Alteração da largura em canal fluvial após assoreamento induzido por corridas de lama e detritos: estudo no rio Jacareí – litoral do Paraná
Authors: Paz Otacílio Lopes de Souza da , Paula Eduardo Vedor de
Published: February 2022

A largura do canal pode ser afetada por alterações no regime hidrológico ou por intervenções antrópicas. Eventos de corridas de lama e de detritos podem resultar em assoreamento de canal, ampliando sua largura, conforme exemplificado no processo que ocorreu em 2011 no trecho de planície do rio Jacareí (Litoral do Paraná). Objetiva-se analisar as alterações na largura do canal do rio Jacareí decorrentes do assoreamento induzido por evento extremo e pelas intervenções antrópicas posteriores. Propõem-se um roteiro metodológico para mensuração comparativa da largura de canais fluviais em ambiente SIG. O rio Jacareí teve significativas alterações na largura no período analisado, dividido em trechos alargados tanto pelo intenso assoreamento como por intervenções antrópicas. No trecho alargado pelo assoreamento, constatou-se um processo de retorno a condições de equilíbrio antes de o sistema ser perturbado pelo evento de 2011. Já no trecho do canal afetado por intervenções antrópicas, as larguras se mantiveram estáveis, provavelmente em função das características da obra efetuada (abertura e desassoreamento).

Authors: Silva Sirlene Alves da , Oliveira Maria de Fátima , Vila Verde Giuliana Muniz
Published: February 2022

A Serra dos Pireneus, situada no Cerrado goiano, é composta por uma natureza marcante. A riqueza de recursos naturais coloca-a como referência turística no estado de Goiás. O lugar é também palco de um importante acontecimento religioso, a Romaria da Santíssima Trindade – festa do catolicismo popular – que ocorre anualmente no plenilúnio do mês de julho há quase 100 anos. O culto festivo constitui-se tanto de rituais religiosos, quanto da apreciação da natureza e de atividades de lazer. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a inter-relação entre a diversidade e riqueza da Serra dos Pireneus com a Romaria, associando os elementos que abarcam o natural, o social e o religioso. A investigação parte dos seguintes questionamentos: o conhecimento e a tomada de consciência sobre a importância da biodiversidade do Cerrado podem influenciar no modo como os visitantes e os romeiros se relacionam com este espaço? Qual a conexão entre a natureza, o sagrado e o lazer? A importância desta pesquisa se justifica também pelo fato de se tratar de um parque estadual e área de proteção ambiental. Quanto à metodologia, o estudo pautou-se tanto em pesquisa bibliográfica, quanto no trabalho de campo e em registros fotográficos.

Svrha je rada pokazati da su razvoj i primjena umjetne inteligencije povezani sa specifičnim političkim interesima i nadmetanjem za moć između
velikih svjetskih sila. Snažne države i velike korporacije investiraju puno
resursa u razvoj umjetne inteligencije, kao i u njezinu primjenu u različitim
poljima, od oglašavanja do projektila. Plauzibilno je pretpostaviti da one
vjeruju da će uspješna primjena umjetne inteligencije održati ili povećati
njihovo bogatstvo i moć. U ovome radu autor uspoređuje različite nacionalne strategije vezane uz umjetnu inteligenciju i njezinu ulogu u globalnom nadmetanju za moć, kao i njezine moguće rezultate. Priča o umjetnoj
inteligenciji može se ispričati kao stara priča o borbi za moć. No, umjetna
inteligencija mijenja i način na koji percipiramo raspodjelu moći u svijetu
te predviđamo moguće njezine posljedice.

Millennium Development Goals and Status of Health Services in Morigaon District of Assam
Authors:   Associate Professor, Jagiroad College, Kr Sarma Dr. Bhupen
Published: February 2022

The proposal of the Millennium Declaration in 2000 by all United Nations Member States marked an historic moment, as world leaders committed to tackle extreme poverty in its many dimensions and create a better life for everyone. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) translate this commitment into a framework of measurable goals and targets by which progress can be measured. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that all 193 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. The goals are eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality and empowering women reducing child mortality rates, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing a global partnership for development. Among these eight goals three goals are directly related to human health. As a first step in Assam’s Model District, Morigaon, the project has created a multi-sectoral team of health, nutrition, water, and education officials to focus activities on maternal and child health. The project also focused on improved training for Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), the critical community based health workers that mobilize women and children for health services within the villages. The project will also focus on training nurses in better antenatal care delivery, which is vital for lowering the risk of maternal death, and will introduce mobile phone technologies so that data can be collected—and mothers and babies tracked-throughout rural areas that are difficult to access.
Multi-Objective Optimization of Manufacturing Lot Size Under Stochastic Demand
Authors:   Moi University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Manufacturing, Industrial and Textile Engineering, P.O. Box 3900-30100, Eldoret, Kenya and Kyambogo University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering, P.O. Box 1,, Nalubowa S. Maureen

In many manufacturing problems, multi-objective optimizations are representative models, as objectives are considered a conflict with one another. In real-life applications, optimizing a specific solution concerning one objective may end up in unacceptable results concerning the other objectives. Many Manufacturing companies operate under uncertainties and this affects the system performance. Stochastic product demand is one of the challenges faced by manufacturing companies and often affects the manufacturing system’s performance and decision-making. Making the proper decisions regarding manufacturing lot-sizing problems is critical for any manufacturer because it makes the firm compete within the market. In this paper, Markov chains in conjunction with stochastic goal programming were used to develop an optimization model for the manufacturing lot size. The over-achievement or under-achievement of the manufacturing lot size was determined by defining the goal constraints, deviation variables, priorities, and objective function. The different states of demand for the product with stochastic demand were represented by states of a Markov chain. Using the applied mathematics solver in MATLAB TM, the optimization model was then solved, determining the quantity of product to be manufactured in a given quarter of the year as demand changes from one state to another.

Authors:   Faculty of Islamic Economic and Business, Universitas Islam Negeri Datokrama Palu, Indonesia, Malarangan Hilal
Published: February 2022

This study aimed to determine the entrepreneurial strategy of village housewives in the Donggala district from the perspective of Islamic economics. The research was conducted using qualitative methods, and data collection was carried out through observation and in-depth interviews with several housewives who are entrepreneurial. Data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results showed that the entrepreneurial strategy carried out by housewives in Donggala Regency was by changing the menu and adding products according to the wishes and needs of buyers. The product's price prioritizes the social aspect, namely by not taking much profit. Places, where products are sold, are marketed directly to buyers, such as selling in front of the house or to markets close to the local community. However, some products are also sold indirectly, namely by entrusting their products to kiosks. Meanwhile, promotion is done by selling directly and through social media (Facebook). Judging from the Islamic economy, the entrepreneurial strategy carried out by housewives is more focused on trading with Islamic ethics that is halal and beneficial and does not make much profit. Entrepreneurial mothers also always keep their business premises clean and promote products that can be accounted for. The entrepreneurial strategy of housewives is also carried out by paying attention to the nature of shiddiq or being honest in trading by not increasing or decreasing the size of the product. Then the women traders also behave in a trustworthy manner in serving buyers and fathanah with mutual respect between family members, employees, and buyers. Submission of information about the product is also carried out with tabligh or product promotion carried out honestly and correctly.

Financial comparative study between post-tensioned and reinforced concrete flat slab
Authors: Ahmad Omar
Published: February 2022

As for today, post-tensioned slabs gained much popularity and started to be widely used among construction companies all around the world. As we refer to the structural members, we acknowledge that the price of the slab is much higher in comparison to the other structural members like columns, beams, or foundation in accordance to the amount of steel and concrete in it. A comparative study has been done between post-tensioned, and reinforced concrete flat slab to compare how much each slab cost. It describes that since the post-tension slabs are thinner and it provides fewer columns, so the amount of concrete required is less than the required amount in a flat slab. Special steel tendons that are used in post-tensioned slabs will be stretched by a hydraulic jack after the casting of concrete, and these tendons have an effect in reducing the reinforcement steel bars. Although tendons are used only in post-tension slabs, the amount of steel used in it is less compared to flat slabs. Furthermore, the contractor work cost differs from doing the post-tensioned slab and flat slab. The study had been done by comparing the amount of concrete, steel and contractor work cost. The results obtained from the comparative study between post-tension slabs and reinforcement concrete flat slabs indicate that post-tensioned slabs are cheaper.
Corrosion in marine and offshore steel structures: Classification and overview
Authors: Abo Nassar Nour Eldeen
Published: February 2022

Marine services and industry have emerged as one of the most significant pillars of global economic growth. Corrosion of materials, on the other hand, is still the most important issue for marine structures and equipment. Corrosion is a major contributor to the degradation of marine and offshore structures. It has an effect on the life of process equipment, and might lead to structural failure, leakage, product degradation, contamination, and even death. It is important to investigate the mechanisms of material corrosion in the marine environment, as well as corrosion prevention methods, in order to make effective use of marine resources. Various mitigation techniques, like the utilization of coatings, cathodic protection, and corrosion allowance are utilized to protect offshore structures against corrosion. In general, the marine environment has a significant impact on the protection of offshore structures. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to give an overview about corrosion of marine structures, how it happens and some of the current prevention techniques.

The hospitality industry performs a significant role in promoting the development of a country’s economy. It is seen as the leading huge revenue earner in the service industry. This study is designed to establish the responsibility of customer product identification in mediating the link between service quality and customer loyalty of hotels in Plateau State. The research adopted a quantitative technique, and data were collected through a survey technique and then analyzed using SPSS. SPSS version 23 was used to determine the potency of the developed variables of the investigation, while the same analytical tool was also utilized to assess the validity and reliability of the variables. Based on the findings of this current study, all proposed hypotheses were proven significant. The finding buttresses the significance of service quality in enhancing customers’ loyalty and brand identification, similarly, customer brand identification correlates significantly with customer brand loyalty. The study also revealed that customer brand identification mediated the link between service quality and client loyalty in the hotel industry in Plateau State. Centered on the outcomes of this investigation, we conclude that perceived service quality does influence customer brand identification, which precedes customer brand loyalty in the hotel subsector. We, therefore, recommend that hotel owners must build up and employ market-oriented service tactics to ascertain customers’ desires and hopes in line to serve the customers better. Furthermore, hotel owners should evaluate service quality frequently to guarantee that they are constantly experiencing the expectations of customers, and contemplate modifying their products and services to improve brand identity and loyalty.

Diversity of the workforce means differences and similarities between people working in an organization. This diversity can be in terms of age, ethnicity, types of cognition, employment, appearance, education, ethnic groups, family background, social status, community, and more. Therefore, people who work in an organization with different demographic backgrounds make a diverse workforce. Diversity and inclusion are the mission, policies, and procedures of an organization to facilitate a diverse workforce and leverage the benefits of diversity to achieve a competitive business advantage. The notion of diversity and inclusion of the workforce gained tremendous popularity with globalization and the need for companies to expand their business internationally to reach consumers worldwide. A diverse workforce is reflecting a changing world and market place. A diverse work environment is the utmost priority at Wipro. Diversity and inclusion play a vital role in organizational sustainability. This study focuses on the analysis of diversity and inclusion practices followed by Wipro to improve productivity.
Cyber Attacks Mitigation: Detecting Malicious Activities in Network Traffic – A Review of Literature
Authors: Prabhu Sangeetha , Bhat Subrahmanya
Published: February 2022

Cyber-attacks are becoming more common and over the last decade, many attacks have made top news, targeting manufacturing firms and governmental organisations. Such attacks have triggered substantial financial damage and they've been trying to obstruct key public sector operations. Furthermore, as the Internet of Things (IoT) has arisen, the number of Internetconnected devices is increasingly growing and being an easy target of cyber-attacks. To counter cyber-attacks, information security researchers rely extensively on intrusion detection systems (IDSs) that can identify suspicious activities by comparing patterns of documented attacks or detecting anomaly-based activities. This survey aims to tackle Trust, Protection, identification and activity on wide scale networks and Internet of Things. The proposed research aims at developing a practically deployable cyber security solution to one or more of the cyber-attacks. Multi-Stage Attacks (MSAs), APT, DoS attacks, wireless injection attacks, botnets or other malicious activities will be investigated. In this literature survey, we are highlighting the work Performed throughout the area of cyber security by various researchers, various types of cyber-attacks and its stages, various approaches to prevent cyber-attacks, different challenges faced by a preventer, and some gaps in the research. This literature review is carried out by using the secondary data obtained from peer-reviewed journals and other sources on the web. This review aims to explain Detecting Malicious Activities in Network Traffic.
Claude Lefort: marxismo, burocracia, totalitarismo.
Authors: Vezzetti Hugo
Published: February 2022

El artículo investiga la obra temprana de Claude Lefort. Se concentra en la crítica marxista del modelo soviético que comenzó en la posguerra y prolongó sus efectos más allá de la muerte de Stalin. Indaga los comienzos de un pensamiento que se rehusaba a la visión bipolar de la “Guerra Fría” y encontraba en la impugnación del régimen soviético un modo de intervenir tempranamente en los debates teóricos y políticos del marxismo. El trabajo se concentra en las polémicas que Lefort despliega en Les Temps Modernes [ltm] y en Socialisme ou Barbarie [sob]. En un primer tiempo, Lefort introduce en ltm la cuestión de los campos de concentración soviéticos. En un segundo tiempo, hacia 1952, el problema era más claramente la urss, la clase y, por extensión, el papel del partido en la estrategia revolucionaria. Es el tiempo de una polémica bifurcada, con Jean-Paul Sartre en ltm y con Cornelius Castoriadis en sob. Finalmente, hacia 1956, los focos críticos se extienden a las repercusiones del xx Congreso del pcus y el debate sobre la revolución y la contrarrevolución en Hungría.
Bibliotecas populares elementales.
Authors: Planas Javier
Published: February 2022

En la década de 1910 la Comisión Protectora de Bibliotecas Populares de la Argentina elaboró una política de expansión del campo denominada bibliotecas populares elementales. El objetivo era consolidar una política cultural de afirmación del sentimiento nacional, contra los dilemas que, en la perspectiva oficial, habían generado la inmigración y las ideologías de izquierda. Para reconstruir y comprender el modo en que se construyó un diagnóstico de la realidad bibliotecaria y se produjo una estrategia como respuesta, se estudia el libro de actas del organismo, sus publicaciones y otros documentos de interés. Tres aspectos constituyen las variables de análisis principales: (a) las características generales de la propuesta; (b) los argumentos políticos, culturales y sociales que la justificaron; (c) las realizaciones que tuvo entre 1912 y 1921. Entre las conclusiones, se destaca la voluntad estatal por vertebrar el campo bibliotecario argentino y, a partir de él, participar en la formación de los ciudadanos.

Teología e historia: el marxismo trágico y esperanzado de Terry Eagleton
Authors: Blanco Gonzalia Sergio
Published: February 2022

El propósito de este artículo es abordar el modo en que Terry Eagleton se distancia de toda teleología triunfalista proponiendo, en cambio, una perspectiva trágica de la historia, la cual, desde su perspectiva, no resulta impugnadora de la esperanza sino que es condición para ella. Así, Eagleton se sirve de nociones teológicas para sustentar su visión trágica de la historia, y de esa manera ofrecer una respuesta ante la ruina de la interpretación historicista y teleológica del devenir, la cual fue predominante en el marxismo del siglo XX.
Abordajes teórico-normativos en torno a políticas sanitarias y a problemáticas vivenciadas por mujeres mapuce en la atención sanitaria
Authors: Rodríguez Garat Cintia Daniela
Published: February 2022

En este artículo se plantean las bases del marco ético-normativo que intervienen en la atención sanitaria de las mujeres en general, y de las mujeres mapuce, en particular. Posteriormente, se realiza un abordaje de las mujeres indígenas analizando su situación concreta, a partir de considerar de manera crítica la confluencia intersectorial de distintos sistemas opresivos que articulan las relaciones de género, clase y etnia. Para ello, el planteo se centrará en el estudio de esta problemática desde la perspectiva feminista latinoamericana, que será, seguidamente, retomada y contrastada desde la voz propia de mujeres que se autoidentifican como mapuce. El objetivo del artículo se centra en poner de manifiesto las múltiples dificultades que presentan las mujeres indígenas en el acceso a la salud, con el propósito de justificar la necesidad de articular políticas públicas que promuevan la democratización del acceso sanitario, en tanto derecho humano. Para ello, realizaremos un abordaje teórico-normativo que ponga en evidencia las responsabilidades éticas y políticas del Estado, como ente garante del acceso a la salud de sus ciudadanos, en particular de los más vulnerados, como lo son las mujeres de comunidades indígenas en nuestro país.

Published: February 2022

Objectives: To study the quantum and pattern of the COVID-19-related medical research publications that had contributions from researchers in Oman, using bibliometric analysis. Methods: Data on the COVID-19-related medical research publications with contributions from authors in Oman were sourced from the Scopus database. The main search keywords were ‘COVID-19’ and ‘Oman’. The search included data from 1 December 2019 till 21 August 2021. A bibliometric method utilizing citation analysis and science mapping was applied to the selected data. VOSviewer software was used for constructing and visualizing various bibliometric networks. Results: The search query returned 360 documents which included those by authors from Oman. After excluding 83 of these due to irrelevance, 277 documents were finally selected for analysis. Three macro research themes emerged: treatment of COVID-19 cases, epidemiology and impact of COVID-19, and etiology and clinical manifestations of COVID-19. A total of 4533 sources were cited in the selected 277 documents. Most articles were published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases (IJID),followed byOman Medical Journal, and SultanQaboos University Medical Journal. The most cited references included theLancet,followed by theNew England Journal of Medicine,and the Journal of the American Medical Association. The largest number of papers were authored by researchers from Sultan Qaboos University followed by the Oman Ministry of Health. Regarding the number of citations received per paper, the top rank went to the Ministry of Health, followed by Sultan Qaboos University Hospital and Khoula Hospital. Conclusions: Oman has significantly contributed to the COVID-19-related medical knowledge despite the challenges of conducting research amidst the increased workload during the pandemic. Most publications in Oman were collaborative projects. Based on the evaluated literature, further research focusing on vaccines and therapeutics is warranted.
