Published: December 2018

Uma das características do meado do século XX foi o intenso processo de migração do meio rural para as cidades tornando-as cada vez maiores e sem controle do estado. O Brasil e a Amazônia têm sofrido esse processo de forma intensa. Na região do Médio Solimões no Estado do Amazonas, em específico na cidade de Tefé, parte expressiva da população encontra-se assentada nas margens dos canais de drenagem do município. Isso conduz à impactos socioambientais nos mais diversos possíveis. Essa pesquisa objetivou compreender os principais impactos socioambientais na micro bacia hidrográfica do Igarapé Xidarini, decorrentes do uso da mesma. Para isso, além de um levantamento bibliográfico, foram feitos trabalhos de campo com auxílio de questionários semiestruturados, a fim de conhecer a realidade dos moradores da bacia hidrográfica.

Authors: Oliveira Reumally Nunes de , Saraiva Jaci Maria Bilhalva
Published: December 2018

A precipitação pluviométrica é considerada uma variável discreta, pois pode ocorrer em uma área em pequeno ou grande volume, e não ocorrer nas vizinhanças. O número de observações de variáveis atmosféricas ainda é muito baixo na região amazônica, com grandes vazios de informações.  O presente resumo tem por objetivo apresentar uma análise preliminar do principal sistema gerador de precipitação na Região Norte do Brasil denominado Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT). No presente trabalho serão utilizados os dados de precipitação estimada utilizando os dados obtidos com o satélite Tropical Rainfall Mensuring Mission (TRMM), em uma resolução espacial de aproximadamente 27 km. Os dados estimados apresentam uma boa correlação com a variabilidade anual da ZCIT e chuva na região. A espacialização dos dados conseguiu reproduzir a assinatura da variabilidade mensal e anual da chuva na Região Central do Amazonas.
"MAGNIFICENT EDIFICE OF THE HISTORY OF SLAVIC LITERATURES": Y. BOYKO-BLOKHIN'S "PROJECT"
Authors: Teterina Olga
Published: December 2018

The article deals with Y. Boyko-Blokhin's approach to the problem of comparative analysis of Slavic literatures in the context of contemporary comparative study (U. Weisstein, R. Wellek, D. Ďurišin, A. Dima, D. Nalivayko, D. Chizhevsky). The careful attention of the scholar to "peculiarities" of national development of literatures as a subject of the research is emphasized. Specifically, the interpretation by Y. Boyko-Blokhin of such concepts as "interaction" (not only as a rapprochement, but also as a mutual repulsion) and "influence" (primarily as a creative transformation of foreign artistic and aesthetic experience, and hence, as an impetus, impulse for own original creation) is thought through.
The opinion of the scholar as to characteristic aspects of the comparative study of East Slavic literatures is analyzed and the emphasis is given to the researcher's close attention to the question of national features of each of these literatures. The efficiency and potential of Y. Boyko-Blokhin's concept of comparative study of East Slavic literatures, aimed at understanding of their place in Common Slavic and West European literary space are substantiated. The importance of the scholar's thoughts about the need for "reformatting" ("reorienting") of the Slavic paradigm for the further development of this science (in view of unjustified "domination" of Russian literature over Ukrainian and Byelorussian literatures) is underlined.
The consideration is given to Y. Boyko-Blokhin's approach ("project") to compilation of the history of Slavic literatures (vector of which is oriented from the study of peculiarities of literary works towards comprehension of the style as a unifying principle), with an emphasis on comparison of national development trends. The recognition in this context of the progress of other art forms is regarded as fully compliant with the special attention paid by contemporary comparative studies to the problem of literature in the art system (U. Weisstein, D. Chizhevsky, D. Nalivayko)
The great importance for the continuous progress of Ukrainian comparative literature of the views of Y. Boyko-Blokhin, who developed traditions of national comparative studies and at the same time used the latest West European methodology, given the impossibility of its full-fledged advance during the Soviet period, is accentuated. The relevance of the scholar's thoughts and ideas for comparative world literature even nowadays is demonstrated.

Published: December 2018

The aim of our research was basis of the analysis and research of the current state and trends of emergence and development of crisis situations syndromes to identify their general and specific features inherent in specific crisis situations syndromes at the place where they occurred, factors that influenced their formation and the manifestations they characterized by.

Materials and methods - analysis and systematization of data on the complex impact of stress factors and other manifestations of crisis situations on subjects who find themselves in a zone of military conflict / man-made or natural disaster; formulation of new concepts, strategies and tactics for work in crisis situations.

Results. Common and specific features of the known syndromes of wars are found. It is proved that, by common characteristics, all syndromes of wars can be combined into a single basic category - crisis situations syndrome, which is divided by specific features into specific crisis situations syndromes at the place where they occurred, under what factors they were formed and the manifestations they characterize. A classification of post-traumatic stress disorders as a component of crisis situations syndromes by the mechanisms of their formation and a model of their formation are provided. Definitions are formulated; crisis syndrome and hybrid war syndrome are described. A working table has been developed for analysts for the differential diagnostic of “Crisis Situation Syndromes”.

Conclusions. The technology of objective diagnostic, treatment and prevention of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and hybrid war syndrome is proposed, which includes the identification of possible etiological factors affecting the formation of crisis states syndromes with differentiation of impact factors, the actual identification with the formation of a differentiated approach to treatment, and prevention development of "coaching" techniques. The technology is based on a comprehensive psychological and ophthalmologic examination. It has been established that the “hybrid war syndrome” is formed both among combatants and non-combatants, for the first time in it the cognitive defeat, both of individual subjects and social groups is fully manifested. In addition, for the first time, in relation to other crisis syndromes, there are social group symptoms, the formation of migratory symptoms, the formation of specific PTSDs, etc.
A review on household energy consumption behavior: how about migrated consumers?
Authors: Acuner Ebru , Özgür Kayalica M.
Published: December 2018

This paper reviews the literature on energy consumption behavior for both domestic and migrated/displaced population and aims to recommend crucial policy measures for creating awareness on the energy efficiency. Consumers’ adoption to the efficient usage of energy varies depending on demographic, behavioral and situational dynamics in their households and societies. The regional or national strategies to implement efficient technologies for the consumer engagement are crucial to change their behaviors. Migrants affect the energy usage patterns in the host country due to their different usage behaviors. Any type of measures for migrated population should include available, acceptable, accessible and affordable energy efficiency applications to engage them with the domestic population.
Cosmopolitismo como fundamento e utopia nos movimentos pela internacionalização do currículo.
Authors: Thiesen Juares Silva
Published: December 2018

No artigo, exploramos a problemática da internacionalização do currículo com atenção especial à ideia de cosmopolitismo, um conceito que vem, com frequência, compondo o conjunto de argumentos de pesquisadores na explicitação das dinâmicas que constituem este movimento global que envolve a educação. Analisamos, particularmente, como autores que discutem a referida problemática, situam e compreendem o cosmopolitismo nesse projeto educativo-político em termos de enfoque teórico e, nesse âmbito, destacamos como essas distintas abordagens epistêmicas e políticas se movem nos contextos do pensamento pedagógico e curricular contemporâneos. Finalmente evidenciamos os principais enfoques ou abordagens atribuídos ao conceito de cosmopolitismo no âmbito da problemática da internacionalização do currículo - expressão de um tema pouco consensual. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo de natureza teórica que se utiliza de outras categorias conceituais para explorar um objeto específico de conhecimento - neste caso o de cosmopolitismo.

Authors: Rossato Solange Pereira Marques
Published: December 2018

A queixa escolar, relacionada aos problemas de comportamento apresentados pelas crianças e adolescentes, é frequentemente associada a um problema de saúde, em uma individualização dos problemas. A partir dessa constatação, este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar artigos que versavam sobre problemas de comportamento, publicados em periódicos científicos, entre os anos de 1990 e 2014, identificando as concepções circunscritas nestes periódicos. Foram realizadas pesquisas em bancos de dados e indexadores, nacionais e internacionais, sobre o tema em questão, selecionando os artigos referentes à área da Psicologia e Educação, resultando em um total de 47 textos. A análise e discussão se fundamentaram na Psicologia Histórico-Cultural. Os resultados apontam que em 72,4% dos artigos compreende-se os problemas de comportamento centrado no indivíduo, desvinculando-o da totalidade que envolve o processo de escolarização, da sociedade em que é produzido, do modo de produção que impera, realizando, assim, uma análise reducionista e limitada do fenômeno.

Authors: Youssef Ahmed F.A. , Issa Yousry M. , Nabil Kareem M.
Published: December 2018

Background:

Simeprevir is one of the recently discovered drugs for treating hepatitis C
which is one of the major diseases across the globe.

Objective:

The present study involves the development of a new and unique High-Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) method using fluorescence detection for the determination of simeprevir
(SIM) in human plasma.

Methods:

Two methods of extractions were tested, protein precipitation using acetonitrile and liquidliquid
extraction. A 25 mM dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate (pH 7.0)/ACN (50/50; v/v), was
used as mobile phase and C18 reversed phase column as the stationary phase. The chromatographic
conditions were optimized and the concentration of simeprevir was determined by using the fluorescence
detector. Cyclobenzaprine was used as an internal standard.

Results:

Recovery of the assay method based on protein precipitation was up to 100%. Intra-day and
inter-day accuracies range from 92.30 to 107.80%, with Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) range
1.65-8.02%. The present method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study where SIM
was administered as a single dose of 150 mg SIM/capsule (Olysio®) to healthy individuals.

Conclusion:

This method exhibits high sensitivity with a low limit of quantification 10 ng mL-1,
good selectivity using fluorescence detection, wide linear application range 10-3000 ng mL-1, good
recovery and highly precise and validation results. The developed method can be applied in routine
analysis for real samples.

Published: December 2018

:

Recently the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) technology has appeared as a subcategory
of wireless sensor network (WSN) to improve the quality of life. For such medical system, the
improving of reliability becomes very critical research issue because the patient requires continuous
monitoring via network. On the other hand, a special attention must be given to the energy consumption
because the WBAN nodes must be able to operate for long duration without being recharged or
replaced. In this Paper, we have carried out survey of various existing mechanisms, recent techniques
and protocols used for reliable communication and energy efficiency under low delay constraints in
remote patient monitoring system. This survey depicts that the existing solutions can be further modified
to devise more reliable solutions.

Authors: Seoane Francisco Jesús Ferreiro , Campo Villares Manuel Octavio Del
Published: December 2018

Background:

The objective of this article is to analyse if there are significant relationships between the most valuable companies operating in Spain regarding professional performance, according to nationality and location within their Autonomous Communities or any superior aggrupation. To do that, a sample of 100 companies has been selected.

Methods:

The methodology followed is based on the selection of the 100 highestvalued companies from the point of view of Human Resources’ policy for the period 2013-2016 and through the measurement of six factors: Talent Management, Retribution, Work environment, CSR, Training and Employees’ perception, and classified by nationality and location. The study was based on 12 hypotheses, using the Unifactorial Variance’s Analysis, Pearson correlations and regressions. One limitation could be the fact that this study refers to a particular period, focusing on Spain and the variables mentioned, based on questionnaires. The added value of this work lies on the newness as it has a quantitative character, and on the fact that most of the hypotheses do not comply.

Results and Conclusion:

This allows to deny certain beliefs that affirm that European and American companies operating in Spain are more attractive than the Spanish or the Mediterranean ones.

O PRINCÍPIO DA PROPORCIONALIDADE À LUZ DA TEORIA DOS LIMITES DOS LIMITES: CRITÉRIOS DE ANÁLISE DE RESTRIÇÕES A DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS
Authors: Duque Marcelo Schenk , Nascimento Isabela Moreira Antunes do
Published: December 2018

Técnicas de direito comparado vêm sendo cada vez mais utilizadas pelos tribunais brasileiros, na solução de conflitos que envolvem normas de direitos fundamentais. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar o princípio da proporcionalidade à luz da Teoria dos Limites dos Limites, técnica desenvolvida no curso da doutrina e jurisprudência alemãs, como critério para a análise das restrições a direitos fundamentais. O foco da análise é a contextualização da estrutura dos direitos fundamentais enquanto normas principiológicas, a partir dos conflitos delas decorrentes. A investigação parte do pressuposto de que a partir da estrutura vaga dos direitos fundamentais, conflitos costumam ocorrer com maior frequência, em relação às normas de conteúdo mais concreto. Esse é o motivo pelo qual a busca por critérios racionais de solução desses conflitos é uma meta necessária à interpretação constitucional. A análise justifica-se pela importância crescente que a interpretação do âmbito de proteção dos direitos fundamentais adquire no cenário da cultura jurídica contemporânea. O estudo adota o método de pesquisa dedutivo combinado com técnica de revisão bibliográfica e jurisprudencial.
ATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR THE OPTIMISATION OF HIERARCHICAL MULTI-LEVEL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Authors: Minaeva Yu. V.
Published: December 2018

Objectives The aim of the study is to develop a mathematical model for the complex solution of various problems in designing and reconstructing the technological system of a production workshop of a machine-building enterprise.

Methods Complex system theory and an aggregative decomposition approach are used as the methodological basis for modelling complex hierarchical productions, making it possible to represent a complex system in the form of a set of interconnected subsystems.

Results A mathematical model designed for a complex solution of problems associated with the formation of an optimal production programme and selection ofequipment was developed. Operative parameters for processing machines according to a single optimisation criterion for the workshop were established. Distinctive features of the optimisation model proposed in the article are the possibility of its application both for design and for the reconstruction of a technological system, as well as the possibility of simple scaling to the required level (i.e. the workshop as a whole or a separate section).

Conclusion The article presents a complex mathematical model for optimising the technological system based on a single optimisation criterion for the workshop, combining the solution of the main tasks of design and reconstruction of the workshop. The use of a single integral optimisation criterion for several problems allows the strong interrelationships between individual tasks to be taken into account. The model is based on the principle of arranging a model from a set of typical elements, easing the construction of models for any sub-task combinations, as well as their respective options. It is possible to use the model’s multi-level unification and scalability to increase modelling efficiency and thus optimise complex multinomenclature productions.
CRACK RESISTANCE AND DURABILITY OF PRESTRESSED WALL PANELS CONSTRUCTED FROM CELLULAR CONCRETE
Authors: Bataev D. K.-S. , Gaziev M. A. , Mazhiev H. N. , Mailyan D. R.
Published: December 2018

ObjectivesThe aim of the studyis to develop ways to increase the crack resistance and durability of prestressed wall panels made of cellular concrete.

MethodA complex study was carried out at the stage of factory manufacturing of two-module, aerated concrete wall panels with prestressed rods of class A-III reinforcing steel, 10 mm in diameter, located in the middle of the panel in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

ResultsIt was found that the total stress losses in straining rods prior to casting of the aerated concrete mix, connected with stress relaxation in the reinforce and with deformations of the headings of the straining rods in the gripping jaws, the steel mould deformations, as well as the losses after the panel exit from the autoclave during the transfer of force to the concrete, are 15-20% of the initial level. At the same time, depending on the dimensions of the straining rods, the length of the strain transfer zone was in the range of 150 to 250 mm. A study of the effect of pre-compression on the closure of possible technological cracks in concrete test panels showed that, due to biaxial compression of concrete, new cracks do not appear when they work on bending and stretching (during the decking and transportation). Moreover, initial cracks that sometimes can appear during the autoclave processing become closed.

ConclusionComparative tests of prestressed and typical panels for short-term load in accordance with GOST 8829-94 requirements indicate a significant increase in their rigidity and crack resistance, as well as the shear strength of their bridge part. The design of straining reinforcing rods with the end transverse anchor in the form of a horseshoe, together with attached flat welded frameworks made of Vr-I wire with a diameter of 5 mm, which are installed along the contour of the window openings of the test panels, ensure its reliable adhesion to cellular concrete and effective anchoring in the panel's body until the end of its useful life. Biaxial prestressed reinforcement by single rods in combination with conventional frame reinforcement opens up possibilities for the production of external wall panels from non-autoclaved cellular concrete with ordinary heat treatment, instead of ceramsite concrete panels.
ETHOD FOR MANAGING THE STRUCTURAL-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FOAM CONCRETE MIXTURES
Authors: Bogatina A. Yu. , Morgun V. N. , Morgun L. V.
Published: December 2018

Objectives At present, the urgency of scientific research aimed at reducing the material consumption of building structures is growing. Since foam concrete proved to be an effective material for wall structures, the aim of the present work was to develop scientific ideas about features of their macrostructural formation at the “viscous to solid” phase transition.

Methods The evaluation of plastic strength was carried out according to the patent for invention No. 2316750 (“Method for determining the plastic strength of foam concrete mix” registered in the State Register of Inventions of the Russian Federation on February 10, 2008). Synthetic PO-3NP (TU 38-00-058079999-20-93) and "Arecom-4" galipot glue analogue (TU 31-10) were used as foam generation agents. Control over the kinetics of the plastic strength of the test mixtures of equal density was carried out in five-litre vessels at an interval of 15 minutes for three hours.

Results The paper considers the most important features of mass transfer, which control the formation of defectiveness for interporal partitions in foam concrete. From the analysis of theoretical and experimental data, it follows that the ratio between water and surfactant consumption is an important tool for managing the quality of foam concrete mixes. Definingthe optimal relationship between water consumption and the amount of foaming agent allows the maximum amount of surfactants to be located at the gas-liquid interface ensuring minimal defect in the structure of the interporal partitions in the cured concrete.

Conclusion The theoretical and experimental studies carried out make it possible to consider the relationship between the consumption of water and surfactant as an important tool for controlling the structural and mechanical properties in foam concrete mixes.

Altogether, 30 germplasm of Yam bean including two released varieties viz., Rajendra Misrikand-1(RM-1) and Rajendra Misrikand-2 (RM-2) were analyzed for genetic divergence among twelve studied characters. Analysis of variance
revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the twelve characters under study. The (PCV) was greater than genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) for all the characters and high magnitude of PCV and GCV were observed for
traits like tuber weight followed by tuber yield indicating that these traits could be used for tuber yield improvement but wide difference between GCV and PCV were recorded for most of the traits except for the tuber yield and tuber weight. All the
thirty genotypes were grouped into 6 clusters using D2 statistics. Highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster I and III (107.53) followed by cluster III and VI (97.61) and cluster I and II (78.54) on the basis of their genetic
distances. Tuber yield followed by tuber weight and seed yield were having maximum contribution towards total divergence.

METHODS

Completeness of patient records was assessed using comparative review of validated cases of alveolar osteitis treated between August 2011 and May 2017 in a student clinic at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, New York, USA. Based on a literature review, population-based prevalence of nine most frequently mentioned symptoms, signs, and treatment procedures of alveolar osteitis was identified. Completeness of alveolar osteitis records was assessed by comparison of population-based prevalence and frequency of corresponding items in the student documentation. To obtain all alveolar osteitis cases, we ran a query on the electronic dental record, which included all cases with diagnostic code Z1820 or any variation of the phrases “dry socket” and “alveolar osteitis” in the notes. The resulting records were manually reviewed to definitively confirm alveolar osteitis and to extract all index items.

RESULTS

Overall, 296 definitive cases of alveolar osteitis were identified. Only 22% (64/296) of cases contained a diagnostic code. Comparison of the frequency of the nine index categories in the validated alveolar osteitis cases between the student clinic and the population showed the following results: severe pain: 94% (279/296) vs 100% (430/430); bare bone/missing blood clot: 27% (80/296) vs 74% (35/47) to 100% (329/329); malodor: 7% (22/296) vs 33%-50% (18/54); radiating pain to the ear: 8% (24/296) vs 56% (30/54); lymphadenopathy: 1% (3/296) vs 9% (5/54); inflammation: 14% (42/296) vs 50% (27/54); debris: 12% (36/296) vs 87% (47/54); alveolar osteitis site noted: 96% (283/296) vs 100% (430/430; accepted documentation requirement); and anesthesia during debridement: 77% (20/24) vs 100% (430/430; standard of anesthetization prior to debridement).

CONCLUSIONS

There was a significant discrepancy between the index category frequency in alveolar osteitis cases documented by dental students and in the population (reported in peer-reviewed literature). More attention to clinical documentation skills is warranted in dental student training.

BACKGROUND

Patient privacy is a ubiquitous problem around the world. Many existing studies have demonstrated the potential privacy risks associated with sharing of biomedical data. Owing to the increasing need for data sharing and analysis, health care data privacy is drawing more attention. However, to better protect biomedical data privacy, it is essential to assess the privacy risk in the first place.

OBJECTIVE

In China, there is no clear regulation for health systems to deidentify data. It is also not known whether a mechanism such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) safe harbor policy will achieve sufficient protection. This study aimed to conduct a pilot study using patient data from Chinese hospitals to understand and quantify the privacy risks of Chinese patients.

METHODS

We used g-distinct analysis to evaluate the reidentification risks with regard to the HIPAA safe harbor approach when applied to Chinese patients’ data. More specifically, we estimated the risks based on the HIPAA safe harbor and limited dataset policies by assuming an attacker has background knowledge of the patient from the public domain.

RESULTS

The experiments were conducted on 0.83 million patients (with data field of date of birth, gender, and surrogate ZIP codes generated based on home address) across 33 provincial-level administrative divisions in China. Under the Limited Dataset policy, 19.58% (163,262/833,235) of the population could be uniquely identifiable under the g-distinct metric (ie, 1-distinct). In contrast, the Safe Harbor policy is able to significantly reduce privacy risk, where only 0.072% (601/833,235) of individuals are uniquely identifiable, and the majority of the population is 3000 indistinguishable (ie the population is expected to share common attributes with 3000 or less people).

CONCLUSIONS

Through the experiments based on real-world patient data, this work illustrates that the results of g-distinct analysis about Chinese patient privacy risk are similar to those from a previous US study, in which data from different organizations/regions might be vulnerable to different reidentification risks under different policies. This work provides reference to Chinese health care entities for estimating patients’ privacy risk during data sharing, which laid the foundation of privacy risk study about Chinese patients’ data in the future.
Analysis of the Regionality of the Number of Tweets Related to the 2011 Fukushima Nuclear Power Station Disaster: Content Analysis (Preprint)

BACKGROUND

The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, triggered a huge tsunami, causing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Radioactive substances were carried in all directions, along with the risks of radioactive contamination. Mass media companies, such as television stations and news websites, extensively reported on radiological information related to the disaster. Upon digesting the available radiological information, many citizens turned to social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, to express their opinions and feelings. Thus, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster also changed the social media landscape in Japan. However, few studies have explored how the people in Japan who received information on radiation propagated the information.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to reveal how the number of tweets by citizens containing radiological information changed regionally on Twitter.

METHODS

The research used about 19 million tweets that included the terms “radiation,” “radioactivity,” and “radioactive substance” posted for 1 year after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Nearly 45,000 tweets were extracted based on their inclusion of geographic information (latitude and longitude). The number of monthly tweets in 4 districts (Fukushima Prefecture, prefectures around Fukushima Prefecture, within the Tokyo Electric Power Company area, and others) were analyzed.

RESULTS

The number of tweets containing the keywords per 100,000 people at the time of the casualty outbreak was 7.05 per month in Fukushima Prefecture, 2.07 per month in prefectures around Fukushima Prefecture, 5.23 per month in the area within Tokyo Electric Power Company, and 1.35 per month in others. The number of tweets per 100,000 people more than doubled in Fukushima Prefecture 2 months after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, whereas the number decreased to around 0.7~0.8 tweets in other districts.

CONCLUSIONS

The number of tweets per 100,000 people became half of that on March 2011 3 or 4 months after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant disaster in 3 districts except district 1 (Fukushima Prefecture); the number became a half in Fukushima Prefecture half a year later.

Published: December 2018

The source of microfinance is important and at the centre of every enterprise survival, profitability and growth that can trigger achievement of the expected roles and objectives. The main thrust of this study, therefore, is to understand the determinants of the choice of microfinance sources and level of support from funds providers. The study employed multi-stage sampling technique in identifying clusters from three cities (Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi) of the South East, Nigeria and generated relevant data through instruments such as questionnaire, personal interviews and Focused Group Discussions (FGDs). Using logit regression, the study found that interest rate, repayment period, amount or volume of capital and proximity to enterprises as the major determinants of the choice of microfinance source used by MSEs in South East, Nigeria. The study concluded that microfinance providers should be located closer to MSEs’ location for quicker response to their financing needs to the extent of taking advantage of social capital existing within the clusters as a possible cushion for the physical collaterals and documentations often requested for loan approvals. The study recommends that microfinance policy framework and interventions should encourage providers to locate closer to the enterprise clusters with the appropriate regulatory guarantee for operators.
