Developing Professional Identity of Economics Students Through Foreign Language Learning in Ukraine and Abroad
Authors: Movchan Larysa
Published: July 2018

The article tackles the issue of students’ professional identity in relation with their motivation towards learning foreign languages (with the focus on English). Modern European education is based on the principle of integrity of the interests of all stakeholders, and future specialists must be ready to meet the challenges of the growing global market. Yet only a small number of Ukrainian school graduates and students of economic universities can communicate fluently in foreign social and communicative spheres. An attempt to find out what hinders the process of foreign language acquisition at non-linguistic universities and what really influences their motivation has been made. The research shows that an important factor in students’ motivation towards learning foreign languages is their professional self-identity, which is developed during university study and is in its turn determined by the contents, the form of professional education and the goals set. The analysis of the pedagogical literature has enabled us to formulate the definition of the “professional identity of economics students” content. Thus, it denotes person’s professional competencies that help him/her understand his/her role and place in the professional domain, at the job market and in the society on the whole, and also implies motivation, confidence and responsibility as well as readiness to work effectively. Once the student has identified his/her future professional roles, challenges, options and responsibilities he/she is motivated to develop the skills necessary to perform their professional duties and succeed in the career. Economic university training with the global context in mind is a motivating factor of improving foreign language competency of students and a definite factor of economic education prestige.
Professional Training of Foreign Language Teachers in the USA: Based on the Experience of Lewis University
Authors: Ikonnikova Maryna
Published: July 2018

The paper deals with professional training of future foreign language teachers in the USA based on the experience of Lewis University. As evidenced by research findings, the scope of foreign language education in the USA is rather broad, since they attempt to promote both traditional and critical languages in the context of developing translingual and transcultural competences. Based on the example of Lewis University, we have characterized professional training of future foreign language teachers, who major in the Spanish language. The obtained results prove that the programme content is extremely practice-oriented and designed to fulfill personal needs of every student; the programme curriculum is not overwhelmed with theoretical paradigms and foreign language students can participate in different activities and fully comprehend the realities of schools and the education process. It has been found that while mastering the programme, they are able to acquire the professional knowledge, skills and abilities they will definitely need in practice. The positive aspects of Lewis University’s foreign language education programme have been determined. They are the following: practice-oriented approach to professional training of future foreign language teachers; an optimal selection of professional education courses and electives, as well as effective clinical practice; the assessment and evaluation of foreign language students’ results during and after undergoing clinical practice from different perspectives, namely, organization, content, specifics; the implementation of the inclusive education component into the content of the programme curriculum; the fulfillment of different personal, learning and occupational needs of future foreign language students. It has been concluded that the outlined positive aspects of American experience in providing professional training of future foreign language teachers based on the experience of Lewis University can be implemented into the system of foreign language education in Ukraine in order to enhance quality and efficiency of these specialists’ training at Ukrainian higher education institutions.

Authors: Horetko Tetiana
Published: July 2018

Modern trends in professional training of IT managers in the global educational space have been characterized. Practical and theoretical aspects of global trends in modern education development – convergence (internationalization) and divergence – have been analyzed (including updating the content of education, quantitative and qualitative changes in the student population, competition among educational institutions, partnership with businesses), and economic and demographic factors behind them are outlined. Trends in general professional training of managers (diversification of educational institutions, differentiation of educational business programs, close ties between the system of managers’ training, R&D and businesses) and IT managers specifically (with regard to the multiple nature of IT management and Ukraine’s IT segment specificity) have been detailed. Special emphasis has been given to IT managers’ foreign language competence. The range of skills that IT managers need to have in order to meet modern labor market requirements at both national and international levels has been analyzed. It has been concluded that professional training of IT managers is taking on a great significance in the view of modern labor market needs, thus proving further research of IT management specifics and possible ways to expand existing IT management curricula to be a vital task. It has been substantiated that IT managers are not only technical specialists but also managers, they should be ready for self-improvement in this direction too – know and apply innovative approaches to strategic business planning and personnel management, monitor legislative changes, etc. As the sector of IT management sees bright prospects and demand for IT managers keeps growing, professional training of them is taking on a great significance.
Vocational Training of Future Agricultural Specialists: European Experience
Authors: Barbinov Vitalii
Published: July 2018

The article focuses on vocational training of future agricultural specialists in the context of European experience. Thus, theoretical framework of the research has been thoroughly justified. It includes the prominent documents of European authorities such as the Charter of European Agricultural Education, CAP context indicators for 2014–2020, European Parliament’s publications, Eurostat statistics such glossary of farmers training level terms, as well as respected researches of many European scholars (A. Miceli, A. Moore, M. Mulder et al.). It has been found that European approach to organizing vocational training of future agricultural specialists is rather multiaspect and strives to fulfill educational needs of majority of learners, namely, through practical agricultural training, basic agricultural training and full-time agricultural trainings. It has been clarified that more and more young people realize the importance of the agricultural sector to the overall prosperity of the European Union; therefore they seek quality vocational training based on relevant vocational schools. It has been stated that European Union constantly develops various strategies for developing the agricultural sector, in particular through enhancing quality of future agricultural specialists’ vocational training. It has been defined that despite the fact that low incomes, certain risks, uncertainties in an economic environment due to globalization processes may somehow discourage younger generations to pursue career in agriculture, the CA implements different mechanisms for sustaining stable development of agricultural education. It has been specified that such countries as France and Germany regularly update the content of agricultural education so that it takes into account the trends in vocational training of future agricultural specialists opportunity and allows applying the most advanced teaching technologies, promoting knowledge significance, widening access to all levels of education, implementing a system of lifelong learning, individualizing agricultural education. It has been outlined that the prospects for further studies are seen in studying the most important aspects in the legal framework of the agricultural education system in innovative experience of European countries, the USA, Canada, Australia, etc.
A History of Mobile Stroke Units and Review of Literature
Authors: Towner James , Pieters Thomas , Schmidt Tyler , Pilcher Webster , Bhalla Tarun
Published: July 2018

Using intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA), improved functional outcomes are seen with earlier initiation of treatment. Recent studies have shown endovascular revascularization to be a revolutionary and effective treatment. There have been many initiatives focused on improving public education and awareness of stroke symptoms. The concept of a mobile stroke unit (MSU) was created as a way of bringing treatment to patients. Earlier CT scans, delivery of tPA, proper triage and on-scene goal-directed care were the primary goals with these units. It was thought that rapid implementation would shorten hospital stay and improve outcomes. The University of Saarland found a decrease of 41 minutes from stroke alarm to therapeutic decision when an MSU was used. A second trial found a decrease of 25 minutes in time to treatment, an increase in the rate of thrombolysis utilization, and no change in the rates of intracranial hemorrhage or 7-day mortality when an MSU was employed. In 2016, a Lancet article showed that 3 month modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and 3-month mortality were improved in MSU patients. Finally, starting thrombolytic therapy in the MSU was associated with higher probability of mRS of 0-3 but not an improved 3-month survival rate. Long-term results are thus far not available precluding an effective cost-benefit analysis. Many study results are not generalizable as they compare a single hospital system and specialized MSU team to conventional care delivered by a multiple healthcare systems. Future studies will target these limitations.

ABSTRAKSaat ini, cahaya tampak dimanfaatkan oleh manusia hanya sebagai penerangan saja. Akan tetapi, beberapa penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa cahaya tampak dapat dimanfaatkan pula pada sistem komunikasi, yang dinamakan Visible Light Communication (VLC). Pada penelitian ini, sebuah metoda menggunakan color filter diidentifikasi dalam mengimplementasikan sistem bidirectional pada teknologi VLC. Dengan adanya penelitian ini, sebuah sistem bidirectional Visible Light Communication (Bi-VLC) dapat diimplementasikan dengan menggunakan color filter tertentu yang dipasangkan pada posisi uplink dan downlink. Sinyal informasi berupa sinyal audio ditansmisikan melalui VLC transmitter (Tx) yang dipasang color filter dan diterima oleh color filter pada VLC receiver (Rx) setelah melalui media cahaya. Pengujian menunjukan bahwa sistem telah dapat melewatkan sinyal pada frekuensi audio dengan jarak maksimum dari sistem adalah 2,3 m. Sedangkan pasangan color filter yang memiliki kinerja paling baik untuk BI-VLC adalah Azure (Tx) dengan Charteuse Green (Rx), Charteuse Green (Tx) dengan Charteuse Green (Rx), dan Rose (Tx) dengan Charteuse Green (Rx).Kata kunci: Bidirectional, Visible Light Communication (VLC), Color Filter, AudioABSTRACTCurrently, visible light are utilized by humans as illumination only. However, several research have proven that visible light can also be used in communication systems, called Visible Light Communication (VLC). In this research, a method of using color filters was identified for bidirectional systems on VLC technology. With this research, a bidirectional Visible Light Communication (Bi-VLC) system can be implemented using a specific color filter paired in uplink and downlink mode. The audio signal as information is transmitted through a VLC transmitter (Tx) installed by a color filter and received by the color filter on the VLC receiver (Rx) after going through the light media. The result shows that the system has been able to pass the signal at the audio frequency with the maximum distance of the system is 2.3 m. While the best performance of color filter pair for BI-VLC is Azure (Tx) with Charteuse Green (Rx), Charteuse Green (Tx) with Charteuse Green (Rx), and Rose (Tx) with Charteuse Green (Rx).Keywords: Bidirectional, Visible Light Communication (VLC), Color Filter, Audio
Correcciones atmosféricas relativas de imágenes de satélite: patrones invariantes múltiples e inversiones
Authors: Paz Pellat Fernando
Published: July 2018

La corrección de los efectos atmosféricos en imágenes de satélite es una tarea crucial para el entendimiento de los patrones espacio-temporales de las reflectancias e índices de vegetación en el análisis de la dinámica de la vegetación. En el presente trabajo se analizó el problema de inversión de modelos de transferencia de radiación de la atmósfera mediante el uso de los patrones invariantes de las líneas del suelo y de la vegetación densa, bajo un esquema de restricciones múltiples o def inición de relaciones a cumplir. Las inversiones de radiación se invirtieron al minimizar una función objetivo o de mérito asociada a las restricciones disponibles y a las relaciones funcionales de compactación (análisis multivariado) de simulaciones de radiación. Las líneas del suelo resultaron mejores con las dos restricciones disponibles, que para el uso de una sola restricción. En el caso general de usar todas las restricciones disponibles para las líneas del suelo y la vegetación densa, se lograron precisiones de clasif icación correcta del binomio atmósfera-aerosol mayores al 80%, sin conocimiento previo de esta información. En conclusión, cuando se usan las restricciones de las líneas del suelo y de la vegetación densa, las estimaciones mejoran para las constantes multiplicativas y las soluciones óptimas de los esquemas de inversión se ubican dentro de los mejores cinco valores que minimizan las funciones objetivo propuestas.

Authors: Figueroa Jáuregui María De Lourdes , Martínez Menez Mario Roberto , Ortíz Solorio Carlos Alberto , Fernández Reynoso Demetrio Salvador
Published: July 2018

El proceso de formación del suelo está determinado por la interacción de seis factores de formación: clima, organismos, topografía, material parental, tiempo y uso, la magnitud de cualquiera de las propiedades del suelo está determinada por la acción de estos factores. En este trabajo se determinaron cuáles son los factores de formación que influyen en el tipo y propiedades del suelo en la cuenca rancho Dolores en la región mixteca en el estado de Oaxaca. Se realizó un análisis de componentes principales y una clasif icación no supervisada para la delimitación de unidades de suelo, en las que se realizaron muestreos y análisis de laboratorio de algunas propiedades físicas y químicas. Los factores de formación que explicaron la variabilidad de los suelos de la cuenca fueron: pendiente, índice de posición topográf ica, material parental y uso del suelo. Se delimitaron cinco unidades de suelos con su distribución espacial en la cuenca y se asociaron con sus propiedades de textura, densidad aparente, capacidad de campo, punto de marchitez permanente, porciento de saturación, conductividad hidráulica saturada, pH y contenido de materia orgánica. Existe una fuerte relación entre los parámetros del relieve y los suelos, por lo que se recomienda el estudio de la formación, distribución, y cartografía de los suelos desde un punto de vista geomorfológico, así como del análisis de la vegetación.

Published: July 2018

Los inoculantes microbianos poseen gran importancia ecológica y económica en la agricultura. Se evaluó la efectividad agrobiológica de la inoculación de cepas microbianas en sorgo (D-47) cultivado en condiciones de riego y temporal. Fueron seis cepas experimentales de hongos micorrízicos arbusculares [3 (Funneliformis mosseae), 20 (Gigaspora albida), 32 (F. mosseae), 35 (F. mosseae), 39 (F. mosseae) y 55 (Gigaspora albida)], un consorcio de bacterias promotoras de crecimiento [Pseudomonas spp. (Bacteriano 2709)] (Ba), micorriza arbuscular INIFAP (Rhizophagus intraradices) (M) y testigo fertilizado (TF), con dosis de 60-40-00 y 120-40-00, para temporal y riego, respectivamente. Se midió clorof ila (SPAD), nitrógeno (N), fósforo (P), hierro (Fe) y zinc (Zn) foliar, biomasas foliar y radical, colonización micorrízica y rendimiento de grano. Las cepas microbianas influyeron de forma diferente en las características de sorgo sembrado en los agroambientes. En general se observó mejor respuesta del sorgo en la condición de riego. El contenido de Zn, la colonización micorrízica y biomasa radical, no fueron influenciados por la condición de humedad. En riego, los mayores índices de clorof ila fueron con TF y M; en la absorción de N destacaron TF, M y las cepas 3 y 32; los mayores valores de P se observaron con la cepa 35; para Fe sobresalió la cepa 32. Así mismo, el consorcio Bacteriano 2709 incrementó el Zn, mientras que en temporal fue la cepa 39. La mayor colonización se registró en M y cepas 55, 39 y 35. En rendimiento de grano, las cepas 39, 3 y M, fueron competitivas con TF y superaron al resto de los tratamientos. Los resultados demostraron que la expresión del potencial de los inoculantes microbianos en la nutrición y rendimiento de sorgo, variaron en función a la cepa utilizada y a la condición de riego y temporal.

Published: July 2018

La región montañosa de Veracruz es un ecosistema complejo por su f isiografía y vegetación natural en donde ocurren sistemas productivos agroforestales de café que son de alto valor económico para los productores. Estos sistemas presentan múltiples factores bióticos y abióticos que dif icultan su zonif icación y clasif icación y por ende está limitada la transferencia de tecnología entre productores y técnicos. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue generar mapas temáticos de la distribución y aptitud de la tierra con potencial productivo de cultivo de café en los sistemas agroforestales de la zona montañosa del municipio de Huatusco, Veracruz. Para ello se emplearon técnicas de análisis de percepción remota (PR), con enfoque paramétrico sobre Sistemas de Información Geográf ica (GIS), clasif icación interpretativa de tierras y conocimiento local. En la zona de estudio se presentan dos componentes agroforestales: bosque mesóf ilo de montaña (BMM) (27%) y potreros (Po) (16%) y tres subcomponentes: policultivo tradicional (Pt) y comercial (Pc) (36%), monocultivo especializado (Me) (3%) y zonas urbanas (Zu) (2.9%), identif icados a través de su brillantez y textura en una imagen de satélite; sin embargo, hay confusión entre la vegetación nativa y comercial. Con la participación de los productores, estos componentes se identif icaron con una precisión de 78.9% (Pc), 87.5% (Pt) y 100% (BMM, Pot, Me). La zona de mayor aptitud para la producción de café se localiza en la zona centro (23%); mientras que los de baja calidad en el centro y noreste (45.5%) del municipio. Los BMM ocurren en áreas no aptas para la producción de cultivo de café. La combinación entre técnicas geoespaciales con el conocimiento local de la aptitud de las tierras permite identif icar zonas con potencial productivo agrícola de café y dar elementos para la conservación de otros ambientes como el BMM.

İşletmenin sürekliliği
varsayımının muhasebe uygulamaları üzerinde doğrudan veya dolaylı etkileri
bulunmaktadır. Bu varsayım dönemsellik varsayımı, maliyet esası ve tutarlılık
kavramları ile yakın ilişki içerisinde olup tahakkuk esaslı kayıt mantığının
temel gerekçesidir. 20.
yy. öncesinde işletmenin sürekliliği varsayımına kavramsal olarak
rastlanılmamış olmakla birlikte bazı muhasebe uygulamalarının bu varsayım
temelinde gerçekleştirildiği öne sürülebilir. Nitekim Littleton (1933)
tahakkuk, amortisman ve değerleme işlemlerini işletmenin sürekliliği varsayımı
çerçevesinde yapılan işlemlere örnek olarak göstermiştir. Bu çalışma,
Littleton (1933)’un yaklaşımından yola çıkılarak işletmenin sürekliliği
varsayımına tarihsel bir bakış açısı sunmak suretiyle modern muhasebe
anlayışının gelişimi düşüncesine katkı sağlamak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.

WOMEN FARMERS EMPOWERMENT IN SOYBEAN CULTIVATION OF SUPERIOR VARIETIES RAW MATERIAL OF TOFU PRODUCTION. Soybean is one of the important crops containing high protein content. The demand of soybean increases from year to year, because the domestic production could not reach the market demand and it is still imported. Therefore, the necessary effort to increase soybean production must be done such as by expanding the planting area, planting superior varieties especially for raw materials of tofu, and the cultivation techniques. Sumedang is one of the centers of tofu production in West Java that has the suitable agro-climatic conditions for soybeanproduction as a raw material. Some of the farm communities have cultivated soybeans, however they still needs the efforts to increase the soybean production especially for the types of soybean for raw material of tofu production. The aim of IbM activity is to socialize and make a pilot demonstration plot of some of superior soybean varieties for tofu production in Sumedang. The results of these activities include: (1) the demonstration plots of soybean varieties, (2) producing the high seed quality of superior soybean varieties, (3) improving skill and knowledge of farmers in the cultivation of superior soybean varieties and also pest and disease control, (4) obtaining the samples of tofu from superior soybean varieties grown in partner locations.
Valoración de las estrategias adoptadas por docentes en la enseñanza de la ciencia desde la perspectiva de los estudiantes de educación básica
Authors: Veloza Rincón Ramiro Alejandro , Hernández Suárez César Augusto
Published: July 2018

Objetivos: caracterizar y evaluar el nivel de desarrollo de las competencias pedagógicas mediante las estrategias adoptadas por docentes de  Educación Básica en la enseñanza de la ciencia desde la perspectiva de los  estudiantes.

Metodología: se aplicó un enfoque metodológico cuantitativo de naturaleza  descriptiva y multifactorial. Los datos se obtuvieron entre los estudiantes de octavo y  noveno grado de la Institución Educativa Santiago Apóstol, Municipio de Santiago,  Norte de Santander, Colombia. Se utilizó una escala Likert diseñada para que los  estudiantes describieran la práctica pedagógica de los docentes del área de Ciencias Naturales desde los tres aspectos que se evalúa en el desarrollo de la competencia pedagógica: la planeación curricular, desarrollo curricular y seguimiento y mejora  (evaluación curricular).

Resultados: las pruebas estadísticas muestran que los docentes desarrollan prácticas pedagógicas reflexivas que requieren de refuerzo en la Estrategia Pedagógica (IEP) y  en las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC) que permitan un  desarrollo de competencias científicas más asertivas.

Conclusiones: se identifican estrategias que promueven el desarrollo de competencias científicas en los estudiantes y se devela la utilización de recursos  didácticos y prácticas de laboratorio que, sin embargo, no están articulados con las necesidades de los estudiantes.
Paridad del poder adquisitivo en el tipo de cambio colombiano

Published: July 2018

Objetivos: determinar el cumplimiento de la teoría de la Paridad del Poder Adquisitivo (PPA) en Colombia usando como patrón el tipo de cambio con el dólar estadounidense.

Metodología: para comprobar si se cumple la PPA en Colombia, se utilizaron  datos mensuales y trimestrales que van desde enero de 1959 a diciembre de 2015.  Para ello, se modelizó el comportamiento a largo plazo del tipo de cambio real,  contrastando la presencia de raíces unitarias y cambios estructurales; además, se usó  un modelo bivariado de cointegración.

Resultados: se encontró que, para el caso de Colombia, no se cumplió la teoría de  PPA, pues el peso y el dólar no están cointegrados. Por lo tanto, según la metodología  de raíz unitaria no se valida la hipótesis de PPA en Colombia para el periodo 1959-2015. Todo parece indicar que el peso colombiano presenta poca relación con el dólar  estadounidense.

Conclusiones: el uso de índices de precios generales que incluyen bienes  comercializables entre los países, las múltiples barreras al comercio internacional, la  competencia imperfecta y las diferencias sociales, económicas, políticas y culturales  entre los dos países, son aspectos importantes a la hora de explicar el incumplimiento de la PPA.

Published: July 2018

Objetivos: describir la preferencia por la democracia, la participación política, la información, el interés y el acatamiento a las decisiones de las mayorías, asociándolas con edad y nivel educativo. Además, se busca tipificar la participación política de los jóvenes universitarios del Estado de Hidalgo, México e identificar su confianza en las  instituciones democráticas.

Metodología: investigación documental sobre el contexto sociopolíticode Hidalgo. Se aplicó un método mixto con encuesta de ciudadanía y participaciónrepresentativa en Hidalgo, lo mismo que entrevistas y grupos focales.

Resultados: se evidenció preferencia por la democracia independiente de edad,  énero, nivel educativo e ingreso; también se halló desinformación, desinterés y poca participación política, desconfianza en las autoridades democráticas y poco acatamiento de decisiones mayoritarias. Los jóvenes universitarios hidalguenses sin  participación política tienen un discurso sobre ésta basado en el temor; quienes participan convencionalmente poseen un discurso fundado en el realismo que defiende  el impacto de la agenda política en la sociedad; y los que lo hacen con  formas no convencionales mantienen un discurso de politización enmarcado en la falta de confianza en los mecanismos existentes de participación convencional.

Conclusiones: los universitarios hidalguenses se sitúan en un contexto sociopolítico adverso a la participación política. Se expresan a través de tres tipos de participación política: no participantes (experiencial con baja participación), participación  convencional (realista con participación en partidos) y no convencional (politizada con participación en movimientos sociales).

An interesting prospective pseudomorphic overlayer on bcc surface material as implemented in Pd pseudomorphic overlayer on V(110) surface has been introduced in the frame work of first-principles calculation. Adsorption and decomposition of H2S molecule were calculated on this overlayer structure. In comparison, we also calculated them on their bare V(110) and Pd(111) surfaces. It was found that Pseudomorphic overlayer surface structure weakened the adsorption energy of H2S, SH, S and H compared to its bare Pd(111) and V(110) surfaces. Furthermore, Pd/V(110) surface was found to have higher activation energy barrier for H2S and SH dissociation than its bare Pd(111) and V(110) do. Pd/V(110) surface is predicted to be a promising catalyst membrane used in gas-shift reactor technology because besides its advantage to absorb hydrogen with very high permeation coefficient, sulfur atom is predicted to be adsorbed in a limited amount.

The results of this study showed that theunderstanding of Indonesian lecturers and researchers regarding publications in indexingdatabases SINTA, DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar is that, on average,66,5% have known about SINTA, DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar.However, based on empirical frequency 76% of them have never published with journals orproceedings indexed in Scopus
OPPOSITION TO INBREEDING AMONG CLOSE KIN

Due to the intense selection pressure against inbreeding, humans are expected to possess psychological adaptations that regulate mate choice and avoid inbreeding. From a gene’s-eye perspective, there is little difference in the evolutionary costs between situations where an individual him/herself is participating in inbreeding and inbreeding among other close relatives. The difference is merely quantitative, as fitness can be compromised via both routes. The question is whether humans are sensitive to the direct as well as indirect costs of inbreeding. Using responses from a large population-based sample (27,364 responses from 2,353 participants), we found that human motivations to avoid inbreeding closely track the theoretical costs of inbreeding as predicted by inclusive-fitness theory. Participants were asked to select in a forced choice paradigm, which of two acts of inbreeding with actual family members they would want to avoid most. We found that the estimated fitness costs explained 83.6% of participant choices. Importantly, fitness costs explained choices also when the self was not involved. We conclude that humans intuit the indirect fitness costs of mating decisions made by close family members and that psychological inbreeding avoidance mechanisms extend beyond self-regulation.

Benchmarking of Siemens Linac in Electron Modes: 8-14 MeV Electron Beams
Authors: Dowlatabadi H , Mowlavi A A , Ghorbani M , Mohammadi S , Akbari F
Published: July 2018

Introduction: Radiation therapy using electron beams is a promising method due to its physical dose distribution. Monte Carlo (MC) code is the best and most accurate technique for forespeaking the distribution of dose in radiation treatment of patients.Materials and Methods: We report an MC simulation of a linac head and depth dose on central axis, along with profile calculations. The purpose of the present research is to carefully analyze the application of MC methods for the calculation of dosimetric parameters for electron beams with energies of 8–14 MeV at a Siemens Primus linac. The principal components of the linac head were simulated using MCNPX code for different applicators. Results: The consequences of measurements and simulations revealed a good agreement. Gamma index values were below 1 for most points, for all energy values and all applicators in percent depth dose and dose profile computations. A number of states exhibited rather large gamma indices; these points were located at the tail of the percent depth dose graph; these points were less used in in radiotherapy. In the dose profile graph, gamma indices of most parts were below 1. The discrepancies between the simulation results and measurements in terms of Zmax, R90, R80 and R50 were insignificant. The results of Monte Carlo simulations showed a good agreement with the measurements. Conclusion: The software can be used for simulating electron modes of a Siemens Primus linac when direct experimental measurements are not feasible.
