Published: June 2021

Reinforced learning is a field of machine learning based on how software agents should perform actions in the environment to maximize the concept of cumulative reward. This paper proposes a new application of machine reinforcement learning techniques in the form of neuro-evolution of augmenting topologies to solve control automation problems using modeling control problems of technical systems. Key application components include OpenAI Gym toolkit for develop-ing and comparing reinforcement learn-ing algorithms, full-fledged open-source implementation of the NEAT genetic al-gorithm called SharpNEAT, and inter-mediate software for orchestration of these components. The algorithm of neu-roevolution of augmenting topologies demonstrates the finding of efficient neural networks on the example of a simple standard problem with continu-ous control from OpenAI Gym.

Authors: Gallucci Gerardo , Altube Gonzalo , Boretto Jorge , Donndorff Agustín , Zaidenberg Ezequiel , Rellán Ignacio , De Carli Pablo
Published: June 2021

Objetivo: Comunicar los resultados de una serie de adultos con consolidaciones en valgo del codo tratados con una osteotomía en cuña sustractiva monoplanar.

Materiales y Métodos: Se incluyeron 5 pacientes. Se describe la técnica quirúrgica que consistió en un abordaje posterior paratricipital, resección en cuña sustractiva y transposición anterior del nervio cubital. El seguimiento promedio fue de 17 meses.

Resultados: Se trató a 4 hombres y una mujer, con una edad promedio de 27 años. La movilidad preoperatoria promedio fue de 138º-7° y la posoperatoria, de 138-6°, el puntaje de dolor en la EAV fue de 4 y 1, el MEPS de 71 y 97, y el DASH de 26 y 8, respectivamente. La evaluación radiográfica preoperatoria arrojó un valgo promedio de 30º con un valgo contralateral de 11º. La corrección radiográfica demostró un valgo de 13º. Se obtuvo una corrección promedio de 2° menos que del otro lado. Todas las osteotomías consolidaron, y la medición de la prominencia medial fue, en promedio, un 32% mayor que en el preoperatorio. Según la escala de Oppenheim, el resultado fue excelente en 4 pacientes y bueno en uno. La satisfacción personal fue, en promedio, de 8,6.

Conclusiones: La osteotomía en cuña sustractiva para tratar un codo valgo es una buena opción terapéutica, con recuperación de valores angulares comparables con el lado contralateral, y alta tasa de satisfacción de los pacientes. Como es una técnica menos compleja que las osteotomías multiplanares, es nuestra elección ante una consolidación viciosa en valgo del codo del adulto.
La Artroscopia bilateral de rodilla en un solo tiempo quirúrgico, ¿es una opción segura?
Authors: García Bistolfi Mariano , Zícaro Juan , Gorodischer Tomás , Yacuzzi Carlos , Costa Paz Matías
Published: June 2021

Introducción: La artroscopia bilateral de rodilla en un solo tiempo quirúrgico permite cursar un solo posoperatorio y una única rehabilitación. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los resultados clínico-funcionales y el tiempo hasta el retorno laboral y deportivo en una serie de pacientes sometidos a una artroscopia bilateral en un solo tiempo quirúrgico.

Materiales y Métodos: Se evaluó a una serie retrospectiva de pacientes desde abril de 2016 hasta abril de 2019, que fueron sometidos a una artroscopia bilateral de rodilla en un solo tiempo quirúrgico. Se analizaron los resultados clínico-funcionales a corto y mediano plazo, y el tiempo para el retorno laboral y deportivo.

Resultados: La edad promedio fue de 41 años (rango 18-63). El seguimiento promedio fue de 18 meses (rango 6-37). Los tiempos de anestesia y quirúrgico promedio fueron 105 min (rango 60-170) y 85 mi (rango 50-150), respectivamente. El tiempo promedio para el retorno laboral fue de 2 meses (rango 1-5). Todos los pacientes recuperaron el rango completo de movilidad articular.

Conclusión: Si bien se han obtenido buenos resultados clínicos con la artroscopia bilateral de rodilla en un solo tiempo, en pacientes seleccionados, no se pueden establecer comparaciones ni conclusiones relevantes debido a la baja casuística y a la gran diversidad de las cirugías realizadas. La principal ventaja radicaría en evitar procedimientos en dos tiempos quirúrgicos, lo que implicaría dos operaciones, dos anestesias y dos programas de rehabilitación diferentes.

Authors: Alzate Munera Mateo Renato , Pereira Sebastián , Bidolegui Fernando
Published: June 2021

Introducción: La rotura del aparato extensor puede ocurrir a nivel óseo o tendinoso; la principal causa es la fractura de rótula, seguida de la rotura del tendón cuadricipital y la rotura del tendón rotuliano. Estas lesiones pueden deberse a traumas directos o indirectos. La rotura tendinosa del aparato extensor es poco frecuente: representa el 3% de todas las lesiones tendinosas. Se presenta con traumatismos relacionados con la actividad diaria, deportiva o asociada a enfermedades sistémicas.
Materiales y Métodos: Presentamos una serie de 22 roturas tendinosas del aparato extensor de la rodilla (8 del tendón cuadricipital [2 bilaterales] y 14 del tendón rotuliano [1 bilateral]), tratadas mediante cirugía, entre junio de 2015 y enero de 2019. Todos los pacientes fueron evaluados inicialmente con radiografías y resonancia magnética. Se empleó la escala de Lysholm para la evaluación funcional posquirúrgica.
Resultados: El seguimiento posquirúrgico fue mínimo de un año (rango 12-24); los resultados fueron excelentes en 13 casos, buenos en 7 casos y regulares en 2 casos.
Conclusión: La reparación primaria, con sutura transósea de las roturas tendinosas del aparato extensor más cerclaje en 8 como aumento en las lesiones del tendón rotuliano brinda una reconstrucción estable, permite implementar un protocolo posquirúrgico de movilización temprana, y así lograr excelentes resultados funcionales con una tasa baja de complicaciones.

Published: June 2021

Com o objetivo de analisar as relações entre otimismo e ganho percebido em cuidadores de crianças com câncer, constituiu-se uma amostra de conveniência de 60 cuidadores, com média de idade de 36,5 anos (DP=9,17), 81,7% de mulheres, em um hospital de referência. Utilizaram-se os instrumentos: Teste de Orientação da Vida, Inventário de Desenvolvimento Pós-Traumático, e questionário sociodemográfico e clínico. Após análise estatística descritiva e inferencial, verificou-se correlação positiva entre otimismo e ganho percebido (percepção de recursos e competências pessoais). Otimismo e ganho percebido também se associaram às variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas: cuidadores casados e com crianças fora de quimioterapia referiram maior ganho percebido; e cuidadores cujos filhos tinham mais tempo de tratamento, se mostraram mais otimistas e com maior ganho percebido. Conclui-se que características individuais e clínicas devem ser consideradas em intervenções com foco na ressignificação da experiência de ter um filho com câncer e o crescimento frente à adversidade.

Development of a caring teacher-student realationship in higher education
Authors: Simel Pranjić Sanja
Published: June 2021

Aim. This article aims to summarize the current state of understanding on a development of a caring teacher-student relationship in higher education context, grounded in relational pedagogy. Also, it provides critical reflection on the data from available literature.
Methods. The development of a caring teacher-student relationship was presented using the method of description, based on the review of relevant literature.
Results. The development of a caring relationship between students and higher education teachers can be monitored in stages. At first, there is the introductory meeting with the students when a teacher with his personality, authenticity, and approach lays the foundations for the development of a caring relationship. During further meetings, the teacher encourages mutual trust, respect, and appreciation and deepens the relationship by adapting the teaching process to the needs, interests, and affinities of students, until the formal completion of their cooperation.
Conclusion. In order to achieve a caring relationship with students in higher education, a teacher needs to approach it consciously, intentionally, thoughtfully and to plan it well from the very beginning. It is crucial to get to know the students as real persons, and accordingly, continuously adapt the teaching process to their needs and interests, allowing them to express themselves freely in a safe, accepting, and encouraging environment.
Cognitive value. By presenting the stages of a development of the caring relationship between students and higher education teachers and the synthesis of their characteristics, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of this phenomenon.
Leading students towards a new soft-skills perspective: development for employment
Authors: SHEHU LOKAJ ALMA , Miftari Vehbi , Hajdari Vjosa
Published: June 2021

Aim. Based on similar studies, this research work aims to investigate the perception of students and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of learning about the importance of soft skills for their education and employment since these skills are increasingly sought-after by potential employers.
Methods. The Kendall Tau b test and Mann Whitney U test have been applied to show the relationship between soft skills and job preparedness for students. This study investigates a selection of 100 students from a private HEI (UBT College) and 100 students from a public HEI (University “Haxhi Zeka”), both in Kosovo. A total of 200 valid responses were collected from July to September 2020. Goldsmith inventory for 15 soft skills has been distributed as a questionnaire has been distributed to the students of these universities.
Results and conclusion. The research results indicate that in soft skills development of the UBT College students is significantly higher than the soft skills developed of the University “Haxhi Zeka” students. The findings also show that most of the students believe that their actual soft skills were at a less than the desired level.
Practical application. This research implicates the Higher Education Institutions to consider the soft skills as an important tool for enhancing graduates’ employability. The results indicate the need to  reconsider the curriculum by embedding soft skills on it. The students’ perception on soft skills is a contribution not only for the universities considered in this research but also for all graduates in HEIs in Kosovo, since the curriculum does not change much among universities. According to Eurostat the unemployment youth rate in Kosovo is about 55.4% and for this reason the results will help the HEIs to rethink about their students’ future employment opportunities.
Originality. This is the only study done in Kosovo about graduates’ soft skills and employment and it provides information about a concerning problem in the country. This paper suggests initiatives to upgrade students’ soft skills and to improve their perspective on their future employment.

Authors: Burkšaitienė Nijolė , Šliogerienė Jolita
Published: June 2021

Aim. It has been established by research that the nature of students’ learning is closely related to their approach to learning and to the learning environment in which learning occurs. In higher education environments, students’ approaches to learning have been widely investigated across different fields of study, however, little known research has focused on students’ approaches to learning foreign languages. To contribute to knowledge in this field, the present research aims to establish undergraduate students’ approaches to learning English for Specific purposes (ESP) at a university in Lithuania.

Method. The research was conducted with the participation of 111 undergraduate students, majors in 11 different study programmes, who took a mandatory course in ESP. The data were collected from the structured questionnaires; to carry out the research, quantitative methodology was used.

Results.  The analysis of students’ engagement in the study activities, their willingness to go beyond the task and their ability to self-regulate their learning revealed that the study participants demonstrated both surface approach and deep approach to learning ESP.

Conclusion. The results indicate that to guide the students towards deep approach to learning ESP at the university, their engagement in study activities should be fostered.
Late-onset ADHD: does it exist?

Published: June 2021

According to current classification systems, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) cannot be diagnosed unless its symptoms have been present already in childhood. Recently, this view has begun to be challenged with the thesis that the disorder may have its onset later in life (adolescence or young adulthood). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) diagnostic criteria for ADHD are more liberal than those of the International Classification of Disease (ICD). Moreover, reports have begun to emerge demonstrating a different clinical picture in patients diagnosed with ADHD according to current guidelines and in a cohort with the onset in adulthood. The symptomatology of the disease in adults differs from that presented by children. Additionally, theories on the different etiopathogenesis of these entities have been advanced. These data have led to the proposal of distinguishing late-onset ADHD. There are also critical voices in the literature that question the possibility of developing ADHD symptoms in adulthood. Despite insufficient data and arguments to support the thesis of late-onset ADHD, there is a need for discussion and further exploration of the age at which ADHD may appear.
Venlafaxine as an analgesic in the treatment of chronic pain in patients with depression – scientific evidence and clinical cases
Authors:   Katedra i Klinika Psychiatryczna, Warszawski Uniwersytet Medyczny, Warszawa, Polska, Antosik-Wójcińska Anna
Published: June 2021

Depression is sometimes referred to as the state of “mental pain” as its symptoms generate a state of generalised suffering. Mental distress is very often accompanied by physical pain. The prevalence of somatic symptoms in the population of patients with depression varies significantly depending on the study population and ranges from 30 to 95%. The incidence and severity of pain are correlated with the aging process and they tend to increase with age. The most common pain symptoms in depression include headache, back and lower back pain, pain of joints and limbs, migraine headaches and abdominal pain. The pain may sometimes mask depression by coming to the fore in the clinical picture and making it difficult to establish an accurate diagnosis. The fact that antidepressants are effective in chronic pain syndromes, while not all antidepressants show the same analgesic efficacy, is the direct evidence for the common pathogenetic mechanisms of chronic pain and depression. Tricyclic antidepressants were the first antidepressants to be used in the treatment of pain symptoms in various disease states. Numerous studies have confirmed the analgesic efficacy of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, which are characterised by a much better tolerance and a more favourable safety profile compared to tricyclic antidepressants; however, their analgesic effect is clearly marked only at doses that, in addition to the effect on serotonergic transmission, also affect the noradrenergic transmission. The article summarises the scientific evidence for the purposefulness of the use of venlafaxine in the treatment of chronic pain, in particular pain syndromes associated with depression, and presents two clinical cases with a commentary.
Multiscale Retinex Application to Analyze Face Recognition
Authors: Supriyanto Supriyanto , Harika Maisevli , Ramadiani Maya Sri , Ramdania Diena Rauda
Published: June 2021

The main challenge that facial recognition introduces is the difficulty of uneven lighting or dark tendencies. The image is poorly lit, which makes it difficult for the system to perform facial recognition. This study aims to normalize the lighting in the image using the Multiscale Retinex method. This method is applied to a face recognition system based on Principal Component Analysis to determine whether this method effectively improves images with uneven lighting. The results showed that the Multiscale Retinex approach to face recognition's correctness was better, from 40% to 76%. Multiscale Retinex has the advantage of dark facial image types because it produces a brighter image output.

Published: June 2021

In higher educational institutions, graduation rates are one of the many aspects to assess the quality of the learning process. Al-Hidayah Islamic University in Bogor is one of the established private Islamic universities to create skilled human resources with moral values required by many companies nowadays. Having another institution in Bogor as a competitor with the same direction and objective is a challenge for Al-Hidayah Islamic University. Thus a solution is required to face the competition. One solution is to predict the student graduation timeliness of the students using data mining method with classification function. The implemented methodology in the data mining is Discovery Knowledge of Database (KDD), starting from selecting, preprocessing, transformation, data mining, and evaluation/ interpretation. There were two Algorithm models used in this paper, namely C4.5 and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The classification procedure consists of predictor variables and one of the target variables. Predictor variables are gender, Grade Point Average, marital status, and job status. Rapid Miner software was used to process the data. The final results of both Algorithms show an 81% precision rate and 80% accuracy level for the C4.5 Algorithm, while SVM has an 88% precision rate and 85% accuracy level.
Discovering Computer Science Research Topic Trends using Latent Dirichlet Allocation
Authors: Nastiti Kartika Rizqi , Hidayatullah Ahmad Fathan , Pratama Ahmad Rafie
Published: June 2021

Before conducting a research project, researchers must find the trends and state of the art in their research field. However, that is not necessarily an easy job for researchers, partly due to the lack of specific tools to filter the required information by time range. This study aims to provide a solution to that problem by performing a topic modeling approach to the scraped data from Google Scholar between 2010 and 2019. We utilized Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) combined with Term Frequency-Indexed Document Frequency (TF-IDF) to build topic models and employed the coherence score method to determine how many different topics there are for each yearâ€™s data. We also provided a visualization of the topic interpretation and word distribution for each topic as well as its relevance using word cloud and PyLDAvis. In the future, we expect to add more features to show the relevance and interconnections between each topic to make it even easier for researchers to use this tool in their research projects.
The Hybrid of Jaro-Winkler and Rabin-Karp Algorithm in Detecting Indonesian Text Similarity
Authors: Yulianto Muhamad Arief , Nurhasanah Nurhasanah
Published: June 2021

The String-matching technique is part of the similarity technique. This technique can detect the similarity level of the text. The Rabin-Karp is an algorithm of string-matching type. The Rabin-Karp is capable of multiple patterns searching but does not match a single pattern. The Jaro-Winkler Distance algorithm can find strings within approximate string matching. This algorithm is very suitable and gives the best results on the matching of two short strings. This study aims to overcome the shortcomings of the Rabin-Karp algorithm in the single pattern search process by combining the Jaro-Winkler and Rabin-Karp algorithm methods. The merging process started from pre-processing and forming the K-Gram data. Then, it was followed by the calculation of the hash value for each K-Gram by the Rabin-Karp algorithm. The process of finding the same hash score and calculating the percentage level of data similarity used the Jaro-Winkler algorithm. The test was done by comparing words, sentences, and journal abstracts that have been rearranged. The average percentage of the test results for the similarity level of words in the combination algorithm has increased. In contrast, the results of the percentage test for the level of similarity of sentences and journal abstracts have decreased. The experimental results showed that the combination of the Jaro-Winkler algorithm on the Rabin-Karp algorithm can improve the similarity of text accuracy.

Con el apoyo de modernos y renovadores estudios sobre la Real Casa y Patrimonio, se analizan las semejanzas y diferencias entre las visiones actuales y aquellas que conformó Galdós sobre una institución clave todavía en la vida política y social de la España del siglo XIX.
La administración real y la movilización de los recursos de la monarquía: la Junta de Coroneles (1635-1641)
Authors: Jiménez-Moreno Agustín
Published: June 2021

Desde el fin de la guerra de Mantua (1628-1631), y sobre todo tras la ruptura de las hostilidades con Francia (1635), las necesidades militares de la monarquía española crecieron hasta niveles nunca vistos. Como consecuencia, y ante la imposibilidad de satisfacerlas por los sistemas tradicionales de reclutamiento, la administración real volvió la vista hacia los particulares, quienes podían dar respuesta, o al menos paliarlas. Pese a que el reclutamiento de nuevos contingentes era competencia del Consejo de Guerra, Olivares optó por gestionarla mediante uno de sus métodos favoritos: la constitución de una junta compuesta por hombres de confianza. Con esa finalidad surgió una entidad administrativa conocida como Junta de Coroneles, que en los años finales de la década de los 30 jugó un activo papel a la hora de aprestar hombres, sobre todo para los teatros de operaciones europeos.
Santiago de Compostela: Aspects of a cult in Malta of the Knights of St John
Authors: Buttigieg Emanuel , Davies Franco
Published: June 2021

The cult of St James within the Order of St John was evident throughout its stay in Malta in the architectural fabric it left behind, particularly the fortified land-front of the city of Valletta, as well as in other notable buildings, namely the Auberge of Castile, León and Portugal, and its church of St James. While its architectural aspects have withstood the test of time, other social aspects of the cult of Santiago in Malta are evident through the religious art in the Conventual Church of the Order in Valletta, today St John’s co-cathedral, but also through religious rituals held on the island during the stay of the knights. This reflected a local cult which shows hints of being present also before the arrival of the Hospitaller Order to the Maltese shores.
Ricœur face la mort: L’attitude agnostique et ses ramifications dans l’œuvre posthume de Vivant jusqu’à la mort
Authors: Yamada Tomoaki
Published: June 2021

Dans le second document d’archive, « La mort », de Vivant jusqu’à la mort deux lignes de réflexion sur l’imaginaire de la survie sont particulièrement développées. L’une est approfondie le concept de détachement parfait, qui peut permettre de mener à son terme le « travail de deuil » sans céder à l’imaginaire des morts qu’exprime habituellement la survie. Ricœur rate cette voie jusqu’à la mise en exergue d’un transfert à autrui de l'amour de la vie. La transmission de la vie passe alors par la « trace écrite », laissée comme témoignage aux autres-les survivants- d’un ayant été. La seconde ligne est celle du détachement imparfait. Ricœur insiste alors sur la « mémoire de Dieu », à travers l’expression « Dieu se souvient de moi », énoncée au présent éternel du souci de Dieu. Une reformulation au futur - « Dieu se souviendra de moi » - introduirait le risque d’une forme d’hypocrisie par projection imaginaire, ou bien d’une inauthentique « consolation ». La « mémoire de Dieu » reste la schématisation du présent éternel du souci du divin. Elle justifie l’existence humaine par la grâce. Ces deux lignes pour penser l’imaginaire de la survie - les détachements parfait et imparfait seraient un exemple de la mise en pratique d’une attitude agnostique dans la philosophie de Ricœur. Pour les mettre en lumière, la présente recherche souhaite mettre en regard l’influence de Whitehead et de Process Theology de Charles Hartshorne dans les dernières pensées ricœriennes
DETERMINATION OF MEAT PRODUCTIVITY OF «BLAGOVARSKY» CROSS DUCKS
Authors: Terzeman D. , Karunskyi O.
Published: June 2021

Feeding is the main condition for high productivity of ducks. It provides the need for metabolizable energy and nutrients according to modern standards. Ducks have an increased need for arginine, histidine, tryptophan, glycine, threonine and valine, therefore much attention is paid to the amino acid composition of feed in normalizing feeding. It is also important to consider the level of digestibility of the proposed feed. The feed nutrients digestibility depends on various factors and therefore varies considerably.Optimal ratios of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, etc. in the diet contribute to a high level of digestibility. The level of fiber and protein significantly affects the digestibility of nutrients in the feed. Increasing the amount of fiber (especially rich in lignin) reduces the digestibility of fiber and other nutrients. Essential influence on the nutrients digestibility is caused by the available protein content in the feed and its ratio with carbohydrates and fats. In this regard, the protein ratio of feed is determined. The protein ratio shows how many parts of digested nitrogen-free nutrients account for each part of digested protein.In addition, the feed preparation for feeding has a positive effect on their digestibility (moisturizing, enriching, grinding, steaming and others). The nutrients digestibility is also affected by different levels of macro-, micronutrients and vitamins in the feed. Increasing the feed nutrients digestibility is an important factor in reducing their costs, the cost of livestock products and improving the economic efficiency of the industry. Young ducks are characterized by precocity and high growth rate. At the age of 7 weeks, the live weight of hybrid young ducks is 3.2 – 3.4 kg, and during this period the initial weight increases more than 60 times at a feed consumption per 1 kg gain of 2.8 - 3.0 kg and average daily gain 64 - 68 g.The positive effect of the use of the developed vitamin-mineral premix in the compound feed composition on the meat productivity of “Blagovarsky” cross ducks has been determined. It was determined that from the third week of growing the live weight of young ducks of the experimental group was higher of analogues of the control group for 3,2 %. Analysis the main indicators of young ducks productivity showed that the bird of the experimental group exceeded analogues in the following periods of growth: 0 - 7 days, 15 - 21 days, 29 - 35 days, 36 - 42 days, 43 - 49 days.Survival rate of young ducks was at a high level in the range of 97 – 99.5 % for the entire period of growing in both groups. Starting from the 4th week of growing, the survival rate decreased slightly in the control group and amounted to 99.1, which is 0,2 % less than in the experimental group. The increased concentration of premix in the compound feed for the young ducks of the experimental group help to improve their slaughter qualities in comparison with the control group.

Authors: Jo Hyeon-deok , Kim Choun-sub , Kim Maeng-kyu
Published: June 2021

PURPOSE:The present study aimed to investigate the effects of transdermal application of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) on muscle damage and recovery following eccentric exercise in young men.METHODS: Eleven college-aged men without any cardiovascular or orthopedic disorders underwent two sessions consisting of a control session (CS) and an experimental session (ES) in a random order with at least 2 weeks of wash-out between the sessions. The participants performed 30 maximal eccentric exercises involving their non-dominant elbow flexors in each session. Circumference, muscle soreness, range of motion, maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), and muscular echo intensity (EI) were measured to evaluate the changes in the level of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). All measurements were performed at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after exercise and also immediately before and after exercise.RESULTS:Transdermal application of MSM in ES attenuated muscle swelling and decreased MVIC after eccentric exercise when compared with CS. Muscle soreness and EI tended to increase less rapidly and decrease more rapidly in ES than in CS.CONCLUSIONS: Transdermal application of MSM may induce relatively positive effects on EIMD and recovery following eccentric exercise when compared with the treatment that has been widely used previously.

Published: June 2021

Resumo O presente artigo possui como objetivo apresentar a contribuição de Wendy Brown para uma crítica dos direitos a partir da inserção da autora em debates que se dão no contexto das disputas em torno do potencial emancipatório do discurso jurídico. Tais debates dizem respeito às posições que circundam e envolvem as concepções formuladas no âmbito das diversas correntes, pensadores e pensadoras que compõem o campo dos Critical Legal Studies. Dessa forma, parte-se da perspectiva de que é relevante denotar algumas dessas disputas teóricas para que se proponha uma retomada dos textos de Brown a partir do contexto atual. Mostra-se como tais abordagens não se encontram irremediavelmente datadas, contribuindo-se, desse modo, para uma sofisticação do diagnóstico do tempo presente da autora no que diz respeito à posição dos direitos no neoliberalismo contemporâneo.
Posições e segmentos de classes sociais na Região Metropolitana de Natal na década de 1990
Authors: Silva Marconi Gomes da
Published: June 2021

Resumo A década de 1990, considerada a segunda década perdida, apresentou baixa dinâmica produtiva e do mercado de trabalho no Brasil e na Região Metropolitana de Natal (RMN). No presente artigo, considera-se que o mercado de trabalho apresenta as classes sociais cada vez mais segmentadas. Seguindo essa perspectiva, este trabalho baseou-se em Santos (2002) para estudar a segmentação no mercado de trabalho como proxy das posições e segmentos de classes sociais na realidade estudada. A hipótese norteadora do trabalho é que a posse de ativos materiais assim como qualificação e posições de mando são cruciais para assumir melhores posições na estrutura de classes do ponto de vista da distribuição. A análise dos dados empíricos permite aumentar o grau de confiança na hipótese formulada.
SIXTY YEARS OF RAE: A JOURNEY OF CRITICISM, RESISTANCE AND REINVENTION
Authors: Bertero Carlos Osmar
Published: June 2021

RESUMO O artigo trata, de maneira reflexiva, do itinerário da revista ao longo dos seus 60 anos de existência, a partir da experiência do autor, que foi ligado à RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas ao longo dessas décadas. Abordamos seu início como periódico pioneiro de Administração de Empresas ou Negócios, divulgando conceitos, teorias e práticas de origem predominantemente americana, até os dias atuais, em que emerge como revista que deixou para trás a sua origem generalista e passou a enfatizar áreas como Organização e Estudos Organizacionais, Estratégia e Gestão de Recursos Humanos ou Pessoas. No início, um periódico identificado com uma escola de Administração, a FGV EAESP, passou a uma revista nacional, abrigando autores, consultores e editores associados de outras instituições para, atualmente, laborar para fixar-se como periódico internacional, sendo publicado em português e inglês e atendo-se a tópicos contemporâneos majoritariamente de uma vertente crítica. A crescente sofisticação metodológica da revista e os temas publicados colocam-nos muito distantes dos primeiros anos, em que era uma revista que poderíamos considerar provinciana. Não há dúvida de que avançamos. Parabéns e felizes 60 anos à RAE.

RESUMO No marco temporal de aniversário da RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas, o objetivo deste artigo, que pode ser interpretado como uma manifesta, é discutir o papel das revistas acadêmicas em Administração para a inclusão e a diversidade. Entendemos que nos manifestarmos sobre o papel das revistas em processos de reparação histórica de desigualdades é também sobre nos reconectar com a crítica ao conceito e à prática da diversidade presentes no campo da Administração, e é justamente por esse debate que iniciamos a construção do nosso argumento, logo após a introdução. Ancorando-nos em referenciais teóricos sistematizados a partir das práticas e dos conhecimentos dos movimentos sociais (interseccionalidade, transversalidade e decolonialidade), apresentamos nossa manifesta por uma agenda de transformações para as práticas sobre diversidade no campo.
Comparison of Object Detection and Classification Methods For Mobile Robots
Authors: ALPARSLAN Önder , ÇETİN Ömer
Published: June 2021

As one of today's popular research field, mobile robots, are widely used in entertainment, search and rescue, health, military, agriculture and many other fields with the advantages of technological developments. Object detection is one of the methods used for mobile robots to gather and report information about its environment during those tasks. With the ability to detect and classify objects, a robot can determine the type and number of objects around it and use this knowledge in its movement and path planning or reporting the objects with the desired features. Considering the dimensions of mobile robots and weight constraints of flying robots, the use of these algorithms is more limited. While the size and weight of mobile devices should be kept relatively small, successful object classification algorithms require processors with high computational power. In this study, to be able to use object detection information for mapping and path planning object detection and classification methods were examined, and for the usage in low weight and low energy consuming platforms through developer boards, detection algorithms were compared to each other.
TRANSVERSALITY: EVOLUTION OF THE TERM THROUGH THE PRISM OF CORPORA AND OTHER CONTEXTS
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Kononova Valentina A.
Published: June 2021

The problem of expanding research vocabulary in a particular area is related to the emergence and development of concepts and terms that receive precise explication for transmitting new knowledge through definitions. The paper attempts to trace the evolution of the term ‘transversality’ from the limited mathematical contexts of the 19th century, when the term was solely associated with spatial intersections, to its recent extension to other types of human activity; accordingly, the research focus is upon the changes in connotations. The paper shows how the lexical phenomenon has acquired its particular popularity and became frequently used in the educational space, including in the multi-layered market of educational services, where the last decade introduced the terms ‘transversal skills’ and ‘transversal competence’, both referring to qualitative characteristics of individual skills that are in demand in today’s knowledge-based society: leadership, confidence, time-management, problem-solving ability, flexibility, adaptability, strategic and innovative thinking, etc. To clarify the meaning of the term ‘transversal skills’ and for the subsequent interpretation of the data obtained, the author uses two relevant sources: firstly, these are the contexts and instruments of modern corpus linguistics (the Wikipedia Corpus, the 14 Billion Word iWeb Corpus); secondly, a number of relevant contexts taken from European educational documents and EU project reports. Taken together, these sources allow us to give a broad picture of the new terminological phenomenon in today’s educational environment. In this connection, the linguistic corpora are used both as a language resource and as a research instrument and method. The study of the term, its emergence and development leads us to a conclusion that the boundaries of the request for the new terminological phenomenon have expanded. The received data, on the one hand, help to develop a uniform understanding, i. e. adequate perception and use of the term ‘transversal skills’, for the concerned parties the field of modern education, educational policy and the labor market. On the other hand, the study reveals the need for further discussion on standardization in terminological lexicography, which would provide effective communication and conscious collaboration of educators with many parties interested worldwide.
VITAL CODE AS A WAY TO REALIZE FIGURATIVE SIGNS OF THE MACROCONCEPTS ‘ZEMLYA’ AND ‘EARTH / LAND’ IN RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH LINGUISTIC CULTURES

Published: June 2021

The paper describes figurative signs of the macroconcepts zemlya and earth / land from the aspect of the vital code of linguistic culture. The vital code is represented in metaphors of a living being. The purpose of the article is to define a set of vital signs of the macroconcepts zemlya and earth / land. The objectives of the study are as follows: 1. to provide a brief overview of the existing studies concerning the vital code; 2. to identify and compare the vital signs of zemlya and earth / land macroconcepts in the collected language material. The subject of the study is language constructions including the words zemlya and earth / land and containing metaphors of a living being. The object of the study is the vital code of Russian and English linguistic cultures. As to the current scientific relevance of the study, the means of expressing the macroconcepts zemlya and earth / land presented in the compared linguistic cultures are analyzed in terms of two principles – anthropomorphism and vitality. The study is novel in that the macroconcepts zemlya and earth / land are first considered within codes of linguistic culture. The main methods of research are descriptive, conceptual, comparative, interpretative. The study material was selected from the Russian National Corpus (www.ruscorpora.ru) and Oxford Text Archive (https://ota.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/repository/xmlui/). As the study showed, the identified vital signs can be grouped into four blocks: 1. Physiological signs (‘voicelessness’, ‘disease’, ‘age’, ‘voice’, ‘movement’, ‘breathing’, ‘shaking’, ‘health’, ‘beauty’, ‘feeding’, ‘drinking’, ‘strength’, ‘weakness’, ‘sleep’). 2. Ontological signs (‘birth,’ ‘life’, ‘death’). 3. Perceptual signs (‘hearing’, ‘vision’, ‘touch’). 4. Somatic signs (‘legs’, ‘hands’, ‘lips’, ‘eyebrows’, ‘head’, ‘lap’, ‘breast’, ‘face’, ‘body’, ‘womb’, ‘blood’, ‘bowels’). Codes of linguistic culture are universal: they are presented in the descriptions of different fragments of the world. The vital signs represented in zemlya and earth / land concept structures are almost identical. However, the specific quantity of metaphors that implement them is different.
GENRE CHARACTERISTICS OF UNESCO STATEMENTS OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE OF WORLD HERITAGE SITES IN THE LINGUOSTYLISTIC ASPECT
Authors:   Perm State University, Shutemova Natalia V.
Published: June 2021

The paper considers a Statement of Outstanding Universal Value of World Heritage Sites, which is one of the most important of UNESCO documents. The research is aimed at studying its genre characteristics both in terms of form and content. They are illustrated in the paper through the example of the Statement of Outstanding Universal Value of the Galapagos Islands, being one of the major sites on the UNESCO list. Based on discourse analysis of the text, the following interrelated characteristics of its genre have been distinguished: typical content, rigid composition, informativeness, intertextuality, accuracy, laconicism, clarity, persuasiveness, argumentativeness, axiology, expressiveness, imagery, rhetoricalness. The unity of these features distinguishes this genre from others and is determined by extralinguistic factors: the Statement of Outstanding Universal Value is aimed at describing and proving the unique value of the archipelago. The research shows that the genre is characterized by typical content which is developed coherently in accordance with the standard composition of the format. It contains factual, conceptual, and implicit information. To prove the outstanding universal value of the site, both factual and axiological arguments are used. The verbal representation of these features is characterized, on the one hand, by lingual units used in accordance with literary norms and direct meaning, as well as by precision lexicon. On the other hand, it is characterized by metaphors and evaluative lexicon. The key metaphor representing the essence of the archipelago in the document is that of ‘a unique living museum and showcase of evolution’. It is developed through the document in a wide range of contextual evaluative synonyms, epithets, rows of homogeneous phytonyms and zoonyms depicting the variety and special character of the flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands and the Galapagos Marine Reserve, their unique seismic, volcanic, biological, ecological, geological, evolutionary processes. The intertextuality of the document means its connection with a wide range of the UN documents, as well as fiction, mass media, science.
