Polish Cultural Policy in 2001–2005
Authors: KHAKHULA Liubomyr
Published: March 2020

The article describes the basic principles of Polish cultural policy during the post-communist governments (2001–2005) in the context of the activities of the National Heritage Institute, the National Center for Culture and the Center for International Cultural Cooperation «Institute of Adam Mickiewicz»established by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland. Special attention is given to the organizational and project activities of the institutions, their dependence on changing political vectors, and their role in promoting Polish history and culture abroad.

Formed in the late XXth century the conservative principles of representation of the Polish national heritage, based on the tradition, identity, reproduction of national models, were partially transformed during the run of power of the Polish post-communist governments led by the Democratic Left Alliance party in 2001–2005. The return of the post-communists to power for the Polish conservatives and liberals, who were considered the heirs of the opposition «Solidarity» movement, was a time of forming the foundations of a «new historical policy» based on a broad national narration and necessity of promoting Polish exclusive culture and history abroad. Activities, within the Ministry of Culture, of institutions responsible for promoting polish culture, in particular through organizing the «Year in Poland», Scholarship Program for artists and translators «Gaude Polonia», and exhibition activities, marked the birth of new qualities of promotion of Poland abroad. The accession of the Republic of Poland to the European Union, integration into the pan-European cultural market was also reflected in the formation of a new cultural product and the attempts to become involved in European financial programs aimed at culture. The implementation of the «new historical policy», especially after the 2005 elections and the coming to power of the conservative Law and Justice party, became a partly counterpart of such activity.

Russia's hybrid war and the annexation of Crimea through the eyes of Polish researchers
Authors: TURANSKIY Mykola , KHARUK Andriy
Published: March 2020

The article covers annexation of the Crimean peninsula in the framework of the hybrid war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in the works of Polish researchers. Emphasizes the key role of the information component of the hybrid threat. The methodological basis is the principles of historical knowledge – science, complexity, objectivity, which determine the analysis of scientific publications in connection with socio-political and socio-economic events. On the basis of consideration of the works of domestic and Polish scientists, the peculiarities of the Russian information-psychological operation on the incorporation of the Crimean peninsula were analyzed, attention was paid to the facts of distortion of events and manipulation of the consciousness of society. The author aims to analyze the current and future paradigm of the development of the military-political situation in Ukraine and Europe. Prospects for further research should be aimed at supplementing the knowledge about the totality of factors of various influences of Russia on the countries of the post-Soviet space, as well as on the course of events in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, identifying the tendencies of Russian information-psychological expansion and counteracting it in the context of information security.

The works of Polish researchers confirm that the tendency of increasing the role of the information resource of the state and its strategic importance in the overall system of defense potential is now clearly visible. In 2014, it was a common mistake of most scientists and experts to believe that only Ukraine is the target of hybrid attacks, however, after five years of hybrid aggression, it becomes clear that the hybrid war "in Russian" there is against the western countries also. The subject of the hybrid Kremlin attacks is European democracies, and Moscow's goal the destruction of within European and Euro-Atlantic unity. Poland plays an important role in supporting the EU's policy of maintaining sanctions on Russia, which is a key instrument to deter further escalation of hybrid actions against Ukraine. There was an urgent need for scientific research of problems relating to information and psychological confrontation, propaganda technologies and counter-propaganda. Given the relevance and practical importance of these issues, further research is advisable to carry out in the direction of development of complex materials on the history of hybrid wars, with a significant emphasis on the consideration of information-psychological operation on the annexation of the Crimea.

Military educational establishments of Lviv in the 19th – the first third of the 20th centuries
Authors: HORBACHEVSKYI Taras , LYTVYN Mykola , SCHEHLOV Andryj
Published: March 2020

The founding and activities of military schools in Lviv during the Austro-Hungarian period are considered, in particular, an attempt was made to review versions of the establishment of a cadet school in the city. Not only the Austrians, but also the Poles, who were interested in organizing the military training in the army, were interested in organizing a military school in Galicia. A large documentary examines the creation of the Cadet Corps in 1921, the educational work of this educational institution with military training in the interwar period of the twentieth century. It has been argued that the educational system of the Corps in Lviv for two decades has used two systems of education-national and state. The educational process combined two components: educational – at the level of the Mathematics and Natural Grammar School and military – at the level of the course of the school of the infantry infantry. Considering the considerable amount of physical education, the implementation of such a program was possible only under the conditions of creation of a certain system. Officers and caregivers tried to promote good manners among the cadets through daily communication, shared food, and personal behavior. Cadet actions in the days of city celebrations and celebrations were traced.

The relocation and activities of the Corps in Lviv after the First World War were intended to promote the ideas of Polish statehood on the territory of the so-called. Lesser Poland, the education of young people on the traditions of the Polish Army, in particular the Polish legions who fought in Volyn and Galicia during the First World War. At the same time, the cult of the Lviv Eagles and of the «defenders» of Lviv in 1918 was actively promoted. After graduation, most cadets chose the military profession.

OUN's anti-Soviet resistance and the activities of Ukrainians from Eastern Galicia to preserve national foundations in Lemkivshchyna in 1939–1941
Authors: LYUBCHYK Igor
Published: March 2020

The article outlines events that are indirectly and directly related to the OUN and the activities of the intelligentsia from Eastern Galicia in the territory of Lemkivshchyna during the first Sovietization of Western Ukraine. The outbreak of World War II became a new test for the population of the Ukrainian-Polish-Slovak borderlands in the context of the ethno-national transformations of Central and Eastern Europe. The methodological basis is a comprehensive approach to the analysis of this problem.

Since the beginning of the Sovietization of Galicia in 1939 the authorities have resorted to increased propaganda among the Lemkos for their departure to the USSR while taking advantage of the deplorable social situation of the locals and their low level of self-consciousness. Simultaneously, the most active figures of the region together with the local representatives of the OUN underground tried in various ways, from agitation to deliberately provoked false calls, to prevent the Lemkos from departure to the USSR.

In the study based on source materials revealed the peculiarities of counteraction of local representatives of the nationalist underground to the Bolshevik propaganda in Lemkivshchyna of the departure to the Ukrainian SSR. At the same time the article reveals the nature of the activity of the intelligentsia from Eastern Galicia among the Lemkos. It is emphasized that immediately since the beginning of the World War ІІ considering the Bilshovyks occupation of Eastern Galicia, conscious and committed Ukrainians, began to arrive in Galician Lemkivschyna. They led an active public activity among Lemkos in schools, cooperatives, in cultural and educational institutions. It has been proved that the emigrants-refugees of the local intelligentsia from Eastern Galicia, despite the short stay in the Lemkos territories, played an important role in consolidating the region's national forces, actively working to raise the level of self-consciousness of the population of the region, thereby affirming the strong national foundations of the Lemkos region.

The prospects of further research are to find out how the Soviet regime prepared the ground for violent deportation, initially through voluntary resettlement of Lemkos. The lessons and consequences of this event show that important state-building processes require thorough preparation and unity of all national forces.

The Ukrainian context of the 2019 election campaigns in Poland by the European Parliament and the Sejm and Senate
Authors: GULAY Vasyl , MAKSYMETS Vira
Published: March 2020

The authors assume that the results of the 2019 elections in Poland to the European Parliament and the Sejm and the Senate influence not only the transformation of the country's party system and its socio-political development in the coming years, but also the place and importance of Poland's interstate relations with Ukraine in general and specific problems of large-scale Ukrainian labor migration to Poland in particular.

The completion of the elections to the European Parliament of the 9th cadence actually gave rise to the election campaign to the Sejm and Senate of the Xth convocation. The predominant practice of most political parties has been to provide candidates of Ukrainian descent or immigrants from Ukraine (despite even a minimal number of them against the background of the Ukrainian national minority and newly naturalized citizens of the Republic of Poland) for the most part, starting places in the relevant regional party lists.

Despite the noticeable growth of broad Ukrainian subjects since the fall of 2013, first in Polish foreign and then domestic politics, this has not, however, been reflected in a corresponding quantitative and qualitative conversion following the 2019 elections to the European Parliament and the Sejm and Senate of the Republic of Poland. The 2019 elections, among other things, draw attention not only to the place and role of the Ukrainian national minority in the political life of Poland, but also to indicate the political participation of Polish citizens from among the new migrants of the 1990s – 2010s, in view of the growing the extent of naturalization as Polish citizens of our country of origin, and the differences between different socially active environments of Polish citizens of Ukrainian descent. Internal processes among politically active Ukrainians in Poland who have the right to vote allow us to speak of a departure from the prevailing sympathies with the Civic Platform over the decades in favor of new left-wing political projects.

Optimal estimation of lice release from aquaculture based on ambient temperatures
Authors: Johnsen IA , Stien LH , Sandvik AD , Asplin L , Oppedal F
Published: March 2020

Models for mapping and forecasting infective pressure from salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis larvae are of major importance in the Norwegian government’s management of salmonid aquaculture. These models use site-reported temperature and number of egg-producing female adult lice present within cages to calculate how many lice eggs and larvae are released from individual farms. The reported temperature is critical in this calculation, as temperature influences both frequency of ‘spawnings’ and egg developmental time until hatching. Farms report temperature measured at 3 m depth, as defined by regulation. However, the salmon themselves, and therefore also the attached female lice and their eggs, often swim deeper to meet their preferred temperature within the water column. This study compares calculated lice egg production based on reported temperature at 3 m depth to calculated lice egg production based on a hydrodynamic ocean model of temperature stratification and salmon-preferred temperature in the modelled stratifications. The results clearly show that present legislated routines with farm site temperature measurements at 3 m depth lead to underestimation of egg and larvae production in winter and overestimation in summer for a range of sites. Future mitigating management and models of lice output should use the temperature measured or modelled for the depths the salmon predominantly occupy.
The effect of neonicotinoid insecticide thiacloprid on the structure and stability of DNA
Authors: Verebová V. , Želonková K. , Holečková B. , Staničová J.
Published: March 2020

The application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers constitutes a potential risk to human and animals due to the presence of their residues in the food. Thiacloprid belongs to a group of neonicotinoid insecticides. It shows a cytotoxic/cytostatic effect in human peripheral blood lymphocytes probably due to DNA damage. The use of thiacloprid is increasingly widespread worldwide, therefore is very important the assessment of its possible genotoxic and cytotoxic effects on a living organism. That is the reason why we studied the thiacloprid influence on the structure and stability of DNA in presented work. We have been studied the thiacloprid interaction with calf thymus DNA. Association constant was determined by fluorescence spectroscopy using equilibrium receptor-ligand binding analysis. The thermal denaturation of DNA was used to identify the mode of interaction. Viscosity changes were recorded to confirm/disconfirm the intercalation mode of interaction. Given the results, we can conclude that neonicotinoid pesticide thiacloprid destabilizes DNA. It changes the structure and stability of DNA through binding into the minor groove by hydrophobic or hydrogen interactions.

Contextualizing Wertmüller's 1785 Portrait of Marie-Antoinette through Dress
Authors: Van Cleave Kendra
Published: March 2020

Wertmüller's 1785 portrait of French Queen Marie-Antoinette was a disappointment when first exhibited, a reaction partially explained by the conflicting associations surrounding the Queen's dress. This article examines the gown worn by Marie-Antoinette in the portrait — a robe à la turque — and its wider context in 1770s–1780s France. The gown, which was probably a real garment, corresponds to contemporary fashion plates and extant garments of the same style, whose distinct cuts demonstrate their connection to Turkish dress. The style's fashionability and formality is considered, as well as its role in the Queen's wardrobe and reputation. The turque joined other Ottoman-inspired French fashions in aligning with the Enlightenment ideas about simplified, unostentatious dressing that Marie-Antoinette embraced. However, the turque opened the Queen to criticism based on its fashionability, as well as connections between Ottoman dress, luxury and eroticism.
Improvements in CO2 Booster Architectures with Different Economizer Arrangements

Published: March 2020

CO2 transcritical booster architectures are widely analyzed to be applied in centralized commercial refrigeration plants in consonance with the irrevocable phase-out of HFCs. Most of these analyses show the limitations of CO2 cycles in terms of energy efficiency, especially in warm countries. From the literature, several improvements have been proposed to raise the booster efficiency in high ambient temperatures. The use of economizers is an interesting technique to reduce the temperature after the gas cooler and to improve the energy efficiency of transcritical CO2 cycles. The economizer cools down the high pressure’s line of CO2 by evaporating the same refrigerant extracted from another point of the facility. Depending on the extraction point, some configurations are possible. In this work, different booster architectures with economizers have been analyzed and compared. From the results, the combination of the economizer with the additional compressor allows obtaining energy savings of up to 8.5% in warm countries and up to 4% in cold countries with regard to the flash-by-pass arrangement and reduce the volumetric displacement required of the MT compressors by up to 37%.

Published: March 2020

To evaluate the influence of water content on the hard coal dynamic behavior, the dynamic tensile properties of saturated coal Brazilian disk (BD) samples were studied using a split Hopkinson pressure bar system, and dry samples were also tested as a control group. In the range of impact speeds studied, the tensile strength of the saturated coal is lower than that of the dry specimen. A synchronized triggering high-speed camera was used to monitor the deformation and failure process of dry and saturated coal samples, allowing analysis of the failure stages and mechanism of dynamic BD test, the broken mode was classified into three types, which can be classified into unilateral tensile failure, bilateral or multilateral tensile failure, and shear failure. Finally, fragments smaller than 5 mm in diameter were statistically analyzed. There is less debris in range of 0–5.0 mm for the saturated coal sample than for the dry coal. This study provides some information about the dynamic response of the hard coal for the relevant practical engineering.
Optimized Scheduling of EV Charging in Solar Parking Lots for Local Peak Reduction under EV Demand Uncertainty
Authors: Ghotge Rishabh , Snow Yitzhak , Farahani Samira , Lukszo Zofia , van Wijk Ad
Published: March 2020

Scheduled charging offers the potential for electric vehicles (EVs) to use renewable energy more efficiently, lowering costs and improving the stability of the electricity grid. Many studies related to EV charge scheduling found in the literature assume perfect or highly accurate knowledge of energy demand for EVs expected to arrive after the scheduling is performed. However, in practice, there is always a degree of uncertainty related to future EV charging demands. In this work, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) based smart charging strategy is developed, which takes this uncertainty into account, both in terms of the timing of the EV arrival as well as the magnitude of energy demand. The objective of the strategy is to reduce the peak electricity demand at an EV parking lot with PVarrays. The developed strategy is compared with both conventional EV charging as well as smart charging with an assumption of perfect knowledge of uncertain future events. The comparison reveals that the inclusion of a 24 h forecast of EV demand has a considerable effect on the improvement of the performance of the system. Further, strategies that are able to robustly consider uncertainty across many possible forecasts can reduce the peak electricity demand by as much as 39% at an office parking space. The reduction of peak electricity demand can lead to increased flexibility for system design, planning for EV charging facilities, deferral or avoidance of the upgrade of grid capacity as well as its better utilization.
New Adaptive High Starting Torque Scalar Control Scheme for Induction Motors Based on Passivity
Authors: Travieso-Torres Juan Carlos , Vilaragut-Llanes Miriam , Costa-Montiel Ángel , Duarte-Mermoud Manuel A. , Aguila-Camacho Norelys , Contreras-Jara Camilo , Álvarez-Gracia Alejandro
Published: March 2020

A novel adaptive high starting torque (HST) scalar control scheme (SCS) for induction motors (IM) is proposed in this paper. It uses a new adaptive-passivity-based controller (APBC) proposed herein for a class of nonlinear systems, with linear explicit parametric dependence and linear stable internal dynamics, which encompasses the IM dynamical model. The main advantage of the HST-SCS includes the ability to move loads with starting-torque over the nominal torque with a simple and cost-effective implementation without needing a rotor speed sensor, variable observers, or parameter estimators. The proposed APBC is based on a direct control scheme using a normalized fixed gain (FG) to fine-tune the adaptive controller parameters. The basic SCS for induction motors (IM) and the HST-SCS were applied to an IM of 200 HP and tested using a real-time simulator controller OPAL-RT showing the achievement of the proposal goal.
High Temperature Pyrolysis of Municipal Plastic Waste Using Me/Ni/ZSM-5 Catalysts: The Effect of Metal/Nickel Ratio
Authors: Al-asadi Mohammed , Miskolczi Norbert
Published: March 2020

This work is dedicated to the high temperature pyrolysis of municipal plastic waste using Me/Ni/ZSM-5 catalysts. Catalysts were synthetized by wet impregnation. In addition to nickel, synthetic zeolite catalysts contain calcium, ceria, lanthanum, magnesia or manganese. Catalysts were prepared and tested using 0.1, 0.5 and 2.0 Me/Ni ratios. Catalyst morphology was investigated by SEM and surface analysis. Higher concentrations of second metals can block catalyst pore channels due to the more coke formation, which leads to smaller surface area. Furthermore, the chemicals used for the impregnation were among the catalyst grains, especially in case of 2.0 Me/Ni ratios. For pyrolysis, a horizontal tubular furnace reactor was used at 700 °C. The highest hydrogen and syngas yields were observed using ceria- and lanthanum-covered catalysts. The maximum production of syngas and hydrogen (69.8 and 49.2 mmol/g raw material) was found in the presence of Ce/Ni/ZSM-5 catalyst with a 0.5 Me/Ni ratio.
Histidine and tyrosine decarboxylase activities of lactic acid bacteria in sea bream (Sparus aurata) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Authors: DOĞAN Yağmur Nil , PAMUK Şebnem , GÜRLER Zeki
Published: March 2020

Biogenic amines (BAs) are formed by decarboxylation of amino acids, amination and transamination of aldehyde and ketone groups. The excess of BAs is harmful to human health. BAs play a significant role in determining the shelf life and quality of foods. Released type and amount of BAs depend on factors such as the quality of the raw material, the diversity of natural microbiota, processing and storage conditions. In fish, the release of BAs is affected primarily from microbial growth as well as other reasons and may cause poisoning. It was aimed to determine the possibility of histidine decarboxylase activity gene (hdc) and tyrosine decarbocylase activity gene (tyrdc) in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) which were isolated from sea bream and sea bass. A total of 18 Gram positive-catalase negative LAB was isolated from 84 fish samples from 14 different fish markets. It was found that 12 out of 18 LAB (67%) isolates showed negative histidine and tyrosine decarboxylase activities. While 2 out of 6 (11%) LAB isolates were determined positive only tyrosine decarboxylase and 4 of them (22%) were positive for histidine and tyrosine decarboxylase. As a result of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), 9 out of 12 LAB isolates (75%) were found to have histidine decarboxylase activity gene. As a result, the prevalence of histidine decarboxylase activity gene in the LAB has detected more extensive than tyrosine decarboxylase activity gene. Increasing the studies examining the presence of aminobiogenic microorganisms in fish is important for the protection of public health.
The relationship of fructose consumption with MDA levels in rat liver and its effect on the expression levels of COX-2 and NRF-2 genes
Authors: ÖZKAN Hüseyin , KUTLU Tuncer
Published: March 2020

The use of fructose as converted sugar in the food industry is quite common. Steatosis and degeneration occur due to the use of fructose in the liver where sugar is primarily metabolized. However, there is not enough information about the level of MDA and the expression levels of COX-2 and NRF-2 in the liver with low and high fructose consumption. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of fructose solutions on the expression levels of COX-2 and NRF-2 genes as well as MDA levels in the livers of rats. In this study, the effects of different fructose solution [F15; (15%) F30; (30%) and F60; (60%)] consumption for 10 weeks in rats on the MDA levels also COX-2 and NRF-2 genes expression levels in the liver were investigated. The MDA level and COX-2 gene expression level in F60 group were higher than the control and other groups (P<0.01). These findings suggest that MDA elevation in the liver may be due to inflammation. However, no change was observed in total NRF-2 gene expression. Also, a positive correlation was found between levels of COX-2 and NRF-2 expressions in F30 (0.965; P<0.01). These findings may be attributed to inflammation of liver. This may have been due to an increase in nuclear formation of NRF-2. As a result, the use of high concentration fructose solution has been found to increase the level of MDA in the liver due to inflammation.
Yeats's Re-Enchanted Nature
Authors: Hewitt Seán
Published: March 2020

W. B. Yeats identified anti-Enlightenment principles as being central to his generation’s artistic project. Characterizing the worldview he was writing against, he argued that “the mischief began at the end of the seventeenth century when man became passive before a mechanized nature” (OBMV, xxvii). By charting the processes by which he reimagined nature and the poet’s (and poem’s) position in relation to it, we can begin to understand Yeats’s developing ecological relationships as a matrix for his shifting understanding of mysticism (and vice versa). Focusing in particular on the prefatory texts to The Shadowy Waters, this article shows that, rather than seeking to escape physical nature (as with his Blakean model), or to render it uninfluential, a reenchanted phenomenal nature (attained through a confluence of primitivist, occultist, and folkloric thought) was fundamental to Yeats’s poetical, philosophical, and aesthetic project.

Danese Cataneo, «felicissimo spirito» nelle carte tassiane. L’Amor di Marfisa e la Gerusalemme liberata
Authors: Artico Tancredi
Published: March 2020

Published in 1562, Danese Cataneo’s epic-chivalric poem Amor di Marfisa had a wide but undervalued influence in Torquato Tasso’s masterpiece, Gerusalemme liberata. In this short essay I’ll provide the necessary evidences to demonstrate the existence of a deep connection between those two poems, and establish how it is organized. In particular, Cataneo’s literary legacy, which is underlined by a long list of quote, is strongly perceptible for what concerns the expression of feelings and thoughts. Amor di Marfisa, in this regard, gives to the young Tasso an unusual example of epic poem interested in characters’ psychology: aspects such as the self-analysis and the fragmentation of the ego are underrated in Ariosto’s Orlando furioso and all the other Italian poems in ottava rima, whereas they are fundamental in Cataneo’s poem. More than just an example, it represents for Tasso a training ground and a mine, where he founds themes and lexicon that later will be used in Gerusalemme liberata.

Monicelli e la memoria della Grande Guerra
Authors: De Leva Giovanni
Published: March 2020

In my essay, I examine Mario Monicelli’s La Grande Guerra, in order to verify if its comic and anti-heroic perspective really leads to a new concept of WWI. I first retrace the director’s previous filmography, where the characters, genres and patterns which will recur in La Grande Guerra originally take shape. I then reconstruct the movie’s genesis, focusing on the sources the screenwriters refer to: not only WWI movies and memories, such as Kubrick’s Paths of Glory and Lussu’s Un anno sull’Altipiano, but also, quite unexpectedly, La vita militare by De Amicis.

On this basis, I analyse the representation of the war, in its figurative and narrative elements. In many senses, it’s a war seen from the ground, and indeed the scenography and script take inspiration from the soldiers’ pictures of the front and their military songs. In this realistic context, Monicelli develops the plot of two cowardly privates, from a poor, undisciplined background, who ultimately identify with their nation enough to sacrifice themselves for their compatriots.

The purpose of highlighting the unacknowledged war contribution of the mass, however, is somehow contradicted by the army’s image. The comic and anti-heroic aspects, indeed, concern only the low-ranked soldiers, while the Command is represented in a sentimental way. In this respect, Monicelli confirms a rhetoric coming from De Amicis, and later inherited by Fascism: the army as an image of a model society, where North and South, rich and poor, educated and illiterate unite, and where everyone deserves his hierarchical rank.
Traduzioni belles infidèles. Commenti a quelle dei componimenti lubrici di Domenico Tempio
Authors: Monzone Chiel
Published: March 2020

Belles infidèles is a French expression highlighting a well-known problem in translating from one language to another. This is true especially in the field of literature and particularly in poetry, where the exterior aspects of the words (for example, the harmony of rhymes, the images, the emotional vibrations, the semantic fields, the polysemy, and so on) become substantial and hardly translatable. The essay focuses on some bad translations of some selected verses from the obscene poems by a 18th-century Sicilian dialect poet, Domenico Tempio: they clearly show the translators’ intervention, who took many liberties and betrayed the formulation, the sense and the effect of the original texts. The essay proposes some more faithful translations of them.

La ruptura uterina se define como la disociación de la pared del cuello uterino, segmento o cuerpo uterino incluyendo su peritoneo con o sin expulsión de las partes fetales a la cavidad abdominopelvica, emergencia que necesita resolución quirúrgica inmediata que puede terminar en histerectomía (2,3). En mujeres con antecedente de cesárea sometidas a prueba de trabajo de parto el riesgo de ruptura uterina es entre 0,2 a 1,5% (2). La probabilidad de la complicación está latente cuando el periodo interpartos es menor a 24 meses, cuando el feto tiene un peso mayor a 4,000 grs, en casos de hiperdinamia, partos laboriosos, histerorrafia en un solo plano, cicatriz uterina menor a 2,5 mm medido por ecografía y maniobra de kristeler (3,4).

 

En la mayoría de los casos el origen de este accidente es atribuido a la fuerza que sobrepasa la

capacidad elástica de la cicatriz a nivel del segmento uterino, con más posibilidad que ocurra en la fase activa o en el periodo expulsivo donde el musculo uterino se agota y sufre máxima presión que logra disociarla, pudiendo quedar los bordes de la lesión uterina irregular, edematoso, equimóticos,

sangrante, que ya abierta la cavidad abdominal debe delimitarse y volver a explorar a fin de hacer un control efectivo de la hemorragia y darle reparación (3).

Currently universities need to be competitive. The current environment forces universities to design strategies where the student becomes the center of their activity. Elements such as student satisfaction become key performance indicators of the strategy, so that universities are required to establish metrics that make it possible to measure the level of performance achieved based on the objectives they had previously set. In order to verify it, through a series of dimensions that measure the satisfaction of the teaching-learning process, a scale has been proposed to measure satisfaction. To confirm the consistency of the proposed scale, the reliability and validity indicators of the same were verified. The selected sample corresponds to university students studying undergraduate and master’s degrees in the online mode. Results obtained show the importance of correctly setting the objectives and contents of the different subjects that make up the curricula of each grade, as well as the outstanding role that the teacher has in said process.

Este artículo tuvo como objetivo comprender de qué manera las políticas públicas de recreación/ocio en las capitales de los países andinos son implementadas y promueven el acceso a acciones, espacios y equipamientos en el contexto en el que actúan, buscando identificar cuáles son los grupos poblacionales y contenidos culturales priorizados. La metodología de esta investigación cualitativa contempló estudio bibliográfico, análisis documental y entrevistas con 15 gestores nacionales y municipales. Los resultados evidenciaron que las políticas implementadas privilegian ciertos grupos de la población en función de la vulnerabilidad a la que están expuestos, ya sea en función del ciclo de vida, de su identidad o condición, lo que varía según el contexto analizado. Se constata el predominio del contenido cultural físico-deportivo en los programas y actividades de recreación/ocio desarrolladas. Los espacios/equipamientos contemplados por la política pública sectorial consisten principalmente en infraestructura deportiva. Analizar las políticas públicas de recreación/ocio en las capitales de los países andinos posibilita problematizar y profundizar conocimientos en esta temática con una perspectiva regional, ámbito en el cual los estudios del ocio son todavía incipientes.

Este estudo, de natureza quantitativa, teve como objetivo analisar as atividades vivenciadas no lazer, por meio da Escala de Práticas no Lazer (ELP), com foco nas variáveis socioeconômicas. Uma amostra composta por 885 participantes tomou parte da pesquisa exploratória. Os dados analisados descritivamente apontam que as práticas sociais e virtuais estão entre as atividades mais praticadas. Diferenças entre os gêneros foram identificadas nas atividades manuais, sociais e físico-esportivo, esta última superior entre os homens. Pessoas solteiras realizam mais atividades no lazer. Pessoas com baixo nível educacional são mais engajadas em atividades manuais, sociais e virtuais. Já sujeitos com maior escolaridade, realizam atividades artísticas e turísticas. A idade apresentou correlação negativa com as práticas, com exceção das atividades manuais. Em relação à renda, houve correlação positiva no turismo. Apesar de a literatura sugerir que o envolvimento em atividades nos diversos conteúdos culturais do lazer seja positivo, os resultados evidenciam que questões socioeconômicas são determinantes para as escolhas no lazer.

A transistor laser (TL) is a device that operates at a high-speed with multiple functions such as output control with low wavelength shift and signal mixing. By adopting a high heat dissipation structure with a high-speed compatible wide electrode pad and thick Au plating in TLs, improvement of temperature performance in 1.3 μm wavelength npn AlGaInAs/InP TL was demonstrated. As a result, continuous-wave operation of a 1.3 μm TL up to 90 °C was achieved. The thermal resistance was estimated to be 25 K W−1, based on the spectrum behavior, which is at least four times lower than the previously observed value.
