Business-managed IT – Rahmenbedingungen für mehr IT-Verantwortung durch den Fachbereich
Authors: Hausladen Iris , Sylla Philipp
Published: July 2020

In einer zunehmend digitalen Arbeitswelt gewinnt die Frage an Bedeutung, wie IT-Aufgaben bestmöglich abgewickelt und organisiert werden können. Aktuelle Entwicklungen führen hierbei vermehrt dazu, dass IT-Tätigkeiten, mit der Zustimmung der IT-Abteilung, durch einzelne Fachbereiche übernommen werden. Im Hinblick auf diese sogenannte Business-managed IT stehen Unternehmen allerdings vor der Herausforderung, zu beurteilen, wann mehr Verantwortung von der IT-Abteilung an den Fachbereich übertragen werden kann. Durch eine systematische Literaturanalyse werden in diesem Beitrag sieben relevante Kontextfaktoren identifiziert, welche Unternehmen bei diesen Entscheidungen unterstützen sollen. Diese Faktoren werden in drei Dimensionen zusammengefasst: (1) Aufgabe (Spezifität der Applikation, Unsicherheit, Nutzungsumfang und Risiken der Applikation), (2) Mensch (IT-Wissen im Fachbereich und Fachbereichswissen in der IT-Abteilung) und (3) Technologie (Grad der Applikationsintegration).
¿Perífrasis cuasisinónimas? Una regresión logística aplicada a las incoativas expresadas con ponerse y meterse
Authors: Comer Marie
Published: July 2020

El presente artículo propone un estudio de corpus sobre dos construcciones incoativas cuasisinónimas en español con ponerse y meterse (“to put”). Partiendo del principio universal de la economía lingüística, el documento pretende identificar empíricamente las variables que potencialmente determinan la elección del hablante entre los dos verbos a la hora de expresar un evento incoativo. Se investiga si la elección depende de un conjunto de variables relacionadas con el sujeto, el auxiliar, el infinitivo y/o la naturaleza de la propia perífrasis. La diferencia entre los cuasisinónimos está determinada principalmente por el grado de asociación entre el auxiliar y el infinitivo, la connotación (negativa vs. neutra) subyacente de la construcción, el tipo de oración (afirmativa vs. negativa), el aspecto gramatical del auxiliar y el género textual en el que aparece la perífrasis.

Abstract: Gender violence consists of a rising world phenomenon that wounds human dignity by countering equality among peoples, with fatal outcomes occurring in all social classes and preferably within the domestic sphere. Corresponding to the male population the exercise of domination by physical and psychological force usually against their partner. The purpose of this study was to understand the perception of the women assisted in the Basic Health Units on gender violence, as well as to know what the BHUs are / can do to prevent it in its territoriality. For this, an integrative review of the literature was carried out, where articles were selected in the databases Scielo, Pubmed and Lilacs, according to the descriptors Violence, woman, public health, gender. Inclusion criteria were articles that were consistent with the theme and were available in full between 2015 and 2018, in English and Portuguese, and excluding articles that did not meet the pre-established criteria. A total of 32 articles were found, in which 10 articles were selected. In which one can conclude the great fragility of the woman affected by violence by the fact that the companions are the main aggressors, involving extremely subjective factors, such as love, affection, the family built next to this man, these being the reasons for the challenge of breaking with violence and that the role of the UBS in relation to this type of violence still has a deficiency due to the little clarification that they have about the possibilities of conduct on the subject.Keywords: Violence.

Abstract: With the reality of the pandemic by COVID-19 extending to alarming levels, the coexistence forced by the need for social withdrawal, We observe the difficulty of maintaining mental stability increasingly discussed. The fear of contracting the disease, as well as thinking about its consequences, makes the population anxious. In this sense, age presents itself as the major risk factor for more severe manifestations of the disease, hence, elderly people are at greater vulnerability for the development of psychological and psychiatric disorders. It is important to ask how our elderly people are living, if a pandemic scenario would really be necessary for the population in question to have visibility. Talking about the health of the elderly both mentally and physically is everyone's duty. In any circumstance, it is up to society to ensure that they can live with health, vitality and the quality of life that every human being deserves.

Uma geografia sensível a um centro
Authors: El-Jaick Ana Paula Grillo
Published: July 2020

A poética de Marília Garcia, jovem poeta brasileira agraciada com o primeiro lugar do importante prêmio Oceanos de literatura de língua portuguesa em 2018, é o tema deste artigo, como uma leitura metonímica da produção de uma geração de poetas contemporâneos brasileiros. A abordagem se dá pelo viés flagrado pelo também poeta e tradutor Paulo Henriques Britto, que vê um cosmopolitismo entre tais jovens poetas. Neste texto, levanto a hipótese de que esse cosmopolitismo resvala em uma cartografia própria no trabalho de Garcia, em uma geografia desconcertante e de movimento incessante, tirando o leitor de seu lugar e colocando-o em território di/verso. Tal cosmopolitismo será entendido menos como uma antropofagia dos novíssimos poetas e mais como uma “mutuofagia” que não problematiza a “cor local” brasileira. Finalmente, defendo que o deslocamento é o procedimento poético por excelência de Garcia, como espécie de metodologia poética em que o método é o poema.
Mapas, fronteiras e outras criaturas indomáveis em busca de identidade
Authors: Kerinska Nikoleta
Published: July 2020

O presente texto elucida algumas questões substanciais da peça sonora de minha autoria “O discreto charme da democracia” (2018-2019). Ele se projeta além do limite do artigo acadêmico, recorrendo à plasticidade do ensaio literário, desejando que a escrita se emancipe da peça artística que é o seu primeiro elã. Sem visar uma dimensão metodológica do processo de criação, essa reflexão levanta algumas referências e laços sentimentais, esboçando uma breve análise dos elementos que motivaram o ato artístico: os mapas e as fronteiras que sintetizam o espaço e guiam as trajetórias. Enquanto o mapa apresenta a topologia do contexto de criação, as fronteiras, efetivadas como gestos gráficos, são vivas para contar suas histórias.

Komunikasi Antar Budaya Madura dan Yogyakarta (Studi Etnografi Adaptasi Speech Code Mahasiswa Madura pada Masyarakat Yogyakarta)
Authors: Mawalia Khefti Al , Sanityastuti Marfuah Sri
Published: July 2020

This research discusses the adaptation of speech code among Madurese students in Yogyakarta. Speech code adaptation involves intercultural communication; perception, verbal communication, and non-verbal communication. A qualitative method is employed in this study, using ethnographic approach as well as participant observation and in-depth interview. Speech code adaptation  among Madurese students in Yogyakarta could be seen from their intonation, accent, expression, and gesture. Different background of these students has contributed to their different perception and the way they construct the foundation for the process of adaptation with native citizen in Yogyakarta. It is found in this study that students from Madura who live in Yogyakarta adapt their speech code in such manners as; assimilation, separation, integration, and cultural hybridity. Assimilation is used among them to equate the two cultures in a way to maintain their Madurese culture and their attachment to the new culture in Yogyakarta. Separation is the way used by Madurese students to subsist in their own culture, to minimize the interaction, and to their way to cluster themselves in their own culture. Integration is one option among them to keep their own culture in regards to speech code, while it enables them to interact with Yogyakarta people. Cultural hybridity is a way that Madurese students carry out negotiation and adaptation process to gain positive perception within the host culture of Yogyakarta.[Penelitian ini membahas adaptasi logat di kalangan mahasiswa Madura di Yogyakarta. Adaptasi logat melibatkan komunikasi antar budaya yaitu persepsi, komunikasi verbal, dan komunikasi non-verbal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografi serta observasi partisipan dan wawancara yang intensif. Adaptasi logat di kalangan mahasiswa Madura di Yogyakarta dapat dilihat dari intonasi, akses, ekspresi dan gerak tubuh yang mereka gunakan. Latar belakang para mahasiswa yang berbeda turut membentuk persepsi mereka dan cara mereka dalam proses adaptasi dengan penduduk asli Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa mahasiswa yang berasal dari Madura di Yogyakarta mengadaptasi logat bicara dengan cara asimilasi, separasi, integrasi, dan hibrid budaya. Asimilasi dilakukan untuk menyamaratakan budaya yang berbeda dengan mempertahankan budaya Madura dan keterikatan mereka dengan budaya baru di Yogyakarta. Separasi adalah cara yang digunakan mahasiswa Madura ini untuk hidup dengan budaya mereka sendiri dan meminimalkan interaksi dengan cara mengelompokkan diri dengan teman sebudaya mereka sendiri. Integrasi adalah salah satu pilihan mereka untuk menjaga budaya mereka sendiri dalam hal logat dan memungkinkan mereka supaya dapat berinteraksi dengan masyarakat Yogyakarta. Hibrid budaya adalah cara mahasiswa Madura ini melakukan proses negoisasi dan adaptasi untuk memperoleh persepsi positif dalam kehidupan budaya tuan rumah yakni Yogyakarta.]
Agama dalam Masyarakat Post-Sekularisme Jurgen Habermas
Authors: Hedi Hedi
Published: July 2020

This paper aims to illustrate Habermas's thoughts on post-secularism, especially in regards to stretching religion which he believes that after secularism religion should be considered as in the public space. The study uses a political philosophy approach. In his findings, Habermas concluded that the role of religion can no longer be denied its presence in the political space. To minimize religious totalitarianism, Habermas divides public space into formal and informal settings, in which religion and politics appear to influence one to another. According to Habermas, religion can only present in an informal space. If people want to contribute in a formal space, they have to translate religious language into secular language.[Artikel ini menelaah pemikiran Habermas tentang pos-sekulerisme, khususnya berkenaan dengan kelonggaran peran agama yang ia yakini bahwa setelah terjadinya sekularisme, agama harus turut berperan dalam ruang publik. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan filsafat politik. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa, Habermas memandang saat ini (era pos-sekularisme) peran agama tidak lagi dapat ditolak kehadirannya di ruang publik. Untuk meminimalisir totalitarianisme agama, Habermas  membagi ruang publik menjadi aturan formal dan aturan informal, yang mana agama dan politik saling berkelindan dan mempengaruhi satu sama lain. Menurut Habermas, agama hanya dapat hadir dalam ruang informal. Jika masyarakat yang agamis hendak turut berkontribusi dalam ranah publik formal, mereka harus menerjemahkan bahasa agama mereka menjadi bahasa sekuler.]
Shift from Arabic to English
Authors: Rasul Sabir H.
Published: July 2020

Language is a living phenomenon; languages change, evolve and develop over time. One of the ways that languages change is through the influence of foreign languages, which is mainly reflected in loanwords. This paper addresses a new trend in translations produced in the Kurdish media, which is a shift from using Arabic loanwords to using English loanwords. Through a research questionnaire, this paper aims to attest whether the new observed trend is a mere perception or a factual phenomenon. The questionnaire aims at journalist-translators working between English and Kurdish. They are required to translate 40 fairly short English sentences (from journalistic genre) into Kurdish, each sentence containing one or more unmarked words that are thought to represent the aforementioned trend when translated into Kurdish. The results show that the use of Arabic loanwords in Kurdish journalistic translations is disproportionately low compared to English loanwords. Strikingly, the use of Kurdish equivalents is considerably high, given the fact that the chosen words are perceived to be normally translated as loanwords. Finally, over ten per cent of the translation occurrences demonstrate exceptional cases whereby the chosen words are translated by procedures such as near-synonymy, generalization and expansion.
Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1969), de João César Monteiro: A (im)possível perseguição cinematográfica da poesia
Authors: Mateus Rui Afonso
Published: July 2020

O artigo aborda o filme Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1969), de João César Monteiro, lendo-o como um ensaio cinematográfico sobre a essência da poesia e do próprio cinema que toma como matéria de trabalho a escrita da autora que dá título à obra. Propõe-se um percurso analítico pela estrutura e pelo conteúdo imagético do filme que o revela como um registo documental em que, apesar do esforço para a captação da pessoa de Sophia mediante a desconstrução da persona composta a partir da sua criação literária, foi impossível contornar a força da palavra escrita e das obsessões temáticas, intertextuais e até formais que singularizam o universo literário erigido pela autora até ao final dos anos 60. Mediante a identificação, no filme, de um arranjo estrutural de matriz essencialmente literária, o artigo examina o seu objeto enquanto veículo de captação fílmica da poesia – uma veleidade a que o seu realizador explicitamente se furtou num texto posterior – e explora os recursos – também eles de cunho marcadamente literário – que ativamente fazem desta obra um mecanismo cinematográfico de interrogação sobre o milagre poético que a escrita de Sophia configura, reconhecidamente, perante a crítica e o público.
“Um modo de relacionamento com a realidade”: Noções de poesia de Andrei Tarkovski
Authors: Vasconcelos Beatriz Avila
Published: July 2020

Neste estudo, que metodologicamente orienta-se pela Teoria dos Cineastas, exploro algumas ideias de Tarkovkski sobre poesia, expressas em declarações verbais suas, mostrando como essas ideias dão sustentação à sua própria concepção de cinema e de arte. Opostamente à noção de poesia como evasão ou como atividade simbólica , Tarkovski firma uma concepção de poesia (e de cinema) fundada numa experiência do real, experiência esta que demanda uma observação atenta dos fenômenos nos quais o tempo se imprime e que dá suporte à própria ontologia de seu cinema. Um diálogo das ideias do cineasta com ideias e práticas poéticas de outros poetas,  como seu pai Arseni Tarkovski,  Octavio Paz, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen e  haicaístas japoneses tradicionais também é feito, no sentido de ampliar a leitura das próprias ideias de Tarkovski, pondo-as em diálogo.

PENGUATAN REGULASI DAN PERJANJIAN: UPAYA OPTIMALISASI ANJAK PIUTANG SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF PEMBIAYAAN PERUSAHAAN
Authors: Abubakar Lastuti , Handayani Tri
Published: July 2020

Salah satu alternatif pembiayaan yang dapat digunakan oleh perusahaan dengan menggunakan asetnya sendiri adalah Anjak Piutang. Namun, pengaturan yang tidak tegas mengakibatkan praktik Anjak Piutang lebih mengarah pada pinjaman dengan jaminan daripada pembelian piutang. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari jenis Factoring with Recourse yang membebankan risiko piutang yang tidak tertagih kepada Klien (penjual piutang). Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penguatan regulasi dan perjanjian Anjak Piutang untuk mengoptimalkan Anjak Piutang sebagai alternatif pembiayaan perusahaan melalui pembelian piutang. Penguatan regulasi dapat dilakukan dengan memberikan pedoman dalam perjanjian Anjak Piutang untuk mencantumkan klausul buyback (pembelian kembali piutang) oleh perusahaan (klien) dalam Factoring with Recourse. Pengawasan terhadap penggunaan perjanjian baku menjadi salah satu upaya untuk memastikan perjanjian memenuhi esensi Anjak Piutang.

Published: July 2020

Objective: Intimal hyperplasia is the main cause of restenosis of vein grafts after venous transplantation. MicroRNAs are considered to play a role in vein graft restenosis; however, the expression profile of microRNAs in neointima has not been reported in detail. We wanted to investigate the differentially expressed microRNAs in the restenosis of vein grafts in rats.

Methods: We established a rat model for vein transplantation to explore the pathogenic roles of microRNAs during intimal hyperplasia. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to confirm intimal hyperplasia in the vein grafts. Changes in microRNA expression in the vein grafts were detected 3 and 14 days after surgery by sequencing, reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and bioinformatics analyses for functional annotation.

Results: We detected 711 newly predicted microRNAs among all the comparisons. Among these comparisons, 437 differentially expressed microRNAs were detected in the postoperative day 3 group versus the control group, 265 were detected in the postoperative day 14 group versus the control group, and 158 were detected in the postoperative day 14 group versus the postoperative day 3 group. Pathway analysis revealed significant enrichment of target genes that mediate Wnt, mitogen-activated protein kinase, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and regulation of actin cytoskeleton signaling.

Conclusion: Our results provide insight into the pathogenesis of restenosis and will help develop novel targets in the prevention and treatment of vein graft restenosis.
Applying a leverage points framework to the United Nations climate negotiations: The (dis)empowerment of youth participants
Authors: Yona Leehi , Dixon Marc D. , Howarth Richard B. , Kapuscinski Anne R. , Virginia Ross A.
Published: July 2020

Young people are both among the generations to be most affected by climate change and critical advocates for climate action. In the face of growing urgency surrounding the climate crisis, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has become an important institutional framework for political progress. We developed a community-based participatory action research project centered on youth involved in the COP climate negotiations. A “leverage points” approach guided our research; this paper is the first time the framework has been applied in an international negotiations context. Our findings point to the structural power, networks, and paradigms that youth might engage with for international climate justice work. We identify actionable leverage points through which youth organizers might increase their social power in the COP process to bring about climate action. Many of these leverage points are rooted in dynamics of power, which we expand upon and connect to broader literature. Moving forward, these findings can benefit and inform the strategies of youth as they participate in the COP process.
Recent Update of Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation for Pancreatobiliary Disease
Authors: Cho Jae Hee
Published: July 2020

Despite rapid changes in diagnosis and treatments, pancreatobiliary malignancy has increased in recent years and still has a poor prognosis. Although mainstay of treatment depends on the type of malignancy and the stage, only surgery can be expected to cure, but difficult to apply in all patients. Because most of them are diagnosed at locally advanced or metastatic at presentation, local treatment such radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and photodynamic therapy is emerged as promising therapeutic modality which can directly ablate the malignant tissues in addition to systemic anti-cancer treatment. To date, some studies could support beneficial effects of them, however it has not been confirmed whether RFA is related to favorable treatment outcomes in patient with pancreatobiliary malignancies. Therefore, this review focuses on clinical application and appropriate use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography guided intraductal RFA along with their benefits and complications.
EFFECTS OF 8 WEEKS CORE STRENGTH TRAINING ON CORE MUSCLE STRENGTH AMONG YOUNG MALE CYCLIST
Authors: Chok Kui Eng Stephanie Chok Binti
Published: July 2020

This study aimed to determine whether adding 8 weeks of core strength training program (3 sessions weekly) can improve cyclist core muscle strength. Six healthy male junior cyclist (age 15.8 ± 1 years, mass 62 ± 4 kg, height 170.2 ± 6 cm) volunteered for the study. Participants were instructed to perform 5 types of core exercises per session for a total of 24 sessions. For every session each movement were performed 20 repetitions for 3 sets. Comparison of pre and post-test data revealed significantly greater (p < 0.05) in this case study. These results suggest that is important for coaches to incorporate core strengthening exercises in their training routine.
Changes in Hamstring Eccentric Peak Torques and Angles of Peak Torque Following 90 Minutes of Soccer Specific Exertions
Authors: Hamdan Muhammad , Ang Geik Yong , Sharir Raihana , Yeo Wee Kian , Raja Azidin Raja Mohammed Firhad
Published: July 2020

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a ball-oriented soccer match-play simulation on the hamstrings eccentric torque production. Seven male recreational athletes volunteered for this study. Participants completed 90-minutes of the ball-oriented soccer simulation interceded by a 15-minute half time interval with five successful trials of hamstrings eccentric contractions on an isokinetic dynamometer at selected time points throughout the simulation. A 2 (limb: dominant; non-dominant) × 4 (time: 0 min; 45 min; 60 min; 105 min) “split-plots” analysis of variance (SPANOVA) revealed significant reductions in hamstrings eccentric peak torques over time, while no significant change was apparent in hamstrings eccentric angles of peak torque. There was also no interaction effect of limb dominance over time for both peak torque and angles of peak torque parameters. The observed changes suggest that exertions from a ball-oriented soccer match-play simulation may have detrimental effects on the hamstrings eccentric strength parameters thus may increase risk of ACL injury. High variabilities in angles of peak torques were also observed in this study. Future exploration is warranted in order to address the extent of variabilities that may be present in larger sample sizes thus providing a better understanding of the influence of these variabilities on the muscular strength parameters of ACL injury risk. The findings suggest firstly, that fatigue from soccer-specific exertions during match-play may increase an athlete’s susceptibility to ACL injury, and secondly, that with accumulating fatigue, the nondominant limb may be equally at risk of injury as the dominant limb, contradicting previous findings from epidemiological studies.
Loss of Heterozygosity and Base Mutation Rates Vary AmongSaccharomyces cerevisiaeHybrid Strains
Authors: Pankajam Ajith V , Dash Suman , Saifudeen Asma , Dutta Abhishek , Nishant Koodali T
Published: July 2020

A growing body of evidence suggests that mutation rates exhibit intra-species specific variation. We estimated genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (LOH), gross chromosomal changes, and single nucleotide mutation rates to determine intra-species specific differences in hybrid and homozygous strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutation accumulation lines of the S. cerevisiae hybrid backgrounds - S288c/YJM789 (S/Y) and S288c/RM11-1a (S/R) were analyzed along with the homozygous diploids RM11, S288c, and YJM145. LOH was extensive in both S/Y and S/R hybrid backgrounds. The S/Y background also showed longer LOH tracts, gross chromosomal changes, and aneuploidy. Short copy number aberrations were observed in the S/R background. LOH data from the S/Y and S/R hybrids were used to construct a LOH map for S288c to identify hotspots. Further, we observe up to a sixfold difference in single nucleotide mutation rates among the S. cerevisiae S/Y and S/R genetic backgrounds. Our results demonstrate LOH is common during mitotic divisions in S. cerevisiae hybrids and also highlight genome-wide differences in LOH patterns and rates of single nucleotide mutations between commonly used S. cerevisiae hybrid genetic backgrounds.

RESEARCH OF MOTION INTENSITY OF SPECIALIZED TRAIN TRAFFIC VOLUMES UNDER RISKS CONDITIONS
Authors: M. I. Muzykin
Published: July 2020

Purpose. The study aims to establish a rational variant for running of specialized train traffic volumes by managing risks and determining the dependence of the train motion interval on locomotive fleet and locomotive crews. It is possible to achieve this purpose by establishing the sequence of stages of the genetic algorithm for implementing a mathematical model for determining the movement intensity of specialized train traffic volumes. Methodology. The study examined the process of passing specialized train traffic volumes along railway corridors as part of a single logistics chain. We approached this process from the perspective of risk management when it is necessary to determine the train arrival time from different directions with the existing technological restrictions. The choice of rational interval between the trains running along the railway corridors is extremely important, since it allows the passage of specialized freight traffic volumes more efficiently in terms of delivery costs to the destination and the speed of this delivery. In order to implement an optimization mathematical model for determining the motion intensity of specialized train traffic volumes in railway directions, a real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) was used. Findings. The analysis proved the search efficiency of the rational option for establishing the motion intensity of specialized train traffic volumes, taking into account the railway costs for traction and the costs of consignees. A graph of the best and mean values of fitness function on the number of RGA iterations in the process of finding a solution is presented. Originality. As a result of the study, a software implementation of the mathematical model for determining the intensity of specialized train traffic volumes in the railway directions was developed taking into account the balance of rail costs for traction resources and the costs of consignee. This program allows you to simulate the choice of time of trains’ arrival to the final station of from different directions in the uncertainty conditions. An expert analysis of the obtained simulation results proved the adequacy of the solution. Practical value. This study allows us to establish the dependence of train motion interval on the locomotive fleet and locomotive crews. The search for the optimal interval of train traffic volumes using the developed mathematical model makes it possible to manage the associated risks and minimize operating costs on the specialized train traffic volumes.
Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane/epoxy coatings: a review
Authors: Seidi Farzad , Jouyandeh Maryam , Taghizadeh Ali , Taghizadeh Mohsen , Habibzadeh Sajjad , Jin Yongcan , Xiao Huining , Zarrintaj Payam , Saeb Mohammad Reza
Published: July 2020

Nowadays, there is a need for a paradigm shift in material selection for surface coatings so as to meet the requirements of advanced systems. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) are three-dimensional networks with a silica-like core covered by an organic shell, a promising nanosized structure for organic coatings. The use of POSS structures in coating materials has experienced an almost erratic period over the past decade, mainly because of the synthesis of POSS being exclusive and, to some extent, expressive. However, there has been a big return to the use of POSS in coatings during the last years. Epoxy is best known for its versatility of usage as an organic coating. Hybrid organic–inorganic POSS nanostructures with unique properties are a complement to the epoxy for coating applications. The tailorable compatibility and considerable reactivity of POSS molecules towards organic groups have made them promising candidates for emerging multifunctional epoxy coatings. In this sense, the focus of this review is placed on POSS/epoxy nanocomposite coatings. The thermal, mechanical, anti-corrosion and dielectric properties of POSS/epoxy coatings have been comprehensively studied and discussed.
Best groyne series as countermeasure against river bend scour
Authors: Bora Kaushik , Kalita Hriday Mani
Published: July 2020

A new approach for finding a cost-effective combination of groynes in a channel bend for the prevention of bend scour is presented. A linked simulation–optimisation model is proposed for this purpose. The morphological flow simulation model was developed by solving the shallow-water equations and the Exner sediment continuity equation in a boundary-fitted coordinate system. The optimisation model was developed utilising a binary-coded genetic algorithm. The proposed model can automatically provide a cost-effective groyne series in terms of their number, length and position in any vulnerable channel bend. A constraint in terms of bend scour is also incorporated in the optimisation model, which allows the optimisation model to obtain the best groyne combination for no bend scour. To appraise the performance of the model, it was applied to a hypothetical vulnerable channel bend. The model produced the minimised cost of installation of the groyne system at that location, at the same time as making the location free from bend scour.

Published: July 2020

Objetivo: Obtener un modelo analítico que determine el índice del desarrollo organizacional en la gestión gerencial de las Instituciones de Educación Superior. Metodología: La metodología que se contempló es de enfoque epistémico y de tipo descriptivo y explicativo. Resultados: En el análisis se identifican los componentes que priorizan las posibles alternativas de gestión organizacional mediante la cuantificación de los indicadores más significativos obtenidos del estudio de campo experimental para analizar las variables de pensamiento estratégico y competitividad. En el proceso estadístico se obtienen los indicadores que hacen parte del Análisis de Componentes Principales de los cuales se destacan cinco factores que representan el 86,386% para el caso de la Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander y del 75,02% para la Universidad de Pamplona de la varianza total explicada resultado de la combinación de las dos variables.  Conclusiones: Los resultados matemáticos representan la percepción del sistema de gobernanza de las Instituciones de Educación Superior que refleja la necesidad de implementar estrategias de liderazgo que permitan de forma más holística comprender el entorno para mejorar la competitividad por medio de la reinvención de políticas institucionales basadas en: el mercadeo, la oferta de nuevos servicios, la innovación, la calidad y la eficiencia como instrumentos de diferenciación.

Published: July 2020

Objetivo: Realizar un estudio sobre las tecnologías, problemática ambiental y procesos ambientales en empresas mineras que explotan arcilla en La Guajira (Colombia). Metodología: La investigación se fundamentó en el paradigma epistemológico postpositivista, de carácter descriptiva y sus fuentes provienen de revisión documental y observación directa, con diseño de campo, no experimental y de corte transeccional. La población estuvo conformada por cinco (5) empresas mineras: Camarones, San pedrito, El Confuso, Loma Fresca y La Junta, dedicadas a la extracción de arcilla y comercialización de ladrillos en La Guajira. Para recolectar la información, se aplicó la matriz de Leopold y un cuestionario estructurado por 24 ítems, aplicando la validez y confiabilidad mediante el criterio de expertos. Resultados: Se encontró que las tecnologías empleadas en las minas son de tipo artesanal y rudimentarias, evidenciándose un patrón de externalidades ambientales ocasionadas al medio físico, biológico y socioeconómico. Así mismo, se halló una desarticulación entre la ley general ambiental, el código minero y los planes de ordenamiento territoriales donde se localizan las minas, siendo esta una de las causas de conflictos ambientales y territoriales en las minas.  Conclusiones: En definitiva, se identificaron cinco (5) impactos al medio físico y biológico y cuatro (4) impactos al medio socioeconómico, para un total de nueve (9) externalidades ambientales que afectan la zona de influencia de cada una de las minas; en efecto, se sugiere tecnificar los procesos mineros, mediante tecnologías limpias e inserción de procesos ambientales que ayuden a la gestión socioambiental de las empresas mineras.
Dos enfoques matemáticos epidemiológicos para modelar el comportamiento de los decesos causados por el COVID-19
Authors: Peralta Polo Jeinny , Caro Candezano Miguel Antonio , Niebles Núñez Leonardo
Published: July 2020

Objetivo: Comparar dos modelos epidemiológicos matemáticos determinísticos de la literatura, para simular la curva de decesos en el departamento del Atlántico causados por el COVID-19. Metodología: El primer modelo propuesto para simular el número de decesos por el COVID-19 es el de Tappe. Este enfoque se basa en el comportamiento exponencial de la curva del número de decesos, e inicialmente fue usado por el autor con los datos disponibles del número de muertos en China. El otro modelo propuesto es el SIRD, una extensión del modelo SIR, que divide la población entre susceptibles, infectados, muertos y recuperados. Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos a partir de los dos modelos, en las fechas estipuladas, mostraron que, comparados con los datos tomados del INS, ambos describen un comportamiento relativamente similar. Sin embargo, al analizar una proyección realizada para noventa días, treinta días después de la fecha final de análisis (26 de mayo), se observa que el modelo SIRD describe una curva de crecimiento mayor que la del modelo de Tappe, esto se debe, probablemente, a la inserción de más variables en el modelo. Conclusiones: Al ser SIRD un modelo más completo, con mayor número de variables representativas de la población, la proyección realizada con éste es más confiable que la realizada con el modelo de Tappe. Para estudios futuros se pretende incorporar la población de los expuestos para describir el número de decesos, en un modelo SEIRD, en este departamento

A Great Yankee's Indian Summer: Did Lou Gehrig Experience a Temporary ALS Reversal While Playing in August 1938?
Authors: Bedlack Richard , Joseph Dan
Published: July 2020

Nineteen thirty-eight was the last full season played by baseball slugger Lou Gehrig before amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) forced him to retire.  He struggled to hit and field well for much of the season, and his final statistics -- a .295 batting average, 29 home runs, 114 runs batted in – were unusually low for him.  But in mid-season, Gehrig enjoyed a streak in which he seemed to regain his previous power.  This three-week stretch, not studied closely by neurologists or baseball historians until now, suggests that the “Iron Horse” may have experienced a temporary ALS reversal, which can be instructive for researchers and those coping with the disease.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), now a global pandemic, has infected millions of people and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.  Neurological presentation of the novel coronavirus includes headaches, seizures, myalgias, hyposmia, ageusia, etc. Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) and its variant, Miller Fisher Syndrome, have been reported in COVID-19 patients presenting with lower limb weakness, paresthesia, facial diplegia, and ataxia. Most recently, large vessel occlusion strokes were seen in infected younger patients without vascular risk factors. We present a novel case of rhabdomyolysis associated with COVID-19 infection in a patient on atorvastatin, in whom we detected positive anti-transcriptional intermediary factor 1 gamma antibodies (anti-TIF1-y Ab). Bilateral upper and lower extremity weakness improved with aggressive fluid administration and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) at 0.4mg/kg for a total of 5 days. Interrupting a strong cytokine response with IVIg early on during the disease may have led to rapid improvement.
Neuromuscular Complications in COVID-19: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Pike-Lee Tiffany , Li Yuebing , Wolfe Gil
Published: July 2020

Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) belongs to the betacoronavirus family which is known to cross species barriers and lead to high pathogenicity. There is rapidly growing evidence that COVID-19 infection can be associated with neuromuscular complications. A comprehensive literature review was conducted evaluating articles published related to neuromuscular complications in COVID-19.  In this review we focus our discussion on two ways that COVID-19 critically impacts neuromuscular medicine: (1) serious complications and outcomes associated with the viral infection and; (2) management considerations for neuromuscular patients on immunotherapies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
An Investigation of the Factors Affecting Inflation Perceptions: A Case Study on Business and Economics Undergraduate Students
Authors: GUNDUZ Sule , YILDIRIM Seçkin , DURUKAN M. Banu
Published: July 2020

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors behind the inflation perceptions of undergraduate students of economics and business. Factors, such as education in economics, socio- demographic conditions, cognitive abilities, financial situation and consumption habits are investigated. The empirical evidence suggests that economics students on the average estimate a higher level of inflation than the official rate however their perceptions are closer to actual rates compared to the other students. The findings reveal that economic literacy, financial situation, gender, and the degree of trust regarding official measures of inflation, and purchase frequency of goods also influence inflation perceptions significantly.

La imposibilidad de la escuela tradicional para dar respuestas a las demandas sociales y laborales exige llevar adelante modificaciones en el formato escolar. En esta investigación proponemos el formato Taller como innovación. El propósito de este artículo es dar a conocer el análisis que se realizó del formato escolar Taller, su influencia en la motivación y en la mejora de los logros de aprendizaje de los estudiantes de nivel primario en Paysandú, Uruguay, así como los cambios que experimentan las prácticas docentes durante su puesta en acción. Se puso en práctica una metodología mixta bajo un enfoque secuencial comparativo sobre una población de 172 alumnos de 4° a 6° grado, y 19 docentes distribuidos en dos escuelas. Se usó un diseño cuasi-experimental con un grupo control y otro experimental. Se aplicó a los estudiantes, Diagnóstico Integral de Estudio (DIE I) e Inventario de Estilos de Aprendizaje (ILS) y a los docentes: Cuestionario de Dilemas y Análisis de documentos. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron la necesidad de modificar formatos escolares tradicionales, la incidencia positiva en la motivación y la mejora de los logros educativos. Comprobamos que, propuestas colaborativas, participación activa del niño como sujeto de su aprendizaje, tiempos desestructurados ayudan a los alumnos a mejorar su actitud ante el estudio, están motivados, comienzan el proceso de autorregulación en sus tareas y optimizan su rendimiento. La nueva modalidad impacta también en los docentes, ya que tienen necesidad de organizar su propuesta didáctica para atender las necesidades reales de sus alumnos.
