Fault Diagnosis of Wind Turbine Gearbox Based on Neighborhood QPSO and Improved D-S Evidence Theory
Authors: Cheng Jiatang , Xiong Yan , Ai Li
Published: December 2018

Background:

Gearbox is the key equipment of wind turbine drive chain. Due to the harsh
operating environment of wind turbine, gearbox failures occur frequently.

Methods:

To improve the accuracy of fault identification for wind turbine gearbox, an intelligent
fault diagnosis method based on Neighborhood Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (NQSPO)
and improved Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory is proposed. In NQPSO algorithm, the best
solution information in the neighborhood is introduced to guide the individual search behavior and
enhance the population diversity. Also, the consistency coefficient is used to determine the weight of
evidence, and the original evidence is amended to enhance the ability of D-S theory to fuse conflict
evidence.

Results:

Experimental results show that the proposed method can overcome the influence of bad evidence
on the diagnosis result and has high reliability.

Conclusion:

The research can effectively improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis of wind turbine
gearbox, and provide a feasible idea for the fault diagnosis of nonlinear complex system.
The Service User Technology Acceptability Questionnaire: Psychometric Evaluation of the Norwegian Version (Preprint)
Authors: Torbjørnsen Astrid , Småstuen Milada C , Jenum Anne Karen , Årsand Eirik , Ribu Lis
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

When developing a mobile health app, users’ perception of the technology should preferably be evaluated. However, few standardized and validated questionnaires measuring acceptability are available.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to assess the validity of the Norwegian version of the Service User Technology Acceptability Questionnaire (SUTAQ).

METHODS

Persons with type 2 diabetes randomized to the intervention groups of the RENEWING HEALTH study used a diabetes diary app. At the one-year follow-up, participants in the intervention groups (n=75) completed the self-reported instrument SUTAQ to measure the acceptability of the equipment. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis for evaluating the fit of the original five-factor structure of the SUTAQ.

RESULTS

We confirmed only 2 of the original 5 factors of the SUTAQ, perceived benefit and care personnel concerns.

CONCLUSIONS

The original five-factor structure of the SUTAQ was not confirmed in the Norwegian study, indicating that more research is needed to tailor the questionnaire to better reflect the Norwegian setting. However, a small sample size prevented us from drawing firm conclusions about the translated questionnaire.

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Pain Squad is an evidence-based, freely available iOS app designed to assess pain in children with cancer. Once research-based technologies such as Pain Squad are validated, it is important to evaluate their performance in natural settings to optimize their real-world clinical use.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation effectiveness of Pain Squad in a natural setting.

METHODS

Parents of 149 children with cancer (aged 8-18 years) were contacted to invite their child to participate. Participating children downloaded Pain Squad on their own iOS devices from the Apple App Store and reported their pain using the app twice daily for 1 week. Participants then emailed their pain reports from the app to the research team and completed an online survey on their experiences. Key implementation outcomes included acceptability, appropriateness, cost, feasibility, fidelity, penetration, and sustainability.

RESULTS

Of the 149 parents contacted, 16 of their children agreed to participate. More than a third (6/16, 37.5%) of participating children returned their pain reports to the research team. Adherence to the pain assessments was 62.1% (mean 8.7/14 assessments). The 6 children who returned reports rated the app as highly feasible to download and use and rated their overall experience as acceptable. They also reported that they would be willing to sustain their Pain Squad use over several weeks and that they would recommend it to other children with cancer, which suggests that it may have potential for penetration.

CONCLUSIONS

While Pain Squad was well received by the small number of children who completed the study, user uptake, engagement, and adherence were significant barriers to the implementation of Pain Squad in a natural setting. Implementation studies such as this highlight important challenges and opportunities for promoting the use and uptake of evidence-based technologies by the intended end-users.
Digitizing a Face-to-Face Group Fatigue Management Program: Exploring the Views of People With Multiple Sclerosis and Health Care Professionals Via Consultation Groups and Interviews (Preprint)

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and is the main reason why people with MS stop working early. The MS Society in the United Kingdom funded a randomized controlled trial of FACETS—a face-to-face group-based fatigue management program for people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS)—developed by members of the research team. Given the favorable trial results and to help with implementation, the MS Society supported the design and printing of the FACETS manual and materials and the national delivery of FACETS training courses (designed by the research team) for health care professionals (HCPs). By 2015 more than 1500 pwMS had received the FACETS program, but it is not available in all areas and a face-to-face format may not be suitable for, or appeal to, everyone. For these reasons, the MS Society funded a consultation to explore an alternative Web-based model of service delivery.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to gather views about a Web-based model of service delivery from HCPs who had delivered FACETS and from pwMS who had attended FACETS.

METHODS

Telephone consultations were undertaken with FACETS-trained HCPs who had experience of delivering FACETS (n=8). Three face-to-face consultation groups were held with pwMS who had attended the FACETS program: London (n=4), Liverpool (n=4), and Bristol (n=7). The interviews and consultation groups were digitally recorded and transcribed. A thematic analysis was undertaken to identify key themes. Toward the end of the study, a roundtable meeting was held to discuss outcomes from the consultation with representatives from the MS Society, HCPs, and pwMS.

RESULTS

Key challenges and opportunities of designing and delivering an integrated Web-based version of FACETS and maintaining user engagement were identified across 7 themes (delivery, online delivery, design, group, engagement, interactivity, and HCP relationships). Particularly of interest were themes related to replicating the group dynamics and the lack of high-quality solutions that would support the FACETS’ weekly homework tasks and symptom monitoring and management.

CONCLUSIONS

A minimum viable Web-based version of FACETS was suggested as the best starting point for a phased implementation, enabling a solution that could then be added to over time. It was also proposed that a separate study should look to create a free stand-alone digital toolkit focusing on the homework elements of FACETS. This study has commenced with a first version of the toolkit in development involving pwMS throughout the design and build stages to ensure a user-centered solution.
Using a Mobile Social Networking App to Promote Physical Activity: A Qualitative Study of Users’ Perspectives (Preprint)
Authors: Tong Huong Ly , Coiera Enrico , Laranjo Liliana
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Despite many health benefits of physical activity, nearly a third of the world’s adult population is insufficiently active. Technological interventions, such as mobile apps, wearable trackers, and Web-based social networks, offer great promise in promoting physical activity, but little is known about users’ acceptability and long-term engagement with these interventions.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to understand users’ perspectives regarding a mobile social networking intervention to promote physical activity.

METHODS

Participants, mostly university students and staff, were recruited using purposive sampling techniques. Participants were enrolled in a 6-month feasibility study where they were provided with a wearable physical activity tracker (Fitbit Flex 2) and a wireless scale (Fitbit Aria) integrated with a social networking mobile app (named “fit.healthy.me”). We conducted semistructured, in-depth qualitative interviews and focus groups pre- and postintervention, which were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed in Nvivo 11 using thematic analysis techniques.

RESULTS

In this study, 55 participants were enrolled; 51% (28/55) were females, and the mean age was 23.6 (SD 4.6) years. The following 3 types of factors emerged from the data as influencing engagement with the intervention and physical activity: individual (self-monitoring of behavior, goal setting, and feedback on behavior), social (social comparison, similarity and familiarity between users, and participation from other users in the network), and technological. In addition, automation and personalization were observed as enhancing the delivery of both individual and social aspects. Technological limitations were mentioned as potential barriers to long-term usage.

CONCLUSIONS

Self-regulatory techniques and social factors are important to consider when designing a physical activity intervention, but a one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to satisfy different users’ preferences. Future research should adopt innovative research designs to test interventions that can adapt and respond to users’ needs and preferences throughout time.
An Analytics Platform to Evaluate Effective Engagement With Pediatric Mobile Health Apps: Design, Development, and Formative Evaluation (Preprint)
Authors: Pham Quynh , Graham Gary , Lalloo Chitra , Morita Plinio P , Seto Emily , Stinson Jennifer N , Cafazzo Joseph A
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Mobile health (mHealth) apps for pediatric chronic conditions are growing in availability and challenge investigators to conduct rigorous evaluations that keep pace with mHealth innovation. Traditional research methods are poorly suited to operationalize the agile, iterative trials required to evidence and optimize these digitally mediated interventions.

OBJECTIVE

We sought to contribute a resource to support the quantification, analysis, and visualization of analytic indicators of effective engagement with mHealth apps for chronic conditions.

METHODS

We applied user-centered design methods to design and develop an Analytics Platform to Evaluate Effective Engagement (APEEE) with consumer mHealth apps for chronic conditions and implemented the platform to analyze both retrospective and prospective data generated from a smartphone-based pain self-management app called iCanCope for young people with chronic pain.

RESULTS

Through APEEE, we were able to automate the process of defining, operationalizing, and evaluating effective engagement with iCanCope. Configuring the platform to integrate with the app was feasible and provided investigators with a resource to consolidate, analyze, and visualize engagement data generated by participants in real time. Preliminary efforts to evaluate APEEE showed that investigators perceived the platform to be an acceptable evaluative resource and were satisfied with its design, functionality, and performance. Investigators saw potential in APEEE to accelerate and augment evidence generation and expressed enthusiasm for adopting the platform to support their evaluative practice once fully implemented.

CONCLUSIONS

Dynamic, real-time analytic platforms may provide investigators with a powerful means to characterize the breadth and depth of mHealth app engagement required to achieve intended health outcomes. Successful implementation of APEEE into evaluative practice may contribute to the realization of effective and evidence-based mHealth care.
Mobile Apps to Support Healthy Family Food Provision: Systematic Assessment of Popular, Commercially Available Apps (Preprint)
Authors: Mauch Chelsea E , Wycherley Thomas P , Laws Rachel A , Johnson Brittany J , Bell Lucinda K , Golley Rebecca K
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Modern families are facing conflicting demands on their time and resources, which may be at the detriment of child and family diet quality. Innovative nutrition interventions providing parents with behavioral support for the provision of healthy food could alleviate this issue. Mobile apps have the potential to deliver such interventions by providing practical behavioral support remotely, interactively, and in context.

OBJECTIVE

This review aimed to identify and assess popular, commercially available food- and nutrition-related mobile apps that offer support for the provision of healthy family food by (1) describing app scope and characteristics, (2) assessing app quality, and (3) conducting a behavioral analysis of app content and features.

METHODS

Searches in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store between August 2017 and November 2017 identified apps addressing the food provision process. Apps were included if they were applicable to parents or families, written in English, and with a user rating of ≥4 stars. Weight loss and diet monitoring apps and subscription apps with no free versions were excluded. App quality was assessed using the Mobile App Rating Scale (4 domains: engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information). App content and features were extracted and behavior change techniques (BCTs) identified.

RESULTS

Of the 2881 apps screened, 1.77% (51/2881) were included for assessment, comprising 23 recipe and recipe manager apps, 12 meal planning apps, 10 shopping list apps, 4 family organizers, and 2 food choice apps. Half (n=26) of the apps functioned primarily through user data input. Food choice and family organizer apps scored highest for app quality (mean 3.5 [SD 0.6] out of 5), whereas most apps scored well for functionality and poorly for engagement. Common app features with the potential to support healthy food provision included meal planners (n=26), shopping lists (n=44), and the ability to share app content (n=48). Behavioral support features mapped to relatively few BCTs (mean 3.9 [SD 1.9] per app), with Adding objects to the environment present in all apps, and 65% (33/51) including Instruction on how to perform the behavior.

CONCLUSIONS

Recipe and recipe manager apps, meal planning apps, and family organizers with integrated meal planning and shopping lists scored well for functionality and incorporated behavioral support features that could be used to address barriers to healthy food provision, although features were focused on planning behaviors. Future apps should combine a range of features such as meal planners, shopping lists, simple recipes, reminders and prompts, and food ordering to reduce the burden of the food provision pathway and incorporate a range of BCTs to maximize behavior change potential. Researchers and developers should consider features and content that improve the engagement quality of such apps.
App-Based Intervention Combining Evidence-Based Behavior Change Techniques With a Model-Based Reasoning System to Promote Physical Activity Among Young Adults (Active2Gether): Descriptive Study of the Development and Content (Preprint)
Authors: Middelweerd Anouk , te Velde Saskia J , Mollee Julia S , Klein Michel CA , Brug Johannes
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

The Active2Gether intervention is an app-based intervention designed to help and encourage young adults to become and remain physically active by means of personalized, real-time activity tracking and context-specific feedback.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to describe the development and content of the Active2Gether intervention for physical activity promotion.

METHODS

A systematic and stepwise approach was used to develop the Active2Gether intervention. This included formulating objectives and a theoretical framework, selecting behavior change techniques, specifying the tailoring, pilot testing, and describing an evaluation protocol.

RESULTS

The development of the Active2Gether intervention comprised seven steps: analyzing the (health) problem, developing a program framework, writing (tailored) messages, developing tailoring assessments, developing the Active2Gether intervention, pilot testing, and testing and evaluating the intervention. The primary objective of the intervention was to increase the total time spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity for those who do not meet the Dutch guideline, maintain physical activity levels of those who meet the guideline, or further increase physical activity levels if they so indicated. The theoretical framework is informed by the social cognitive theory, and insights from other theories and evidence were added for specific topics. Development of the intervention content and communication channel resulted in the development of an app that provides highly tailored coaching messages that are framed in an autonomy-supportive style. These coaching messages include behavior change techniques aiming to address relevant behavioral determinants (eg, self-efficacy and outcome expectations) and are partly context specific. A model-based reasoning engine has been developed to tailor the intervention with respect to the type of support provided by the app, send relevant and context-specific messages to the user, and tailor the graphs displayed in the app. For the input of the tailoring, different instruments and sensors are used, such as an activity monitor (Fitbit One), Web-based and mobile questionnaires, and the location services on the user’s mobile phone.

CONCLUSIONS

The systematic and stepwise approach resulted in an intervention that is based on theory and input from end users. The use of a model-based reasoning system to provide context-specific coaching messages goes beyond many existing eHealth and mHealth interventions.
The Emergence and Divergence in Performance: Management Systems in California State Government
Authors: Callahan Richard F.
Published: December 2018

An understudied aspect of performance management systems is how performance management systems emerge in public agencies. This research focuses on the emergence of performance management systems, studying two cases with divergent outcomes in the State of California. The first case study is about the Performance Management Council, which included the voluntary participation of more than 20 California state agencies, departments, and divisions. The second case study is about the Department of Toxic Substances Control within the California Environmental Protection Agency. These cases, which impacted 35 million residents in a state with a $200 billion annual budget, potentially offer findings valuable to nations and to large sub-national units of government such as large states, districts, and provinces.

This research offers three contributions to public sector performance management research literature. First, it addresses a gap in the understanding of how performance management systems emerge through dialogue and learning forums. Second, the research extends the study of performance management to the policy arenas of environmental protection, water resources, and other policy domains typically not researched in performance management. Third, the research connects performance management to the research on the reform of public agencies, diffusion of practices, and organizational change.

Este artigo analisa a construção de um referencial sobre inclusão produtiva a partir das oficinas temáticas do Programa Nacional de Inovação e Sustentabilidade na Agricultura Familiar no Estado do Tocantins. O objetivo é compreender qual concepção de inclusão produtiva tem sido produzida nestes espaços públicos de ação da política. A metodologia envolveu análise documental e observação participante entre 2014 e 2015. Os resultados apontam que as oficinas criaram um ambiente de integração e compartilhamento de expectativas, o que pode corroborar com a formação de nichos de inovação e espaços de concertação para a promoção da inclusão produtiva dos agricultores familiares. Ao mesmo tempo, demonstra que as principais demandas em termos de inclusão apontam para uma concepção direcionada pelos princípios atinentes à modernização da agricultura.
Exact Ising model simulation on a quantum computer
Authors: Cervera-Lierta Alba
Published: December 2018

We present an exact simulation of a one-dimensional transverse Ising spin chain with a quantum computer. We construct an efficient quantum circuit that diagonalizes the Ising Hamiltonian and allows to obtain all eigenstates of the model by just preparing the computational basis states. With an explicit example of that circuit for n=4 spins, we compute the expected value of the ground state transverse magnetization, the time evolution simulation and provide a method to also simulate thermal evolution. All circuits are run in IBM and Rigetti quantum devices to test and compare them qualitatively.

Published: December 2018

Este artigo constitui um recorte de investigação com o objetivo de verificar a forma como é abordada a ortografia em uma coleção de livros didáticos de Língua Portuguesa para o Ensino Fundamental. Com base em pressupostos teórico-metodológicos propostos por autores como Cagliari (2002), Morais (2003), Morais e Silva (2007) e Melo (2007), que defendem uma abordagem reflexiva do ensino e da aprendizagem de ortografia, faz-se um levantamento de como a ortografia é abordada na coleção “Português: linguagens”, de Cereja e Magalhães (2015), amplamente utilizada em escolas públicas da região Oeste do Paraná, buscando verificar se o material propõe atividades baseadas em uma perspectiva de reflexão sobre as regularidades e irregularidades da norma ortográfica ou se ainda está vinculado a uma abordagem tradicional.
Qual o lugar da diferença numa escola sem partido?
Authors: De Moura Fernanda Pereira , Araujo Cinthia Monteiro de
Published: December 2018

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as concepções sobre as relações entre escola e diferenças veiculadas pelo Movimento Escola Sem Partido. Para isso, examinamos o conteúdo de dois dos PLs que restringem a autonomia docente em sala de aula: o PL 1411/2015 e o PL 867/2015; uma fala do coordenador do Movimento Escola Sem Partido, Miguel Nagib, na audiência pública do PL 7.180; e três textos contidos no Blog De olho no livro Didático de Orley José da Silva, listado na página inicial do site do Movimento Escola Sem Partido. Entendemos que o tema das diferenças e identidades culturais é objeto privilegiado de elaborações dentro do movimento e que isso é feito em diálogo com a produção acadêmica sobre o tema. Esse diálogo, no entanto, acontece de maneira enviesada e em direta contradição com a produção científica sobre o assunto. Ao questionarmos o lugar da diferença na escola a partir de uma perspectiva conceitual que dá centralidade à dimensão cultural dos currículos, percebemos o Escola Sem Partido como um discurso que busca ser uma política cultural com forte impacto sobre as práticas curriculares.
Educadoras protestantes em São Paulo:
Authors: Nicolete Jamilly Nicácio , Almeida Jane Soares de
Published: December 2018

A partir do século XIX, missionários protestantes chegaram ao Brasil com o objetivo de divulgar a fé e o modo de vida de seu país de origem. Com eles vieram esposas, filhas e mulheres sem vínculo matrimonial, que se dedicaram ao trabalho educativo como parte da Missão. A expansão do território e a intensificação do comércio justificavam a ação missionária que se processava a mando do imperialismo, com o argumento da missão divina, o que possibilitava a consequente expansão capitalista e vinha ao encontro dos interesses econômicos e políticos dos Estados Unidos. As missionárias norte-americanas radicaram-se nos vários estados brasileiros, em especial em São Paulo. Uma delas se destacou nesse cenário: Mary Parker Dascomb, autora de cartas que foram preservadas, as quais demonstram modos de pensar, estilo de vida e a crença inabalável na fé protestante como campo de missão social e educativo. Compreender, a partir de diferentes escritos, o trabalho dessas missionárias e educadoras é o objetivo central deste texto.

TECHNÉ, TECNOLOGIA E A CRÍTICA DO DEUS METAFÍSICO EM HEIDEGGER
Authors: Silva Guilherme Cavalcante
Published: December 2018

Uma das principais inquietações do denominado segundo Heidegger é acerca da técnica moderna e sua instauração como 'ápice' da metafísica, a consumação do processo histórico de fixação e mensuração do Ser. Embora já presente no clássico 'Ser e Tempo', é na conferência 'A Questão da Técnica' que o filósofo alemão trabalha a técnica para além de uma abordagem instrumental e orientada para os objetos técnicos. Para ele, técnica é o modo pelo qual as coisas se apresentam como existentes para o ser humano na contemporaneidade, como coisas passíveis de produção, problematização, cálculo e reprodutibilidade. Heidegger aponta este pensamento como sendo o ápice de uma história (Seingeschichte) de constante apreensão do Ser que se inicia com os gregos, através de Platão. A partir da crítica de Heidegger à metafísica e de sua forma de expressão contemporânea, a técnica, este trabalho busca traçar, por meio da própria reflexão do filósofo no texto acima citado e em outras obras, uma crítica da teologia conforme esta se desenvolveu dentro da metafísica e se encontra na era da técnica moderna. Desta maneira, procura contribuir para se pensar Deus e a teologia fora da metafísica. A análise teórica conta também com uma revisão bibliográfica de autores intérpretes da filosofia heideggeriana.
EXPERIÊNCIA SAGRADA DO POVO YE’KUANA
Authors: Ferreira Eleusa Socorro do Carmo
Published: December 2018

O povo Ye’kuana vive nos estados Amazonas e Bolívar localizados ao sul da Venezuela. Um pequeno grupo habita no Brasil, em Roraima. Os Ye’kuana vivem numa sociedade que não tem construções de templos. Por isso, não raras vezes são interpretados pelos ocidentais como um povo não religioso. O presente artigo busca compreender e evidenciar a experiência sagrada dos Ye’kuana a partir da análise de duas representações simbólicas: A Ättä, a casa comunitária, e a A’daja, a roça. A obra de Mircea Eliade, O Sagrado e o Profano, ajuda a compreender como eles podem conectar com o mundo do Ser Supremo Wanadi vivendo na Terra que está nas mãos de Odosha, opositor de Wanadi. Como recurso metodológico privilegia os anos de convivência que a autora tem com os Ye’kuana.
O PARALELO ENTRE CIÊNCIA E RELIGIÃO NO PENSAMENTO DE RUBEM ALVES
Authors: Godoi Bernardo Sollar
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar a concepção de ciência e de religião de Rubem Alves, com a proposta de extrair os seguintes aspectos: (1) a ciência e a religião se equivalem funcionalmente como linguagens possíveis que se destinam a ordenar o mundo – cada uma delas possuem características próprias para construir laços sociais e interpretar os fenômenos do mundo; e (2) a impossibilidade de a ciência moderna conhecer a religião, visto que tomar a religião como objeto distanciado da experiência humana retira o caráter essencial que a constitui, a saber, a experiência substancialmente subjetiva (a experiência emocional, estética e ética).

Published: December 2018

Проблема роста уровня алиментарно-зависимых заболеваний в настоящее время имеет глобальные масштабы. Целью исследования были изучение уровня потребления основных продуктов питания и оценка показателей алиментарно-зависимых заболеваний населения Воронежской области. Баланс потребления продуктов питания изучали по данным территориального управления Росстата по Воронежской области за два пятилетних периода (1995–1999 гг. и 2012–2016 гг.). Анализ алиментарно-зависимой заболеваемости выполняли по данным обращаемости населения за медицинской помощью с последующим ранжированием показателей на отдельных территориях на пять уровней. За два пятилетних периода произошли существенные изменения в характере питания: увеличилось потребление в расчете на одного жителя рыбопродуктов, свежих фруктов, мяса и мясных продуктов, овощей и бахчевых, яиц, растительного масла, молока и молочных продуктов. Вместе с тем наблюдается избыточное потребление сахара, хлебных продуктов, картофеля — от 1,42 до 2,04 раз, что свидетельствует о преобладании в рационе углеводной составляющей. По результатам оценки, отмечается достоверное увеличение показателей заболеваемости ожирением до 4,5 раз, анемией, болезнями эндокринной системы (в 1,8–2 раза) и болезнями органов пищеварения (в 1,2 раза). Приоритеты в профилактике алиментарно-зависимой заболеваемости должны быть отданы территориям риска.

Целью работы было исследовать влияние на свойства аурумакрила следующих параметров проведения реакции его синтеза: молекулярная масса полиакрилатного полимера (в диапазоне 2–1000 кДа), наличие в качестве противоиона H+ или Na+, соотношение иона тетрахлораурата и звена полиакрилатного полимера (1 : 5 или 1 : 10), общая концентрация полиакрилатного полимера в момент синтеза (0,1 или 3%), а также влияние лиофильного высушивания аурумакрила. Сопоставление цитотоксической активности полученных образцов аурумакрила со значительно различающимся соотношением ионов золота и полиакрилатного полимера в отношении клеток карциномы молочной железы человека MCF-7 позволило установить, что удельное содержание в препарате полиакрилатного полимера и его молекулярная масса практически не сказываются на биологических свойствах конечного продукта. Методом УФ-спектроскопии показано влияние концентрации ионов Au (III) в аурумакриле на их цитотоксическую активность.
Von Alexander lernen heißt siegen lernen: Ailianos’ taktische Ratschläge für Kaiser Trajan
Authors: BRODERSEN Kai
Published: December 2018

The present paper is a general survey of the work of an Aelianus who dedicated his Taktika to Trajan on the eve of the Parthian wars. The work, which has often been overlooked, shows how a contemporary scholar assumed that a knowledge of the tactics used by Alexander against the Persians (as predecessors to the Parthians) could still lead to success.
Rezumat: A învăţa de la Alexandru înseamnă a învăţa să învingi: Sfaturile tactice ale lui Ailianos pentru împăratul Traian. Articolul este o prezentare generală a operei unui anume Ailianos, altminteri necunoscut, care i-a dedicat lui Traian în ajunul campaniilor parthice o operă deseori neglijată despre Taktika. Ea arată că un cărturar avea convingerea cum cunoaşterea tacticii lui Alexandru cel Mare împotriva perşilor (ca înaintaşi ai părţilor) poate aduce succes militar.
Cuvinte-cheie: Traian – Ailianos – Taktika – Polybios – tactică – parţi.
Influencia de la viabilidad percibida por los profesores en el desarrollo de estrategias motivacionales sobre la motivación del alumnado en clase Educación Física
Authors: Franco Evelia , Coterón Javier
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la percepción de los profesores de educación física respecto a la viabilidad de estrategias para favorecer la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas del alumnado (NPB), así como comprobar si dicha percepción influye sobre la satisfacción de las NPB, la motivación auto-determinada, el gusto por la Educación Física (EF) y la importancia concedida a la materia por parte de sus estudiantes. Participaron 66 profesores de EF (M = 42.12; DT = 9.29) y 1577 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria (M = 15.11; DT = 1.72) de tres países. A los docentes se les administró una herramienta creada ad hoc para medir su percepción sobre la viabilidad de diferentes estrategias motivacionales; por su parte, los estudiantes completaron diferentes cuestionarios previamente validados. Se encontró que los profesores percibían menos viables las estrategias orientadas a favorecer la satisfacción de autonomía en comparación con aquellas orientadas al desarrollo de la competencia motriz. Por otro lado, el test de Mann-Whitney reveló que aquellos alumnos cuyos profesores mostraban una mayor puntuación media en lo concerniente a la viabilidad de las estrategias motivacionales, obtuvieron puntuaciones superiores en la motivación autodeterminada, la satisfacción de autonomía, la satisfacción de competencia, y la importancia y utilidad otorgadas a la EF. Estos datos sugieren la necesidad de implementar programas de formación del profesorado con el fin de que se sienta más preparado para llevar a cabo estrategias metodológicas que pueden resultar positivas en el desarrollo de patrones motivacionales adaptativos de sus estudiantes.
O reconhecimento intersubjetivo como impulsionador de responsabilidade pela alteridade em casos de conflitos na escola | Intersubjective recognition used to boost the responsibility for otherness in cases of conflicts in schools
Authors: Dani Grasiela Cristine Celich , Dani Lúcia Salete Celich , Ceron Trevisol Maria Teresa
Published: December 2018

O artigo enfatiza a concepção de que quando há conflitos na escola, que envolvam a alteridade de seus integrantes, o reconhecimento intersubjetivo deve ser utilizado como possível encaminhamento. As bases empíricas desse texto são três pesquisas: a primeira, utilizando uma metodologia interativa, com uma amostra de 86 alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da região central do estado do Rio Grande do Sul e, um questionário, na coleta de dados. A segunda, de metodologia qualitativa, com amostra de 366 estudantes do ensino fundamental, de uma escola pública localizada na periferia da cidade de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de textos, desenhos, entrevistas. A terceira, de natureza quantiqualitativa, com uma amostra de 235 alunos do ensino fundamental, procedentes de duas escolas públicas, uma do Brasil, da região oeste catarinense e outra de Portugal, do Minho. Na coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário. A análise efetuada permite afirmar que o reconhecimento será solicitado quando houver a necessidade de restaurar a relação social que foi abalada por causa do conflito (primeira e segunda pesquisa) ou do bullying (terceira pesquisa). Expõe-se isso, pois a construção da identidade pessoal de todo sujeito relaciona-se à pressuposição de reconhecimento por parte dos outros, afinal, toda relação intersubjetiva permite que os indivíduos, de modo recíproco, possam se experienciar um no outro, conforme a identidade que se reconhecem para si mesmos.
Violência juvenil, bullying e insucesso escolar: memórias de infância e o início de trajetórias desviantes | Juvenile violence, bullying and academic underachievement: Childhood memories and the onset of deviant pathways
Authors: Saraiva Ana Beatriz , Pereira Beatriz , Zamith Cruz Judite Maria
Published: December 2018

Este estudo de caso integra uma investigação mais abrangente na área da violência e criminalidade e analisa a construção narrativa das vivências de violência na escola, relatadas por um grupo de reclusos portugueses, tendo como pano de fundo seus percursos escolares. Os dez participantes, com idade entre 19 e 46 anos, foram entrevistados nos Açores. Foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista, especificamente construído para esta investigação, com o conjunto de tópicos a serem abordados em tom informal. O tratamento de dados de nível descritivo e interpretativo seguiu a Análise de Conteúdo segundo Bardin e centrou-se em dados retrospectivos, colhidos por entrevista, relativos a episódios específicos de violência e bullying em contexto escolar. Foram identificados quatro tipos distintos de percursos de violência infantil e juvenil, principalmente bullying, envolvendo vítima e agressor, defensor da vítima, vítima com coping eficaz e observador passivo. O estudo analisa os fatores de desencadeamento e manutenção desses percursos, com impacto no desempenho escolar, bem como discute as implicações para a prevenção secundária e o diagnóstico diferencial.
Apresentação
Authors: Dani Lúcia Salete Celich , Trevisol Maria Teresa Ceron
Published: December 2018

O tema desta seção temática é “Escola: conflitos, sentimentos e alteridade”. O tema é relevante, pois as tensões que permeiam as relações interpessoais no cotidiano escolar são marcadas por diferentes crenças, fazendo com que os valores recebam significados distorcidos e negativos, suscitando a ideia de que eles podem ser diferentes para uma ou outra pessoa e afastando a concepção de que são universais e imutáveis. Assim, recai-se em relativismo, ou seja, na ideia de que tudo pode ser feito e dito, não se atentando para a preservação da alteridade nem para o seu reconhecimento. Desse modo, não há mais valores, nem a escuta do outro e muito menos o reconhecimento do outro por sua diferença. Em função disso, muitos conflitos se estabelecem.
Data processing methods for deep level transients measurement
Authors: Hoang Nam Nhat
Published: December 2018

The year 2019 marks 45 years in the development of Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) - the signal processing method for determination of overalpping deep levels in semiconductors. From its introduction in 1974 by David Lang (D.V. Lang, J. Appl. Phys. 45, 1974, p.3023) to this date the DLTS method has undergone many changes and modifications: some were purely theoretical speculations, some were to also include new experimental arrangement and technique. This paper provides almost complete review on DLTS, focusing on the main three approaches widely used today. We also summarize the development of this method in the Faculty of Physics, VNU-Hanoi University of Sciences.
Comparison of finite-volume schemes for diffusion problems
Authors: Schneider Martin , Gläser Dennis , Flemisch Bernd , Helmig Rainer
Published: December 2018

We present an abstract discretization framework and demonstrate that various cell-centered and hybrid finite-volume schemes fit into it. The different schemes considered in this work are then analyzed numerically for an elliptic model problem with respect to the properties consistency, coercivity, extremum principles, and sparsity. The test cases presented comprise of two- and three-dimensional setups, mildly and highly anisotropic tensors and grids of different complexities. The results show that all schemes show a similar convergence behavior, except for the two-point flux approximation scheme, and seem to be coercive. Furthermore, they confirm that linear schemes, in contrast to nonlinear schemes, are in general neither positivity-preserving nor satisfy discrete minimum or maximum principles.
A justiça totalitária: uma apreciação da análise de Karl Popper ao conceito de justiça n'A República
Authors: De Miranda Rodrigo
Published: December 2018

Para o filósofo da ciência Karl Popper, ARepública é talvez a mais esmerada monografia que já se escreveu sobre justiça. Nela, Platão desenvolve diversos entendimentos sobre o conceito, sobretudo no primeiro livro, onde nos são apresentadas as ideias falsas de justiça. Platão evita, ou negligencia, mencionar a noção corrente em seu tempo, isto é, a igualdade perante a lei (ἰσονομία). Segundo Popper, esta negligência é explicável pelo fato de o estado ideal representar o que viria a ser o estado totalitário. Contudo, através de uma análise minuciosa do livro A sociedade aberta e seus inimigos,podemos perceber que o maior interesse de Popper talvez não seja a noção de igualdade, mas sim a presumida crítica de Platão ao que chama de “individualismo altruísta”. O presente artigo, portanto, tem por objetivo analisar a pertinência da interpretação popperiana do conceito de justiça em Platão a partir do primeiro livro d’ARepública.

Hesíodo em Eurípides: Alceste
Authors: Torrano Jaa
Published: December 2018

A tragédia Alceste de Eurípides e o mito hesiódico de Prometeu têm dois elementos em comum: a personagem de Héracles e o tema da mortalidade como condição humana. Explorar esses dois elementos e sua relação nesta tragédia pode nos mostrar por que esta personagem de Héracles está presente nesta tragédia, como ela está profundamente integrada ao significado desta tragédia e enfim pode nos mostrar o sentido realmente trágico deste drama.
