Estudio hidromorfológico de la cuenca La Mona, El Cady y el riesgo de inundaciones imprevistas.
Authors: Rodríguez Palacios Carlos , Alarcón Loor José Ramón
Published: March 2021

En el trabajo se logró realizar la simulación del comportamiento hidrológico de la cuenca en una zona donde no existen estudios de este tipo. Se utilizó las curvas intensidad-duraciónfrecuencia (IDF) para la construcción de hietogramas. Con esta información, se aplicó un sistema de modelamiento hidrológico con la herramienta HEC-HMS (versión 4.6.1), y el programa QGIS 3.4 MADEIRA para determinar las características morfológicas de la cuenca. Se obtuvieron los caudales de punta para períodos de retorno de 25, 50 y 100 años respectivamente. Este análisis es de gran ayuda para otras cuencas hidrográficas en toda la región ecuatoriana, ya que tienen una función importante en el ecosistema y que no cuentan con información hidrometeorológica.

Published: March 2021

In this article for the sequence to catch the concept of ocular affinity, we suggest a deep convolutional neural network to know the embedding of images. We show the deep architecture of Siamese that learns embedding which correctly resembles objects' classification in visual similarity while trained on positive and negative picture combinations. We often introduce a novel system of loss calculation employing angular loss metrics based on the problem's requirements. The combined description of the low or top-level embeddings was its final embedding of the image. We also used the fractional distance matrix to calculate the distance in the n-dimensional space between the studied embeddings. Finally, we compare our architecture with many other deep current architectures and continue to prove our approach's superiority in terms of image recovery by image recovery. Architecture research on four datasets. We often illustrate how our proposed network is stronger than other conventional deep CNNs used by learning optimal embedding to capture fine-grained picture comparisons.
Self Image and Physical Education- A Phenomenological Study
Authors: Perrin-Wallqvist Renée , Carlsson Eva
Published: March 2021

In this study our aim was to investigate (a) how the awareness of one's self-image reveals itself as a phenomenon, and (b) if self-image is influenced by physical education in a social context with teachers and pupils. Six pupils, aged 15 and 16 years, attending compulsory school were interviewed with the use of an empirical phenomenological psychological method. The Empirical Phenomenological Psychological (EPP) analysis of the interviews resulted in two main themes in terms of self-concepts: self-image as self-contemplation and the factors of influence upon a pupil's self-image in physical education each with three subthemes. We end with a discussion about the different aspects on the noetic and the noematic perspectives on self-image and self-contemplation.
Resilience of Gendered Spheres in Translational Migration: A Comparison of Two Cultures
Authors: Calderon Jose
Published: March 2021

Sheba George's ethnographic study used participant-observation methods, purposive sampling, and an insider's transnational journey to examine changes in family and social roles that result when nurses from Kerala, India, immigrate to the United States ahead of their husbands. The author concludes that the economic and political gain immigration affords nurses does not translate into enhanced social status for their family in India nor for their husbands in the U.S. when they undergo a gender role transferal from primary breadwinner to homemaker whilst their wives pursue their nursing careers. In a key observation, the author emphasizes that this role transferal also caused shifts in gender structure within the U.S. Kerali community. The purpose of this paper is to offer a review of George's examination of resilience of patriarchal cultural mores and gender roles of Kerali "nurse husbands" in the U.S. and to cross-culturally compare their resilience to that of Puerto Rican men who were born and raised in Puerto Rico before migrating to the US mainland. This comparison is born of George's experience as a first-generation Kerali American and that of this reviewer as a first-generation Puerto Rican American.
Stigmatization of Overweight Patients by Nurses
Authors: Creel Eillen , Tillman Ken
Published: March 2021

The focus of this research study was the exploration of the phenomenon of stigmatization of obese persons by nurses. The philosophical tradition of Phenomenology based on Heidegger's view of the person guided the researchers in uncovering the meaning of stigmatization for eight chronically ill individuals with a body mass index greater than 30. Stigmatization by nurses for this group of medically obese women meant being exposed to unintentional harm, presuppositions, and reluctant care. Perceptions of stigma were manifested in shame, marginalization, and anxiety in seeking health care. Nursing care could advance positive outcomes when including non-discriminatory care related to weight in the total care needs identified for obese patients.

Delphi in Criminal Justice Policy: A Case Study on Judgmental Forecasting
Authors: Loyens Kim , Maesschalck Jeroen , Bouckaert Geert
Published: March 2021

This article provides an in-depth case study analysis of a pilot project organized by the section "Strategic Analysis" of the Belgian Federal Police. Using the Delphi method, which is a judgmental forecasting technique, a panel of experts was questioned about future developments of crime, based on their expertise in criminal or social trends. The results demonstrate how police authorities could implement judgmental forecasting methods like Delphi methodology for the anticipation of future criminal trends, and how this technique, applied under specific conditions, can complement current crime analysis techniques. This article will not focus on criminal trends that were forecasted in the pilot project, but on the preconditions for using the Delphi method in criminal justice policy. Hence, this article could contribute to future applications of judgmental forecasting techniques by practitioners in both criminal justice systems and other policy domains.
Contextualizing the Perceived Barriers of Adult Learners in an Accelerated Undergraduate Degree Program
Authors: Deggs David
Published: March 2021

Research has consistently suggested that colleges and universities should review academic programs and support services in order to make modifications to meet the needs of adult learners. However, one could argue that colleges and universities cannot be successful in meeting adult learners' needs without understanding the barriers they experience. This study utilized phenomenology to examine the perceived barriers of adult learners in an accelerated undergraduate degree program in the mid-South. Analysis of data collected from adult learners identified three types of barriers: (a). intrapersonal, (b). career and job-related barriers, and (c). academic-related. The results of this study suggested that barriers are never extinct for adult learners and they must work to overcome or manage barriers which emerge from their multiple life roles.
Conducting Qualitative Data Analysis: Qualitative Data Analysis as a Metaphoric Process
Authors: Chenail Ronald
Published: March 2021

In the second of a series of “how-to” essays on conducting qualitative data analysis, Ron Chenail argues the process can best be understood as a metaphoric process. From this orientation he suggests researchers follow Kenneth Burke’s notion of metaphor and see qualitative data analysis as the analyst systematically considering the “this-ness” of the data from the “that-ness” of the qualitative abstraction drawn about the data. To make this metaphoric pronouncement a convincing case to judges as to the veracity of the juxtaposition of the code to that which is coded, the analyst must employ a recursive process by showing the presence of the qualities of the unit of analysis in the product of the qualitative analysis as evidence of the quality of the analysis itself. This evidentially recursive act must be made overtly because in qualitative data analysis, the data do not speak for themselves.
Manufacturing Change
Authors: Ruddock Una
Published: March 2021

This is a highly accessible presentation of organisational research, which demonstrates how ethnography can elicit a holistic understanding of across section of employees and thereby reveal a workplace culture. It suggests that change efforts fail if culture is ignored and offers a detailed account of how critical incidents translate into tools for change. The data analysis reveals the weakness in working relationships and how blame functions to prevent change. The Ideal Plant project emerges, which validates transformation tools to create cooperative workplace interactions and collaborative problem solving. The past and future, metaphorically represented as two different places, are connected by a bridge. The old way is bad, the new way is good and the present is a mixture of both.

Published: March 2021

Por más de un millón de años, los seres humanos fueron cazadores y recolectores, los componentes demográficos, como la mortalidad y la fecundidad, tenían variables y tasas elevadas, por lo que la población se autorregulaba. Es allí, a causa del crecimiento demográfico durante generaciones y las emisiones de carbono, se realiza el acuerdo de parís, y con unión de varios países nace la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible, que incluye 17 Objetivos y 169 metas. El objetivo de nuestra presente investigación es estimar la huella de carbono en la ciudad específicamente en la zona urbana, lugar donde se agrupa gran parte de su población total. Los métodos utilizados en este trabajo fueron cualitativo, cuantitativo, deductivo y lógico. En la zona urbana de Manta, con un 6.42% margen de error, se determinaron 232 familias encuestadas, el cual se realizó un escrutinio por cada familia para determinar la estimación aproximada en un mes. Si bien es cierto un factor muy importante en nuestro trabajo de investigación, fue el determinar el número de habitantes en la zona urbana de ciudad de Manta, y con ello realizar una proyección hasta el año 2050, el cual optamos por escoger el método de proyección polinómica para estipular una proyección poblacional. Podemos decir en conclusión que el aumento de la huella de carbono crecerá aún más por la demanda poblacional prevista en ese lapso de tiempo, dando un total para el año 2050 de 56,272 toneladas de co2 emitidos por los habitantes.
The Impact of GDP on Cross-Country Efficiency in Wealth Maximization: a Joint Analysis Through the Stochastic Frontier and Generalized Method of Moments
Authors: Rosid Harun Or , Xuefeng Zhao , Hossain Sk Alamgir , Hasan Mohammad Raihanul , Sultanuzzaman Reza
Published: March 2021

Wealth maximization is still the principal objective of a corporation and income plays a pivotal role in this regard. Taking this to the country context, wealth maximization can be a more refined objective alongside GDP growth. Considering GDP as the key wealth maximizer for a nation, the present work was undertaken to determine cross-country wealth efficiency and its determinants based on GDP covariates. The relationship between aggregate net wealth and GDP of 106 different countries for a period of 2009 to 2018 were analyzed to estimate annual incremental wealth efficiency based on their GDP covariates using input-output stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). Further, the determinants of incremental wealth efficiency were identified using multiple regression models. The SFA analysis shows significant negative impact of GDP on wealth maximization efficiency, like the law of diminishing marginal return to scales advocates. With the increase of GDP of a country, its marginal efficiency in wealth maximization decreases though aggregate wealth increases. The robust regression models show that imports, broad money and exchange rate undermine the wealth efficiency of a country and country’s past efficiency positively influences the subsequent year’s efficiency. These findings are expected to open new horizons for policymakers in policy analyses.

Root Penetration of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Stormwater and Sewer Pipes
Authors: Moore Gregory M. , Bendel Susan , May Peter B.
Published: March 2021

Two experiments investigated factors influencing root penetration of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes.Eucalyptus leucoxylon, Allocasuarina littoralis, Lophostemon confertus, Callistemon salignus, Acer palmatum, andPyrus calleryanaseedlings were grown in containers containing 150-mm lengths of sealed 75-mm PVC stormwater pipe with cracks 0.04 mm, 0.66 mm, or 1.48 mm wide on their upper surface. The buried pipes contained water, water and stormwater, soil, or soil and stormwater. There were six replicates and 432 plants. There was no significant difference in the mass of roots entering the pipes for the two larger crack widths with 70% of pipes penetrated and strong growth inside the pipes. While the roots of all species penetrated cracks greater than 0.66 mm, only roots ofC. salignus, E. leucoxylon, andL. confertuspenetrated 0.04 mm cracks. Roots penetrated 50 to 60% of pipes containing soil, or soil and stormwater, and 40% of pipes containing water, or water and stormwater were penetrated. The plants with roots penetrating pipes containing water and stormwater grew tallest. No roots penetrated the welded caps of the stormwater pipes. A second experiment usingE. leucoxylon, Melaleuca ericifolia, Ficusmacrophylla, A. littoralis, andSalix fragilisinvestigated root penetration of different sized holes in polycarbonate plates. The plates, installed in containers with growing medium above and below, had either 2 × 4 mm holes, 8 × 2 mm holes, 127 × 0.5 mm holes, or a mixture of holes (1 × 4 mm, 2 × 2 mm and 32 × 0.5 mm holes), total pore area in all being 25.14 mm2. Below the plates, the growing medium was capillary irrigated with stormwater or water. All species grew through 0.5-mm holes and had strong root growth below the plates. When irrigated with stormwater, all species were taller and had greater biomass, and most species had a greater root mass below the plates. In general and regardless of hole size, the more holes in the plates, the more roots penetrated them. Properly installed PVC pipes are impenetrable, but the width and number of openings in a pipe influence the capacity for penetration and subsequent root growth so protocols minimizing damage to pipes should be enforced. Since species have different capacities for penetrating stormwater pipes, appropriate species selection for urban environments where damaged pipes may occur could reduce incidences of pipe damage.
Comparing the Missouri Gravel Bed and a Wood Chip Production Method for Tree Growth
Authors: Fite Kelby , Holmes Liza , LeBrun Elden
Published: March 2021

Tree root defects from current nursery production practices influence short- and long-term tree performance and survivability. The Missouri Gravel Bed (MGB) system, a production method using gravel as a substrate, has been used to prevent many of these defects from occurring. MGB production involves planting bare root stock into a bed of gravel with frequent drip irrigation in order to produce a root system with relatively few defects. MGB production methods have also been purported to allow for summer transplanting of many species, as opposed to traditional dormant transplanting. Because gravel has low water- and nutrient-holding capacity, biochar (5% by volume) was incorporated into one plot as a possible means of improving both water- and nutrient-holding capacity over gravel alone. Wood chip mulch was also investigated as a growing substrate in place of the gravel in a growing system. In 2015, three species,Quercus bicolor(swamp white oak),Taxodium distichum(baldcypress), andTilia cordata(littleleaf linden), were studied in pea gravel (PG), biochar-amended pea gravel (BC), and wood chip mulch bed (MB) growing environments. Very few differences occurred over the growing season with above- or belowground parameters indicating that the minimal-to-no-cost, more readily available substrate of wood chip mulch should be considered in these growing systems.
Health Risk Assessment of Residents in a Tourist City: A Case Study of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province
Authors: KAEWRAT Jenjira , JANTA Rungruang
Published: March 2021

Nakhon Si Thammarat is one of the most popular tourist destinations among the secondary tourism cities according to economic promotions. The rapid growth of the tourism industry is evidenced by increasing road traffic, especially at weekends, contributing to high nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration. The concentration of NO2 was measured in the main tourist destinations of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Likewise, health risks from NO2 exposure were also evaluated for the local residents. Air mass movement was applied to indicate risk areas of non-cancer health effects from exposure to NO2. Air samples were collected over 24 hours using a passive sampling technique at 3 areas in the tourist destination on weekdays and weekends during the wet season in 2018 and 2019. Results showed that NO2 concentrations at weekends were 2 - 3 times higher than on weekdays due to increased vehicular traffic. Anthropogenic activities had a greater influence than meteorological conditions on pollutant concentration. The NO2 concentration was within the ambient air quality standard, but toxicological risk quotients for the residents were above the recommended limits for human health. Findings indicated that local residents risked non-cancer health effects from long-term exposure to NO2. Therefore, sensitive residents should avoid outdoor activities on weekends. Moreover, the tourism authority should consider controlling visitor numbers, providing a parking area, and providing public transportation systems to reduce traffic-related pollutants for sustainable tourism in Thailand.
A Causal Relationship of Home Care Services on the Quality of Life among Survivors of Stroke in Thailand
Authors: ADUNWATANASIRI Patoomthip , SINDHU Siriorn , WANITKUN Napaporn , VIWATWONGKASEM Chukiat
Published: March 2021

Survivors of stroke suffer impairments associated with a complex need of care from healthcare services after being discharged from hospital and returning home, and these impairments affect the quality of their lives. This cross-sectional study, aimed at evaluating the pathways linking home care services, patient factors, and quality of life (QOL), was carried out by conducting interviews and questionnaires with stroke survivors at their homes. Simple random sampling was used to select the settings for data collection, and multi-stage sampling was used to select the samples. In all, 317 stroke survivors admitted to 13 hospitals in rural and urban setting were selected for participation in the study. The data obtained were analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The hypothetical model demonstrated a good fit (chi-square = 15.299, df = 9, p = 0.083, GFI = 0.98, CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.047). Statistically significant explanatory variables for the home care service had a direct effect on perceived self-management support, functional status, and QOL (β = 0.39, 0.12 and 0.11, respectively), while number of community supporters had a significant positive indirect effect on QOL through functional status (β = 0.13). The variables accounted for 56 % of the variance in QOL. This finding could be used by policy makers to make important policy development in home care services and help improve health outcomes. In particular, it is also recommended that policy makers push for policies that encompass self-management support and community support groups among stroke survivors in community settings.
Territorial and Sectoral Distribution of the ODA Gross Disbursements Channelled Using Civil Society Organizations: Czechia Compared with Other Central European Countries
Authors: Kovarova Eva
Published: March 2021

Civil society organizations represent important actors in delivery of development assistance. International community recognizes them not only as actors on their own, but also as the contractors of the official governmental programmes and projects. Their involvement in development policies of donor countries has been especially emphasized since the 1990s, and it is generally regarded as valuable in fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Governments of the Central European Countries also cooperate with civil society organizations in development policies, and use them inter alia as the channels for aid delivery. However, the level in which governments use their services in delivery of the Official Development Assistance differs. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to identify and evaluate territorial and sectoral distribution of the ODA gross disbursements of Czechia channelled using civil society organizations, and to compare this distribution with the ones found in Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Through civil society organizations Czechia has allocated nearly 1⁄4 of its total volume of ODA gross disbursements related to individual programmes and projects during the period between 2014 and 2018. However, the Hungarian government cooperated with civil society organizations marginally, and their participation reached a maximum level of 6% in 2018. Civil society organizations, participating in development policies of the Central European Countries, were involved mainly in the programmes and projects concerning social infrastructure and services, which complies with their traditional and most common roles.
Overall trends in the migration processes in the Republic of Moldova: the mills of the God grinding slowly?
Authors: Macuhin Alexandr
Published: March 2021

This paper discusses the key characteristics of the migration situation and overall trends in the migration processes in the Republic of Moldova. Practically, many of the former Soviet republics were faced with serious social and economic problems. Economical systems of new post-soviet countries were ill-equipped to handle new borders and customs barriers. As the “multi-national state” was dissolved, the majority of new post-Soviet states struggled with ethnic conflicts, which triggered the first wave of the so-called “great escape” of the population. In Moldova’s case, the Transnistrian conflict was a classic example of such a civilizational crisis, the solution to which was not found to date. The first wave of the “great escape” was triggered by the hard situation of the national identity formation. The “second wave” was a reaction to an increasingly poor economic situation. Today, the formation of the “third wave of great escape” becomes increasingly more evident – perhaps the last one for the Moldavian state. This “third wave” is also connected with integrational processes, mostly in the European Union countries. The second part of the article analyses the relationship between the economic development of the Republic of Moldova and the current migration situation. In general, despite a number of positive changes, such as the reduction of the critical high level of dependence of the economy on financial remittances of Moldovan migrant workers, the level of such dependence remains very high, and the speed of development of the Moldovan economy, on the contrary, is significantly reduced. The paper concludes with four main factors that, in the author’s opinion, are critical for the analysis of the current negative migration situation in the Republic of Moldova, as well as those that may become key factors that will have a significant impact on the strengthening of the negative socio-economic situation in the country and the systemic crisis in the future 2035–2040.

Đối tượng và phương pháp: Nghiên cứu hồi cứu báo cáo loạt ca các trường hợp phẫu thuật cắt tử cung cấp cứu do băng huyết sau sinh ngã âm đạo nặng tại Bệnh viện Từ Dũ trong thời gian từ từ 1/8/2019 đến tháng 30/12/2019. Các đặc điểm được ghi nhận bao gồm: đặc điểm dịch tễ học, tiền căn sản phụ khoa, đặc điểm thai kỳ lần này, đặc điểm cuộc sinh và BHSS. Kết quả: Trong khoảng thời gian nghiên cứu 5 tháng, có 177 trường hợp băng huyết sau sinh ngã âm đạo nặng tại Bệnh viện Từ Dũ. Trong đó, chúng tôi trích lục được 7 trường hợp có phẫu thuật cắt tử cung cấp cứu để cứu mẹ sau khi các điều trị nội và ngoại khoa bảo tồn thất bại (chiếm 3,9%). Toàn bộ đều được điều trị cứu mạng mẹ thành công sau phẫu thuật cắt tử cung cấp cứu. Kết luận: BHSS nặng tuy chiếm tỉ lệ nhỏ nhưng là một nhóm bệnh cảnh quan trọng, góp phần lớn vào gánh nặng bệnh tật và tử vong do BHSS. Tuy đã có nhiều tiến bộ trong kĩ thuật y tế và phẫu thuật nhưng cắt tử cung cấp cứu vẫn là phương pháp điều trị quan trọng trong BHSS nặng không đáp ứng điều trị ban đầu.

This is also one of the reasons why Jeneponto Regency is the only area in South Sulawesi Province that is included in the category of underdeveloped areas. Looking at the physical condition of this area which has a varied topography and fertile soil, this area should have potential economic value for the development of forestry, plantation crops, and food crop agriculture. The results of previous research were the identification of drought using a hydrological approach both qualitatively and quantitatively. Then, provide directions for spatial use based on drought prevention efforts. So that in this follow-up research, the goal to be achieved is to design a 'one river one plan concept' in the comprehensive arrangement of the Binanga Lumbua watershed to realize sustainable development.
