Authors: González Castro Yolanda , Peñaranda Peñaranda Marta Milena , Manzano Durán Omaira
Published: October 2018

El uso masificado de las tecnologías y las redes sociales han permitido un aumento en los datos como fuente de información y conocimiento. Sin embargo, cada vez es más difícil el manejo de grandes cantidades de información en las organizaciones, especialmente cuando se quieren hacer modelación de variables para la toma de decisiones. Es por ello que en el mundo aparece el Big Data como herramienta para la selección, búsqueda y tratamiento de los datos existentes. Ahora bien, los avances que una herramienta tecnológica aporta en un sector específico se ven representado en las bases de datos científicas y tecnológicas. Es por ello que para encontrar una relación entre el Big Data y los negocios se realizó una investigación cuantitativa mediante una bibliometría, un estado de la ciencia y un estado de la técnica. Encontrándose 3889 documentos que integran la temática de Big Data con los negocios y los avances de Colombia con el resto del mundo.

Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Meshcheryakova Anzhela Valeryevna
Published: October 2018

The paper deals with the problem of the effective-ness of legislation in terms of modern approaches and practices of its scientific development and solu-tion techniques. The purpose of the study is not only to identify several aspects of ensuring the ef-fective legislation and lawmaking in general but also to demonstrate possible areas of prospective scien-tific developments and practical solutions to this issue. The paper notes that existing approaches to determining the efficiency criteria for legislation should be supplemented by a broader list that has regard to legal monitoring and legislative improve-ments of other countries. The legislative effective-ness is considered as a common challenge typical for modern political and legal life in many states. It can be solved when developing and implementing a specialized discussion platform at the supreme leg-islative bodies.
Criminal law counter to public procurement fraud: the legislative experience of Japan
Authors:   Investigation Department of  the Investigative Committee of  the Russian Federation for Magadan region, Gudkov Anton Pavlovich
Published: October 2018

Japan is one of the developed market-economy countries characterized by successful anti-corruption practices, including abuses in public procurement. Criminal liability for such crimes is stipulated in both the Criminal Code and certain laws allowing it to be widely applied to violators. Thus, on July 31, 2002, Japan adopted the Act on Elimination and Prevention of Involvement in Bid Rigging, etc. and Punishments for Acts by Employ-ees that Harm Fairness of Bidding, etc. which de-tailed the elements of crime and the relevant sanc-tions. The Fair Trade Commission plays a major role in combating crimes in this field as it has extensive procedural and administrative powers and is provid-ed with state coercive measures, including criminal liability for non-compliance with legal requirements. At the same time, it is typical for Japan to exercise restraint in penal repression and take softer correc-tive measures.

El capricho de la traducción poética
Authors: Gallegos Rosillo José Antonio
Published: October 2018

¿Por qué, en general, la traducción en prosa se publica sin el apoyo del texto original y ocurre lo contrario con la traducción poética? Este trabajo intenta responder esa pregunta. La originalidad de la traducción poética se apoya en testimonios de escritores que, al mismo tiempo fueron —o son— traductores, como en el caso de Charles Baudelaire, Paul Valéry, Sully Prudhomme o Luis M. de Merlo. A este último pertenece la idea de la traducción como capricho, que nos lleva lógicamente a la de traducción poética como creación. Para ilustrarla, analizamos la traducción reciente de la obra poética del poeta francés Gérard de Nerval, realizada por el poeta malagueño Pedro J. Vizoso.
A propósito de la homogeneidad de algunas categorías del proceso de comunicación
Authors: Giudici Fernández Beatriz
Published: October 2018

Cuando se aplican las categorías de código, emisor, receptor y contexto a la comunicación lingüística, estas son más complejas de lo que pudiera parecer a primera vista. La dificultad se acrecienta cuando se analizan en una obra literaria, y más aún cuando se trata de una obra literaria traducida a otra legua y, por ende, a otra cultura.Estas categorías deben ser entendidas desde una perspectiva social, desde los grupos de hablantes en contextos particulares, que negocian el significado de sus locuciones a partir de información adquirida culturalmente. El no tener acceso a tal información o el situarla desde coordenadas culturales distintas puede ocasionar distorsiones en el mensaje, errores o falta de comprensión no sólo de lo que se dice sino de lo que se quiere decir.
Sugerencias para mejorar el tratamiento de las expresiones idiomáticas en los diccionarios fraseológicos en inglés y español
Authors: Fraile Vicente Esther
Published: October 2018

La lengua general muestra un alto grado de significado emotivo, a través de procesos abstractos como la metáfora, que originan las frecuentes expresiones idiomáticas que usamos cotidianamente y la complejidad que entraña su traducción a otras lenguas. Este trabajo analiza el tratamiento lexicográfico de dos expresiones idiomáticas inglesas de uso frecuente en diez diccionarios fraseológicos, monolingües y bilingües. Revela que los diccionarios fraseológicos deberían mejorar su tratamiento de las expresiones idiomáticas y otras unidades fraseológicas, para que estas obras respondan a las necesidades de usuarios como los traductores. Dichos recursos deberían solucionar cuestiones básicas como los criterios de selección e inclusión a seguir con las EIs, las categorías de información de que deben acompañarse y las convenciones tipográficas más pertinentes para transmitirlas.
English and Spanish Medical Languages: A Comparative Study from a Translation Point of View
Authors: Ruiz Rosendo Lucía
Published: October 2018

La medicina constituye uno de los campos más traducidos en España, consecuencia lógica de la importación de la literatura científica de países anglosajones. De este modo, la medicina representa en el nuevo siglo un ámbito de interés creciente para los traductores, especialmente aquellos cuya combinación lingüística es inglés-español. De hecho, actualmente el inglés es, sin lugar a dudas, la lingua franca de la ciencia médica. Ante esta situación, el traductor se ve obligado a conocer las características específicas del lenguaje médico, tanto inglés como español, con el objeto de desarrollar una traducción de calidad. Por consiguiente hemos llevado a cabo un análisis detallado de la literatura existente sobre lenguaje médico y una investigación exhaustiva en textos médicos para proporcionar un análisis contrastivo del inglés y del español teniendo en cuenta la influencia del inglés en el lenguaje médico español
Historical Theatre: The Task of the Translator
Authors: Johnston David
Published: October 2018

Este artículo versa sobre las diversas maneras en las que el traductor puede abordar las obras del Siglo de Oro español con el objetivo de elaborar traducciones exentas del filologismo que ha venido caracterizando tantas versiones hasta la fecha. Al considerar la traducción como una práctica de escritura que procura evitar tanto el localismo como un código ético angustiado con preservar los derechos de la alteridad, este artículo propone una serie de estrategias de traducción dirigidas a la elaboración de traducciones que proporcionen expresión inglesa a estas obras clásicas sin que dejen de pertenecerse a sí mismas.

We report our approach to creating a microfluidic chip (namely UroLOC) that mimics the acinar/tubular structure and the luminal microenvironment of exocrine glands. The chip utilises a nanostructured membrane that is designed to provide a 3-dimensional supporting scaffold for the growth of exocrine acinus epithelial cells. The nanostructured membrane was produced using layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes, and formed into 3-dimensional hemispherical cavities and “finger-like” structures in order to mimic the natural architecture of acini found in exocrine glands. We utilised normal (PNT2) and cancerous (PC3, LNCaP) prostate epithelial cells to demonstrate the proof-of-concept of using MALDI (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation) profiling of secretions collected after 48 hours of cell growth, with no concentration or purification steps and without any a priori on the knowledge of targeted proteins. This MALDI profiling analysis of the crude supernatants from 3 different cell lines (PNT2, PC3 and LNCaP) demonstrated the capacity of the MALDI profiling approach to discriminate between the different secretome signatures. The UroLOC concept and secretome profiling that we describe opens new opportunities in terms of liquid-biopsy based diagnosis, particularly for the early stages of carcinogenesis.

Introduction

Lyme borreliosis/Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and is one of the most common vector-borne diseases transmitted by ticks.

Material and Methods

A total of 136 Ixodes ricinus ticks, collected in the Ternopil (Ukraine) region, including 126 adults (70 females and 56 males), and 10 nymphs were examined. The identification of the species and their developmental form was based on morphological characteristics.

Results

PCR with B5S-Bor and 23S-Bor primers resulted in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato DNA amplification among six ticks (4.4%). The detailed analysis based on the DNA sequencing showed the presence of DNA of Borrelia afzelii in four samples; the remaining two represented Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, although their genospecies were not determined. The research confirmed the dominance of Borrelia afzelii genospecies in the ticks from Ukraine.

Conclusion

It seems reasonable to undertake similar research in ticks from other regions of Ukraine. Knowledge in this field can be useful for public health and planning the prevention of tick-borne diseases.
The Framework of Cooperative Problem-based Learning (Co-PBL) to Promote Verbal Creativity in EFL Writing: Is It Feasible?
Authors: Ghufron M. Ali , Ermawati Siti
Published: October 2018

One of the influential factors that could affect students' writing skill is verbal creativity (VC). As an attempt to promote VC in EFL writing, two learning models i.e. cooperative learning and problem-based learning are incorporated and modified. This study was aimed at: (1) describing the structure of the framework of Co-PBL in order to promote VC in EFL writing; and (2) evaluating the feasibility of the framework of Co-PBL in EFL writing class. To achieve the goals of this study, a descriptive explanatory research was applied. It involves the EFL writing teachers and the first and second-grade students of English Education Department of a private university in East Java, Indonesia. The data were gathered through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), observation, semi-structured interview, and questionnaire. Incorporating cooperative learning (CL) and problem-based learning (PBL) results in the Co-PBL framework to guide the students through PBL cycles based on CL principles. The Co-PBL framework was also modified by inserting learning activities which could promote VC in EFL writing in each phase or cycle of PBL. Further, it was also confirmed that the Co-PBL framework is feasible to be implemented in EFL writing class. These findings, then, might have significant implications for EFL writing teachers and students.

Multiphase flow modeling of asphaltene precipitation and deposition
Authors: Tabzar Amir , Fathinasab Mohammad , Salehi Afshin , Bahrami Babak , Mohammadi Amir H.
Published: October 2018

Asphaltene precipitation in reservoirs during production and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) can cause serious problems that lead to reduction of reservoir fluid production. In order to study asphaltene tendency to precipitate and change in flow rate as a function of distance from wellbore, an equation of state (Peng-Robinson) based model namely Nghiem et al.’s model has been employed in this study. The heaviest components of crude oil are separated into two parts: The first portion is considered as non-precipitating component (C31A+) and the second one is considered as precipitating component (C31B+) and the precipitated asphaltene is considered as pure solid. For determination of the acentric factor and critical properties, Lee-Kesler and Twu correlations are employed, respectively. In this study, a multiphase flow (oil, gas and asphaltene) model for an asphaltenic crude oil for which asphaltene is considered as solid particles (precipitated, flocculated and deposited particles), has been developed. Furthermore, effect of asphaltene precipitation on porosity and permeability reduction has been studied. Results of this study indicate that asphaltene tendency to precipitate increases and permeability of porous medium decreases by increasing oil flow rate in under-saturated oil reservoirs and dropping reservoir pressure under bubble point pressure. On the other hand, asphaltene tendency to precipitate decreases with pressure reduction to a level lower than bubble point pressure where asphaltene starts to dissolve back into oil phase. Moreover, it is observed that precipitation zone around the wellbore develops with time as pressure declines to bubble point pressure (production rate increases up). Also, there is an equilibrium area near wellbore region at which reservoir fluid properties such as UAOP (Upper Asphaltene Onset Pressure) and LAOP (Lower Asphaltene Onset Pressure) are constant and independent of the distance from wellbore.

Published: October 2018

A sample of polyvinylidene fluoride removed from a riser component was tested in laboratory to evaluate its electromechanical behavior. For this, an experimental setup was developed, after Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) results have shown through the absorption bands, that this sample had a spectrum of the piezoelectric phase β. In order to identify if such sample would be able to respond electrically to the application of external mechanical excitation applied by a shaker, measurements were made of the induced voltages by piezoelectric effect, with varying accelerations and frequencies. The results indicated that the material, although it has not been processed for this purpose, responds electrically to the applied mechanical stimulus, demonstrating a good correlation between the measured signals and the accelerations.

Poly(p-phenylene vinylene)s (PPVs) have been studied for decades, but research on this interesting class of conjugated polymers is far from being completed. New applications like in bioimaging keep emerging and even simple structural variations are still waiting to be explored. Surprisingly, not even dithioalkyl-substituted PPVs (S-PPVs) have been reported in the peer-reviewed literature, although the corresponding dialkoxy-substituted PPVs (O-PPVs) like MEH-PPV or MDMO-PPV are most frequently used and although thioalkyl substituents can improve the material properties significantly. We herein report the development of a highly efficient, scalable two-step synthesis of Gilch monomers for S-PPVs starting from low-cost 1,4-diiodobenzene. A low-temperature polymerization protocol has been developed for these monomers, affording high-molecular weight S-PPVs in excellent yields. The thermal, electrochemical, and photophysical properties of S-PPVs are reported to highlight the potential of these polymers. Furthermore, treatment with dimethyldioxirane is demonstrated to result in rapid conversion into sulfone-substituted PPVs (SO2-PPVs), introducing a route to high-molecular weight SO2-PPVs with exceptional stability and solid-state photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 0.46.
Breast lump excision: histopathological analysis
Authors: SINGH SARLA Gurmeet
Published: October 2018

The presence of a lump in the breast is a great cause of anxiety and apprehension in females. Of these lumps, the most important diagnosis is cancer of the breast and the most common lumps are benign. The aim of this study is to review and analyse the histological diagnosis of breast lumps of patients seen in the department of surgery in a peripheral hospital in Nasik, Maharashtra. This is a retrospective study covering a period of 2 years wherein histopathology reports of 90 patients aged 20-60 years who presented with breast masses underwent excision biopsy in the department of surgery in a peripheral hospital in Nasik, Maharashtra were studied. During the 2-year period, 90 patients aged 20-60 years who presented with breast masses underwent excision biopsy. 35 patients had right sided breast lumps, while the left breast was involved in 55 cases. The histological diagnosis showed that 88 patients (97.77%) had benign disease while 2 had malignant tumours (2.22%). Fibroadenoma was the commonest benign tumour encountered, phyllodes tumour was relatively uncommon.  The ages of patients with fibroadenoma ranged from 20 to 40 years .Of the 2 patients who had carcinoma, one was below the age of 40 years and the other one was above 50 years of age. Benign breast diseases, i.e., fibroadenoma, fibroadenosis, phyllodes tumour are the commoner breast diseases and not all breast lumps are cancerous. Age is a strong determinant of risk for breast cancer and breast lumps in patients above 40 years of age should be offered excision biopsy and subsequent histopathological examination. The importance of histopathological analysis of lumps cannot be overemphasized. The increase in the size of the lump increases proportionately with increasing age.

Las comunidades vegetales micróf ilas y xeróf ilas en el norte de Chihuahua se desarrollan en condiciones de estrés climático y ambiental. Se considera que esta resistencia puede estar relacionada con la presencia de hongos micorrízicos de tipo vesículo arbusculares (HMVA). El objetivo de este trabajo fue relacionar el tipo de suelo con la presencia de HMVA en la rizósfera de las plantas de matorrales desérticos, como una posible respuesta a la resistencia de las plantas bajo condiciones ambientales extremas en las comunidades vegetales del área natural protegida (ANP) médanos de Samalayuca, Juárez, Chihuahua. Durante los meses de marzo a octubre de 2016, se realizaron dos muestreos dirigidos seleccionando cuatro puntos de muestreo con base en el tipo de comunidad vegetal registrada en campo. Los transectos fueron de 100 m, se generaron diez parcelas de 20 × 25 m2 en cada zona y para cada parcela se registró el número de individuos por especie vegetal. Los índices de Shannon, Simpson, Pielou y Morisita fueron utilizados para el estudio de las comunidades. Se tomaron submuestras de suelo de 500 g a una profundidad de 0 a 30 cm en cada sitio de muestreo. Los análisis físicos y químicos de suelo fueron pH, textura, conductividad eléctrica, porcentaje de humedad, nitrógeno mineral y fósforo extractable. La extracción y conteo de esporas de HMVA se realizó por medio de tamizado húmedo, decantación y centrifugación en solución sacarosa al 70%. Se determinaron tres tipos de comunidad vegetal: matorral inerme parvifolio, matorral mediano subinerme y matorral de médanos. La especie con mayor presencia y dominancia fue Larrea tridentata. Los suelos del área estudiada resultaron ser arenosos, alcalinos, con baja salinidad y contenido de nitrógeno y altos de fósforo. Los géneros de HMVA encontrados fueron: Gigaspora, Acaulospora, Glomus y Paraglomus. El análisis de correlación de Pearson indicó que no existe relación estadística signif icativa entre la cantidad de nitrógeno inorgánico con la densidad de las esporas de HMVA (r = 0.585), mientras que para el fósforo se detectó una signif icativa relación entre su concentración y la densidad de esporas (r = 0.987). La relación entre la cantidad de esporas y concentración de nutrientes del suelo demuestra que entre más bajo en nutrientes es menor el número de esporas, sin embargo, no se puede determinar directamente la resistencia de las plantas con la presencia de los HMVA.

This paper presents some experimental determinations concerning the dynamics under changing loads of the forces in windbracings and of the stress in the elements sensitive to fracture.

The experiments are achieved after a preliminary analysis of the potential failure zones of the crane is done.

The achievement of the experiments is based on the following logical structure of the experiment: the preparation of the measurement devices and of the used transducers, the achievement of an assembling diagram, the establishment of the quantities (parameters) which will be recorded, the execution of the mounting and of the experimental determinations, the presentation of diagrams and/or tables, conclusions, comparisons to the theoretical data established in the former paper. The paper presents the field of stresses and sectional strains in windbracings.

Authors: CABIBBO MARCELLO , CICCARELLI DANIELE
Published: October 2018

ZnO nanowires are currently used in many application fields. Thermal stability is often a concern in terms of the mechanical response and, in particular, for the elasticity of the nanowires. Literature works focused, to a certain degree, on the nanowires heating response. Anyhow, no experimental data are nowadays available in literature on the low- and very low-temperature exposures. In the present study, deep-cryogenic treatment was performed on vertically aligned ZnO nanowires produced by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The critical buckling stress and strain of individual nanowires was not significantly influenced by the cryogenic exposure, while the bulk ZnO halved.

Landfill management is one of the major issues in the application of sustainable development principles and ecological maintenance of the cities. Promoting their appreciation, and even more preventing for their minimization, are at the heart of many debates within the scientific community, local communities, companies and civil society. The city of Kinshasa is demographically growing much too fast, its capacity to manage the waste produced by 10000000 inhabitants is more than overwhelmed. The question is “WHAT CAN BE DONE?” Today it is acknowledged that these quantities of waste can be fruitfully put to use rather than looking at it simply like at a bothersome, congesting and polluting phenomenon. We have now to consider this above all a “secondary” raw materials resource. The problem is not the amount of waste, but the inability of governments and waste disposal companies to get rid of it. The city of Kinshasa seems today to have a certain disconnection from its environment because of the impacts of human actions these last fifty years. In addition to household refuse and pollution causing an unsanitary environment in most parts of the city, one particularly notes the consequences of uncontrolled urbanization and poor waste management, resulting in widespread insalubrity of the city. The present paper was assessed the situation regarding the urban landfills in Kinshasa by using field evaluation and population questioning.

Electrocoagulation (EC) has been known for over a century. Applications in industry as water and wastewater treatment processes were adapted for the removal of suspended solids, organic compounds, COD (Chemical oxygen demand), BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), metallic and non-metallic pollution. The main advantage in EC technology is the fact that it works without the addition of chemical products. The DC current between metallic electrodes immersed in the effluent is used as an energy source for this technique, which causes their dissolution. The effect of the main parameters, current density, treatment time, initial pH, temperature, electrode materials, conductivity and distance between the electrodes were investigated. According to the conclusion of the works published in recent years, the removal efficiencies of pollutants materials by EC process are very important.

The demands of society are changing rapidly, which in turn enhances the need to prepare qualified professionals with up-dated skills and competencies. Due to this fact, universities must be able to develop new teaching strategies which should be focused, not only in the curricula, but on teaching methodology. This paper shows an experience, developed for the subject matter of electrical installations within the Construction Engineering degree of the Autonomous University of Chile. The aim is to show a Project-Based Learning model using cooperative as well as collaborative strategies, while taking into ac-count both the particular situation of higher education in Chile and the socio-cultural factors of students. The methodology and tools used for its implementation are described and related to obtained results within the Chilean context. It concludes that this teaching method contributes with learning enhancement in terms of strengthening of technical and transversal competencies, while also resulting in a significant improvement of grades, as well as a marked reduction in the absenteeism rate.

Gelecekte artan nüfus ile su tüketiminin artacağı

bilinmektedir. Ülkemizde suyun en fazla tarımda kullanıldığı için tarımsal

sulama önemlidir. Sulama bitkisel üretimi sınırlayan en önemli faktörlerdendir.

Sulanabilir arazi alanının artmasıyla tarımsal su ihtiyacı artmaktadır. Bu

yüzden artan su ihtiyacının karşılanması için su tasarrufu yoluna gidilmeli ve

kaliteli drenaj sularının tekrar kullanılmalıdır. Drenaj sularının içeriğindeki

kirleticilerin miktarı düşünüldüğünde, kalitesinin iyileştirilerek yeniden

kullanılması ve kullanım süresince takip edilerek kullanılması gerekmektedir. GAP

projesi kapsamında 1995 yılında başlatılan sulama, kademeli olarak arttırarak

147.887 hektarlık alanda yapılmaktadır. Harran Ovasının sulamasında, suyun,

ovanın sonuna ulaşmaması nedeniyle, yer altı kuyuları açılmış ve drenajdan elde

edilen geri dönüşüm suları regülatör yardımıyla sulama suyuna karıştırılarak

tekrar kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Harran Ovasında drenaj kanalındaki sular ile

sulama yapmak yaygınlaştırılmıştır. Bu hem sulama etkinliğini arttırmış, hem de

ova dışına drenajla akıp giden su miktarını azaltmıştır. Bu çalışmada, sulamada

kullanılan geri dönüşüm sularından örnekler alınarak, EC (Elektriksel

iletkenlik), pH ve SAR (Sodyum adsorbsiyon oranı) analizleri yapılmıştır.

Analiz sonuçlarına göre, kış aylarında toplanan su örneklerinin EC değerleri

yaz aylarından toplanan örneklerin EC değerlerinden daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuş

ve sonuç olarak bu suların sulamada değerlendirilebileceği kanısına varılmıştır.
