Kostenfreie Onlinekurse nachhaltig mit personalisiertem Marketing finanzieren – Ein Vorschlag zur synergetischen Kombination zweier datengetriebener Geschäftsmodelle
Authors: Rüdian Sylvio , Vladova Gergana
Published: April 2021

Selbstbestimmtes Lernen mit Onlinekursen findet zunehmend mehr Akzeptanz in unserer Gesellschaft. Lernende können mithilfe von Onlinekursen selbst festlegen, was sie wann lernen und Kurse können durch vielfältige Adaptionen an den Lernfortschritt der Nutzer angepasst und individualisiert werden. Auf der einen Seite ist eine große Zielgruppe für diese Lernangebote vorhanden. Auf der anderen Seite sind die Erstellung von Onlinekursen, ihre Bereitstellung, Wartung und Betreuung kostenintensiv, wodurch hochwertige Angebote häufig kostenpflichtig angeboten werden müssen, um als Anbieter zumindest kostenneutral agieren zu können. In diesem Beitrag erörtern und diskutieren wir ein offenes, nachhaltiges datengetriebenes zweiseitiges Geschäftsmodell zur Verwertung geprüfter Onlinekurse und deren kostenfreie Bereitstellung für jeden Lernenden. Kern des Geschäftsmodells ist die Nutzung der dabei entstehenden Verhaltensdaten, die daraus mögliche Ableitung von Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen und Interessen und deren Nutzung im kommerziellen Kontext. Dies ist eine bei der Websuche bereits weitläufig akzeptierte Methode, welche nun auf den Lernkontext übertragen wird. Welche Möglichkeiten, Herausforderungen, aber auch Barrieren überwunden werden müssen, damit das Geschäftsmodell nachhaltig und ethisch vertretbar funktioniert, werden zwei unabhängige, jedoch synergetisch verbundene Geschäftsmodelle vorgestellt und diskutiert. Zusätzlich wurde die Akzeptanz und Erwartung der Zielgruppe für das vorgestellte Geschäftsmodell untersucht, um notwendige Kernressourcen für die Praxis abzuleiten. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen, dass das Geschäftsmodell von den Nutzer*innen grundlegend akzeptiert wird. 10 % der Befragten würden es bevorzugen, mit virtuellen Assistenten – anstelle mit Tutor*innen zu lernen. Zudem ist der Großteil der Nutzer*innen sich nicht darüber bewusst, dass Persönlichkeitsmerkmale anhand des Nutzerverhaltens abgeleitet werden können.
Das Geschäftsmodell Data Facilitator im Consulting
Authors: Nissen Volker
Published: April 2021

Mit der Vervielfachung des Datenvolumens und der raschen Weiterentwicklung entsprechender Analysemethoden und Werkzeuge gibt es immer mehr Unternehmen, insbesondere aus dem kleineren Mittelstand, die aufgrund mangelnder Ressourcen und Fähigkeiten nicht in der Lage sind, ihre Datenschätze zu heben und daraus gute Entscheidungen im Hinblick auf ihre Produkte, Prozesse und Geschäftsmodelle abzuleiten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im vorliegenden Beitrag ein Data Facilitator Geschäftsmodell für Consultingunternehmen vorgeschlagen. Um nicht im Wettbewerb zurückzufallen, lagern hierin Unternehmen Aufgaben der Datenaufbereitung, Analyse und Interpretation an ein Beratungsunternehmen aus, das sich auf solche Themen spezialisiert hat. Berater erhalten dabei Zugriff auf kritische Datenströme des Kunden, die dann auf regelmäßiger Basis fachkundig, unter Einsatz moderner Analyseinstrumente untersucht werden. Es geht darum, frühzeitig „schwache Signale“ für zukünftige kritische Entwicklungen beim Kunden zu erkennen oder Ideen für geschäftliche Verbesserungen zu entwickeln. Dabei werden die Ergebnisse dem Kunden nicht kommentarlos übermittelt, sondern Auffälligkeiten von den Beratern unter Einbringung ihres Fachwissens mit den Kunden diskutiert und interpretiert. Der Kunde trifft dann gegebenenfalls Entscheidungen auf Basis der vorliegenden Datenlage. Da diese Dienstleistung fortlaufend erbracht wird, sind hierfür neue Bezahlmodelle im Consulting sinnvoll, wie z. B. eine monatliche Pauschale. Für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung des Geschäftsmodells sind in der Praxis eine Reihe von Problemen zu bewältigen, worauf im Beitrag ebenfalls eingegangen wird.
Self-Service-Portale mit Schwerpunkt Service-Request-Management: Analyse der Eignung existierender Software-Tool-Kategorien
Authors: Floerecke Sebastian
Published: April 2021

Zur Erbringung verschiedenster IT-Service-Management (ITSM)-Prozesse setzen insbesondere Großunternehmen seit Längerem umfangreiche ITSM-Software-Suiten ein. Im Rahmen ihrer Digitalisierungsinitiativen sind sie gegenwärtig verstärkt auf der Suche nach einem ergänzenden Self-Service-Portal. Damit können sich Mitarbeiter in erster Linie über die angebotenen IT-Services informieren und unterschiedliche Service-Request-Typen wie Neubestellungen, Änderungen und Kündigungen initiieren und häufig auch Incidents und Demands erstellen und verfolgen. Die Praxis zeigt, dass sich Unternehmen mit den in ihren jeweiligen ITSM-Software-Suiten als Modul integrierten Self-Service-Portalen hinsichtlich abgedeckter ITSM-Prozesse, allgemeinem Funktionsumfang und User-Experience nicht immer vollumfänglich zufrieden zeigen. Deshalb sehen sie sich vermehrt nach Alternativen um. Der Tool-Auswahlprozess stellt Unternehmensentscheider und IT-Verantwortliche allerdings vielfach vor ein Problem. Die Hauptgründe liegen in der inhärenten Komplexität von ITSM-Software-Suiten und dem großen, aus über 400 Anbietern bestehenden und damit intransparenten Tool-Markt. Vorliegender Beitrag greift diese Problemstellung aus der Praxis auf und geht der Frage nach, welche Tool-Kategorien in diesem Umfeld existieren und inwieweit sich diese jeweils für den Einsatz als Self-Service-Portal mit Schwerpunkt Service-Request-Management eignen. Grundlage der Untersuchung sind eine Internet-Marktrecherche, Gespräche mit erfahrenen Branchenkennern, eine systematische Literaturrecherche, Webseiten von Tool-Herstellern und Telefoninterviews mit Vertretern führender Tool-Hersteller.

Authors: Gichangi Peter , Waithaka Michael , Thiongo Mary , Agwanda Alfred , Radloff Scott , Tsui Amy , Zimmerman Linea , Temmerman Marleen
Published: April 2021

Background

Demand for family planning met/satisfied with modern contraceptive methods (mDFPS) has been proposed to track progress in Family Planning (FP) programs for Sustainable Development Goals. This study measured mDFPS among married women of reproductive age (MWRA) in Kenya to identify which groups were not being reached by FP programs.

Materials and methods

Performance, Monitoring and Accountability 2020 (PMA2020) survey data from 2014–2018 was used. PMA2020 surveys are cross-sectional including women 15–49 years. PMA2020 used a 2-stage cluster design with urban/rural regions as strata with random selection of households. Univariate and multivariate analysis was done using stata V15.

Results

Of the 34,832 respondents interviewed from 2014 to 2018, 60.2% were MWRA. There was a significant decrease in demand for FP from 2014 to 2018, p = 0.012. Lowest demand was among 15–19 and 45–49 years old women. Overall, modern contraceptive prevalence rate increased significantly from 54.6% to 60.8%, p = 0.004, being higher for women from urban areas, home visits by health care worker (HCW), educated, wealthy, visited health facilities and exposed to mass media. Unmet need for FP decreased from 23.0–13.8% over the 5-years, p<0.001. Married adolescent 15–19 had the highest unmet need and those from rural areas, poor, uneducated and not exposed to mass media. mDFPS increased significantly from 69.7–79.4% over the 5-years, p<0.001, with increase in long acting reversible contraception/permanent methods from 19.9–37.2% and decrease in short acting methods from 49.9–42.2%. Significant determinants of mDFPS were age, rural/urban residence, education, wealth, health facility visitation, exposure to FP messages via mass media in the last 12 months, year of study and county of residence.

Conclusions

Results show a good progress in key FP indicators. However, not all MWRA are being reached and should be reached if Kenya is to achieve the desired universal health coverage as well as Sustainable Development Goals. Targeted home visits by HCW as well increase in mass media coverage could be viable interventions.
Efficient sparse estimation on interval-censored data with approximated L0 norm: Application to child mortality
Authors: Chen Yan , Zhao Yulu
Published: April 2021

A novel penalty for the proportional hazards model under the interval-censored failure time data structure is discussed, with which the subject of variable selection is rarely studied. The penalty comes from an idea to approximate some information criterion, e.g., the BIC or AIC, and the core process is to smooth the ℓ0norm. Compared with usual regularization methods, the proposed approach is free of heavily time-consuming hyperparameter tuning. The efficiency is further improved by fitting the model and selecting variables in one step. To achieve this, sieve likelihood is introduced, which simultaneously estimates the coefficients and baseline cumulative hazards function. Furthermore, it is shown that the three desired properties for penalties, i.e., continuity, sparsity, and unbiasedness, are all guaranteed. Numerical results show that the proposed sparse estimation method is of great accuracy and efficiency. Finally, the method is used on data of Nigerian children and the key factors that have effects on child mortality are found.

Published: April 2021

Background

Dietary supplements (DS) are products that improve the overall health and well-being of individuals and reduce the risk of disease. Evidence indicates a rising prevalence of the use of these products worldwide especially among the age group 18–23 years.

Aim

The study investigates the tendencies and attitudes of Bangladeshi undergraduate female students towards dietary supplements (DS).

Methods

A three-month (March 2018-May 2018) cross-sectional face-to-face survey was conducted in undergraduate female students in Chittagong, Bangladesh using a pre-validated dietary supplement questionnaire. The study was carried among the four private and three public university students of different disciplines in Chittagong to record their prevalent opinions and attitudes toward using DS. The results were documented and analyzed by SPSS version 22.0.

Results

Ninety two percent (N = 925, 92.0%) of the respondents answered the survey questions. The prevalence of DS use was high in undergraduate female students. The respondents cited general health and well-being (n = 102, 11.0%) and physician recommendation (n = 101, 10.9%) as a reason for DS use. Majority of the students (n = 817, 88.3%) used DS cost monthly between USD 0.12 and USD 5.90. Most of the students (n = 749, 81.0%) agreed on the beneficial effect of DS and a significant portion (n = 493, 53.3%) recommended for a regular use of DS. Highly prevalent use of dietary supplements appeared in Chittagonian undergraduate female students. They were tremendously positive in using DS. The results demonstrate an increasing trend of using DS by the undergraduate females for both nutritional improvement and amelioration from diseases.

Conclusion

Dietary supplements prevalence was so much higher in students of private universities as compared to students of public universities. Likewise, maximal prevalence is indicated in pharmacy department compared to other departments. Students preferred brand products, had positive opinions and attitudes towards dietary supplements.

Published: April 2021

Objective

To examine the health care costs associated with mental disorders and subthreshold mental disorders within a nationally representative sample of children and adolescents in Australia.

Method

Data were derived from the Young Minds Matter Survey (N = 6,310). Mental disorders were classified using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV. Participant data were linked to administrative data on health care costs. Adjusted generalized linear regression models and two-part models were used to estimate mean differences in costs between those with a mental disorder or subthreshold disorder and those without.

Results

Costs associated with health care attendances and medications were higher for children and adolescents with mental disorders and subthreshold mental disorders compared to those without a mental disorder. The additional population health care costs due to mental disorders amounted to AUD$234 million annually in children and adolescents, of which approximately 16% was attributed to out-of-pocket costs. Findings showed that those with subthreshold mental disorders or comorbid mental disorders have substantial additional costs of Medicare-funded medical and pharmaceutical services.

Conclusion and implication

Mental disorders in children and adolescents are associated with significant health care costs. Further research is needed to ensure that this population is receiving effective and efficient care.

The significance of cardiology screening of referees is not well established. Cardiovascular risk factors and diseases were examined in asymptomatic Hungarian elite handball referees undergoing extended screening: personal/family history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, laboratory tests, body-composition analysis, echocardiography, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Holter-ECG (n = 8), blood pressure monitorization (n = 10), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR; n = 27) and computer tomography (CCT; n = 4) were also carried out if needed. We examined 100 referees (age: 29.6±7.9years, male: 64, training: 4.3±2.0 hours/week), cardiovascular risk factors were: positive medical history: 24%, overweight: 10%, obesity: 3%, dyslipidaemia: 41%. Elevated resting blood pressure was measured in 38%. Stress-ECG was positive due to ECG-changes in 16%, due to elevated exercise blood pressure in 8%. Echocardiography and/or CMR identified abnormalities in 19%. A significant number of premature ventricular contractions was found on the Holter-ECG in two cases. The CCT showed myocardial bridge or coronary plaques in one-one case. We recommended lifestyle changes in 58%, new/modified antihypertensive or lipid-lowering therapy in 5%, iron-supplementation in 22%. By our results, a high percentage of elite Hungarian handball referees had cardiovascular risk factors or diseases, which, combined with physical and psychological stress, could increase the possibility of cardiovascular events. Our study draws attention to the importance of cardiac screening in elite handball referees.
Potential mammalian species for investigating the past connections between Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest

Published: April 2021

Much evidence suggests that Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest were connected through at least three dispersion routes in the past: the Eastern route, the central route, and the Western route. However, few studies have assessed the use of these routes based on multiple species. Here we present a compilation of mammal species that potentially have dispersed between the two forest regions and which may serve to investigate these connections. We evaluate the present-day geographic distributions of mammals occurring in both Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest and the likely connective routes between these forests. We classified the species per habitat occupancy (strict forest specialists, species that prefer forest habitat, or generalists) and compiled the genetic data available for each species. We found 127 mammalian species presently occurring in both Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest for which, substantial genetic data was available. Hence, highlighting their potential for phylogeographic studies investigating the past connections between the two forests. Differently from what was previously proposed, the present-day geographic distribution of mammal species found in both Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest points to more species in the eastern portion of the dry diagonal (and adjoining forested habitats). The Central route was associated with the second most species. Although it remains to be seen how this present-day geography reflects the paleo dispersal routes, our results show the potential of using mammal species to investigate and bring new insights about the past connections between Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest.

Friedrich Nietzsche e a crítica da subjetividade cartesiana

O nome de Descartes aparece várias vezes nas obras publicadas e nos fragmentos póstumos de Nietzsche. As considerações do filósofo alemão são quase sempre críticas e recuperam, embora com um diferente juízo de valor, a interpretação do pensamento cartesiano fornecida pela tradição idealista. Nesta perspetiva, Descartes é considerado o pai do racionalismo ocidental, o pensador que teria colocado o cogito no centro da representação. A este respeito, analisar criticamente a leitura nietzschiana não significa só questionar a validade da sua interpretação, mas pôr em causa os mesmos cânones da modernidade filosófica.

Les considérations du philosophe allemand sont presque toujours critiques et reprennent, même si avec un diffèrent jugement de valeur, l’interprétation de la pensée cartésienne fournie par la tradition idéaliste. Dans cette perspective, Descartes est considéré comme le père du rationalisme occidental, à savoir, le penseur qui aurait placé le cogito au centre de la représentation. À cet égard, analyser de façon critique l’approche de Nietzsche n’implique pas seulement mettre en question la validité de son interprétation, mais aussi remettre en cause les canons de la modernité philosophique.

Friedrich Nietzsche e the criticism of Cartesian subjectivity

 Abstract: Descartes’ name appears several times in Nietzsche’s published works and in his posthumous fragments. The considerations of the German philosopher are almost always critical and resume, although with a different value of judgement, the interpretation of Cartesian thought provided by Idealistic tradition. In this perspective, Descartes is considered as the father of Western Rationalism, namely, the author that would place the cogito at the center of representation. In this regard, to critically analyzing Nietzschean approach toward Descartes it does not only imply to questioning the validity of his interpretation, but also to questioning the very same canons of philosophical modernity.

Keywords: Nietzsche; Descartes; Cogito; Modernity.

Goal: This study aims to review and classify the main methods of criteria weights definition.
Design / Methodology / Approach: From a systematized search were articles selected and analyzed, covering a timeline between 1949 and 2020.
Results: Fifty sex methods were identified and discussed. Most (49) are subjective, eleven are objectives and three are hybrids. Considering the aggregation procedure, 33 are compensatory and 23 are non-compensatory. Most of the methods are for a single decision maker and just eleven are multidecision makers. The main contributions are published on European Journal of Operational Research journal.
Limitations of the investigation: This work does not make a thorough technical analysis of the presented methods and it is not a notebook to indicate to researchers which method is the best for each type of situation. Some methods may not have been included.
Practical implications: The selection and the definition of criteria weight is a fundamental question in the Multicriteria Decision Aid (MDCA) approach. The MCDA has a wide application on operation and production management.  The diversity of published papers on this subject, the comprehension of its characteristics and applicability is a complex task for researchers and professionals who demand these techniques.
Originality / Value: This work contributes to identify the state of the art of the models applied to the weight of the criteria, as well as to identify its characteristics and functionality regarding MCDA modeling.
Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulations Study to Search Curcumin Analogue Compounds as Potential Inhibitor Against SARS-CoV-2: A Computational Approach
Authors: Frimayanti Neni , Zamri Adel , Eryanti Yum , Herfindo Noval , Azteria Veza
Published: April 2021

Coronavirus is a pandemic in the world. It requires researchers and scientists to work hard to find a vaccine or drug to inhibit the development of the coronavirus. Many drugs have been used, such as remdesivir, lopinavir, and chloroquine. However, how effective is the use of these drugs for inhibiting the coronavirus’s growth? There is no research has been done. Curcumin is now known as one of the compounds that have some biological activities, and it is also can potentially be used as a CoV-2 inhibitor. The computational study, i.e., molecular docking and molecular dynamic, can help researchers to predict which compounds have the potential as an inhibitor against the CoV-2 coronavirus. In this study, lopinavir was used as a positive control. Lopinavir and 45 curcumin analog compounds were docked against the main protease protein with 6LU7 PDB ID. Based on the docking results, it was discovered that compound 1, compound 2, and compound 4 have the same binding orientation as lopinavir. Molecular dynamic simulation with the lowest binding free energy conformation was used to check these compounds’ stability. Only compound 4 was maintained to observe hydrogen bonding with Lys5 and Lys137 with a distance of 2.9 Å. The distance of hydrogen bonds and binding free energy over simulation time is essential to elucidate the potential compound’s affinity. For then, compound 4 can be used as a potential inhibitor against the CoV-2 coronavirus.
Performance of HDTMA-Br-Modified Indonesian Zeolite as a Drug Carrier Candidate for Diclofenac Sodium
Authors: Naimah Khafidhotun , Harjono Harjono , Jumaeri Jumaeri , Kadarwati Sri
Published: April 2021

Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with a relatively short release time. This short release time promotes a more frequent drug consumption and could lead to side effects in the stomach, e.g., gastrointestinal disorders, gastrointestinal bleeding, and gastric ulcers. A drug delivery system with a slow-release activity is one of the promising technologies to control the drug amount released to the stomach. A surfactant-modified natural zeolite as a carrier for diclofenac sodium has been used in this study. This study focused on the preparation, characterization, and slow-release performance of HDTMA-modified natural zeolite as a carrier for diclofenac sodium. The zeolite underwent chemical and physical activation, as well as milling prior to use. It was proven that the zeolite used was dominated by mordenite and clinoptilolite with high stability properties towards acid treatments, as indicated by the XRD patterns. A modification of the zeolite surface using HDTMABr was also successfully performed, indicated by the appearance of peaks at wavenumbers of 2923.05 cm-1 and 2853.39 cm-1 (symmetrical and asymmetrical CH2 strains of HDTMA molecules, respectively) in the FTIR spectra. The synthesized HDTMA-modified natural zeolite also showed an excellent surface property such as surface area, pore-volume, and size, as indicated by the BET-BJH isotherms on the nitrogen adsorption. The slow-release performance of the zeolite-based drug delivery system was studied by investigating the adsorption-desorption behavior of HDTMA-modified zeolite towards diclofenac sodium. The HDTMA-modified zeolite adsorbed the diclofenac sodium of 54.01% at a pH of 7.5, the contact time of 60 min, and the initial concentration of 100 ppm. The adsorbed diclofenac sodium of 73.95% could be released from the HDTMA-modified adsorbent for 8 h, mimicking the time length of drug metabolism in the human body.
W świecie kolorowej (anty)utopii. O animowanych cyborgach w Kongresie Ariego Folmana
Authors: Woroch Adrianna
Published: April 2021

The article focuses on pointing out the functions of using animation technique and elements of the science fiction genre in Ari Folman’s The Congress from 2013. The film, which is loosely based on the short story The Futurological Congress by Stanisław Lem, balances on the edge of various genres, using the techniques of both live action film and computer animation. Folman proposes a glamorous, colorful vision of an (anti)utopian future, in which pharmacologically-modified cyborg-people participate in a collective hallucination, which is an alternative reality to the post-apocalyptic real world. The director makes several significant changes to the original, thanks to which he introduces a universal message and asks questions which seem far more relevant in the context of both contemporary culture and the environmental crisis that can no longer be ignored (although the issue of an impending natural disaster was also important in Lem’s works).
Of bees, birds, trees, and women: iconography, superstition and victimization of female characters in Yugoslav New Film
Authors: Vuković Vesi
Published: April 2021

This study investigates how the directors of two selected case study films criticise the real-life remnants of patriarchy in the family sphere, in nominally gender-equal Yugoslavia. I argue that they do this by transposing their stories from socialist Yugoslavia to the pre-socialist times: during Ottoman rule and monarchist Yugoslavia. The selected period films Breza/The Birch Tree (Ante Babaja, 1967, Yugoslavia) and Roj/The Beehive aka The Swarm (Miodrag ‘Mića’ Popović, 1966, Yugoslavia), both belonging to the Yugoslav novi film (New Film) movement (1961-1972), refract the workings of the vestiges of patriarchy in a family domain of Yugoslav socialist society. In these two costume dramas, patriarchy is portrayed to its fullest extent, due to their stories being set in the past, ostensibly unrelated to contemporary Yugoslav society and thus uninhibited by the drive to cater to the official discourse of female emancipation.

Applying a critical film feminist perspective, by formal analysis via close readings of these two selected films, this article examines the iconography linked to fictional depictions of heroines and delves into the representation of victimisation of women. I investigate whether the depiction of the female sorceress(es) embody the primitiveness, ignorance, and/or poverty of economically disadvantaged and historically oppressed pre-socialist village. In order to peruse not only the individual portrayal of female protagonists but the dynamics of their interaction, the Bechdel test is applied and complemented with concepts such as the ‘reversed masquerade’ and ‘cryptomatriarchy’, which sheds light on the relationship between women and the presence or absence of female solidarity.
„Co choroba, to doktor...”. O językowo-kulturowym obrazie lekarza w polszczyźnie
Authors: Skorupska-Raczyńska Elżbieta
Published: April 2021

Healing traditions are very likely to have roots in the beginnings of any civilisation, which comes from the natural needs of a human striving for physical and mental comfort. On ethnically Polish lands, medical culture developed together with the society, which is reflected in the names of healers. The linguistic and cultural image of a doctor is affected by the anthropocentric experiences of speakers of Polish, stereotypes and the media that strengthen its versions, all recorded in the lexis, phraseology and paremiography. Today (according to the survey), negative traits of doctors (31) are significantly more common than their virtues (9) that include: being specific, accurate, efficient, devoted to duty and caring. According to the survey, today’s doctor is, most of all, in a hurry, overworked and tired, but also dissatisfied, uninterested in the patient, impatient, late, cold and always angry. People’s focus on doctors’ negative traits has been a permanent phenomenon for centuries.

Authors: Miclău Oana , Nagel Adrian
Published: April 2021

The aim of this research was to find out the opinion of managers of sport organizations that could offer a perspective regarding the design and implementation of a new social entity that gets involved in sport and sports industry.

Materials and methods: as a method we used a questionnaire with 16 closed-ended questions; in the case of 2 questions the respondents could fill out their own answers. The questions were related to the structure and management of sport organization and are centered on the fundamental concepts of management, human resources management, financial resources management and marketing. The research regarded the sport organizations in Timiș and Arad Counties. 25 managers from Timiș County and 23 from Arad County responded to the questionnaire.

Results: By analyzing the answers given to the questions we were able to form clear opinions regarding choices for the future of private, public or state sport organizations. The answers to our questionnaire made possible the comparison between the managing opinions in sport organizations from Timiș and Arad counties. Therefore, we were able to observe their tendencies and their offer towards initiation or towards performance in different sport branches for children, and towards the maintenance, therapy and rehabilitation for adults.

Conclusions: following our analysis of the questions regarding fundamental characteristics of sport organizations’ management, human resources management, financial resources management and marketing, we observed that there are major differences between the visions of different managers of sport organizations in Timiș and Arad Counties.
Presentation of Predictive Models for Two-objective Optimization of Moisture and Fatigue Damages Caused by Deicers in Asphalt Mixtures
Authors: Moghaddam Gilani Vahid Najafi , Hosseinian Seyed Mohsen , Hamedi Gholam Hossein , Safari Daniel
Published: April 2021

The best way to deal with the freezing of the road surfaces is to use deicers, especially in cold areas. The presence of moisture causes various stresses in the pavement and reduces the strength of mixtures. Using anti-stripping agents can decrease the moisture sensitivity of asphalt mixtures. Researchers have evaluated the impact of different deicers on the moisture sensitivity of asphalt mixtures. However, fewer studies have been conducted on the effect of these materials on fatigue failure and thermodynamic parameters of asphalt mixtures. Moreover, fewer studies have been performed to find the exact optimum amount of additives for maximizing the two objectives of tensile strength ratio (TSR) and fatigue life ratio (NFR) concurrently in moisture and fatigue damages. So in this research, the moisture sensitivity and fatigue failure of asphalt mixtures under the influence of different deicers, including calcium magnesium acetate (CMA), potassium acetate (PA), and sodium chloride (NaCl), were investigated using nanohydrated lime (NHL) as an anti-stripping agent. The surface free energy (SFE) of materials and the permeability of asphalt mixtures were examined, and a boiling water test was applied. Finally, the prediction models of multivariate regression (MVR), group method of data handling (GMDH), and genetic programming (GP) were provided to obtain optimum additive percentage with two objectives of TSR and NFR. The results showed that GP had a higher R-value than the 2 other methods such that the R-value of GP for TSR and NFR was 98.8 % and 99.8 %, respectively. The optimization results showed that 1.17 %, 1.34 %, 0.87 %, 1.21 %, and 1.06 % NHL, respectively, were the best optimum values to maximize the TSR and NFR simultaneously in all samples and samples saturated in water, CMA, NaCl, and PA solutions.

Long-standing theories of borderline personality disorder (BPD) suggest that symptoms develop at least in part from childhood adversity. Emotion dysregulation may meaningfully mediate these effects. The current study examined three factors related to emotion dysregulation—alexithymia, affective lability, and impulsivity—as potential mediators of the relation between childhood adversity and BPD diagnosis in 101 individuals with BPD and 95 healthy controls. Path analysis compared three distinct models informed by the literature. Results supported a complex mediation model wherein (a) alexithymia partially mediated the relation of childhood adversity to affective lability and impulsivity; (b) affective lability mediated the relation of childhood adversity to BPD diagnosis; and (c) affective lability and impulsivity mediated the relation of alexithymia to BPD diagnosis. Findings suggest that affective lability and alexithymia are key to understanding the relationship between childhood adversity and BPD. Interventions specifically targeting affective lability, impulsivity, and alexithymia may be particularly useful for this population.

Published: April 2021

Epigenetics is the study of modifications to gene expression without an alteration to the DNA sequence. Currently there is limited translation of epigenetics to the counseling profession. The purpose of this article is to inform counseling practitioners and counselor educators about the potential role epigenetics plays in mental health. Current mental health epigenetic research supports that adverse psychosocial experiences are associated with mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and addiction. There are also positive epigenetic associations with counseling interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, diet, and exercise. These mental health epigenetic findings have implications for the counseling profession such as engaging in early life span health prevention and wellness, attending to micro and macro environmental influences during assessment and treatment, collaborating with other health professionals in epigenetic research, and incorporating epigenetic findings into counselor education curricula that meet the standards of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).

Geografías vecinales más allá del barrio. Nou Barris (Barcelona) y Las Américas (Talca, Chile)
Authors: Letelier Troncoso Luis Francisco
Published: April 2021

En el marco de la agenda neoliberal y sus políticas de re escalamiento, la concepción neo ecológica de barrio fue asumida en los años 1980 por diversos gobiernos de América y Europa. Desde ahí se ha venido consolidando como concepción hegemónica de lo vecinal. Este artículo sostiene, sin embargo, que el barrio es solo una de las posibles formas de estructurar las relaciones locales urbanas. A partir de una comprensión relacional de la esfera vecinal, asumimos que esta puede producir distintas estructuras reticulares en un momento y un espacio determinados. Estas ‘geografías vecinales’ producirán a su vez diversas formas de territorialidad. Desde esta perspectiva, se revisan dos casos, uno en Chile y uno en España. En ellos las relaciones vecinales traspasan los límites que le impone la noción de barrio y escalan tejiendo geografías de relaciones más complejas y territorialidades con mayor poder para incidir en la urbano. Concluimos que una geografía vecinal más compleja, que articula diversas escalas, hace que los actores sociales tengan mayor capacidad para incidir en la gobernanza urbana.

Numerosos trabajos evidencian las consecuencias negativas de la segregación a gran escala para los hogares de bajos ingresos. Sin embargo, tanto las transformaciones territoriales en la periferia de las ciudades latinoamericanas, asociadas al desarrollo de barrios cerrados de ingresos medios y altos, como el surgimiento de nuevas formas de urbanización en zonas de expansión urbana, generan una diversificación de las formas de segregación que experimentan los hogares de sectores populares. Este artículo presenta una investigación con métodos mixtos para tres ciudades chilenas y sus extra-radios, cuyo objetivo fue comparar la experiencia de segregación de hogares que residen en vivienda social en la periferia popular y compacta, con la de hogares que habitan en vivienda social en zonas de expansión urbana. Los hallazgos confirman diferencias de acceso a equipamiento y servicios en lo local, percepción de seguridad e identidades territoriales. Puesto que la segregación se vive de forma diferente en estas distintas situaciones urbanas, tanto en términos objetivos o materiales, como en términos simbólicos y de estigma territorial, es más apropiado hablar de segregaciones e identidades territoriales múltiples.
¿Es posible vivir juntos? Conflictos por la vivienda en el Gran Santiago

Published: April 2021

A partir de casos de estudio situados en Las Condes y Peñalolén, ambos municipios del Gran Santiago, se propone un examen de los conflictos que gatilla la integración a través de instrumentos subsidiarios impulsados por el Estado en el marco de nuevas orientaciones políticas para la integración social y territorial. La propuesta teórica se enmarca en tres ejes: la crisis del vínculo social, el principio del reconocimiento y los conflictos en torno al fenómeno NIMBY. Los casos de estudio contemplan distintas etapas para estos conflictos, lo que permite entregar como consideraciones finales un ensayo de clasificación, para avanzar en su estudio y contribuir en el futuro en una política aún novedosa en el contexto chileno.
Construcción de asentamientos y comunidad en Buenos Aires. El caso de Los Hornos, Moreno, 2003 a 2015
Authors: Dombroski Lucas Jordán
Published: April 2021

Los “asentamientos” o “tomas de tierra” en el Gran Buenos Aires fueron objeto de estudios y debate en los últimos años, muchas discusiones giran en torno a las características de las áreas ocupadas, sus formas espaciales y quienes intervienen desde diferentes lugares en el proceso. No obstante, algunas relaciones entre esas especificidades fueron poco exploradas. En ese contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo es dar  cuenta de las articulaciones multiactorales y el espacio construido en el proceso de extensión de estos asentamientos, a los fines de poner en consideración los territorios de los que se trata en cuanto a sociabilidad y construcción de comunidad. Para esto se recurrió a diferentes textos, cartografías entrevistas semi-estructuradas y otras fuentes primarias. Desde ese lugar se muestra como los entramados de actores construyen los espacios de socialización de manera diferente según las estrategias que despliegan, y su relación con la conformación de comunidad.
Route of chronic kidney patients foreigners in the search for health care in a border area

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT Objectives: to describe the journey of foreigners with chronic kidney diseases searching for treatment in the Brazilian Unified Health System in a border area. Methods: this is a qualitative research conducted with thirteen foreign participants. Data were collected by interviews and analyzed based on the theoretical-methodological framework of the therapeutic itinerary. Results: empirical evidence showed seven thematic categories, indicating poor illness perception; poor family support throughout treatment; social aspects such as work, income, and housing as sources of distress; search for alternative treatments; interrupted search for healthcare abroad due to financial problems; journey to healthcare-seeking in Brazil eased by family members and social networks. Final considerations: the asymmetries within the Paraguayan and Brazilian health systems spur the search for cross-border integration actions. Identifying another country’s assistance aspects may help in planning more welcoming policies in border regions.

Abstract Accurate spatio-temporal estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) and surface energy fluxes is crucial for many agro-environmental applications, including the determination of water balance, irrigation scheduling, agro-ecological zoning, simulation of global changes in land use and forecasting crop yields. Remote sensing based energy balance models are presently most suitable for estimating ET at both temporal and spatial scales. This study presents an intercomparison of ET maps over the Habra plain in western Algeria obtained with two different models: Ts/VI trapezoid (Surface temperature/Vegetation Index Trapezoid Model) and SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land). Ts/VI trapezoid is the most used model, due to its simplicity, ease of use, few data input requirements and relatively high accuracy. It allows estimating ET directly by using the Priestley-Taylor equation. Whereas SEBAL allows estimating ET as the residual term of the energy balance equation, by using a rather complex hot and cold pixel based contextual approach to internally calibrate sensible heat flux through an iterative approach. The data set consists of four Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS images acquired on 2018-2019 and some ground measurements. In conclusion, the results show that SEBAL and Ts/VI trapezoid models provide comparable outputs and suggest that both the two models are suitable approaches for ET mapping over agricultural areas where ground measurements are scarce or difficult to collect.

Resumo Introdução A avaliação do SINASC é essencial para verificar sua utilidade relacionada à pesquisa científica e às políticas de saúde. Objetivo Revisar a literatura publicada entre 2010 e 2018 sobre a qualidade dos dados do SINASC. Método Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre estudos que avaliaram o SINASC utilizando indicadores de qualidade (completitude, confiabilidade, cobertura). Resultados Nos estudos revisados, o número de filhos mortos, a ocupação materna, a idade gestacional e a raça/cor foram as variáveis com maiores frequências de incompletude. Com baixa concordância, destacaram-se a escolaridade materna, a idade gestacional, o número de consultas de pré-natal e o número de filhos mortos. Na cobertura, foi possível sistematizar o sub-registro dos nascimentos nos estudos de âmbito municipal/estadual. Conclusão Destaca-se que: i. a cobertura do SINASC não está distribuída de forma homogênea nas microrregiões e municípios brasileiros, ii. as informações sobre o número de filhos mortos e a idade gestacional apresentam baixa qualidade de preenchimento no SINASC.

ABSTRACT Purpose: The study aimed to identify the effects of the Car Wash Operation on the Brazilian capital market, focusing on the state-owned company Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), including in the analysis other publicly traded companies that belong to the oil and gas sector. Originality/value: This research is relevant because it advances in discussing the influence of the Car Wash Operation on the stock price in the Brazilian context. This study contributes to revealing the use of the Google Trends tool to measure market attention and its effects. Design/methodology/approach: This is a quantitative research based on evidence of the volume of research in relation to the movement of the stock prices. The sample consisted of data from Petrobras and other companies belonging to the oil and gas sector in the period from January 2, 2013, to December 28, 2018. The most relevant dates were defined through the search volume index for the terms “Car Wash” and “corruption”, obtained from the Google Trends tool. The GARCH model (1,1) was adopted in the estimates. Findings: The results obtained from the dummies inserted to capture the abnormal returns showed a significant reaction in the behaviors of the assets. The flow of capital seems to have opted for assets of greater confidence than PETR3 and PETR4 in a few weeks of the Operation. This work showed that, in general, the outbreak of the Car Wash Operation influenced and brought some instability to other companies in the sector.
