Published: September 2020

Efforts to maximize the optimization of production costs in a plan and control production costs is to reduce costs to the maximum extent possible to provide maximum profits, so the sugar factory must manage its production activities effectively and efficiently. This activity has the intention to describe the planning and management of production costs as a goal that intends to increase the efficiency of production prices at PT. PG Pesantren Baru Keiri. The research method used in this research is to explain with a case approach to PT. New PG Pesantren, sampling with interviews and taking pictures or recordings. From the results of research or thoughts that have been carried out it can be concluded that the production cost budget is still inefficient. The contributing factor to this is the weak protection of global production costs, so that it cannot minimize the elimination of production costs organized by irresponsible elements. Keywords: Planning, Control, Production Costs Usaha untuk yang digunakan pada proses produksi akan berkaitan dengan perencanaan yang berasumsi pada pengendalian bahan baku yang berguna mengurangi biaya produksi untuk menambah laba pada produksi di pabrik PT.

Paz no democrática en América del Sur: regímenes militares y su impacto sobre la paz regional durante el siglo 20
Authors: Battaglino Jorge
Published: September 2020

Los regímenes militares sudamericanos fueron pacíficos en sus relaciones con los estados limítrofes a pesar del mantenimiento de numerosos conflictos territoriales y del uso extremo de la violencia en el ámbito interno. El artículo se concentra en el estudio de dos variables que favorecieron esta suerte de “paz no democrática”: el impacto de las rivalidades duraderas y el de la competencia entre facciones de las fuerzas armadas. El principal hallazgo es que estos aspectos impulsaron la larga paz regional aunque los actores que promovieron ambas dinámicas no tuvieron como principal objetivo la preservación de la paz. Por el contrario, el principal interés de las fuerzas armadas fue estratégico en el sentido de conservar el poder político y económico como así también evitar que alguna de las tres fuerzas acumule demasiado poder. En este sentido, la paz fue un resultado secundario de estos intereses.
La cobertura mediática de los conflictos armados. El caso de Siria
Authors: Moreno Mercado José Manuel
Published: September 2020

El conflicto en Siria ha despertado un enorme interés desde diversos puntos académicos. Su longevidad y complejidad ha generado una enorme cantidad de literatura especialmente desde el ámbito de la ciencia política y las relaciones internacionales al convertirse en una de las crisis más graves desde la II Guerra Mundial. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer qué encuadres utilizaron la prensa española, británica y francesa durante el desarrollo del conflicto en el país árabe. Utilizando una estrategia metodológica cuantitativa, a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio y la rotación varimax, se investigó qué variables están correlacionadas para poder detectar los encuadres en los editoriales de prensa analizados. Esta contribución aporta datos que apoyan los estudios que afirman que los diarios de prensa europeos definen la problemática de los conflictos armados principalmente desde un enfoque humanitario.
Representaciones Sociales del Conflicto Armado y de la Paz de la Comunidad Sikuani de Puerto Gaitán
Authors: Garzón Segura Anni Marcela
Published: September 2020

En el marco del conflicto armado colombiano se ha hecho necesario aproximarse a otras perspectivas sobre el conflicto y la paz que enriquezcan la comprensión del fenómeno y que permitan visibilizar nuevos caminos posibles para la construcción de paz. En este sentido, este artículo sintetiza los resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue analizar las representaciones sociales (RS) del conflicto armado colombiano y de la paz que tiene la comunidad indígena Sikuani del municipio de Puerto Gaitán. Se abordó desde la perspectiva de las RS de Abric, así como desde una concepción histórico-política del conflicto armado colombiano y la visión de paz desarrollada por Muñoz (2001, 2004). El estudio fue cualitativo de tipo etnográfico con base fenomenológica realizado a partir de dos técnicas: entrevistas a profundidad y jerarquización de items. A partir de un análisis de contenido se encontró como RS del conflicto armado la imposibilidad de ser terminado, la no representatividad de ningún actor y el poder como motivación de los grupos armados. Por otro lado, en relación a la paz, esta es representada como una realidad interna y expresada socialmente pero inalcanzable por la limitación de expresar tradiciones culturales.
Violencia, bienestar económico y población: México 1998-2016
Authors: Reyes Guzman Gerardo , Sánchez Ruiz Abraham , Rostro Hernández Perla Esperanza
Published: September 2020

La presente investigación se plantea el objetivo de analizar el fenómeno de la violencia en México en dos vertientes: primero a la luz de las cifras publicadas por el INEGI en donde se señala que la cifra de homicidios en 2017 alcanzó la cifra récord de 31,174 y segundo mediante la prueba hipótesis a través de un modelo panel que afirma que la violencia está asociada a la violencia misma y a factores de bienestar económico y demográfico. El estudio rechaza la hipótesis nula para tres grupos de entidades federativas: las que concentran cerca del 50% de las variables estudiadas; las que muestran una tendencia hacia la disminución y las que destacan por el número de homicidios creciente por cada cien mil habitantes entre 1998 y 2016. Al final concluimos que la violencia tiene un carácter estructural, difícil de abatir en el corto plazo.
Perspectivas de cooperación y conflicto transfronterizos en torno al Sistema Acuífero del Sahara Septentrional (SASS)
Authors: Romero Lécrivain Andrea
Published: September 2020

Este artículo se centra en la relación existente entre los acuíferos transfronterizos y la seguridad internacional, por la anunciada escasez de agua dulce en un futuro no muy lejano. Analiza la posible vulnerabilidad actual en torno al sistema de acuíferos SASS, ubicado en el Norte de África, en una región en la que se acentúan los impactos del cambio climático. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar –esencialmente jurídica y politológica- se examina la situación actual del acuífero y el estado del marco jurídico internacional. Posteriormente, mediante varios indicadores, se examina la evolución de de la cooperación entre 2014 y 2018, como potencial de seguridad, y el alcance de los principales factores y agentes potencialmente favorables a acentuar vulnerabilidades. El análisis pormenorizado resalta el escaso avance en cooperación  y la tendencia al alza de la mayoría de los factores favorables a conflictos, subrayando la dificultad del paso de una cooperación técnica a una cooperación y gestión política duradera, en ausencia de marco juridíco.

Objetivo: Conocer los comportamientos generados por las experiencias en el conflicto armado y comprender los significados que les dan a estas, los estudiantes de Salud Pública y Enfermería. Metodología: Investigación de tipo cualitativo con enfoque etnográfico, se aplicaron 20 entrevistas no estructuradas, se elaboró diario de campo, se codificaron los datos, se construyeron categorías y se elaboró un mapa conceptual para facilitar la escritura del artículo. Hallazgos: Los estudiantes describen dos formas de comportamiento en las personas que han tenido contacto con el conflicto armado, el primero es huir y el segundo es quedarse y sobrevivir, ambas decisiones son respuestas emocionales al miedo ocasionado por los grupos armados. Una vez pasado el conflicto los estudiantes sienten miedo de ir a lugares donde hay presencia de excombatientes. Los estudiantes se consideran víctimas, independiente de la experiencia que hayan tenido, ya sea directa o indirecta; los victimarios vistos individualmente, también son víctimas. Conclusión: El miedo como sentimiento obstaculiza la interacción con los excombatientes. Es necesario superar el miedo para poder trabajar con ellos y esto se logra por medio del conocimiento del contexto.
Far from heaven, Grounded on Earth: Environmental (In)justice in South Korea
Authors: Ortega Santos Antonio , Herráiz Martín Susana , Mora Roás Enrique
Published: September 2020

For years we have been developing several research projects in the field of environmental history, paying special attention to studies on environmental conflict. This look towards the resistance in defense of the territories, assumed by NGOs, researchers, academics but, in a special way, civil society that suffers the impact of industrial processes. The set of extractive activities carried out by industrial consortiums with the permissiveness of governments has consequences on the living and health conditions of the population as a whole. The historical processes of colonial appropriation of natural and energetic resources, at the service of a voracious capitalism or in its Chinese side, have turned each human activity into a new commodity. Extracting, Appropriating and Circulating energy and matter on a global scale has enormous consequences on the local population as well as on the structures of Metabolic Systems/Processes and sustainability on a global scale. Methodologically we use the tools provided by the EJOLT project (www.ejolt.org) to apply it in a decolonial key and proceed to apply the research in non-Eurocentric contexts. With this article we laid the foundations of research in the field of political ecology on environmental conflicts, putting as a novelty the application of research in the field of Asian studies, in its most innovative aspect as is the case of Korea.

Published: September 2020

Plant health and plant density can be monitored through indices values calculated from reflectance charateristics of plants. This study aims to investigate the effects of different rates of nitrogen fertilizer on spectral reflectance characteristics of dryland winter wheat and to determine and select the most reliable vegetation indices for Nitrogen (N) status assesment (N contents of leaves) of winter wheat canopy in early, late and whole development stages. The field experiment was carried out in randomized block design with three replications and 0, 40, 80, 120, 160 kg/ha N doses applied between 2012-2013 years in İkizce Farm experiment field. In each plot, spectroradiometer readings were taken during growing period from planting to harvest various plant vegetation indices (NDVI, RDVI, SAVI, MTVI, MCARI-1, MCARI-2, TCARI, TVI, SIPI, NPCI, Red Edge (750-700), Red Edge (740-720)) were calculated from measured spectroradiometric values. A total of 90 different indices were calculated to obtain the relationship between nitrogen accumulation and hyperspectral indices (structural, chlorophyll pigment, red edge indices). The simple linear determination coefficients (R²) between those indices and leaf nitrogen contents in different development stages of early, late, and whole season were calculated. During the early period of tillering to bolting, (Feekes 4-7) NDI-1, NDI-2, SR-7, Red Edge indices (708-850 nm.) have the highest determination coefficients (R²) of 0.643, 0.641, 0.620 with RMSE values of 5.996, 6.039, 6.129 and relative percentage error values (%RE) of 23.07, 23.23, 23.58 % respectively. During the period of heading to ripening (Feekes 8-10), PhRI, NDV-3, NDVI-4 visible (Green Zone), red, red edge and near infrared (NIR) indices (531-800 nm.) showed the highest determination coefficients of 0.734, 0.708, 0.699 with RMS values of 3.089, 3.205, 3.149 and relative percentage error values of 40.37, 41.89, 41.16 % respectively. Considering all growing period in 2013 of tillering to ripening, ( Feekes 4-10); SR-14, SRPI, TVI visible area (blue + green) and Red Edge indices (415-750 nm.) have determination coefficients of 0.742, 0.699, 0.646 and RMS values 1.203, 0.902, 0.697 and relative percentage error values of 7.15, 5.36, 4.14 %, respectively. High determination coefficient (R²) between plant nitrogen uptake and reflectance charecteristics were attained as HVI (r= 0.806 p<0.0.1 **), OSAVI (r= 0.794, p<0.0.1**), NDVI (r= 0.794, p<0.0.1**) and HNDVI (r= 0.793, p<0.0.1**).

Synthesis of evidence from the totality of relevant research is essential to inform and improve prevention efforts and policy. Given the large and usually heterogeneous evidence available,reaching a thorough understanding of what works, for whom, and in what contexts, can only be achieved through a systematic and comprehensive synthesis of evidence. Many barriers impede comprehensive evidence synthesis, which leads to uncertainty about the generalizability of intervention effectiveness, including: inaccurate terminology titles/abstracts/keywords (hampering literature search efforts); ambiguous reporting of study methods (resulting ininaccurate assessments of study rigor); and poorly reported participant characteristics, outcomes, and key variables (obstructing the calculation of an overall effect or the examination of effect modifiers). To address these issues and improve the reach of primary studies through theirinclusion in evidence syntheses, we provide a set of practical guidelines to help prevention scientists prepare synthesis-ready research. We use a recent mindfulness trial as an empirical example to ground the discussion and demonstrate ways to ensure: (1) primary studies are discoverable; (2) the types of data needed for synthesis are present; and (3) these data are readily synthesizable. We highlight several tools and practices that can aid authors in these efforts, such as creating a repository for each project to host all study-related data files. We also provide step-by-step guidance and software suggestions for standardizing data design and public archiving to facilitate synthesis-ready research.
The associations between spatial skills and specific components of physics knowledge: a primary school classroom study on sound propagation
Authors: Hodgkiss Alex , Thomas Michael , Tolmie Andrew , Farran Emily
Published: September 2020

Previous research demonstrates an association between spatial ability and science achievement in primary school aged children. However, little is known about the mechanisms driving this relationship. We therefore investigated the associations between children’s spatial skills and components of physics learning (knowledge retrieval vs. conceptual knowledge [predictions and explanations]). Participants (N = 107; mean age: 9.2 years) completed a set of spatial tasks based on the ‘2 x 2’ (intrinsic-extrinsic; static-dynamic) model. They also participated in a whole-class science lesson about sound, followed by an assessment of science knowledge. After controlling for vocabulary and prior knowledge, spatial ability was not associated with knowledge retrieval scores. Mental rotation was most closely associated with conceptual predictions (r 2 = 4-7%). However, mental folding was most strongly associated with conceptual explanations (r 2 = 9-14%). These findings suggest that future spatial intervention studies designed to enhance children’s science learning should target these intrinsic-dynamic spatial skills.
Narratives bridge the divide between distant events in episodic memory

Published: September 2020

Many studies suggest that information about past experience, or episodic memory, is divided into discrete units called “events.” Yet, we can often remember experiences that span multiple events. Events that occur in close succession might simply be linked because of their proximity to one another, but we can also build links between events that occur farther apart in time. Intuitively, some kind of organizing principle should enable temporally-distant events to become bridged in memory. We tested the hypothesis that episodic memory exhibits a narrative-level organization, enabling temporally-distant events to be better remembered if they form a coherent narrative. Furthermore, we tested whether post-encoding memory consolidation is necessary to integrate temporally-distant events. In three experiments, participants learned and subsequently recalled events from fictional stories, in which pairs of temporally-distant events involving side-characters (“sideplots”) either formed one coherent narrative or two unrelated narratives. Across participants, we varied whether recall was assessed immediately after learning, or after a delay: twenty-four hours, twelve hours between morning and evening (“wake”), or twelve hours between evening and morning (“sleep”). Participants recalled more information about coherent than unrelated narrative events, in most delay conditions, including immediate recall and wake conditions, suggesting that post-encoding consolidation was not necessary to integrate temporally-distant events into a larger narrative. Furthermore, post-hoc modeling across experiments suggested that narrative coherence facilitated recall over and above any effects of sentence-level semantic similarity. This reliable memory benefit for coherent narrative events supports theoretical accounts which propose that narratives provide a high-level architecture for episodic memory.

Constraints to Community Participation in Tourism in Kenya: The Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary
Authors: Kihima Bonface O. , Musila Paul M.
Published: September 2020

Community Based Tourism (CBT) is among several types of tourism that have been considered sustainable and beneficial to the host populations in conservation areas. The local community participation in tourism in conservation areas is supposed to be high and its members should benefit from the tourism process. However, having been presented with opportunity to improve their livelihoods, communities are constrained in various ways and generally fail to benefit from tourism development. This study was set to investigate constraints to community participation in conservation areas. It was carried out in Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary (MES) in Kwale County, Kenya, using a descriptive survey design. Data was collected using researcher administered questionnaires and oral interviews. The results indicated that lack of coordination among stakeholders; inadequate financial resources, lack of conducive environment for tourism growth, and lack of skills/knowledge were major constraints to participation. The study concludes that to address both operational and structural constraints to community participation, the national and county governments should develop policies that compel investors to honor agreements with communities, assist communities to enter into fair collaborations with investors, and provide incentives to investors in tourism.

Majority of the thyroid dysfunction study group belonged to the 16-30 years age group followed by 31-45 years. Mean±SE for TSH, fT4 and fT3 levels show statistically significant differences in different thyroid disorders.

Conclusion: The study revealed a high prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism followed by overt hypothyroidism among the patients visiting National Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Birgunj, Nepal. A higher percentage of females were found to have thyroid dysfunction compared to male.
An Ovarian Dermoid Cyst in Pregnancy: A Rare Cause of Intrauterine Growth Restriction
Authors: Das Rubby , Rajbhandari Subrina
Published: September 2020

The most common ovarian tumour presenting during pregnancy are dermoid cysts, usually present in the second trimester. Mostly dermoid cysts are diagnosed during ultrasound in antenatal period. We report a case of large unilateral dermoid cyst which was missed in all USG done in antenatal period but diagnosed intra-operatively while performing caesarean section for Intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR) with fetal distress. Ovarian cystectomy was done and remaining ovarian tissues were preserved. The large dermoid cyst hampered the proper growth of the fetus in utero leading to IUGR and fetal distress. Ovarian dermoid cyst in antenatal period, a rare cause of IUGR and its successful management prompted us to report this case.

Gravity field inversion using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) for estimation of sedimentary basin basement depth
Authors: LONI Soudeh , MEHRAMUZ Mahmoud
Published: September 2020

In this paper, for the first time an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm, is developed to evaluate the 2.5-D basement of sedimentary basin and consequently to simulate its bottom, by using the density contrast that varies parabolically with depth simultaneously. The IPSO method is capable of improving the global search of particles in all of the search fields. Finding the optimum solution is adjusted by an inertia weight and acceleration coefficients. Here, we have examined the ability of the IPSO inversion by the synthetic gravity data due to a sedimentary basin, with and without noise. The calculated depth and gravity of the synthetic model do not differ too much from assumed values due to set limits for model parameters and are always within the range. Also, the mentioned method has been applied for the 2.5-D gravity inverse modelling of a sedimentary basin in Iran. We also have modelled the sedimentary basin in 2-D along seven profiles. Furthermore, using the depth values estimated by IPSO from all profiles, a 3-D model of the sedimentary basin was generated. The obtained maximum depth for this sedimentary basin is 2.62 km.

Nowadays, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is particularly relevant because it concerns many health and social issues. According to international and national statistics, the number of GERD patients is constantly increasing, especially among the socially active segments of the population.

GERD is one of the most important problems of modern gastroenterology due to the increase in the number of patients with this pathology, the presence of both typical and atypical symptoms significantly impair the quality of patients’ life. Atypical symptoms of GERD may lead to overdiagnosis of some diseases and worsen their course; sometimes patients run the risk of developing serious complications with the need of long-term medical treatment in case of insufficient awareness of physicians about GERD.

Increased attention should be given to issues of concomitant pathology of the oral cavity and diseases of the esophagus taking into account the anatomical proximity, the commonness of the blood supply, innervation and humoral regulation, because the mouth is the first division of the alimentary canal. Therefore, all GERD-associated changes in the oral cavity can be divided into change in soft tissues (the vermilion border, mucosa, tongue, periodontal tissues) and hard tissues of teeth and a deterioration of the content and quality of oral fluid.

Our study aimed at examining the prevalence and variation of pathological changes in the oral mucosa of GERD patients.

We examined 90 patients aged 25–35 years and 45–55 years. Patients were divided into 3 groups of 30 patients in each group: 1 group – patients with diagnosed GERD with high acidity; 2 group – patients with low acidity, 3 group – control.

The patients have been examined by a gastroenterologist based on generally accepted criteria, esophageal pH monitoring data as well as fibrogastroduodenoscopy of esophagus and stomach. Dental assessment included evaluating the state of oral hygiene (index Green-Vermilion), and oral mucosa condition; the periodontal status was assessed by the index Rassel.

In conclusion, the findings indicate a variety of changes in oral cavity in patients with GERD, both with high and with low acidity. The prospect of our further research will be to develop an algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of oral GERD manifestations and secondary dental disease prevention.

The use of electricity now has become a basic requirement for modern society, not only in industry and offices, but also in housing. The problem with the distribution of electricity is that the power consumed must not exceed the current limiting installed because the increase in load causes the current to rise. Problems will arise if the continuity of electricity supply from PLN goes out due to overload, which will result in the activity stalled. The outage of electricity supply from PLN due to overload (over load) causes the users of electrical equipment to lose time and costs. The effects of sudden outages caused by overloading can damage electronic equipment. The system is made using AT89S51 microcontroller. The test results show that testing at each point shows that there is a linear relationship between the current measured by the output at each point. If there is a load group that has been extinguished but the ampere meter display still shows 2.00, the other load groups will be extinguished in a 60 second delay, until the ampere meter display shows a number below 2.00.

Technology development is increasing rapidly and effectively brings an impact on the field of technology. One of them is scanning objects using a computer. Object scanning is a technology that combines hardware to see objects and software to process data that has been received by the hardware. The traditional manufacturing process without 3D scanning involves the design, analysis and testing of prototypes needs a very long time and expensive. Whereas 3D scanning is considered capable of being more efficient and practical. This research is conducted to facilitate the 3D scanning process by utilizing sensors on the Kinect 360 camera. The object will be scanned with a 360 camera to get data on each side. The results obtained will be processed by the system and process it into 3D objects. The process of collecting object data using Eclipse software while object rotation using a stepper motor which controlled by arduino. Based on the results of tests from research, the infrared sensor on the Kinect camera is less than optimal in reflecting light back on the object that has uneven surfaces. But the sensor works well on the object that has a flat surface.
Eпістолярій Дарії Віконської як люстро творчої екзистенції

The figure of Dariya Vikonska (Karolina Ivanna Fedorovych-Malytska, 1893–1945) is little known and is one of the least studied in contemporary literary and art studies. Today, her forgotten research and literary heritage is coming back into Ukrainian cultural society. The artist can fully and deeply experience the fullness of human existence and transfer these experiences to the canvas, express it in music, or put it in the “clothes of the word” – in literature. National tradition and the sense of national belonging are very important for the artist. Hence, the vision of creativity as a process is deeply national. This national orientation of the artist is directly related to creativity as a national phenomenon rooted not in the borrowed and universally dismantled ideas and images but in the space of the national psyche. Dariya Vikonska was constantly interested in the psychology of creativity of the artist (writer, painter, composer). Her epistolary inheritance, as well as her literary studies and art studies, create a special ideological system of the vision of mental processes associated with creativity. This interest in the psychology of creativity requires the vision of art and literature as a national phenomenon inextricably linked with the mental features of the creative process seen as directly connected with the national ethnopsychology. Dariya Vikonska’s ideological, cultural, historical, and aesthetic ideas about literature, literary work, and art were surprisingly innovative, extremely relevant, and expressed the most recent ideas of the development of Ukrainian culture in the context of European culture.

Josef Váchal: zapis żałoby
Authors: Sosnowska Danuta
Published: September 2020

The article presents the experiences of loss, grief, and mourning endured by Josef Váchal and described by him in his book In memoriam Marie Váchalové (1923). Josef Váchal, who was one of the leading artists of the Czech art in the twentieth century, was a pioneer of printmaking in Czechia, famous for his woodcuts. He was also an interesting painter, draughtsman, and sculptor. While reading, the reader turns from the verbal description to the visual one and back again, since the book combines words and images. It contains 45 colour and 25 black-and-white woodcuts. This is a very personal and intimate confession of pain after the death of the artist’s wife, but also the record of his remorse and guilt for the romance he had in the last years of her life. However, the book also raises important metaphysical questions. Standing watch over the coffin and catafalque, Váchal photographed the dead woman for two days. The photographs became the basis for his woodcuts included in the book. The aim of this activity was not so much to commemorate his wife as to tell the story of the posthumous fate of the soul, which fascinated the artist as a mystic, interested also in the esoteric knowledge and spiritualism. The article deals with questions about the relationship between demonism and holiness, as shown and experienced by Váchal, and about his understanding of death and God.
