Resumo Este estudo explora o cotidiano das famílias com filhos de 0 a 6 anos, residentes em Fortaleza, no Ceará, durante o período de distanciamento físico, estipulado pelo Governo do Estado do Ceará. Esta pesquisa qualitativa se utilizou do referencial da teoria de formação de vínculos na adversidade. Foram entrevistadas 30 mães, entre os meses de julho e agosto de 2020, utilizando videochamadas ou telefonemas. Para análise do material empírico, recorreu-se à análise de conteúdo de Bardin, possibilitando a criação de duas categorias temáticas: (1) o exercício do cuidado parental em tempos de covid-19; (2) o cotidiano das crianças diante da pandemia. A interpretação das narrativas revelou que alguns cuidadores buscaram realizar brincadeiras e atividades manuais com os filhos, e explicavam o que estava acontecendo no cenário mundial, exercendo a parentalidade positiva. Ademais, o distanciamento físico favoreceu o aumento da tolerância dos pais no tempo em que os filhos ficaram expostos às telas. Percebeu-se que os pais influenciaram a prática de hábitos alimentares não saudáveis entre as crianças e a manifestação de mudanças no comportamento dos filhos. Como conclusão, destaca-se a necessidade de um acompanhamento contínuo dos aspectos referentes ao desenvolvimento dessas crianças e do retorno delas às atividades presenciais.
A COMPETÊNCIA ARTÍSTICA DE PROFESSORES DE ARTES VISUAIS: ESTUDO DE CASO EM PONTA GROSSA (PARANÁ)
Authors: Lima Camila Bourguignon de , Knoblauch Adriane
Published: March 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a relação entre a competência artística e os procedimentos didático-metodológicos de professores de Artes Visuais do ensino fundamental II da cidade de Ponta Grossa-PR. Pretende-se refletir, sobretudo, como a apropriação artística dos professores configura a docência em arte no ensino fundamental anos finais. À maneira de Bourdieu, parte-se do pressuposto que a competência artística de professores resulta da combinação entre trajetória social, formação acadêmica e socialização profissional. O estudo de caso é exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, e busca triangular fontes de ordem bibliográfica, documental e resultantes de aplicação de questionário, observações sistemáticas e entrevista semiestruturadas. O universo compõe-se de quatro escolas periféricas e centrais e os participantes são quatro professores licenciados em Artes Visuais lotados em turmas de 6º ao 9º ano. Constata-se que os esquemas de interpretação dos quais os professores dispõem (o que constitui sua cultura) advém de referências identitárias com a cultura de massa, mas a formação acadêmica é qualificada por uma cifra eurocêntrica que reforça uma concepção hierarquizada da arte (atribuída às tradições da grande/alta cultura). As conclusões apontam que, a despeito dos eixos norteadores para o ensino de arte no Brasil serem de base multicultural, são reservados aos procedimentos didático-metodológicos um modelo de reprodução cultural (dinâmica canônica com artistas e movimentos de expressão iconográfica tradicional europeia e norte americana) e práticas globalmente valorizadas pelo sistema de ensino (culto ao conteúdo, atividades apostiladas e avaliações com finalidade de aplicação direta a vestibulares), contrariando a própria essência artística.
DIGITAL LITERACY AND PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE: AN APPROACH ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTINUING EDUCATION IN EDUCATION
Authors: Pereira Lidia Noronha , Ferreira Maria Olívia Silva
Published: March 2022

This article, from an educational perspective, sought to present the theme of digital literacy and its fundamental importance for the development of teaching practice. It started from the assumption that the school, as part of the social set, needs to establish a constant dialogue with the society of its time. In this bias, it is essential that the faculty be prepared to build their pedagogical practices based on information and communication digital technologies (TIDCs). For this, the present study sought to address the importance of digital literacy in the continuing education of Basic Education teachers. Thus, the studies of Soares (2002), Silva and Behar (2019), Souza (2005), Modelski, Giraffa and Casartelli (2019), among others, were fundamental for the discussion about digital literacy and teacher training facing the pedagogical practices permeated by digital technologies. The methodology used was qualiquantitative, because, in addition to the bibliographic study, it also had a case study carried out through a structured questionnaire, construction and data analysis. The target audience consisted of teachers of basic education in the region of Poços de Caldas, MG. The results pointed to the need for further expansion of public policies aimed at offering continuous training focused on digital literacy so that basic education teachers can develop skills in the face of the demands of the information society.
PERSPECTIVA FREIRIANA EM AÇÕES DE EXTENSÃO NA COMPUTAÇÃO: UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA SISTEMÁTICA (2010-2020)
Authors: Miranda Frederico Severo , Amaral Marilia Abrahão
Published: March 2022

O tripé das universidades brasileiras é composto por ensino, pesquisa e extensão. A partir das ações de extensão é possível articular o conhecimento científico em conjunto com as necessidades da sociedade e, desta forma, respaldadas por valores democráticos e igualdade de direitos, são capazes de promover o desenvolvimento social local. Entendendo a importância social oportunizada pelas ações de extensão, elucida-se a seguinte pergunta: como estão sendo realizadas as ações de extensão nas universidades? Neste contexto, o método utilizado para responder à pergunta em questão foi a execução de uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática que considerou as publicações dos últimos 10 anos presentes nas seguintes bases digitais: ACM, CEIE, IEEE, RBIE, Renote, ScienceDirect, SBIE e WIE. Foram utilizadas vinte e cinco palavras chaves, um critério de inclusão e seis critérios de exclusão. Após a extração dos dados e análise crítica referente aos artigos selecionados a partir de uma perspectiva freireana, foi construído um panorama sobre as ações extensionistas na área de Computação. Um dos oito itens que compõem este panorama traz à luz, por exemplo, que 61,54% das ações de extensão abordam tópicos referentes ao pensamento computacional ou o ensino de programação. Observando-se o panorama geral encontrado, é possível concluir que as ações de extensão apresentaram, por exemplo, uma hegemonia de tópicos de estudos, foco específico em um determinado público, baixo protagonismo discente, entre outras questões.
Local Action Groups as an Example of Participation and Development of Community: the Case of “Moravian Way” Local Action Group
Authors: Šaradín Pavel , Zapletalová Markéta
Published: March 2022

The main goal of this article is to present local action groups in the Czech Republic as participative and deliberative platforms offering a unique environment for citizen participation as well as other actors (representatives of public and local administration, NGOs, and local business interests) functioning as leaders of territorial development. The paper explores the specific case of the Moravian Way Local Action Group, describing and explaining the participative and deliberative tools used to create and subsequently evaluate territory-based strategies. This case demonstrates that the use of these forms leads to the successful development of the territory. The focus on deliberative tools and the participative behaviour of different sets of territorial actors adds an important new perspective to the evaluation of innovative participative processes on the local level.

Perceived environmental competitiveness is the degree to which people view situations and the people within them as being competitive. It broadly describes an individual's subjective perceptions of competition in their surrounding environment without limiting the source of those perceptions to situational aspects, individual traits, or developed relationships. There has been very little research on perceived environmental competitiveness at work, with the limited work focusing on how perceived environmental competitiveness positively impacts performance via performance-approach goals and negatively impacts performance via performance-avoidance goals. This dissertation builds on prior theoretical and empirical work on perceived environmental competitiveness to identify and test two antecedents-winning orientation and negatively interdependent rewards. Furthermore, this study probes deeper into the perceived environmental competitiveness-performance relationship by suggesting dual mediating pathways of challenge appraisal and threat appraisal moderated by core self-evaluation. Findings of a two-wave employee sample indicate that negatively interdependent rewards is positively related to perceived environmental competitiveness. Further, perceived environmental competitiveness may be appraised as a challenge or a threat, but the appraisal was not influenced by an individual's core self-evaluation.
Государства-рантье: взаимосвязи экономики и политики
Authors: Казанцев Андрей , Лебедев Сергей , Медведева Светлана
Published: March 2022

В статье рассматривается концепт государства-рантье и определяются его экономические и политические параметры. Демонстрируется, что хотя изначально концепт имел более экономическое “звучание”, в современных условиях это прежде всего политологический концепт. Показано, что государство-рантье имеет особые внутриполитические и внешнеполитические параметры. С точки зрения внутренней политики это персоналистский султанистский режим, захвативший контроль над нефтегазовым бизнесом. В результате формируется самоусиливающийся цикл – правитель контролирует ресурсы и за счет этого усиливает свою власть. Усиление власти позволяет жестче контролировать нефтегазовый бизнес, извлекать больше ренты и тем самым еще больше укреплять свои позиции. С точки зрения внешней политики государство-рантье – это государство, которое использует углеводороды как внешнеполитический ресурс. Основные внутриполитические и внешнеполитические закономерности в государствах-рантье тесно связаны: правящий режим захватывает контроль над нефтегазовым сектором как главным ресурсом страны, обеспечивает за счет этого свою стабильность, а также превращает его в инструмент балансирования во внешней политике. На основании выделенных политико-экономических критериев составлен список из 16 государств-рантье (к ним приложимы все вычлененные в работе закономерности). Эта группа включает в себя следующие государства: Ирак, Кувейт, Ливия, Ангола, Саудовская Аравия, Оман, Азербайджан, Венесуэла, Катар, ОАЭ, Алжир, Иран, Казахстан, Бруней-Даруссалам, Нигерия, Туркменистан. Была определена также переходная группа, в которой могут действовать отдельные закономерности.
Особый взгляд на великого соседа: восприятие Китая и китайцев на Юге Тихоокеанской России
Authors: Ларин Виктор , Ларина Лилия
Published: March 2022

В статье анализируются взгляды жителей приграничных с Китаем городов Дальневосточного федерального округа на Китай и китайцев, которые не только составляют активную компоненту российско-китайских приграничных связей, но и являются важным фактором экономической и общественной жизни этих территорий. Анализ основывается на результатах полевого исследования, проведенного лабораторией изучения общественного мнения Института истории ДВО РАН летом 2019 г., которые сопоставляются с материалами предыдущих опросов, оценками российских и зарубежных исследовательских центров, посвященных китайской проблеме. По мнению авторов, несмотря на то что отношение к Китаю на приграничных территориях России вписывается в русло общероссийских позитивных трендов (дружественная страна, не представляющая для России угрозы), природа таких представлений различна. Если у подавляющего большинства россиян они базируются на абстрактных внешнеполитических представлениях и обрывочных знаниях о далекой стране, сориентированы на имидж Китая, созданный официальной пропагандой, то для жителей приграничья особенно важны собственная экономическая и социальная практики, личный опыт отношений с Китаем и китайцами. На деле ощущая выгоду от соседства, экономического и гуманитарного взаимодействия с Китаем, они активно выступают за экономическое сотрудничество с ним, отдавая ему приоритет перед другими странами. Однако субъектные, в значительной степени подсознательные факторы восприятия – социально-демографические и психологические – продолжают играть важную роль, а поэтому взгляды дальневосточников на Китай не являются цельными и бывают довольно противоречивыми. Приблизительно пятая часть населения настроена против Китая, категорично выступает против расширения китайского экономического и демографического присутствия на российской территории. Около половины жителей российско-китайского приграничья не имеет устоявшихся взглядов на Китай, так что любые негативные процессы в двусторонних отношениях могут легко развернуть общественные настроения в противоположную сторону.

Authors: KAYA Nisa G. , MERTOL Hüseyin
Published: March 2022

Gifted students have unique educational needs due to their superior cognitive skills. In other words, gifted students learn faster, deeper and consistent than their normally developing peers. Besides, creativity is one of the most important features of gifted students. Thus the properties of gifted students should be taken into account while planning their curriculum. Furthermore, due to rapid changes in science and technology, 21st century requires some new skills such as collaboration, communication, Information and Communication Technology literacy, and social and/or cultural competencies. In this context, educators should create learning environments that enable the gifted students to produce divergent thoughts and unusual solutions to global problems. This paper aims to discuss the change in educational sciences and how this change reflects to the learning process of gifted students to reach 21st century skills. The appropriate techniques used in gifted education in order to develop required new skills are reviewed.

Published: March 2022

According to current estimates, industrial effluent discharge has contaminated around one-third of INDIA’s water, solid waste, and other hazardous waste.The bulk of these defaulting industries are petrochemicals, sugar mills, distilleries, leather processing industries, paper mills, agrochemical and pesticide manufacturing sectors, and pharmaceutical businesses.For these industries, surface water is the major waste disposal method.Untreated or ostensibly treated effluents have raised the quantity of surface water pollution by up to 20 times the acceptable limit in 22 seriously polluted locations throughout the world. Almost all water bodies in INDIAwas found to be contaminated by industrial activity. Although the strict guidelines of the Central Pollution Control Board(CPCB) apply to all industries in India, the current state of the environment is far from ideal.

Published: March 2022

Proper Management of Plastic waste is necessary for improving aesthetics of the environment. This study is focused on finding the effective use of plastic waste in bituminous mixes. Different proportions of shredded plastic are mixed at a percentage of 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% in bitumen binder and coated on aggregates in a percentage of with fly ash as a filler material using dry and wet process. Marshal stability Analysis is done for DBM mix having bitumen content lying between 4.5-6% at an increasing rate of 0.25% in order to find its compatibility in the field. A comparison has been made between the plastic-coated aggregates and conventional aggregates. This experimental study shows optimum plastic content of 6% and 9% using wet process and dry process respectively with 2 % of fly ash as filler instead of using conventional cement gives better results than the traditional bituminous mix. It is also determined that maximum 9% of bitumen can be replaced by plastic giving 40% higher stability value than the conventional bituminous mixes. Subsequently, the use of plastic waste and fly ash in road construction will be economical and create a sound environment.
Locating Cracks in 1050 Aluminium Alloy by Digital Image Correlation
Authors: Tewari Kavita , Kulkarni R. K.
Published: March 2022

In this paper deformation of commercial 1050 grade aluminum alloy is studied by digital image correlation (DIC) technique using open-source software, Ncorr. For this purpose, samples of aluminum alloy were subjected to uniaxial deformation under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) till the initiation of crack. Intermittently images were captured during deformation and by using DIC technique, variations in the microstructure of the deformed samples were identified in terms of displacement. Using these displacements, normal strains Exx, Eyy, and Exy shear strain were estimated to subpixel accuracy. By superimposing the region of crack and distribution of strains in the microstructures, it was possible to show that near the crack, strains not only attain high values but also show large fluctuations. Various aspects relating to the nature of strain distribution are discussed in the paper.
Historical morphological changes (1956-2017) and future trends at the mouth of the Ebro River delta (NE Spain)
Authors: Aranda García María , Gracia Prieto Francisco Javier , Rodríguez-Santalla Inmaculada
Published: March 2022

The present work focuses on the recent morphological changes recorded in the Ebro River delta, by using aerial photographs in the last six decades and by analyzing changes in the main constitutive features through geomorphological maps. Geomorphological maps of the years 1956 and 2017 are here presented. The results obtained give very valuable clues about the recent trends of the river delta mouth, which can be used to predict future coastal changes to be expected in the following decades. In this sense, by analysing changes in the surface by means of the geomorphological maps together with a shoreline analysis, a differential behavior has been described at both sides of the river mouth: the left side, El Garxal wetland, shows an accretionary trend with rates reaching +40 m/year, while the right side, San Antonio Island, shows erosive trends of more than -20 m/year. This last side also presents a surface reduction of more than 50 ha in the last 60 years. These results suggest that, approximately by the year 2050, the emerged San Antonio Island may disappear if shoreline retreat trends are maintained, making El Garxal exposed to easterly storms, the main erosive dynamic processes in this zone and, therefore changing the entire configuration of the Ebro River delta mouth in the upcoming years. Despite possible solutions have been described in recent works, they may not contribute to a total recovery of the most natural part of the Ebro Delta. Urgent management plans are required to attempting to slow or reverse these trends, otherwise one of the most valuable ecosystems of the delta could disappear.
An Advanced Optimization Based Simulation Model to Study the Impact of Cyber-Physical Attacks on Power Systems
Authors: Zhu Jiawei , Ramachandran Bhuvana
Published: March 2022

The promotion of energy internet causes external information to directly or indirectly affect power system control decisions through various business approaches. The interaction mechanism between power network and information network becomes increasingly complex. Modern power systems become more prone to cyber-attacks and physical attacks because of the high integration of information layer and physical layer. This paper provides an insight into the impacts of cyber and physical attacks on power systems, where the attacks are modeled in the form of mathematical (optimization) equations representing the attacks. Moreover, the cyber and physical attacks are modeled in the form of Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. The authors have simulated cyber-attack on transmission lines and cyber-physical attack on both transmission lines and loads. The MILP problem is solved by commercial solver, CPLEX. A case study on a modified IEEE 14 bus test system is considered to demonstrate the results of this research. Simulation results on the test system show that the cyber and physical attacks on power systems could cause undesirable load curtailment and mitigation of such attacks becomes essential for secure operation of the electric grid. This research would enable the power system operators to understand the potentially damaging effects of cyber-physical attack and advance their knowledge about such attacks so that prevention and mitigation of attacks on the power systems is possible.
Precise Inter-Device Audio Playback Synchronization for Linux
Authors: Mikulicz Szymon
Published: March 2022

Wave Field Synthesis is a method producing sound that uses arrays of closely placed speakers. This creates an unique challenge for distributed playback systems. Because of clock frequency drift, the playback must constantly be corrected via interpolation and shifting in time of the played stream. In this paper a new approach to network based audio playback synchronization is presented, that makes heavy use of the PTP network time synchronization protocol and ALSA Linux audio subsystem. The software does not need any specialized hardware and can approximate precisely how the playback stream should be interpolated via a set of statistical indicators. The evaluation shows that the difference between two devices playing audio using the presented system is under 10 μs for 99 % of the time, which fully satisfies the requirements of Wave Field Synthesis. The system was compared to other network audio synchronization systems available currently: NetJack2, RAVENNA and Snapcast, all of which had from 10 to 50 times higher differences between two devices than the presented system.
Study Protocol: Racial Discrimination, Cultural Processes and Wellbeing Among Asian University Students
Authors: Rodriguez Cloudia , Ruo Ying Feng  , Irene Vitoroulis
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in racial discrimination and xenophobia directed towards Asians has been documented in Western countries. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have also led to increases in mental health problems among people worldwide. Individuals from Asian backgrounds are at high risk for experiencing a dual-threat, due to risk for racial discrimination, in addition to general life and COVID-19-specific stressors. In Canada, the largest population of foreign- and Canadian-born immigrants are from Asian origins, while 74.9% of Canada’s international students in Canadian universities come from Asian countries. Considering the increase in incidents of racism and violence against Asian communities in Canada and the potential impacts of discriminatory events, our goal is to investigate associations between in-person and online racial discrimination and mental health among university students from Asian backgrounds, and the extent to which general coping strategies (e.g., problem-focused, emotion-focused, physical activity) contribute to better mental health outcomes among students. Because individuals from immigrant backgrounds, including Asian, are highly heterogeneous in terms of their immigration characteristics (e.g., immigrant status, length of residence), we will also examine the extent to which cultural processes (i.e., acculturation, cultural identity) affect associations between racial discrimination and mental health.

Methods and analyses: University students from Asian backgrounds will be asked to complete an online survey examining mental health, in-person and online racial discrimination, physical activity, coping strategies, and cultural processes (i.e., acculturation, cultural identity). Hierarchical multiple regressions will be conducted to examine associations between racial discrimination and mental health, and the moderating role of coping strategies and cultural processes.

Ethics and Dissemination: This project has received ethics approval from the University of Ottawa Research Ethics Board. Results of the study will be published in UOJM and can later be submitted for internal or external conference presentations or other journals, recognizing UOJM as the primary publisher.

Published: March 2022

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has led a variety of changes in healthcare delivery. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as the use of face masks has become a new norm in daily life. While this has helped to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, challenges in social interaction and communication have been identified, especially in those with hearing impairment. This study aimed to identify some of the challenges faced by this COHORT and provided some practical solutions to support these patients.Methods: An observational study was conducted by inviting speech and language therapists (SALTs) to provide their observations on the implications of face masks for children with hearing impairment in Sligo university hospital, Ireland from August 2021 to September 2022. Thirty-three SALTs were invited to participate via the Irish association of speech and language therapists (IASLT) website.Results: Twenty-five responses were received. Common observations include distress amongst parents and children due to difficulties in communication, delays in accessing hearing-aid assessments and cochlear implantation referral and poor compliance with speech and language rehabilitation.Conclusions: This study identifies a number of challenges faced by children with hearing impairment during the current pandemic. A number of practical recommendations have been provided to alleviate and reduce the consequences of these.
A prospective, multicentric study to determine the safety and effectiveness of fixed-dose combination of camylofin dihydrochloride and nimesulide in patients presenting with acute colicky abdominal pain in India
Authors: Jadhav Kirankumar , Shukla Vineet , Kumar Anil , Kalita Partha P. , Borthakur Swapnav
Published: March 2022

Background: Spasmolytics and NSAIDs are a therapy of choice in colic pain. However, the tolerability and effectiveness of this combination remains unexplored. The aim of this prospective, single-arm, open label, multicenter study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Anafortan-N® (fixed-dose combination of camylofin dihydrochloride 50 mg + nimesulide 100 mg) in patients with acute colicky abdominal pain.Methods: In all, 295 patients with acute colicky abdominal pain and at least one episode of colicky pain in the last 24 hours were enrolled in this study. None of the patients were hospitalized. All patients were advised Anafortan-N® tablets twice daily orally for 5 days. The safety of Anafortan-N® was assessed by number and percentage of patients with adverse events (AEs) and change in the severity and frequency of AEs by the end of treatment. The tolerability was determined by number and percentage of patients who had to discontinue the treatment due to AEs. The effectiveness was evaluated as percentage change in the mean intensity of pain score (based on a 100-mm visual analog scale) from baseline to end of treatment.Results: Overall, 14 (4.7%) patients reported 14 AEs, all of which were treatment-emergent and non-serious. Of the 14 AEs, 7 AEs were mild, 6 AEs were moderate, and 1 AE was severe. No serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported. No adjustment of the study medication was required in response to any of the AEs, and none of the AEs led to discontinuation of the study treatment. At end of treatment (EOT), the pain intensity significantly (p<0.0001) reduced to 1.7±5.49 with a mean change of -69.9±17.42 from baseline, and the daily pain intensity significantly (p<0.0001) reduced to 0.1±0.38 with a mean change of -3.5±1.77 from baseline.Conclusions: Among Indian patients presenting with acute abdominal colicky pain, twice daily treatment with a FDC of camylofin dihydrochloride 50 mg and nimesulide 100 mg (Anafortan-N®) showed significant reduction in pain intensity with very few side effects, thereby confirming its safety, tolerability, and effectiveness in acute colicky abdominal pain.

Hydrological Considerations in Designing Roadways: Avoiding Hydroplaning
Authors: CAVDAR Sevgi , UYUMAZ Ali
Published: March 2022

Safety on highways is essential, but high water levels on lanes risk that. Drainage structures are mostly concerned with water spread at sideways and ignore the build-up flow on the surface. This study addresses whether optimizing cross slopes prevents hydroplaning. Water depths obtained using kinematic wave equation were tested against several studies for verification. Wide range of rainfall intensities and cross slopes was tested. Findings revealed that cross slope optimization for grades up to 10% prevents hydroplaning for intensities below 250mm/hr with widths up to 15m. The study shows cross slope optimization must be considered simultaneously with inlet design work.

Authors: Bahrin Nurul Liyana , Yusuf Sharifah Norzehan Syed , Muhammad Kamaruzzaman , Ghani Erlane K
Published: March 2022

This study aims to examine the factors influencing the effectiveness of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) programs among bank employees, specifically the three factors of staff expertise, IT infrastructure, and rules and regulations. One hundred and fifty-two AML analysts participated in the questionnaire survey. The results show that staff expertise and rules and regulations have a significant positive influence on the effectiveness of an AML program while, conversely, IT infrastructure has a significant negative influence on an AML program in a company. The findings in this study indicate that banks may need to take strategic and proactive measures or policies to increase their staff’s knowledge and understanding of their Anti-Money Laundering/ Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) policies and procedures. The measures may include regularly reviewing and updating existing policies and procedures. Banks may also need to review their strategy in adapting newer technology related to AML programs. The findings in this study could provide an understanding to banks and other interested parties in recognizing the main factors that can contribute to improving their AML programs.

The paper studies the effect of electron-beam welding modes on the structure and mechanical properties of workpiece joints obtained by selective laser melting metal-powder composition of EP648 alloy. The technological characteristics of serial brazing alloys of grades VPr4, VPr11-40N, VPr42, VPr50, VPr24 and the strength of joints at elevated temperatures during soldering of the EP648-PS alloy have been determined. We also studied the feasibility of using vacuum heat treatment before brazing the EP648 synthesized material and homogenizing heat treatment after it.

The fuel and energy complex of Ukraine, like most developed countries of the world, is a complex system of material production incorporating a set of many subsystems that cover the extraction, conversion, distribution, storage and consumption of energy. Ukraine's gas transportation system has an extremely complex system, which consists of gas pipelines of various purposes and capacities, compressor stations, compressor shops, gas distribution stations and underground gas storage facilities. Compressor stations, allied with underground storage, ensure full pipeline use, reliability of work, modes of regulation of transit flows and maintenance of uninterrupted supply. Their co-employment is considered one of the most effective methods of increasing reserves for reliable gas supply and efficiency of gas sales in the country and abroad. The use of storage reduces the unevenness of seasonal consumption and enables timely delivery. This is justified by the fact that during the year, gas production is uneven, as is consumption. In winter, the amount of gas extracted does not provide the amount of gas consumed. Therefore, underground storage facilities are an integral part of the gas transmission system, which must function efficiently. The Ukrainian gas transportation system is part of the European energy system, despite the fact that the country itself is not yet a member of the EU. To research the issues of improving the efficiency of the system and underground storage facilities, it is necessary to analyse the parameters of their work and study the problems of reducing costs during storage and transportation. In the work on the basis of the analysis of the cyclic operation of the Dashavsky underground storage, the energy approach to an estimation of losses of gas at storage is offered. This will streamline and specify the general ideas and the level of irreversible losses of natural gas as an energy source and will increase the efficiency of operation of the underground gas storage as a whole. At the same time, taking into account the energy characteristics of natural gas when forecasting its losses during storage will significantly affect the organisation and optimisation of maintenance of storage equipment and, in particular, the compressor station.

O presente artigo busca verificar como a cultura e seus agentes têm um papel fun­damental em uma possível gentrificação do bairro Floresta, no 4º Distrito, da cidade de Porto Alegre. Esse processo vem sendo promovido por iniciativas individuais e coletivas, tal como a criação de um distrito criativo, a atuação em rede de seus promotores e a formação de associações culturais. Por outro lado, existe um patrimônio material e imaterial no bairro e na região que oscila entre a preservação e a destruição pelos agentes públicos e privados. Nos últimos quatro anos, o 4º Distrito vem sendo pensado como área privilegiada para uma possível revitalização, em uma articulação entre as instituições públicas e os agentes privados atravessada por uma nova ideia de internacionalização da cidade de Porto Alegre. Essa estratégia global-local impulsa uma possível gentrificação na zona que poderia gerar um desenvolvimento desigual expulsando os moradores antigos e atraindo novos residentes para o território. Dentro dessa perspectiva, o trabalho busca aprofundar conceitos e discutir o que seria a cultura, patrimônio e gentrificação nesse contexto específico e relacioná-los com os dados empíricos sobre cultura e patrimônio gerados, a partir de pesquisa realizada ao longo de 2018, sobre o bairro Floresta.AbstractThis article seeks to verify how culture and its agents play a fundamental role in a possible gentrification of the Floresta neighborhood, in the 4th District, on the city of Porto Alegre. This process has been promoted by individual and collective initiatives, such as, for example, the creation of a creative district, the networking of its promoters and the formation of cultural associations. On the other hand, there is a material and immaterial heritage in the neighborhood and in the region that oscillates between preservation and destruction by public and private agents. In the last four years, the 4th District has been considered as a privileged area for a possible revitalization, in an articulation between public institutions and private agents crossed by a new idea of internationalization in the city of Porto Alegre. This global-local strategy drives possible gentrification in the area that could generate uneven development by expelling old residents and attracting new residents to the territory. Within this perspective, the assignment seeks to deepen concepts and discuss what culture, heritage and gentrification would be in this specific context and relate them to the empirical data onculture and heritage generated based on the research carried out throughout 2018 about the Floresta neighborhood.
A PROXIMIDADE A ESTRUTURAS DE OPORTUNIDADES MITIGA O EFEITO-TERRITÓRIO? EXAMINANDO AS ARTICULAÇÕES FUNCIONAIS ENTRE A POPULAÇÃO DO BAIRRO POPULAR VALE DAS PEDRINHAS E OS CONDOMÍNIOS FECHADOS VIZINHOS

 DOES THE SPATIAL PROXIMITY TO STRUCTURES OF OPPORTUNITIES MITIGATE NEIGHBORHOOD EFFECTS? ASSESSING FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE POPULATION OF THE SHANTY-TOWN VALE DAS PEDRINHAS AND ITS SURROUNDING AFFLUENT GATED COMMUNITIES

Neste trabalho, analisa-se o impacto do efeito-território nas condições de vida da população pobre do Vale das Pedrinhas, bairro inserido em uma região das classes média e alta de Salvador, Brasil. Com base em entrevistas, examina-se sob quais condições a proximidade a áreas residenciais de elite amplia as oportunidades de integração socioeconômica do indivíduo, pobre. O estudo demonstra que tanto existem mecanismos que prejudicam o indivíduo, como a influência do tráfico de drogas, como existem mecanismos que beneficiam a população, como a forte infraestrutura comercial. Destaca-se que as articulações funcionais sofreram importantes transformações no decorrer do tempo, que deixam vislumbrar uma deterioração das relações de vizinhança. Discute-se que o acesso a estruturas de oportunidades se vê condicionado por quatro fatores: o grau de autonomia funcional do bairro, o grau de imbricação funcional da população, o impacto do isolamento espacial na percepção do indivíduo, e o impacto do crime. O estudo urge refletir sobre a implementação de políticas urbanas, capazes de ampliar as oportunidades na escala do bairro.AbstractIn this research we will assess the impact of neighborhood effects on the lives of the poor inhabitants of Vale das Pedrinhas, Salvador, Brazil. On the basis of interviews, we will inquire under which  conditions the proximity to affluent neighborhoods widens their opportunities of socioeconomic integration. We can attest the existence of neighborhood-level operating mechanisms, which either constrain the individuals’ living conditions, such as the influence of drug trafficking, or entail positive effects, like the neighborhood’s strong commercial infrastructure. The functional relationships between the socially distant groups have suffered from a set of disruptions mostly detrimental to the poor population’s socioeconomic integration. The access to structures of opportunities is conditioned by the neighborhood’s degree of functional autonomy, the population’s functional embracement vis-a-vis its affluent surroundings, the impact of spatial isolation on the individual’s self-perception and theimpact of crime. In conclusion, we strongly advocate the implementation of urban policies capable of widening the individual’s opportunities at neighborhood level.
Strategie nacisku. Prasa kobieca w latach 1956–1959 a dostęp do w pełni legalnej aborcji w PRL-u
Authors: Konopka Adam
Published: March 2022

W 1956 r. wprowadzono w Polsce ustawę o warunkach dopuszczalności przerywania ciąży, która z założenia miała zwiększyć dla kobiet dostęp do legalnych i bezpiecznych zabiegów. Z uwagi jednak na szereg problemów ustawa ta nie mogła być początkowo w pełni realizowana, przez co pacjentki pozostawały nadal na łasce podziemia aborcyjnego aż do końca 1959 r., kiedy decyzją ministra zdrowia do przeprowadzenia zabiegu było potrzebne wyłącznie ustne oświadczenie kobiety, że nie jest w stanie urodzić dziecka. Autor artykułu podjął się analizy tekstów opublikowanych między wprowadzeniem ustawy a wprowadzeniem rozporządzenia w 1959 r. w czasopismach kobiecych „Kobiecie i Życiu” i „Przyjaciółce” oraz w promującym świadome planowanie rodziny dzienniku „Życie Warszawy”, przedstawiających konieczność zmiany prawodawstwa na takie, które rzeczywiście pozwalałoby kobietom przerywać ciążę wtedy, kiedy tego potrzebowały. W analizie wyszczególnione zostały problemy, które według autorek analizowanych publikacji, powodowały nieefektywność ustawy, postulaty zmian, które należy wprowadzić, oraz środki retoryczne mające służyć przekonaniu ustawodawców do zmiany prawa.
Delegalizacja etiopskiego małżeństwa „t’elefa”
Authors: Augustyniak Zuzanna
Published: March 2022

Demokratyczną Republikę Etiopii zamieszkuje ponad osiemdziesiąt grup etnicznych, które różnią się między sobą nie tylko językiem i kulturą, ale też prawem. Chcąc respektować tradycje kulturowe swoich mieszkańców, rząd zdecydował, że prawa zwyczajowe wszystkich grup etnicznych zamieszkujących Etiopię są legalne. Pogodzenie prawa stanowego i prawa zwyczajowego stało się szczególnie trudne w przypadku instytucji małżeństwa. Celem tego artykułu jest prezentacja zmagań prawodawstwa etiopskiego z delegalizacją małżeństwa „t’elefa”.
