Published: August 2019

O consumo de drogas pelo ser humano é tão antigo quanto à história da humanidade, as quais eram e ainda são utilizadas para as mais diversas finalidades. Atualmente, o uso abusivo e indiscriminado de drogas lícitas e ilícitas constitui um grave problema de saúde pública. Nesse contexto, a cocaína e o seu derivado, o crack, representa um grande perigo às sociedades, uma vez que é a segunda droga ilícita mais consumida no mundo. Trata-se de uma droga psicoestimulante que atua no sistema dopaminérgico, por este motivo é capaz de trazer uma série de agravos a saúde do usuário, dentre eles distúrbios psicóticos e neuropsicológicos. Diante o exposto, o objetivo desse trabalho foi buscar o que a literatura científica contemporânea apresenta sobre a interrelação do uso de cocaína e crack com distúrbios psicóticos ou neuropsicológicos. Diversos são os estudos que vinculam o uso dessas drogas ao referidos agravos à saúde mental. Por fim, embora a relação entre o uso de cocaína e o estabelecimento de eventos ligados a psicoses e neuropsicológicos esteja bem estabelecido entre a comunidade científica, os estudos epidemiológicos sobre essa relação ainda são escassos no Brasil.
THE SOCIAL NETWORK OF URBAN AGRICULTURE
Authors: Mpigi Gbenekamu , Wizor Collins
Published: August 2019

This paper addresses issues that affect poor urban households in the global south and uses Port Harcourt City Nigeria as its case study. It identified that poverty reduction strategies in Nigeria has always been top-down and generalised. Policy makers and planners have never considered differentiating urban from rural poverty and therefore, the contributions of urban agriculture has not been really appreciated.

This paper reviewed urban agriculture from three developmental phases in Nigeria and suggested that to understand what it is and what it does, it should be city specific when defining it. it suggested that this should be done in regards to the features of urban agriculture and in relation to the city's economy. This is because what prompt someone to engage with urban agriculture in London is different from the motivation of those in Port Harcourt City.

The paper concluded that three social relations are important in understanding why people engage with urban agriculture in the global south. They are gender, birth right and social network.

Abstract

Introduction:
This study raised the following problem: How reliable and relevant is the Inclusion for Children and Adolescents Questionnaire
(ICAQ) to measure the attitudes
of children and adolescents with cochlear
implants (CIs) or hearing aids (HAs) to inclusive education (IE) in
public schools in the Canary Islands (i.e.
provinces of Gran Canaria and Tenerife)?

Method:
The sample consisted of 297 students from the province of Gran Canaria, and 137
students from the province of Tenerife with an average of 11 years old. An
exploratory factor analysis (EFA) determined the reliability and relevance of ICAQ.

Results:
The authors found four factors of students’ attitudes towards IE: Family involvement and use of technology, Inclusion
in the centre, Communication with medical specialists and Assessment of the support technology.

Conclusions:
There were significant differences between the students with CIs and HAs in the
following factors: Inclusion in the centre
and Assessment of the support technology.
The total score of students’ attitudes towards IE was high. The factor Inclusion in the centre had the most
favourable total score of students’ original attitudes towards IE. Communication with medical specialists was
the lowest total attitude score towards IE for students with CIs.
US Egg Production Data Set
Authors: Mendez Samara
Published: August 2019

Tracking the capability of the egg production industry to supply the food industry with enough cage-free eggs to meet retailers' and restaurants' animal welfare commitments is important to industry groups and farm animal advocacy organizations alike. In this project, we synthesize an analysis-ready data set that tracks the supply of cage-free eggs relative to the overall supply of table eggs in the United States. The data set is based on United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports published monthly from September 2016 to present, with auxiliary annual data from December 2007 to December 2015. The data set will be updated monthly as new USDA reports are released. We supplement these data with definitions and a taxonomy of egg products drawn from USDA and industry publications. The data include flock size and egg production of cage-free hens as well as all table egg laying hens in the US, collected to understand the impact of the industry's cage-free transition on hens. Initial analysis of egg production trends shows that, at the time of publication of this report, 20.3% of all table egg layers lived in cage-free systems. This figure represents an increase of 10.2 percentage points between August 2016 to June 2019, with an increase of 17.1 percentage points over the entire sample period of 2007 to June 2019.

Botnets are collection of compromised computers, which are very different from the traditional malwares; and can be controlled by the Botmasters remotely. Black hat hackers use Botnets for various kinds of attacks, ranging from Distributive Denial of Services to identity theft using phishing by sending spam emails all over the internet. These are done mainly to get attention, money, and show off their ego, causing financial loss to the naive users. Botnets are hard to detectsince they remain hidden in the system, and only works when are instructed by the Botmaster. Botnets spread very rapidly, taking total control of the computer, without user’s consent and knowledge. Botnets are evolving daily. It has become necessary to effectively research in this field to minimize financial loss and use botnet in a good way.

Temporal discounting does not influence Body Mass Index
Authors: Veillard Megan L. , Vincent Benjamin Thomas
Published: August 2019

The prevalence of obesity has driven searches for cognitive or behavioural economic factors related to Body Mass Index (BMI). One compelling candidate is delay discounting: those who prefer smaller sooner rewards over larger but later rewards are hypothesised to have higher BMI. The findings in the literature are mixed however, with meta analyses suggesting only a very small correlation between discounting and BMI. Here we present novel empirical data (N=381) and Bayesian analyses which suggest no such relationship between discounting of either monetary or weight loss rewards and BMI. We also find evidence against our novel proposal that discounting moderates the rate of BMI gain over time. We also present our data in the context of a random effects Bayesian meta-analytical result which does suggest the presence of a small correlation overall. The strength of the correlation is so weak (2.25% shared variance) that its practical significance may be minor to non existent. However because we found decisive evidence for unaccounted for study-level variance, due to study heterogeneity, we argue that we should treat such meta-analytic correlations with extreme caution. While the relationship between discounting and health outcomes such as BMI remain theoretically appealing, our empirical and meta-analytic results suggest we should be cautious in inferring a correlational, let alone a causal, role for discounting processes in driving BMI or moderating BMI gain with age.

Authors: Christian Yefta
Published: August 2019

The growth of online stores nowadays is very rapid. This is supported by faster and better internet infrastructure. The increasing growth of online stores makes the competition more difficult in this business field. It is necessary for online stores to have a website or an application that is able to measure and classify consumersâ€™ spending intentions, so that the consumers will have eyes on things on the sites and applications to make purchases eventually. Classification of online shoppersâ€™ intentions can be done by using several algorithms, such as NaÃ¯ve Bayes, Multi-Layer Perceptron, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and J48 Decision Trees. In this case, the comparison of algorithms is done with two tools, WEKA and Sci-Kit Learn by comparing the values of F1-Score, accuracy, Kappa Statistic and mean absolute error. There is a difference between the test results using WEKA and Sci-Kit Learn on the Support Vector Machine algorithm. Based on this research, the Random Forest algorithm is the most appropriate algorithm to be used as an algorithm for classifying online shoppersâ€™ intentions.

Authors: Azmi Fadhillah , William William , Salim Kevin Kristanto , Hartanto Tommy Tiara , Tham Felix
Published: August 2019

Smart trash cans use a proximity sensor (ultrasonic) to detect the height of the trash, the PIR (Passive Infra Red) sensor to detect human presence and Arduino as the data processing center. This trash can also has an LED that functions as an indicator and the buzzer functions as an alarm when the trash can is full. If the garbage reaches half of the trash, the LED will turn yellow, if the garbage reaches a height of 4cm from the trash lid, then the LED will turn red and so the trash can will be locked even though the PIR sensor detects humans. Buzzer will live to attract the attention of cleaning officers to dispose of trash. To dispose of garbage, the clerk needs to shift the open and close trash button so that the lid will open. The author hopes that this smart trash can can increase public awareness to dispose of garbage in its place. The results of study show that PIR sensors work by well in detecting the presence of humans and ultrasonic sensors in detecting the height of garbage are not accurate, so that if the trash if the trash can is empty, sometimes the garbage is minus, whereasif the garbage is < 3.5 cm, the sensor fails detect it.

ABSTRACT

 

Learning that is more emphasized on procedures and results in solving problems will not activate the cognitive structure (thinking) of students and does not improve the ability to mathematical thinking. Students will only imitate the procedures performed by the teacher. This research is a case study of mathematics learning in the fourth grade of elementary school in integer division material. The research objective is to describe the cognitive structure of students in solving problems. The study uses a combination method (qualitative - quantitative) with concurrent embedded design. The data collection technique is done in triangulation, namely participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results showed that the cognitive structure of class IV students reached the level of comparative cognitive structure (group A) and cognitive structure of logical reasoning (group B). Students use cognitive structures to process information and create meaning by (1) making connections, (2) finding patterns, (3) identifying rules, and (4) abstracting principles

In the next decade, according the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we are going to see increasing climatic events with compounding and unprecedented economic, social, and political impacts which will affect livelihoods and ways of life. To borrow Margaret Atwood’s declaration, we are no longer talking about climate change, we are facing “ everything change” including how we practise as artists in various institutional contexts at home and abroad. It is plausible that in our lifetime we will see our venues, galleries, studios, audiences, and other platforms where we create, tour, and present affected. Therefore, we are in a critical time as practitioners to reconsider our capacities and voices, how we untether from our ways of conventionally working within and across institutional structures, and how we can adapt to the challenges ahead. This autobiographical essay reflects on my own pluralities of experiences for leaving Canada and rationale for staying abroad; and how through my practice a decade later, I am considering what returning might mean. My approach is to situate this reflection within a provocation that is speculative around being a practitioner in the future and how working across borders, disciplines, and orientations can prepare one to be adaptive and responsive in the turbulent times ahead.
From Somewhere in the World, with Love
Authors: Kane Thalia Gonzalez
Published: August 2019

In the form of a poem, Thalia Gonzalez Kane explores how nationality plays a part in our identities and how that affects us, looking at who we choose to be and how we choose to identify. The focus of this poem is the journey of a dual-citizen of Canada and Ecuador who has lived in a variety of places and finds difficulty in answering the not-so-simple question, “Where are you from?” It identifies the benefits of travel, the importance of sharing what one learns, and figuring out what makes a place “home”. The differences between “growing up” and “growing” are also identified and pursued, seeking out how these manifest in our identity to ourselves, and those around us.

SINK
Authors: Hennessy Keith
Published: August 2019

SINK is an intimate solo of rants, dance, and chants by Keith Hennessy. SINK’s approach to current politics waivers between punk and contemplative, transformative and fucked. Loneliness, a lifejacket, a white man, a shadow dance, a long angry sad song, and love, suspended. The performance is an embodied response to the current political, economic, and social shifts that have produced not only Trump and Brexit, Erdogan and Duterte, but also the massive refugee crises all over the world, the bombing of a Sufi mosque in Sinai, the repeated killing of journalists in Mexico, increased visibility of the neo-fascist right in the US and abroad, and the mass shootings in Charleston, Parkland, and Las Vegas. Yes, it’s too much. Almost everything. SINK features poetic texts, contemplative dances, dark satire, plaintive chanting, re-processed nazi music, and an aerial dance. The performance is an intimate and confrontational portrait of the current era through the embodied perspective of a middle aged, white, gay male artist.
The Doing That Can Undo: Decolonizing the Performer-Audience Relationship in Lisa Cooke Ravensbergen’sCitation
Authors: Marshall Mariel , Ravensbergen Lisa Cooke
Published: August 2019

Mariel Marshall talks with Lisa Cooke Ravensbergen about her work Citation, which uses listening, reciprocal action, and adoption of responsibility by the audience as a tool for decolonizing the performer-audience relationship. Ravensbergen notes, “ Citation could be my way of allowing for a story to not just be a story but a sharing. To be ceremony grounded in the fact that Indigenous bodies owe settler bodies nothing.”

An Acquaintance with Religion: Pluralizing Knowledge in Gertrude Stein’sDoctor Faustus Lights the Lights
Authors: Kastleman Rebecca
Published: August 2019

This article explores the central role of religion in Gertrude Stein’s 1938 libretto, Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights. Relative to other modern Faust plays, Stein emphasizes the religious character of pre-modern life, demonstrating how it is entangled with gendered ways of existing and moving in space. I argue that Stein extends modern investigations of Faustus’s pursuit of knowledge by harnessing the pragmatic philosophy of William James, who makes a crucial distinction between knowledge of acquaintance and “knowledge-about.” Examining the Faust narrative through these epistemological categories, Stein finds that Faust’s failures arise from an excessively narrow understanding of the knowledge that he seeks. Stein’s Doctor Faustus, then, recuperates a broader range of embodied and sensory understandings for modernity. The article thus suggests that representations of religion played a larger role in dramatic modernism than has been previously acknowledged or understood.
An Aching House: Domestic Representations of Coloniality in M. NourbeSe Philip’s Coups and Calypsos
Authors: MacDonald Geoffrey
Published: August 2019

M. NourbeSe Philip’s Coups and Calypsos foregrounds a relationship between an Afro-Caribbean woman and an Indo- Caribbean man in a way that shifts the theatrical gaze away from European imperialism and toward a dialogue about coloniality within and across racialized communities. I argue that Philip explores the Trinbagonian home as a site of the connection between larger liberation struggles and romantic tensions. Personal lives are always informed by historical, political, and social structures, yet so-called domestic dramas are often criticized for ignoring national and global themes. I challenge that criticism in order to demonstrate how Philip’s script offers a simultaneously moving and politically relevant story from a unique and under-scrutinized perspective.
“We Are a Musical Nation”:Under Milk Woodand the BBC Third Programme
Authors: Epstein Josh
Published: August 2019

This essay examines Dylan Thomas’s 1954 play Under Milk Wood in the context of the BBC Third Programme, the “high culture” station founded in the hopes that difficult art might improve public sentiment and intellectual health. Through the artworks themselves and through its flexible scheduling and strategic use of dead air, the Third Programme promoted “alert and perceptive listening,” a niche for aesthetic reflection independent of the marketplace, building on the cultural evangelism of the BBC’s founding Director General, John Reith. Thomas’s play ironizes these aims, using the sonic textures of language, the temporal structures of ritual, and a deconstructed anthropological gaze to supplant the Third Programme’s Arnoldian ideal of rational disinterestedness. Depicting an isolated Welsh village, Under Milk Wood implicitly critiques the horrors of war while declining to endorse the BBC’s sanctimonious promises of cultural uplift; rather, it produces an ironic, negative image of fascism’s self-defeating obsessions with civic uniformity and public health. Though Under Milk Wood promotes aesthetic reflection and aural empathy – akin to what Kate Lacey has referred to as “listening out” – Thomas reimagines these public values, not in the sense promoted by Matthew Arnold or Reith but in relation to the erotic, embodied rhythms of language and ritual. Under Milk Wood “remakes” time, in an ironic reflection of the Third Programme’s flexible scheduling, unsettling the condescension implicit in the play’s own radiophonic framing voices and demonstrating how broadcast media participate in the ritual construction of time’s passage.

Stephanie Nohelani Teves. Defiant Indigeneity: The Politics of Hawaiian Performance.
Authors: Overman-Tsai Stefani
Published: August 2019

Defiant Indigeneity is a compelling illumination of contemporary performances that defy and resist settler-colonial politics and their appropriation of aloha as a performance of acquiescence. Through her analysis of Native Hawaiian performances, Teves points out new ways of identifying Indigenous identity as fully present and critical of limiting epistemologies.
Hegel and the Origins of Art
Authors: Erickson Peter
Published: August 2019

Considerable critical attention has been devoted over the past several decades to Hegel’s pronouncement of the end of art. But Hegel was equally interested in the problem of its beginning: How did art first come about, both historically and conceptually? What significance does this origin have for debates over its future? Although today we are accustomed to thinking of cave paintings when we think of the earliest instantiations of art, in the eighteenth century many writers and intellectuals thought instead of architecture. In his lectures Hegel provides an account of the origin of architecture (and art) that can best be understood in contrast to conventional Enlightenment accounts of this origin in the state of nature.
Hans Henny Jahnn’s New Masculine Ideal: Perrudja as Critique of Hegemonic Masculinity
Authors: Roddy Harry Louis
Published: August 2019

This essay examines the critique of what R. W. Connell terms “hegemonic masculinity” posed by Hans Henny Jahnn’s unfinished masterpiece Perrudja (1929). I argue that Jahnn carries this critique out through both the weak and decidedly antimasculine body of his eponymous hero, and the dialectic he establishes with Perrudja and his lover, Hein, whose hypermasculinity and body-reflexive practice create an avenue through which the protagonist experiences the agency of his own masculinity. Although scholars have explored psychoanalytic approaches to Perrudja, and examined the role played by trauma in Perrudja’s weakness, shame, and passivity (Kingerlee; Roddy), scholarship has not yet focused on the novel as an explicit critique of hegemonic masculinity. I argue that the inner contradiction created by Perrudja’s attempt to project a new masculine ideal on a postcapitalist utopia brought about by that paragon of hegemonic masculinity, war, left Jahnn unable to finish Perrudja.
Synthesis of La2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7 nanopowder using a simple chemical precipitation method and heat treatment at high temperature
Authors: Taleghani Pejman Rezaei , Valefi Zia , Ehsani Naser
Published: August 2019

La2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7 ultrafine powder was prepared via a precipitation process using ZrOCl2.8H2O, Ce(NO3)3.6H2O, and La2O3 precursors. The thermal behavior, phase structure, particle size, and morphology of the nanostructured precipitate and the calcined powders were investigated. The thermal analysis results of the nanostructured precipitate showed that pyrolysis occurs at 600 °C. The X-ray diffraction analysis results of the calcined powders indicated that submicrometer crystalline phases of lanthanum zirconate pyrochlore and lanthanum cerate fluorite with approximately 50 % amorphous were formed at 1 100 °C. The powders calcined at 900 °C were composed of semi-crystallized nanoparticles including crystalline phases of lanthanum zirconate and cerate. The semi-crystallized nano-particles can potentially be used as raw material of new nanostructured thermal barrier coatings.
