Published: November 2019

In the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Department of Cultural Flora), which is located in the north of the right bank of the forest-steppe zone, is being conducted for the introduction tests of plants of the species of the genus Isodon (Schrad. Ex Benth.) Spach. Representatives of this genus by number of species are most concentrated in East Asia – China, Korea and Japan, where they have long been known as medicinal plants and are used in traditional medicine, in particular, for the treatment of oncological diseases.In Ukraine, the Isodon genus is little known. During 2012–2018, the object of complex research was Isodon japonicus (N. Z. Burm) Hara var. glaucocalyx (Maxim.) H.W. Li. The article presents the results of studying the large life cycle of this plant species during the introduction. To establish age periods and plant conditions, classical methodical approaches are applied.The descriptive part of the work presents key morphological features that reflect changes in the shoot and root systems that a plant experiences during life. According to the duration of the study period, it was found that individuals of I. japonicus var. glaucocalyx undergo pregenerative and generative periods of development and all age states corresponding to them. It has been established that seedlings are characterized by the presence of two cotyledon leaves of a renal form, having a notch at the apex, and fragmentary lignification of root sections, which is a rather rare phenomenon. Juvenile plants lose cotyledon leaves, the shoot from the round becomes four-sided, the main root thickens. In immature plants, the shoot is stretched by lengthening the internodes, the leaves acquire the signs and dimensions of the present. In the virginal state, second-order shoots develop in plants, rhizome begins to form. For young generative individuals, there are 2–3 shoots, the development of a pair of skeletal roots, the beginning of the formation of caudex. This age condition begins for the vast majority of individuals in the first year of life. Adult generative plants reach a maximum in the development of the shoot and root systems: they have 3–5 vegetative-generative shoots, many-headed dense caudex. Spring renewal takes place: from the renewal buds – vegetative-generative shoots, dormant buds – vegetative shoots and from the buds of the plagiotropic rhizomes – partial single-shoot plants. This age condition lasts for three years. The age state of old generative individuals begins from the sixth year of plant life and is characterized by attenuation of organ-forming processes. This leads to a weakening of the escapes and root system and to the disruptive irreversible changes of the latter

Published: November 2019

Inflammatory changes in the kidney that occurred in the early postoperative period due to surgical trauma, deterioration of microcirculation, hypoxia, are significant risk factors for the development of renal function violation. The aim of this work is to study the effect of the combined drug Uriclar (Asfarma-Ros) on the kidneys adaptive capability in the early postoperative period as a response to operative trauma of patients with complicated urolithiasis. The effect of surgical intervention percutaneous puncture nephrolithotripsy on the blood content of proteins of the acute phase of inflammation and cystatin C was studied. The results of examination of 35 patients (20 the main group and 15 the control group) were analyzed. The median age was 51 8.4 years. 20 patients of the main group began receiving Uriclar 2 capsules (430 mg) twice a day for 5 days before surgery and continued it for 1 month after surgery. Patients from the control group in the pre- and postoperative periods didnt receive Uriclar. The median age was 51 8.4 years. There was a statistically significant increase in the level of cystatin C and changes in biochemical markers in the patients of the main group only that indicates the presence of adaptogenic effect of Uriclar. Thus, the inclusion of a combined drug Uriclar in a complex treatment of patients with urolithiasis allows disturbed biological and adaptive functions of the kidneys to be corrected in the early postoperative period.

Published: November 2019

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Tadalafil-SZ in treatment of erectile dysfunction in men suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus or prediabetes. Two patient groups of thirty people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes were identified. Patients mean age was 52.2 3.4 years and 48.5 2.8 years in groups with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes respectively. All patients suffered from erectile dysfunction, which significantly reduced their quality of life. To assess the erectile function, the ICEF (International Index of Erectile Function) and QoL (Quality of Life) questionnaires were used. Patients with prediabetes took Tadalafil-SZ 5 mg once a day for 3 months and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus took Tadalafil-SZ 20 mg 2 times a week (Monday and Thursday) for 3 months as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. Results of this study showed that the administration of Tadalafil-SZ not only led to a significant improvement in the quality of life, a significant reduction in weight, body mass index, waist size in patients of both groups, but also led to a glycated hemoglobin level normalization without increasing the dose of glucose-lowering therapy in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes mellitus and a pronounced decrease in morning insulin levels measured in the blood in patients with prediabetes. Almost half of patients in both groups increased testosterone blood level. According to the ICEF questionnaire, erectile function was significantly improved: in the group of patients with prediabetes: the ICEF-5 index prior to taking Tadalafil-SZ averaged 18.68 points (mild ED) whereas after taking the drug, a statistically significant increase in the ICEF index to an average of 23.02 points (p 0.05) was observed, which indicates the absence of erectile dysfunction in this group of patients during intake of Tadalafil-SZ. In the 2nd group of patients (with type 2 diabetes mellitus), the ICEF-5 index before treatment averaged 12.18 points, which reflects the average degree of erectile dysfunction, and at the end of the study there was a statistically significant increase in the ICEF-5 index to 18.44 points on average, which indicates a decrease in the severity of erectile dysfunction from moderate to mild (p 0.05). Overall Tadalafil-SZ is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction in both patients with prediabetes and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Published: November 2019

Treatment of patients with chronic pelvic pain is one of the most difficult tasks of modern medicine. Recently, surgical neuromodulation has been increasingly used to treat chronic pain syndrome. The positive experience of chronic sacral stimulation usage in patients with pelvic organ dysfunction accompanied by pain syndrome determines the appropriateness of further search for effective methods of chronic pelvic pain treatment, for example, its combination with stimulation of peripheral nerves. The article presents a clinical observation of a patient suffering from chronic pelvic pain for a long time, who underwent chronic electrical stimulation of the sacral roots in combination with sacral nerve stimulation. After the first year of treatment, a decrease in pain intensity on the visual analog scale from 8 to 3 points, depression on the Zips from 14 to 10 points and a decrease in the indicator on the anxiety scale from 14 to 11 points was observed. The patients quality of life was improved, pain attacks were decreased, daily motor activity was increased, self-service along with social communication indicators were improved and the need for medicines was decreased.
Guided wave approach to interpret impulse response testing results for piles
Authors: Wang H
Published: November 2019

The impulse response method has been applied to the integrity testing of piles for many years and constant velocity one-dimensional (1D) wave theory is conventionally used to interpret the test results. However, there are three-dimensional (3D) effects in the wave responses of piles,
so this research uses 3D guided wave theory to analyse the impulse response results. This proposed approach is verified on five piles with different diameters and lengths. The resulting analysis indicates that guided wave theory can efficiently identify the phase velocities at their corresponding
resonant frequencies, which are found in the testing spectrum using the concept of resonance. The measured phase velocity is mostly predictable within ±2% along the theoretically determined curve, with velocity slightly reducing as frequency increases.
Mapping of ultrasonic thickness measurements using laser grid projection and image processing
Authors: Tesfaye T , Mohammed M S , Ki-Seong K
Published: November 2019

A three-dimensional surface mapping method for ultrasonic thickness measurements is proposed to enable the dimensions and positions of measured values obtained by the conventional ultrasonic thickness gauges and flaw detectors on curved surfaces to be determined. The proposed system
consists of a laser pattern generator and image processing methods. The laser grid produced by the pattern generator is projected onto the surface of the item to be inspected, mathematical relationships are developed to localise the grid nodes on the inspection surface and images are then
captured using a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera. An image processing algorithm is developed to plot the scanned surface. The measurements performed using a thickness gauge are correlated with the plotted surface, which will enable thickness mapping. The experiments were
carried out on a pipe with an artificial metal loss defect and the results showed that the developed method can accurately locate measured thickness values on a three-dimensional plotted surface.

Published: November 2019

Austenitic stainless steels are widely used in the key components of major equipment and the welds can be the weakest parts of equipment made with these materials. Ultrasonic waves propagate in austenitic stainless steel welds with multiple paths and modes. This study employed a multi-view
total focusing method using an ultrasonic phased array for defect detection in the welds of small-diameter austenitic stainless steel pipes. The detection capability of four different direct wave modes and eight different half-skip wave modes for typical defects were compared and analysed
through numerical simulation. A fusion imaging method was developed using the preferred direct and half-skip wave modes. The process was further verified with a weld defect detection experiment carried out on small-diameter austenitic stainless steel pipes. The results show that the multi-view
total focusing method can efficiently detect the defects in the welds of small-diameter tubes. Compared with the single-mode imaging method, the fusion total focusing imaging approach can not only improve the signal-to-noise ratio but can also reduce the number of image artefacts.
Nonlinear Rheology at Shallow Depths with Reference to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes
Authors: Sleep Norman H. , Nakata Nori
Published: November 2019

Strong S waves produce dynamic stresses, which bring the shallow subsurface into nonlinear inelastic failure. We examine implications of nonlinear viscous flow, which may be appropriate for shallow muddy soil, and contrast them with those of Coulomb friction within a shallow reverberating uppermost layer with low‐seismic velocities. Waves refract into essentially vertical paths at the shallow layers and produce tractions on horizontal planes. The Coulomb ratio of shear traction to lithostatic stress for S waves equals the resolved horizontal acceleration normalized to the acceleration of gravity. The ratio of dynamic vertical normal traction to lithostatic stresses is the vertical normalized acceleration from P waves. The predicted viscous inelastic strain rate in muddy soil begins at low normalized accelerations and then increases mildly and nonlinearly with increasing normalized acceleration. Failure is unaffected when P waves decrease the vertical normal traction. Seismic waves recorded at KiK‐net station KMMH16 for the 2016 Kumamoto mainshock and strong foreshock show these effects. Inelastic deformation commences at a normalized horizontal acceleration of ∼0.25 and reduces S‐ and P‐wave velocities within the uppermost ∼15  m reverberating layer. Normalized horizontal accelerations and the Coulomb stress ratio reach ∼1.25. Strong S waves arrived even when strong P waves produced vertical tension on horizontal planes. In contrast, inelastic Coulomb failure commences at a normalized horizontal acceleration equal to the effective coefficient of friction; rapid inelastic strain precludes even higher accelerations. Furthermore, horizontal planes should fail from the stresses of strong S waves during the tensional cycle of strong P waves.

Published: November 2019

Damping modification factors (DMFs) are important for estimating the response spectrum for the design of structures with different damping ratios. This study investigated the effects of earthquake source parameters (magnitude, source depth, and source categories), source distance (the closest distance from a site to a fault plane for large earthquakes and hypocentral distance for the other events), and site conditions on DMFs for the displacement and acceleration response spectra of the horizontal components of the records from Japan. This study used a total of 14,713 strong‐motion records from the KiK‐net and K‐NET to compare the DMFs from three earthquake category groups, namely shallow crustal and upper mantle, subduction interface, and subduction slab earthquakes. Statistical tests were carried out to determine whether the DMFs from these three types of earthquakes differ significantly from each other. The test results show that, between each pair of the three types of earthquakes, the DMFs for both displacement and acceleration response spectra differ significantly in terms of statistical tests and practically for engineering applications at many spectral periods, with the largest difference over 40%. The effects of earthquake category and site conditions for acceleration spectrum are similar to those of the displacement spectrum at short periods up to about 0.3 s but are much larger than those of the displacement spectrum at long spectral periods. The effects of magnitude and earthquake depth are also significant. Therefore, separate DMF models for the response spectrum of the horizontal component should be derived for each type of earthquake and should account for the effects of earthquake source and path parameters and site conditions.
On the Integrated Surface Uplift for Dip‐Slip Faults
Authors: Segall Paul , Heimisson Elías Rafn
Published: November 2019

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar observations often provide maps of vertical displacement that can be integrated to estimate an uplift volume. Relating this measure to source processes requires a model of the deformation. Bignami et al. (2019) argue that the negative uplift volume associated with the 2016 Amatrice–Norcia, central Italy, earthquake sequence requires a coseismic volume collapse of the hanging wall. Using results for dip‐slip dislocations in an elastic half‐space we show that Vuplift=(P/4)(1−2ν)sin(2δ), in which P is the seismic potency, ν is the Poisson’s ratio, and δ is the fault dip, consistent with an earlier result of Ward (1986). For reasonable estimates of net potency for the 2016 Amatrice–Norcia sequence, this simple formula yields uplift volume estimates close to that observed. We conclude that the data are completely consistent with elastic dislocation theory and do not require a volume collapse at depth.
Older and More Experienced? Comparing Mainland Chinese International Students in Canada on Social Cognitive Correlates of Leisure Time Physical Activity, Acculturation, and Mental Health by Study Year
Authors: Curtin Kimberley D. , Berry Tanya R. , Walker Gordon J.
Published: November 2019

Background: Physical activity is a mandatory component of many university programs in China and there is evidence that Chinese students value physical activity for health (Chen & Liu, 2008); however, academics are generally prioritized as students advance in their studies (Ha, Macdonald, & Pang, 2010). Among international students in the United States, Asian students were found to have some of the lowest rates of physical activity, which could be linked with many combinations of cultural, environmental, and individual barriers (Yoh, Yang, & Gordon, 2008). Physical activity may aid in healthy transitions for Chinese international students. Aim: Chinese international students were compared by study year on physical activity, mental health, culture, and social cognitive theory variables. Method: First year (n = 92), second year (n = 52), and senior (n = 77) international students studying in Canada were compared on physical activity, self-efficacy, intention, access, stress, acculturative stress, subjective well-being, acculturation, and self-construal. The relationships between the social cognitive, mental health, culture variables, and physical activity were also compared. Results: Senior students perceived fewer places to do physical activity and more discrimination compared to first- and second-year students. Senior students experienced more academic pressure and guilt towards their family compared to second year students. First year students reported more general stress compared to second year students. Self-efficacy, intention, and exercise to reduce stress shared relationships with vigorous physical activity. Subjective well-being was related to moderate physical activity, and self-efficacy and independent self-construal were related to walking. Walking decreased by study year. Conclusions: Physical activity may be used to improve mental health for Chinese international students, but interventions may need to be adjusted or implemented depending on the academic stage of the student.
TYPES OF DEONTIC AGENT IN POLITICAL SPEECH (ON THE MATERIAL OF GERMAN AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES)
Authors: Sytko A. W.
Published: November 2019

This study is dedicated to the problem of semantic and functional variability of deontic constructions. Deontic is an invariant characteristic of any discourse, which, depending on its type, organizes modal structures in different ways. In relation to the actions of an obligatory change in the state of affairs in the world, this modality is expressed by a statement in which there are two plans: informative, (action to perform) and deontic, including information about various factors that require creating a different state of affairs, about the nature of the modal attitude to action (mandatory, prohibited or permitted) and about the performer of the action, i.e. about the modal source, modal force and modal agents. The functional features of deontic expressions and the various combinations and variations of their components depend on the type of discourse. In this paper the types of modal agents in the nuclear genre of political discourse political speeches in German and Russian linguistic cultures are described using contextual analysis. The study shows that the set of deontic agents is predetermined by this discursive practice, its functional and system-forming characteristics, and has a similarity in the implementation of a modal agent regardless of linguoculture. The method of functional-semantic description reveals that various types of deontic agents, their variability and semantic flexibility allow deontic utterances to realize different functions, thus determining the peculiarity of deontic modality in political discourse.

Published: November 2019

The education system in the field of culture and art has a historically established structure. This structure is the most stable and undergoes the least changes, in contrast to training in other areas of sociocultural relations. Success in professional activity and the self-realization of its graduates largely depends on the organization of interaction of all participants in educational relations. The heads of structural divisions of an educational organization in the field of culture have the main responsibility for the effectiveness of the entire educational organization as a whole, regardless of what level of education this organization implements. The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation developed criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the activities of subordinate educational organizations, including all aspects of its activities: criteria for the main activities of an educational organization; criteria for financial and economic activity, executive discipline of an educational organization; indicators for determining the size of incentive payments for employees of educational organizations of performing arts. In addition, the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation has developed a professional standard that defines the labor functions of senior employees of educational organizations. The presence of these regulatory documents made it possible to justify the validity of the competency-based approach to determining the effective characteristics of the heads of educational departments of educational organizations in the field of culture (managerial competence) and to develop its structure taking into account the behavioral approach adopted in the management to determine the essence of the concepts of competence and competence. The article substantiates the conditions that determine the effectiveness of activities of any team in the long term, and the formation of threshold and deep competencies that are part of the managerial competency structure of a leader will contribute to the development of art and socio-cultural education in the Russian Federation.

Published: November 2019

The article deals with the verbs of final negative way of acting, which are one of the brightest representatives of the group of ways of acting. The verbs of final negative way of acting havent attracted the researchers` attention yet. Meanwhile it is rather interesting and actual to explore the given verbs from the functional stylistic and aspect correlation points of view as well as to find out what causes the negative consequences of acting semantics and the in different contexts. The term negative consequences of acting should be also qualified.In the research process the following methods were used: observation, description and functional semantic analyses. The quantitative methodology was used in analysis and generalization of language phenomena.As a material for the study, examples from works by Russian writers selected from the Russian National Corpus (F.M. Dostoevsky, V.P. Astafyev, M.M. Zoshchenko, V.I. Shukshin) were used.A wide range of issues related to the principles of word formatiоn meaning, definition of its essence, patterns of interaction of affixes and motivating basis, etc. is considered in the given article.The research proves that the semantics of word formation model itself plays an important role in creating of the negative consequence of acting до--ся as well as the usage of stylistically marked words (colloquial) as motivating verbs; in addition, the semantics of the negative result of acting is created by the context and situation. The semantics of the negative result of acting is manifested as the occurrence of the subjects negatively assessed state (fatigue, unfitness, exhaustion), negative development of events, negative situations as a result of the subject`s acting. The functional stylistic features of the verbs of the final negative mode of acting are determined and it is established that functioning in colloquial speech is one their characteristics. We have also established that the imperfective forms of the given verbs are rarely used and in addition the obstacle to their formation is the total meaning of the perfect form.

Los Movimientos Sociales de Bolivia Como Actores Contrahegemónicos en el Régimen Internacional de Control de Drogas
Authors: Salgar Antolínez Daniel
Published: November 2019

El régimen internacional de control de drogas vigente prohíbe el cultivo de la coca en su es­tado natural y su uso tradicional. Sin embargo, impulsado por movimientos sociales en de­fensa del uso tradicional de la coca, el Estado de Bolivia en 2011 denunció la Convención Única de Estupefacientes –principal instru­mento del régimen– y luego fue readmitido con una reserva sobre la masticación de la coca. ¿Por qué esa defensa de la coca por parte de los movimientos sociales, a través del Estado, puede entenderse como una práctica contra hegemónica en este régimen internacional des­de la llegada de Evo Morales a la Presidencia? Este análisis cualitativo mostrará que el Estado no llegó a articular un bloque hegemónico internacional, pero tiene un comportamiento contra hegemónico al visibilizar prácticas y saberes históricamente excluidos.

Bu çalışmada, dünyada ve Türkiye’de manda yetiştiriciliğinin çeşitli göstergeler bakımından değerlendirilmesi ve geleceğine ilişkin bazı öngörülerde bulunulması amaçlanmıştır. Son yıllarda organik hayvansal üretime yönelik eğilimler hâlihazırda geleneksel üretim yapılarını koruyan hayvancılık kollarını yeniden önemli kılmaktadır. Manda yetiştiriciliğinin de, hayvancılıktaki yeni eğilimler dikkate alındığında, oldukça önemli bir hayvancılık kolu olup bu yöndeki taleplerin karşılanmasına katkı sunması beklenmektedir. Dünyada ve Türkiye’de manda yetiştiriciliğinin çoğunlukla geleneksel üretim sistemlerinin devam ettirildiği Asya kıtasında varlık göstermesi dönüştürülme ihtiyacını gerektirmektedir.  Nitekim bazı Avrupa ülkelerinde manda yetiştiriciliğinde daha modern yaklaşımların benimsenmeye başlandığı gözlenmekte ve bu yetiştirme kolunun endüstriyel boyutlarının güçlendirilmeye çalışıldığı anlaşılmaktadır. Türkiye’de ise manda yetiştiriciliği, son yıllara kadar başta manda varlığında görülen dramatik düşüşler olmak üzere yetiştirme özellikleri, sağlık koruma, manda ürünlerinin üretilmesi ve pazarlanması noktasındaki eksikliklerle temayüz etmektedir. Sonuç olarak hem dünyada hem de ülkemizde manda yetiştiriciliği temelde geleneksel bir üretim sistemiyle karakterize olmakla birlikte bazı Avrupa ülkelerinde bu yetiştirme kolundaki iyileştirmeler ve gelişmelerin önemli olduğu görülmektedir. Başta manda ıslahı çalışmaları olmak üzere besleme, sürü yönetimi, sağlık koruma ve manda ürünlerine dönük bir bilincin oluşturulması, etkili örgütlenme kanallarına yer verilmesi ve bazı hayvansal ürünler bakımından alternatif bir hayvansal üretim kolu olarak bakılmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

TRIBUTACION DE LA VIVIENDAS DE USO TURISTICO EN ESPAÑA: UNA SÍNTESIS
Authors: Bahía Almansa Belén , Cruz Padial Ignacio
Published: November 2019

El tratamiento fscal aplicable a las viviendas de uso turístico es un factor relevante en los problemas que estas están generando en las grandes ciudades. Lo que en un principio surge como un mero intercambio de viviendas sin onerosidad ha derivado hacia una actividad económica muy lucrativa. La tributación que afecta a esta modalidad de arrendamiento ha estado, hasta ahora, poco acorde a la realidad. Es por ello, por lo que hemos pretendido analizar el régimen tributario existente en relación con los rendimientos obtenidos por particular persona física. También se hará hincapié en la fscalidad indirecta que afecta a esta casuística, es decir, el Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido (IVA) y el Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP), y tangencialmente al Impuesto General Indirecto Canario (IGIC) y al Impuesto sobre la Producción, los Servicios y la Importación (IPSI) vigente en Ceuta y Melilla.
SISTEMA TRIBUTÁRIO DA CONSTITUIÇÃO DA REPÚBLICA FEDERATIVA DO BRASIL DE 1988 À LUZ DA TEORIA CONTRATUALISTA DE JOHN LOCKE
Authors: Borba Diego Apellaniz
Published: November 2019

A teoria contratualista de John Locke apresentou à modernidade uma nova forma de Estado: o estado racional, formado por um pacto consensual a partir de pressupostos, como a liberdade e a igualdade. A justifcação contratualista de Estado permite afrmar que os pressupostos estabelecidos por John Locke se aplicam em parte aos princípios do pacto federativo, este formado pela vontade consensual dos Estados Federados que compõem a Federação. A vontade pactual desses Estados Federados é exercida pela livre e legítima soberania externa, isto é, a liberdade plena deste Estado a dispor sobre o ingresso ou não na federação. Desta forma, seria possível afrmar, a partir da concentração do sistema tributário instituído pela Constituição do Brasil de 1988 e à luz da teoria contratualista de John Locke, que os Estados Federados gozavam de plena soberania no momento em que foram declarados parte da Federação brasileira?
Nadir e Siza
Authors: Grande Nuno
Published: November 2019

Ao longo dos últimos anos, entre diversos textos escritos, tenho vindo a interpelar o método conceptual do arquiteto (que gostava de ter sido escultor) Álvaro Siza, procurando descodificar (como se isso fosse possível) a sua notável capacidade de reinventar memórias, de interpretar geografias, de se deixar contaminar por tantas “culturas-outras”. Esse exercício de alteridade - ser simultaneamente eu e o outro; ser daqui e do mundo, ser local e universal -, de clara afinidade pessoana ou torguiana, leva Siza a criar obras que são suas, originais e irrepetíveis, mas que ressoam, na nossa memória, como espaços familiares; ou, dito de outra forma, como se tivessem pertencido sempre à vida de um lugar, de uma cidade ou de um personagem.

Comecei a escrever este texto nos Verões da minha infância. No Vidago. E em Chaves. No Largo General Silveira, debaixo das estrelas. A ver partir a última locomotiva. Meticulosamente, a recolher pinhões nos relvados da piscina do Palace. A fumar os primeiros Definitivos com o Groom do Hotel dos meus avós. No muro de trás. À noite, na esplanada do Café Aurora a ouvir os adultos. Nadir Afonso e o meu pai. A ouvi-los falar sobre os problemas da pintura. Das características essenciais que separam a arquitectura da pintura. Dos critérios espaciais e tipológicos, e da gravidade que assegura a natureza essencialmente estrutural e construtiva do projecto arquitectónico. Das propriedades concretas da terra e do céu. Da fenomenologia do “espaço natural”.
Como escrever Nadir Afonso

Published: November 2019

Como escrever, na perspetiva da arquitetura, sobre um homem que se forma e trabalha como arquiteto, mas que pensa como um filósofo e age como um artista? E que no entanto respira o mesmo tempo de Le Corbusier e de Oscar Niemeyer com quem colabora, nos anos cruciais de 1946-1948/1950-51 (com o primeiro) e 1951-54 (com o segundo)? Que procura o que define engenhosamente como sendo as “leis da harmonia” da arte, por imperativo “matemático”, quando a arquitetura remete para as “leis da perfeição”, sempre adiadas pela função? (Cepeda, 2017, 74). Parece um quebra-cabeças, um enigma. Talvez um koan budista: como estar no centro da arquitetura e negar a arquitetura?

Temeljno raziskovalno vprašanje na področju preučevanja vidnega delovnega spomina je, kateri mehanizmi vzdrževanja vidnih informacij so podlaga za njegovo omejeno kapaciteto. Študije kažejo na pomembno vlogo posteriornih področij možganov, ki omogočajo oblikovanje vidnih reprezentacij na podlagi kontralateralne organiziranosti vidnega sistema. Ta omogoča, da si posamezniki zapomnijo več informacij, kadar so te prikazane na obeh polovicah vidnega polja in jih posledično procesirata obe hemisferi. Gre za pojav, ki je poznan kot obojestranska prednost. Na podlagi dosedanjih spoznanj o obojestranski prednosti pri hranjenju vidnih informacij je bil cilj naše raziskave preveriti, na kateri stopnji obremenjenosti vidnega delovnega spomina pride do obojestranske prednosti in ali lahko udeleženci pri obojestranskem prikazu informacij popolnoma izkoristijo skupno spominsko kapaciteto leve in desne hemisfere. V eksperimentu je sodelovalo 18 študentov (13 žensk), starih med 19 in 41 let, ki so izvedli nalogo prepoznave sprememb, pri kateri so morali prepoznati spremembo v orientaciji objektov, prikazanih na levi, desni ali na obeh straneh vidnega polja. Rezultati so pokazali, da so si udeleženci zapomnili več vidnih informacij in podajali hitrejše odgovore, kadar so bili objekti razporejeni preko obeh polovic vidnega polja, kar je skladno s predpostavko, da pri obojestranskem prikazu objektov izkoriščamo kapaciteto obeh hemisfer. V nadaljevanju so rezultati pokazali, da je obojestranska prednost opazna šele takrat, ko obremenitev vidnega delovnega spomina preseže kapaciteto posamezne hemisfere. Kljub pomembni obojestranski prednosti le-ta udeležencem ne omogoča, da dosežejo skupno kapaciteto obeh hemisfer, kar nakazuje, da kapaciteta vidnega delovnega spomina ni omejena le s sposobnostjo oblikovanja reprezentacij, temveč da jo opredeljujejo omejitve dodatnega kognitivnega sistema.

The significant influence of the 21st century brought a change in Physics learning. Students are required to have the skills to think, work, and live in the surrounding environment. To achieve 21st-century skills needed teaching materials that can support the learning process.With the presence of teaching materials, students are more active in building their knowledge and easy to understand the material provided. Teaching materials that can guide students with a productive task to practice is the student worksheet. A student worksheet is a teaching material that contains a set of activities to maximize students understanding in achievement of competence. To improve the competence of students, one of the efforts that teachers to develop quality student worksheet. A student worksheet is considered qualified if has validity criteria. The validity assessment of the student worksheet is carried out by expert reviews. This research aims to determine the validity of the student worksheet using an inquiry-based learning model with a science process skills approach. The research conducted is design research using the Plomp model with the type of development studies, where validity is at the stage of development. The research instrument used a validity questionnaire to be filled by expert reviews, then analyzed using Aiken's V formula. The result of the validity showed that the student worksheet using an inquiry-based learning model with a science process skills approach having valid criteria with a value of 0.88. It means that the student worksheet is decent for use in Physics learning.

Background: An increased number of refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia (MPP) cases have been reported. However the duration of MP infection in lower airway and the course of anti-MP treatment remains unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 94 MPP children. Patients were classified into two groups. The long-term group (Group LT) was defined as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) remained MP-positive by PCR after 30 days of the disease course. The non-long-term group (Group NLT) was defined as BALF became MP-negative by PCR within 30 days of disease and patients who only needed one bronchoscopy lavage therapy. MP loads, clinical outcomes were analyzed along with other clinical measurements.
Results: The average levels of inflammatory markers such as C reactive protein and lactate dehydrogenase in Group LT were significantly higher than those in Group NLT. Airway and lung damage in Group LT were more severe than Group NLT. 28 patients developed necrotizing pneumonia and 8 patients developed pulmonary embolism in Group LT. Mean maximum MP loads in BALF were 10 7.46±0.93 and 10 4.86±0.93 in Groups LT and NLT, respectively. There was persistent MP DNA in Group LT, even lasted for 120 days. One severe MPP patient in Group LT had MP-associated bloodstream infection. After 3 months of follow-up, chest imaging revealed incomplete absorption of pulmonary consolidation in 33 patients of Group LT [including 13 airway obliterans (AO) patients] and in 7 patients of Group NLT (including 2 AO patients).
Conclusion: MP loads of BALF were associated with the subsequent duration of MP DNA in lower airway. High MP loads and persistent long-term MP DNA in lower airway were associated with severity of pediatric MPP.

Background: To document ocular abnormalities in healthy full-term newborn infants using wide-field digital imaging and to analyze factors associated with the findings.

Methods: A total of 1208 full-term newborn infants at a tertiary eye hospital (Cipto Mangunkusumo National Referral Hospital) and a district hospital in Jakarta (Koja Hospital) were enrolled to the study. All eligible newborns underwent fundus examination within 48 hours after birth using the RetCam shuttle (Natus Medical Incorporated, USA). Retinal hemorrhages findings were documented and analyzed according to obstetric and neonatal risk factors.

Results: Of the 1208 newborn infants enrolled, ocular abnormalities were found in 150 infants (12.4%). Retinal hemorrhage (RH) was the most common findings (88%) in which 2.67% involved the macula, followed with chorioretinitis (4.67%). Univariate analysis showed caesarean section (C-section) (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.18-0.41, p<0.001) as the protective factor towards RH, while prolonged labor increased the risk of developing RH (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.24-2.72, p=0.002). Further multivariate analysis showed similar protective association between C-section and risk of RH (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.19-0.44, p<0.001), while other risk factors were not.

Conclusions: Our study supports previous reports that universal eye screening is an essential procedure which may detect several important ocular abnormalities. Retinal hemorrhage is the most common ocular abnormality and is associated with the methods of delivery and duration of labor. As the ocular abnormalities may go unnoticed during standard practice, a universal eye screening program could be considered as an essential part of newborn screening especially amongst those with prolonged labors.
