Study on Family Cohesion and Adaptability of Caregivers of Children with ASD and Its Influencing Factors
Authors: Lei X. , Kantor J.
Published: September 2020

Objectives. The current study aimed to examine family cohesion and adaptability in Chinese caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The authors used the concept of Circumplex Model as a theoretical background for this study.
Background. With the number of children being diagnosed with ASD having increased in recent years, more and more caregivers of children with ASD may experience long-term challenges and stress related to the scope of the care and the psychological burden. In general, family cohesion and adaptability are important sources of support for families. Therefore, it’s imperative to examine family cohesion and adaptability and the influencing factors in caregivers of children with ASD.
Study design. The study examined the level of family cohesion and adaptability by calculating the scores of the scales and comparing them with the national norm. The study explored the influencing factors by using difference tests and multiple linear regression analysis.
Participants. 168 caregivers of children with ASD from Sichuan province in China.
Measurements. A brief demographic questionnaire and Chinese version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES II-CV).
Results. Caregivers of children with ASD scored significantly higher on family cohesion than that of the norm, while significantly lower on adaptability. Variables including child’s functional level, caregiver’s marital status, employment status, and place of residence all had significant predictive power on both family cohesion and adaptability, while monthly income also had significant predictive power on family cohesion.
Conclusions. Family cohesion perceived by Chinese caregivers of children with ASD was at a higher level, while their adaptability was at a lower level. Both family cohesion and adaptability were influenced by children’s functional level, caregivers’ marital status, employment status, place of residence, while cohesion was also influenced by family income. These factors may be used as predictors of family cohesion and adaptability in the counselling practice and help to develop services supporting the development of more balanced family types.
Intercultural Communicative Difficulties of Teens Migrants of the First and Second Generation: Cross-Cultural Aspect
Authors: Samokhvalova A.G. , Metz M.V.
Published: September 2020

Objectives. The study of communicative difficulties in situations of intercultural communication with adults and peers and how to overcome them among teenage migrants of the first (refugees) and second generation, living in Russia and Germany.
Background. Intercultural communication in modern society, on the one hand, has become the norm of life, on the other hand, a source of conflict and interethnic barriers. Teens, who are sensitive to the difficulties of mastering intercultural communication, both linguistic and socio-psychological, are experiencing especially difficult migration processes. Therefore, it is extremely important to study the communicative difficulties of migrant teens.
Study design. We studied the cross-cultural differences in communicative difficulties that arise in teens migrants of the first and second generation in situations of intercultural communication, as well as ways to overcome them. Statistical processing was carried out using the Mann—Whitney U-test, the multiple functional criterion φ* — the Fisher angular transformation.
Participants. 200 teens aged 15—17 years (M=16.3).
Measurements. Questionnaire “Difficulties of a teenager in communicating with peers and adults”, the method of unfinished sentences, which determines how to overcome communicative difficulties (author A.G. Samokhvalova). The methodological tools were translated into German and adapted by M.V. Metz.
Results. It has been established that there are common intercultural communication difficulties that arise among refugee teens from zones of military conflict, regardless of their place of residence. Second-generation migrant teens are more successful in intercultural communication. First-generation migrants are significantly more likely to use destructive strategies to overcome intercultural communication difficulties.
Conclusions. Migrant teens of the first and second generation living in Germany and Russia have both general and culturally specific communicative difficulties.
Borges, Solomon and Saturn: “Un diálogo anglosajón del siglo XI” (1961)
Authors: Gomes Gargamala Miguel A.
Published: September 2020

J. L. Borges’s interest in and understanding of the Old English dialogues featuring King Solomon and the pagan Saturn have hitherto received little academic attention. This article will explore Borges’s engagement with these texts and in doing so aims at contributing to recent scholarship concerning the author’s lifetime fascination with the medieval literatures of northern Europe. Particular attention will be given to Borges’s annotated translation of one of the Solomonic dialogues published in the journal of the National Library of Argentina in 1961, La Biblioteca, under the title “Un diálogo anglosajón del siglo XI”. Borges’s reasons for selecting the text as well as the Old English sources used in this translation will be explored alongside his passion towards the subject of the translated passage.
New Ground Motion to Intensity Conversion Equations (GMICEs) for New Zealand
Authors: Moratalla Jose M. , Goded Tatiana , Rhoades David A. , Canessa Silvia , Gerstenberger Matthew C.
Published: September 2020

Macroseismic intensities play a key role in the engineering, seismological, and loss modeling communities. However, at present, there is an increasing demand for instrumental data-based loss estimations that require statistical relationships between intensities and strong-motion data. In New Zealand, there was an urgent need to update the ground motion to intensity conversion equation (GMICE) from 2007, developed prior to a large number of recent earthquakes including the 2010–2011 Canterbury and 2016 Kaikōura earthquake sequences. Two main factors now provide us with the opportunity to update New Zealand’s GMICE: (1) recent publication of New Zealand’s Strong-Motion Database, corresponding to 276 New Zealand earthquakes with magnitudes 3.5–7.8 and 4–185 km depths; and (2) recent generation of a community intensity database from GeoNet’s “Felt Classic” (2004–2016) and “Felt Detailed” (2016–2019) questionnaires, corresponding to around 930,000 individual reports. Ground-motion data types analyzed are peak ground velocity (PGV) and peak ground acceleration (PGA). The intensity database contains 67,572 felt reports from 917 earthquakes, with magnitudes 3.5–8.1, and 1797 recordings from 247 strong-motion stations (SMSs), with hypocentral distances of 5–345 km. Different regression analyses were tested, and the bilinear regression of binned mean strong-motion recordings for 0.5 modified Mercalli intensity bins was selected as the most appropriate. Total least squares regression was chosen for reversibility in the conversions. PGV provided the best-fitting results, with lower standard deviations. The influence of hypocentral distance, earthquake magnitude, and the site effects of local geology, represented by the mean shear-wave velocity in the first 30 m depth, on the residuals was also explored. A regional correction factor for New Zealand, suitable for adjustment of global relationships, has also been estimated.

Buscou-se demonstrar a intervenção desses intelectuais em favor da literatura e cultura brasileiras. Realizou-se também um breve levantamento de textos importantes que trataram da contribuição desses intelectuais portugueses para a cultura local. Adolfo Casais Monteiro foi pioneiro no trabalho comparativo entre o Modernismo Brasileiro e o Modernismo Português, o qual, posteriormente, foi desenvolvido por Arnaldo Saraiva, cujo objetivo era o de demonstrar o diálogo mantido entre os autores modernistas brasileiros e portugueses. Destaca-se, por fim, o empenho desses estudiosos, os quais contribuíram para a história da cultura mesmo em momentos difíceis de autoritarismo e de crise das humanidades.
Entre negritude e pertencimento
Authors: Freitas Leidiana da Silva Lima , Lopes Maria Suely de Oliveira
Published: September 2020

A presença do negro no cenário literário brasileiro vem se tornando mais visível nas últimas décadas. Embora no passado esse protagonismo tenha sido mais tímido, principalmente quando se trata da mulher negra, essa presença hoje é bastante expressiva. Carolina Maria de Jesus, apesar do preconceito e da discriminação, é uma das muitas escritoras afrodescendentes que conseguiu destaque no meio literário. Através de sua escrita, mostrou a situação de pobreza, de miséria e de exclusão que sofreu durante sua vida. Dessa forma, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a obra Diário de Bitita (1986), enfocando aspectos como a negritude e o pertencimento. De forma específica, buscou-se entender como a questão racial e a ideia de pertencimento são abordadas na referida obra, além de discutir como Carolina de Jesus lidava com essas questões na sua infância e adolescência. Para tanto, buscou-se como auxílio os aportes teóricos de Cixous (2017), Fanon (2008), Hall (2005), entre outros. Observou-se, através desta análise, que a escrita de Carolina Maria de Jesus é um instrumento utilizado pela escritora para denunciar a situação dos pobres e, principalmente dos negros, diante de uma sociedade dominada por uma concepção eurocêntrica que privilegia os brancos em detrimento dos negros. Diante do preconceito, da discriminação e da exclusão vivenciados por Bitita, muitas vezes ela desejava ter a pele branca para assim poder usufruir dos mesmos direitos de que dispunham os brancos.
Fernando Pessoa em periódicos brasileiros e o “flerte” de nossa crítica modernista
Authors: Xavier Rodrigo Alexandre de Carvalho
Published: September 2020

A recepção de Fernando Pessoa nos jornais brasileiros se deu majoritariamente após a morte do poeta, em 1935. Essa recepção, em especial, raramente apresenta ao público os textos do poeta, caracterizando-se, especialmente, por ensaios críticos que supõem o conhecimento dos leitores sobre a obra do escritor português. Durante sua vida (1888-1935), a ocorrência de publicações de textos de Pessoa em jornais brasileiros é ainda mais escassa, e ainda demanda um esforço concentrado dos investigadores dada a dificuldade de localização dos acervos que não estão disponíveis em meio digital. Apresentamos aqui a redescoberta de três textos do poeta, publicados ainda durante sua vida, nos jornais cariocas: Leitura para todos (1926), O Tico-tico: Jornal das crianças (1931) e Diário de Notícias (1935). Apresenta-se também o “flerte” do crítico e escritor modernista brasileiro, Teixeira Soares, com a obra de Fernando Pessoa.
An ANFIS based inverse modeling for pneumatic artificial muscles
Authors: Baysal Cabbar Veysel
Published: September 2020

Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAM) are soft actuators with advantages of high force to weight ratio, flexible structure and low cost. On the other hand, their inherent nonlinear characteristics yield difficulties in modeling and control actions, which is an important factor restricting use of PAM. In literature, there are various modeling approaches such as virtual work , empirical and phenomenological models. However, they appear as either much complicated or are approximate ones as a variable stiffness spring for model with nonlinear input-output relationship. In this work, the behaviour of PAM is interpreted as an integrated response to pressure input that results in a simultaneous force and muscle length change. The integrated response behaviour of PAM is not combined effectively in terms of simultaneous resultant force and muscle contraction in many existing models. In order to implement that response, standard identification methods , for instance NNARX, are not suitable for modeling this behaviour. Moreover, an inverse modeling with grey box approach is proposed in order to utilize the model in control applications. Since Neuro-Fuzzy inference systems are universal estimators, the modeling is implemented by an ANFIS structure using the experimental data collected from PAM test bed. According to implementation results, the ANFIS based inverse model has yielded satisfactory performance deducing that it could be a simple and effective solution for PAM modeling and control issue.
Evaluating the Bank Queuing Systems by Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Kılıf Halil , Ozkan İlker Ali
Published: September 2020

Various models are used in the banking system to organize the queue structure of customers' banking transactions. The average waiting time for a customer in the queue generally varies depending on whether bank customer or not and the customer score it has. Different uncertain parameters are used to determine the individual queue group and average waiting time in bank queuing systems. This paper proposes a fuzzy logic-based approach in bank queuing systems. In this study, individual bank queue group and average waiting times are determined according to the number of waiting customers, customer score and credit score parameters. In addition, identification number is a determining factor for the priority of transactions in bank queuing systems. People who are not customers of the bank often have longer waiting times. As a new approach to the working structure of bank queuing systems, this study also suggests that non-bank customers should be given priority sequence numbers according to their credit scores.

Authors: Atul Deshmukh Adit , Sanjay Dabhade Sangeeta , Baburao Ghongane Balasaheb
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Drug utilization research evaluates the appropriateness of the prescriptions which is important in clinical practice. Psychotropic polypharmacy is a major problem in psychiatric practice, which can lead to the development of adverse effects of those drugs in patients. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate the utilization of psychotropic drugs being prescribed for various psychiatric illnesses.
 MATERIALS & METHODS: A prospective, cross sectional, observational study was carried out in patients visiting the Psychiatric Out-Patient Department of B J Government Medical College and Sassoon General Hospital, Pune, INDIA; from December 2016 to May 2018. A total of 500 prescriptions were analysed using WHO Drug Use indicators and some other indicators.
 RESULTS: Average number of drugs per prescription was 3.14 ± 1.18; while average number of Psychotropic drugs per prescription was 2.27 ± 0.90. 84.35% of the total drugs prescribed by Generic name. 43.89% and 41.67% of the total drugs were prescribed from National List of Essential Medicines 2015 and WHO Model List of Essential Medicines 2017, respectively. Antipsychotics was the most commonly prescribed group of Psychotropic drugs, while Olanzapine was the most commonly prescribed Psychotropic drug. 64.25% of the total drugs were prescribed from the hospital drugstore.
 CONCLUSION: In the present study, drugs were prescribed rationally and judiciously. But there was a need to increase the prescription of drugs from essential drug lists. Apart from that, there was found a need to increase the availability of the commonly prescribed Psychotropic drugs in the hospital drugstore of the study institution.

Background and purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common form of diabetes, and a metabolic disorder affecting patients' general health in various ways. The present study aimed to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among older adults of Amirkola, Northern Iran.
Materials and Methods: A case-control study was conducted with a sample of 500 elderly people (250 with T2DM and 250 healthy controls) who answered geriatric oral health assessment index (GOHAI) questionnaire and a questionnaire evaluating xerostomia. Then, all participants underwent clinical dental examinations. The obtained data were then analyzed by t-test, chi-square test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, and p < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The prevalence of xerostomia was not statistically significant between the T2DM patients and control groups (p < 0.079). Greater number of patients suffering T2DM reported xerostomia according to the records; however, the correlation between this disorder and periodontal disease index (PDI), Plaque index (PI), oral health index-simplified (OHI-S), and geriatric oral health assessment index (GOHAI) in the subjects of the two study groups was not significant (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: In the present study, there was no significant relationship between GOHAI and periodontal indices, demonstrating no difference in the OHRQoL of elderly patients with T2DM and older healthy adults.

Authors: Elmadhoun Wadie , Sulaiman Amel , Altayeb Nassma , Awadalla Heitham , Ahmed Mohamed
Published: September 2020

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has hit hard both the affluent and poor countries. The objective of this article is to highlight the efforts of the Ministry of Health in Sudan in mitigating the pandemic and reflecting on counteracting factors. Methods: We traced the reports and plans of the Federal Ministry of Health and looked at the models projecting the pandemic in Sudan. Results: The fundamental plan of the government of Sudan to cope up with the pandemic included the control of the source of infection, blocking transmission, and preventing the spread. The response mechanism had a multi-sector approach with involvement of government, civil society organizations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The action plans involved protocols for COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment, surveillance, epidemiological investigation, and management of case contacts. However, several factors continued to jeopardize the mitigation efforts of these plans. At the time of writing this article (at the end of the May 2020), there were about 4,000 confirmed cases, 300 recoveries, and 170 deaths. Although these numbers are below the projected numbers in many proposed models, in the light of the limited testing capacity, case identification and contact tracing, the exact situation might not be ascertained. Conclusion: Sudan has prepared a national plan to prevent and contain COVID19 pandemic. However, tremendous challenges are opposing these efforts. The poor health infrastructure, fragility of the health system, and the economic crisis are the major obstructions.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the synergistic influence of green-based governance and external pressure on the quality of environmental disclosure among ISO14001 certified companies that are publicly-listed in Malaysia.

Methodology: Content analyses have been conducted on the 2014 annual and sustainability reports of ninety (90) ISO14001 certified companies.

Results: The results of the multiple regression analyses reveal that green-based governance in the form of an effective environmental management system (EMS) and external pressure from industry membership influence the quality of environmental disclosure. The findings of the study signify that a proper EMS system needs to be implemented in order to reduce agency conflicts arising from information asymmetry.

Implications: Companies need to have an effective environmental management system such as ISO14001 companies are motivated to provide quality environmental information to reduce information asymmetry and agency conflicts between managers and stakeholders.

Las demandas de responsabilidad contra empresas transnacionales ante los tribunales constituyen una de las posibles vías para canalizar la voluntad de someterlas al respeto de los derechos humanos en el ejercicio de sus actividades en terceros Estados. El acceso a la justicia se erige en derecho fundamental, tal y como aparece recogido en el artículo 8 de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos o en el artículo 2 del Pacto Internacional de Derechos civiles y políticos. Sin embargo, las vulneraciones de derechos humanos cometidas por parte de empresas vienen irremediablemente unidas a la denegación de justicia. El orden existente no da una respuesta adecuada, los «vacíos de gobernabilidad» y el ámbito de influencia de las empresas escapa al poder regulatorio y coercitivo del Estado de origen. La falta de capacidad o voluntad de los países anfitriones de asegurar el respeto de los derechos humanos de las empresas que operan en su territorio; la ausencia de sistemas judiciales efectivos y los obstáculos legales que crean las complicadas estructuras empresariales, nos llevan a complementarlas con una mayor regularización de los comportamientos empresariales a nivel operativo.
Recientes desarrollos en los litigios transnacionales empresas y Derechos Humanos: el caso Kiobel III
Authors: Chiara Marullo María
Published: September 2020

Las víctimas de abusos corporativos encuentran numerosos obstáculos para poder acceder a la justicia, tanto del Estado en cuyo territorio se han verificado los abusos como en el país de origen de las corporaciones. Recientes decisiones de los tribunales europeos, como el holandés en el caso Kiobel III, están abriendo un camino novedoso que, de fructificar, podría suponer un avance muy importante para el futuro de los litigios transnacionales sobre empresas y Derechos Humanos. Previamente a estos casos, los tribunales europeos, aquellos donde las empresas matrices están domiciliadas o tienen su sede principal, abrieron sus puertas en casos de abusos corporativos perpetrados por las filiales en terceros países, basándose en el foro de necesidad o en la prohibición de denegación del acceso a la justicia, al no encontrar otro foro donde las víctimas pudieran hacer valer sus derechos. En los casos citados, los tribunales aceptaron su competencia entendiendo que pueden conocer tanto de los abusos de las empresas matrices, como de las filiales, cuando hay una conexión que permita atraer la filial al estado de origen, apoyando la existencia de un concepto unitario de empresa, donde la matriz toma las decisiones y las estrategias de todas las empresas que pertenecen al grupo y que, por tanto, estarían bajo su control.Recibido: 06 abril 2020Aceptado: 27 abril 2020Publicación en linea: 30 septiembre 2020

Visualidades en tránsito: el cine de David Lynch
Authors: Russo Eduardo A.
Published: September 2020

El así denominado “giro visual” y los estudios sobre cine han mantenido una fructífera relación a lo largo de las últimas dos décadas, no sólo respecto de sus influencias cruzadas, sino también reconfigurando el campo de lo que hoy entendemos como cine en relación con la cultura visual. Una obra artística fronteriza como la de David Lynch, que articula su producción a través de la plástica, la fotografía, el cine y los nuevos medios, en este artíclo es examinada a partir de la confluencia interdisciplinaria entre Visual Studies y Film Studies. El abordaje intenta no sólo dilucidar distintos aspectos de la producción de este artista, sino contribuir al replanteo de ciertas cuestiones fundamentales que hacen al lugar y construcción de lo visual en el cine, y a los estados y procesos que hacen a la imagen artística contemporánea, expandida por medios y técnicas en transformación.
Esto no es Diseño
Authors: Soto Carlos
Published: September 2020

El Diseño Gráfico, como disciplina formal en todo el Continente, no ha tenido una definición acorde a su objeto de estudio, una visión equivocada para la comunidad que nos ven como hacedores de afiches ó peor aún, choferes de mouse –operarios de computador–. La disciplina la definen por lo que no es diseño, y se hace indispensable dar claridad sobre la verdadera dimensión del diseño como profesión. Esta, una reflexión sobre el papel de la Academia para difundir la nueva perspectiva interdisciplinaria, conceptual, basada en la investigación/creación, con postulados epistemológicos propios, sustento pedagógico, metodología y estrategias que se construyen para darle cuerpo a la disciplina. Debemos dar a conocer el alcance del Diseño Gráfico y definirlo por lo que sí es diseño en el mundo de hoy
Understanding how design processes can contribute to the enhancement of innovative capacity in the universe of startup companies

Published: September 2020

Innovation has been an important word in business in recent years. Associated with a number of highly profitable business models, gives entrepreneurs a challenge that goes beyond the definition of “promoting something new”. Continuous innovation - with positive results, relevant social impact and opportunities and balancing risks - is one of the great challenges of all sectors and dimensions. Encouraged by many examples of American success, globalization and post-industrialization, many young people ventured into the business world, developing content based on technology. Startups are one of these models, because they have unique characteristics when compared to traditional micro and small companies. Its condition of existence is innovation, however, however much a startup has a revolutionary idea, it is no guarantee of sustainable success.

Consideraciones para la investigación simbólica en Diseño desde los sistemas complejos
Authors: Rubio Toledo Miguel Ángel
Published: September 2020

La teoría de sistemas complejos proporciona la comprensión de límites, estructuras y procesos disciplinarios a la investigación en Diseño. La incertidumbre es precursora de la complejidad de la información, observada en espirales rizomáticas para hallar las articulaciones organizacionales en cadena como poiesis. La organización es orden y desorden y media la interacción de objetos, sujetos, procesos, límites y estructuras. La interacción es generadora de formas y organización involucrando el punto de vista del investigador que se desplaza aleatoriamente permitiendo recodificar el concepto, amén del entorno que otorga vida al evento particular de la investigación.
Factores que inciden en investigaciones para Diseño

Published: September 2020

Debido a que los ámbitos en donde el Diseño interviene es tan amplio, cómo en la cultura, salud, ecología, derecho, ciencias, deportes y en general, cualquier actividad generada por el ser humano, el universo para investigar es vasto y los alumnos llegan a afligirse o frustrase al no poder diagnosticar un problema puntual de Diseño para realizar investigación en cualquiera de sus niveles, ya sea licenciatura o posgrado, o de sus perfiles cómo gráfico, industrial ó arquitectónico, por mencionar algunos. El presente texto analiza desde la experiencia de dos profesoras que imparten materias de Diseño Gráfico en diversas universidades en México, algunos de los posibles factores que inciden en esta toma de decisiones para elegir proyectos de investigación, reflexionando sobre la posibilidad de incentivar al alumno a ampliar sus marcos de referencia, con la finalidad de facilitar la detección de una posible veta que pueda ofrecer una investigación original, pertinente y benéfica para quien la reciba.
El cuerpo vivido: La expresividad de la aparición
Authors: Pitombo Cidreira Renata
Published: September 2020

A partir del trabajo de la artista Liege Galvão, el presente artículo analiza la vestimenta como segunda piel y agente configurador de una aparición. En su dinámica de renovación el acto de vestirse expresa modulaciones corporales que contienen formas de interacción del individuo con el mundo y con los otros, en una actividad que se renueva constantemente. De esta forma, se intenta también, evidenciar la capacidad creativa presente en el vestir, que es, por un lado, un producto funcional, y por otro lado, un medio capaz de provocar contemplación. Para esto se analizan autores como Maurice MerleauPonty, Luigi Pareyson, Alfredo Bosi y Marshall McLuhan, entre otros.
Inflamación mandibular en el tapir centroamericano (Tapirus bairdii): cambio de dentición y retención de la corona de dientes deciduos como potencial etiología
Authors: González González Gustavo A.
Published: September 2020

Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii), also known as danta, inhabits tropical forests, lower mountain forests, deciduous forests, flooded meadows and wetlands. The internal anatomy of the tapir is analogous to the domestic horse, as is its dental formula. Molars lack cement and have small or low crowns, being fully lofodonts. Mandibular inflammation in tapirs is very common in captive collections and their etiology and prevalence have been discussed, but have not been defined. This work suggests changing teething and retaining the crown “caps” as a possible etiology of jaw inflammation based on its counterpart the horse, which physiologically copes with the following process: as permanent teeth develop below the primary teeth, a physiological process of resorption and vertex displacement develops, accelerating the eruption of the deciduous tooth. Continuous pressure causes the roots to be reabsorbed, and low blood supply leads to necrosis in the soft tissues and thus loosening the “cap”.
