La educación estética de profesionales de la educación en formación inicial desde la extensión universitaria
Authors: Díaz Peralta Luis Enrique , Hernández Alfonso Eduardo Alejandro , Paz Enrique Luis Ernesto
Published: June 2019

La formación integral de profesionales de la educación resulta esencial para cumplir su encargo social. En este proceso formativo, la educación estética ha de ser un contenido esencial por su alcance universal. Desde la extensión universitaria, se puede facilitar la educación estética para contribuir a la apreciación y comprensión de la sociedad. Con base en las encuestas de satisfacción estudiantil efectuadas en la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas durante el curso escolar 2017-2018, se constatan insuficiencias en el desarrollo de profesionales de la educación en formación inicial. Los resultados anteriores arrojan como principales causas, la falta de conocimientos teóricos por parte de quienes se encargan del proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje acerca de la extensión universitaria, y la carencia de un diseño integrador de actividades que favorezca los contenidos de la educación estética. Se propone como objetivo: identificar los rasgos que caracterizan la educación estética de profesionales de la educación en formación inicial desde la extensión universitaria en la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas, Cuba. La inclusión de contenidos sobre la educación estética para profesionales de la educación en formación permite el acercamiento a los valores artísticos y estéticos, y favorece la inserción en la actividad estética y en la crítica del arte como vía para una interpretación exhaustiva de la sociedad.
Perspectiva moral de las emociones en los contextos de educación formal
Authors: Mujica Johnson Felipe Nicolás , Orellana Arduiz Nelly del Carmen , Luis-Pascual Juan Carlos
Published: June 2019

El presente ensayo responde a un análisis crítico de la educación emocional. Considera que las emociones en la educación formal se están abordando desde una perspectiva terapéutica, fundamentada en la tradición hedonista de la psicología, lo cual no corresponde a un conocimiento pedagógico, más aún cuando no se consideran los fundamentos filosóficos de la educación. Tomando en cuenta esa crítica, se genera este ensayo que tiene por finalidad analizar el valor moral de las emociones. Se identifica que una misma emoción puede tener un valor positivo o negativo en relación con el significado de la meta educativa. Se concluye que no es posible estandarizar el valor pedagógico-moral de las emociones, ya que responden a un análisis cualitativo de la situación pedagógica.
Pensamiento decolonial y configuración de competencias decoloniales
Authors: Ortiz Ocaña Alexander Luis , Arias López María Isabel , Pedrozo Conedo Zaira Esther
Published: June 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es develar cómo, desde finales del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI, están emergiendo las ciencias decoloniales. En la actualidad se está produciendo una migración epistémica desde las ciencias histórico-hermenéuticas y sociocríticas hacia las ciencias decoloniales, proceso que se aborda en este artículo y que no ha sido ajeno a las ciencias de la educación. Estas se han sumado al giro decolonial. Así, la pedagogía también se ha incorporado a dicho proceso, está girando y está haciendo su giro en clave decolonial. Por todo lo anterior, es necesario no ignorar las urgencias que nos convocan y las emergencias que nos invitan a la resistencia epistemológica, a partir de la desobediencia epistémica. Hoy es un imperativo decolonizar la educación, transitar hacia la decolonialidad del currículo y proponer uno decolonial. Esto solo es posible si giramos junto al giro decolonial de la pedagogía. Precisamente, la reflexión que hoy nos ocupa sobre la decolonialidad y la pedagogía decolonial constituyen aportes decoloniales a este loable empeño y contribuye a la configuración del pensamiento decolonial/fronterizo, como cimiento de las competencias “otras”: las competencias decoloniales, sustentadas en el pensamiento decolonial como teoría crítica latinoamericana –y caribeña—.
Los apaches sudamericanos: conexiones atlánticas y policía de costumbres a comienzos del siglo XX
Authors: Schettini Cristiana , Galeano Diego
Published: June 2019

Este artículo analiza la circulación atlántica de apaches en los años previos a la Primera Guerra Mundial. Explora dos dimensiones de los desplazamientos territoriales y semánticos de este moderno tipo de delincuente francés: los viajes de apaches parisinos hacia América del Sur y los significados específicos que el personaje adquirió al llegar a estas costas. Asociado a formas delictivas resultantes de las inmigraciones masivas, como los ladrones viajeros y los proxenetas internacionales, el apache fue objeto de una campaña de policía de costumbres alrededor de 1912 en Buenos Aires y en Río de Janeiro. Reinventado en los circuitos culturales atlánticos, terminó por ocupar un lugar central en las prácticas de vigilancia y cooperación entre ambas policías.

Authors: Vasquez Jorge Daniel
Published: June 2019

Es necesario desarrollar perspectivas contrarias a los enfoques que consideran el neoliberalismo como “el retiro del Estado”, en nombre de la supremacía del libre mercado sobre la regulación de la economía. En A Century of Violence in a Red City. Popular Struggle, Counterinsurgency, and Human Rights in Colombia, Lesley Gill realiza un análisis de las dinámicas de violencia y lucha popular en Barrancabermeja (Santander, Colombia), explorando la compleja articulación de actores envueltos en procesos de construcción de la sociedad, no solo por medio del Estado sino contra y desde dentro de él. En estos procesos los capitales transnacionales juegan un rol crucial como parte de alianzas (abiertas o encubiertas) entre poderes con el fin de promover proyectos políticos y económicos.

Authors: Moreno-Leiva Germán Mauricio , Álvarez-Zuñiga Miguel Ángel , Arias-Poblete Leónidas Eduardo
Published: June 2019

A pesar de que el objetivo de las investigaciones en ciencias médicas es alcanzar un mayor conocimiento de cómo el cuerpo y su funcionamiento se relacionan con los patrones disfuncionales y cómo estos generan patologías, la mayoría de los esfuerzos se centran en preguntas usando datos cada vez más detallados. Sin embargo, podría ser posible abordar con éxito a los usuarios mediante una mirada más amplia de mecanismos corporales desde una perspectiva global y pensando en cómo las disfunciones o patologías pueden influir desencadenando otros problemas.El cuerpo se puede entender como un sistema o una red compleja en la que los patrones disfuncionales surgen de la interacción entre múltiples niveles físicos y funcionales. El logro de un mayor progreso con los usuarios dependerá, en lo fundamental, de las propiedades y relaciones de las patologías, disfunciones y herramientas que están disponibles o se deban desarrollar con el fin de estudiar los mecanismos de patología-disfunción.

System for complex exhaust gas cleaning of internal combustion engine with water-fuel emulsion burning
Authors: Kornienko V. S.
Published: June 2019

The necessity to fulfill all requirements of international organizations in the field of environmental protection, need to reduce heat loss in combustion of organic fuels, increasing economy and reliability of all elements of ship's power plant make it necessary to develop complex technology. The aim of study is to develop system for complex exhaust gas cleaning of internal combustion engine (ICE). For performing tasks in technology of proposed method, providing solutions to problems of improving economic efficiency, improvement of environmental indicators and reliability, it is envisaged 5 stages of technological process. At all stages conditions for appropriate running of physico-chemical processes in the next stage are created. Possibility of solving complex problems in proposed technology is ensured by combustion of water-fuel emulsion (WFE) with specifically recommended value of water content W r = 30%. When WFE is burnt with a water content of 30%, the low-temperature corrosion intensity decreases, which allows to install a condensing heating surfaces in exhaust gas boilers. At these conditions an equimolar ratio of nitrogen oxides NO2:NO in gases is required, which is necessary to activate their absorption properties. When WFE is burnt with water content W r = 30% the metal surface with a temperature below of dew point H2SO4 passivates. Experimental studies performed show that: 1 m2 of condensing surface absorbs 3.4 mg/m3 of NOx and 0.89 mg/m3 of SO2, which makes it possible to decrease the NOx concentration by 1.55 times and SO2 - in 1.5 times. There is a process of precipitation of toxic solid ash and soot particles: from 150...170 mg/m3 (at outlet of ICE when WFE is burnt with W r = 30%) to 70...90 mg/m3 after the condensing surface. Consumption of water with alkaline properties decreases when NOx, SO2, CO2 concentration is reduced in front of scrubbers. Reducing pollution of heating surfaces increases the cleaning period of EGB in 2.5 times. The using of complex system provides efficient exhaust gas cleaning at the level recommended by IMO.
POETIC (Program for Enhanced Training in Cancer): An Initial Experience of Supporting Capacity Building for Oncology Training in Sub-Saharan Africa

Published: June 2019

Background

Sub-Saharan Africa is simultaneously facing a rising incidence of cancer and a dearth of medical professionals because of insufficient training numbers and emigration, creating a growing shortage of cancer care. To combat this, Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center partnered with institutions in South Africa, Tanzania, and Rwanda to develop a fellowship exchange program to supplement the training of African oncologists practicing in their home countries.

Methods

In its initial year, 2018, the Program for Enhanced Training in Cancer (POETIC) hosted a pilot cohort of seven fellows for 3-week observerships in their areas of interest. Researchers distributed questionnaires for program evaluation to participants prior to arrival and upon departure; additionally, three participated in semistructured interviews.

Results

Five themes emerged from the qualitative data: expectations of POETIC, differences between oncology in the U.S. and in sub-Saharan Africa, positive elements of the program, areas for improvement, and potential impact. Fellows identified several elements of Western health care that will inform their practice: patient-centered care; clinical trials; and collaboration among medical, radiation, and surgical oncologists. From the quantitative data, feedback was primarily around logistical areas for improvement.

Conclusion

POETIC was found to be feasible and valuable. The results from the pilot year justify the program's continuation in hopes of strengthening global health partnerships to support oncology training in Africa. One weakness is the small number of fellows, which will limit the impact of the study and the relevance of its conclusions. Future research will report on the expansion of the program and follow-up with former participants.

Implications for Practice

This work presents a novel model for fellowship exchange between lower- and higher-resourced areas. The program is a short-term observership with tumor boards and didactic teaching sessions incorporated. By attracting oncologists who aim to practice in their home countries, it facilitates international collaboration without contributing to the preexisting lack of medical professionals in low- and middle-income countries.

Published: June 2019

Among 2000 series aluminum (Al) alloys, AA2219 exhibits excellent weldability and good combination of strength and toughness at very low temperature. This study focused on the optimization of process parameters in tungsten (W) inert gas (TIG) welding of AA2219 using gray relational analysis. The input parameters selected in this work were welding current, voltage and welding speed. Transverse shrinkage, tensile strength and microhardness were measured as performance characteristics. The experiments were conducted in accordance with the L 9 orthogonal array. Analysis of variance was used to assess the significance of the input parameters on the weld quality. The properties were correlated with the help of metallurgical characterization. Postweld heat treatment was done on the optimized weld, and it was observed that heat treatment of the welded samples resulted in a reduction of transverse shrinkage, improvement in tensile strength and increase in microhardness by 30–40%.
Renewable energy choices and their water requirements in South Africa

Published: June 2019

South Africa is an arid country, where water supply is often obtained from a distant source. There is increasing pressure on the limited water resources due to economic and population growth, with a concomitant increase in the energy requirement for water production. This problem will be exacerbated by the onset of climate change. Recently, there have been concerns about negative impacts arising from the exploitation of energy resources. In particular, the burning of fossil fuels is significantly contributing to climate change through the emission of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. In addition, fossil fuels are being depleted, and contributing to decreased energy security. As a result of this, the international community has initiated various interventions, including the transformation of policy and regulatory instruments, to promote sustainable energy. With this in mind, South Africa is making policy and regulatory shifts in line with international developments. Renewable energy is being promoted as one way of achieving sustainable energy provision in the country. However, some issues require scrutiny in order to understand the water footprint of renewable energy production. Due to the large gap that exists between water supply and demand, trade-offs in water allocation amongst different users are critical. In this vein, the main objective of this study was to investigate and review renewable energy choices and water requirements in South Africa. Data were acquired through a combination of a desktop study and expert interviews. Water withdrawal and consumption levels at a given stage of energy production were investigated. Most of the data was collected from secondary sources. Results show that there is limited data on all aspects of water usage in the production chain of energy, accounting in part for the significant variations in the values of water intensity that are reported in the literature. It is vital to take into account all aspects of the energy life cycle to enable isolation of stages where significant amounts of water are used. It is found that conventional fuels (nuclear and fossil fuels) withdraw significant quantities of water over the life-cycle of energy production, especially for thermoelectric power plants operated with a wet-cooling system. The quality of water is also adversely affected in some stages of energy production from these fuels. On the other hand, solar photovoltaic and wind energy exhibit the lowest demand for water, and could perhaps be considered the most viable renewable options in terms of water withdrawal and consumption.
Reliability benefit of smart grid technologies: A case for South Africa
Authors: Masembe Angela
Published: June 2019

The South African power industry faces many challenges, from poor performing networks, a shortage of generation capacity to significant infrastructure backlog and an ageing work force. According to the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA), the key challenge facing the industry is ageing infrastructure. Smart grid technologies are a class of technologies that are being developed and used by utilities to deliver electrical systems into the 21st century using computer-based remote control and automation. The main motive towards smart grid technologies is to improve reliability, flexibility, accessibility and profitability; as well as to support trends towards a more sustainable energy supply. This study identifies a number of smart grid technologies and examines the impact they may have on the distribution reliability of a test system. The components on the selected test system are the same as those found on a South African feeder. The bulk of the load in test system was modelled using load data collected in South Africa. This study will consider a number of different cases, with the base case incorporating the impact of aged infrastructure on the reliability of the system. The smart grid technologies were then introduced into the system and their impact on distribution reliability was determined. These different cases were also compared to the alternative of replacing the aged and worn out infrastructure with new infrastructure. The findings of this study indicate that the identified smart grid technologies improve the reliability of the system, mainly by decreasing the outage duration experienced by customers on the network. An even better performance was achieved when the ageing infrastructure was replaced with new infrastructure.
Low-income resident’s preferences for the location of wind turbine farms in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Authors: Hosking Jessica , Du Preez Mario , Sharp Gary
Published: June 2019

There is a general consensus that South Africa should be generating more power through harnessing renewable energy resources, such as wind power. However, there is no consensus with regard to the location of such generating projects. This paper describes a wind farm project proposed for development in the Kouga Local Municipality, reports low-income local residents’ preferences on its nature and applies choice modelling to analyse these preferences. A questionnaire was presented to each respondent, the discrete choice experiment component of the questionnaire included two different onshore wind energy development scenarios and a status quo option. The scenarios differed by the combination of four elements: the distance of the wind turbines from residential areas, job creation, the number of turbines and a subsidy allocated to each household.
The effect of an angle on the impact and flow quantity on output power of an impulse water wheel model
Authors: Tyagi Ram K.
Published: June 2019

Nowadays, the world is more focused on hydraulic energy, which scientists have initiated thorough analyses of hydropower resources. The potential of wind power generation is immense. It is an historical source of energy but wind power is not applicable in this case. In India, water can be used for both - as a source of electricity and for irrigation and agricultural use. Impulse type water wheels were employed until flow is accessible. According to available literature, there are three types of water wheels and the application of a particular type of water wheel depends upon the stream of water. In this article, an extremely uncomplicated category impulse water wheel is fabricated. To fabricate this water wheel, little engineering is required. The experimental results obtained indicate that intensity of generated power depends upon the angle of water impact on the turbine blade, height, quantity of water flowing in pipe etc. The aim of this article is to suggest an alternative source of economical and environmentally friendly green energy for a small quantity of fluid flowing. There are various sources of small quantity water such as large society storage tank water, sewer line water, canals water and many more. The construction cost of water wheels is not as much since it does not have an intricate blade profile.
Coğrafyada kalkınma araştırmalarının kısa tarihi
Authors: AKGİŞ Öznur , Karakaş Erdal
Published: June 2019

Yoksulluk ve eşitsizlik; sosyal, ekonomik, etnik veya herhangi bir sebeple günümüzdeki kadar şiddetli olmasa da hep var olmuş, bilimsel literatürde de önemli bir araştırma konusu olarak yer bulmuştur. Buna karşın hem sosyal hem de ekonomik politikada, genellikle yoksul alanlardan ziyade yoksul insanlara odaklanılmıştır. Başka bir ifade ile kalkınmanın ayrılmaz parçası olan mekân göz ardı edilmiştir. Günümüzde ise kalkınma araştırmalarında mekânı ön plana çıkaran bakış açıları önem kazanmıştır. Bu süreçte coğrafyacılar tarafından yapılan kalkınma konulu araştırmaların sayısı artmaktadır “Coğrafyada Kalkınma Araştırmalarının Kısa Tarihi” isimli bu çalışma, “Kalkınma konusunda coğrafi yaklaşımla yapılan araştırmalar ve temel araştırma konuları nelerdir, bu araştırmaların başlangıç tarihlerini ne zamana kadar götürmek mümkündür?” sorularına yanıt aramaktadır. İlgili soruların cevaplanmasına yönelik kalkınma kavramının sorunsallaştırılması da gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle kalkınma coğrafyası çalışmalarına geçmeden önce kalkınma literatürü, ana eksenler etrafında irdelenmiş ve kavramın günümüzdeki kullanımı açıklanmıştır. Coğrafya alanında yapılmış kalkınma araştırmaları ise 1940’lı yıllardan günümüze kadar ele alınmıştır. Bu inceleme tarihsel okuma perspektifinden “ne ve ne zaman” soruları üzerine temellendirilmiştir. İlgili yayın dizinin incelenmesi sonucu coğrafya biliminde, kalkınma araştırmalarının gelişiminde dört farklı dönem ayırt edilmiştir. Birincisi 1960’lı yıllara kadar hakim olmuş bölgesel coğrafya araştırmalarından oluşmaktadır. İkinci dönem 1960’lı yıllardan itibaren nicel devrimin etkisi altında gelişmiş, mekansal modellemeler ile karakterize edilen dönemdir. Üçüncü dönem 1970’li yıllardan itibaren Marksist anlayışın coğrafi düşünceye olan etkisi ile eleştirel araştırmaların ortaya çıkmaya başladığı dönemdir. Dördüncüsü ise 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren gelişmeye başlayan post yapısal yaklaşımlar sonucu ortaya çıkan ilişkisel çalışmalar ile karaterize edilebilecek dönemdir.

Van Gölü 3602 km2 lik alanı ve maksimum 451 m derinliği ile Türkiye’nin en büyük gölüdür. Sodalı olan göl denizden 1648 metre yüksekte olup 17.000 km2 lik kapalı bir havzaya sahiptir. Havzanın kapalı olması Nemrut volkanizması ile ilişkilidir. Son yıllarda yapılan sondaj çalışmaları (Paleovan) ile gölün yaşı 600.000 yıl olarak belirlenmiştir. Konu ve inceleme alanına ilişkin literatür araştırmaları yapıldıktan sonra arazi çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiş ve İnsansız Hava Aracı ile fotoğraf çekimleri yapılmıştır. Engil Deltası ve yakın çevresinin haritalama çalışmalarında ArcGIS 10.3 programı kullanılmıştır. Urartu Medeniyeti tarihi ve kültürünün en önemli kalıntıları ve kayıtlarına da ev sahipliği yapan Van Havzası jeomorfolojik ve jeoarkeolojik anlamda büyük bir zenginliğe sahiptir. Van Gölü’nde geçmişten günümüze önemli ölçüde seviye değişiklikleri meydana gelmiştir. Bu değişimlerin kıyı şekillenmesinde etkileri olmuştur. Özellikle alçak kıyı kesimlerinde seviye değişimlerinin etkileri daha belirgindir. Bu çalışmada göldeki seviye değişikliklerinin Engil Çayı Deltası ve Dilkaya Höyüğü üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Dilkaya Höyüğü’nün delta gelişimi süreci ve göldeki seviye değişimleri ile olan ilişkisi incelenirken 1986-1998-2016 yıllarına ait Landsat uydu görüntülerinden de faydalanılmıştır. Deltanın eski tortulları üzerinde kurulmuş olan höyük, göl seviyesine göre yüksekte olmakla birlikte göldeki seviye yükselmelerinden tarih boyunca sürekli etkilenmiştir. Höyük tamamen ortadan kalkmamış ve günümüzde bir delta-göl taraçası (Alçak Taraça-Pleistosen Holosen) görünümünü almıştır; ancak bugün yarıya yakınını dalga erozyonu ile kaybetmiştir. İnceleme alanındaki ikinci taraça (Yüksek taraça- Pliyo-Kuvaterner), gölün daha yüksek bir seviyesinde oluşmuş eski delta kalıntısıdır. Engil Çayı, gölün şimdiki seviyesine göre aktüel deltayı oluşturmaktadır. Bu delta alanı gölde sık sık görülen seviye değişimlerinden etkilenerek gelişimini sürdürmektedir.

Treatment of Matrices An experimental study with an initial sample composed of twenty rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus), matrices, 10 males and 10 females, without kinship, with 8 weeks of life were subdivided as follows: 4 males and 4 females belonging to the group control matrices, 6 males and 6 females belonging to the group of smoking matrices. Animals of both groups were maintained by cage at room temperature (22 ± 2 ° C), and light and dark cycle for 12 hours. For all animals, filtered water and feed (Nuvilab®) were offered without restrictions. Body weights and water and solids intakes were measured weekly. The animals received their own numbering, marked on the tail for identification. This experimental study was approved by the Ethics Committee for the Use of Animals of the Medical School of Jundiaí under the number of protocol n ° 285/2013 being in agreement with the Principles of Experimentation in Animals established by COBEA / CONCEA. ((Brazilian College of Animal Experimentation and National Council of Animal Experimentation)). Exposure to Cigarette Smoke and Groups Formation For adaptation to cigarette smoke, the animals were gradually exposed to the burning of cigarettes that occurred two by two, until completing the total of twenty cigarettes daily. After this period, the smoking matrices were exposed to a smoke of 20 cigarettes per day (high content - tar: 10 mg; nicotine: 0.8 mg; carbon monoxide: 10 mg) for a period of 8 weeks. The cigarettes were accessed and placed in a metal receptacle in front of the ventilation shelf influx system (Figure 2). Through this system the smoke exuding from the tip burning of the cigarette was homogeneously distributed into the sealed chambers. A total of 20 cigarettes per day, being 5 units per hour, for 5 days per week. Given 8 weeks of exposure, couples were formed for the purpose of mating between 5 and 7 days or until vaginal tampon detection. After this period males and females were relocated in the original boxes. Throughout the intrauterine, neonatal, and breastfeeding period, the smoking offspring of the smoking matrices were exposed to cigarette smoke along with their progenitors. After weaning, 40 male pups were selected and continued exposure to cigarette smoke in the same initial conditions of their parents from the intrauterine period, but for different periods. Interrupted smoking offsprings (ISO) were formed from the subdivision of continuous smoking offsprings (CSO) at the midpoint of the exposure period to assess tissue recovery or non-recovery. No ISO group of 21 days was formed. Non-smoking offsprings (NSO) formed groups with five animals in each group and were maintained in an environment of non-exposure to cigarette smoke. Thus, they were sacrificed at the ages of 21, 42, 63 and 128 days (weaning period, adolescence, young and mature adult, respectively).
Plate Pouring v2
Authors: Islam Priota
Published: June 2019

C. elegans is maintained in the laboratory on Nematode Growth Medium (NGM) agar which has been aseptically poured into petri plates. Smaller plates (35 mm diameter) are useful for mating or when using expensive drugs. Medium size plates (60 mm diameter) are useful for general strain maintenance, and larger plates (100 mm diameter) are useful for growing larger quantities of worms, such as for certain mutant screens. The NGM agar medium can be poured into petri plates easily and aseptically using a peristaltic pump. This pump can be adjusted so that a constant amount of NGM agar is dispensed into each petri plate. A constant amount of agar in the plates reduces the need for refocusing the microscope when you switch from one plate to another. Reference: http://www.wormbook.org/

Leveraging Connectivity for Coverage in Drone Networks for Target Detection
Authors: YANMAZ ADAM Evsen
Published: June 2019

Target or event detection is one of the main applicationsof drone networks. Several cooperative search algorithmshave been proposed for teams of unmanned aerialvehicles (UAVs), where the goal is to minimize search time ormaximize detection probability. In these works, connectivity oftenis considered a constraint in enabling cooperation. In this paper,we approach the target detection problem in drone networksfrom both detection and connectivity viewpoints. Our goal is notonly to find a stationary target but also to inform the groundpersonnel (e.g., a rescue team) about the status of the target overa multi-hop communication chain. We analyze the performanceof our coverage-based and connectivity-based path planningalgorithms in terms of probability and time of detection as well asnotification. We show that there is a trade-off between coverageand connectivity and with limited number of drones both aspectsneed to be considered for successful mission completion.
Participación ciudadana y patrimonio cultural en la planificación turística de los pueblos mágicos (México): alcances y limitaciones
Authors: Muñoz Aréyzaga Eréndira
Published: June 2019

Pueblos Mágicos es un programa público para promover el desarrollo sustentable de localidades caracterizadas por la ruralidad mediante el turismo, por medio de la puesta en valor del patrimonio cultural, que considera la participación ciudadana en su planificación como una estrategia para integrar a las comunidades a los beneficios del turismo; pero en la práctica existen factores que la limitan. Teniendo en cuenta que la participación ciudadana opera en dos planos (discursivo y de acción) en los que existen relaciones de poder asimétricas, primero se revisa teóricamente el concepto y su relación con la sustentabilidad social y el patrimonio, para mostrar sus alcances. Después se analiza el marco jurídico del Programa, que estructura las condiciones de la participación ciudadana, para entender el primer plano. Y, a partir de la revisión de diversos estudios de caso, se analiza el plano de la acción, en el que se expresan estas asimetrías.

Aging process leads to decline in body functions, including in musculoskeletal system. Bone mass loss (osteoporosis) is one of the problems in musculoskeletal system which often experienced by elderly. Osteoporosis could have a great impact on elderlys life, such as increased risk of fractures and decreased quality of life. The objective was to construct models of the formation of osteoporosis care group (OCG) and empowerment of the elderly to increase calcium intake to reduce the osteoporosis incidence. This study uses Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach. Participants are Posyandu Lansia cadresand members of Posyandu Lansia in the Dawuhan village, Padamara District, Central Java, Indonesia. The following steps were implemented in this study 1) problem identification 2) formation of OCG, 3) OCG training, and 4) OCG mentoring process. Data was analyzed using qualitative method. Results showed that knowledge and skills of OCG members in regards to osteoporosis management were improved following training andmentoring process. Further, OCG members can apply their knowledge and skills toempower elderly for increasing calcium intake. OCG which is involving cadres and community leaders and elderly as its members are very important to cultivate awareness in health maintaining in order to prevent osteoporosis.

Background. Caring for schizophrenia is a challenge and a burden for caregiver. In fact, family caregivers did not know how to care schizophrenia at home. A home management care base coaching is urgently needed. It can be used as a basis for nurses to assist caregivers in caring for persons with schizophrenia. Aims and Objectives. The study aimed to determine the feasibility of a home care management model base coaching for family caregivers of persons with schizophrenia.

Methods. The study was two groups pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. Thirty family caregivers were assigned into experimental and control group with each group 15 persons. Data were collected using the Chiang Mai Psychiatric Caregiving Scale, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale and the Schizophrenia Caregiver Quality of Life questionnaire. It was six weeks activities with several methods, such as discussion, watching videos, providing information, training, and home visit.

Results:The participants who receive interventions reported significantly more improved in caregiving skills (p<0.05), increased quality of life (p < 0.05)and decreased the level of burden care (p<0.05) than those receiving the routine care.

Conclusions:The study revealed that home care management model base coaching intervention was effective to improve caregiversâ€™ outcomes in caring for relatives with schizophrenia.

Published: June 2019

Groundwater is the most extracted raw material in the world with global annual withdrawal rates of 800–1500 km3/year. In East and Southern Africa, 70 % of the population are reliant on shallow groundwater as their primary drinking water source. With increased population growth, intensification of agriculture and industrialization, conflicting demands on groundwater present a challenge to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (6,3,11,12,15). Between 2015 and 2018, the Horn of Africa was affected by a series of climatic induced events, namely El Nino, La Nina and the Indian Ocean Diopole. These events modified the variability of rainfall patterns and resulted in long periods of low rainfall, low recharge and high evapotranspiration. As a result, shallow aquifers in alluvial deposits of Somali region have low yields and produce brackish and saline water. That situation prompted humanitarian water professionals to finance the transportation of water from selected locations with high groundwater potential through water trucks to areas facing groundwater depletion and drought. To address this challenge, UNICEF explored alternative, sustainable deeper groundwater sources that could be extracted using solar water pumping technology for multi water use. This paper describes a three-phase methodology of deep groundwater development of wells in the Ogaden Jesoma sandstone aquifers of the Somali region of the Horn of Africa to a depth of 600 meters below ground level. The results concluded that the deep sandstone aquifer of Jesoma can provide fresh water with yields of 15 l/s to the local population of Somali region. to the study provided insights into deep groundwater identification and development as well as adaptive deep boreholes drilling as a source for climate resilient water supplies.

Published: June 2019

A novel analysis method is presented for form-finding of tensegrity structures subjected to boundary constraints. Dummy members are introduced to free the fixed nodes as to transform the tensegrity structure with boundary constraints into free-standing self-stressed system without supports. The geometrical topology, the dimension of the structure and the element prototype are the only information that is required in the proposed form-finding process. Parallel computation of singular value decomposition of the force density matrix and the equilibrium matrix are performed iteratively to seek the feasible sets of nodal coordinates and force densities. A rigorous definition is given for the required rank deficiencies of the force density and equilibrium matrices that lead to a stable non-degenrate d-dimensional self-stresssed tensegrity structure. Several illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness in searching self-equilibrium configurations of tensegrity structures subjected to boundary constraints.
