Hamas
Authors: Herman Lyndall
Published: May 2021

This paper addresses the evolving role of the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas – following its integration into “the establishment” in the aftermath of the 2006 Palestinian Legislative Council elections. By becoming the establishment in Gaza, Hamas and its leadership moved beyond earlier ideologically based concerns over legitimizing Israel’s existence. This move followed the evolutionary framework outlined by Jon Anderson. This paper contends that Anderson’s framework, which addresses the stages through which new media moves – from pioneer, to activist, to official (Islamic) discourse – can be applied to social movements to better understand their evolutionary processes. Within the limits of this paper, I will aply this framework to Hamas and its evolution and then trace this transition by analyzing both the secondary and primary literature. The nominal turning points that mark these three phases include the emergence of Hamas (1988), the claiming of an activist mantle (the mid-to-late 1990s), and its becoming the official discourse (i.e., the establishment) by winning the 2006 Palestinian Legislative Council elections.
INOVAÇÃO EDUCACIONAL E RECURSOS DIDÁTICOS NO TRABALHO DOCENTE
Authors: Oliveira Maria Rita Neto Sales
Published: May 2021

Discute-se inovação educacional, evidenciando-se a importância do seu tratamento na atualidade. Defende-se que o trabalho na educação implica caráter teleológico e é com esse reconhecimento que se pode tratar de inovações na área. Dentro disso, tem-se por objetivo contribuir para a compreensão do caráter inovador ou não de recursos didáticos no trabalho docente. Com esse objetivo, o texto contém uma reflexão de caráter teórico sobre a temática. Essa inclui dados de estudo integrativo exploratório, ao qual se acrescentou estudo dos áudios, vídeos e textos que compuseram o n. 1 de 2020 da revista on-line Educação Básica em Foco. Com base nesses estudos, abordam-se concepções sobre inovação, assumindo-se a posição dialética pela qual as inovações educacionais devem estar a serviço de finalidades de transformação, nos âmbitos individual e coletivo. A partir dessa posição e pelas conclusões dos estudos mencionados, identificam-se recursos didáticos potencialmente inovadores no trabalho docente: as práticas colaborativas, dialógicas e o uso crítico das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação (TDIC’s). Neste último caso, discute-se também o seu uso na situação da pandemia pelo coronavírus. Conclui-se que os recursos didáticos assumem caráter inovador ou não ao se aproximarem mais ou menos daquelas finalidades, considerando-se os limites dessa condição, no interior das contradições societárias. Finalmente, levanta-se a questão da inclusão digital como um direito.

Authors: Lima Natália Valadares , Cunha Daisy Moreira
Published: May 2021

Este artigo objetiva analisar o Qualification and Credit Framework, enquanto dispositivo voltado para o reconhecimento e certificação de saberes construídos na/pela experiência de trabalho no âmbito da Inglaterra. Para tal, realizamos pesquisas bibliográfica e documental, nas quais se buscou identificar as formas e instrumentos adotados para o reconhecimento e validação de saberes adotados no QCF. Além disso, visando aprofundar sobre a configuração do processo de reconhecimento de saberes, analisamos a estrutura dos referenciais para avaliação, bem como os instrumentos para a certificação da profissão de azulejista no país. A partir da discussão proposta, constatamos que o processo de avaliação e reconhecimento de saberes na Inglaterra constitui-se enquanto coleta de documentação comprovatória das competências dos sujeitos, orientada por critérios de avaliações que procuram listar todas as habilidades e conhecimentos considerados necessários para determinada profissão. Por fim, concluímos que a forma como se organiza o processo de reconhecimento de saberes pauta-se nos pressupostos da psicologia behaviorista, que pressupõe que as competências dos trabalhadores podem ser desveladas por meio da observação e questionamento aos trabalhadores, deixando de lado as imprevisibilidades do trabalho e o potencial criativo do trabalhador.

Interlingual conotative anthroponyms in modern Ukrainian media space
Authors: Lebed Iu. , Radomska L.
Published: May 2021

The study of proper names, presented in the style of mass communication, realizes the identification of both general trends in the development of the national literary language, and specific, inherent in mass media speech. The specifics of connotative apronyms in the modern Ukrainian media space are analyzed in the work, their characteristic features, peculiarities of creation and using are determined on concrete samples. The urgency of the work is determined, on the one hand, by the need for systematic analysis of modern media broadcasting, on the other – the need to supplement and clarify theoretical information about conotonymy as a universal phenomenon. Connotation as a process of acquiring new meanings by proper names is a phenomenon that is especially common among anthroponyms, especially personal names and poetonyms. According to the mechanism of connotative meaning formation, motivated and unmotivated proper names are distinguished, which are formed on the basis of metaphor, metonymy and paraphrase. The conclusion about the usual character and considerable prevalence of interlingual conotonyms in modern Ukrainian media texts is made. The main feature of connotative toponyms is their ability to intensify the meaning, to wit to emphasize a specific sema from the general meaning of the proper name.
Comportamiento de los precios de exportación de productos manufacturados: México, 1980-1994
Authors: Graf Noriega Juan Pablo
Published: May 2021

Existe un consenso teórico que establece que los precios de expropiación de manufacturas para países como México se encuentran determinados exógenamente para los productores. Sin embargo existe muy poca evidencia empírica que sustente esta afirmación. Este trabajo pretende hacer una contribución al tema analizando algunos precios de exportación de productos manufacturados Mexicanos. La construcción de series de tiempo al nivel de productos específicos que aquí se presenta constituye un avance metodológico importante que permite hacer una prueba de esta hipótesis. Si bien para la mayoría de los productos que se analizan se comprueba la validez de esta hipótesis, también se encuentra que algunos importantes exportadores han logrado establecerse en los mercados de exportación de manera que pueden controlar el precio de sus transacciones, ya sea porque han logrado diferenciar su producto o porque sus volúmenes de ventas los colocan como principales competidores en los mercados. Se muestra también que los resultados obtenidos son similares a países similares a México como es el caso de la República de Corea. Finalmente, los hallazgos estadísticos indican que no parece que hayan ocurrido cambios en el proceso de formación de precios de exportación después de la liberalización comercial.
El efecto de la política monetaria sobre el comportamiento de los bancos comerciales: El mercado "lechero" en México
Authors: Martínez Trigueros Lorenza
Published: May 2021

Con base en los cambios recientes en la regla de intervención del Banco de México, el presente documento analiza el efecto de implementar un mercado interbancario de créditos para cuadrar los balances resultantes en la cuenta del sistema de pagos, después del cierre del día. Se muestra que, abrir un mercado de créditos después de conocer los choques exógenos sobre la demanda de dinero diaria conduce a un Pareto superior. Mas aún, el segundo mejor se alcanza cuando la regla de intervención del Banco Central consiste en ofrecer créditos o depósitos para saldar la cuenta del sistema bancario completo. Se muestra que, imponer una tasa punitiva para sobregiros a los bancos comerciales mayor que la tasa activa, es suficiente para evitar que los bancos se sobregiren voluntariamente. Una conclusión importante de este artículo es que los frecuentes sobregiros registrados durante 1994 no fueron debidos a un problema del mercado “lechero”, sino que podrían estar más cercanamente relacionados con las características de la política cambiaria vigente.

Published: May 2021

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become procedure of choice for treatment of symptomatic gallstone
[1] disease . Even though it is a safe procedure occasionally it can be difcult and requires conversion to open
cholecystectomy for various problems faced during surgery. Preoperative prediction of difcult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and likelihood of
conversion to open cholecystectomy will avoid such complications and overall cost of treatment.
Aim: To evaluate the clinico-radiological factors predicting difcult laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Methods: This was a prospective study conducted from October 2018 to November 2020. Total of 101 patients meeting inclusion criteria
undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. Various clinical, radiological and biochemical parameters and intraoperative difculties during surgery were recorded. The statistical analysis was done using chi-square test and ANOVA test.
Results: The parameters such as sex, age, duration of disease, co-morbid disease, previous history of cholecystitis, palpable gall bladder, BMI,
TLC, thickness of gall bladder, largest stone size and impacted stone are found statistically signicant in predicting difcult laparoscopic
cholecystectomy and conversion to open cholecystectomy preoperatively.
Conclusion: Difcult laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be predicted preoperatively even with a good clinical judgement whereas both clinical
and radiological parameters provide a better preoperative prediction of difcult cholecystectomy so that the surgeon can prepared in advance for
the complications.

Authors: Agrawal Garima
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices have remained an indispensable part of the cataract surgery
armamentarium now for decades. Their use has been for forming the anterior chamber and protection of the corneal
endothelium. Viscodissection and viscodelineation have been described by authors . We designed a study to evaluate the usefulness of
ophthalmic viscosurgical device procedures in our phacoemulsication cases .
Aim: The study documents the use of ophthalmic viscosurgical device procedures as an added step to facilitate cataract removal.
Methods: Twenty ve consecutive cases of cataract with nuclear sclerosis one or two withor without any grade of posterior subcapsular
opacication were enrolled. The cases were performed by a single operator. Phacoemulsication was performed as per protocol. Ophthalmic
viscosurgical device procedures were performed as an additional step. Subjective and objective assessments were done post operatively.
Results: The use of ophthalmic viscosurgical device procedures reduced the total phaco energy used per case.
Discussion: Ophthalmic viscosurgical device procedures are advocated as an adjunct to power modulations to reduce the total phaco energy used
per case.
Conclusion: In the era of increasing sophistication ophthalmic viscosurgical device procedures represent an exciting paradigm shift towards
minimalization and efcacy.
EXPERIENCE OF EVALUATION OF PATIENTS OF OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE BY SONOGRAPHY AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN EASTERN INDIA
Authors: Prasad Santosh Kumar , Nupur Nupur , Pathak Akshit , Thakur Indra Shekhar , Prasad Vijay Shankar
Published: May 2021

INTRODUCTION: Jaundice means yellow due to the yellowish discolouration of skin, sclera, and mucous membrane
seen in jaundice caused by bilirubin pigment. It is divided in to two forms obstructive(surgical) and non- obstructive
(non-surgical). AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate patients of obstructive jaundice by sonography and magnetic resonance
cholangiopancreatography and compare the reporting and ndings by both the modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross sectional
observational study done from November 2018 to October 2020 and consists of 32 patients who had clinical jaundice and consented to being
subjected to both ultrasound and MRCP. OBSERVATIONS:Both USG and MRCP were able to detect extrahepatic CBD dilatation equally in 25
patients. In 5(15.6%) patients USG and MRI both demonstrated intrahepatic mass causing obstruction at the level of conuence of right and left
hepatic duct or CHD. Ultrasonography was able to detect the intrinsic mass of the extrahepatic common bile duct in 2(6.2%) patients out of 32
patients in our study population. MRCP could detect the same in 6(18.7%) patients. In our study narrowing of CBD with stricture formation and
upstream dilatation of biliary tree was identied in 10(31.2%) patients on MRCP. Ultrasound could diagnose the same in one patient. Both USG
and MRCP were able to detect pancreatic head mass as well as pseudocyst. CONCLUSION: The accuracy of MRCP was found to be
comparable to that of ERCP for diagnosis of etiology for obstructive jaundice. MRCP allows better lesion characterization and assessment.
However, the patchy availability of MR machines become the main achilles heel for the surgeons as well as the radiologists. Hence the valuable
role of the omnipresent ultrasonography become immense.
STUDY ON FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF TIBIAL PLATEAU FRACTURES TREATED WITH LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE
Authors: Kumar M. Ganesh , Sivakumar M.
Published: May 2021

Proximal tibial fractures, one of the commonest intra articular fractures. Incidence of these fractures is increasing due to road trafc accidents. At
the same time surgical treatment options for the same are also being modied continuously. Any fracture around the weight bearing joint like knee
joint is of paramount importance as it would result in signicant morbidity. Hence the treatment of proximal tibial fractures has become a challenge
for the orthopaedic surgeons. Methods: During the study period 31 patients were treated with locking compression plate on lateral side through
anterolateral approach for varying types of tibial plateau fractures. Out of 31, 28 patients were available at nal follow up. The functional and
radiological outcome assessed with Rasmussen scoring system. At the end of study stability of the knee joint assessed with standard stability tests.
Results: Most of the patients were sustained injury following major road trafc accidents and most of them were males. At nal follow up the
functional outcome was excellent in 65 % of patients and good to fair in 35% of patients. No patient had poor functional outcome, though 10% of
patients had poor radiological outcome. At the end of study 3 patients had posterior laxity, 2 patients had lateral meniscal injury and 4 patients had
varus laxity. Conclusion: The functional outcome of tibial plateau fractures treated with single lateral locking compression plate was satisfactory
in all our patients. All patients had acceptable clinical outcome though few patients had poor radiological outcome. We found 32% of patients with
instability at the end of our study

Lattice Cryptography based Geo-encrypted Contact Tracing for Infection Detection
Authors: Dhiman Mayank , Gupta Nitin , Gupta Ujjawal , Kumar Yashwant
Published: May 2021

The world has already witnessed many epidemic
diseases in the past years, like H1N1, SARS, and Ebola etc.
Now, Covid-19 has also been added to list, which is declared
as pandemic by World Health Organization. One of the most
commonly used method to tackle the spread of such diseases
is using mobile applications to perform contact tracing of the
infected person. However, contact tracing applications involve
transmitting sensitive location based data of the infected person
to the government servers. Therefore, recently this has raised a lot
of concerns regarding privacy of the infected persons. This work
proposes a light-weight and secure encryption scheme, based on
location based encryption which can be used to transfer the
location data to the server without compromising its security.
The main aim of the work is design an algorithm in such a way
that the encrypted transferred data can only be decrypted at
the server and in-between data leakage can be prevented. This
work proposes to use location based encryption combined with
Learning with Errors problems in Lattices, which can provide a
solution to privacy concerns in contact tracing, which will even
be applicable in the post quantum period.
An Online Robot Teaching Method using Static Hand Gestures and Poses
Authors: Sun Digang , Zhang Ping , Chen Mingxuan , Chen Jiaxin
Published: May 2021

With an increasing number of robots are employed in manufacturing, a human-robot interaction method that can teach robots in a natural, accurate, and rapid manner is needed. In this paper, we propose a novel human-robot interface based on the combination of static hand gestures and hand poses. In our proposed interface, the pointing direction of the index finger and the orientation of the whole hand are extracted to indicate the moving direction and orientation of the robot in a fast-teaching mode. A set of hand gestures are designed according to their usage in humans' daily life and recognized to control the position and orientation of the robot in a fine-teaching mode. We employ the feature extraction ability of the hand pose estimation network via transfer learning and utilize attention mechanisms to improve the performance of the hand gesture recognition network. The inputs of hand pose estimation and hand gesture recognition networks are monocular RGB images, making our method independent of depth information input and applicable to more scenarios. In the regular shape reconstruction experiments on the UR3 robot, the mean error of the reconstructed shape is less than 1 mm, which demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of our method.
Design analysis of 2D graphene oxide films integrated with microring resonators for FWM
Authors: Moss David
Published: May 2021

We theoretically investigate and optimize the performance of four-wave mixing (FWM) in microring resonators (MRRs) integrated with two-dimensional (2D) layered graphene oxide (GO) films. Owing to the interaction between the MRRs and the highly nonlinear GO films as well as to the resonant enhancement effect, the FWM efficiency in GO-coated MRRs can be significantly improved. Based on previous experiments, we perform detailed analysis for the influence of the GO film parameters and MRR coupling strength on the FWM conversion efficiency (CE) of the hybrid MRRs. By optimizing the device parameters to balance the trade-off between the Kerr nonlinearity and loss, we achieve a high CE enhancement of ~18.6 dB relative to the uncoated MRR, which is ~8.3 dB higher than previous experimental results. The influence of photo-thermal changes in the GO films as well as variations in the MRR parameters such as the ring radius and waveguide dispersion on the FWM performance is also discussed. These results highlight the significantly improved FWM performance that can be achieved in MRRs incorporating GO films and provide a guide for optimizing their FWM performance.
Changes and Developments in the Linguistic Landscape of Present-Day Crimea
Authors: Bocale Paola
Published: May 2021

Following Crimea’s incorporation into Russia in March 2014, the Crimean parliament adopted a new constitution granting official status to Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar. Despite the official multi-ethnicity and multilingualism of Crimea now constitutionally acknowledged, however, there is reason to believe that the formally proclaimed equality of the three languages has not translated into equality in practice. Among the areas where the inequality in language promotion and support is most noticeable, language education policy and language use in public place play a special role.
Aspetto verbale e referenza nominale
Authors: Gebert Lucyna
Published: May 2021

The paper attempts to examine the relation between the verbal aspect in the Slavic languages and the referential status of nominal arguments of the predicate. As is well known, Slavic languages (except Bulgarian and Macedonian) have not developed articles as a grammatical category. It is suggested that in addition to the well-known means of conveying referential information in these articleless languages – such as word order, use of demonstrative/indefinite pronouns, restrictive relative clauses, case alternations and prosody – the verbal aspect also should be taken into account.
La deissi personale e spaziale nelle epigrafi glagolitiche dell’Istria e della Dalmazia
Authors: Manzelli Gianguido
Published: May 2021

This paper deals with person and spatial deixis in the Glagolitic epigraphs of Istria and Dalmatia collected by Branko Fučić (1920-1999). The focus is mainly on spatial deixis offering interesting insights as far as the evolution of the Chakavian variety of Croatian across the past centuries is concerned. A statistical survey shows a significant difference between the old forms and the deictic system of modern Croatian. This kind of evolutionary development in the Croatian deictic system can be explained in terms of a semantic shift due to the obsolescence of the original proximal deictic se.
Strategie di formazione delle parole in varietà iniziali di polacco L2
Authors: Saturno Jacopo
Published: May 2021

This paper describes word formation as observed in the earliest stages of L2 Polish. 31 L1 Italian beginning learners took part in a 14-hour Polish course, which was recorded, transcribed and morphologically tagged in order to correlate learner output with the relevant input features.
After 4:30 hours, the learners could produce new words using the derivational suffix -k-, which in the input can be found in the majority of feminine nouns. This finding suggests that after minimal exposure, learners can identify the morphological structure of a class of nouns and reproduce it in their output.
Prodolžat’/prodolžit’: una strana coppia
Authors: Zoričić Nika
Published: May 2021

The aim of the present article is to investigate the aspectual status of the Russian verbs prodolzhat’ and prodolzhit’. It is shown that the form prodolzhal is very frequently used in the past tense as a perfective verb with inchoative value in sequences of single events. Furthermore, the diachronic analysis of the examples reveals that, in the past tense, the form prodolzhit’ until the 1990s was much less commonly used than the form prodolzhat’. Taking into account these results, in the article is hypothesized that the form prodolzhat’ in the past tense may be considered a biaspectual verb.
Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for adoption of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the US Construction Industry
Authors: Sorce James , Issa Raja R. A.
Published: May 2021

The global economic impact of the construction industry cannot be overstated. The use of information and communications technology (ICT) offers a potential for massive cost savings and increases in productivity. Unfortunately, the US construction industry lags behind most other US industries in the implementation of ICT. This research sets out to understand what factors improve the use and adoption of ICT in the US construction industry by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed by Davis (1989). The TAM recognized a relationship with actual use of technology based on the premise of behavioral intent (BI) and intended use and that user perceived usefulness (PU) leads to intended use, which translates to actual use. The TAM also recognizes that user perceived ease of use (PEOU) supports the premise of PU enhancing intended use by increasing the PU. This research used independent variables from previous research to serve as a basis for establishing a benchmark for US construction firms. Seventy-six US construction professionals were surveyed for this study. The results showed that the US construction industry follows the TAM model in that if the technology is perceived to be useful it will be adopted, and this seems to be supported by PEOU. Application of this extended TAM in the US construction industry will help companies predict the successful adoption and use of ICT, allowing managers to make more informed decisions in the adoption process.

The article examines the theoretical approaches of Russian and foreign authors to the content of the term «cash flow» and their classification. An analysis of the approaches of different researchers and the legal framework for the organization and the reflection of cash flows in the accounting of the enterprise allowed us to conclude that there is no balanced term that would contribute to the formation of a high-quality information basis for financial management purposes. The proposed approach to grouping cash flows from the position of their maximum and minimum values for the purpose of forming optimal balances, sufficient volumes for making payments, effective planning not only in the short-term, but also in the medium-term will allow pur-poseful accounting, analysis and planning of cash flows from various types of operations in the course of the activity of a commercial organization.

This study assessed the Impact of Urbanization on Agricultural Land in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. The data collected were population figures and land use for three Epoch (1997, 2007 and 2017). The satellite images were sourced from the National Center for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System, Jos. In the analysis, cross change detection analysis and overlay analysis using ArcGIS 9.0 was performed to detect where land-use change has occurred and which type of land use agricultural land has transformed too. The GIS analysis revealed that there is an increase in settlement and a decrease in Agricultural land from 1997 – 2017. It also revealed that 99.51ha of agricultural land use has been converted to settlement between 1997 and 2017. The results reveal that urbanization has significant effects on Agricultural Land in the study area and these effects include; decreasing agricultural land, decreasing agricultural activities and decrease in farm size. If the growth in the population of Makurdi LGA continues unchecked, agricultural land will be significantly depleted in the future. The study recommended that there should be effective law and policy to control population growth sustainably to minimize the negative impact of urbanization in the study area. Also, urban agriculture should be encouraged to sustain the food supply in urban areas.

In this paper we extended (or generalized) the notions studied in [Carpintero, C. Moreno, J. and Rosas, E., Some New type of decomposition of continuity, submitted]. Using the notion of µ-regular open set and µ-semi regular open set, we introduce the concept of locally µ-regular semi closed sets and locally µ-semi regular semi closed sets and give a new theory of decomposition of continuity and some weak forms of continuity are studied. Also we improve some recent results due by [Roy, B. and Sen, R., On decomposition of weak continuity, Creat. Math. Inform, 24 (2015), No. 1-2, 83–88].

Let G = (V, E) be an undirected simple graph of order n with m edges without isolated vertices. Further, let d1 ≥ d2 ≥ · · · ≥ dn be vertex degree sequence of G. General Randic index of graph ´ G = (V, E) is defined by Rα = X (i,j)∈E (didj ) α, where α ∈ R − {0}. We consider the case when α = −1 and obtain upper bound for R−1.

Authors: Alimohammadirokni Mohammad , Emadlou Atefeh , Yuan Jingxue (Jessica)
Published: May 2021

In this study, a resource-based view and positioning strategy have been applied to discuss the role of gastronomy in destinations from a strategic management perspective. San Antonio, Texas was designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy in 2017, making it an appropriate case
for this study. Using document analysis, the gastronomy resources of San Antonio were identified as the key success factors in the strategic analysis and classified as facilities, activities, events, and organizations. The article highlights how the city's resources influenced UNESCO's selection
of San Antonio as a Creative City, and how this membership has led to entrepreneurship, the development of local initiatives, the growth of sustainable food, and economic benefits, all of which are UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goals. The findings reveal that to benefit the most from the
available resources, specific marketing strategies are required to enhance the attractiveness of a destination. Moreover, differentiating a destination through positioning is recognized as a crucial strategy to keep ahead of competitors. With a focus on gastronomy-related strategies, this
study provides important directions and implications for policy makers, researchers, and entrepreneurs.

Published: May 2021

In his book Bland Fanatics, Pankaj Mishra reveals that in his thoughts on British imperialism, he is, of course, very much a made member of the moral majority. Whatever British policy, British imperialism was, Mishra believes, evil in its consequences. But reviewer David Berlinski argues that the truth about the British Empire is, as one might expect, very large.

Published: May 2021

Understanding and improving greenhouses requires the analysis and modelling of energy and mass exchange phenomena. The mastery of all these physical mechanisms can make it possible to propose technological solutions to control the greenhouse climate. This study presents an analysis and simulation of air flow, temperature and humidity patterns ,in ½-ha multi-span greenhouse with oblique side walls,covered by insect proof nets.The site is located in the coastal area of southern Morocco. The fundamental calculation of climatic conditions is based on CFD, wich uses the mass, momentum and energy conservation equations. The dynamic influence of the insect screens and tomato crop on airflow movement, was described ,using the concept of the porous medium approach proposed by Darcy and Forchheimer.The coupling of convective and radiative exchanges at the plastic roof cover is considered. A good agreement was observed between the measured and simulated values for inside air temperatures and relative humidity. Insect screens significantly reduced airflow and increased thermal gradients inside the greenhouse. The results clearly showed the heterogeneity of the greenhouse’s internal climate, which infects agricultural production in quantity and quality
