ANTECEDENT DIRECT AND INDIRECT OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Authors: Firdaus Muhamad Azis
Published: September 2019

This study aims to analyze the direct and indirect effects of antecedent variables on employee engagement. The study involved 272 respondents from two regional companies in the water sector in the Bogor area. The study took place from April 2018 to May 2019. Analysis of the data used Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEMPLS) on employee engagement variables as the first endogenous variable, employee job satisfaction as the second endogenous variable and as mediating variables, as well as organizational culture variables and work environment as an exogenous variable. The results showed that the organizational culture variables, directly and indirectly, did not have a significant effect on the endogenous variables of employee engagement. Exogenous variables of the work environment, directly and indirectly, have a positive and significant influence on the employee engagement variable. The implication of the results of this study is that the Regional Water Supply Company (PDAM) in the Bogor region needs to develop its work environment attributes that can improve employee job satisfaction. This needs to be done considering that employee job satisfaction will affect the degree of employee engagement.
Delayed Radial Nerve Injury from a Brachial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following a Four-Part Proximal Humerus Fracture
Authors: Sungelo M.J. , Sears B.W.
Published: September 2019

Case:

Following a 4-part proximal humerus fracture at the level of the surgical neck, an 84-year-old woman presented with delayed radial nerve deficits secondary to a brachial artery pseudoaneurysm. She underwent emergent repair of the vessel and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The deficit remained present at 1-year follow-up and is unlikely to improve.

Conclusions:

Brachial artery pseudoaneurysms can occur following humeral fractures. Fractures at this location can lead to the unique complication of a proximal pseudoaneurysm that compresses the radial nerve. It should be considered a possible limb-threatening complication in fractures managed conservatively as well as surgical candidates.

Published: September 2019

Mirror antenna systems are widely used in satellite and space communication systems and radio astronomy. Development of these areas requires new efficient antenna systems' design. Possible technical solution for creating an effective mirror antenna is a “hybrid” scheme, when an adaptive phased antenna array is used as an irradiator. This paper is devoted to the development of an out-of-focus irradiator based on a phased antenna array for a space communications' parabolic reflector antenna. The aim of the work is to develop an optimal design of the irradiator with the choice of the structural element of the antenna array and experimental studies of the selected structural element.

The wavefront recovery method was used as a tool for selecting the irradiator configuration. The idea of this method use is to reproduce the electromagnetic field of an incident plane wave with an irradiator in order to uniformly illuminate the aperture of the antenna mirror.

In order to select the structural element of the irradiator several antennas were considered: a patch antenna, a flat spiral antenna, a conical spiral antenna. The requirements for the phased antenna array element were defined. The irradiator based on the above mentioned was simulated and the irradiator geometry was optimized according to the maximum gain criterion.

The maximum gain was achieved for the irradiator based on conical spiral antennas and amounted to 30.8 dB, which for the considered mirror aperture of 2.4 m is close to traditional focal schemes. The results obtained make it possible to create an adaptive antenna system able to compensate for the deviations of the mirror's shape from the theoretical profile, as well as phase distortions in the atmosphere by changing the lattice weights coefficients.
Simulation of Distributed Current Sensor Based on Optical Fiber Deformation
Authors: Yanukovich T. P. , Polyakov A. V.
Published: September 2019

Due to the development of automation and control systems, methods and devices for measuring of electric current large values are of great interest. The aim of the work was to develop a schematic diagram of a distributed current strength sensor based on the Brillouin optical frequency domain analysis; to create a mathematical model of the sensor to demonstrate its work and to calculate the basic parameters of the sensor. To provide the measurement optical fiber with conductive coating is used. Between the current bus, where current is measured, and conductive coating the Ampere force arises. Strain occurs in optical fiber due to this force. Stimulated Brillouin scattering has the strain dependent characteristic frequency. Shift of the characteristic frequency allows to measure current in the bus. To measure the characteristic frequency and the location of its shift Brillouin optical frequency domain analysis is used.

The mathematical model of sensor operation based on tree-wave model of stimulated Brillouin scattering is demonstrated. This model allows calculating intensity of optical signal in the fiber in dependence of characteristic frequency shift. Brillouin optical frequency domain analysis uses inverse Fourier transform to obtain pulse response.

A schematic diagram of a distributed current sensor based on the method of Brillouin optical frequency domain analysis is presented. An a priori estimate of parameters of the measuring system was carried out on the basis of the mathematical model of stimulated Brillouing scattering in an optical fiber. The spatial resolution of the sensor when determining the length and location of fiber sections was 0.06 m. The resolution of the sensor was 0.22 kA, the maximum value of the current strength was 25 kA. Dependence of the sensor operation at different powers of the laser used was investigated. The refractive index change influence on the result of measurements was estimated.
Clinical approaches to cultural diversity in mental health care and specificities of French transcultural consultations: A scoping review.
Authors: CARRERA LAURA CARBALLEIRA , Lévesque-Daniel Sarah , Radjack Rahmeth , Moro Marie Rose , Lachal Jonathan
Published: September 2019

Background: Cultural context substantially affects the experience and clinical expression of psychiatric diseases, while cultural factors limit both access to and the effectiveness of care, especially for migrant families requiring the construction of specific types of services. We review the international literature on mental health services that take cultural elements into account and use these data to uncover the specificities of the French model of consultations by a group of transcultural psychotherapists.
Methods: Exhaustive review of the international literature through searches of PubMed and PsycINFO. The review includes 32 articles.
Results: The specificities of mental health services for migrant families are linked to the host country's migration patterns and citizenship model. In English-speaking countries, specialized services for ethnic minorities offer ethnic matching of the therapist and patient. In Canada, indirect transcultural consultation services have existed since the late 1990s. Australia emphasizes the networking of consultation services and professional training in cultural competence, while the Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark) focus management on trauma. In France, psychotherapy services, with flexible numbers of therapists involved according to the situation, have existed since 1990.
Discussion: Most initiatives place emphasis on training and supervision, in an indirect approach not specifically focused on the patient, or offer cultural matching of patient and therapist. The French transcultural approach, on the contrary, makes the family's culture and its cultural diversity an integral part of the therapy process. Scientific publications clearly demonstrate the clinical efficacy of this method.

Published: September 2019

Background: The spinal level determined by reference of posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) will be different because of the various sagittal posture of spine-pelvis complex. The study aimed at investigating the anatomical factors affecting the estimated spinal level of PSIS from the standpoint of spine-pelvis paraments, and provided a basis for improving the accuracy of positioning. Methods: The lumbar X-ray images of 76 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The population was classified according to the estimated level of PSIS. lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT) and other parameters were measured. Then, the latent factors affecting the estimated level were filtered and obtained by One-way ANOVA and Fisher linear discriminant analysis to further summarize the imaging characteristics of different populations. Results: Three different levels of L5 (10 cases), S1 (46 cases) and S2 (20 cases) were observed. ANOVA analysis showed that LL, SS, PT, PI, SS-PT, LL-SS and lordosis of L1-L5 (LL L1-L5 ) were significantly different among the three groups ( P < 0.05). Discriminant analysis showed that LL, SS, SS-PT and LL L1-L5 were the main factors affecting the estimated level of PSIS (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The variations of morphological parameters such as LL, SS, SS-PT and LL L1-L5 can affect the estimated level of PSIS, and the level can be predicted by the discriminant function. In the study, the function is D=-4.458+0.13×LL-0.115×SS+0.45× （SS-PT）+0.39×LL L1-L5 , which proved 71.1％ of the discriminant accuracy rate.

Published: September 2019

Introduction Colorectal (CRC) and Gastric (GC) cancers are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the North region of Brazil, these neoplasms are among the three most incident and aggressive types of cancer, constituting a severe problem of public health. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of xenobiotic metabolism and transporter genes may play a role in individual response to exposure to some of the compounds implicated in the cancer susceptibility. However, few studies have demonstrated the role of polymorphisms of xenobiotic metabolism and transporter genes in the susceptibility to CRC or GC in admixed populations. In this context, the study of variation in the activation and detoxification processes of xenobiotics may help to clarify the development of either GC or CRC in substructured populations, providing new insights about predictive diagnostic criteria in oncological investigations. MethodsWe performed an association study using 31 SNPs in 15 xenobiotic metabolism and transporter genes. The study was carried out in 121 CRC and 95 GC cases and 140 control individuals from Belém, a city which comprises a population with high levels of miscegenation, located in the Brazilian Amazon. Samples were genotyped using the QuantStudio™12K Flex Real-Time PCR System. Due to the high level of genetic admixture in the studied population, we applied a panel of 61 Ancestry Informative Marker standardized by our research group in an earlier study. Statistical analyses were performed in SPSS v.20.0 and Structure v.2.3.4ResultsThe results revealed a significant association between the increased CRC or GC risk and polymorphisms of ABCG2 (rs2231142) and DPYD genes (rs17116806, rs1801159). ConclusionsOur data suggest that polymorphisms in xenobiotic-metabolizing and transporter genes may be relevant to the susceptibility to both CRC and GC.
A novel approach to the classification of performance on inpatient perception of hospitalization experience across the US 52 states
Authors: Jen Tung-Hui , Chien Tsair-Wei , Chou Willy
Published: September 2019

Background: Medical groups identified as high-performing with different approaches have been proposed for classification of performance in the literature, but no consistently-applied approach exists for identifying high performers for the benefit of healthcare providers. Most organizations classify hospitals using domain scores and assign a letter grade (e.g., from A to F in Leapfrog Groups) to the performance level. Whether bibliometrics can be an alternative for classifying healthcare givers’ performances is worthy of study. This study was performed to visualize survey results about inpatients’ perceptions of hospitalization experience for the US states using bibliometrics. Methods: We downloaded the 2014 summaries of HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Services) data. Four indices of h, PI, Ag, and x were applied to evaluate performance based on the core domains derived from the ten domain scores for each state in the US, and then displayed online dashboards to show hospitalization satisfaction across states on Google Maps. Choropleth maps were plotted for classifying the performnces into six grades using the quantiles method.Results: The top three states for hihg quality-of-care are Louisiana, Nebraska, and South Dakota using either x or Ag-index to assess. The Ag-index earns the mean correlation coefficient (=0.86) higher than the other three. The inpatient perception of hospitalization experience or the US states were classified and displayed on choropleth maps. Conclusions: The classification of healthcare performance is sensitive to the domain scores, the approach in classification, and the choice of metrics. The absence of a consistently-applied approach to identify healthcare performers impedes efforts to reliably compare, select, and reward high-performing providers. The x-index is recommended for quantifying the performance of healthcare givers in the foreseeable future.
Protozoan pathogens Blastocystis and Giardia spp. in roof-harvested rainwater: the need to investigate the role of the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) and other potential sources of zoonotic transmission
Authors: Waters Edward , Ahmed Warish , Hamilton Kerry Ann , Plaksins Deniss , Stark Damian
Published: September 2019

Globally, protozoan pathogens are an increasingly important cause of reported disease outbreaks, with the majority of documented outbreaks between 2004 and 2010 reported in Australia. While the microbiological contamination of roof-harvested rainwater (RHRW) has been well studied, limited information is available regarding contamination with protozoan pathogens. In this study, rainwater (n = 134) and possum fecal samples (n = 20) were screened for the presence of several protozoan pathogens, including Blastocystis spp., Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp., Dientamoeba fragilis, and Entamoeba histolytica using the multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction. While Cryptosporidium spp. was only detected in two possum fecal samples (10%) and Giardia spp. was only detected in three RHRW samples (2.23%, n = 134), Blastocystis spp. was detected in both possum feces (25%) and RHRW (5.22%) samples. Dientamoeba fragilis and Entamoeba histolytica were not detected in any samples. These findings highlight protozoan pathogens as a potentially important area of focus for rainwater quality assessment. Furthermore, while possums are suggested as a potential source of Blastocystis spp. in RHRW, sources of this pathogen in RHRW warrant further investigation.

Naegleria fowleri causes the usually fatal disease primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), typically in people who have been swimming in warm, untreated freshwater. Recently, some cases in the United States were associated with exposure to treated drinking water. In 2013, a case of PAM was reported for the first time in association with the exposure to water from a US treated drinking water system colonized with culturable N. fowleri. This system and another were found to have multiple areas with undetectable disinfectant residual levels. In response, the water distribution systems were temporarily converted from chloramine disinfection to chlorine to inactivate N. fowleri and reduced biofilm in the distribution systems. Once >1.0 mg/L free chlorine residual was attained in all systems for 60 days, water testing was performed; N. fowleri was not detected in water samples after the chlorine conversion. This investigation highlights the importance of maintaining adequate residual disinfectant levels in drinking water distribution systems. Water distribution system managers should be knowledgeable about the ecology of their systems, understand potential water quality changes when water temperatures increase, and work to eliminate areas in which biofilm growth may be problematic and affect water quality.

The Use of Conformational Restriction in Medicinal Chemistry
Authors: de Sena M. Pinheiro Pedro , Rodrigues Daniel A. , do Couto Maia Rodolfo , Thota Sreekanth , Fraga Carlos A.M.
Published: September 2019

During the early preclinical phase, from hit identification and optimization to a lead compound,
several medicinal chemistry strategies can be used to improve potency and/or selectivity. The
conformational restriction is one of these approaches. It consists of introducing some specific structural
constraints in a lead candidate to reduce the overall number of possible conformations in order to favor
the adoption of a bioactive conformation and, as a consequence, molecular recognition by the target receptor.
In this work, we focused on the application of the conformational restriction strategy in the last
five years for the optimization of hits and/or leads of several important classes of therapeutic targets in
the drug discovery field. Thus, we recognize the importance of several kinase inhibitors to the current
landscape of drug development for cancer therapy and the use of G-protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR)
modulators. Several other targets are also highlighted, such as the class of epigenetic drugs. Therefore,
the possibility of exploiting conformational restriction as a tool to increase the potency and selectivity
and promote changes in the intrinsic activity of some ligands intended to act on many different targets
makes this strategy of structural modification valuable for the discovery of novel drug candidates.
Adoption and Attitudes of eHealth Among People Living With HIV and Their Physicians: Online Multicenter Questionnaire Study (Preprint)
Authors: Jacomet Christine , Ologeanu-Taddei Roxana , Prouteau Justine , Lambert Céline , Linard Françoise , Bastiani Pascale , Dellamonica Pierre
Published: September 2019

BACKGROUND

The development of electronic health (eHealth) has offered the opportunity for remote care provision. eHealth addresses issues for patients and professionals favoring autonomy and compliance, respectively, while fostering closer links both between patients and health care professionals and among health care professionals themselves.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to analyze the patterns of use, benefits, and perceived obstacles in eHealth among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and their caring physicians at hospitals.

METHODS

An online multicenter observational survey was conducted October 15-19, 2018 in 51 medical units across France by means of self-administered questionnaires to collect sociodemographic and medical data, and perceptions of eHealth. Multiple correspondence analysis followed by mixed unsupervised classification were performed to analyze data of the respondents.

RESULTS

A total of 279 PLHIV and 219 physicians responded to all parts of the questionnaire. Three groups of PLHIV were identified based on multivariate analysis. Group 1 comprised “eHealth believers” (121/279, 43.4%), who were more frequently above 60 years old and more likely to be receiving treatments other than antiretrovirals. Group 2, the “technology skeptics” (86/279, 30.8%), comprised more women with at least one child. Group 3, the “internet adopters” (72/279, 25.8%), were more frequently under 49 years of age, men who have sex with men, and more likely to use mobile apps for obtaining wellness/health information and related subjects. Three groups of physicians also emerged. Group 1 comprised those “strongly confident in eHealth” (95/219, 43.4%), who more frequently used mobile apps for wellness/health information and were more likely to accept prescription assistance software. Group 2 comprised physicians “strongly opposed to eHealth” (80/219, 36.5%), frequently asserting that eHealth challenges confidentiality. Group 3 were “open to eHealth” (44/219, 20.1%), comprising a higher proportion of infectious disease specialists, and were more likely to believe that medical apps are useful for patient education and information. No link was found between the groups of PLHIV and physicians.

CONCLUSIONS

The literature on eHealth mainly classifies people as enthusiasts and skeptics; however, we identified a third profile among both PLHIV and physicians, albeit without a direct link between them. For PLHIV, this third group is attentive to eHealth for improving their health condition, and for physicians, this group considers eHealth to offer benefits to patients and their own practice.
Use of the patientMpower App With Home-Based Spirometry to Monitor the Symptoms and Impact of Fibrotic Lung Conditions: Longitudinal Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Edwards Colin , Costello Eamonn , Cassidy Nicola , Vick Bill , Russell Anne-Marie
Published: September 2019

BACKGROUND

Daily home-based spirometry in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been shown to be feasible and clinically informative. The patientMpower app facilitates home-based spirometry along with home-based monitoring of IPF-related symptoms. The patientMpower app can be downloaded to the user’s mobile phone or tablet device, enabling the recording of objective and subjective data.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this paper is to report on the 1-year experience of using patientMpower with home-based spirometry by 36 participants with self-reported pulmonary fibrosis (PF) treated with usual care.

METHODS

Self-selecting participants enrolled in this community-based participatory research program through a patient advocacy group in their country: Irish Lung Fibrosis Association in Ireland and PF Warriors in the United States. Disease severity was comparable with a baseline mean predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) of 64% and 62% in the Irish and US participants, respectively. Both groups of participants were allocated to identical, in-country, open-label, single-group observational studies and were provided with a Bluetooth-active Spirobank Smart spirometer integrated directly with patientMpower. Data collected via patientMpower included seated FVC (daily), breathlessness grade (modified Medical Research Council scale score), step count, medication adherence, and symptoms and impact of IPF on daily life, which were measured by a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scale that was specifically developed for IPF. Longitudinal patient-reported data on oximetry and oxygen consumption were also collected.

RESULTS

A large majority of the 36 participants reported that their experience using patientMpower was positive, and they wanted to continue its use after the initial 6-week observation. Out of 36 participants, 21 (58%) recorded home-based spirometry without prompting for ≥180 days, and 9 (25%) participants continued with recording home-based spirometry for ≥360 days.

CONCLUSIONS

The patientMpower app with associated Bluetooth-connected devices (eg, spirometer and pulse oximeter) offers an acceptable and accessible approach to collecting patient-reported objective and subjective data in fibrotic lung conditions.

How Online Reviews and Services Affect Physician Outpatient Visits: Content Analysis of Evidence From Two Online Health Care Communities (Preprint)
Authors: Lu Wei , Wu Hong
Published: September 2019

BACKGROUND

Online healthcare communities are changing the ways of physician-patient communication and how patients choose outpatient care physicians. Although a majority of empirical work has examined the role of online reviews in consumer decisions, less research has been done in health care, and endogeneity of online reviews has not been fully considered. Moreover, the important factor of physician online services has been neglected in patient decisions.

OBJECTIVE

In this paper, we addressed the endogeneity of online reviews and examined the impact of online reviews and services on outpatient visits based on theories of reviews and channel effects.

METHODS

We used a difference-in-difference approach to account for physician- and website-specific effects by collecting information from 474 physician homepages on two online health care communities.

RESULTS

We found that the number of reviews was more effective in influencing patient decisions compared with the overall review rating. An improvement in reviews leads to a relative increase in physician outpatient visits on that website. There are channel effects in health care: online services complement offline services (outpatient care appointments). Results further indicate that online services moderate the relationship between online reviews and physician outpatient visits.

CONCLUSIONS

This study investigated the effect of reviews and channel effects in health care by conducting a difference-in-difference analysis on two online health care communities. Our findings provide basic research on online health care communities.

Authors: Asikin Munawar , Daryanto Arief , . Machfud , Dwijosumono Subagio
Published: September 2019

This study aims to analyze technical efficiency and evaluate the effect of some sources of inefficiency in the Indonesian fishery canned firms during the period of 1990-2015. We calculate technical efficiency using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method with Time Varying Decay. The average of technical efficiency in this industry during the period of 1990-2015 was only 57%. It indicates that firms in this industry still encounter a problem in allocating the resources in efficient manner.  However, during the period of 1994-2015, the efficiency in the Indonesian fishery canned industry has declined. We also employed the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to evaluate the sources of inefficiency. The results showed that eight variables affected to the efficiency in this industry, thereby it will reduce fishery product competitiveness in the future

Indústria criativa e mercado de trabalho: breves aproximações para a categoria da exploração do trabalho criativo
Authors: De Souza Thiago Cavalcante
Published: September 2019

No atual estágio do capitalismo contemporâneo, o capital e o trabalho assumiram uma dimensãotransnacional, sendo conectados globalmente por redes criativas de informação. Desse modo, a comunicação e acriatividade humana incorporaram um aspecto mercantil, dado que a capacidade de gerar, processar e aplicar ainformação e o conhecimento de forma eficiente segmentou um tipo particular de indústria, a criativa ecomputacional. Em face dessas questões, a demanda por trabalho apresentou importantes transformações, emque se destaca o aumento da procura por mão de obra especializada, além do crescimento da estruturaocupacional entre os setores econômicos que consideram a criatividade, a tecnologia e a inovação recursosprimários. Nessa perspectiva, este artigo investiga de que maneira a relação entre Criatividade e Dependênciaproposta por Celso Furtado e a teoria da Superexploração da Força de Trabalho de Ruy Mauro Marinidemonstram-se capazes de explicar a maneira pela qual o capital expropria-se do trabalho intelectual e cognitivo.Para o exercício realizado, serviu de referência a indústria criativa do Brasil e, para a análise, o instrumentoutilizado foi o método dedutivo. O trabalho conclui que a lógica de expropriação do trabalho nessa indústriacriativa ultrapassa a dimensão da exploração da força física, estendendo-se para à capacidade intelectual ecognitiva. Essa lógica alude a ideia de superexploração da força de trabalho pelo fato do salário pago aostrabalhadores não se demonstrar suficiente à recomposição do estímulo criativo. Ademais, o exercício dacriatividade não obedece, necessariamente, a uma jornada de trabalho fixa, o que estende a atividade laboral paraalém, mas sem uma compensação salarial pelo tempo adicional.

Os benefícios individuais e sociais proporcionados pela educação podem possibilitar a uma sociedadealcançar maiores níveis de crescimento e desenvolvimento econômico. Considerando a importância desse fato, opresente estudo objetivou investigar os determinantes do desempenho escolar no 5° ano do ensino fundamental,no âmbito da região Norte de Minas Gerais. A análise abrangeu a educação básica, por ser um dos principaispilares para a formação do capital humano, fator particularmente importante no contexto de uma região como anorte mineira, considerada uma das menos desenvolvidas do Estado. Utilizou-se como metodologias a Teoria deResposta ao Item e os modelos de regressão hierárquicos. Verificou-se, entre outros resultados, que aintervenção dos pais ou responsáveis e o capital cultural afetam positivamente a proficiência dos alunos, o quecoloca em evidência o papel do ambiente familiar e a necessidade premente de considerar esse aspecto naformulação de políticas educacionais.
A judicialização da política como instrumento para concretização de direitos fundamentais
Authors: Fonseca Claudia De Oliveira
Published: September 2019

A Constituição Federal de 1988 adotou como um dos seus princípios norteadores a dignidade dapessoa humana e, para concretizar esse ideal, lançou mão de um rol de direitos fundamentais, capazes de garantiruma existência digna ao cidadão. É nesse cenário de efetivação dos direitos prestacionais, negligenciados pelosdemais poderes estatais, que se começa a perceber a transferência de decisões do âmbito político para o PoderJudiciário, fenômeno denominado de "judicialização da política”. A pesquisa busca investigar como ajudicialização da política vem sendo debatida no contexto de concretização de direitos essenciais e se justificapela importância da discussão sobre a necessidade de impor limites à atuação do Poder Judiciário, de modo queele não venha a interferir na esfera de atuação dos demais poderes. Com a intenção de confrontar oposicionamento dos defensores e opositores da judicialização da política, o estudo se pautou em revisãobibliográfica, utilizando, principalmente, as obras de Ran Hirschl, Luís Roberto Barroso, Antoine Garapon,Mauro Cappelletti, dentre outros. A pesquisa aponta que apesar de o Poder Judiciário não ter a aprovaçãopopular na escolha de seus membros, não se pode questionar a sua atuação no âmbito de concretização dedireitos essenciais, pois apesar de se tratar de atuação contramajoritária, tem se revelado como instrumento capazde neutralizar a opressão das maiorias contra as minorias, de modo a garantir a efetividade do textoconstitucional.

Published: September 2019

Fossil fuel thermal power plants are major investments for electricity production despite of their environmental drawbacks. Using solar energy in a hybrid manner with these power plants a sensible and an economical choice for advanced power generation.  In this study, thermodynamic analysis and simulation of a steam turbine power plant hybrid with parabolic trough solar collector field is done. Design process includes selection of heat transfer fluid (HTF), determination of the required solar power, orientation and sizing of the solar field, preliminary design of the solar heat exchanger (HEX) and thermodynamic analysis of the hybrid plant. After verification of computational model, simulations of steam power plant and hybrid power plant are done and results for increasing output electricity and saving fuel oil are studied considering the efficiency improvement and the environmental effects. Important solar field parameters like HTF, glass and absorber temperatures, heat loss coefficients and output power of the collector field are simulated and discussed. Finally, a simple economic analysis is done using levelized cost of energy method (LCOE) which showed that hybridization is economically sound.  The study also suggests that, hybridization is a sensible choice for increasing efficiency and output power, decreasing use of fossil fuels, thus environment problems. The orientation of the hybrid connection plays an important role on these parameters.

Se expone una esquematización conceptual, tomada como base para comprender como se genera la construcción social del territorio desde la gestión de las conflictividades que se desarrollan en este, a partir de la planificación para el desarrollo y un caso de estudio ejecutado en el Pacífico Central de Costa Rica, en función de la gestión de un área marina de pesca Responsable en las comunidades denominadas Paquera y Tambor en la Península de Nicoya. El mar como territorio parte desde una construcción social del espacio, de las diversas interrelaciones entre actores, pero además tiene como base una correlación de fuerzas de pesos y contrapesos que gestionan los procesos organizativos que ahí se desarrollan. Con base a las interacciones entre los diversos actores en el territorio se generan transformaciones que tienen implicaciones en los procesos de desarrollo y de planificación, vinculadas con la gestión institucional.
