Authors: HOFSTATTER LAKSHMI JULIANE VALLIM , OLIVEIRA HAYDÉE TORRES DE
Published: March 2020

RESUMO: Esta pesquisa ocorreu na Caatinga baiana, imbricada a um curso de Educação Ambiental para professoras/es, objetivando melhor compreender os conflitos entre humanos e onças (Panthera onca e Puma concolor), e propor caminhos educativos para superá-los. Os dados foram coletados por questionários, entrevistas com caçadores, causos de onças e grupo focal. Evidenciou-se que o sentimento humano predominante em relação às onças é o medo, e que existem diferentes motivações para a sua caça. Entretanto, a difícil vida na Caatinga contribui para que elas sejam vistas pela comunidade como competidoras pelos recursos naturais. Indicamos uma educação sensibilizadora e contextualizada à realidade local, que busque soluções conjuntas para os conflitos.

The Future of Law Firms (and Lawyers) in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Davis Anthony E.
Published: March 2020

Abstract This article explores the future for lawyers and law firms in the light of the changes that Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is already bringing to the universe of legal services. Part I briefly describes some of the ways AI is already in use in ordinary life - from facial recognition, through medical diagnosis to translation services. Part II describes how AI is transforming what it means to provide legal services in six primary areas: litigation review; expertise automation; legal research; contract analytics; contract and litigation document generation; and predictive analytics. Part III explores who are the providers of these AI driven legal services - often non-lawyer legal service providers - and how these providers are replacing at least some of what clients have traditionally sought from lawyers. Part III also discusses the implications of all these changes both for the future role of lawyers individually, and in particular what services will clients still need lawyers to perform: judgment, empathy, creativity and adaptability. In turn, this Part examines what will these changes mean for the size, shape, composition and economic model of law firms, as well as the implications of these changes for legal education and lawyer training. Part IV identifies the principal legal, ethical, regulatory and risk management issues raised by the use of AI in the provision of legal services. Finally, in Part V the article considers who will be the likely providers of AI based services other than law firms: legal publishers, major accounting firms and venture capital funded businesses.
Designing Online Mediation: Does “Just Add Tech” Undermine Mediation’s Ownmost Aim?
Authors: Johnson David W.
Published: March 2020

Abstract The norms of dispute resolution began their development alongside human communication, literally thousands of years before the internet. Mediation emerged as a social system possessed of culture-specific norms and rules that express themselves to this day, in how this mediation operates as a profoundly human system of meaning. This article asks whether these thoroughly time-tested and -refined norms specific to mediation will port over, relatively intact, into virtual space. To be sure, the answer will be seen in how designers build and implement the virtual spaces and attendant automation technology. To do that optimally, however, designers first must identify, understand and respect the values, ethics and purpose embedded in these inter-generational norms.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Although sloping hydraulic jumps are frequent in energy dissipators, there are few studies regarding this type of phenomenon. Since the jump is accompanied by violent impacts and sudden variations of velocity and pressure, it is important to know the region where the phenomenon will occur, in order to make a safe and economic design possible. In this paper, a methodology for the determination of the start position of the sloping jump along a Creager spillway is introduced. It was verified that this position is a function of both the incident Froude number and the submergence factor.
Monitoring water content changes in a soil profile with TDR-probes at just three depths - How well does it work?
Authors: Hagenau Jens , Kaufmann Vander , Borg Heinz
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT TDR-probes are widely used to monitor water content changes in a soil profile (ΔW). Frequently, probes are placed at just three depths. This raises the question how well such a setup can trace the true ΔW. To answer it we used a 2 m deep high precision weighing lysimeter in which TDR-probes are installed horizontally at 20, 60 and 120 cm depth (one per depth). ΔW-data collected by weighing the lysimeter vessel were taken as the true values to which ΔW-data determined with the TDR-probes were compared. We obtained the following results: There is a time delay in the response of the TDR-probes to precipitation, evaporation, transpiration or drainage, because a wetting or drying front must first reach them. Also, the TDR-data are more or less point measurements which are then extrapolated to a larger soil volume. This frequently leads to errors. For these reasons TDR-probes at just three depths cannot provide reliable data on short term (e.g. daily) changes in soil water content due to the above processes. For longer periods (e.g. a week) the data are better, but still not accurate enough for serious scientific studies.

Published: March 2020

Resumo A educação é direito de todos, sendo papel do Estado garanti-la com qualidade, ainda que os parâmetros de qualidade sejam diferentes para os indivíduos. Para assegurar que os recursos sejam destinados a atividades educacionais, a Constituição Federal brasileira de 1988 determina percentuais mínimos de aplicação, assim como os fundos de manutenção do ensino, como o vigente Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (Fundeb). Portanto, este estudo verificou a influência de transferências intergovernamentais, enquanto característica financeira dos municípios, e dos valores repassados ao Fundeb, na qualidade da educação dos municípios das regiões brasileiras Norte e Nordeste. Assim, utilizou-se de modelo de regressão com dados em painel, para o período de 2007 a 2013, cujos resultados indicaram que a maioria das transferências intergovernamentais recebidas pelos municípios impactaram positivamente no desenvolvimento educacional. Além disso, destacou-se a importância dos recursos do Fundeb, ainda que com magnitude baixa. Entretanto, o ponto mais importante refere-se à contribuição expressiva do fato de o município receber a complementação financeira da União no Fundo, indicando que a premissa de minimizar as diversidades regionais através deste recurso tenha sido efetiva. Desse modo, a complementação financeira da União feita ao Fundeb foi de grande valia para equalizar as destoantes divergências existentes no setor educacional.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of diseases transmitted by Amblyomma ovale in 61 dogs monitored for three years through collections of ticks and blood, interviews, telemetry and camera traps in three areas of Serra do Mar State Park, Brazil. Blood samples were used to investigate infection by Rangelia vitalii by real-time TaqMan PCR and Rickettsia parkeri by IIFA. The collected ticks were submitted to conventional PCR to investigate the presence of R. parkeri . These data were compared with the monitoring results and interviews with the owners. Dogs considered as companion presented a risk of infection by R. parkeri strain Mata Atlantica 5.4 times higher than those not considered as companion (p = 0.009). Dogs that had at least one A. ovale collected during the campaigns had a 10 times higher risk of infection by R. parkeri strain Mata Atlantica than those who did not (p = 0.009). One dog positive for R. vitalii by real-time TaqMan PCR was parasitized by A. ovale frequently during monitoring. Sequenced ompaA - positive DNA samples had 100% identity of R. parkeri strain Mata Atlantica clone As106. From the findings, it is urgent to control domestic dogs around rainforests to reduce zoonoses transmission.

Published: March 2020

Abstract Serological screening of 199 serum samples from Dromedary camels—from different cities in Saudi Arabia—was performed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting antibodies against two cyst-forming coccidian parasites, namely Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum. Antibodies against T. gondii were detected in 68 (34.2%) samples, while those against N. caninum were present in 33 (16.6%) samples. The highest seroprevalence of T. gondii antibodies was reported in samples from Taif (51.2%), while the lowest seroprevalence was reported in samples from Riyadh and Hofuf (15.1%). The highest seroprevalence of N. caninum antibodies was reported in samples from Jizan (35.9%) while the lowest was reported in samples from Taif (2.4%). A total of 47 male and 21 female camels exhibited antibodies against T. gondii , while 19 male and 14 female camels showed antibodies against N. caninum . Concurrent detection of both T. gondii and N. caninum antibodies was observed in 18 camels. It has been demonstrated that T. gondii and N. caninum antibodies are prevalent in camels from different cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

WORKLOAD FORECASTING UNDER ERRATIC DEMAND USING FAST FOURIER TRANSFORM ALGORITHM
Authors: KOYUNCU Onur , TURFAN Erdem
Published: March 2020

Forecasting process may become cumbersome under erratic demand structures where no conventional methodology seems to provide plausible outcomes. The company investigated in this paper is subject to this condition and needs to forecast the workload in order to plan the indispensable process enhancement activities. Two parameters to be forecasted are the total production volume and the ratio of in-house production ratio with respect to the total production. The required forecasts for relatively regular structured in-house production to total production ratio were computed via static forecasting. The more important erratic structured total production volume forecasts were computed using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm. Total production was further observed during the next year to check the reliability of the forecasts. The resulting respective MAPEs (Mean Absolute Percentage Errors) of approximately 11% (in-house ratio) and 14-22% (total production) were considered acceptable under the erratic demand structure.

Standard Operating Procedure for Immunoprecipitation-Top Down Mass Spectrometry of Integral Membrane Proteins v1
Authors: Drown Bryon , Des Soye Benjamin , Blagojevic Voislav , Camarillo Jeannie , Kelleher Neil
Published: March 2020

It has become established practice to use the presence of specific combinations of externally-displayed membrane proteins as markers to identify cell types in tissues or other complex cell mixtures. To augment the ability to utilize surface markers for cell type identification, one of the goals of the HuBMAP consortium is resolve cell type-specific proteoforms (i.e. specific molecular forms of a protein product arising from a single gene). Proteoform information can be obtained via top-down mass spectrometric (TDMS) analysis of the target (i.e. analysis of the entire intact, undigested peptide) to unamiguously identify proteoforms. To achieve this, the target much be selectively removed and enriched from the context in which it natively appears and subsequently prepared for mass spectrometry. This can be particularly difficult for integral membrane protein targets, which are typically highly hydrophobic and difficult to solubly stabilize in MS-friendly buffers. Here, we present an approach that can be used for exploratory attempts to isolate and analyze novel membrane protein targets via TDMS. This approach uses affinity reagents to selectively bind and enrich the target of interest, which is solubilized in aqueous solution by the presence of non-ionic detergent. Following enrichment, the target is precipitated and prepared for TDMS analysis.

From Global North-South Divide to Sustainability: Shifting Policy Frameworks for International Development and Education
Authors: Singh Shalini
Published: March 2020

Education policies are becoming increasingly oriented towards employability (economic returns) and subjected to measurements especially post-2015. Despite resistance from different stakeholders, employability has become a global norm and funds for programmes with non-economic objectives, especially in low and middle-income countries have been cut tremendously (Singh & Ehlers, 2020). Is this a short term crisis, a faulty and confused policy decision, or a part of a long term policy agenda aimed at bigger changes with deeper policy linkages? Who is promoting it with what intentions? How should the actors in the education sector deal with it? This paper answers these questions by mapping and analysing the shift in policy framework for International Development from Global North-South Divide (1970s-2015) to Sustainability (2015 onwards) and its impact on the policy of education for development. It shows how International Organisations (IOs) used knowledge, information and policy linkages to gain control over states and UN created a narrative about sustainability rooted in environment to facilitate an obscure OECD agenda for sustainable economic growth, backed by World Bank and the IMF’s measurement and control tactics. It further explains how and why the development policies (reflected in education) of low, middle and high income countries converged post-2015.

Published: March 2020

This research focuses on specific models of health and illness, explored by many researchers across the world. The sequential variations and critic of each model is summed up by researcher and the relevant theoretical orientations of beta thalassemia major have been tried to integrate. Beta thalassemia major is a common genetic disorder, due to abnormalities in human globin (alpha or beta). The highest prevalence rate of disease has been seen in Saudi Arabia, Jordon, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, due to repeated cousin marriages, strong beliefs of cultural and traditional practices and lack of knowledge for the prevention and management of beta thalassemia major. The focus of epidemiologists remained on genetic causes and ignored the social, cultural, religious and psychological factors which preponderate over biological aspects of health. The academician and health experts lacked to focus the theoretical orientations of beta thalassemia major, this paper elucidates the models of health and illness and provides and logical theoretical itinerary for beta thalassemia major.
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM OF FORMING THE RESPONSIBLE ATTITUDE TO HEALTH IN CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Authors: Krupnik Z.
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to consideration of the actual problem of formation of a healthy way of life of children of modern youth. An overview of the basic theoretical and conceptual foundations on this issue is carried out. Special attention is paid to the retrospective analysis of the problem of creating the healthy lifestyle culture, the value-based attitude towards person's health. It is given grounds for the necessity of the complexity of the process of creation of the responsible attitude towards personal health of modern youth which is aimed at developing of the personal viewpoint of a person towards his/her own health. It has also been proven that the perspective of improving the health of young people is correlated with systemic activities of the creation of the healthy lifestyle and it is much more effective and cost-effective strategy than the constant increase of the cost for the treatment of the consequences of the unhealthy lifestyle.

Therefore, the main content of the activity of all educational institutions in creating the responsible attitude towards personal health of modern youth is in our opinion, the development and implementation of social projects based on certain preconditions, principles, tasks, strategies, mechanisms determined by the creation of the responsible attitude towards health, and have as a purpose - improvement of the health of this particular category of children, and the general population as a whole. The most relevant focal areas in the development and implementation of all programs relating to the creation of healthy lifestyle of young people are the following: proper training of specialists, support of youth initiatives, monitoring of the situation and effectiveness of the projects, spreading and improvement of information and education programs, combining the efforts of various ministries, committees and non-governmental organizations, etc.

Published: March 2020

The article presents a brief review of the concept of complex psychological trauma transformations over thirty years, which occurred since the moment when the term Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) was proposed as a clinical syndrome of multiple psychological traumatization to its official recognition as a diagnostic construct. The article analyzes the dynamics of ideas about the causes and the nature of psychological trauma manifestations under the influence of extreme stress factors, which is reflected in the current nomenclatures of mental and somatic disorders. A comparative analysis of the specific characteristics of various types of psychological traumas that intersect with the term complex PTSD in the conceptual field of trauma psychology is presented. The basic characteristics of complex psychological trauma that distinguish it from similar terms are defined, and the ways of further research in this direction are outlined.
Reconciling Ground Motions and Stress Drops for Induced Earthquakes in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
Authors: Holmgren Joanna M. , Atkinson Gail M. , Ghofrani Hadi
Published: March 2020

A regional ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) is defined for earthquakes in the western Canada sedimentary basin. The stress parameter model that is input to the GMPE, which controls high-frequency amplitudes, is developed based on an empirical Green’s function (EGF) study in the same region (Holmgren et al., 2019). The GMPE is developed using the generic GMPE approach of Yenier and Atkinson (2015a,b); regional parameters, including attenuation and site response, are calibrated using a database of response spectra. The ground-motion database comprises 726 records from 92 earthquakes with magnitudes 2.3–4.4, at distances to 200 km; most events are believed to be related to hydraulic fracturing. To investigate discrepancies between the values of GMPE stress parameter and EGF stress drop for individual earthquakes, stress parameters are computed for each event by fitting the GMPE to observed response spectra. There is a large scatter in the EGF versus GMPE stress estimates, even though the GMPE estimates were implicitly calibrated to equal the EGF values on average. The discrepancies can be attributed to two methodological factors. First, the EGF approach removes the site and path terms through spectral division, whereas the GMPE approach relies on an average regional model as determined from regression of the source and path attenuation. The use of an average regional model results in greater uncertainty, in particular, due to directivity effects (which are better accommodated in the EGF approach). Second, the EGF approach is performed in the Fourier domain, whereas the GMPE fitting is done in the response spectral domain. We conclude that EGF stress-drop models provide useful constraints for GMPE development, when used in combination with calibration to a ground-motion database.

represented by six species in Turkey. Hyoscyamus species contain important
tropane alkaloids, which have antispasmodic, anticholinergic, analgesic and
sedative effects. In this study, we aimed to determinate content of Hyoscyamus reticulatus plant seed by XRF
(X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry) and investigate the antibacterial activity of
the ethanol extract of H. reticulatus seed.
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is one of the important
instruments which used to determine the elemental and chemical composition of
all types of liquids and solids, allows quick and accurate qualitative and
quantitative analysis of elements. In this study, content of H. reticulatus plant seeds were
determined by XRF method; While the seeds have content rates % 1.98 K2O
(%1.65 K), %1.22 P2O5 (%0.53 P), % 0.80 SO3 (%
0.32 S), % 0.49 CaO (%0.35 Ca), %0.26 Fe2O3 ( %0.18
Fe), %0.13 Cl, %0.11 MgO (%0.07 Mg), %0.10 ZnO ( %0.08 Zn), %0.06 MoO3 (
%0.04 Mo),%0.05 SiO2 (%0.02 Si), %0.02 Cu, %0.02 MnO (%0.01
Mn), NiO (67 ppm) and Al2O3 (94 ppm) rates were
determined at the ppm level. H.
reticulatus seeds were extracted with for antibacterial activity test and Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Pasteurella multocida, Yersinia enterocolitica, Klebsiella pneumoniae,
Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella
enteridis bacteria were used. The extract did affect no bacteria except Pasteurella multocida (10 mm).
GLOBAL SHIFT: MAPPING DIFFERENT APPROACHES
Authors: BIYIK Can
Published: March 2020

This
paper aims to set out a number of future transport visions (in which the long
version of the scenario narratives is characteristically formed before the
generic images) for the year 2035 which bring about a step change in the level
of sustainable transport systems through hypothetical developing urban areas.
The Avoid-Shift-Improve (A-S-I) approaches have been generated by a process of
the worldwide transport planning review, previous sustainable design works, and
extensive discussions with the transport planners, experts, policymakers
through a worldwide comprehensive survey before computer-based software was
used to create images of a range of developing urban street scenes (or
archetypes) in 2020. Then, several
international policymakers were provided with samples of generic illustrations
in the context of A-S-I approaches. This paper provides a practical
recommendation of policy actions and strategies that can be presented in many
influential developing countries in the Latin America, Africa, Middle East,
Asia and the Pacific region, which would lead to the development of future
global sustainable transport systems. It finally points out that such visions
need a considerable degree of consensus and radical approaches to tackling
them.

Authors: Altunkaya Sabri , İnan Onur
Published: March 2020

Thrombosis on the valve that prevents the movement of mechanical heart
valves is a fatal disease requiring urgent intervention. Thrombosis is detected
by echocardiographic findings and/or CT images. In this study, it has been
tried to determine the formation of thrombosis by listening method which has
been used for controlling the functionality of the heart valves for years. For
this firstly heart sounds of patients with thrombosis and normal mechanical
heart valves were recorded. Then the first and second heart sounds (S1 and S2)
were separated from the recorded sounds. After the frequency spectrum of S1 and
S2 were found using autoregressive spectrum estimation methods, six features
were obtained regarding the frequency components. Then the features obtained
are classified by support vector machine methods. The accuracy value was found
to be 100% by using the 3 fold cross-validation. The average accuracy is 95.18%
as a result of running the classifier 500 times using 3 fold-cross validation.

have been developed. The aim of this study is to provide a solution for
different applications using an effective and cost-effective method to detect
the brand and model of vehicles. A classification method is implemented using
deep neural network in the determination of the vehicle brand. The proposed
solution is tested on various images taken from different angles and obtained
from different sources. Faster-RCNN method which is one of deep neural networks
is used to brand detection of vehicles in this study. It is observed that
Faster-RCNN method performs 67.66% classification accuracy.
Semantic primes in historical languages. The identification of the Old English exponent for DO
Authors: Mateo Mendaza Raquel
Published: March 2020

This journal article follows the research line opened on the search for semantic primes’ exponents in Old English within the frame of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage theory (Goddard 1997, 2012; Goddard and Wierzbicka 2002). The aim of this study is to complete the line of research on prime identification opened on the category Actions, events, movement, contact by establishing the Old English exponent of the prime DO. With this purpose, this paper discusses the adequacy of different OE verbs as possible prime exponent on the basis of textual frequency, morphology, semantics and syntactic complementation. Relevant data of analysis have been retrieved mainly from the lexical database of Old English Nerthus, the Dictionary of Old English (Healey et al. 2018) and the Dictionary of Old English Corpus (Healey et al. 2009).

Published: March 2020

Background: Common obstetric emergencies require blood and blood components transfusion. The use of blood and its components has become a lifesaving strategy in management of obstetric haemorrhage. This study was aimed to know the prevalence, indications and adverse reactions of blood and its components transfusion.Methods: A review of 405 patients of obstetric emergencies requiring blood and its component transfusion was done.Results: Prevalence of blood and blood components transfusion in obstetric emergencies in one-year period was 18.4%. Mostly women who received blood transfusions were multiparous (50.12%) and belonged to rural areas (62%). Anemia is a risk factor for obstetric emergencies and the mean pre transfusion hemoglobin ±SD was 8.04±1.38 (g/dl). Obstetric hemorrhage (68.6%) was the most common indication for transfusion and packed red cells were most commonly (54.07%) transfused. The overall percentage of adverse reactions seen during transfusion was 1.95%.Conclusions: The present study reinforces the importance of appropriate use of blood and its components in obstetric emergencies. Appropriate use of blood components avoids many of the hazards associated with use of whole blood. All blood components should be made available at peripheral hospitals as most of the patients require specific blood component and they are referred to tertiary care centre in emergencies which can be avoided.

Authors: Saha Kaushik , Saha Dipa
Published: March 2020

Background: Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the common microvascular complications in diabetes mellitus affecting both large and small nerve fibres. In present study we have assessed the impairment of vibration perception threshold (VPT) QST that enables evaluation of affection of large myelinated (Aα and Aβ) fibres.   Methods: Authors used Biothesiometer in our study that served a satisfactory tool for quantitating vibratory sense. In our study 120 diabetic patients between 30 to 60 yrs age group with duration of illness ≤10 yrs, 10-20 years and more than 20 years were subjected to Vibratory QST by instrument (Vibrotherm Dx) at several specific points of feet.Results: The result observed is, 73.2% (n=22) diabetics with clinical neuropathy show impairment of vibration sense, while 60% of diabetic patients without clinical neuropathy also show impairment of vibration sense. Result suggests involvement of nerve fibres in a subclinical stage in diabetic patients. Relation between vibratory QST and duration of diabetes is also established, Chi-square trend test is done and it shows there is positive trend with duration of diabetes and it is statistically significant p≤0.001.Conclusions: This study suggests that Vibratory QST should be carried out in every diabetic patient irrespective of clinical neuropathy and duration of diabetes, for early detection, progression & institution of therapy.

Fatigue, Nonrestorative Sleep and Associated Factors Among Sudanese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Mirghani Hyder Osman
Published: March 2020

Background: Fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, and other sleep disorders could be pointers to serious medical problems like obstructive sleep apnea; when present in patients with diabetes, they exacerbate each other deleterious consequences. The present study aimed to assess fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, sleep duration, and daytime sleepiness among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 103 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes and 121 healthy controls attending an outpatient clinic in Omdurman, Sudan during the period from December 2015 to June 2016. All participants signed a written informed consent and were interviewed using a questionnaire based on Epworth Sleepiness Scale to assess subjective nonrestorative sleep, sleep duration, and snoring. A blood sample was taken for the HbA1c. The local ethical committee approved the research, and chi-square test and t-test were used for data analysis.
Results: Highly significant statistical differences were observed between the diabetic patients and the control subjects regarding fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, sleep duration, snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness (P-value < 0.001). Patients with fatigue had higher nonrestorative sleep than those without, no significant differences were found between patients with the symptoms of fatigue and those without regarding excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, sleep duration, and the HbA1c (P-value > 0.05).
Conclusions: Fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, sleep duration, excessive daytime sleepiness, and snoring were common among patients with type 2 diabetes than their healthy counterparts, diabetic patients with fatigue had more nonrestorative sleep than those without. The reliance on a self-administered questionnaire is a limitation of the study.
