Розглянуто можливості використання аерофотозйомки за допомогою безпілотного літального апарату та подальшого оброблення отриманих зображень стереофотограмметричними підходами для ідентифікації дерев сосни звичайної та оцінки їх висоти у зімкнутих деревостанах способом порівняння даних, отриманих для кругової пробної площі внаслідок аерофотозйомки та в польових умовах лазерно-оптичними далекомірами, що використані як контрольні значення. Встановлено можливість ідентифікації верхівок стовбурів дерев сосни звичайної за допомогою алгоритмів пошуку максимумів растрів у програмних продуктах ГІС. Підтверджено неможливість детектування дерев нижніх елементів ярусу шляхом застосування радіусів пошуку максимумів малих розмірів (0,5 м), що спричиняє помилкову ідентифікацію значної кількості локальних максимумів (бокових гілок) як окремих дерев. Збільшення розмірів радіусу фільтрації виявлення максимальних значень растра цифрової моделі висоти крони досліджуваного деревостану до 1 м дало змогу з достатньою точністю оцінити висоту (стандартне відхилення 0,44 м) 27 дерев у верхній частині лісового пологу. Це свідчить про перспективність використання перелічених підходів для встановлення лісотаксаційних параметрів насаджень не лише з науковою метою, а й під час проведення лісовпорядкування і лісоінвентаризації, оскільки верхня висота деревостану має тісні функціональні зв'язки з іншими таксаційними ознаками.
Методичні підходи до визначення розміру охоронної ділянки навколо гнізда лелеки чорного Ciconia Nigra (L.)
Authors: Bokotey A. A.
Published: May 2019

Наприкінці 2016 р. у законодавче поле України введено поняття охоронної ділянки навколо гнізд рідкісних видів птахів, зокрема занесеного до Червоної книги України (2009) лелеки чорного Ciconia nigra (L.). Радіус ділянки для усіх видів визначено за європейськими стандартами, однак для лелеки він збільшений удвічі, до радіуса 1000 м навколо гнізда впродовж усього року. У 2006-2018 рр. проведено дослідження чисельності, поширення, біотопних преференцій та гніздової біології виду на території Українського Полісся (Волинська, Рівненська, Житомирська, Київська, Чернігівська та Сумська області) та подальший моніторинг гніздової біології чорного лелеки на Західному Поліссі (Волинська та Рівненська області). Дослідженнями доведено, що радіус 1000 м навколо гнізда є надмірним і недоцільним. Першою хибою такого підходу є відсутність врахування сезонності під час створення охоронної ділянки, другою – надмірний радіус. Обґрунтовано оптимальні розміри охоронної ділянки навколо гнізда лелеки чорного. Доведено, що 54 % гнізд розташовані не далі ніж 200 м від краю лісу. Важливість для виду 500-метрової ділянки лісу навколо гнізда підтверджують і білоруські науковці. За їхніми даними, у 83,3 % випадків на цій території знаходиться присід чорного лелеки, який птахи використовують для оцінювання безпеки підльоту до гнізда. Враховуючи сезонність, рекомендовано створювати охоронні ділянки з двох частин – ділянки суворої охорони (радіусом не менше 100 м довкола гнізда) та ділянки сезонної охорони (радіусом не менше 500 м). Ділянка суворої охорони діє впродовж усього року і в ній заборонено будь-яку діяльність, навіть перебування людей. На ділянці сезонної охорони заборонено будь-яку діяльність з 15 березня по 30 липня. На лісових дорогах і просіках, що проходять через ділянку суворої охорони, рекомендуємо встановлювати попереджувальні аншлаги. Роботи здійснено в рамках проекту "Ciconia-Ukraina", який реалізується Західноукраїнським орнітологічним товариством та Державним природознавчим музеєм НАН України, за фінансової підтримки Фонду "Ciconia" (Ліхтенштейн).
Експериментальні дослідження кінцевої вологості термічно модифікованої деревини ясеня

Published: May 2019

Дослідження проведено на базі приватного підприємства "Long life wood" у термокамері власного виготовлення. За результатами експериментальних досліджень встановлено, що без кондиціювання кінцева вологість термічно обробленої деревини ясеня становить 0,6-1,4 %, що недопустимо, оскільки кінцева вологість повинна мати значення на рівні 4-5 %. Для вирішення цієї проблеми запропоновано режими кондиціювання (зволоження), запровадження яких дасть змогу підвищити кінцеву вологість термічно модифікованої деревини ясеня до необхідного рівня і, як наслідок, забезпечить стабільність форми і розмірів виробів у процесі експлуатації. Використовуючи явище розрідження від різкого зниження температури, зволоження відбувається завдяки всмоктуванню конденсату, що утворився на початкових фазах термооброблення і накопичився у спеціальних ємкостях через спеціальні зволожувальні труби. Надалі поданий конденсат миттєво перетворюється в пару, оскільки температура всередині термокамери істотно вища 100°С і створює практично стан повного насичення водяною парою в термокамері. За результатами досліджень запропоновано рекомендації стосовно тривалості кондиціювання термічно модифікованої деревини ясеня залежно від температури оброблення і товщини матеріалу.

Published: May 2019

En Ecuador se han reportado pérdidas entre 60 y 80% ocasionadas por la alimentación de Tetranychus urticae en plantas de fresa, por lo que se requieren frecuentes aplicaciones de plaguicidas. En el presente estudio se evaluó la actividad patogénica de diferentes concentraciones de B. subtilis (0, 1, 2 y 3 cc.l-1), mediante la técnica de contacto residual usando hembras de T. urticae de 48 h de edad. No se observó incremento en la mortalidad de las hembras de T. urticae por efecto de las diferentes concentraciones de B. subtilis, sin embargo, estas fueron estadísticamente superiores en referencia al control. Adicionalmente, no se observó efecto de las diferentes dosis de B. subtilis sobre la oviposición de T. urticae. Basados en los resultados, la aplicación de B. subtilis podría ser considerada como una alternativa para el combate de las poblaciones de T. urticae, sin embargo, se requiere validar estos resultados bajo condiciones de campo.

Published: May 2019

Se conocen como enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) al infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM), el accidente cerebrovascular (ACV) isquémico o hemorrágico y la enfermedad vascular periférica, también conocidas como enfermedades vasculares ateroscleróticas, pues tienen en común que el proceso fisiopatológico básico es el desarrollo de aterosclerosis en la vasculatura que irriga a los órganos afectados. El IAM y ACV son eventos agudos que se deben principalmente a obstrucciones en los vasos, las cuales se presentan cuando se produce ruptura de una placa aterosclerótica ocasionando un cuadro de atero-trombosis, fenómeno que explica la sintomatología de los eventos agudos. Actualmente las ECV se constituyen en la primera causa de morbi-mortalidad en todo el mundo, ocasionando que cada año mueran más personas por estas enfermedades que por cualquier otra causa. Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), anualmente 17,5 millones de personas en el mundo, es decir el 31% de las defunciones totales mueren a causa de alguna ECV, siendo que 7,4 millones se debe a IAM y 6,7 millones AVC.  Las ECV son consideradas al momento como una epidemia global que afecta a individuos de todos los países, independientemente de sus ingresos económicos, pero que han tenido un gran incremento en los países de ingresos medianos y bajos, afectando casi por igual a ambos sexos. Actualmente las ECV en su conjunto son la principal causa de muerte en Colombia, con el IAM ocasionando el 17% de la mortalidad general, tanto en hombres como en mujeres, seguida por el ACV y las enfermedades hipertensivas.Como citar este artículo: Lopez-Jaramillo P, Rueda-García D.

Published: May 2019

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have become the first choice for patients with sensitive mutations and have significantly improved prognosis. EGFR exon 19 deletions and L858R mutation in exon 21 are the most common sensitive mutations in lung adenocarcinoma. With advances in detection technology, some rare variants of EGFR have been detected, including EGFR kinase domain duplications and EGFR fusions. Only a few reports have revealed the effectiveness of EGFR-TKIs in patients with these rare variants. In this study, we report a case of EGFR-RAD51 fusion in lung adenocarcinoma that showed a response to icotinib; these findings provide additional support for the use of EGFR-TKIs for patients with these atypical variants.

Key Points

A young patient with lung adenocarcinoma harboring a rare EGFR-RAD51 fusion who responded to icotinib with a PFS of longer than 15 months. All reported EGFR-RAD51 fusions have the same breakpoints and show responses to EGFR-TKIs including icotinib, except for one patient who responded to chemotherapy. Although EGFR fusion is a rare EGFR variant type, the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs suggests the necessity for new detection technology, such as NGS, for patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The clinical usage of NGS could maximize the benefits of precision medicine in patients with cancer. The current case provides new evidence for the efficacy of icotinib in patients with the rare EGFR-RAD51 fusion and EGFR-activating mutations.

Published: May 2019

Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare, autoimmune disease, presenting as sudden haemorrhages without any personal or family history. Anti-factor VIII (FVIII) is the most commonly recognised autoantibody resulting in decreased factor activity. The aetiology and pathophysiology of these antibodies remains unclear. Approximately 50% of reported cases are idiopathic; the rest are associated with other conditions, mainly underlying malignancies, autoimmune diseases (eg rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus), drug administration and postpartum period. A 74-year-old woman presented to our institution with haematochezia and haematuria. She had a medical history of cervix carcinoma; total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with postoperative chemoradiotherapy was performed in 2011. She had also been followed up for 20 years for deforming and severe RA, which was in low-disease activity with methotrexate and corticosteroid. Laboratory investigations for abnormal bleeding revealed prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). APTT prolongation was not corrected by 50:50 plasma mixing studies, and a confirmatory factor assay demonstrated FVIII deficiency (1.4 IU/dL; normal range 50-150 IU/dL). Positive FVIII antibodies on Bethesda testing confirmed a diagnosis of AHA. A rectosigmoid mass and fistula between rectum and bladder were discovered by computed tomography (CT). Bleeding was controlled with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) after two weeks. Eradication of the inhibitor was achieved with high-dose pulse methylprednisolone for two days and then 2mg/kg daily over four weeks.

Published: May 2019

The antimicrobial effect of the amniotic membrane (AM), the innermost part of placenta, has been explored to a limited extent so far. To quantify and better understand the mechanisms behind antibacterial effect of AM, we followed the growth of three common pathogens, uropathogenic Escherichia coli(UPEC), Staphylococcus aureus and Serratia marcescens in liquid and on solid culture medium with and without the addition of the AM homogenate. We monitored the effect of AM homogenate on bacterial growth using plate count method (liquid culture medium) and agar diffusion method (solid culture medium). Our results clearly demonstrated that AM homogenate had bacteriostatic effect on studied UPEC and S. aureus. Interestingly, when used in lower concentrations, the AM homogenate had bactericidal effect on S. aureus and bacteriostatic effect on UPEC. In contrast, S. marcescens was completely resistant to the growth-inhibitory substances of AM homogenate. In fact, its growth was slightly accelerated in liquid culture medium in the presence of AM homogenate. Obtained results illustrated that AM homogenate could be used for treatments and prevention of UPEC and S. aureus infections. Moreover, the established liquid culture medium assay can be used as a time- and cost-effective method for personalized evaluation of drug effect on the growth of chosen bacterial strains with parallel testing of resistance or susceptibility to multiple drugs.
TURKEY’S REFUGEE POLICY UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE NEO-OTTOMANISM: A SOURCE OF SILENT CONFLICT?
Authors: Kaya Osmanbaşoğlu Gülsen
Published: May 2019

Along with Turkey’s changing refugee policy from the Eurocentric, secular nation-state ideology to the neo-Ottomanist one on the state level, there also exist main handicaps on the micro power level concerning the successful coordination of the refugee issue with full respect of the human rights. Economic, cultural and especially political factors play a role in the relationship between Syrians and Turkish residents.  Fragmentation within the Syrian community living in Turkey is also evident. On the other hand, different from the state policy, Turkish people implicitly show their reluctance towards this migration wave without creating a social turmoil.  In this line, it is suggested here that Neo-Ottomanism, as a rising trend, helps a considerable majority of the society to take a moderate stance towards the immigration flux.
An Approximate Error Expression for RQAM Scheme under α-η-µ Fading Conditions
Authors: KAPUCU Nuri
Published: May 2019

In this paper, average symbol error rate
(ASER) performance of rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation (RQAM) scheme
is analyzed over α-η-µ fading channels. First, an ASER expression is derived
based on Chernoff approximation of Gaussian Q-function.
Then, an asymptotic ASER formula is obtained for analyzing system behavior at
high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. The ASER performance is presented for
different modulation levels and fading parameter values. In addition, relative
truncation error (RTE) is illustrated in order to determine how many terms are
needed for the computation of proposed expression. It is shown that analytical
results are in close agreement with exact results.
Crimes in virtual reality: myth or reality?
Authors: Dremlyuga R. I. , Kripakova A. V.
Published: May 2019

The paper is devoted to the problems of committing crimes using virtual reality technologies and their qualifications. The optional features of the objective side and their significance when using new digital technologies are characterized. The factors complicating the investigation of such crimes are analyzed in detail. According to the results of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the technology of virtual reality gives a criminal completely new opportunities. First, virtual reality allows you to manipulate the emotions and consciousness of the victim at a completely new level. The psycho-emotional effect is comparable in strength to the effect of events in the real world, at the same time it can be achieved remotely via the Internet. Secondly, in connection with the integration into the virtual environment of real-world devices, the consequences of actions in virtual reality also extend to the real world. This means that many criminal acts for which contact with the victim was necessary can now be performed remotely.
Templos protestantes neogóticos e ingenieros civiles
Authors: San Martin Córdova Ivan
Published: May 2019

Uno de los derroteros de la expresión neogótica en América fue el género religioso, desde finales del siglo XIX hasta bien entrado el siglo XX, con excelentes iglesias católicas apostólicas. Este vínculo religioso entre el estilo neogótico y las iglesias católicas pareciera que les fuese exclusiva, como si esta morfología fuera la natural expresión del catolicismo, por sus remembranzas simbólicas con aquella etapa de religiosidad gloriosa en aquel remoto periodo medieval. Estas aseveraciones parecerían invalidarse al identificar muchos templos para el protestantismo histórico —luteranos, bautistas, presbiterianos, metodistas, principalmente— tanto en México, como en las principales ciudades centroamericanas y suramericanas, muchos de ellos, por cierto, realizados por ingenieros civiles, más que por arquitectos.
La planta central en edificios católicos y protestantes

Published: May 2019

La fuertemente simbólica planta central se ha utilizado en la historia de la arquitectura cristiana para determinados tipos de espacios, especialmente aquellos con sentido bautismal o funerario. En la primera mitad del siglo XX, la creciente valoración de la asamblea de los fieles orientó hacia propuestas centralizadas tanto en el mundo protestante (Taut, Hablik, Bartning) como en el ámbito católico (Böhm, Schwarz).En el presente texto se analizarán las propuestas teóricas de Otto Bartning (Vom Neuen Kirchbau, 1919) y Rudolf Schwarz (Von Bau der Kirche, 1937) y su influencia en las construcciones coetáneas, así como el planteamiento de la planta central (Saarinen, Niemeyer, Candela, Chávez de la Mora, Botta, Gibberd) y la disposición central de la asamblea (estética neocatecumenal, Communio-Räume) como propuesta de renovación para la arquitectura religiosa del siglo XX.

Published: May 2019

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is widely accepted gold standard technique for management of cholelithiasis and has undergone many refinements including decrease in size and number of ports. Many researchers have claimed that three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible method for management of cholelithiasis but still it is not performed widely by the surgeons. Objective of our study was to assess the safety and feasibility of three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy by comparing the various defined parameters with the standard four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: The study included 100 patients and was divided equally in 2 groups. Patients in Group A underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy by three-port technique and in Group B were operated by four-port technique. Patients in both the groups were compared in terms of operative time, intra-operative complications, post-operative pain, post-operative complications and cosmesis outcome.Results: The mean operative time was similar in both groups. Intra-op and post-op complications were also similar. 3 patients in Group A needed fourth port and 1 patient in both group required conversion to open cholecystectomy. Mean pain score and requirement of parentral analgesia was found to be lower in Group A. Duration of hospital was similar in both the groups. Patients in group A had slightly better cosmetic outcome.Conclusions: Three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive, safe and feasible technique and is not difficult to master than other advanced techniques. In experienced hands, laparoscopy cholecystectomy can be initially started with three-ports and can be converted to four-port if rarely necessary.

Psychological Endurance, Anxiety, and Coping Style among Journalists Engaged in Emergency Events: Evidence from China
Authors: WANG Long , KANG Canhua , YIN Zongyi , SU Fang
Published: May 2019

Background: During reports of emergency events, journalists experience psychological crisis and negative emotions aroused by the events. The psychological endurance of journalists, which is induced by high risks of the career, has attracted widespread attention. Emotional state and coping style are important factors that influence the psychological endurance of individuals. This study aimed to analyze the relationship of psychological endurance with anxiety and coping style among journalists engaged in emergency events.
Methods: A total of 296 journalists in Hubei Province of China who participated in reports on emergency events from August to December 2017 were selected. Journalists were assessed using the Psychological Endurance Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale, and Simple Coping Style Questionnaire.
Results: The total score of the psychological endurance of journalists engaged in emergency events is slightly lower than that of the Chinese norm. Score of anxiety of highly educated journalists is significantly higher than that of lowly educated journalists. Psychological endurance of journalists is negatively correlated with negative coping style and anxiety, but it is positively correlated with positive coping style. Positive coping style of journalists engaged in emergency events partially mediates the effects of psychological endurance on anxiety.
Conclusion: Among journalists engaged in emergency events, the highly educated group presents obvious anxiety and negative coping style. Psychological endurance indirectly affects through positive coping style and directly affects anxiety of journalists.

Authors: EBRAHIMZADEH Zeinab , GOODARZI Mohammad Ali , JOULAEI Hassan
Published: May 2019

Results: Regression analysis showed that of two mediating variables (age & educational level), only age could predict 5% (P<0.001) and of two predictive variables (depression & PTSD) only PTSD could predict 53% (P<0.001) of medication adherence's variance. Moreover, of two mediating variables (age & disease duration), only age could predict 3% (P<0.004) and of two predictive variables (depression & PTSD) only PTSD could predict 4% (P<0.001) of CD4 variance.
Conclusion: The posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms could predict the medication non-adherence and lower CD4 levels.
Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Insulin, Fasting Blood Glucose, and Waist-Hip Ratio in Young Females with Pre-existing Vitamin D Deficiency
Authors: AlSheikh Mona Hmoud , Almubayadh Shayma Ibrahim
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D is an essential nutrient requirement for adults and children for normal metabolism and maintenance of healthy bones. Its deficiency may disrupt homeostasis and contribute to systemic diseases, especially in obese patients. This study aimed to examine the effect of vitamin D on insulin, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) in young and obese Saudi females with pre-existing hypovitaminosis D.METHODS: The results of this study were based on prospective parallel randomised controlled clinical trial conducted at King Fahd University Hospital in which 30 obese Saudi young females aging 18-23 years with preexisting vitamin D deficiency contributed. Participants were randomly assigned to either vitamin D supplementation group (experimental) or placebo group (control). Subjects of vitamin D group received 50,000 IU/week of cholecalciferol drops and placebo group received 10 mL of normal saline drops for 12 weeks.RESULTS: The results of multivariate repeated measures analysis showed a change in serum 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol levels after vitamin D supplementation (F=296.132, p<0.05). There was also an indication of difference between the vitamin D group and placebo group. The only significant relationship was found between vitamin D and FBG (p<0.05). Supplementation of vitamin D improved FBG but did not contribute to improving insulin level. There was no association between vitamin D supplementation and WHR.CONCLUSION: This study concludes that supplementation of vitamin D improves FBG, but it has no contribution in improving insulin level. No association exists between vitamin D supplementation and WHR. The insignificant correlation of vitamin D intake with WHR and insulin can be attributed to the small sample size, therefore, further research is suggested with large sample size.KEYWORDS: vitamin D, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, waist hip ratio, hypovitaminosis D
Protein Intake, Prognostic Nutritional Index and Quality of Life in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy
Authors: Kelvianto Andry , Witjaksono Fiastuti , Sekarutami Sri Mutya
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND: It has not been well understood whether the quality and quantity of protein intake could affect the quality of life. Quality of life is associated with nutritional status, but the usage of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) to reflect quality of life of head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy also still has not been widely studied.METHODS: A cross sectional study was performed in 61 head and neck cancer patient undergoing radiotherapy. The quantity and quality of protein intake were obtained using semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) which was analized by analyzed using Nutrisurvey 2007, PNI was obtained using a calculation of Onodera’s formula based on laboratory data of serum albumin and total lymphocyte count (TLC), and domains of quality of life were obtained from the interview of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and EORTC Quality of Life Head and Neck module (QLQ-H&N35) and then calculated to get each domain’s score on quality of life.RESULTS: Patient’s median of total protein intake was 1.42 (0.26-4.11) g/kg/day. The median of PNI was 45.9 (29.4- 54.2). Quantity of protein intake was significantly correlated with several symptoms domain of quality of life. PNI was also significantly correlated with one functional domain and two symptom domains of quality of life. This study did not show a significant correlation between quantity and quality of protein intake with PNI.CONCLUSION: PNI has the potential to reflect quality of life of head and neck cancer patients. Future studies might be beneficial to show the usage of PNI to reflect quality of life, especially involving the progressivity of quality of life.KEYWORDS: animal protein, chemoradiotherapy, cachexia, quality of life

The research objectives are follows: (1) to test and prove empirically the effect of human resources on village Financial Reports Quality; (2) to test and prove empirically the effect of internal controls on village Financial Reports Quality. (3) to test and prove empirically the effectiveness of Village Financial System (SISKEUDES) on the village Financial Reports Quality. The research object were villages in Bantul Regency. The samples were 43 villages selected by purposive sampling method. The respondent targets were village heads, village secretaries, or financial staff. This study uses a quantitative method with primary data collection by questionnaires. The study results show that human resources in villages of Bantul Regency are still low due to lack of training and experience to make financial reports. The internal control system of villages in Bantul Regency is quite satisfactory. They have understood the procedures of their respective main tasks and functions, the risks faced of their mistakes and frauds. The Village Financial System in villages of Bantul Regency has been effectively implemented because all villages have used the Village Financial System application in order all the financial reports can be directly accounted for by central government.
An Exploration of the Needs of Men Experiencing Domestic Abuse: An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis
Authors: Wallace Sarah , Wallace Carolyn , Kenkre Joyce , Brayford Jo , Borja Simon
Published: May 2019

This study determines the needs of men experiencing domestic abuse from an intimate partner. In-depth interviews with 6 men who sought support are analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). Four master themes (interpreted as needs) are identified from analysis, “recognition” (of male victims and the impact), “safety,” “accepting domestic abuse,” and “rebuilding.” A need for recognition is identified as the dominant theme influencing the capacity for the 3 remaining needs to be met. Domestic abuse is generally understood to be a gendered, heteronormative experience. Abused men are not acknowledged as “typical” victims. The lack of recognition prevented participants from accepting and recognizing their victimization resulting in delayed help-seeking and prolonged abuse. A joint commitment is required from policy and practice to raise the profile of abused men, challenge wider society's prevailing norms, and embed equal status for all victims.

Os sentidos da “crítica” nos estudos de competência em informação
Authors: Bezerra Arthur Coelho , Beloni Aneli
Published: May 2019

Os esforços deste artigo se concentram na avaliação dos sentidos do predicado “crítica” associados à competência em informação em alguns dos trabalhos mais citados sobre o tema, nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Para tanto, nossa metodologia partiu de um levantamento bibliográfico em bases de dados digitais, com vistas à produção de uma lista de referência de publicações sobre competência em informação que tragam a palavra “crítica” (ou um de seus derivados). A partir dessa lista, foi feita uma avaliação semântica do termo em questão, com o intuito de captar os sentidos atribuídos a tal “crítica”. Além desse objetivo geral, também verificamos, como objetivo específico, a presença de referências aos autores mais conhecidos do pensamento crítico na filosofia, na sociologia e na pedagogia. Os resultados mostraram uma significativa presença do educador brasileiro Paulo Freire, indicando uma aproximação com a pedagogia crítica, porém, uma baixa incidência de diálogos com a filosofia e com a teoria crítica da sociedade, notada pela quase inexistência de menções a sociólogos e filósofos como Kant, Hegel, Marx e Horkheimer. Não obstante, a pesquisa detectou certa afinidade semântica com tal tradição teórica. A conclusão sugere o desenvolvimento da perspectiva crítica rumo ao que vem sendo chamado de competência crítica em informação, de forma a estimular não apenas a reflexão científica, mas também a práxis emancipatória dos indivíduos.
Divulgação científica nos arquivos do Brasil: representação arquivística na construção da memória e identidade
Authors: Orrico Evelyn Goyannes Dill , Silva Eliezer Pires da
Published: May 2019

Objetivar a divulgação dos acervos arquivísticos para um público amplo é tarefa estimulante porque, tradicionalmente, esse público não visita os arquivos.O pressuposto de que é função social do arquivo ampliar a utilização de seus acervos e o número de seus usuários é o que norteia este estudo sobre as condições do acesso aos documentos de arquivo por parte da população. Assim agindo, o arquivo permite a efetivação da plena cidadania. A dimensão divulgadora faz com que essas instituições consigam atingir um público cada vez maior para utilizar seus acervos, aumentando o número de seus usuários. O objetivo desta proposta é tematizar a perspectiva de ampliação do acesso aos documentos custodiados nos arquivos, considerando a existência de instituições que anunciam ter essa finalidade para os acervos que organizam e preservam. A abordagem metodológica é exploratória e utilizou a revisão de literatura sobre categorias conceituais relacionadas com divulgação de acervos arquivísticos e construção de memórias. Os resultados são: ainda há uma identificação precária entre os arquivos públicos e a maior parte da população; nota-se a insuficiência de estratégias elaboradas pelas entidades custodiadoras sobre seus acervos arquivísticos de modo a atingir um público amplo que comumente não visitaria os arquivos. Esta investigação não só amplia o conhecimento sobre os arquivos como recurso informacional para o cidadão, mas principalmente propicia a produção de conhecimento sobre um tema fundamental para a emergência de novas discussões no espaço acadêmico envolvendo diversos atores sociais: a representação do conhecimento arquivístico para a população leiga.

Published: May 2019

Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar os princípios FAIR e a iniciativa Global Open FAIR que busca disseminar esses princípios em todos os países interessados na aplicação dos dados FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) em seus serviços de informação. Propõe ainda a divulgação e capacitação de instituições de ensino e pesquisa nesses princípios, com o intuito de promover a normalização no tratamento da gestão dos dados garantindo a interoperabilidade entre eles. Como procedimento metodológico, utiliza a revisão bibliográfica e documental para o embasamento teórico sobre ciência aberta, acesso aberto à informação científica e aos dados de pesquisa, visando fundamentar os princípios FAIR em aplicações e serviços de gestão de dados de pesquisa. Ressalta a importância desse tipo de iniciativa para a expansão mundial de abertura dos dados de pesquisa no âmbito da ciência aberta. Ao final, aponta para a necessidade de uma mudança nos processos de pesquisa em ciência e tecnologia na direção da adoção desses princípios.

Published: May 2019

No contexto da fase de interpretação e validação de uma Análise de cocitação de Autores, são formulados os seguintes objetivos: (i) comparar dados dos artigos citantes do corpus com dados que caracterizam os citantes e os autores citados de um agrupamento de uma ACA; (ii) propor indicadores adicionais relacionados aos autores que formam um agrupamento; e (iii) visualizar a rede de documentos cocitados dos autores que formam o agrupamento. O trabalho é exploratório e metodológico e os dados foram retirados de 151 artigos da área da Organização do conhecimento, do período de 2011 a 2015, recuperados na Web Of  Science. Uma matriz simétrica com 50 posições (autores com nove ou mais artigos citantes) gerou cinco agrupamentos. O principal agrupamento (17 autores) é o objeto dessa análise. Os autores são cocitados em 69 artigos. Das 131 relações dos autores nas referências, 84 ocorrem no parágrafo. Há dados que comparam citações, citantes e documentos citados para cada um dos 17 autores. São citados 230 artigos distintos no agrupamento. Conclui-se que a proximidade da cocitação no parágrafo valida o agrupamento e que os demais dados ampliam a visão da formação e da caracterização das relações de cocitação. Os resultados demonstram que os agrupamentos em uma ACA podem ser analisados como unidades autônomas e que a descrição dos dados que sustentam a formação do agrupamento (artigos e autores citantes) e que caracterizam os autores participantes e a rede de documentos cocitados, colabora na validação e interpretação das relações, pois apresenta dados objetivos. Espera-se que essa abordagem exploratória possa ser aplicada em outras ACA, independente da área.
The Right of Privacy and Freedom of the Press: The Concept of Legal Justice in Indonesia
Authors: Nasution Abdul Haris
Published: May 2019

This study aims to describe the problems faced by the party who feels aggrieved or impaired by his personal rights due to media coverage. The dilemma arises because based on the legal system of the press, the media are given protection from lawsuits. This is to guarantee the position of freedom of the press in a democratic system. However, the impact that has been caused due to defamation cannot be resolved simply by using the right of reply. This study aims to explore how legal mechanisms provide justice for victims due to media behavior in line with the principle of press freedom in Indonesia. The results show that the Indonesian Press Law does not have a clear system of legal liability. The rule of conduct in the Press Law is absolutely not regulated. Thus, the right of reply that is contained in the media consciousness or "order" of the Press Council is not a binding and final decision because the Press Council's body only gives an opinion. Violation of the ethics of the press should not only have a moral sanction but also a legal sanction with all its consequences.

Quadrant glitches are caused by friction and motion loss on the feed axis of machine tools. A previously developed method of compensating for quadrant glitches using the feed axis in which the friction model and time series data are not consistent with the actual friction behavior has some problems, making it difficult to construct a feedback system with a high response problems such as a feed axis with a large lost motion. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop an innovative method of compensating for the quadrant glitches caused by the motion of the feed axis of the machine tool using a newly proposed hybrid spindle system with an active magnetic bearing at the end near the end mill and a ball bearing at the other end in combination with a proportional-integral-derivative controller. This study aims to verify the effectiveness of the proposed quadrant glitch compensation method through experiments on the motion of the end mill using a model experimental device for the hybrid spindle system. Through experiments, a quadrant glitch with a peak of 7 μm without compensation is decreased to 1 μm by applying the proposed method using the hybrid spindle system. The undercut error is also decreased by applying the proposed method.
PROTON DRIPLINE FOR ISOTONE N = 18, 20, AND 22 USING MODIFIED RELATIVISTIC MEAN FIELD (MRMF) MODEL
Authors: Diningrum Jenny Primanita , Sulaksono Anto
Published: May 2019

Determining the position of one- and two-proton dripline for isotone of N = 18, 20, and 22 has been studied through Modified Relativistic Mean Field (MRMF). The model exemplifies three impacts, namely isovector-isoscalar coupling, tensors, and electromagnetic exchange through five parameter set variations. The position of one- and two-proton dripline for the isotones is predicted by applying two methods, which are two-proton separation energy, and Fermi energy. The research shows that the prediction of one- and two-proton dripline for isotone of N = 18, and N = 20 is positioned at Z = 22 and Z = 26 consecutively.  Then, the prediction of one- and two-proton dripline for isotone of N = 22 has two positions, Z = 26 and Z = 28. The calculation result indicates that the position prediction for isotone of N = 18, N = 20, and N = 22 is following the research result conducted by Nazarewicz with RMF+NLSH model [1]. Meanwhile, isovector-isoscalar coupling, tensors, and electromagnetic exchange do not affect massively for the position prediction of two-proton dripline. However, the three methods affect one-proton dripline.

Published: May 2019

The researcher analyzed the Result and Discussion Sections of 10 dissertations of Iranian PhD students and 10 British PhD students by aiming to investigate their use of politeness strategies using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) taxonomy and its relationship with the gender of the authors. The results proved that Iranian writers most frequently used negative politeness strategies, followed by positive politeness strategies. British writers, like Iranians, used negative politeness strategies more than the others. The next frequent strategy was positive politeness strategies. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the frequency of politeness strategies used by Persian and British writers. Considering the gender, there is a significant difference between the positive strategies used by male and female Iranians. In fact, unlike the Male Iranian authors who used more positive strategies, the female Iranian authors used fewer strategies and this difference was significant. However, that there was no significant difference between the positive strategies used by British male and female participants. Also, there was a significant difference between the negative strategies used by male and female Iranians. In fact, the results show that the female Iranian authors used fewer strategies and this difference was significant. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the negative strategies used by British male and female participants.
