Media Restrictions as the Image Formation Tool: the Case Study of Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew Popularity
Authors: Juodytė Aurelija , Colin Ng Zhen Xiang
Published: July 2020

We live in the world full of nice people. The media make us think so as we are surrounded by the images of sport, pop culture, fashion industry, entertainment media, and business leaders. We face them even in the news programs and the press. Of course, the photos and other visual outlets of politicians join the general publicity of personality cult. How do these people appear in the journalist media? Why are they exposed in a positive manner while the crucial role of journalism’s “watchdog” function is to demonstrate weaknesses in order to get them into political agenda and improve? We live in the world where there is a huge business of personality promotion and selling beneath the media, and this business is called celebrity branding and news management. The media skip it from exposure. Journalism too, but why? Who is in charge that people in the media become celebrities? Who, the source or the media, is related to the fact that their audience becomes attached to the celebrities and is involved into a never-ending follow-up communication with them? These questions arise when we focus on journalism’s role in the public opinion formation process in general and image management in particular. The issue may be approached by various ways, but the present article narrows the scope of analyses mainly to the issue of political environment impact on the image of the political actor. Such a choice is made due on the factor that political environment covers both the macro (institutional) and micro (content) levels of restrictions the traditional media encounter, and due to the reason that the scope of mediated politics enables the holistic view of the media field professionals (public relations practitioners, sources, and journalists) performance and its influence on the final product. The disclosure of how the personality campaign is organised in order to reach a wide coverage and depict a positive image is of cognitive value also because the case study is made with the Singapore Prime Minister’s example – the international aspect introduces the global patterns of the celebrity phenomenon and also allows to discuss the media regulation in Singapore. First of all, the present article introduces the theoretical background for the case study, then it examines the state of the media in Singapore, showing the ownership specifics, regulation peculiarities and free speech constraints arising from regulation rather than from professionalism. The psychologically fair factor is disclosed through the analysis of legal acts, especially the Internal Security Act. The spiral of silence theory explains the supporters of such political environment that enables a long-lasting positive attitude towards the Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and explains his popularity and a successful image-making job.

«El duelo es una necesidad de los tiempos presentes»: opiniones sobre el carácter civilizador del duelo en la España del siglo XIX
Authors: Sánchez Raquel
Published: July 2020

A lo largo del siglo XIX algunos escritores y juristas defendieron la práctica del duelo porque veían en él un mecanismo para mantener el respeto al individuo en una sociedad cambiante y con tendencias igualitarias. Desde su perspectiva, el duelo ayudaba a controlar el egoísmo materialista y la falta de civismo de las clases ascendentes, a la vez que insuflaba en la sociedad unos principios morales en trance de desaparición. El objetivo de este trabajo se centra en el análisis de los argumentos esgrimidos por estos autores para ver hasta qué punto responden a una reinterpretación del concepto del honor en cuyo centro se hallaría una visión elitista de la sociedad.
«Deseando economizar la sangre cuanto sea posible». De la guerra a muerte al tratado de regularización en el periodo de Independencia de Venezuela, 1813-1824
Authors: Pita-Pico Roger
Published: July 2020

En el marco de la conmemoración del Bicentenario de la Independencia de las naciones hispanoamericanas y, a través del método de análisis cualitativo y de la corriente de los estudios de paz, el propósito de este artículo consiste en analizar, desde una óptica comparativa, la situación vivida en Venezuela a partir de 1813, cuando se promulgó el decreto de guerra a muerte y la posterior etapa en la cual estuvieron en vigencia los acuerdos humanitarios firmados en Trujillo en noviembre de 1820 entre el gobierno español y el gobierno republicano, en especial, haciendo énfasis en la aplicación del tratado de regularización de la guerra. Esta dinámica de la guerra con sus diferentes niveles de intensidad muestra la complejidad del conflicto, en medio de un ambiente de alta polarización social y étnica. Sin duda, aquellas normas humanitarias marcaron un punto de inflexión al salvar o aliviar la vida de cientos de combatientes, aunque debe reconocerse también que hubo muchas infracciones e interferencias por parte de algunos sectores radicales.
Assessment of the potential and prospects for the use of renewable energy sources in order to diversify electricity supply
Authors: Golovin Artеm , Solodukhina Olga , Pyanikova Elvira
Published: July 2020

The purpose of the article is to assess the potential and prospects of using renewable energy sources in order to diversify electricity supply. The object of the study is the natural and economic conditions that determine the feasibility of using renewable energy sources in order to diversify electricity supply. The basis of the study was the data of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of assessing the possibilities of using renewable energy sources.
The region of activity of the guaranteeing supplier JSC AtomEnergoSbyt is represented by the Kursk, Smolensk, Tver and Murmansk regions. An assessment of the installed electric power generation capacities made it possible to determine that in the Kursk and Smolensk regions generation with the use of atomic energy predominates. In the Tver region, the largest share of installed capacities is accounted for by nuclear generation, however, thermal generation has a significant share. The installed capacities of the Murmansk region demonstrate significant differentiation. There is generation in the region using atomic, hydrocarbon and renewable energy sources. The region is the only one among the considered regions that uses renewable energy sources. More than half of the generation of electricity in the Murmansk region occurs using renewable energy sources.
An assessment of the potential of renewable energy sources in the region of activity of the guaranteeing supplier showed that in the Kursk, Smolensk and Tver regions it is inexpedient to place generation facilities using solar, wind, geothermal and small river energy. In the Murmansk region, on the contrary, there is sufficient potential to accommodate wind and small hydropower plants. An assessment of the bioenergy potential of the livestock industry showed that it is advisable to develop biogas energy in the Kursk, Smolensk and Tver regions, which, on the one hand, will allow the disposal of livestock waste, and, on the other hand, provide small towns with electricity and heat.
Unification of the development of information models of buildings at the demolition stage
Authors: Ginzburg Alexander , Khaustova Anastasiia
Published: July 2020

The study aims to develop standardized BIM methods for buildings that are part of the Moscow city renovation program. This problem is extremely urgent, since there are no digitized sources of typical projects of the last century, and this complicates the process of calculating the generation of construction and demolition waste and casts doubt on its accuracy. At the stage of high quality and timely dismantling phase (calculation of the weight of construction and demolition waste, scheduling of work and transportation of waste), this process can be automated using information modeling software – Autodesk Revit 2019.
This will complement the existing information model by including in it one of the final stages of the building’s life cycle – dismantling, which in transparency, accessibility and completeness will not be inferior to the blocks of design, examination, construction and operation. On the basis of albums of typical building projects, you can get a lot of information to create the necessary project families and specifications, which will greatly simplify and speed up the process of developing building demolition projects in the future, since with each new project libraries of elements, materials, families will be supplemented.
The article presents the process of developing a project template for the phase of the dismantling of buildings. A new project parameter has been created, assigned to each material of the project template, the necessary parametric and design characteristics have been assigned for further calculations based on the simulated building design, a design specification has been developed, on the basis of which data on the weight of construction and demolition waste can be quickly obtained, relevant checks carried out for different types of developed and basic project families.
Prospects for the development of computer-aided design of data processing centers based on the use of building information modeling technologies
Authors: Rybakova Angelina
Published: July 2020

A data center is a specialized building or room where a company, organization, or government Agency places information and network equipment and then connects to the network. Data centers solve the owner's strategic information and communication tasks.
The constant increase in operating costs of data processing cents is driving innovation to improve their efficiency. Today, one of the newest ways to improve the design and functionality of data centers is to integrate building information modeling. Analysis of simulation results and calculated values with existing performance indicators of the data center will help you quickly identify the places of failures or disruptions, as well as form an algorithm for the procedure of intervention in the operation in order to improve efficiency and smooth operation. Integrating the capabilities of information modeling technologies in the design process increases the efficiency of both the overall design of the object and special design indicators for data processing centers.
This article describes the basics of integrating information modeling of buildings and data processing centers, the advantages of information modeling approaches, the role of information modeling technologies in the development and improvement of methods for designing data processing centers, as well as ways to implement the information model of the data center. The author proves and explains the necessity of developing an information model of the data center, as well as offers possible implementation tools. In addition to the advantages of the model at the design stage, the author also highlights the possibilities of using data at the subsequent stages of installation and operation.
Management of building microclimate parameters using the dispatching and data collection system
Authors: Shilkina Svetlana , Mikhasenko Nikita
Published: July 2020

The authors point out that many production facilities operate outdated management systems that require updating. It is also necessary to equip new production buildings with already updated systems to increase the safety and durability of ventilation systems. The lack of modern and high-quality methods of ventilation of industrial premises directly affects the health of production personnel, the deterioration of which directly affects the quality of products. In addition, by integrating the data collection and dispatching system, the automation process is made cheaper, and the maintenance of the equipment included in the technological process is facilitated. However, due to the principle of multilevel system organization, maintenance and supervision system of ventilation of the building can manage employees of different skill levels, allowing more experienced employees to focus their energy and attention on other tasks, and less-skilled employees; this system provides the opportunity to improve their level of knowledge.
In the article, which is part of the author’s research on the development of a building dispatching system, presents an analysis of the data collection system and dispatching the ventilation system of an industrial building. The system elements and functions performed by this system are described. The principles of construction, operation and maintenance are also described. Special attention is paid to the program screens, both main and working. The functionality of the integrated system is described, with a comprehensive explanation of all the subtleties of the system.
Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling of the Kidney Glomerulus Identifies Key Cell Types and Reactions to Injury

Significance Statement

Single-cell transcriptomics techniques have revolutionized the ability to characterize cells from heterogeneous organs like the kidney. Although glomerular disorders are an important cause of CKD, a thorough characterization of the cells in the glomerulus has remained challenging due to the technical difficulties of isolating undamaged cells, especially from glomeruli of diseased animals. This study provides a comprehensive single-cell atlas, based on approximately 75,000 cells, from glomeruli of healthy mice and mice injured in four ways, including all cell types present. The data set will be a valuable resource for generating precise tools to interrogate specific glomerular cell types and in identifying genes involved in the pathogenesis of glomerular diseases.

Background

The glomerulus is a specialized capillary bed that is involved in urine production and BP control. Glomerular injury is a major cause of CKD, which is epidemic and without therapeutic options. Single-cell transcriptomics has radically improved our ability to characterize complex organs, such as the kidney. Cells of the glomerulus, however, have been largely underrepresented in previous single-cell kidney studies due to their paucity and intractability.

Methods

Single-cell RNA sequencing comprehensively characterized the types of cells in the glomerulus from healthy mice and from four different disease models (nephrotoxic serum nephritis, diabetes, doxorubicin toxicity, and CD2AP deficiency).

Results

All cell types in the glomerulus were identified using unsupervised clustering analysis. Novel marker genes and gene signatures of mesangial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells of the afferent and efferent arterioles, parietal epithelial cells, and three types of endothelial cells were identified. Analysis of the disease models revealed cell type–specific and injury type–specific responses in the glomerulus, including acute activation of the Hippo pathway in podocytes after nephrotoxic immune injury. Conditional deletion of YAP or TAZ resulted in more severe and prolonged proteinuria in response to injury, as well as worse glomerulosclerosis.

Conclusions

Generation of comprehensive high-resolution, single-cell transcriptomic profiles of the glomerulus from healthy and injured mice provides resources to identify novel disease-related genes and pathways.
The novel design of an energy efficient superconductor-based series reactor for installation at a grid connected research site
Authors: Khan Mohamed F. , Jarvis A.L. Leigh , Young Edward A. , Swanson Andrew G. , Archer Jonathan C. , Stephen Robert G.
Published: July 2020

This paper proposes the development of a superconducting series reactor (SSR) as an alternative to traditionally employed technologies and superconducting fault current limiters when managing fault levels on the electrical power grid. By utilizing superconducting tape, which has negligible resistance, in the construction of a series reactor, it is proposed that fault level mitigation could be achieved in a more energy efficient manner. Once constructed the SSR will be installed and tested at a grid-connected power engineering research site, and the proposed impact of this installation is firstly simulated using Reticmaster® power system simulation software. Design parameters for the prototype SSR are then calculated enabling the total cost of the modifications and prototype SSR to be determined. A desktop SSR was also constructed and tested as a pre-cursor to the prototype construction to confirm functionality and design and was found to be up to four times more energy efficient as the equivalent copper reactor. Finally, the calorimetric method of power loss determination was investigated and experimentally shown to be a viable alternative to the traditional electrical method of power loss determination. In the past, the relatively cheap cost of electricity in South Africa had favoured the installation of poor power efficiency devices that required a lower initial capital investment. With increasing energy costs and a focus on carbon emission reductions, the development of the SSR augurs a new era in power system engineering in which designs are proposed considering both total lifecycle costs and energy efficiency.

Automation in Sports Reporting: Strategies of Data Providers, Software Providers, and Media Outlets
Authors: Kunert Jessica
Published: July 2020

This study examines how algorithmic processing affects structures and practices in sports journalism in Germany. A multi-level perspective is used to determine which strategies data providers, software providers, and media outlets use to develop automated reporting, which compiles perspectives across the entire line of news production. The results of 11 in-depth interviews show that non-journalistic actors are vital partners in the news production process, as all actors work together in data handling, training, and software development. Moreover, automation can generate additional content such as match and historical coverage to help address shortfalls in capacity. However, given the business case for automation, amateur football (soccer) is currently the only viable candidate for its use. Many actors involved in the process argue that automated content is an added value for their readers, but claim that content quality has to be put before quantity. This means that some media outlets edit automated articles to increase the quality of their sports journalism, but that this is done only on a small scale. Media outlets do not perceive their roles to be changing, but see automation as a helpful tool that complements their work; a few use automatically created articles as a baseline for in-depth reporting. Moreover, the so-called ‘meta-writer’ has not become a reality yet, as data-processing and news writing are still kept separate. This article sheds new light on the use of automation in the sports beat, highlighting the growing role of non-journalistic actors in the news production process.
Algorithmic Actants in Practice, Theory, and Method
Authors: Zamith Rodrigo , Haim Mario
Published: July 2020

What changes as algorithms proliferate within journalism and become more sophisticated? In this essay, we synthesize the articles in this thematic issue, which offer empirical evidence for how algorithms—and especially those designed to automate news production—are being incorporated not only into journalistic activities but also into the logics of journalism itself. They underscore that journalists have neither feared nor rejected such algorithms, as might be expected given the recent history of technological adoption in journalism. Instead, journalists have sought to normalize the technology by negotiating them against existing values and practices, and perhaps even reified some normative ideological constructs by finding unique value in what they offer as humans. These articles also highlight the shortcomings of those algorithms, giving pause to postulations of algorithms as potential solutions to shortcomings of trust in news and market failures. Indeed, such algorithms may end up amplifying the very biases that seed distrust in news all the while appearing less valuable to readers than their human counterparts. We also point to new opportunities for research, including examinations of how algorithms shape other stages in the journalistic workflow, such as interviewing sources, organizing knowledge, and verifying claims. We further point to the need to investigate higher analytic levels and incorporate additional perspectives, both from more diverse contexts (e.g., Global South) and from our sister academic fields (e.g., human–computer interaction). We conclude with optimism about the continued contributions this stream of work is poised to make in the years to come.

A factibilidade da hipercognição está alicerçada na concepçãode cognição sustentada pelo externalismo ativo, em especial o de Andy Clark, para o qual o ambiente possuicaracterísticas relevantes o suficiente para desempenhar um papel protagonista no processo de cognição,uma vez que os humanos já seriam, por natureza, peritos na tarefa de incorporar material não biológico emsuas rotinas físicas e cognitivas. A simbiose entre humanos (genuínos ciborgues tecnológicos) e máquinasseria algo que decorreria naturalmente, sobretudo na acepção de que os processos cognitivos seriamdependentes de ajuda externas. No contexto da Convergência Tecnológica NBIC, essa simbiose é o quepossibilita a hipercognição.
Proposta para uma abordagem arqueológica da etno-história do Seridó – RN/PB
Authors: Borges Fábio Mafra
Published: July 2020

Este artigo demonstra uma possível relação entre a cultura material registrada na área arqueológica do Seridó – RN/PB com a cultura material descrita de um grupo etno-histórico, ou proto-histórico, que habitou o Seridó potiguar desde épocas remotas – mais de 7000 A.P., segundo dados linguísticos – até a segunda metade do século XVII: os Tarairiú. Esta proposta de pesquisa mostra-se viável pela relação espacial verificada entre os dados etno-históricos e o registro arqueológico identificados na região seridoense.
Research on User Interest Expression and Recommendation Service based on Three-dimensional Relationship of Users and Items
Authors: Sun Dasong , Li Shuqing , Yan Wenjing , Jiao Fusen , Chen Junpeng
Published: July 2020

The existing recommendation algorithms often rely heavily on the original score information in the user rating matrix. However, the user's rating of items does not fully reflect the user's real interest. Therefore, the key to improve the existing recommendation system algorithm effectively is to eliminate the influence of these unfavorable factors and the accuracy of the recommendation algorithm can be improved by correcting the original user rating information reasonably. This paper makes a comprehensive theoretical analysis and method design from three aspects: the quality of the item, the memory function of the user and the influence of the social friends trusted by the user on the user's rating. Based on these methods, this paper finally proposes a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm (FixCF) based on user rating modification. Using data sets such as Movielens, Epinions and Flixster, the data sets are divided into five representative subsets, and the experimental demonstration is carried out. FixCF and classical collaborative filtering algorithms, existing matrix decomposition-based algorithms and trust network-based inference are compared. The experimental results show that the accuracy and coverage of FixCF have been improved under many experimental conditions.
Autonomous Ration Shops Using Database Management System and Embedded System
Authors: Sharma Vivek
Published: July 2020

This paper centres around structure and execution of Automation of Ration Shop. In ongoing situation, all general society and private parts go for computerization in their procedure. Common Supplies Corporation is the significant open segment which oversees and conveys the basic items to all the residents. A portion of the restrictions of traditional proportion shop framework are because of manual estimations in the ordinary framework, consequently the client can not ready to get the precise amount of material. And furthermore there is an opportunity for the unlawful utilization of the items in the regular framework. for example the materials are taken by making incorrectly sections in the register without the information on the apportion card holder. And furthermore the moderate preparing keeps a long line before the shop. To defeat these issues we go for the mechanization of the apportion shops. This article aims for the sequential recording of ration shop transactions to a database using a network of clients with a server. The paper involves a client side and server side.  The client PC is the one which is in the ration shop and the server side contains the database and a PC. The client PC is connected with a weighing machine. The client module consists of arduino microcontroller, which is with the weighing machine. The customer with a ration card can have his allotted items and which will be updated to the server as he receives it. The weight of the item is recorded by the microcontroller based weighing machine to the PC. The customer can access the details of his purchase and the amount of items left in the shop through an ASP.NET based webpage. The server stores all the allotted items to a ration shop for each and every customer and also the total items allotted for the ration shop. This project aims in the minimization of ration related corruption including the black-market reselling of goods and also the incorrect weights of items supplied and price related issues.

Authors: Mirwan Dhia Maulidya , Margo Eveline
Published: July 2020

LATAR BELAKANGObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) merupakan kondisi umum pada saat tidur ditandai dengan mendengkur. Di Indonesia, data prevalensi OSA masih sangat sedikit, namun pada penelitian di Jakarta tahun 2013 didapatkan 70% pada laki-laki dengan rentang usia 35-73 tahun menderita OSA. Kejadian OSA dapat mengganggu sistem pernapasan serta fungsi kognitif seseorang. Hal ini ditandai dengan hipoksia yang dapat menimbulkan fase arousal pada risiko OSA. Namun, pada beberapa penelitian ditemukan tidak terdapatnya hubungan kadar saturasi oksigen pada penderita OSA sehingga membuat peneliti hendak menilai kembali. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan saturasi oksigen dengan risiko terjadinya OSA pada pria usia 30-60 tahun.

METODEPenelitian ini menggunakan studi observasional analitik dengan desain studi potong lintang (cross-sectional) yang dilakukan pada bulan April hingga Juni 2019. Penentuan sampel menggunakan teknik random sampling, pada 64 orang pria usia 30-60 tahun. Data dikumpulkan dengan cara wawancara menggunakan kuesioner Berlin untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya OSA dan dilakukan pengukuran saturasi oksigen menggunakan pulse oximetry. Analisis hipotesis dilakukan dengan uji Chi-square dengan tingkat kemaknaan yang digunakan p < 0.05.

HASILDidapatkan responden 64 orang dengan 42 orang (65.6%) memiliki risiko tinggi OSA, dan 22 orang (34.4%) lainnya memiliki risiko rendah OSA, sedangkan pada uji Chi-square untuk melihat hubungan kadar saturasi oksigen dengan resiko terjadinya OSA didapatkan p=1.000.

KESIMPULANPenelitian ini menunjukan tidak ada hubungan bermakna antara kadar saturasi oksigen dengan risiko terjadinya OSA.
Por el control del río: el puerto de Magangué y la guerra de los Mil Días en El Caribe colombiano (1899-1902)
Authors: Álvarez Jiménez Jairo , López  Causado Alexánder
Published: July 2020

El artículo presenta un análisis sobre la importancia que tuvo el puerto fluvial de Magangué durante el desarrollo de la guerra de los mil días en la región Caribe colombiana. Por un lado, resalta la injerencia de este conflicto en la región y por el otro, reseña los hechos que se generaron en la localidad de Magangué (Departamento de Bolívar) durante la conflagración; y que sirvió para la realidad posterior que adopta la guerra en el norte del país. A partir del uso de diarios, memorias, artículos de prensa, registros oficiales publicados y monografías locales, el texto empieza reseñando la relevancia de los puertos para entender el desenvolvimiento de las guerras civiles colombianas, destacando el papel de Magangué como puerto fluvial durante el siglo XIX. Posteriormente, se hace referencia a la guerra de los Mil Días en el Departamento de Bolívar. Para finalizar se analiza la situación de conflicto que se vivió en este puerto hacia el año 1900, con la victoria y posterior derrota de los revolucionarios liberales. Esto catapultaría prácticamente el control, por parte de los conservadores, sobre el río Magdalena, y llevaría al desencadenamiento literal de la guerra de guerrillas como estrategia militar entre los opositores al gobierno.

La inversión uterina de causa obstétrica en el Instituto Materno Infantil "Concepción Villaveces de Acosta"
Authors: Guzmán Alandete Rubén Darío
Published: July 2020

1º Por su poca ocurrencia y el escaso conocimiento de la inversión uterina de causa obstétrica, se hace un breve estudio sobre tal complicación, señalando su frecuencia comparada con las de otros autores. Se revisa su clasificación, anatomía patológica, etiopatogenia, fisiopatología, sintomatologia, pronóstico, evolución, mortalidad, diagnóstico diferencial y tratamiento.2º Se describe la técnica de Colpo- histerotomía anterior (Op. de Spinel I i-Oui).3º Se presenta nuestra casuística en un lapso entre el 1º de Noviembre de 1953 al 20 de Agosto de 1965, dos de ellos ingresaron con la complicación, por partos atendidos fuera del servicio y dos ocurrieron dentro del I.M.I., dando una frecuencia de 1 x 71.980 partos. (0.00135%).4º Se hace un breve comentario sobre cada caso, tanto de los que se realizaron fuera del servicio, como de los del I.M.I.5º Se anota un caso de mortalidad de una paciente atendida fuera del servicio, quien presentó una inversión uterina completa, con la placenta adherida al fondo uterino. Se le practicó despegamiento de la placenta y luego reposición del útero en la pelvis, sin haberse recuperado de su estado de choque anémico y falleciendo lógicamente, en paro cardíaco, conducta que consideramos errada.6° En dos casos se empleó la técnica de la Colpohisterotomía Anterior (Op. de Spinelli), evolucionando ambas pacientes normalmente. Uno de ellos tuvo un parto espontáneo, sin complicaciones, no habiéndose- I e practicado Cesárea electiva extemporánea, por ignorancia de la paciente y del médico tratante del antecedente quirúrgico de la paciente.7º Un caso de inversión uterina aguda se le practicó reposición manual inmediata, bajo anestesia general. Esta paciente tuvo posteriormente un parto espontáneo, sin complicaciones.8º En el primer caso en que se empleó la Colpohisterotomía Anterior, se le había realizado unas horas antes, reducción uterina manual, la cual creemos que no fue adecuada ni bien realizada, volviéndose a invertir el útero 11 horas más tarde.9º Preconizamos que a toda paciente a quien se le ha practicado una reposición quirúrgica de su inversión uterina, se le debe advertir y dar una tarjeta especial para que la presente a los médicos tratantes en los futuros embarazos, a fin de que éstos puedan decidir la conducta a seguir.10. Se presenta la bibliografía sobre tal tema.

Se seleccionan 46 pacientes que presentaron I.U. durante el último embarazo para estudiarlas después del puerperio con el fin de hallar las causas extra-gravidez que hayan podido contribuir a que dicha infección urinaria se presentase durante el estado grávido. De estas pacientes solamente acudieron 25 a la cita propuesta para después del puerperio.En algo más de la mitad de estas damas (68%) se hallaron enfermedades obstructivas importantes de las vías urinarias, lo cual debe ser motivo de reflexión con el fin de que se resuelva a tomar en cuenta que toda mujer embarazada que presente I.U. durante e! embarazo debe ser estudiada seriamente puesto que el diagnóstico de infección que se hace durante el embarazo es sindromático y el tratamiento por tanto, en muchos casos, incompleto y provisional.

Published: July 2020

The aim of the present study was to examine relations among  gender, personality traits, and a behavioral component of sociosexual orientation on the one hand, and four dimensions of attitudes towards sex on the other hand. Participants (N = 266) from the general population of Serbia completed Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI), the brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) and Big Five Plus Two, shorten version (BF+2). Results pointed to a very modest contribution of gender to the prediction of sexual attitudes. Small effects of openness on instrumentality, extraversion on communion, and neuroticism on permissiveness were noted, and sociosexual orientation predicted all these three dimensions of attitudes towards sex. Results also indicated a significant effect of interaction between neuroticism and gender, as well as a positive valence and gender on instrumental attitude towards sex. The relationship in both cases was positive for males and negative for females.

Published: July 2020

The aim of this study was to evaluate if gait training on treadmill is effective to decrease the support time in paretic limb, investigating associations between this variable and the lower limb muscle strength degree, after treadmill training. For this, we invited eight children aged between six and 14 years old, diagnosed with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Gait was recorded and transformed in frames, with which were obtained each limb phase of stance duration. Muscle strength was evaluated manually and graded by a specific scale. Then, children underwent gait training on a treadmill for 20 sessions, twice a week. At the end of sessions, walking and strength were revalued. In data analysis we used non-parametric analyses with Wilcoxon and Spearman linear correlation tests. Significant differences were found for stance time, in both limbs, after treadmill training. Correlation test showed significant inverse association, after training, between triceps surae and iliopsoas muscles strength and the stance time percentage of non-impaired limb. Gait training on a treadmill was effective, resulting muscle strength gains and stance duration reducing, thus improving ambulation quality.

Published: July 2020

Latar Belakang: Prevalensi ADHD meningkat tajam, anak ADHD umumnya mengalami labilitas/ negativitas emosi buruk, terjadi selama hidupnya. Mereka cenderung menunjukkan emosi lebih tinggi dibandingkan anak normal, karena keterbatasan kapasitas dalam menghambat respon emosional mereka. Dalam bidang akademis, anak dengan ADHD menunjukkan prestasi akademik rendah. Hal ini karena kurangnya perhatian, impulsivitas, ketidakmampuan mengorganisasi aktivitasnya, sehingga sering mengalami kesulitan belajar. Guru dan orangtua sering mengeluhkan emosi anak ADHD, sedangkan teman-temannya cenderung menghindari bergaul dengannya. Hal ini menyebabkan regulasi emosi negatif yang berdampak terhadap proses belajarnya.Tujuan: Mengidentifikasi hubungan labilitas/ negativitas dan regulasi emosi dengan derajat kesulitan belajar anak ADHD di RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya.Metode: Studi analitik observasional, desain cross sectional, dengan teknik consecutive sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan Skala Penilaian Perilaku Anak Hiperaktif Indonesia (SPPAHI), Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) dan Colorado Learning Difficulties Questionnaire (CLDQ).Hasil: Didapatkan 30 subyek penelitian. Uji analisis statistik menyatakan terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara subskala labilitas/ negativitas maupun regulasi emosi dengan derajat kesulitan belajar anak ADHD. Terdapat juga hubungan yang bermakna antara subskala labilitas/ negativitas maupun regulasi emosi dengan derajat kesulitan belajar pada domain social cognition dan spatial difficulties.Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara subskala labilitas/ negativitas maupun regulasi emosi dengan derajat kesulitan belajar.

The aim of this research study was to assess Agile RE practices in the South African software development industry and investigate secure Agile RE initiatives towards developing secure products. This qualitative research study was contextualized in seventeen South African software development companies. The researchers used structured interviews and document reviews as the primary data collection instruments. Qualitative data was analyzed inductively using content analysis. Emanating from the research were recommendations to guide a regular software developer on good Agile RE practices. The study concluded that although Agile Software Development is practiced in the South African software industry, there needs to be stricter adherences to the Agile Manifesto and Agile Security Manifesto in requirements engineering.
Using Bayesian growth models to predict grape yield

Published: July 2020

Background and aims: Seasonal differences in vine yield need to be managed to ensure appropriate fruit composition at harvest. Differences in yield are the result of changes in vine management (e.g., the number of nodes retained after harvest) and weather conditions (in particular, temperature) at key vine development stages. Early yield prediction enables growers to manage vines to achieve target yields and prepare the required infrastructure for the harvest.Methods and results: Bunch mass data was collected during the 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons from a commercial vineyard on the Wairau Plains, Marlborough, New Zealand (41o2’23”S; 173o51’15”E). A Bayesian growth model, assuming a double sigmoidal curve, was used to predict the yield at the end of each season. The accuracy of the prediction was investigated using the Monte-Carlo simulation for yield prediction at various growth stages assuming different prior information.Conclusion: The results show that the model is sensitive to prior assumption and that having a non-informative prior may be more beneficial than having an informative prior based on one unusual year.
