Sobre a possibilidade de uma filosofia da técnica correta e verdadeira
Authors: Brea Gerson
Published: July 2018

Esse artigo pretende aproximar-se do fenômeno da técnica, a partir de uma discussão do texto “A questão da técnica”, de Martin Heidegger. Após uma breve introdução que apresenta diversos momentos de concepções antropológicas da técnica, a discussão analisará passagens centrais da proposta heideggeriana em que a essência da técnica é compreendida como um acontecimento da verdade. Finalmente, o artigo tecerá algumas reflexões, inspiradas em um trabalho de Alfred Nordmann, sobre os limites que o pensamento de Heidegger nos impõe quando pretendemos pensar outras possibilidades de uma filosofia da técnica.

Published: July 2018

Even though Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) program has been running in Indonesia since 2006, the proportion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected pregnant women remains high in some districts in Indonesia. The PMTCT program aims to reduce transmission of HIV from mother to child. Thus it requires an examination of the PMTCT program implementation. The study was a qualitative study on PMTCT program implementation in South Jakarta, Indonesia, whereas the proportion of children with HIV positive in the area was quite high. The analysis used domain analysis by looking the implementation of PMTCT as a system consisting of input, process and output. PMTCT strategy is based on a comprehensive four-pronged strategy. This study found that scaling-up communication and education about PMTCT program from health provider to community was needed. In the first prong, there was no specific health provider for PMTCT program, it was still integrated with the MCH staff. PMTCT program did not disseminate information to the community.Therefore, it seemed that it was underutilized. In the second prong, implementation of HIV testing and counseling for couples of women living with HIV remained a bottleneck because women living with HIV felt fear to inform their HIV status to their partners. Thus, counseling and HIV testing for couples have not benefited at all. These women were unsatisfied with the quality of counseling, and the failure to provide antiretroviral treatments. This study found the low coverage and less responsiveness of PMTCT program to build a network of partners with various elements of government.

Authors: A. Mousa Gehan , A. H. Elamir Elsayed
Published: July 2018

The study assesses corporate forward-looking disclosure by measuring four attributes, namely disclosure quantity, disclosure coverage, disclosure concentration and disclosure quality, through a sample of 34 listed firms in the Bahrain Bourse from 2014 to 2017. The study also investigates the relationship between these attributes and stock return volatility. Regression analysis has been employed with five different models to examine the relationship between the four attributes of corporate forward-looking disclosure and stock return volatility. The main finding of this study agrees with the results of Bravo et al. (2009) who found that the selection of a specific disclosure index could influence crucially the results of the analysis. In addition, stock return volatility has a statistically significant negative association with the three attributes of forward-looking disclosure, namely disclosure quantity, disclosure coverage and disclosure quality. In contrast, it has a non-significant association with the fourth attribute of forward-looking disclosure, disclosure concentration. This study provides a novel contribution to disclosure quality studies by being the first study to examine forward-looking disclosure quality attributes in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Published: July 2018

To find a new vector of developing anti-trust regulation the article researches mechanism of its transformation. In the process of research the academic hypothesis is proved, i. e. anti-trust regulation transforms in line with the change of models of state economy regulation and subject to the economic cycle is used by state as a tool of influencing the results of goods markets functioning with limited and developed competition. The disclosed cause- and effect links determining the transformation mechanism made it possible to identify stages of developing antitrust regulation in the world and in Russia. In order to overcome backwardness of economy and implement the National plan of developing competition  in the Russian Federation  conceptual principles were developed for the new phase of anti-trust regulation, which are shown in the model of interest balance with the respective key indicators. The presented model is the development of the Harvard paradigm ‘structure – behavior – result’ that was later supplemented with basic conditions and state policy, whose system includes anti-trust regulation. Therefore, with regard to designed conceptual principles with state regulation of goods market what is the most important is the balance of interests of entities of market – state, business entities and customers that form the structure, behavior and result.

Models of Quality Estimation of Multi-Parametric Management of Complicated Systems
Authors: Morozova O. V.
Published: July 2018

The author puts forward methodology of estimating and forecasting control quality in the system of managing business processes of the complicated multi-parametric system. The results of estimation are given in qualitative and quantitative forms. In order to calculate errors in control probabilistic models of false and unfound rejects were developed. For qualitative estimation of the system functioning imprecise models were developed. Probabilistic models make it possible to study the impact of statistic characteristics of modeling agents on control errors and risks. Producer’s risk and customer’s risk are considered as risks. Truthfulness and effectiveness of modeling can be checked through computer experiment on the basis of imitation algorithm. The mathematic model and the imitation algorithm have universal nature and can be used in different scientific and technical practical applications. The article describes a concrete example of estimating risks of decision-making in personnel quality management in higher education. To do this the theory of imprecise multitudes is used. To estimate the personnel quality a differentiated approach by totality of such parameters as experience, education, qualification, health, age is applied. As these parameters can hardly be estimated quantitatively, the imprecise approach on the basis of linguistic indicators is used. To combine differentiated indicators in the final integral assessment ‘human resource’ the mathematic expression was put forward. The author advanced a new multi-approach methodology of quantitative estimation of risks of decision-making in multi-parametric system of control and management through differentiated and integral functional indicators of the unit.

Authors: Arora Malika , Baldi Ashish , Kapila Nitesh , Bhandari Saurav , Jeet Kamal
Published: July 2018

Colon cancer is one of the most common and most diagnosed types of cancer. It is a
major cause of increased rate of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Currently, the focus has
been shifted towards natural remedies for the treatment of colon cancer. These new methods of
treatment include prebiotics and probiotics, as they offer great potential for alleviating symptoms
of cancer. These are more promising and have lesser side effects than existing medications. Probiotics
are living organisms which confer health benefits when ingested into adequate amounts.
Prebiotics are non-digestible ingredients which promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, which
produce metabolites for stimulation of apoptosis of colonic cancer cell lines. Apart from it,
prebiotics are helpful to modify the activity of enzymes to be produced by beneficial bacteria as
well as for inhibition of several bacteria able to produce carcinogenic enzymes. This review has
been collated to present tremendous benefits and future potential of pro- and prebiotics in the
treatment of colon cancer and to overview the mechanisms of probiotic actions along with their
impact on humans.
Quantum-Inspired Ant-Based Energy Balanced Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Rathee Manisha , Kumar Sushil , Dilip Kumar
Published: July 2018

Background:

Limited energy capacity of battery operated Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs) is the prime impediment in the ubiquity of WSNs as the network lifetime depends on the
available energy at the nodes. Prolonging the network lifetime is the principal issue in WSNs and
the challenge lies in devising a strategy for judicious use of available energy resources. Routing has
been one of the most commonly used strategies for minimizing and balancing the energy consumption
of nodes in a WSN.

Methods:

Routing in large networks has been proved to be NP-Hard and therefore meta heuristic
techniques have been applied for handling this problem. Quantum-inspired algorithms are relatively
new meta heuristic techniques which have been shown performing better than their traditional counter-
parts. Therefore, Quantum inspired ant Based Energy balanced Routing (QBER) algorithm has
been proposed in this paper for addressing the problem of energy balanced routing in WSNs.

Results:

Simulation results confirm that the proposed QBER algorithm performs comparatively better
than other quantum inspired routing algorithms for WSNs.

Published: July 2018

Background:

Speed and rotor position estimation is mandatory for vector control scheme
of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM).

Methods:

The estimation accuracy of Non-adaptive (Open loop) methods degrades as mechanical
speed reduces. The system becomes more robust against parameter mismatch and signal noises by
employing adaptive observers for estimation of speed and position. Sensorless scheme adopted for
estimating the PMSM rotor position based on its performance which eliminates the need for speed
sensors which are usually required in such control applications.

Results:

To achieve this goal, a Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) control scheme is
applied to work in conjunction with a vector control PMSM drive using Simulink. The PI controller
uses from estimated speed feedback for the speed sensorless control of PMSM.

Conclusion:

In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of sensor-based and sensorless based on Sliding
Mode Observer (SMO) techniques for vector control of PMSM is presented with regards to the steadystate
and dynamic performance robustness against parameter sensitivity, stability and computational complexity.
The control scheme is simulated in the MATLAB/Simulink software environment.

Masyarakat Indonesia adalah masyarakat plural yang multikultur. Menurut Suryadinata (Farida Hanum, 2012) Indonesia terdiri atas kurang lebih 600 suku bangsa dengan identitasnya masing-masing serta kebudayaannya yang berbeda-beda. Selain dari kehidupan suku-suku tersebut yang terkonsentrasi pada daerah-daerah tertentu, terjadi pula konsentrasi suku-suku di tempat lain karena migrasi atau karena mobilisasi penduduk yang cepat. Melalui sensus tahun 2000 tercatat 101 suku bangsa di Indonesia dengan jumlah total penduduk 201.092.238 jiwa. Dengan kenyataan tersebut, maka Indonesia merupakan negara multikultur apalagi bila ditambah dengan migran atau warga keturunan. Sebagai sebuah entitas, multikultur merupakan sebuah keniscayaan, sebabnya adalah setiap manusia pasti mempunyai perbedaan yang mencirikan antara manusia satu dengan lainnya.
