Religião e política: estudo sobre partidos “cristãos” no contexto paulistano de 2020
Authors: Barel Moisés Stefano
Published: January 2022

O artigo visa estudar o posicionamento estatutário de dois partidos políticos brasileiros que apresentam vínculos com o Cristianismo enquanto doutrina de fé e trazem este termo, ou derivações dele, incluídas em suas respectivas nomenclaturas registradas no Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), e analisar o desempenho eleitoral de cada uma dessas siglas na eleição parlamentar de 2020, com ênfase na disputa por cadeiras na Câmara dos Vereadores de São Paulo. Para realização do trabalho, foram usadas como técnicas de pesquisa revisão de bibliográfica e pesquisas virtuais, com o intuito de identificar se os partidos estudados conquistaram representatividade no legislativo municipal.
Mapeamento de campos institucionais para combate à desinformação: propostas de checagem, desmonetização, regulação e educação midiática
Authors: Paganotti Ivan
Published: January 2022

Em cenário de preocupação coletiva com a multiplicação de fake news em diferentes espaços, esta pesquisa questiona como diferentes instituições (de empresas ou organizações não-governamentais, agências de comunicação até candidatos e partidos políticos em campanhas eleitorais) se apropriam de estratégias de verificação de fatos, campanhas educativas de conscientização, pressão por boicote ou combate legal ao que é visto como “notícias falsas”. Para isso, é necessário comparar diferentes estratégias de intervenção (correções institucionais, alertas de checadores de fatos, iniciativas de educomunicação, pressão contra anunciantes e propostas legais de controle comunicacional) para municiar o público de habilidades e conhecimentos para evitar a desinformação. Procura-se identificar e classificar diferentes agentes (da comunicação institucional de assessorias de imprensa até o fact-checking de agências de notícias, passando pelo media literacy de iniciativas de educomunicação e interação e respostas de demandas de usuários em redes sociais) que procuram se destacar no debate coletivo com diferentes discursos de autoridade (do direito, do jornalismo, da educação e da comunicação institucional), avaliando também a reação do público de diferentes canais a esses conteúdos.
O Imaginário e a Semiótica na Construção do Feminino e do Masculino na Propaganda da Cerveja Skol
Authors: Bizan Kátia , Zanco Amanda
Published: January 2022

As diferenças entre homem e mulher sempre se condicionaram na sociedade por meio da cultura, que enalteceu o masculino como superior e que, mesmo com os avanços sociais, persistem até hoje. Este artigo pretende mostrar algumas mudanças das figuras masculina e feminina ocorridas nas propagandas da cerveja Skol até a campanha #Escutaasminas. Nesta é possível notar um maior respeito à mulher dentro de espaços considerados masculinos. As campanhas são analisadas semioticamente, pois como afirma Santaella (2001), a semiótica é uma ciência que investiga todas as linguagens possíveis, que reproduz um significado ou sentido.
Direitos humanos, opiniões voláteis, fake news: responsabilidade civil, social e ambiental
Authors: De Farias Luiz Alberto , Delbono Benedita de Fátima
Published: January 2022

O estudo das opiniões voláteis é de importância ímpar aos direitos humanos e às questões sociais contemporâneas. Essas opiniões vêm de modo veloz se transformando no ecossistema social. Em tempos considerados líquidos, a capacidade de informação que passa por superávit, pode ser uma grande armadilha aos que recebem fake news, aos que se tornam fake readers e aos que se especializam como fake writers. Essas opiniões viabilizam a construção da opinião pública, que conceitualmente é polêmica e se transforma de acordo com muitos fatores que estão em permanente disputa de sentidos. Os seus desdobramentos e efeitos serão estudados e avaliados pelo impacto que promovem gerando responsabilidade. Como breve estudo, para apontar os efeitos, trazemos a experiencia de Mariana e Brumadinho. Objetiva-se promover uma reflexão sobre os direitos humanos, a responsabilidade civil, social e ambiental diante das opiniões voláteis e das fake news.

Branquitude e religião: uma análise autoetnográfica sobre ser uma mulher branca no candomblé
Authors: Campanaro Priscila Kikuchi
Published: January 2022

A presente proposta desse artigo é fazer uma análise autoetnográfica sobre a percepção da identidade branca, e todas as suas implicações interseccionais no campo religioso, a partir da experiência pessoal da autora: uma mulher branca iniciada no candomblé, utilizando-se da metodologia da autoetnografia, com o objetivo de contribuir com os estudos sobre branquitude, religião e interseccionalidade, evidenciando as tensões da intersecção gênero, raça e religião na vivência religiosa. O intuito deste artigo, em hipótese alguma, não é reivindicar um suposto protagonismo de mulheres brancas nestes espaços religiosos, mas sim, discutir em que medida tais tensionamentos implicam em reflexões e atitudes práticas mediante o reconhecimento da identidade branca enquanto raça a partir da vivência no candomblé.

Percepções de educadores sobre vínculos afetivos com crianças em acolhimento institucional
Authors: Assunção André Isaac da Silva , Cruz Edson Junior Silva da , Cavalcante Lilia Ieda Chaves , Pedroso Janari Da Silva
Published: January 2022

Este trabalho analisou as percepções de 10 educadores de duas instituições de acolhimento infantil sobre vínculos afetivos com crianças, na faixa etária de dois a seis anos. A investigação qualitativa ocorreu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, composta por 10 questões discursivas. Os dados foram sistematizados a partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. O estudo demonstrou que as percepções dos educadores que foram analisadas divergiram sobremaneira em relação à impossibilidade da não criação de vínculos destes com as crianças e os prejuízos que esta ligação afetiva pode trazer para o trabalho desenvolvido na instituição, principalmente no momento em que se dá o retorno delas à convivência familiar. Concluiu-se que na percepção dos educadores esse processo de vinculação promove afeto, proximidade, afeição, zelo, angústia e sofrimento.

Published: January 2022

Os Estados costeiros e os Estados Sem Litoral contêm direitos e deveres em um determinado espaço no oceano, visto ser um ambiente cheio de recursos que contribuem no desenvolvimento das sociedades, bem como, o petróleo, o pré-sal, o ouro. Mediante essas descobertas, se fez necessário a constituição de leis que regulassem a utilização desses espaços de forma igualitária para todos os Estados, e essa regulamentação ficou conhecida como a Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre o Direito do Mar – CNUDM, estabelecendo faixas marítimas com jurisdição nacional, tais como, Mar Territorial, Zona Contígua, Zona Econômica Exclusiva (ZEE) e Plataforma Continental, cada uma das faixas marítimas contém respectivos direitos e deveres que todos os Estados Costeiros e os Estados sem Litoral signatário à Convenção devem respeitar. Na Plataforma Continental, o Estado brasileiro contém direitos de exploração e aproveitamento dos recursos existentes, porém esses direitos se limitam da costa que se estende em até 200 milhas marítimas mar adentro e para a ampliação jurídica da mesma, se faz necessário procedimentos a serem seguidos e aprovados por uma Comissão de Limite da Plataforma Continental (CLPC).

Knowledge management model for decision-making through ontologies for an employment and employability observatory
Authors: Méndez Beltrán David Alfonso , Prieto Suarez Duvan Humberto , Alvarado Nieto Luz Deicy
Published: January 2022

Introduction: This article is the product of the research "Knowledge management model for decision-making through ontologies for an employment and employability observatory" developed within the ComplexUD Research Group in the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas between 2018 and 2020.

Objective: The objective of this research is the construction of a knowledge management model using ontologies of the actors involved in the employability process.

Methodology: The construction of knowledge was carried out through the creation of ontologies, which describe the conceptual components of each actor that participates in employability, since their interaction forms the proposed model.

Conclusion: It is observed that representing the actors through ontologies allows the behavior among them to be modeled in a way that is very close to reality, however, it must be taken into account that the components that describe the actors can change over time, for what is necessary a periodic update of the model.

Originality: This document proposes original ideas regarding the definition and behavior of the actors identified in the development of the research, if the work of other authors is mentioned throughout the article, it is cited according to the norms established by its publication.

Authors: Varona Taborda María Alejandra
Published: January 2022

Introduction: This article is the result of a research process whose product was to generate a guide for Higher Education Institutions (in Spanish, IES) to adopt a Cybersecurity Model based on ISO standards (International Organization for Standardization).

Problem: IES do not have a cybersecurity model aligned to the ISO / IEC 27032: 2012 standard (International Organization for Standardization / International Electrotechnical Commission), which causes a lack of clarity and uncertainty in the level of maturity and low efficiency in processes and information security controls to be implemented.

Objective: Propose a dynamic model of cybersecurity based on ISO standards for IES.

Methodology: The development of this work was oriented under a line of applied research, by virtue of the fact that it was necessary to address the problem based on previous knowledge that allowed supporting the theoretical contributions and the activities proposed to determine the possible causes of the problem and give it a possible solution.

Results: The generation of this dynamic model allows it to be adapted to the different needs and requirements of IES.

Conclusion: IES can implement a cybersecurity model to prevent and protect information at the cyberspace level.

Originality: The work carried out generates a great contribution, which is the generation of a dynamic cybersecurity model, since at present there are no specific models for IES.

Limitations: The model implementation guide is established in a general way to be applied later to an organization in any sector.

Keywords: Dynamic Cybersecurity Model, Higher Education Institutions, ISO/IEC 27032: 2012, Security Standards.

Toward a Mediated Model of Physical Activity in Relation to Psychological Distress
Authors: Watt Tavis , Kehoe E. James
Published: January 2022

Leisure-time physical activity has well demonstrated benefits in mitigating symptoms of depression and, to a lesser extent, anxiety. A variety of theoretical mechanisms have been proposed as mediators of this linkage. There has been no reported attempt to develop a unified model of the relative contributions of the proposed mechanisms. To begin to fill this gap, 394 first-year university students were surveyed concerning their participation in physical activity (broadly defined), their level of depressive and anxiety symptoms as indexed by the Kessler 10, and four mediators identified as promising candidates in the literature: behavioral activation (sense of purpose and achievement), belonging (sense of social contact and inclusion), sense of flow (concentrated engagement in activity), and coaching relationship (formal or informal assistance from another person). Each of the candidate mechanisms individually mediated the relationship between physical activity and the K10 score. However, the scores for each of the mechanisms themselves were inter-correlated to a small or medium degree. When all scores were analysed as an integrated model, only behavioral activation and belonging were significant mediators. Once these two mediators had been accounted for, there was no additional direct effect of physical activity on both depression and anxiety. The next steps for refining and testing the model are discussed.
Safety and public order during the state of emergency in the Polish view
Authors: Pachnik Karol , Majchrzyk Marta
Published: January 2022

Securing public safety and order is the most important task of the state. In the event of a threat to the constitutional system of the state, the security of citizens or the public order, the President, at the motion of the Council of Ministers, may introduce a state of emergency for a definite period of time in a part or in the entire territory of the state. In the case of a state of emergency, which is introduced when the security of the state, the safety of citizens or the public order is threatened, the priority is to restore the proper functioning of state institutions and to prevent the specified danger. Only a reasonable use of statutory powers may result in not exceeding the justified level of restrictions of rights and freedoms, that will be acceptable in connection with the extraordinary situation caused by the circumstances that justified the imposition of a state of emergency.

Swimming pool at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw: history and present use for sport trainings
Authors: Krynicki Bartłomiej , Pawlikowska-Piechotka Anna
Published: January 2022

The swimming pool in the Palace of Youth in Warsaw was officially opened in April 1955, as a part of the Palace of Culture and Science erected in the style of socialist realism. At that time, it was (and still is) the only indoor swimming pool in the Mazovian Region, where diving is possible. It is also one of very few swimming pools in Poland where this sport discipline can be practised in the full range of competitions throughout the whole year. The lack of suitable facilities for diving is the result of many reasons: lack of funds for sports investments, high costs of implementation and maintenance, numerous very detailed safety requirements of the International Swimming Federation (FINA) for this discipline, which a swimming pool must meet. The Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw and its surroundings (the Parade Square) was enlisted in the register of historic architectural monuments and all modernization works had to take into account the very restrictive and detailed recommendations of the conservation programme that imposed keeping historical qualities of the pool’s architectural style. The aim of the article is to explore and present the relationships between history, tradition and modern requirements for swimming pools, and to answer the question if this object can meet the requirements of the FINA for training and sports events organisation.
Cyclists, dismount – car drivers, get out and push? An (auto)ethnographic account of long-distance commuting, joy, speed, and unexpected hurdles in Dutch traffic.
Authors: Sabelis Ida
Published: January 2022

The Netherlands are known for an exemplary cycle infrastructure: cycle paths all over the place, cycle traffic lights in abundance, and “cycle highways” emerging (Skov-Petersen et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2019; Cabral Dias and Gomes Ribeiro, 2020).* At the same time, the micro-managed infrastructure does not always cater to a variety of cycle styles, speeds, and distances. This does not automatically render the paradisiacal image of cycling in the Netherlands as an example for cycling elsewhere. What makes long-distance cycling so different and difficult in a country with so many cyclists? The title “cyclists dismount” symbolically illustrates the failed match of policy versus use(s): “cyclists dismount (and walk)” has no equivalent for car drivers and therewith represents a systematic priority for motorized users of public road space. This reversal is the impetus for an exploration of long-distance cycling as active mobility (AM) in order to contribute to the notion of long-distance cycling as a sustainable alternative to passive (motorized) mobility (PM).*The original title was ‘cyclists, descend’, the direct translation in Dutch. Apparently, in English, cycling language/discourse is heavily influenced by equestrian culture (with thanks to Peter Cox for pointing this out).
Adipofascial Turnover Forearm Flap for a Large Defect in Hand after Squamous Cell Tumor Extirpation. A Case Report
Authors:   Orthopedic and Hand Surgeon, Centro Médico Docente Los Altos, Av El Lago, Municipio Carrizal 1203, Miranda, Venezuela, D Miot Boncy
Published: January 2022

Squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer that is rare in the hand. The extirpation of this cancer can leave an important cutaneous defect in many cases. The cutaneous covering at the back of the hand is a challenge for any surgeon, especially when there are large skin defects with exposure of tendons, bones or neurovascular structures. Here, we describe a clinical case where an adipofascial turnover forearm flap and full thickness skin graft were performed, after the extensive extirpation of the well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma has been made.
Comparison of Anthropometric Equations and Dual X-ray Absorptiometry to Determine Body Composition in Active Breast Cancer Survivors

Published: January 2022

Objective The purpose of this study was to 1) compare the body composition values of an active group of breast cancer survivors (BCS) determined by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and anthropometry, and 2) compare the bone mineral density of the upper thoracic region to assess the effect of tumor burden on bone health. Design and Methods Forty (n=40) breast cancer survivors from a local competitive Dragon Boat Team were measured as part of team assessments. ANOVA with Dunn’s post-hoc testing was used to compare results of DXA, body density, and body composition estimated from anthropometry. Bland-Altman testing and correlational analysis were calculated. Results Percentage of fat measure by DXA was significantly higher than values used to estimate body fat from skinfold measures or from body density equations (DXA 41.1±6.0% vs. 3-site skinfolds 28.8±4.9%, 4-site skinfolds, 22.1±4.1%, skinfold and body density, 31.8±9.4%, respectively, p<0.05). Post-hoc testing revealed that all values were significantly different and the strongest correlation with DXA was skinfolds at three sites was r=0.81. Regional (upper thoracic) bone mineral density was not significantly different based on tumor side diagnosis (breast cancer diagnosis side versus healthy, 0.971±0.198 vs. 0.988±0.190 gm*cc-1). Anthropometry and bilateral bone mineral density characteristics are presented to serve as a comparative sample of BCS for future studies. Conclusion As body composition is an important factor in long-term cancer survivorship, we found the use of skinfold measures inadequate to accurately determine percentage of fat in this group of active female BCS. As a result, recommendations aimed at achieving an ideal body composition based solely on anthropometry would have grossly underestimated fat mass, which may lead to overall clinically poorer outcomes.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Attenuates Aortic Vasoconstriction after Simulated Microgravity in Rats

Box 19259, Arlington, TX 76019, USA
Published: January 2022

Background The hindlimb suspended (HLS) rat model has been used in land-based research to evaluate effects of simulated microgravity. Previous research demonstrated that 2-4 weeks of HLS reduced vasoconstrictive responses of aortic, mesenteric, and femoral arterial rings to phenylephrine (PHE) while acute exposure to hyperoxia amplified constrictive responses to PHE. The purpose of this study was to determine if hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) during HLS would reverse the attenuation of the vasoconstrictive response. Methods Five-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into aging controls (AC), AC-HBO, HLS, and HLS-HBO. Groups receiving HBO (AC-HBO; HLS-HBO) were placed in a cage that was fitted for the animal hyperbaric chamber to maintain HLS. HBO groups received 24 treatments, once a day, 6 d/week using a wound care protocol. The chamber was flushed with 100% oxygen, compressed over 10 min to 2.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) (22.5 psig), a 90-minute treatment, then a 10 min decompression. After 28 d of HLS, animals were sacrificed under isoflurane anesthesia and thoracic aorta segments isolated. Relaxation of aortic rings was measured in response to acetylcholine (ACh) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) after pre-constriction with PHE (3×10-7). Constriction of aortic rings was also determined in response to increasing concentrations of PHE. All drugs were administered cumulatively in vessel baths at 10-10-10-4 M. Data were analyzed using four-parameter (i.e., minimum, maximum, EC50, slope) nonlinear regression, and groups compared using 2×2 ANOVA with HBO and HLS as main effects. Results Responses to ACh and SNP were not affected by HLS or HBO. However, in response to PHE, there was a decrease in maximum vasoconstriction in HLS compared to controls (44.7±7.3% vs 82.4±6.0%, respectively, p≤0.05) and in HBO compared to controls (48.5±6.5% vs 78.6±6.8%, p≤0.05). Conclusion These results indicate that PHE-induced constriction of thoracic aorta is decreased after HLS. HBO did not reverse HLS-induced reductions in contractile responses; instead, HBO independently reduced PHE-stimulated constriction of aortic segments. This suggests that HBO may be useful in conditions where constriction is enhanced, such as diabetes.

The comparative analysis of catalytic properties of Group 11 elements in NOx reduction by hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen
Authors: Kruczyński Stanisław , Orliński Piotr , Ślęzak Marcin
Published: January 2022

NOx emission reduction in diesel engines can be achieved by using catalytic reactors reducing nitrogen oxides, including NH3-SCR and possibly also HC-SCR reactors. Reactors using ammonia achieve large conversion rates but cause a lot of operational problems. For this reason, the interest in reactors using hydrocarbons and their derivatives to reduce NOx has increased. Such reactors are the ones using metals from Group 11 (coinage metals) such as Cu, Ag and Au placed on an Al2O3-SiO2 carrier as active materials. The article characterizes the porosity and acidity of the carrier surface. Conversion of NO2, NO and propene as well as the formation of CO and N2O depending on the temperature at constant dosing of propene on a carrier covered with Cu, Ag and Au with a metal content of 4 g/dm3 were evaluated. The results of the tests showed that the tested Group 11 elements can be the basis for further experiments related to the development of this exhaust fumes cleaning technology for diesel engines.
A Proposed Model of Self-Perceived Authenticity of Social Media Influencers
Authors: Balaban Delia Cristina , Szambolics Julia
Published: January 2022

It is rather contradictory that there is a high demand for authenticity in today’s virtual space, where some platforms encourage the proliferation of idealized images, the products of digital alteration. Previous studies have examined how social media users perceive the authenticity and credibility of new digital celebrities—influencers—and the impacts on advertising outcomes. Authenticity in media communication has been defined in many ways, but most definitions include factors such as sincerity, trustworthiness, accuracy, originality, and spontaneity. Prior research on authenticity in computer-mediated communication emphasized the importance of three levels of authenticity, that of the source, of the message, and of the interaction. How social media influencers (SMIs) perceive their own authenticity is an understudied topic. SMIs are simultaneously perceived by their audiences as celebrities, experts, and consumers. Expanding their audiences is one of their goals. Being authentic at the beginning of one’s SMI career as a content creator might be simple, but it becomes much more challenging after one’s audience has grown significantly. Sponsorship can pose a challenge to an SMI’s authenticity. The present study aims to explore the role that authenticity plays for SMIs and develop a theoretical framework for understanding the self-perceived authenticity of SMIs. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with SMIs that have both national and international audiences (N = 20). Sincerity, expertise, uniqueness, commitment to values, mediated realness, visibility, communication style, spontaneity, transparent and creative brand endorsement, commitment to followers, and frequency of interaction are the components of the proposed model.
Beyond the “Trans Fact”? Trans Representation in the Teen Series Euphoria: Complexity, Recognition, and Comfort
Authors: Masanet Maria-Jose , Ventura Rafael , Ballesté Eduard
Published: January 2022

Recent anti‐LGBTQ+ discourse has increased the threat of violence against people who do not follow the cisheteronormative mandates. To face these dialectics, the media can offer alternative discourses, in particular by providing realistic and non‐stereotyped LGBTQ+ representations. Media portrayals can be seen as both positive and negative. On one hand, they may offer stereotypical and narrow representations, but on the other, they can include representations that can become aspirational models and improve visibility. The objective of this article is to explore this second perspective by analyzing the representation of Jules, a trans female character from the American series Euphoria (Levinson et al., 2019–present). To this end, we conducted a close reading analysis (Castelló, 2008) of the first season of the series. The results show three axes of representation that move away from the traditional portrayal of trans characters: (a) a narrative that moves beyond the “trans fact” and presents complex and plural stories, (b) a representation of the trans individual as an element of value and love, away from fetishism, and (c) a link between the trans realm and specific spaces of comfort and freedom.

The article analyzes the current state and trends of e-sports in the world by studying the time series of the number of requests from Internet users, obtained through the use of Google Trends. The positive and negative consequences of e-sports development in the world have been identified. The forecasting of world tendencies of e-sports by means of methods of data mining is carried out. Using the application of multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARSplines), a model of the relationship between the predictor - a time indicator and the dependent variable - the time series of the number of requests of Internet users, which are non-monotonic in nature and provide the possibility of regression switching points. The adequacy of the constructed model is proved by means of regression statistics and histogram of correspondence of residuals to the normal distribution law. The expediency of using the method of multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARSplines) before other statistical methods is substantiated.

We consider modeling and geophysical interpretation of the obtained results in the oil and gas production problems in anisotropic reservoirs. For solving these practical problems, we use combined finite element-differences method of resolving anisotropic piezoconductivity problem with calculation of heterogeneous filtration parameters distribution of oil and gas productive reservoirs and oil-gas penetration conditions in the borders of investigating areas. We have defined that the anisotropy of oil and gas permeability in the far zone of the well has a greater effect on the filtration processes around the well and, accordingly, on the producing of the raw materials than the anisotropy of permeability in the near zone of the well. We have shown that the intensity of filtration processes in anisotropic reservoirs near the acting well depends significantly on the shear permeability and to a lesser extent on the axial permeability of the corresponding phase. Therefore, for the effective using of anisotropic reservoirs, it is necessary to place production wells in local areas with relatively low anisotropy of permeability of the reservoir, especially to avoid places with shear anisotropy.

It was shown that despite the difference in the morphology of thin gold films obtained by different methods and on different substrates, the films mainly consist of spherical nanoparticles. The linear dimensions of individual surface objects were determined using the example of a gold film on mica. Analysis of the surface morphology showed that its structural formations are evenly distributed and have sizes from 250 nm to 500 nm. Upon receipt of gold nanofilms by magnetron sputtering on a glass substrate, the size of individual gold nanoparticles ranges from 20 nm to 80 nm. When ion spraying on a substrate of polished monocrystalline silicon, the size of individual gold nanoparticles ranges from 2 nm to 10 nm. The union of individual nanoparticles into large elongated nanoobjects up to 20-40 nm in size is observed. Thus, having the opportunity to compare data on the mode of vacuum deposition (substrate temperature, beam density, deposition time, etc.), as well as surface relief, you can develop technologies for obtaining a surface with a given set of properties, as well as develop new methods of gold deposition on different surfaces. The obtained results are very important for application in biology and medicine. They make it possible to create different types of sensors and diagnostic tests.

The problem of axial stretching of a plate with a double-periodic system of round holes arranged in a checkerboard pattern is considered. The specified problem is reduced to elasticity second problem for one period of plate, which was solved by the finite element method. As a result, the reduced elastic characteristics of the equivalent homogeneous orthotropic plate are found. The analysis of their behavior depending on dimensionless geometrical parameters is carried out. The area of variation of the geometric parameters was divided into two subareas. The behavior of the equivalent elastic characteristics in these areas is significantly different. It turned out that the double-periodic perforated plate shows significantly anisotropic behavior. The limit values of the Poisson's ratios can reach unity and, on the other hand, may be less than the original value. Dependences of the stress concentration coefficient on dimensionless geometrical parameters are obtained too. Performed comparative analysis of the obtained results with the results known from the literature, confirmed their adequacy.

The nature of labor within the United States has been distinctly altered over the past 50 years due to deindustrialization, global market movements, and technological innovation. The prioritization of neoliberal economic theory within urban economic development initiatives places American cities at an inherent disadvantage in creating equitable social conditions for their citizens. The researcher offers a comparative economic analysis of Memphis, TN; Denver, CO; and Philadelphia, PA. Qualitative interviews are conducted in order to examine and predict future employment industry sectors in each referenced City. The review ends with a discussion of progressive policy implementation, and how neoliberal urbanism impacts American competitiveness globally.

Around the world, the museums are facing a significant problem that the old, traditional exhibits are no longer attractive to new audiences. As a result, the museums need new engaging experiences that integrate technology in memorable ways. This thesis explores digital media and interactive tactile technology as the method to augment an existing physical cultural heritage exhibit, breaking down the boundary between the visitors and the isolated, protected artifacts, I used augmented reality with narrative-based animation as the extension to the static visuals. The tactile interaction was designed to mimic the surface attributes of the original artifact and it is utilizing the textile-based capacitive sensor to engage the visitor in a participatory experience. This study focuses on the design for dedicated spaces such as museums and galleries. To establish an effective design process and evaluate the potentials of combining augmented reality with a textile-based capacitive sensor, a functioning prototype has been designed and developed. The prototype showcases Chinese Dragons from the era of the Qing Dynasty (1636 - 1912). The design process was informed by the feedback and input following consultations with museum experts. Future work may include the integration of other advanced reactive and smart materials such as Chameleon fibers to enhance the experience, which is briefly discussed in this thesis.

This study aimed to analyze the portrait, shape, and strengthening of the voting behavior of villagers and the political education of young and old villagers in the election of village heads. This study used a case study qualitative approach with observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The results showed that the portrait of villager voting behavior in the village head election was seen through the use of voting rights, material and physical support, and participation in village deliberations. The form of the voting behavior of villagers in the village head election is included in the categories of novice voters, sawing voters, floating masses, and permanent voters. Strengthening the voting behavior of villagers in the election of village heads was carried out through socialization carried out by village officials, contestants, volunteers, churches, and the committee of the voting group. The political education of young villagers in the election of village heads was obtained from various online media, while the older group received political education from print media.

This study aimed to analyze the judges' considerations in the Constitutional Court Decision Number 16/PUU-XVI/2018 regarding the provisions of Article 245 paragraph (1) of Law Number 2 of 2018, and to analyze the legal consequences of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 16/PUU-XVI/2018 regarding written approval of the President in the examination of members of the House of Representatives suspected of committing a crime. This study used a normative juridical method with a statutory approach. The data sources (the primary and secondary legal materials) were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The study results showed two judges' considerations regarding the provisions of Article 245 paragraph (1) of Law Number 2 of 2018. First, it was contrary to the principle of equality in law and government. Second, the assumption that the Honorary Court of the Council was an ethical institution with no direct relationship with the criminal justice system. The legal consequences of the Constitutional Court's Decision Number 16/PUU-XVI/2018 regarding the written approval of the President in the examination of members of the House of Representatives were causing legal uncertainty, legal injustice, and abuse of authority that could trigger a politics of retaliation.

Introduction: The relation between objectively measured physical activity (PA) and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors has not been studied in Iceland. This study aimed to investigate PA and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors among three professions: manual laborers, office workers, and farmers. Material and methods: The participants (73 males, 89 females) underwent anthropometric measurements. Total PA and time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) was assessed with activity monitors. Blood pressure was measured and fasting blood samples analyzed for total cholesterol, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, insulin and homeostatic model assessment. Results: Male manual laborers and farmers were more physically active than office workers (p<0.01), but no difference was found among females. Nevertheless, female farmers spent less time in MVPA than other professions (p<0.05). Low proportion (18.4%) of all participants and none of the male office workers met the guidelines of the Directorate of Health for daily PA. Farmers had lower levels of triglycerides (p=0.01) and glucose (p<0.01), and greater fat-free mass (p<0.03) than other professions. They also had the highest levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, followed by manual laborers, and then office workers (p<0.02). Total PA was significantly related to a greater number of metabolic risk factors than time spent in MVPA. Conclusion: Farmers have the most favorable metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors in the blood and their PA and fat-free mass are a likely explanation. Regardless, their PA is low, and only one-fifth of all participants meet the guidelines for daily PA. Total PA appears more important for the metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors than time spent in MVPA.
