Enfoque do lazer, suas afirmações e contradições presentes na “crise da modernidade” onde três elementos mostram-se fortemente envolvidos: o trabalho como realização de si, a política como expressão da vida social (gerando um poder agressivo) e a fé no futuro como motor do projeto individual e social. Panorama este onde foi desenvolvida uma tentativa (bem sucedida) de domesticação das massas, do assentamento no trabalho e no destino à residência. Nesse âmbito, onde o aspecto racional foi privilegiado, acentuaram-se concepções de corpo onde a emoção foi desprezada, clamando por um corpo emergente, transgressivo nos seus propósitos e ações.

A Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM) possui uma população acadêmica de aproximadamente 24 mil estudantes. Durante o vestibular, a cidade chega a receber cerca de 20 mil candidatos, os quais ficam hospedados próximos à universidade. Após as provas, candidatos e acadêmicos se aglomeram em determinados bares e lanchonetes para se confraternizarem em torno de comida, bebida, paquera e som alto. Essa festa dos jovens causou transtornos ao descanso dos moradores, que, por sua vez, obtiveram a proibição do consumo de bebida em lei municipal. O presente trabalho visa compreender a Lei Seca como uma (falta de) política pública de lazer para a juventude, tendo como norte a opinião da população sobre a festa.

Published: September 2020

The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is a standard for assessing environmental heat stress, but the requirement of expensive instrument with specialized maintenance is limited its use. This study aims to develop the empirical equation to estimate the WBGT from Heat Index (HI) calculated from portable temperature and humidity recorder (THR), based on the data collected at seven sites covering all regions of Thailand. Comparative analysis shows that the HI values calculated from THR (HITHR) are consistent well with those measured from the thermal environmental monitor (HIQT36) as evidenced by a highly positive correlation between them (r=0.97; p<0.01; n=4,303). These results suggest high reliability of the portable THR and its acceptance to be used instead of the standard QT36 device. Based on a simple linear regression developed to estimate WBGT from the HITHR, it was found that the model accounts for at least 90% of the variance of the observed WBGT (dependent variable). In addition, validation of the model with the statistical methods shows relatively small errors of the estimated WBGT values in comparison to the observed values. With this evidence, the developed empirical regression equation can be used to estimate WBGT with high accuracy and confidence. Simple and easier to use for the practitioners who are involved in public health works at community level, a heat monitoring tool kit consisting of a THR, WBGT chart and recommended actions were further developed based on the results obtained. This tool kit is a low-cost and simple device which can be used by various community-level stakeholders to prevent and reduce heat injuries and deaths of risk groups, especially the elderly. This tool is necessary in light of anthropogenic-induced warming and Thailand’s aging society.
Bridging the gap

Published: September 2020

The European Language Portfolio (ELP) has been widely implemented to support the development of learner autonomy in the teaching and learning of spoken languages, but, until this study, had not been implemented with learners of sign languages. Across 2017–18, we developed and piloted a sample ELP for Irish Sign Language (ISL), which fed into work on the development of an ELP for sign language learners, under the umbrella of the PRO-Sign 2 project (European Centre for Modern Languages). We piloted the ELP with a cohort of ISL learners in the second year of their Bachelor in Deaf Studies, who perform at A2-B1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (2001; Leeson et al., 2016). All are learning ISL as a second language (L2), and are acquiring this sign language in what is, for them a new modality (M2). We met students on four occasions across 2017–18 to explore how/if use of the ELP in the ISL classroom supports the development of robust self-evaluation skills, and how the ELP enhances student-reported perception of motivation and autonomy. We report on the process, and present a grounded theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1968), “Bridging the Gap”, drawn from key concerns of these ISL M2L2 learners at A2–B1 level.
Special Nature of Verbs in Sign Languages
Authors: Murtagh Irene Elizabeth
Published: September 2020

This paper is concerned with the special nature of Sign Language verbs, in particular to this research, Irish Sign Language (ISL) verbs. We use Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) (Van Valin 2005) to provide a definition of the structure of lexical entries that are sufficiently rich and universal in nature to represent ISL verbs. This work is part of research work in the development of a linguistically motivated computational framework for ISL. We use RRG (Van Valin and LaPolla 1997) as the theoretical framework of this study. RRG takes language to be a system of communicative social action, and accordingly, analysing the communicative functions of grammatical structures plays a vital role in grammatical description and theory from this perspective (Van Valin 2005). Using RRG provides significant theoretical and technical challenges within both RRG and software.

We provide an account of the morphological and grammatical information that can be found within ISL verbs. We use the Signs of Ireland corpus (SOI) to access the relevant linguistic data pertinent to ISL (Leeson et al, 2006). Further to this we use ELAN software as an application tool, which allows us to view the corpus and collate relevant linguistic phenomena pertinent to ISL. We utilise the Event Visibility Hypothesis (EVH) (Wilbur 2008) in the development of our proposed lexicon architecture. We refer to Articulatory Structure Level (Murtagh 2018) in the development of a linguistically motivated computational definition of lexicon entries that are sufficiently robust in nature to represent ISL verbs within the RRG lexicon. We utilise this new level of lexical representation (Pustejovsky 1995), which describes the essential (computational) phonological parameters of an object as defined by the lexical item to cater specifically for the computational linguistic phenomena consistent with signed languages, in particular to this research ISL, enabling us to provide an adequate account of ISL verbs within the RRG lexicon.

Published: September 2020

Engineering education was predicated on two sources. One on trade apprenticeship where people that are trained locally under the tutelage of someone are engaged in further studies to broaden their theoretical and practical knowledge. The other source of engineering education was within the four walls of the educational institution which has in its core natural sciences and it emphasizes specialization in a specific aspect of engineering. This study seeks to understand if value for money in engineering education is in theory or practice. Value for money is one of the measures of quality of education. Value for money as a concept that has been defined by various authors and the World Bank defined value for money as the effective, efficient, and economic use of resources, which requires the evaluation of relevant costs and benefits with the assessment of risks and of non-priced items and/or cost of life cycle. The objective of this research is to determine if the search for value for money in engineering education is a theory or practice. Findings from the study revealed that engineering education is one of foundation for the development of the society. By engineering education, the dynamics of life has been influenced and also human culture giving more substance to civilization and politics. It was also found out that value for money is not only a financial marker but it has with it various economic, social, physical dimension. In engineering education costs are expended and this this necessitates the drive for value for money. This study recommends that there is a need for better measures of value for money in engineering education and there is a need to advance knowledge on the theories of engineering to ensure relevance in this changing era.

An enhanced security for authentication is defined because it is vital that authentication is an extremely important crucial robust process for each user to access any of the applications. Magnificent growth and usage of the internet raise agitate about the way to communicate, protect data and sensitive information safely. In today’s world hackers use differing types of attacks in order to acquire valuable information. Many of the attacks are primarily used to get into an application to steal the credentials followed by internal information of the users. The first thing of security is defined in three terms. i.e., confidentiality, integrity and availability. Confidentiality can protect information from unauthorized access and exploiting of sensitive data. Integrity measures protect information from unauthorized alteration. Whereas availability so as for a data system to be useful it must be available to authorized users. The most objective of this paper is to supply information about confidentiality in terms of multifactor authentication. Confidentiality plays a serious role in terms of authentication. Authentication is the process of proving or showing to be true. This includes confidentiality and integrity. The improved security for authentication is additionally known for multifactor authentication for the users. This multifactor authentication is implemented for an android application using a visual-picture login technique to access the an application.

With cloud computing (CC) becoming popular in recent years, variety of institutions, organizations, businesses and individual users are creating interest. They are adopting the technology in order to take advantage of shared web applications, low infrastructure cost, utility and distributed computing, cluster computing as well as reliable IT architecture. In the area of health, Cloud Health Information Systems (CHIS) play a key role not only on the healthcare businesses but patients as well. On the patient side, CHIS aid in sharing of medical data and health information, timely access of critical patient information and coordination of clinical services. Patients, who continue to demand for instantaneous and quality healthcare services are now able to access the services from experts even when they are not necessarily in the same physical location. This is being aided by proliferation of telemedicine through hosted cloud architecture. From the business perspective, CC has helped to cut down operational expenses by way of cost-effective clinical information system infrastructure through the implementation of a distributed platform. The platform has therefore saved businesses millions of dollars that would have gone to infrastructural and human resource investment. Even with these immense opportunities, cloud computing uptake has been serious inhibited by the privacy and security concerns. Due to the sensitivity of personal health information, businesses and individuals are apprehensive when it comes to adopting the technology or releasing the data to the cloud. This study is a results discussion of an enhanced model for attainment of data privacy on the cloud through use of multi factor authentication.

The objective of this research is to study the effect of laser energy and Nitrogen flow on the solder joints of the Head Gimbal Assembly (HGA). The soldering of the HGA components isn’t the same as general semiconductors. Since the soldering figure perpendicular to each other so that, it was used the laser solder jet bonding system. The solder jet bonding system uses a solder ball consisting of Sn-2.0Ag-0.7Cu (SAC207) is used for connection of the HGA pad made from a Cu trace coated with Au. The growth of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and shear strength will be analyzed to investigate the effects of laser energy and Nitrogen flow on solder joint reliability. In this research, laser energy levels since 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, and 4.5 mJ and keep the Nitrogen flow value at 90 mbar. As for the Nitrogen flow effect analysis, the Nitrogen flow level was used at 80, 100, 120, and 140 mbar and keep the laser energy value 3.5 mJ. The results of the study show that the increased levels of laser energy can inhibit the growth of intermetallic compounds as well as the AuSn4 phase that can present benefit to solder joints with results showing within the shear strength to increase significantly. The increase in Nitrogen flow levels has the same effect as the increase in laser energy levels, which can decreases the growth of intermetallic compounds and AuSn4 phase also including increased shear strength. The difference between laser energy and Nitrogen flow increasing shows the level of laser energy can clearly distinct the effect on each level. But the increase in Nitrogen flow level is statistically insignificant from each level.

Nowadays Deep learning was advanced so much in our daily life. From 2014, there is massive growth in this technology as there is a vast amount of data present. We are even getting better results from whatever we may do. In my work, I have used Convolution Neural Networks as my project depends on image classification. So what I’m trying to do is I’m using two classes in which one class is male and one class is female. I’m classifying both the classes and trying to predict who is male and who is female. For this, I have been using layers like Sequential, Convolution2D, Max-pooling, Flattening, and finally Dense. So, I connect all of these layers. I have been using two more extra layers which are Convolution2D and max-pooling connected as one layer for better classifications. In my model, I’m using Adam optimizer as I’m having only two classes and in my experiments, I found Adam as a good optimizer and I use binary cross entropy as my loss function as I’m using only two classes if we have more than two classes we can use categorical loss function and the images which I use for predictions will be converted into 64*64 matrix form. In the end, I will be getting predictions as 1 for male and 0 for female.

The knowledge acquirement by the learner is a major assignment of an E-Learning framework. Evaluation is required in order to adapt knowledge resources and task to learner ability. Assessment provides learner’s an approach to evaluate the skills gained through the e-learning domain they are accessing. A dissimilar method can be used to assess the information acquirement, such as probabilistic Bayesian Network model. A Bayesian Network is a graphical representation of the probabilistic relationships of a complex system. This network can be used for reasoning with uncertainty. Bayesian Network is the most challenging task in e-learning system as learner evaluation model are an element of uncertainty. In this paper the current proposed scheme is constructed on Bayesian Network to deduce the stage of knowledge possessed by the learner. It also proposes type of assessment to identify the knowledge whatever the learner identifies. Throughout the assessment, it can be performed by two approaches namely Sequential and Random. In Sequential approach, questions can be displayed on the learner machine in sequential order. In Random approach, questions can be displayed on the learner machine in random order. However, both have their inherent limitations. Questions that are considered to be answered easily by the learner may also be presented to the learner who is not desirable. This system determined on the illustration of Bayesian Network model and algorithm for inference about learner’s knowledge. The Bayesian Network model was efficiently implemented for three levels of learner called Higher Learners (HL), Regular Learners (RL) and Irregular Learners (IL) for learner’s assessment and was successfully implemented with 81.1% of probabilities for learner’s assessment.

Published: September 2020

Emerging infections represent an enormous challenge to both human and veterinary medicine. Identification of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in various species and in food has raised concerns about the roles of animals in the epidemiology of MRSA. MRSA are a group of gram-positive bacteria, distinct from other strains of S. aureus in that this pathogen is resistant to methicillin, oxacillin, and all beta-lactam antibiotics. The severity of infections caused by MRSA depends on the strain responsible for the infection and can vary from soft tissue infections to bacteremia and sometimes pneumonia. MRSA strains are divided into clones, based on their genetic makeup. According to the setting of infection, MRSA are divided into three epidemiological types: hospital acquired (HA-MRSA), community acquired (CA-MRSA), and livestock acquired (LA-MRSA) (ie. Transmitted from animal carriers). The epidemiology of HA-MRSA, CA-MRSA, and LA-MRSA is blurred as different recent genetic studies have revealed significant overlap of identical clones between HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA, and the significant increase of human infection caused by LA-MRSA. Furthermore, the animal-human and animal-animal transmission of LA-MRSA has prompted further investigation to study the origin of this epidemiological type and the transmission dynamics. The genetic and virulence profiles of different types of MRSA vary widely, where community acquired and livestock acquired strains are more virulent than hospital acquired strains. This review sheds light on three epidemiological groups of MRSA (HA-MRSA, CA-MRSA, and LA-MRSA), and their most prevalent clonal clusters, that can consequently allow better understanding of their evolution, emergence, transmission, and global dissemination.

Authors: Thakkar Nikulkumar , Panday Shalini , Gupta Nomeeta
Published: September 2020

Introduction Birth weight is one of the important factors for the survival, normal growth and development of a child. LBW is associated with compromised growth, disabilities, hospitalizations, brain damage, and poorer language development, increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders in adult life. Maternal risk factor that may contribute to LBW include age, stature, socioeconomic status, multiple pregnancies, previous LBW infants and poor nutrition. Method: The present cross-sectional study was carried out in the postnatal care wards and NICU of Janta trust hospital, Patan. All live born babies born at Janta Hopsital with birth weight of less than 2.5kg during July 2019 to June 2020 were included after written consent from parents. The information regarding the study variables was record on predesigned, pretested questionnaire. Result: Out of 65 LBW babies, 46.2% were boys. Percentage of LBW babies was similar in second para and above (52.3%) as compared to primiparous mothers (47.7%). Eighteen babies (18, 27.7%) were born pre term. About 3.1% LBW babies had very low birth weight. The proportion of LBW babies was higher in 20-24 year age group (52.3%). Majority of mothers studied up to primary (84.8%). Total 63.1% had an antenatal registration with in the first trimester. Half of mothers (52.3%) visited adequately during antenatal period. Most common maternal factors found in LBW mothers were anemia (55.4%), PIH (12.0%) followed by UTI (7.7%) fever (6.2%) and APH (6.2%). Conclusion: Maternal factors like teenage pregnancy, illiteracy of the mothers, lower socioeconomic status, short birth spacing, lack of antenatal care were observed higher among low birth weight newborn. There is the need to strengthen the maternal services at community level.

The Tesla expander was first developed by N. Tesla at the beginning of the 20th century. In recent years, due to the increasing appeal towards micro power generation and energy recovery from wasted flows, this cost effective expander technology rose a renovated interest. In the present study, a 2D numerical model is realized and a design procedure of a Tesla turbine for ORC applications is proposed. A throughout optimization method is developed by evaluating the losses of each component. The 2D model results are further exploited through the development of 3D computational investigation, which allows an accurate comprehension of the flow characteristics. Finally, two prototypes are designed, realized and tested. The former one is designed to work with air as working fluid. The second prototype is designed to work with organic fluids. The achieved experimental results confirmed the validity and the large potential applicative chances of this emerging technology in the field of micro sizes, low inlet temperature and low expansion ratios.
