Authors: Farid Lily Yulianti
Published: June 2019

Lily Yulianti Farid interviewed Dr. Kanti Pertiwi, founder of the PhD Mama Indonesia online forum (www.phdmamaindonesia.com). Dr. Pertiwi received her PhD from the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne in 2017. She is a mother of three daughters and a lecturer in the Faculty of Economics at the University of Indonesia. She defnes a PhD Mama as a mother from Indonesia who is pursuing her doctoral degree overseas, accompanied by her husband and children.Dr. Pertiwi created the PhD Mama Indonesia forum in 2016 as an online platform for Indonesian female doctoral students to share stories and ideas. As temporary migrants in Australia and elsewhere, these students discuss their shared problems and interests as mothers, wives, and foreign students. The site’s web administrator interviews the members and invites them to write their own stories for the website. Success stories balancing doctoral studies with family life have become the main focus. The digital interaction and connection afforded by the PhD Mama forum highlight the challenges faced by middle-class Indonesian women when their culture, traditional values, and religion infuence their perceptions of how to be a good mother and wife while spending four to seven years overseas to pursue an academic career.
Organización de la política y oferta de turismo en el Noreste Mexicano
Authors: Vázquez Martínez Gustavo Adolfo
Published: June 2019

La organización de la actividad turística en México está basada en las políticas públicas que el Gobierno federal ha generado –desde los años sesenta del siglo pasado– para insertar al país en la dinámica mundial del turismo, y en la actualidad, para consolidar y diversificar su oferta. En el caso del noreste mexicano, el turismo se concibe a partir de diversos atractivos de tipo natural, cultural y económico. Sin embargo, la política pública y la acción del sector público y privado, aunadas a factores sociales, no se encuentran coordinadas para el impulso turístico de la región. Con base en un análisis elaborado a partir de medios bibliográficos, hemerográficos y estadísticos de la estructura económica, social y política de los últimos sexenios del Gobierno federal y estatal (2000-2018) de la región, así como de la oferta turística, se destacan las potencialidades y se proponen directrices para la planeación de proyectos y desarrollo turístico.
El espacio público como elemento de cohesión territorial
Authors: López María José , Faginas Valeria Lucía
Published: June 2019

Los modelos de ciudades sustentables y proyectos de renovación turística han valorizado los espacios públicos para generar condiciones de habitabilidad, competitividad y sustentabilidad. El trabajo analiza las condiciones físicoespaciales que permiten la conexión espacial y la integración social del eje costero de Miramar como espacio público y turístico, y elemento clave para la cohesión territorial. Para ello, se establecieron indicadores que permitieran evaluar la circulación, la articulación territorial, la aptitud para el uso social y la atractividad y vitalidad. Luego se realizó la recolección de datos y su registro en fichas, y se evaluaron las condiciones del eje. Se estableció que la cohesión territorial es media, y sus aspectos restrictivos son la insuficiencia de equipamiento o condiciones de mantenimiento, mientras que los aspectos favorables son las condiciones paisajísticas, la permeabilidad y legibilidad del eje. Los resultados brindan información para impulsar el modelo turístico hacia pautas sustentables vinculadas a la humanización de los espacios.
Coordinación diversificada y diálogo de saberes para cadenas de valor de turismo
Authors: Ochoa Zuluaga Germán Ignacio
Published: June 2019

La dinámica expansiva del turismo alrededor del mundo, del centro hacia la periferia, ha propiciado que muchas poblaciones nativas de sitios remotos participen en el sector, lo que afecta su modo de vida y sus relaciones sociales. Mucha atención se ha prestado al control de agentes externos sobre estas poblaciones. Este artículo propone un avance conceptual al enfatizar en las formas de coordinación. Como abordaje metodológico, el artículo avanza sobre las variables de la coordinación del enfoque de cadenas globales de valor aplicadas a un caso de turismo en la Amazonia colombiana. La información se generó por medio de entrevistas, observación participativa y talleres con funcionarios de un parque nacional, seis comunidades indígenas y un concesionario privado. Se propone la coordinación diversificada basada en el diálogo de saberes y se sugiere que procesos de largo plazo que respeten los modos de vida tradicionales y las expectativas de las poblaciones nativas pueden mejorar su participación en el turismo y disminuir su impacto.
The Effects of Celebrity Endorser Authenticity and Product Congruence on Brand Experience
Authors: Cruikshank Catherine , 2018 Class of
Published: June 2019

The purpose of this study is to observe the impact of celebrity endorser authenticity and product congruence on brand experience, brand evaluations and celebrity evaluations. Celebrity authenticity is defined by the celebrity’s ability to demonstrate rarity and stability, or their ability to maintain unique characteristics and talents consistently across time and situation. Congruence is how well a celebrity endorser matches with the brand’s product or product category. Previous studies suggest that both of these constructs independently enhance brand evaluations, such as brand loyalty, positive word of mouth, and emotional connection. In this case, authenticity and congruence were observed together. To test whether authenticity and congruence jointly impacted brand experience, brand evaluations, and celebrity evaluations, an experiment was conducted. In order to ensure internal validity, known brands and known celebrities were not used. Instead, a vignette approach was utilized. I found that, overall, authentic and congruent endorsement independently produced the strongest brand experience and the strongest evaluations. Authenticity and congruence together did not produce a synergistic effect but independently, when a celebrity endorser was authentic versus not authentic, evaluations were better and when a celebrity was congruent versus incongruent, evaluations were better. Therefore, in conclusion, if brand managers are looking to enhance brand experience or brand evaluations through celebrity endorsement, it is best to hire a celebrity that is authentic and a celebrity that is aligned with the brand’s product or product category. Additionally, if looking to enhance the evaluations of their currently contracted celebrity endorsers, perceived authenticity significantly impacts these evaluations. An overarching insight this study demonstrates, however, is that in an age of excess use of technology and social media where information is more readily available, it is important for companies to look beyond just profession when determining the best endorsement candidate to hire.

Influencing factors on further development of bilingual education in Macedonia
Authors: Hajrullai Hajrulla
Published: June 2019

Macedonia has implemented bilingualism in schools for more than a decade. However, this bilingualism has been realized in a step-by-step program in the Macedonian schools by introducing minorities to bilingual programs first starting from primary, then secondary and lately tertiary education in mother language of minorities. This approach was originally thought to help minority students learn the majority language and in that way find their way in the market economy. In practice, bilingual programs in Macedonian schools as well as teacher training programs in the state universities have limited view of what it means to have bilingual education, professional bilingual teachers, and how these teachers should teach bilingual students. This paper explores how political, social, and economic developments in one country influences by further developing or limiting bilingual education in all levels in Macedonia and how bilingualism in schools can be misused for the government to keep the minorities oppressed. This paper will overview the major political and educational events that took place in Macedonia that concern and seriously affected further development of bilingual education in the country.

Application of the KVI-R to Assess and Compare Training Needs for Private and Public State-Federal Rehabilitation Counselors
Authors: Beveridge Scott , Durant Sarah , Penrod John
Published: June 2019

Background

The KVI-R was developed by a team of researchers in collaboration with the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) as a measurement instrument to assess training needs of rehabilitation counselors. The KVI-R includes 92 items measured on two dimensions: importance to the rehabilitation counseling field and degree of preparedness to work in that area.

Objective

The objective for this study was to assess and compare training needs reported by private sector and public sector rehabilitation counselors via the KVI-R.

Methods

Participant data for this study was compiled from two previous studies examining rehabilitation counselors working the public sector and a second study examining the private sector. A sample of 442 public sector rehabilitation counselors were recruited from the state-federal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies within the federal Mid-Atlantic Region III (DC, DE, MD, PA, VA, WV). A sample of 423 private sector rehabilitation counselors across the United States were recruited through the George Washington University's Forensic Rehabilitation Counseling Certificate Program marketing email list for a total sample of N = 865 Participants responded to two pre- and post- survey questions along with the Knowledge Validation Inventory–Revised (KVI-R) instrument which is used to measure training needs of rehabilitation professionals.

Findings

There were no statistically significant differences shown between the two groups' overall training need or for any KVI-R domain specific need. Both groups indicated that time spent in training was unnecessarily emphasized in areas of group counseling practices and interventions, group counseling theories, and historical philosophical foundations of rehabilitation counseling. Comparing qualitative responses between rehabilitation counselors in the private and the public sector, there were several areas of differences in reported training needs. Those who worked in the public sector reported significantly higher perceived benefits from further training for persons with disabilities (p = .001). Additionally, demographic differences were found between overall years practicing, with private sector counselors having about twice the clinical experience on average compared to the public sector counselors. In addition, private sector counselors had significantly more professional credentials compared to public sector rehabilitation counselors.
Inteligencia Emocional en Estudiantes de Comunicación: Estudio Comparativo bajo el Modelo de Educación por Competencias
Authors: Palomino Flores Paola , Almenara Carlos A.
Published: June 2019

El objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar los niveles de inteligencia emocional (IE) de estudiantes según el nivel de logro esperado de competencias. Participaron 313 estudiantes (M = 20.20 años, D.E. = 2.41; 61% mujeres) de ciencias de la comunicación de una universidad privada de Lima (Perú) que utiliza el Modelo de Educación por Competencias. La IE se midió con la Wong-Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS). El nivel de logro de competencias agrupa a los estudiantes en: “logro inicial” (participantes de los primeros tres semestres académicos, 45.7% del total) y “logro superior” (cuarto a décimo semestre). Se encontró diferencias de género en IE, por lo que los análisis comparativos se realizaron separados por género. En los hombres no se encontró diferencias de IE entre grupos (logro inicial y logro superior). Por el contrario, las mujeres de logro inicial puntuaron más alto que el grupo de mujeres de logro superior en: evaluación emocional de los demás, uso de emociones y en el puntaje total de IE. Se sugiere la necesidad de incorporar la competencia de IE dentro del modelo educativo de esta institución académica, así como realizar estudios longitudinales.

Authors: Milenković Dejan , Dimitrić Marković Jasmina M , Dimić Dušan , Jeremić Svetlana , Amić Dragan , Stanojević Pirković Marijana , Marković Zoran S
Published: June 2019

Calculations based on the density functional theory, with the B3LYP functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, were performed with the aim of confirming the molecular structure and spectroscopic characteristics of kaempferol, a naturally occurring flavonoid molecule. The electronic structure of kaempferol was examined using NBO analysis. The assigning of the experimentally obtained IR and Raman spectra was performed after the best-fit-based comparison with theoretical spectra. The 13C and 1H NMR experimental spectra were related to the theoretically obtained values of the chemical shifts determined by the GIAO method. The correlation coefficient and the average absolute error values proved B3LYP-D3 to be an adequate method in describing the NMR parameters of kaempferol. Molecular docking analysis was carried out in order to identify the potency of inhibition of the title molecule against human procalcitonin. The inhibition activity was obtained for 10 conformations of ligand inside the protein.

The Cultural Competency Scale for Clinical Pediatric Nurse (Ccs-Cpn) in Indonesia: Scale Development and Psychometric Evaluation
Authors: Suza Dewi Elizadiani
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT

Background: Nurses play an important role to apply practice in cultural competence in hospitals. To perform this role nurses need to provide information on the conceptual aspects of cultural competence by using instruments and assessing cultural competence in a clinical setting. Objectives of the study: 1) to develop the cultural competency for clinical pediatric nurse (CCS-CPN), and 2) to psychometric evaluate the validity and reliability of CCS-CPN. Methods: An inductive method was used to develop an instrument to measure nurse perceptions of CCS-CPN. The scale validation was conducted with a purposive sampling of 450 general hospital nurses recruited from twenty general hospitals in Indonesia. DeVellis’ eight-step plan was used to establish guidelines for development the CCS-CPN. The data was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is a method to identify the internal dimensions of the CCS-CPN. Results: Using an EFA, 30-items with a six-factor structure were retained to form the CCS-CPN. These factors describe: culture awareness of pediatric nurse; culture knowledge of pediatric nurse; culture skill of pediatric nurse; culture encounter of pediatric nurse; culture desire of pediatric nurse; and culture sensitivity of pediatric nurse. The 30-item CCS-CPN yielded an overall Cronbach’s alpha-coefficients .85. The Cronbach’s alpha-coefficients for the CCS-CPN subscales were .81, .73, .81, .75, .78 and .87, respectively. Conclusion: The 30-item CCS-CPN version of Indonesia consists of six-factors were acceptable and significant. Unfortunelly, factor 4 obtained an item that does not represent the dimensions of the culture encounter of pediatric nurses. Therefore, further research is needed by using different method of Delphi method.

Authors: Risteski Mihajlo , Woodward Stephen , Ježić Marin , Rusevski Rade , Kuzmanovska Biljana , Sotirovski Kiril
Published: June 2019

From 2013–2017, 11 chestnut populations and 16 apple orchards/plantations in Macedonia were examined for health; soil, root and bark samples were collected from trees expressing symptoms regarded as Phytophthora specific. Using leaf baits of Prunus laurocerasus and selective V8 Agar (PARPNH), 19 pure Phytophthora sp. cultures were isolated and identified as P. cactorum by ITS sequencing. Sixteen isolates were from apple trees and 3 from chestnut trees. Phylogenetic analyses suggested slight distance between P. cactorum isolates originating from chestnut trees compared to those from apple orchards. Assessment of pathogenicity using chestnuts twigs showed no differences be-tween P. cactorum isolates from the two tree host species.
Rotational Vertebral Artery Occlusion Syndrome
Authors: Sotheran Matthew
Published: June 2019

Rotational vertebral artery occlusion syndrome (RVAOS) is an uncommon, but well-described etiology vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Symptoms (vertigo, headache, and syncope) are caused by dynamic compression of the vertebral artery. Conservative management consists of trigger avoidance, neck braces, and antiplatelet therapy. Operative techniques include surgical decompression and endovascular catheterization. Herein, 4 recently published case studies are reviewed, which suggest that while conservatively managing RVAOS may reduce symptoms and risk of posterior circulation stroke with permanent deficits, surgical intervention remains necessary for quality of life.

Published: June 2019

Background:

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the most reliable way of evaluating the effect of new treatments by comparing them with previously accepted treatment regimens. The results obtained from an RCT are extrapolated from the study environment to the general health care system. The ability to do so is called external validity. We sought to evaluate the external validity of an RCT comparing the results of total hip arthroplasty with those of hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in patients ≥80 years of age.

Methods:

This prospective, single-center cohort study included 183 patients ≥80 years of age who had a displaced femoral neck fracture. All patients were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria for an RCT comparing total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty. The population for this study consisted of patients who gave their informed consent and were randomized into the RCT (consenting group, 120 patients) as well as those who declined to give their consent to participate (non-consenting group, 63 patients). The outcome measurements were mortality, complications, and patient-reported outcome measures. Follow-up was carried out postoperatively with use of a mailed survey that included patient-reported outcome questionnaires.

Results:

We found a statistically significant and clinically relevant difference between the groups, with the non-consenting group having a higher risk of death compared with the consenting group. (hazard ratio, 4.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.9 to 11.1). No differences were found between the groups in terms of patient-reported outcome measures or surgical complications.

Conclusions:

This cohort study indicates a higher mortality rate but comparable hip function and quality of life among eligible non-consenters as compared with eligible consenters when evaluating the external validity of an RCT in patients ≥80 years of age with femoral neck fracture.

Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
PROTOCOLS AND OTHER VOLUNTARY COMMITMENTS WITHIN EUROPEAN TRANSNATIONAL INSOLVENCY REGULATION, EIR 848/2015
Authors: Pasquariello Federica
Published: June 2019

In response to cross-border insolvencies, conflicts of law and jurisdiction may arise and they cannot be resolved in a strictly Territorial approach. In fact, in an era of globalized and interconnected economies, an insolvency proceeding on a narrow national basis, which coexists with at least one other local proceeding may leadto unexpected outcomes. Actually, under Territorialism, each Country seizes the debtor’s assets which are located within its borders and conducts a separate bankruptcy proceeding to divide those assets among local creditors according to local law, while no proceeding affects each other. This causes a sharp fragmentation of the active and passive masses, and produces disappointing effects both on the level of creditors’ recovery, and on the front of an increase of costs as well.

Published: June 2019

Background

Consecutive homozygous fragments of the genome that inherited from a common ancestor to offspring are known as runs of homozygosity (ROH). The ROH stretches can be used to estimate the genomic inbreeding and also for identifying genomic regions under extensive selection pressure. The aims of this study were (i) to estimate inbreeding based on ROH (FROH); (ii) to compare FROH with FHOM (excess of homozygosity), FUNI (correlation between uniting gametes), and FGRM (genomic relationship matrix); and (iii) to identify frequently occurred ROH islands (i.e., shared by >20% of the population) for gene enrichment analyses. A dataset consisted of 396 buffalo including Azeri (N = 281) and Khuzestani (N = 115) breeds genotyped for ~65000 SNP were used.

Results

In total, 10,245 ROH were identified with an average number of 23.3±14.1 and 33.2±15.9 segments per animal for Azeri (AZ) and Khuzestani (KHZ) breeds, respectively. Our results showed that on average 4.71% (117.9±120.7 Mb) and 5.96% (149.15±107.7 Mb) of the genome of AZ and KHZ is autozygous, respectively. The amount of FHOM, FUNI and FGRM were 0.03, 0.03 and 0.03 in Azeri breed and 0.02, 0.02 and 0.02 in Khuzestani breed, respectively. Strong correlations between FROH-FHOM (0.93) and between FROH-FUNI (0.98 and 0.94) and moderate to strong correlations between FROH-FGRM (0.86 and 0.78) were obtained. Overall, we identified 13 frequently occurred ROH regions. The GO analyses revealed numerous enriched terms for the ROH gene list in KHZ breed. Genes associated with adaptation to hot and arid climate (BMP2), immune response (CYP27B1), milk production, protein, and fat percentage (MARS and ADRA1A, KCTD16), coat color and pigmentation (PMEL and MYO1A), reproductive traits (INHBE and INHBC, STAT6, PCNA), and bone development (SUOX) were identified.

Conclusion

Genes within common ROH spots present a modest phenotypic selection for milk production traits in Khuzestani buffalo. Further, our results suggest that natural selection may have a role in forming the genome of Iranian buffaloes in order to adapt them to the harsh environment of the country.
New ultrasound marker to assess the cervix when predicting preterm birth
in the first trimester of pregnancy
Authors: V.G. Volkov, O.V. Chursina
Published: June 2019

The marker for preterm labor in routine practice at this time is only the measurement of the length of the
cervix. However, the low sensitivity of this test (approximately 38 % in the first trimester of pregnancy) initiates
a search for new markers of the threat of preterm labor. The indicators of the glandular zone of the cervical canal
(GI, CGA, EGE), studied using statistical methods in the first trimester of pregnancy, showed the presence
of a direct average correlation strength of this indicators and the term of labor, the sensitivity of 57 % with a
specificity of 98,9 %. Thus, performing cervicometry during pregnancy, especially in early periods, it is necessary to evaluate not only the length, but also the structure of the cervix. The echo negative zone of the cervical
canal is presented to the authors of this article as a kind of "ultrasonic marker for fibronectin" and undoubtedly
requires further study.

Vertical vibration attenuation for truck’s suspension seat by adjusting air spring stiffness
Authors: Boonporm Pornporm , Houdjaroen Kriattisak , Baumart Thanarat
Published: June 2019

Our study deals with the vibration isolation at the suspension seat to reduce the human body’s harmfulness from the oscillation. The unwanted vibration transmitted from unpredicted road roughness via chassis throughout to the driver in widely range of excited frequency. The passive suspension cannot overcome the problem, but the active suspension is too complicate and expensive for this system. Consequently, we propose the idea concerning an adjustment of the air spring stiffness in order to change the characteristic of the system. The air spring stiffness was initially identified via the vibration investigation and measurement. After that, the method of stiffness adjustment is proposed. The result show that the weight root mean square vertical acceleration must follow the comfort range following ISO 2631-1.
Passive vibration control of plate using nodal patterns of mode shape
Authors: Abdul Malik Zainab , Akmal Din Naveed
Published: June 2019

Passive constrained layer damping (PCLD) is nowadays a general method for reducing vibrations. Constrained layer damping (CLD) is a very good technology in terms of reducing vibration energy. This paper deals with optimal damping of first three modes of a thin square cantilever plate by constrained viscoelastic layers which are positioned according to the nodal patterns of the mode. In essence, the CLD patches are cut according to the nodal patterns and then applied on to the bare plate. Thus, this approach uses prior information of the deformation patterns of the plate. The ABAQUS finite element analysis software was used to create viscoelastically damped plate models subjected to forced vibration. The direct steady-state dynamic analysis was used to obtain the frequency response functions from which the resonance frequencies of the models were derived. Vibration control using nodal pattern CLD patches is a better way to apply CLD treatment to a plate. This is because the mode shapes give good predictions of where the maximum strains are in the plate as well as the design and size of the damping patches required. It is believed that the methodology proposed in this research work is capable of providing good results.
Misfire fault diagnosis of diesel engine based on VMD and XWT
Authors: Jia Jide , Ren Gang , Mei Jianmin
Published: June 2019

For diesel engine misfire fault diagnosis under strong noise, a new method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and cross wavelet transform (XWT) is proposed. Firstly, the vibration signal of cylinder head is processed by stages according to the working cycle of diesel engine, and then the vibration signal of each working cycle is re-sampled according to the same angle. Then the vibration signal of cylinder head is decomposed by VMD to denoise adaptively and reconstruct the signal. Next, XWT is used to analyze the time-frequency correlation of any two continuous working cycle signals, and the non-periodic components and random noise in the vibration signals are further eliminated to extract the combustion characteristics of diesel engines. Finally, the misfire fault of diesel engine is diagnosed by calculating the energy proportion of each cylinder in time-frequency space. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment.

The difference of the proposed methods is the geometric approach  to  the  formulation  and  solution  of  the  problem.  Brief  algorithms  and  descriptions  of  computer  programs  of  three  geometric methods are presented: the «exit into (n + 1)‑dimensional space» method, the method using the fixed‑point properties and the  unifying method. The application of each of these algorithms to the problem of calculating the spatial trajectory of a horizontal  well resulted in obtaining identical solutions that coincide with the results of calculations using classical numerical methods. The  disadvantages and limitations of each of the three geometric methods for solving systems of equations are noted.
POSIBILITY OF CREATING A PRINTED SINGLE-LAYER TRANSREFLECTOR WITH INCREASED PHASE EFFICIENCY
Authors: Mikhailov A. N.
Published: June 2019

A new type of single‑layer transrefleсtor structure based on microstrip reflective antenna array is described. The developed  device is a single‑layer printed circuit board on one side of which a system of printed reflectors is located, and on the other is  a polarization structure consisting of parallel metal conductors, in contrast to a microstrip reflectarray antenna. The shape and  geometrical dimensions of printed reflectors arranged in a rectangular or hexagonal (triangular) pattern are chosen in such a way  that they transform a spherical front of an incident vertically polarized electromagnetic wave into a flat front of reflected wave. In  the case of irradiation of the developed transreflector with a horizontal polarization wave, the printed structure makes minimal  electromagnetic energy loss during its passage. The results of characteristics modeling (including phase curves) of an element  of the reflective lattice in the W‑band for different angles of incidence of the wave on the planar structure under study are given.  Based on the results obtained, the sizes of the reflective elements of the transreflector, which provide for the correction of the  incident wave with the necessary phase discrete, are determined and an electrodynamic model of the transreflector antenna is  built. The simulation of the main radiation characteristics of the antenna with the developed single‑layer transreflector was carried  out.

The  article  describes  the  possible  directions  of  improving  the  complex  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Federal law «On transport security» of 09.02.2007 № 16‑FZ on the transport infrastructure of the metro. The new decree of the  Government of the Russian Federation dated April 5, 2017 No. 410 «On approval of requirements for transport security, including  requirements for anti‑terrorist security of metro facilities» includes requirements for anti‑terrorist security of facilities (territories),  which take into account the security levels of different categories of subways» specifies the basic requirements for technically  equipped technical means of transport security. In order to implement the requirements set out in the regulatory documents to  ensure the requirements of transport security, in the presence of a sufficient number of restrictions (lack of opportunities for the  installation of technical means of transport security at the facilities of early construction, the requirements for maintaining the level  of passenger traffic, etc.), the approach outlined in the article is proposed.
Using Regression Kriging to Analyze Groundwater According to Depth and Capacity of Wells
Authors: Mhamad Aras Jalal
Published: June 2019

Groundwater is valuable, because it is needed as fresh water for agricultural, domestic, ecological and industrial purposes. However, due to population growth and economic development, the groundwater environment is becoming more and more important and extensive. So the objective of the study is to analyze and predicting groundwater for the year 2018 based on depth and capacity of wells by using the modern style of analyzing and predicting, which is regression kriging (RK) method. Regression kriging is a geostatistical approach that exploits both the spatial variation in the sampled variable itself, and environmental information collected from covariate maps for the target predictor. It is possible to predict groundwater quality maps for areas at Sulaimani governorate in Kurdistan Regions Iraq. Sample data concerning depth and capacity of groundwater wells were collected on Ground Water Directorate in Sulaimani City. The most important result of the study in the regression kriging was the depth and capacity prediction map. The samples from the high depth of wells are located in south of Sulaimani governorate, while the north and middle areas of Sulaimani governorate have got low depths of wells. Although the samples from the high capacity are located in south of Sulaimani governorate, in the north and middle the capacity of wells have decreased. The classes (230 – 482m) of depth are the more area, while the classes (29 – 158G/s) of capacity are the almost area in the study.
The Efficacy of the Concept-Rich Instruction with University Pre-Service Teachers in a Tanzanian Context Using Vygotskian Perspective
Authors: Deogratias Emmanuel
Published: June 2019

This paper presents the findings of a pilot study on concept-rich instruction with university pre-service teachers in a Tanzanian context. The concept-rich instruction is an instructional approach which is used to develop students’ understanding of a mathematical concept (Ben-Hur, 2006). I conducted a pilot study to determine the efficacy of the concept-rich instruction to university pre-service teachers in Tanzania using Vygotskian perspective. I used a reflective journal and pre-test questionnaire to collect data while implementing the CRI in a daylong research meeting. After the pilot study, it was found that the concept-rich instruction helped preservice teachers to develop their understanding of a concept taught at schools in different ways, including defining a concept in multiple ways and relating a concept with local materials available in their daily environment. The findings have implications in the teaching and learning of the mathematical concepts that are taught at schools to the university pre-service teachers.
Costos de producción y precios de mercado en la agricultura. El caso de la semilla híbrida para siembra de maíz blanco en Sinaloa
Authors: Aguilar Gómez Javier , Ramírez Sánchez Oscar
Published: June 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la problemática de los productores de maíz blanco en Sinaloa. Nuestro análisis se centra en la contradicción costos de producción y precios de mercado, con la ayuda dela teoría de los factores de la producción. A pesar de que estos agricultores obtienen rendimientos por hectárea muy elevados, comparables con los de Iowa en Estados Unidos, la productividad del capital que registran se ve limitada por los precios de los insumos que emplean, como la semilla híbrida para siembra. Pensamos que la mejor alternativa para salir de esta dificultad es crear una empresa productora de semillas de maíz blanco en Sinaloa.

Parámetros explosivos para muestras de carbón (Antioquia – Colombia)
Authors: Fuentes Chica Rafael , Molina Escobar Jorge , Blandón Montes Astrid
Published: June 2019

Mediante análisis próximos (humedad residual, HR, cenizas, Cz, materia volátil, MV, carbono fijo, CF, azufre total, ST y poder calorífico, PC), granulométricos, pruebas de temperatura mínima de ignición en nube (TMIn), límite inferior de explosividad (LIE) y severidad de la explosión (Kmáx); se propone identificar cuál carbón produce el polvo más explosivo.

Para la mayoría de las muestras, la más alta cantidad de volumen de partículas de carbón se encuentra entre los 100 μm y los 200 μm. Para la muestra de Amagá, el volumen de partículas menores de 10 μm es el mayor, lo cual está de acuerdo con los resultados de la TMIn, que es la más baja (400 °C), el menor LIE (30 g/m3) y el mayor valor Kmáx (176 bar, m/s). Por el contrario, la muestra de Angelópolis presenta una curva muy sesgada hacia tamaños entre los 60 μm y 300 μm, por tanto, su TMIn es la más alta (480 °C) de la zona oriental de la cuenca del Sinifaná y su LIE es bajo 60 g/m3, e igualmente presenta el menor valor de Kmáx (106 bar, m/s), así, se observa, que existe una relación directa entre la granulometría y los resultados de severidad y sensibilidad a la explosión.

En general se ve un comportamiento diferente entre las muestras de los municipios de Amagá y Titiribí, especialmente entre el LIE y los resultados de los análisis de MV, CF y PC, con respecto a las demás muestras, lo cual también está de acuerdo con su mayor susceptibilidad a la inflamación y a la explosividad.

Authors: Rondón Quintana Hugo Alexander , Muniz de Farias Marcio , Reyes Lizcano Fredy Alberto
Published: June 2019

En la fabricación de mezclas asfálticas se consumen grandes cantidades de agregados pétreos de origen natural lo que impacta negativamente el ambiente. Estos agregados pueden ser sustituidos parcial o totalmente por otros que son desechados en escombreras y producidos por las compañías siderúrgicas, como las escorias de alto horno (BFS) y acero (SS). Estos dos últimos materiales poseen propiedades químicas y físicas que los hacen aptos para ser utilizados en múltiples aplicaciones como la construcción, mantenimiento y rehabilitación de carreteras. En el artículo se presenta una revisión del estado del conocimiento del empleo de BFS y SS en la producción de mezclas asfálticas, se describen y definen ambos materiales, se presenta la problemática ambiental, su riesgo toxicológico de uso, sus propiedades químicas y físicas, las ventajas y limitaciones de uso y la forma como han sido estudiados para ser empleados como agregados pétreos de mezclas asfálticas. Con base en la revisión bibliográfica realizada, los autores al final del artículo exponen algunas recomendaciones para continuar los estudios tendientes a sustituir agregados pétreos naturales por BFS y SS en la fabricación de mezclas asfálticas.

Published: June 2019

El propósito del artículo es evaluar el método usado en el Reglamento colombiano de construcción sismo resistente ( NSR-10) para calcular las aceleraciones de piso que son necesarias para diseñar elementos no estructurales y elementos estructurales que no hacen parte del sistema de resistencia sísmica. En el estudio se comparan las aceleraciones máximas de pisos calculadas con las normas NSR-10, ASCE 7-10, UBC-97, el Eurocódigo 8-04 y NZS 1170.5-04, con las aceleraciones máximas de piso medidas en especímenes ensayados en mesa vibratoria, y en edificaciones existentes durante sismos reales. En el artículo también se propone una modificación al método actualmente utilizado por la NSR-10. La modificación propuesta genera una estimación más acertada de las aceleraciones necesarias para diseñar estos elementos en edificios de mediana y gran altura. Las recomendaciones propuestas se fundamentan en los resultados de la evaluación del método usado actualmente en la NSR-10, el procedimiento usado en otras normas sismorresistentes, en resultados experimentales medidos en modelos de estructuras de concreto reforzado y en aceleraciones registradas en edificios instrumentados.
