NDF: 43.34%, ADF: 38.20%, cellulose: 44.28%, hemicellulose: 63.25% whereas pH: 7.02, NH3: 9.02 mg/100 ml and total VFA: 99.57 mM respectively.
The Effect of Topographic Correction on Canopy Density Mapping Using Satellite Imagery in Mountainous Area
Authors: Umarhadi Deha Agus , Danoedoro Projo
Published: June 2020

One of the main factors contributing to radiometric distortion on remote sensing data is topographic effect, but it can be reduced by applying topographic correction. This study identifies the effect of topographic correction on canopy density mapping in Menoreh Mountains, Indonesia. Topographic correction methods examined in this research are C-Correction, Minnaert, and Sun-Canopy-Sensor+C (SCS+C). Canopy density estimation was approached using vegetation indices, i.e. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI), Aerosol Free Vegetation Index (AFRI) 1.6, and AFRI 2.1 derived from Landsat-8 OLI imagery. We evaluated the performance of topographic correction by visual and statistical analysis prior to comparing the accuracy of canopy density estimation of different vegetation indices and correction methods. The results showed that topographic normalization is able to increase the accuracy of canopy density mapping. The most significant improvement is the model using MSAVI which increases 1.207% using Minnaert method to reach 86.692% accuracy. Meanwhile, NDVI, AFRI 1.6, and AFRI 2.1 have less significant improvement with the maximum increase of 0.241%, 0.057%, and 0.032% using SCS+C method, reaching the accuracy of 88.980%, 83.303%, and 82.308%, respectively. The accuracies were slightly improved since the algorithms have already reduced the effect of topography which are categorized as ratio vegetation indices. SCS+C is the best topographic correction method, because of not only the appropriate assumption of canopy normalization but also its consistency and better accuracy in canopy density estimation among other methods.
Improving Faceted Search Results for Web-based Information Exploration

Published: June 2020

The World Wide Web (WWW), a fast-growing store, contains a significant portion of human knowledge. However, the sheer scale of the Web, along with the fact that it is decentralized, highly redundant, and largely inaccurate, causes the use of the knowledge is quite cumbersome. The present search engines (SEs) use the query, and the response lookup process is incapable of producing a precise result. Thus, researchers work beyond this paradigm to explore a new class of methods to seek information, which known as an exploratory search (ES). This ES is open-ended, and its faceted search (FS) improves the overall search process. The search engine presented in this study is running in the cloud computing platform environment. Its development is based on the idea of improving visual ES while exploring information on the Web. This notion reflects the process of seeking and combing the vast information by using the coordinated visualization method, apart from minimizing the effort spent in seeking information per query. Finally, we evaluate the proposed prototype against the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) search engine, an online database of information related to films, television programs, home videos, video games, and streaming content online including cast, production crew, and personal biographies, plot summaries, trivia, fan, and critical reviews, and ratings.  The results show that the proposed search engine gives more relevant search results as compared with the others.

Molecular genetic bases of seed resistance to oxidative stress during storage
Authors: Shvachko N. A. , Khlestkina E. K.
Published: June 2020

Conservation of plant genetic diversity, including economically important crops, is the foundation for food safety. About 90 % of the world’s crop genetic diversity is stored as seeds in genebanks. During storage seeds suffer physiological stress consequences, one of which is the accumulation of free radicals, primarily reactive oxygen species (ROS). An increase in ROS leads to oxidative stress, which negatively affects the quality of seeds and can lead to a complete loss of their viability. The review summarizes data on biochemical processes that affect seed longevity. The data on the destructive effect of free radicals towards plant cell macromolecules are analyzed, and the ways to eliminate excessive ROS in plants, the most important of which is the glutathioneascorbate pathway, are discussed. The relationship between seed dormancy and seed longevity is examined. Studying seeds of different plant species revealed a negative correlation between seed dormancy and longevity, while various authors who researched Arabidopsis seeds reported both positive and negative correlations between dormancy and seed longevity. A negative correlation between seed dormancy and viability probably means that seeds are able to adapt to changing environmental conditions. This review provides a summary of Arabidopsis genes associated with seed viability. By now, a significant number of loci and genes affecting seed longevity have been identified. This review contains a synopsis of modern studies on the viability of barley seeds. QTLs associated with barley seed longevity were identified on chromosomes 2H, 5H and 7H. In the QTL regions studied, the Zeo1, Ale, nud, nadp-me, and HvGR genes were identified. However, there is still no definite answer as to which genes would serve as markers of seed viability in a certain plant species.
Behawioralne czynniki lokalizacji hoteli – studium przypadku obiektów z województwa opolskiego
Authors: Puciato Daniel
Published: June 2020

Wybór lokalizacji hotelu jest jedną z kluczowych decyzji gospodarczych. We współczesnej ekonomii coraz częściej kwestionuje się klasyczne czynniki, za podstawy uznając niedoskonałą konkurencję, ograniczoną racjonalność zachowań oraz pozyskiwanie informacji w niepełnym zakresie lub brak umiejętności ich wykorzystania. Znalazło to również odzwierciedlenie w teorii lokalizacji, w ramach której powstał nurt behawioralny. Jego zwolennicy zakładają występowanie pozaekonomicznych, subiektywnych czynników podejmowania decyzji lokalizacyjnych. Wciąż nierozpoznane empirycznie są jednak mieszczące się w tym nurcie przesłanki decydujące o wyborze lokalizacji hoteli. W kontekście tak sformułowanych luk badawczych celem artykułu jest próba identyfikacji behawioralnych czynników lokalizacji hoteli z województwa opolskiego. W pracy wykorzystano cztery główne metody badawcze: przegląd literatury, dokumentacyjną, sondażu diagnostycznego oraz indywidualnych przypadków. Uzyskane wyniki badań potwierdziły istotne znaczenie podejścia behawioralnego w procesie wyboru lokalizacji hoteli niezależnych z województwa opolskiego. Wiąże się to z wyborem lokalizacji wtórnej lub pierwotnej. W tym drugim przypadku, w sytuacji gdy zastosowanie podejścia obiektywnego nie wiązało się z uzyskaniem pewności, że postanowienia są słuszne, czynniki behawioralne odgrywały najważniejszą rolę w procesie decyzyjnym lub stanowiły jego uzupełnienie. Za kluczowe w tym kontekście należy uznać takie czynniki behawioralne, jak: intuicja, naśladownictwo, doświadczenie, miejsce pochodzenia i zamieszkania, przypadek oraz wpływ osób znaczących.

Authors: Dhandhalya M. G. , Tarpara V. D. , Chavda Haresh , Purohit V. L.
Published: June 2020

This paper has provided insights on the returns to investment in groundnut research and sources of productivity in Gujarat state from 1990-91 to 2011-12. Two outputs and ten inputs have been used to construct total output, total input and total factor productivity index using Tornqvist Theil Index technique. Compound growth rates were worked out using semi-log trend equation. Although the area under groundnut decreased yet, the production and productivity increased significantly at the rate of 5.10 and 5.24 per cent per annum, respectively during the study period. The groundnut registered higher TFP growth of about 2.21 per cent per annum in last two and half decades resulting in annual decline of 0.27 per cent in real cost of production. The Investment on groundnut research generated 27.10 per cent IRR thus, found to be a highly paying proposition. The growth in TFP was remarkably increased in nineties largely contributed by the release of groundnut varieties viz., GG-2 in 1986, GG-20 and GG-12 in 1991, GG-13 in 1994. The government expenditure on research, extension education, irrigation infrastructure and rainfall generated significant returns. The steady growth in TFP needs to be maintained by enhancing the resources which have contributed to productivity. More public and private investments, in under developed regions of the state are needed to strengthen agricultural research and rural infrastructure. The sufficient procurement at MSP is essential to enhance farm income.

Por meio da análise de documentos produzidos por ambos os governos, procura-se demonstrar as estratégias de penetração da influência estadunidense na educação rural, em particular seu processo de ressignificação, de uma dimensão escolar voltada a crianças e jovens para outra destinada a qualificar, pelo e para o trabalho, o adulto rural analfabeto.
Sensibilidad gustativa a la faniltiocarbamida en poblaciones mayas
Authors: Aréchiga Viramontes Julieta , Mejía Sánchez Mercedes
Published: June 2020

Se presentan los resultados que se obtuvieron al estudiar en varios grupos indígenas mayas la capacidad para percibir el gusto de la feniltiocarbamida (PTC). El polimorfismo de dicha percepción muestra diversas frecuencias en las distintas poblaciones del mundo, que son casi análogas a los factores sanguíneos. Esto nos permite caracterizar de manera mas exacta a determinada población, teniendo en cuenta los factores genéticos. Se encontró que los chujes (varones y mujeres) del poblado de Tziscao muestran los porcentajes mas bajos de sujetos no gustadores de la PTC; los siguen los chontales, los tojolabales y por último los chujes de San Mateo Ixtatán Lo anterior demuestra que entre los chujes, de ambos poblados, se dan las mayores diferencias en cuanto a la característica antes señalada.

La comparación de edificios semiterminados del período Clásico Terminal muestra que Xkipché yarras ciudades en el área Puuc experimentaron un colapso rápido y fueron abandonadas por la elite. Este fenómeno recuerda al colapso de las ciudades mayas clásicas de las Tierras Bajas del sur. Se discuten las posibles causas que pueden haber llevado al abandono de las ciudades del Puuc. Se sostiene que cambios políticos en la región provocados por la hegemonía de Chichén Itzá en el norte de Yucatán a finales del Período Clásico Terminal y a principios del Posrclásico son las causas mas probables de ese abandono.

Authors: Acuña René
Published: June 2020

La TheologiaIndorumde Vico sobrevive a través de numerosas copias y versiones indígenas, pero nunca fue traducida a alguna lengua europea. Un trabajo mayor por un gran lingüista, la Theologia de Vico dio nacimiento a varias gramáticas coloniales y diccionarios hechos por los frailes dominicos y franciscanos. Se ofrece aquí un estudio breve sobre un manuscrito quiché, Americain 10 y, por primera vez, una traducción al español de algunos de sus capítulos. También se incluyen notas críticas y un trabajo paleográfico comparativo con otras copias cakchiqueles, quichés y zutuhiles.

RELEXÕES SOBRE O CONCEITO DE BELO E SUBLIME ESTENDENDO-SE A ARTE CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Hummes Julia Maria , Dal Bello Márcia Pessoa , Dal Bello Ubyrajara Brasil
Published: June 2020

Resumo: este artigo, de caráter ensaístico, não tem a intenção de trazer respostas, mas sim visa referendar alguns autores que trataram do tema do Belo e o Sublime. Num primeiro momento, traz o conceito de belo segundo a perspectiva de Emmanuel Kant (1978, 1993, 1995, 2005, 2006), cujo significado relaciona-se mais diretamente ao juízo do gosto, o qual é essencialmente subjetivo.  Já o sublime, para Kant, está mais ligado aos conceitos objetivos de poder e de grandeza, embora conservando muitas características semelhantes ao belo. Esse autor procurou expressar o conceito de sublime por categorias, tais como: “sublime terrível”, “sublime nobre” e “sublime magnífico”, o que implica uma subjetividade ainda maior que o próprio belo, o qual está mais ligado às questões do “gostar” ou “não gostar”. Num segundo momento, o texto apresenta o diálogo de alguns autores com Imanuel kant, acerca do tema do belo e o sublime, tais como: Deleuze (1963), Jimenez (1999), Schopenhauer (2003), Burke (2008), Eco (2014), de modo a expandir a reflexão sobre esses dois conceitos fundamentais no campo das artes. Finalizando aponta para caminhos mais contemporâneos da Arte.
Digital Deviance as a Phenomenon of New Social Reality: Methodological Foundations and Conceptualization
Authors: Kostolomova Marina V.
Published: June 2020

This article deals with the current issue to develop the phenomena and processes, which characterize the transition to new social reality in a global course for the universal digitization of human life. Referring to the existing polemical and negative discourse in the academic circles as to digital technology influencing man, the author’s focus turns to the question of how digital technology influences an average member of society. To answer this question, one should take into account not only “liquid” social reality, but digital trends. The paper presents the author’s definition of theirs. Further, the author refers to deviance study as part of sociological knowledge through which it is possible to make a comprehensive analysis of the social destruction. By using a historiographic analysis it is concluded that, not rejecting the described theories, in the transition to digital social reality there is a need for specifying and conceptualizing the theory of deviant behaviour adequate to the changing times in society. The reasons given for deviant behaviour the author provides the fundamental and system-creating processes of society as a whole. Among the reasons of no small important analyzed by the author, for instance, the impact of globalization or the substantial transformations of science and education, the changes in happening to modern man under the influence of the digital environment are emphasized. The author notes that modern man has new social-psychological traits, conditions, characteristics. The paper gives their description classified according to their influence on the member of society. When being more approximately studied by researchers, these new conditions, reactions and traits blend in the new forms of deviance. The article also theorises the author’s definition of digital deviance (digital deviant behaviour), its peculiarities and typology. An empirical study on measuring digital deviance by computing the relevant indicators is intended to be conducted.

Authors: Vittenderg Evgeny Ya.
Published: June 2020

The empirical basis for writing this article is based on three sociological researches of Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS made by order and with financial support from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia), National Bureau of credit histories (NBCH) and the Russian Bank of support of small and medium enterprises (SME Bank) in 2013, 2015 and 2019, that is, before the crisis, in the midst of crisis and in the early post-crisis period. All three studies were initiated by the Association of Russian banks (ARB). Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of assessments of the Central Bank’s monetary policy in public opinion at various historical stages and its impact on the level of public confidence in the banking system as a whole. The article analyzes objective and subjective reasons that negatively affect the level of public confidence in banks. Among them, the problems of reducing the living standards of the population, mass revocation of licenses from commercial banks, falling investment attractiveness of storing funds by individuals in banks, etc. are analyzed. In conclusion, the first part of the article provides recommendations based on the results of the study to restore and strengthen public confidence in banks through a more responsible and flexible monetary policy, increase the transparency of the banking community and expand information about its activities, promote financial literacy, systematic sociological monitoring of the population’s attitude to banks and scientific and practical understanding of its results.

Authors: Braga Marcela Falcão , Valle Ivan Manoel Rezende do , Rocha Cláudia Maria Miranda Alencar
Published: June 2020

O arquiteto precisa lidar, nas suas atribuições profissionais, com as medidas de Segurança Contra Incêndio (SCI) no projeto das edificações, sendo imprescindível uma sólida formação sobre esse assunto. No entanto, ainda é frágil a participação desses profissionais no processo de inserção dessas medidas na concepção do projeto, devido à deficiência no ensino dos cursos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo do Brasil. Por isso, cabe às instituições de ensino garantir o acesso a esse tema em sua grade curricular, para que o arquiteto tenha, em sua formação, noções de segurança contra incêndio suficientes para conceber um projeto arquitetônico otimizado. O objetivo do presente artigo é avaliar o ensino de SCI em um curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo do Brasil. A investigação da situação do ensino dessa instituição foi realizada por meio da análise do projeto pedagógico do curso, dos planos das disciplinas e de trabalhos de conclusão de curso concebidos por alunos. Os resultados confirmaram a deficiência no ensino, e a partir deles foi possível apontar onde estão as principais lacunas no ensino da instituição. Espera-se que o resultado deste estudo promova reflexões para mudanças nos programas pedagógicos de cursos de graduação em Arquitetura e Urbanismo das Instituições de Ensino Superior brasileiras e que, consequentemente, contribua para o desenvolvimento profissional e para a maior segurança das edificações.
Retenção da água da chuva pelo telhado verde com pré-moldado cimentício com EVA
Authors: Mendonça Tatyane Martins , Melo Aluísio Braz
Published: June 2020

Os problemas de inundação nas vias urbanas, decorrentes da combinação da ocorrência de fortes chuvas e excesso de impermeabilização dos espaços urbanos, têm causado sérios prejuízos às cidades brasileiras. O telhado verde com sua capacidade de retenção da água de chuva é uma interessante alternativa para reduzir as descargas nos sistemas de drenagem urbana. No presente artigo, procura-se analisar o potencial de retenção dessas águas, a partir de um telhado verde, proposto com pré-moldados cimentícios com agregados leves de Etileno Vinila de Acetato (EVA), originados de resíduos da indústria de calçados. Para isso, foram comparados resultados a partir de monitoramentos dos volumes de chuvas sobre o telhado verde proposto e coberturas convencionais, todos instalados em protótipos. Adicionalmente, foi feita simulação para estimar a capacidade de retenção das águas de chuvas num cenário hipotético, no qual uma pequena parcela das coberturas das edificações da cidade fosse instalada o telhado verde proposto. A contribuição adicional na retenção das águas de chuvas devido à presença dos agregados leves nos módulos foi confirmada. Também foi demonstrada que a capacidade de retenção da água de chuva pelo telhado verde proposto pode variar entre 73,3% e 90,5%, conforme o solo esteja seco ou úmido, respectivamente. Os volumes de retenção estimados na simulação para a cidade podem ser de até 4 milhões de litros/dia na condição de solo seco no telhado verde, o que indica que, caso este tipo de cobertura seja incentivado nas edificações, há potencial para mitigar os problemas de enchentes nas vias da cidade.
Effects of alkalisation and volume fraction reinforcement of Bombyx mori silk fibre on the flexural strength of dental composite resins
Authors: Widyasrini Dyah Anindya , Sunarintyas Siti
Published: June 2020

Background: Composite resins are widely used in dentistry to restore dental caries. Recently, short fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) resins have been widely used for high-stress areas, especially in posterior teeth. Bombyx mori silk fibre is under research to reinforce dental composite resin as it has good mechanical properties. Purpose: This study aims to obtain the effects of alkalisation and silk fibre volume fraction on the flexural strength of FRC. Methods: Bombyx mori silk fibres were obtained from Perhutani, Pati, Indonesia. Samples were divided into two alkalisation groups (4% and 8%). Alkalisation of the silk fibres was conducted through the scouring process in NaOH, hydrolysis (30% H2SO4) and drying. Silk fibres were then reinforced in a resin matrix. The samples were subdivided based on the fibre volume fraction reinforcements, which were 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. Each group of samples consisted of three specimens (n = 3). Flexural strength was measured using a universal testing machine. Data were analysed by two-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) and post-hoc least significant difference test (p < 0.05). Results: The results showed the flexural strength (MPa) means of the 4% alkalisation group were 169.31 ± 54.28 (0%), 76.08 ± 43.69 (5%), 107.86 ± 40.61 (10%) and 101.99 ± 10.61 (15%). The flexural strength (MPa) means of the 8% alkalisation group were 169.31 ± 54.28 (0%), 82.62 ± 22.41 (5%), 111.07 ± 32.89 (10%) and 153.23 ± 23.80 (15%). Statistical analysis by ANOVA indicated that the fibre volume fraction affected the flexural strength of composite resins. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the volume fraction of silk fibre increases the flexural strength of composite resins, although the strength is not as high as a composite resin without fibres. However, the alkalisation percentage did not affect the flexural strength of composite resins, and there was no interaction between alkalisation percentage and fibre volume fraction with the flexural strength of composite resins.
