Les propriétaires de maisons ont-ils raison de craindre l’arrivée de logements sociaux dans leur quartier ?
Authors: Dubé Jean , Des Rosiers François , Devaux Nicolas
Published: March 2023

La hausse des loyers, les reconversions résidentielles et les rénovictions placent une frange de la population urbaine dans des conditions de précarité extrême. Une façon de venir en aide aux ménages à faibles revenus est l’accès à des logements sociaux. Or, le logement social n’a pas toujours bonne presse même si la plupart des gens s’y disent ouverts et favorables. C’est le phénomène du « pas dans ma cour ». Plusieurs associent la présence de logements sociaux à un changement du profil socio-économique de leur quartier et sont convaincus que cela diminuera la valeur de leur résidence. Mais qu’en disent les données probantes ? En prenant la ville de Québec comme étude de cas, les auteurs concluent qu’il n’existe pas de réponse simple et unique.

Published: March 2023

Background and objectives: Bronchial carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine neoplasms that range from low-grade typical carcinoids to more aggressive atypical carcinoids and, therefore demonstrate a wide spectrum of clinical behaviors, histologic features and outcome. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical profile, surgical management and outcome of bronchial carcinoids at a single centre over two years period.

Materials and methods: Patients with a final histologic diagnosis of bronchial carcinoid tumor were included in the study. Evaluation comprised of clinical history and physical examination, postero-anterior and lateral chest radiographs, and computed tomographic (CT) scans of the chest and upper abdomen (including liver and adrenal glands). Performance status was assessed by the Karnofsky scale. Pulmonary function tests were performed routinely.

Results: A total of 18 patients were included in the study. Out of 18 cases, 10 (55.6%) were female and 8 (44.4%) were males. Sixteen (88.9%) patients had typical carcinoid tumor and 2 (11.1%) had atypical carcinoid tumor. The tumor was located in the right lung in 11 (61.1%) and in the left lung in 7 patients (38.9%). Surgeries included 15 standard lobectomies and 3 bronchial sleeve resection. At one month post surgery, there was 13-22% increase in post operative FEV1 in patients who underwent bronchial sleeve resection while in patients who underwent lobectomy, the post operative FEV1 was 84% of pre-operative FEV1. Post surgery, all patients were in group A as per Karnofsky performance status.

Conclusion: Standard care of bronchial carcinoid tumors is surgical resection, and the surgical approach should depend on tumor’s size, location and histology.

Performance Analysis and Implementation of Brushless DC Motor by PID, Fuzzy and ANIFS Controllers
Authors: Gunjker Rahul R , Nikam Anuradha E
Published: March 2023

Now a day’s Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are more popular because of its good electrical and mechanical property. These motors are now changing to brushed DC motors and induction motors in various applications. The main problem that occurs in the traditional PID controller is that the parameters obtained from the drive control system of the BLDC servo motor cannot produce a steady state under various operating conditions such as adjusted gain plus transient response and parameter variation, load disturbance. So a fuzzy controller provides good speed response for start-up. In this paper how the design and simulation of ANFIS controller is better for the performance of brushless DC motor (BLDC) servomotor as well as the design and implementation of ANFIS controller and its performance are compared is shown. The capability of BLDC servomotor based on Fuzzy, ANFIS and PID controller is investigated under different operating conditions. Paper represents the PID controller and fuzzy controller to demonstrate error tracking capability and usefulness of ANFIS controller in control applications. By using the PID, Fuzzy and ANFIS controller we can implement, analyze the overall performance of brushless DC motor. KEYWORDS: Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, Adaptive-Network- Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), (FLC) Fuzzy logic controller (IGBT) Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor.

The article publishes information about the sanctuary on Mount Kara-Tau in Piedmont Crimea, which was investigated in 2016 after a barbaric robbery. As a result, a small ritual complex was discovered that existed in the oundaries of Late Scythian settlement in the second half of the 1st—2nd centuries AD. Features of ritual practice and types of votives show a significant similarity of the complex with the sanctuaries at the Gurzufskoe Sedlo, Eklizi-Burun and Tuar-Alan in the Crimea.
Haliurunna in Jordanes’s Getica: Tradition, Reality and its Construction
Authors:   European University at St. Petersburg, Bespalchikova Yana
Published: March 2023

The author aims to analyze the story of Gothic witches and Hunnic progenitress in the Getica by Jordanes in the context of studying Gothic magical practices and ideas. The Getica is the main and most ambivalent source on the history of the Goths before the Great Migration. Besides absence of other sources on the early Gothic history, studies of this source is further complicated by a possible reflection of oral tradition on its text, and the story of the witches can be an example of this influence. Moreover, it is placed in the part of the Getica with the highest concentration of the mythical and fabulous features. The article analyzes in detail the arguments against the origin of this story from the Gothic oral tradition, testifying to its constructiveness and Christian influence, as well as arguments in favor of the folklore nature of the story about the expulsion of witches using philological and folkloristics tools. The author borrows some external sources and offers an assessment of to what extent the existence of ideas about such witches could be realistic in Gothic communities, for the historicity of the story itself about their expulsion seems to be hardly probable. Finally, the article attempts to estimate relations between the information from the Getica and reconstructible reality of Gothic magical practices.

Published: March 2023

Menstruation (menstruation) is the periodic discharge of blood and body cells from the vagina that originate from the lining of a woman's uterus. Menstruation begins at puberty and marks a woman's ability to bear children, although other health factors may limit this capacity. This event is so natural and natural that it is certain that all normal women will experience this process. However, in reality many women experience menstrual problems, one of which is menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) (Admin, 2008). The research was conducted at Panei Tongah Public Middle School 1, Simalungun Regency, on 139 respondents. There is a relationship between knowledge and the effect of using menstrual pain relievers at SMP Negeri 1 Panci Tongah, Simalungun Regency, with the P-Value of 0.001 0.05. There is no relationship between attitudes towards the effect of using menstrual pain relievers at Panei Tongah 1 Public Middle School, Simalungun Regency, where the value obtained is greater than the expected value (P Value 0.250 0.05). There is a relationship between action and the effect of using menstrual pain relievers at Panei Tongah 1 Public Middle School, Simalungun Regency. From the results of the Chi-square test, the P-Value is 0.001 0.05, so the hypothesis is accepted. It is hoped that young women will pay more attention to the effects of excessive use of pain relievers because this can be bad for health. It is hoped that the school will work closely with health workers to conduct health education in schools, especially for young girls.
John Navone, SJ’s Theology of Failure and Its Importance for Pope Francis’s Spirituality in Light of the Church’s Pastoral Mission to Victim/Survivors of Abuse
Authors: Goldstein Dawn
Published: March 2023

Pope Francis has acknowledged that some of the ideas he presents in his spirituality of suffering and healing are inspired by the “theology of failure” that John Navone, SJ, put forth in his 1984 work Triumph through Failure: A Theology of the Cross. Numerous passages in Francis’s writings and speeches take inspiration from Navone’s book, including his reflections upon Jesus’s “failure,” the salvific role of memory, and the reality of the Resurrection. This essay examines how the insights Francis has developed from Triumph through Failure can aid the Catholic Church’s pastoral mission to those who live with the spiritual wounds of sexual abuse.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the willingness-to-pay (WTP) value of cloth and disposable masks during the pandemic. Each type of mask has its advantages, and each individual has different considerations when choosing the mask they will buy and use. Primary data were obtained from survey questionnaires, with the qualified participants being income earners. Using a snowball sampling technique, a total of 1144 people were selected as participants from 14 Indonesian provinces. Data collection was carried out and questionnaires were distributed through Google Forms and a WhatsApp group, respectively, for 7 days. The results showed that the WTP value of cloth and disposable masks was significantly influenced by similar variables, including age, education, income level, number of household members, activities outside the home, and the presence of comorbidities. All the variables had similar effects on the WTP value of cloth and disposable masks. The absence of differences in the WTP value implies that the most important consideration in reducing the risk of exposure to Covid-19 was not the type of mask but the discipline of wearing a mask when performing activities outside the home.

The above research problem is also studied in the complex setting of the manifoldon which the Riemannian submersion is defined. In addition, we give several results involving curvature conditions for a triharmonic curves along Riemannian submersions.
المقومات القانونية لنشوء الدولة العراقية

Published: March 2023

لا يمكن أن ننكر أهمية وجود القانون وضرورته في تنظيم العلاقات الاجتماعية بين الأفراد، حيث فرض الواقع العملي على الانسان تشريع القوانين والتعليمات التي تسهم في تسهيل مسايرة هذا الواقع، يتم صياغة نصوص هذه التشريعات في ميثاق يعرف لاحقاً باسم الدستور الذي يمثل رأس الهرم القانوني للدولة. ومن هنا فأن المقومات القانونية لتأسيس دولة مكتملة الأركان، لا تعدو أن تكون عناصر ضرورية لقيام الدولة وديمومتها،  ولكي تتحقق غاياته التي وجدت هذه الدولة من اجلها، فوجودها المتمثل بالشعب والإقليم والحكومة وحده لا يكفي ما لم يقترن ذلك بوجودها القانوني المتمثل بالمقومات القانونية والتي تستكمل بها الدولة وجودها.
و لا يعنى وجود الدستور كأحد مقومات بناء الدولة، كميثاق مدون أن سياسة الحكومة في تلك الدولة صاحبة هذا  الدستور هي سياسة دستورية بنّاءة، إذ أن أغلب الدكتاتوريات الحاكمة ترعى أهمية كتابة الدستور، في طياته أشارات صريحة لتجنب العنصرية وحرية التعبير عن الرأي غير أن الواقع غير ذلك؛ أذ قد يتم تضمين الدستور نصوص  تتفق  ومصالح هذه السلطة أو أن تستخف به أمام الناس بممارساتها وانتهاكاتها، ولو أمعنا النظر في نشأة الدولة العراقية  لوجدناها نشأة ذات جذور أصيلة وحضارة عريقة رسمتها شريعة حمو رابي وأنارتها إشراقة الإسلام ؛ في وضع الأسس الصحيحة في سن القوانين وإحقاق العدل بين الأفراد ، لما تضمنته الشريعة الإسلامية من نصوص إلهية متناهية الدقة ترجمتها سنة الرسول وأهل بيته عليهم أفضل الصلاة وأتم التسليم، فكان لرجال القانون وللقضاء وللعشائر العراقية ولرجال الدين، أثرهم  في بناء الدولة العراقية مستلهمين أمجاد حضارتهم وشريعتهم الإسلامية الخالدة ، غير إن طريق البناء هذا لم يأت من فراغ ولم يكن سهل المنال؛ بل مر بصعوبات زمنية عدة تمثلت بدخول هولاكو بغداد وأعقبه الاحتلال العثماني ثم الاحتلال البريطاني، وما سببه كل منهم من صراعات ونزاعات مسلحة أثقلت كاهل العراق والعراقيين وهم يسعون إلى بناء بلد مستقل يحكمه العراقيون أنفسهم بعيداً عن النفوذ والتبعية  ، فكانت النخب القانونية هي المتصدرة في كل حقبة من الحقب السابقة، والساعية لإيجاد قوانين تؤسس لنهوض الدولة العراقية وتصون حقوق رعاياها وهي تحت ضغط الاحتلال والمتسلطين، فمارست النخب القانونية دورها في تشكيل الدولة العراقية من خلال سن الدستور (القانون الأساسي)العراقي الأول الذي أقر عام 1925 كأول دستور للعراق فضلاً عن أعداد قوانين الانتخابات بشكل ديمقراطي، الأمر الذي يوضح دورها البنّاء في تأسيس الدولة العراقية أبان فترة الانتداب البريطاني.
Telecare and self-management: a guideline for anticipating future care in scenario-based design
Authors: Maathuis Ivo , Jones Valerie M , Oudshoorn Nelly
Published: March 2023

An important aim of telecare technologies for chronic patients is supporting self-management. Although patient involvement is crucial for successful implementation, any adaptation of telecare systems to needs of users requires explicit reflection regarding which form of self-management it should support. Scenario-based methods (SBDs) are proposed to involve users in the earlier phases of development. This paper aims to extend SBDs by incorporating explicit exploration of self-management forms. We first analyzed what self-management forms were inscribed in the design of a telecare system for COPD patients. These were mainly based on compliance to medical treatment. However, our study shows that many patients thrive better on self-management based on cooperation and concordance with healthcare professionals. To overcome this discrepancy between design and use practices we developed a guideline enabling designers to anticipate and reflect on which form of self-management is desirable to incorporate in the design of telecare technologies for chronic patients.
Challenges to Participation in the Sharing Economy: The Case of Local Online Peer-to-Peer Exchange in a Single Parents’ Network
Authors: Lampinen Airi , Huotari Kai , Cheshire Coye
Published: March 2023

This paper depicts an initiative to deploy an online peer-to-peer exchange system for a community network of single parents – a group of people in need of goods, services, and social support in their local neighborhoods. We apply participant observation and semi-structured interviews to uncover key issues that can hinder the emergence of sharing practices in local community networks of this type. Our study illustrates how pressures related to single parenthood can impede opportunities to engage in peer-to-peer exchange, even when community members view the social and material benefits of participation as desirable and necessary. This complicates the prevalent narrative that local peer-to-peer exchange systems are an accessible and convenient alternative to traditional markets. Moreover, we discuss our collaboration with the community as well as the developers of the sharing platform, highlighting the challenges of user-centered design in the sharing economy.

Authors: Buchem Ilona , Kreutel Jörn , Merceron Agathe , Haesner Marten
Published: March 2023

Physical activity is one of the key factors of ageing healthy and at the same time one of the key motivational challenges for the elderly. Supporting healthy ageing through physical fitness requires interventions that promote healthy levels of physical activity as part of the daily routine. Although wearable devices, such as activity trackers or smart wristbands, have been used by younger adopters to optimize physical fitness, little is known so far about how such emerging technologies may be used to improve well-being and overall health of senior users. In this paper we present the conceptual framework and the architecture of wearable-technology enhanced learning for healthy ageing as part of an R&D project called “Fitness MOOC – interaction of seniors with wearable fitness trackers in the fitness MOOC (fMOOC)”, founded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The fMOOC project is a cooperation between Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin and the Geriatrics Research Group, Charité – one of the largest medical universities in Europe. The project aims at developing a wearable-technology enhanced learning solution combining the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) approach with embodied and creative learning experience with support of activity trackers. fMOOC integrates an LMS backend with wearable fitness trackers, mobile user interface, gamification and analytics to promote healthy ageing through learning and interacting with senior users.

Published: March 2023

The recent trend of Pesticide use is accelerating for agricultural production purposes. Its importance is immense for controlling pests in developing countries like Bangladesh. But the imprudent application is increasing at an alarming rate due to which environmental degradation is increasing, which is not still under investigation. Despite the various pest control methods, chemical pesticides (hereafter pesticides) are more popular among Bangladeshi farmers because of their low cost and rapid action. The continuous popularity of pesticides application adversely affects the environment, and eventually, human throughout the country. Hence a systematic review was initiated utilizing the secondary information to overview the hazardous impact or prevailed pollution due to the application of pesticides in the context of the environment, related organisms, and human health. The analysis revealed that pollution-related problem arises mostly due to the unregulated use of pesticides. Therefore, excessive pesticide usage such as pollutes the air, soil, and water and kills non-target organisms, causing an ecological imbalance. Lack of protection exposes farmers to acute illnesses, toxic compounds in the food cycle, and the mass population to chronic health issues. Thus, to minimize pesticides' environmental, and health effects, concerns should be given on the judicious application of pesticides, raising awareness regarding pesticide use. Policymakers should focus on raising awareness regarding the use of pesticides, implementing effective pesticide usage laws at the root level, optimizing reasonable use, participatory program implementation for farmers' training, good governance and regulatory mechanisms, frequent inspection at the field level, and appropriate actions and strategies for promoting eco-friendly methods.
Psychometric Properties of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Shortened Versions in Dutch Speaking Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Authors: Rossi Gina , Brancart Xenia , Diaz-Batanero Carmen
Published: March 2023

Most studies on the psychometric properties of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) were done in adolescents and adults. The scarce studies in older adults were mainly limited to associations of CERQ scales with internalising symptoms and wellbeing. Only one study explored the underlying factor structure in Spanish older adults and concluded that only a 27 item CERQ version showed adequate fit when tested with confirmatory factor analysis. The present study analyses the psychometric properties of all three versions of the CERQ in a sample of 451 community-dwelling older adults: the original 36 item CERQ, the short 18 item CERQ developed by the original authors and a Spanish 27 item CERQ version. Because gender differences among strategies used have been reported, the present study examined and provided first evidence for the gender invariance of the CERQ structure. Moreover, cognitive emotion regulation strategies correlated like hypothesized with clinical symptoms in general, and behavioural inhibition and activation systems and coping styles. The nomological net was highly similar for the original CERQ and shortened versions. The shortened versions of the CERQ consequently can be viable alternatives to the CERQ in settings where short assessment instruments are needed.

Published: March 2023

Fluctuations of exchange rate against in the Rupiah can be influenced by international trade which makes the Rupiah exchange rate depreciate or appreciate. The purpose of this study is to recognize the differences in the effect of international trade variables on the Rupiah exchange rate. The model considered for maintaining variables can connect the effects of international trade with the Rupiah exchange rate that occurred before using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. OLS estimation shows that the independent variables, namely exports, imports, and interest rates have a significant influence on the expectations of the Rupiah exchange rate, while variable interest rates cannot significantly influence the Rupiah exchange rate. In conclusion, the export, import and interest rates policies are considered to affect the rupiah exchange rate if Indonesia does not change interest rates simultaneously and other macro policy variables.

Methods:A cross sectional study conducted among 200 middle aged patients attending oph- thalmology consultation clinic at Rizgary and Hawler teaching hospital in Erbil city and diagnosed by ophthalmologist to have cataract, from the 1st of June 2017 to the 30th of November 2017. The questionnaire was completed through direct interview. Results:The proportion of the posterior sub-capsular type among females (55.9%) was significantly higher than the proportion (29.9%) among males (p = 0.003). A significant association (p < 0.001) was detected between abdominal obesity and types of cataract. The proportion of the posterior sub-capsular was 58.7% among those with abdominal obesity compared with 16.5% among those with no abdominal obesity. Regarding obesity, categorized by body mass index, it was found that the proportion of the posterior sub-capsular type increase with the increase of body mass index, while the proportion of cortical type decrease with the increase in body mass index (p =0.005). Conclusions: posterior sub capsular cataract, found to be the more evident type and significantly associated with the abdominal obesity and the increase of BMI while the cortical type found to decrease with the increase in BMI.

Scuto Indonesia (Scuto) has a reseller whose job is to offer automotive maintenance services to prospective customers who are outside of Scuto outlets. Problems arise when the resellers spread throughout Indonesia have to wait a long time from the data that is sent manually to the center via email. Thus, Scuto does not yet have a system to facilitate the process from resellers offering potential customers to claim bonuses from the sales that have been made by resellers in real-time. A technology approach that is suitable for real-time data problems with regard to operational aspects, then what is used is a mobile-based technology. In addition to these problems, the next problem is making the desired system must be in accordance with a budget that is quite efficient. Because, Scuto itself is a company that is still developing and does not have the resources or budget that is large enough to fund large system-making projects. One solution is to use the latest mobile technology, Kotlin. Kotlin technology can be run on two versions, namely mobile (Android and iOS) and also the web version with only one programming. Thus, the use of Kotlin technology can save the resources of a team of programmers who previously needed many different teams simultaneously, namely Android programmers, iOS programmers, and web programmers, now only become one team of programmers.

La Asamblea Ciudadana para el Clima: ¿Un modelo a seguir en las asambleas ciudadanas regionales y locales?
Authors: Álvarez González Elsa Marina
Published: March 2023

Tras varias experiencias europeas de democracia deliberativa en materia de medio ambiente (Suecia, Irlanda, Francia, Reino Unido, Alemania, Dinamarca, Finlandia y Escocia), España se une a esta oleada con la creación de su asamblea ciudadana para el clima. Se trata de una organización ciudadana reclamada desde la declaración de España en situación de emergencia climática en 2020, que se crea con la Ley 7/2021, de 20 de mayo, de cambio climático y transición energética y que se ha puesto en marcha definitivamente con la orden ministerial TED/1086/2021, de 29 de septiembre, por la que se establece su composición, organización y funcionamiento. Dada la singularidad de este proceso participativo dedicamos estas páginas a realizar un análisis de su marco normativo, sus principales características, comparando su estructura y alcance con otras experiencias europeas y nos plantearemos la viabilidad jurídica de las futuras asambleas ciudadanas de carácter regional y local. Este análisis nos va a permitir realizar algunas propuestas para garantizar que estamos ante un ejercicio efectivo del derecho a la participación pública en materia medioambiental, que implique una participación real del ciudadano en la toma de decisiones sobre el clima.

Electrical energy has become a part of our life. In fact, for some people it has become a major need that cannot be eliminated. This can affect the energy sources used in the power generation process. Therefore, the existence of renewable energy sources is needed to increase the energy supply for the community. In this case the author tries to do research to take advantage of the water discharge at the Lewaja Spring PDAM, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi as a Micro Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH). apipa, so that production costs can be reduced. In addition, it can provide an overview to the PDAM and the community that the PDAM pipes, which so far have only been used for water distribution, can be used as power plants. The purpose of this research is to determine the discharge and pipe head of PDAM and then the dimensional design of the turbine is based on the potential obtained. The survey was conducted to obtain primary data and secondary data. the main data is data obtained directly, while secondary data is data obtained from documents stored in PDAM Lewaja Springs. From the research, the average discharge is 46,287 L/s under normal conditions, and has a water level of 5,998 m from the turbine location

Network routing that still uses two as numbers on the border gateway protocol, which allows the second as number to be a backup, which can be said to be ineffective. Moreover, the admin cannot know the backhoul network interference before monitoring a mass disturbance, so routing is switched manually. A Border Gateway Protocol is a path vector routing protocol that coordinates the routing of packets through multiple administrative domains by computing routes between every IP address the packet passes. Certain routers, called BGP speakers, are assigned to run the protocol. BGP speakers across different Autonomous Systems (AS) are interconnected in order to exchange routing information. BGP supports a feature called multihoming, which means connecting to multiple ISPs from different routers or points in the network. by using BGP one As Number, routing can choose the best or shortest path.

This research is on Analysis of the Contribution of Agricultural Sector to Employment Generation in Nigeria. Secondary data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics between 1999 and 2021 were used for data analysis. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression analysis technique was used to estimate and to obtain values for the parameters. The result revealed that though the agricultural sector has significantly contributed to employment generation but not to the extent of lowering the unemployment rate. This is due to the magnitude of the size of the unemployed in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that since the agricultural sector holds a lot of potentials for employment generation but many yet see agricultural practice as derogatory; there is the need for more awareness to be created and needed machines and equipment purchase to ensure that more people especially young graduates are encouraged to come into agricultural practice rather than waiting for the never forthcoming white collar jobs; as such, the government should create enabling environment for the agricultural sector to thrive. Likewise, there is the need to dwell on the value chain addition of agricultural sector products as this also have potentials of creating more employment opportunities for the unemployed in Nigeria if driven with the right technology. It is through this that the agricultural sector can make significant contribution to employment generation in Nigeria.
Maria Szymanowska i styl brillant
Authors: Poniatowska Irena
Published: March 2023

Maria Szymanowska, największa pianistka polska doby przedchopinowskiej i kompozytorka reprezentuje okres klasyczno-preromantyczny w muzyce polskiej, zwany przez Tadeusza Strumiłłę sentymentalizmem. Jej twórczość jako całość jest typowym przejawem okresów przejściowych, w których elementy dawnego stylu ze środkami nowatorskimi nie zawsze łączą się w harmonijną syntezę. Ale stworzenie pierwszych na gruncie polskim etiud oraz preferowanie miniatur fortepianowych zaświadcza o przynależności Szymanowskiej do nurtu przemian nacechowanych rozwijaniem klasycznych środków fakturalnych w tzw. stylu brillant oraz tendencji wyrazowych sentymentalizmu czy też rodzącego się romantyzmu. Niniejszy artykuł omawia typowe dla owego przejściowego okresu środki kompozytorskie na przykładzie wybranych utworów fortepianowych Szymanowskiej, nie tracąc z pola widzenia narzucających się analogii z twórczością Chopina.

La importancia de este proyecto es la eliminación de accidentes o incidentes que pudieran ser detectados por los operadores de línea que manipulan manualmente las tuberías en las respectivas áreas de terminación. Vale la pena mencionar que los fuelles tienen más de seis metros de largo y los fuelles que pesan 90 kg requieren más de tres personas para levantarlos. Esto provocó que la empresa perdiera tiempo en el área de gestión, mientras que los empleados dedicaban más tiempo a la distribución de tuberías, desconociendo las responsabilidades de división del trabajo por departamento.
