Kuršmidi-Marešalci
Authors: Džaja Petar , Sinković Sonja , Palić Magdalena , Mihalj Josip , Severin Krešimir
Published: December 2020

Njemačka riječ kurschmied (kur-liječenje, schmied-kovač) adekvatna je romanskoj riječi mareskalk -marh (konj) i gotske riječi skalk (sluga). Posebna vrsta kuršmida bili su vojni kuršmidi. Njihova djelatnost zamire početkom 19. stoljeća, a vojnih kuršmida u drugoj polovici 19. stoljeća, a u Austrougarskoj 20.-tih godina 20. stoljeća. Prvi pisani trag o kuršmidu kod nas potječe od Mladena II. Bribirskog iz 1314. g. kada je na njegovu dvoru privremeno boravio mareskalk Nolphio. Veterinari su se pobunili protiv njihove djelatnosti, jer su mislili da ne mogu na osnovu svoje naobrazbe liječiti životinje, a što će na koncu biti i potvrđeno. Uz položen tečaj mogli su liječiti konje i pregledavati meso ako su za to bili osposobljeni. Iako neki autori navode da su kuršmidi i marešalci isto, drugi navode da su kuršmidi bili njihovi podčinjeni zbog čega u radu pišem odvojeno o navedenim nazivima. Imajući u vidu predmete koje su slušali i polagali, svakako možemo navesti da su marešalci dali znatan doprinos u liječenju domaćih životinja, to jest konja.
The Threshold of Abstraction in Beginning Design Pedagogy
Authors: Temple Stephen
Published: December 2020

By immediately being asked to work abstractly, beginning design students are investigating architecture through a pedagogy taken-for-granted by its instructors. To abstract something is to draw it out of the concrete, and unless a student is looking for this displacement, they will become disconcerted, struggle, and become lost to the design process. Abstract operations of design, when presented out of step with student self-development, can mislead and distort experience. This essay defines a student’s encounter with abstraction as a threshold concept within the transformative journey of design student self-development. Writings about abstraction in artistic production by Sigfried Gidieon and Rudolph Arnheim define abstraction and provide a basis for critique of abstraction as a threshold concept in beginning design pedagogy. Challenges caused by abstraction for both pedagogy and beginning design students are investigated. Arnhem’s definition of abstraction as relations between part and whole implies a pedagogical approach for learning design that positions encounters with abstraction as a transformative threshold, suggesting that a gradual introduction of abstraction can build connections through embodied experience rather than disassociations. A series of architectural design exercises will be demonstrated that are structured, as result of this study, to gradually introduce abstract operations in design through a progressively transforming sequence over the first six weeks of beginning design studio. Delivered as analogous to architecture, each successive exercise initiates an abstract design operation as an individual design choice, enabling students to learn to see part in terms of whole, toward a working, conceptual understanding of abstraction in design.

Published: December 2020

In the India, more than 30 per 1000 live births of infants die each year before, during, or after birth as do many children with life- limiting conditions. In most countries in the developed world including the United States, the vast majority of infants, children and teenagers at end of life do not have access to multidisciplinary pediatric palliative care services in their community or at a children’shospital.

Pediatric palliative care is for children and teenagers suffering from life- threatening or life-limiting conditions in which survival into adulthood is or may be jeopardized if curative treatments  fail. As a result, pediatric palliative care may last over many years.

Published: December 2020

Background: Obesity is a global epidemic. Obesity is associated with a number of dermatoses, including acanthosis nigricans, skin tag, keratosis pilaris, hyperandrogenism and hirsutism, striae distensae, and adiposis dolorosa. Objective: To elucidate the various skin changes in obesity and to determine if it is considered as an obesity marker. Methodology: 100 patients, aged 18 years or above satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were drawn for a period of 18 months. Results: Out of 100 patients 54% were female, in their third and fourth decade. By occupation most of the females were housewives (40%) and the majority of males were farmers (14%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was the most common systemic illness (24%). Pseudoacanthosis nigricans was the most prevalent skin change. 51% of patients had skin tags. 48% had striae distensae as a skin change. 10.86% male and 14.81% female patients had stasis dermatitis, 6% had leg venulectasias and 2% had leg ulcer. 26% had plantar hyperkeratosis. 41% of our patients had one or other types of fungal infections. Bacterial infections were detected in 15% cases, folliculitis being the commonest. Conclusion: Obesity is strongly related to several skin alterations that could be considered as markers of excessive weight. The dermatoses that showed a statistically significant relationship with obesity were Pseudo acanthosis nigricans, Skin tag, Striae, Plantar hyperkeratosis and Fungal infections. Prevention of obesity is important to prevent these dermatoses and dermatologists must work with primary care physicians and patients to reduce the harmful effects of obesity on the skin.

MENTAL COHESION AS A FACTOR OF POLITICAL CULTURE
Authors: Pecherskaya Nadezhda
Published: December 2020

Discussions of the humankind future problems touch upon the aspect of political culture. The involvement of the socio-psychological category of cohesion will make it possible to specify regulatory mechanisms in the format of a human relations model. Interdisciplinary complexity occurs with the involvement of the concepts of worldview transformation, planetary identity and people-globalizers. The language of the topic meets global challenges, demonstrating solidarity as a social-psychological indicator of group dynamics scenario of response to situations associated with risks to health and life. Interdisciplinarity substantively refracts the concept of cohesion into the plane of dynamics of worldview transformations. Political psychology sets the vector of its operationality within the basic scheme of subject-setting – action-object. Mental cohesion leads to a global dimension of planetary identity.

THE NOOSPHERE IS A CO-EVOLUTION OF MAN WITH NATURE AND SOCIETY
Authors: Sholokhov Vitaliy
Published: December 2020

“We live in the Anthropocene, a geologic epoch, when human activity becomes the determining factor for the planet” [1].

Humanity is global species, an integral part of The Earth's ecosystem. [2]/ “Common humanity becomes a powerful geological force. And here for its thought and work comes the question of rebuilding the biosphere in the interests of free-thinking common humanity. This state of the biosphere, which we are approaching without noticing is the “noosphere” [3].

In 1977 we built and analyzed a model of interaction between man and nature.Its results tell us about the conditions of “sustainable development” (in modern terminology) in the process of co-evolution of man and nature.

We will explain and substantiate the model of interaction between man and nature on the basis of K. Hempel's analytical philosophy and his theoretical position that “general laws have quite similar functions in history and natural sciences, and that they form an integral instrument of historical research” [4, C.8.16]. For this purpose, it is necessary to show that the model we have chosen has ontological foundations.

The results of the study of solutions obtained from the analysis of the system of equations are in accord with the conclusions of Synergy on the system of global attractors.

CONTROLE CIVIL SOBRE AS FORÇAS ARMADAS BRASILEIRAS NOS DIAS DE HOJE, SOB DUAS ÓTICAS
Authors: Freire Ricardo Rodrigues
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho foi motivado pela observação do controle político sobre as Forças Armadas brasileiras, nos últimos cinquenta anos. Tem por escopo apresentar a ótica de um autor exógeno e de outro nacional sobre as relações civil-militares no Brasil e concluir como tal interação se caracteriza nos dias de hoje. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa com base na metodologia preconizada por Samuel Huntington e no pensamento de Eurico Figueiredo acerca do controle civil sobre o estamento militar. Após a introdução sobre o tema, num primeiro segmento, são apresentadas as concepções do autor estrangeiro e, em seguida, a visão nacional sobre o mesmo assunto. Nas considerações finais, são destacadas as principais características comuns dessas duas óticas e é apresentada, a título de exercício, uma nova percepção de como o poder político nacional exerce o controle sobre as Forças Armadas na atualidade, tomando por base o modelo huntingtoniano.
CONCEPTUALIZACIÓN GEOPOLÍTICA DE LA INDUSTRIA FERROVIARIA EN TANTO RECURSO ESTRATÉGICO VITAL
Authors: Spota Julio César
Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho é centrado na discussão da hipótese de um organismo operacional no imaginário geopolítico dos séculos XIX e XX, com o objetivo de recuperar esses aspectos úteis para gerar aproximações modernizadas, no sentido de produzir contribuições  à tarefa de repensar o tema dos trens diante do século XXI. O trabalho recolhe e analisa as informações atualizadas até o ano de 2014, com o propósito de instituir um intervalo de tempo mínimo entre os fatos. A decisão reflete a dupla necessidade de produzir um corte temporário para o estudo (coleta metodológica da coerência processual) e tentar emancipar, na medida do possível, para o autor responsável pelo trabalho, a reflexão intelectual do impacto de distorção provocada pelo presença de opiniões apaixonadas no calor dos acontecimentos em curso. Optamos por uma análise mais aprofundada neste ponto particular entendendo o debate conceitual como dispositivo de enriquecimento teórico capaz de condensar e refletir nitidamente os aspectos que ainda não foram vistos diante dos problemas enfrentados. Em resumo, interiorizaremo-nos sobre os problemas assinalados a partir de uma perspectiva geopolítica, considerando que a reconstrução da estrutura ferroviária representa um nó de interesse geral, cuja importância une por igual o setor público e o privado; mas a solução somente pode ser antecipada solicitando aproximações de natureza dupla: estratégica e geopolítica.

Investigação da percepção dos alunos do ensino médio sobre o tema desenvolvimento sustentável
Authors: Santos Cínthya Cristina de Freitas , Nucci Edson Romano , Lofrano Renata Carolina Zanetti
Published: December 2020

Devido à relevância da problemática socioambiental na atualidade, torna-se imprescindível e urgente a compreensão da complexa multicausalidade, previsão de efeitos e projeção de mudanças relacionadas à essa temática. O presente artigo aborda a investigação quali-quantitativa da percepção de discentes do ensino médio das escolas públicas de Ouro Branco/MG, relativa aos pilares do desenvolvimento sustentável (ambiental, social, econômico e institucional), visando-se subsídiar e direcionar práticas escolares, e instrumentalizar gestores no planejamento de políticas públicas. As informações coletadas, por meio de um questionário semi-estruturado, foram tabuladas e interpretadas por estatística descritiva. Verificou-se que os alunos têm acesso a informações relevantes à dimensão ambiental, porém não se vêem nela inseridos, e não consideram que ações antrópicas integram o meio ambiente; na dimensão social, destacou-se a preocupação com a igualdade de oportunidades, em especial no mercado de trabalho e baixos índices de conhecimento da dimensão institucional. Conclui-se que os discentes ainda não possuem visão interdisciplinar e holística sobre o tema, exceto pontualmente, pelo assunto conservação ambiental. São pouco atuantes e mantêm-se passivos frente às questões locais e das decisões de seus representantes, muitas vezes por falta de informação. Nesse contexto, tais resultados são valorosos no apontamento de diretrizes e demonstram que são necessárias ações multidisciplinares, conjuntas e integradas, almejando-se mitigar tal cenário.

In the one-group pretest-posttest experimental design all study participants provided with the same treatment and assessment. The researcher therefore, collected data using the pre-and posttest questionnaires. The treatment administered was a television program titled Slimpossible, which showcased middle-aged Kenyan women suffering from the stigma of obesity who were participating in a competition to lose their weight. The multi-stage cluster sampling technique was applied in this study. Out of the target population of 1848 participants, the study sample was 317 academic female staff found in three public universities in Nairobi County, Kenya. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. The analysis applied descriptive statistics and the inferential analysis tools such as the Factor analysis (The Keiser-Meyer –Olkin (KMO) test), Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis (logical regression).

Findings: The study sought to establish the influence of consequences frame on the perception of obesity among middle-aged women in Nairobi County, Kenya. Therefore, the study found that the physical consequences, psychological consequences and social consequences significantly influenced the perception of obesity, except for economic consequences, which had no relationship with the dependent variable.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: In terms of contribution to theory, this study emanated from the media framing theory, where it provided consequences frame as one among five frames, mentioned by an American political scientist known as Robert Entman in 1993. Its contribution to practice, this study recommends media involvement in developing well-research journalistic stories, documentaries and the use of educative programming to highlight on the consequences of obesity.

Further, the paper spotlights the formation of the Indian National Army (INA), the role of Subhash Chandra Bose, and other Indian revolutionaries settled in Southeast Asia and Far East Asia. However, the British portrayed those revolutionaries as ‘Japanese Inspired Fifth Column’ (JIFC) through their propaganda agencies and efficient organizational setups, including Indian troops. The article also spotlights the covert activities of Japanese in British India, which gathered military and strategic information, and dispatched it to Tokyo. The British thwarted the Japanese espionage networks as well as activities by recruiting the Indians as the double agents, prior they were furthering Japanese interests in India. Unfortunately, the history of British India, English Empire in India and the WW-II bypasses the contribution of abroad Indian revolutionaries and their associations with Japanese-intelligence networks, and their impact upon the Indian nationalist movement during WW-II.
Push and Pull Factors of International Higher Education: A Case Study of Pakistani Female Students Studying in Malaysia
Authors: Dr Syed Faisal Hyder Shah  , Musharaf A. Talpur  , Dr Abdul Razaque Channa
Published: December 2020

This paper investigates and analyses various push and pull factors affecting Pakistani female doctoral students to pursue international higher education in Malaysia. The study implemented an open-ended interview approach to collect qualitative data and analysed it using a constant comparative analysis originally developed from Grounded Theory (GT) methodology. The study findings discovered affordability as a major push factor besides other relevant but not less important push factors, such as scholarship conditions to choose Malaysia as a country of destination because of its affordable tuition fees and living expenses. In contrast, this study also identified the principal pull factor that makes Malaysia as a preferred Muslim country for Pakistani women seeking higher education. Other general pull factors, including cultural diversity, lifestyle, security of women and freedom of women, were also found as significantly important as the remaining individual pull factors, such as personal comparison made between Pakistani and Malaysian higher education, students’ previous international experience and family bond. Based on these findings, some lessons are learned and discussed in the details for internationalizing our higher education system in Pakistan in the future.

Published: December 2020

In order to build a natural language processing system first the words are placed into a structured form that leads to a syntactically correct sentence. Syntactic analysis of a sentence is performed by parsing technique. This paper explores the novel approach that how the shift reduce parsing technique is used for translating English sentences into a grammatically correct Kannada sentences by reordering of English parse tree structure, generating and implementing phrase structure grammar(PSG) for kannada sentences. Recursive Descent Parsing technique is used to generate English phrase tree structure and terminal symbols are tagged with Kannada equivalent words then Shift-Reduce Parsing technique is used to construct a Kannada sentence. Part-of-Speech (POS) tagger is used to tag Kannada words to English words. It is implemented by using supervised machine learning approach
HIDING SECRET DATA THROUGH STEGANOGRAPHY IN VOIP
Authors: WANKHADE SHILPA SUNIL , SHAHABADE PROF. RAMESH V.
Published: December 2020

Steganography is an effective way of hiding secret data, by this means of protecting the data from unauthorized or unwanted viewing. Using cryptography technique will encrypt and decrypt message to provide better security. Cryptography protects the message from being read by unauthorized parties, steganography lets the sender conceal the fact that he has even sent a message. One of the new and promising communication medium that can be used as steganography is the Voice over Internet Protocol. VOIP covers a wide range of information hiding techniques. The main idea is to use free unused fields of VOIP protocols like TCP, UDP etc. By hiding one secret text into the cover speech using steganography we can get a stego speech, which sounds indistinguishable from the original cover speech. So even if the Hackers/crackers catch the audio packets on network, they would not notice that there is some secret text hidden inside it. To develop a Voice Chat Tool, this can also enable us to send secret data hidden inside the voice packets at the same time. We used LSB method of steganography and for better security we provide encryption to the message to be sent. There is no restriction on the length of message as more the communicators talk larger the file is sent. Human auditory system (HAS) operates over a wide dynamic range. It is challenging to hide secret data inside audio.

The past few years have marked the start of a historic transition from sequential to parallel computation.The necessity to write parallel programs is increasing as systems are getting more complex while processor speed increases are slowing down. Current parallel programming uses low-level programming constructs like threads and explicit synchronization using locks to coordinate thread execution. Parallel programs written with these constructs are difficult to design, program and debug. Also locks have many drawbacks which make them a suboptimal solution. Software Transactional Memory (STM) is a promising new approach to programming shared-memory parallel processors. It is a concurrency control mechanism that is widely considered to be easier to use by programmers than locking. It allows portions of a program to execute in isolation, without regard to other, concurrently executing tasks. A programmer can reason about the correctness of code within a transaction and need not worry about complex interactions with other, concurrently executing parts of the program. This paper shows the concept of writing code using Software Transactional Memory (STM) and the performance comparison of codes using locks with those using STM.

The aim of the study was to prepare gefitinib-loaded polycaprolactone microcapsules by simple conventional solvent evaporation method with a view to achieve controlled release of the drug following subcutaneous administration once in a week for
targeted therapeutic action especially locally. The microcapsules were prepared using different drug-polymer ratios (1:2, 1:4 and 1:6) and three different stabilizers/surfactants (0.25% w/v, 0.50% w/v and 0.75% w/v) concentrations in aqueous phase. Depending
upon the formulation variables, the highest drug entrapment efficiency and the lowest average particle size diameter of the microcapsules were found to be respectively 90.19±2.61 % and 201±3.05 µ. Comparison of Fourier Transform Infra Red spectra of
gefitinib, polycaprolactone, their physical mixture and the drug- loaded microcapsules showed the absence of drug -polymer interaction .The in-vitro dissolution study showed that the release of drug from the microcapsules was almost complete on day seventh and the drug release followed Higuchi model.

Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) based micro and nanoparticles were prepared for oral insulin delivery. The reactional profiles of MAA, PEGDMA and PEGDMA-MAA were elucidated using molecular mechanics energy relationships (MMER) in vacuum and in a solvated system by exploring the spatial disposition of different concentrations of polymers with respect to each other. Furthermore, the incorporation of insulin within the polymeric matrix was
modeled using connolly molecular surfaces. The computational results corroborated with the experimental and analytical data. The ability to effectively control blood glucose level coupled with the non toxic behavior of the nanoparticles renders them a potential
candidate for insulin delivery.
Energy Consumption using Traffic Models for MANET Routing Protocols
Authors: Dubey Shivendu , Shrivastava Rajesh
Published: December 2020

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a network Topology without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. One of the main issues in MANET routing protocols is development of energy efficient protocols due to limited bandwidth and battery life. There are various such protocols developed and analyzed under Constant Bit Rate (CBR) traffic by many authors. In the present communication the energy consumption in traffic models (CBR, Pareto and Exponential) is measured using routing protocols namely AODV, OLSR and AOMDV. Simulation and computation of energy consumed, received and transmitted energy were done with ns-2 simulator (2.34 version) with parameter variation: number of nodes, pause time, average speed and send rate.
SMART: A Secure Multipath Anonymous Routing Technique
Authors: Jain Prateek , Bagchi Rupsha
Published: December 2020

Multipath routing for mobile Ad hoc networks is a technique of concurrent management and utilization of multiple paths for transmitting distributed data evenly across the nodes instead of routing all the traffic along a single path, potentially resulting in longer lifetime along with the benefits of better transmission performance, fault tolerance, increased bandwidth and improved security. In this paper, a secure multipath anonymous routing protocol (abbreviated as SMART) has been proposed. SMART uses non cryptographic ways to help the source find the routes to the destination and dynamic onion routing to intimate the source about these routes. It includes a mechanism of key caching and defines a minimum battery protection threshold for each node to help increase the network lifetime to some extent. In effect SMART is an attempt to strike a balance between the anonymity, security and energy consumption in a network.

Published: December 2020

ANTECEDENTES: la etiología genética del cáncer de próstata, la neoplasia más común en los países occidentales, es compleja y la interacción de los genes con los factores ambientales de la enfermedad se ha vuelto de interés en los últimos años. Los estudios de las mutaciones somáticas en el ADN mitocondrial se han convertido en un aspecto importante de la investigación del cáncer porque estas variaciones pueden tener consecuencias funcionales y servir como biomarcadores para la detección y evolución tumoral prostática.CASO CLÍNICO: reporte de la secuenciación bidireccional del mitogenoma (16,569 pb) de tejidos celulares, maligno y sano, proveniente de la resección transuretral de próstata de un paciente mexicano diagnosticado con cáncer de próstata. Gracias a las herramientas bioinformáticas especializadas, MITOMAP y MitImpact CSS Bioinformatics Lab, se localizaron las primeras mutaciones susceptibles al cáncer de próstata, T489C, G6261A, C12705T y C16223T. Otras mutaciones probables encontradas fueron: C13478G y G12009A (aún no descritas en la bibliografía médica). Todas las variaciones estudiadas fueron homoplásmicas. Se identificó el haplogrupo A2 mitocondrial del paciente. En la actualidad, se estudia la frecuencia de haplogrupos mitocondriales en poblaciones europeas y asiáticas asociadas al cáncer de próstata; sin embargo, se carece de estudios similares en la población mexicana.CONCLUSIÓN: las mutaciones somáticas en el genoma mitocondrial son eventos frecuentes en el cáncer de próstata que se constituyen en una herramienta complementaria a los estudios tradicionales de diagnóstico de este cáncer.PALABRAS CLAVE: cáncer de próstata, haplogrupos mitocondriales, mutaciones en el mtDNA, bioinformática, resección transuretral de próstata, mutaciones homoplásmicas.
