Authors: Rajab Husam , Ebrahim Mussa , Cinkler Tibor
Published: June 2021

Recently, one of the most common needs of people are to be connected to the Internet anytime, anywhere, anyhow. The Internet of Things is a materialized paradigm in which everyday objects are implemented with Internet connectivity, enabling them to collect and interchange information. As energy is expected to be more expensive, the energy supply is often not available for IoT devices, the low power wide area networks attempt to be the solution to this problem. LoRaWAN provides radio coverage over long distances by enhancing the reach of the base stations via adapting transmission rates, transmission power, modulation, duty cycles, etc. This paper aims to decrease the power consumption using machine learning and deep neural network by applying support vector regression and deep neural network algorithms, which can support to extend the battery lifetime.

Published: June 2021

Currently, there are only 2 extant species of hippos including common (Hippopotamus amphibius) and pygmy hippos (Choeropsis liberiensis) . But in prehistoric times, there were several species. During  Pleistocene these species were known to migrate to Java Island from Asian Continent and the species was Hippopotamus sivalensis spp. In this regard, this study aimed to model the habitat of H. sivalensis spp., ecology, and biodiversity of Hippopotamus sivalensis spp. based on the fossil record. The model was developed based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method using the R statistical package. The results showed that there were 7 populations of H. sivalensis spp. that lived at various altitudes with an average of 177 m above sea level (95% CI : 123-232 m). According to PCA, there were at least 2 separate populations of H. sivalensis spp. One population occupies the forest while another occupies a habitat close to the coast. Currently the habitat for H. sivalensis spp. already changed. Based on habitat modeling, H. sivalensis spp. inhabit streams with submerged aquatic plants and shrubs and trees growing along river banks.

Emoções docentes em relação ao processo de inclusão escolar
Authors: Faria Paula Maria Ferreira de , Camargo Denise de
Published: June 2021

RESUMO O artigo apresenta uma pesquisa cujo principal objetivo foi compreender as emoções do professor em relação ao processo de educação inclusiva e ao aluno em inclusão a partir dos referenciais da Teoria Histórico-Cultural de Vigotski. O estudo, de caráter qualitativo, foi realizado com três professoras dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola municipal da periferia do Município de Curitiba. A análise dos dados foi norteada pelos princípios da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (1977) e envolveu o uso de entrevistas estruturadas, semiestruturadas e a produção de registros fotográficos. Os dados foram categorizados segundo as vivências das participantes como alunas, como docentes e em relação à inclusão de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais na classe regular. Os resultados apontam, apesar da presença de emoções agradáveis, como alegria e satisfação, o predomínio de emoções desagradáveis relacionadas à docência inclusiva, como insegurança, frustração e pena. O estudo indica a maior valorização dos aspectos cognitivos, minimizando a importância da emoção no processo de inclusão escolar. A pesquisa revela que as emoções têm sido desvalorizadas inclusive pelas próprias docentes que, ao desconhecê-las, privam-se da possibilidade de utilizá-las como promotoras de crescimento pessoal e transformação do trabalho docente.
A representatividade racial na função de diretora nos Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil do município de Curitiba em 2016: um limite para a democracia?
Authors: Silva Marcus Quintanilha da , Cruzetta Danieli D’Aguiar
Published: June 2021

RESUMO O presente artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a relação entre educação e democracia a partir da análise da desigualdade racial na representatividade de diretoras e diretores de/dos Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil (CMEIs) de Curitiba no ano de 2016. A abordagem metodológica consistiu em uma análise quantitativa na perspectiva de Selz (2015), entendendo que um conjunto de informações numéricas precisa ser nutrido de uma base teórica que possa explicar o fenômeno analisado. A discussão foi pautada na discussão da forma de provimento por indicação da função de diretora de CMEI e, para a compreensão da desigualdade racial na função, o argumento foi tecido a partir das teorias sobre desigualdades sociais que tratam sobre a estratificação, o uso de credenciais para distinção e as desigualdades no mercado de trabalho. Os resultados evidenciaram que a ocupação das direções de CMEIs tem maior proporção de autodeclarados brancos em relação à população paranaense. Como reflexão na relação entre educação e democracia, entendeu-se que a indicação como provimento da função de diretora pode potencializar a desigualdade racial já existente no magistério pelas diferentes carreiras vigentes em Curitiba, além de impor obstáculos para a construção da democracia na comunidade escolar.

RESUMO Em Isoptera as características do tubo digestivo dos operários e pseudo-operários são normalmente utilizadas em sistemática e filogenia. Pesquisas têm confirmado o valor do modelo espiral e morfologia do tubo digestivo dos operários para a sistemática em cupins superiores, principalmente na família Termitidae. Assim, este trabalho objetivou descrever a histologia do canal alimentar de operários de Nasutitermes coxipoensis (Holmgren) por meio da microscopia de luz, visando obter informações que contribuam para a sistemática desse gênero. Operários de N. coxipoensis foram imobilizados a baixa temperatura (-4o C) para a retirada do canal alimentar, o qual foi fixado em Boüin aquoso por 24h, incluído em “paraplast”, e os cortes corados pela Hematoxilina-Eosina (H-E) e Tricrômico de Mallory. Em geral, as características histológicas encontradas para o canal alimentar de operários de N. coxipoensis foram consistentes com aquelas observadas em várias espécies de cupins validando o método usado. No entanto, foram evidenciadas diferenças na morfologia das células epiteliais e tipos de dobras do epitélio na região do estomodeu, na disposição e número dos ninhos, bem como a presença da membrana peritrófica na região do mesêntero. Portanto, essas características podem ser utilizadas como critérios auxiliares para a diferenciação de espécies entre cupins do gênero Nasutitermes.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT For the Caatinga passion fruit (Passiflora cincinnata Mast.), there are no indications of varieties specific for the Brazilian Savanna conditions, as well as conduction techniques that make it possible to express a greater yield potential. This study aimed to evaluate the yield and quality of CPEF2220 and CBAF2334 populations in espalier and trellis conduction systems. A completely randomized design was used, in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, with three replications of four plants per plot. The fruit yield and physical characteristics were evaluated throughout the production cycle. The average yield was 8.0 kg plant-1 (3.5-14.9 kg plant-1) and the average number of fruits per plant was 139.1 (55.8-283.5), with average pulp yield of 29 %. There was a tendency to increase the number and yield of fruits for the CPEF2220 population conducted in the espalier system. The plant survival rate was 41 % (CPEF2220) and 87.5 % (CBAF2334), with a higher adaptation to the Brazilian Savanna conditions, while the CPEF2220 population presented a higher yield potential. Reductions in mass, longitudinal and equatorial diameter and fruit shape were observed throughout the harvest, with some exceptions for the espalier system, which showed more elongated fruits. The trellis system showed a greater yield potential for the parent populations of the passion fruit BRS Sertão Forte, for the study conditions.

ABSTRACT Some factors may influence the in vitro culture of native orchids, especially the culture medium, sealing system and light condition. This study aimed to evaluate the addition of banana pulp and peel in the formulation of culture media, sealing system and irradiance, in the in vitro growth of Cattleya nobilior Rchb. f. A completely randomized design was used in a factorial scheme with five culture media [Murashige & Skoog supplemented or not with banana pulp or peel (100 or 200g L-1)], two light conditions [3,000 K LED lamps (43 µmol m-2 s-1 or 86 µmol m-2 s-1)] and two sealing systems (natural and conventional ventilation), with six replicates of one vial each. The plant height, diameter of the largest pseudobulb, length of the largest root and of the largest leaf, fresh weight and number of leaves, roots and shoots were evaluated. The use of both the banana pulp and peel as additives in the culture medium formulation promoted the C. nobilior growth. The natural ventilation system increased the plant height, pseudobulb diameter and leaf length, while the conventional system promoted tillering.

Aim: Esophagus is the most frequently involved gastrointestinal segment in systemic sclerosis (SS). Gastroesophageal reflux, which occurs with the motility disorder caused by esophageal involvement, has an important place in the course of the disease due to many local and systemic complications. In this study, we investigated the demographic features, endoscopic, manometric, and 24-hour pH monitoring findings of patients with SS.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-six patients with SS who presented with dysphagia or heartburn complaints were identified. Patients' files, endoscopic, manometric, and 24-hour ph monitoring findings of the esophagus were examined.

Results: All of the patients were symptomatic, 96.1% were women. 46.1% of them applied with the complaint of heartburn and 53.9% with the complaint of dysphagia. The frequency of esophagitis was found to be significantly higher (p = 0.005). Pathological reflux was detected in 90% of the patients who underwent 24-hour pH monitoring and it was significantly higher (p = 0.013).

Conclusion: Esophageal involvement is a hallmark manifestation of SS and typically occurs secondary to heartburn and dysphagia.In our society, the incidence of GERD and GERD-related complications is high in SS patients with esophageal symptoms. It is important to refer these patients to experienced gastroenterology centers to be evaluated primarily by endoscopic and then other diagnostic methods.

Published: June 2021

The silent period is most frequently used to describe the period of second language (L2) acquisition where the learner displays no obvious language output. In Hong Kong, ethnic minority (EM) preschoolers face challenges on home, school and community levels in learning Chinese as a second language, meaning that for those in the silent period, it may particularly difficult to begin speaking Chinese, leading to slower language development. A support service was established, targeting EM preschoolers in Hong Kong who are experiencing the silent period in learning Chinese as a second language. Volunteer teachers conduct individual, one-to-one training with these preschoolers at their homes or at community centers. This study aims to explore the approximate length of the silent period for EM preschoolers in learning Chinese as a second language, comparing the effect of receiving the support as opposed to none, and identify perceived effective practices in the targeted individual support, using a mixed methods approach. Analysis on speaking scores of the Language Progression Framework (LPF) revealed that the average silent period without support lasted for approximately two years, which can be shortened by half a year with the support service. A case study on a preschooler and a semi-structured focus group interview with volunteer teachers revealed perceived effective practices including interesting activities and teaching materials, opportunities for social interaction with peers, establishing rapport between teachers and their preschoolers, and a positive attitude from parents in supporting their children in learning Chinese. Implications for EM preschoolers learning Chinese, integration with the local community, teaching practices and policy making are discussed.

Legal English has the characteristics of formality, accuracy, ambiguity, professional, etc. These characteristics have made it more difficult for translation of the proper nouns in legal English. However, due to not paying enough attention to translation of the proper nouns in legal English, translators engaged in legal translation often make a lot of mistakes during the process of translation. Generally speaking, names of people or places are transliterated, while names of institutions or books are semantic translated. Transliteration should follow the principle of conformity to the original and the principle of convention, the former is mainly applied to proper nouns of non-English origin, while the latter concerning established wording or phrasing. In order to translate the proper nouns in legal English better, firstly, we should be aware of the difficulties of translation of the proper nouns in legal English; secondly, we should try our best to accumulate extensive legal knowledge and improve our translation skills; thirdly, we should make full use of reference books and master the skills of Internet application; last but not the least, we should ask for advice from others.
A Study of the Chinese-English Translation of Culture-specific Items in Publicity Texts of Guangzhou’s Intangible Cultural Heritage
Authors: Zheng Shaohui
Published: June 2021

Intangible cultural heritage is the core of Guangzhou’s cultural “soft power”. The Chinese-English translation of intangible cultural heritage is an important way to promote Guangzhou’s culture and to arouse the awareness of protecting intangible cultural heritage in the whole society. The culture-specific items in the publicity texts of intangible cultural heritage reflect the charm and heterogeneity of Guangzhou’s culture. This paper proposes that while translating cultural-specific items of Guangzhou’s intangible cultural heritage, in order to ensure that the translation can retain the cultural characteristics of the source language and be understood and accepted by the target language readers, translators should combine the translation strategies of Domestication and Foreignization and flexibly adopt seven methods, i.e., literal translation, literal translation plus transliteration, literal translation plus explanation, transliteration plus explanation, transliteration plus category words, transliteration plus intra-text explanation and transliteration plus free translation. Suggestions are also given aiming to provide reference for the researches and practice of the translation of intangible cultural heritage in Guangzhou and other cities. It is also hoped that this study can provide some implications for pedagogical application and be helpful for those who follow closely the translation of intangible cultural heritage.

Preventive Program of Psychological and Pedagogical Support of Students at the Stage of Preparation for the Final Certification “STOP-Stress”
Authors: Varlakova J.V.
Published: June 2021

The preventive program of psychological and pedagogical support of students at the stage of preparation for the final certification “STOP-stress” helps to create a positive emotional background, the development of positive thinking and stress resistance, which increases the chances of graduating school students to successfully pass the final certification in the form of the Main State Exam / Unified State Exam and further professional self-realization students. The program presents a model of psychological and pedagogical support of students aged 14 to 17 years at the stage of graduation from secondary (9th grades) and senior (11th grades) schools. The program of training sessions “STOP-stress” was developed with the aim of solving a problematic situation that arises among graduate students during the period of self-preparation for the final exams. This situation is associated with an annual increase in the level of anxiety and emotional and mental stress in the process of intense mental stress (personality component), low ability for self-organization and mobilization of cognitive processes in a stressful situation (cognitive component), lack of skills in constructive re-sponse to stress and with a low level of self-control their emotions and regulation of their state as a whole (procedural component). This, in the end, affects the general psychological readiness to pass the final certification. The developed program for the prevention of exam stress according to the principle of operation of the “STOP tool” contributes to an increase in the level of mobilization and the development of psychological stability of graduate students. The program includes a set of exercises and problem situations aimed at: developing psychologically stable qualities and constructive behavior models, generally contributing to a decrease in the level of anxiety (personal component), as well as increasing the skills of self-control and self-regulation (procedural component) and the ability to self-organize and activation of cognitive processes (cognitive component). The developed program can be useful to a number of different specialists: educational psychologists, social educa-tors, methodologists working in the field of education at the stage of teaching children in a general educational institution during their preparation for passing the final exams in the form of the Main State Exam / Unified State Exam.
The Program for the Prevention of Deviant Behavior in Primary School Students Using Folk Games
Authors: Zozulya G.A.
Published: June 2021

The program belongs to the preventive psychological and pedagogical direction. In this particular version, the program is aimed at preventive and psychocorrectional work with children using folk games. The phenomenon of folk play in the program is used as a technological resource in working with children to develop socialization, adaptive resources, communication skills, and prevention of deviant behavior. It can be applied to almost any school age. In folk games, the following psycho-emotional states are modeled and experienced in safe conditions: fear, aggression, resentment, rejection, power, and being chosen. It is an intensive and safe way to socialize and prevent deviance. If the play stage in the child’s life has not been worked out, then, getting a varied and complex experience of interpersonal communication and interaction in the game, the participant in the game is freed from the already acquired destructive stereotypes and clamps at the emotional and bodily lev-el. Game situations most successfully form the personal qualities set forth in the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of primary general education: benevolence, the ability to cooperate, find ways out of difficult situations, be responsible for their actions. This program involves a whole range of psycho-preventive measures, which are aimed not only at the individual psychologi-cal and pedagogical correction of the student’s personality, but also at restoring his social status in the peer group. The folk game, included in the psycho-preventive program as the main attribute, does not require additional material and technical costs and educational and methodological sup-port, but requires serious training on the part of a teacher-psychologist. Here, knowledge is needed about the psychological impact of folk games, the range of their application, age qualification, as well as the psychophysiological characteristics of children of this age in the selection of games, the psycho-emotional load of games, the order of alternation of games.

Functionalization of rGO that previously obtained by chemical reduction using hydrazine hydrate, has been done by changing its morphology into nanofiber with electrospinning technique and using PVA as a polymer matrix. The rGO nanofibers that had been formed were then characterized using Fourier Transformation-Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of C – C group and C = O group in nanofibers. SEM showed the change of nanofibers morphology which is marked by the increasing of fibres diameter and the hollow fibres become brighter. Furthermore, the effect of rGO concentration to nanofiber optical properties was confirmed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. According to this characterization, the absorbance of rGO/PVA nanofiber is decreased due to increased rGO concentration. The detail of optical properties of rGO is studied through complex refractive index and dielectric constant in which Kramers-Kronig transformation is then employed to calculate complex refractive index and complex dielectric constant. From the data, the optical properties of rGO/PVA nanofibers indicating that rGO/PVA nanofibers can be applied as transparent electrode an organic solar cell devices.

Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) inversion has been applied for reservoir analysis focused on the horizon carbonate Peutu and Belumai. Simultaneous inversion analysis is used to determine gas anomaly inside carbonate-rocks and it’s spread laterally around target zones. It is based on the fact that small Vpand Vs value changes are going to show the better anomaly to identify reservoir fluid content. The AVO inversion method applies angle gather data as the input and then it is inverted to produce P impedance (Zp) and S impedance (Zs). Zp and Zs are derived to produce Lambda-Rho and Mu-Rho that are sensitive to fluid and lithology. Value of Mu-Rho between 44–65 Gpa gr/cc while value of Lambda-Rho smaller than 10 Gpa gr/cc (for carbonate-rock filled by fluid). This research found that Lambda-Rho is the best parameter to show the existence of hydrocarbon in the case of gas. While Mu-Rho is the best parameter to show the differences in lithology.
