Aim. To investigate the parameters of pulse wave contour analysis (PWCA) and microcirculation (MC) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), dyslipidemia (DLP), and high cardiovascular risk levels (SCORE >5%); to compare the dynamics of these parameters during the treatment with rosuvastatin or atorvastatin. Material and methods. The study included 82 patients (mean age 53±10 years) with the high-risk AH (SCORE levels >5%), DLP, and no strict contraindications to statins. All patients were randomised into two comparable groups: Group I (n=40; mean age 51±10 years), receiving atorvastatin and standard AH treatment; and Group II (n=42; mean age 52±10 years), receiving rosuvastatin and standard AH treatment. At baseline and after 5 weeks, all patients underwent the MC assessment (conjunctival biomicroscopy) and PWCA (AngioScan-01). The following parameters were assessed: stiffness index (SI), reflection index (RI), augmentation index (AIx), and increased pulse wave amplitude (PWA). Results. In the atorvastatin group, mean SI values were 5,87±2,05 m/s, RI values 35,64±19,98%, mean AIx values for heart rate of 75 beats per minute (AIx75) 41,21±14,56%, and mean central blood pressure (BP, Spa) levels 144,35±22,31 mm Hg. In the rosuvastatin group, the respective values were 5,01±2,56 m/s (SI), 37,01±14,56% (RI), 41,23±14,35% (AIx75), and 148,98±7,89 mm Hg (BP, Spa). All participants demonstrated PW Types A and B, as a marker of increased arterial stiffness, and positive AIx and AIx75 values. The treatment with atorvastatin and rosuvastatin was associated with a significant reduction in ∆SI (-0,87 and -0,89 m/s, respectively). Both groups demonstrated a non-significant reduction in ∆RI (-7,89 and -7,21%, respectively) and ∆AIx (-1,88 and -1,92%, respectively). PWA increased by 1,82±0,62 times in the atorvastatin group and by 1,95±0,81 times in the rosuvastatin group. At baseline, both groups demonstrated disturbed conjunctival MC (arterio-venular coefficient 1:3, stasis, and Stage III erythrocyte aggregation). Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin treatment was linked to a regression in the last two parameters, which could be explained by the improved vascular wall elasticity. Conclusion. In high-risk patients with AH, the PWCA data suggested an increase in arterial stiffness, which was combined with conjunctival MC disturbances. Statin therapy improved not only blood lipid levels, but also MC, vascular stiffness, and endothelial function parameters, which was more pronounced in the rosuvastatin group.
Type-aware Convolutional Neural Networks for Slot Filling
Authors: Adel Heike , Schuetze Hinrich
Published: October 2019

The slot filling task aims at extracting answers for queries about entities from text, such as "Who founded Apple". In this paper, we focus on the relation classification component of a slot filling system. We propose type-aware convolutional neural networks to benefit from the mutual dependencies between entity and relation classification. In particular, we explore different ways of integrating the named entity types of the relation arguments into a neural network for relation classification, including a joint training and a structured prediction approach. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on type-aware neural networks for slot filling. The type-aware models lead to the best results of our slot filling pipeline. Joint training performs comparable to structured prediction. To understand the impact of the different components of the slot filling pipeline, we perform a recall analysis, a manual error analysis and several ablation studies. Such analyses are of particular importance to other slot filling researchers since the official slot filling evaluations only assess pipeline outputs. The analyses show that especially coreference resolution and our convolutional neural networks have a large positive impact on the final performance of the slot filling pipeline. The presented models, the source code of our system as well as our coreference resource is publicly available.

The formation of nanocomposites based on quantum dots and polymers is a way of combining the benefits of quantum dots, such as their fundamental novelty and biomedical perspectives, with technological capabilities of polymers. The aim of this work was to synthesize cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots in the presence of polymers (polyethyleneimine and chitosan) in an aqueous solution and embed cadmium selenide/polymer nanoparticles into polyelectrolyte capsules. To characterize the polymer-stabilized cadmium selenide quantum dots, the authors used fluorescence spectroscopy and dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering methods. The morphology of cadmium selenide/polymer nanoparticles characterized by the method of transmission electronic microscopy. The incorporation of quantum dots into a polymer matrix can significantly reduce their toxicity and prolong the duration of their fluorescence signals. Cadmium selenide nanoparticles stabilized by chitosan were used to synthesize five-layered polyelectrolyte capsules.

Exploring academic identities of EFL novice writers
Authors: Juliaty Hanna
Published: October 2019

In academic writing, undergraduate EFL learners are not required only to apply correct L2 writing system, but more profoundly, construct and convey ideas in ways recognised in their discipline as they continuously create and recreate identities as members of their academic community. Such a process of identity construction shapes EFL novice writers’ characteristics and nurture their growth as writers in the academic environment. This study, thus, aims to explore the portrayal of academic identities of undergraduate EFL novice writers. Eight Indonesian undergraduate students of an English Department in a private Indonesian university participated in this study. The data collected included an autobiography journal, a semi-structured interview and two essay assignments. The data were analysed qualitatively by employing Ivanič’s (1998) concept of writer identity, consisting of autobiographical self, discoursal self and authorial self, and Hyland’s (2010) metadiscourse model. The findings reveal that despite numerous writing repertoires applied to display aspects of autobiographical, discoursal and authorial selves in the learners’ academic writing, the portrayal of academic identities in the writing is overall weak due to the struggles that the learners faced in adjusting and engaging themselves in the academic community of their discipline. Some recommendations in relation to L2 academic writing practice for EFL undergraduate students include facilitating students to have more exposure and access into L2 academic writing culture and academic community of their discipline.

Published: October 2019

This study examines the effects of home, school, and community factors on Indonesian secondary students’ self-identity changes in relation to their use of English. The subjects of this research were 1707 Indonesian high school students from four big cities in Indonesia. The instrument was a questionnaire on the influence of English exposure at home, school, and community and six categories of self-identity changes: self-confidence, subtractive, additive, productive, split, and zero changes. The analysis showed that there were three noticeable findings, they were (1) the issue of self-identity change on Indonesian students was not evident, (2) the greatest influence on the six self-identity indicators came from community factors altogether although slightly, and (3) the biggest influence of all was home factors on the subjects’ self-confidence. A conclusion is then made with a recommendation.
Contested Architecture: The ‘Woba’ Residential Colony in Basel, 1930
Authors: Rieben Rhea
Published: September 2019

In 1930, a housing exhibition called ‘Woba’ took place in the city of Basel. Unique for Switzerland, the commercial aspect of the furniture industry was complemented by a newly constructed residential colony. In accordance with discussions held one year before at the II CIAM congress in Frankfurt a. M., the Wohnung für das Existenzminimum was brought to life. Thirteen architectural offices experimented with different spatial designs in order to develop cheap and hygienic housing for the working class. For one month, some of the houses were open to the public. In the Swiss press, a vivid and controversial debate arose. On one side, its supporters advocated for standardized and rationalized housing as an appropriate way of living for modern individuals. On the other side, conservative forces saw a communist scheme at work in this housing in the style of Neues Bauen. By analyzing contemporary press articles on the Woba, this paper shows that the question of society’s future was being negotiated through architecture and furniture.
The Wittgensteinian Perspective and Ethnomathematics: An Analysis of Language Games and the Rules Governing their Uses in Certain Work Activities
Authors: Osterberg Luis Tiago , Lara Isabel Cristina Machado de
Published: October 2019

This work, adopting a Wittgensteinian perspective, aims to analyze the language games that involve mathematical concepts present in certain work activities, as well as the rules of use of such concepts, comparing them with the existing rules in School Mathematics. The studies analyzed used Ethnomathematics as a research method to understand the generation, organization and dissemination of mathematical knowledge in certain professions, in particular carpenters, fishermen, farmers and artisans. In considering the language games present in the mathematical practices existing in these professions, it is possible to show that in some games rules are presented that have strong family similarities to the games that make up the School Mathematics when they need a written mathematics, however, the expression of language games orally assume different meanings for terms present in both grammars. In addition, it presents examples of the use of mathematical knowledge without the formalism and rigor present in the language games of School Mathematics. It is a way of doing mathematics generated by another grammar that uses other rules, in this case estimation and rounding, a type of rationality distinct from that which constitutes School Mathematics, but which is effective in that form of use.
Development of moral attitudes toward out-group members in 3—11-year-old urban and rural children
Authors: Znamenskaya I.I. , Alexandrov Y.I.
Published: October 2019

This paper describes the experiment, which tested the hypothesis that urban and rural children´s moral attitudes toward out-group members are developed by systemic differentiation, i.e. their subjective experience´s complication. Participants are 179 3—11-year-old children from Moscow and Alexandrov Gay (Saratov region town). Children solved moral dilemmas dedicated to in-out-group conflict. The significant difference between younger and older children’s strategies was revealed: younger children are tending to support in-group members, whereas older children tending to support victims, even if they are out-group members. This trend is universal for both urban and rural children. The data is discussed within system-evolutionary approach.
Money as a source of psychological problems of wealthy people
Authors: Filinkova E.B.
Published: October 2019

The article is devoted to the study of money as a factor affecting personality and interpersonal relations. According to the results of in-depth interviews with 16 very rich people it was demonstrated the personal influence of big money is associated with changes in the understanding of the world and oneself in this world, with the dynamics of value orientations. The money influence on marital relations is multidirectional and depends on the system of value orientations stability and the position of family, labor and money values in it for the spouses. Money has the greatest influence on the relationship of a rich person with friends. This influence is mainly destructive, the dominant reason for the destruction of the old or the emergence of new friendships is distrust. Distrust leads to a lack of emotional communication and makes rich people to maintain even become superficial friendships, on one hand, and strengthens the emotional connection with the spouse, which is to some extent compensation for the lack of friendly interaction, on the other hand.
Linear And Nonlinear Intersubband Optical Absorptions In Multiple Quantum Wells Under The External Fields
Authors: ÖZBAKIR Rana
Published: September 2019

In this study, the effects of the external fields (electric
and tilted magnetic fields) and well parameters on the optical absorption
coefficients in GaAs/GaAlAs multiple (five) quantum wells under the applied
electric and tilted magnetic fields has been investigated theoretically.
Firstly, the energy eigenvalues and eigen functions of an electron confined in
multiple quantum wells are calculated by analytically from Schrödinger equation
using the transfer matrix method within the effective mass approximation,
Secondly, the linear, nonlinear and total intersubband optical absorptions in
GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum wells system are studied within the compact density-matrix
approach. It is shown that the parameters such as strenghts of the external
fields and θ-tilted angle values not only shift the peak positions in
absorption spectrum but also considerably modify their potential heights. In
generally, electronic and optical properties of the quantum wells are very
sensitive to the applied external fields and well parameters. Therefore, we can
conclude that the effect of the external fields can be used to tune and control
the optical properties of interest in the range of the far-infrared
electromagnetic spectrum.

Published: September 2019

Diabetes mellitus, dünya popülasyonunun
azımsanmayacak bir kesimini etkileyen metabolik bir hastalıktır. Arum rupicola, Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu’da,
halk hekimliğinde diyabetin tedavisi için kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Arum rupicola’nın streptozotosin (STZ)
ile oluşturulan diyabetik sıçanlarda toprak üstü kök ve gövde liyoflize
ekstresinin oksidatif stres belirteçleri üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek için
tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın deneysel modellemesine göre, toplam 36 adet erkek
sıçan rastgele altı gruba ayrıldı. İlk grup, normal kontrol (NK), ikinci grup
streptozotosin (STZ) deneysel diyabet oluşturuldu (DK). Üçüncü grup, standart
drug- akarboz (DAK) deneme süresince verildi. Dört, beş ve altıncı gruplardaki sıçanlar
STZ ile diyabet oluşturulduktan sonra sırasıyla 100, 200 ve 400 mg/kg (DAR 100,
DAR 200, DAR 400 mg/kg.) doz aralığında Arum
rupicola liyoflize ekstresi gavaj yolu sıçanlara verildi.

Bu çalışmada Antioksidan savunma sistemi
unsurlarından olan süperoksit dismutaz (SOD), glutatyon peroksidaz (GPx),
katalaz (CAT) aktivitesi ile non-enzimatik antioksidan olan glutatyon (GSH)'un
düzeylerinin ölçümleri gerçekleştirildi. Ayrıca, lipit peroksidasyonun (LPO)
son ürünü malondialdehit (MDA) içeriği ölçüldü. Diyabetik gruplarda, uygulama
dozlarının tümünde SOD, GPx ve CAT ve GSH düzeylerindeki azalışlar normal
kontrol (NK) grubuna göre anlamlı bulundu. Ancak eritrosit ve karaciğer
dokularında lipit peroksidasyonu sonucu oluşan MDA'in düzeyinde görülen azalma
normal kontrol ve diyabetik kontrol gruplarına göre anlamlı bulundu (p≤0.05). Diğer
yandan, beyin dokusu DAR3 grubunda ve böbrek dokusu DAR1, DAR2, DAR3
gruplarında artan MDA düzeyleri istatiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Bitki
ekstresi uygulanan diyabetik gruplarda, farklı dokularda belirlenen değişken
SOD, GPx ve CAT aktivite ve GSH’un ölçümleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
bulundu (p≤0.05).

Sonuç olarak Arum rupicola, diyabetik sıçanlarda oksidatif strese karşı
uygulanan bitki ekstresinin doz aralığına göre dokudan-dokuya farklılık
gösteren antioksidatif etkiye sahip olduğu söylenebilir.

Статья посвящена исследованию симулякров и симуляций в медицинской практике. В ней рассматривается различие между понятиями «симулякр» и «симуляция» с позиции авторов статьи, раскрывается симуляционное в философском смысле происхождение клинического исследования. Добавляется еще один важный аспект применения плацебо-эффекта как симулякра в медицине.

Также в статье широко раскрывается роль софизмов как необходимых симулякров в ходе коммуникации, в том числе на уровне «врач — пациент». Симуляция используется как средство для достижения цели. Скрытый смысл содержит преимущественно отрицательный, социально непопулярный компонент, что и предопределяет использование симуляции для достижения реальной цели.
Heranças da escrita desde a condição feminina: notas sobre pintura e literatura
Authors: Jardim Luciana Abreu
Published: September 2019

Na intenção de problematizar os efeitos do primado do falo em nossa cultura escrita, propõe-se um retorno a heranças soterradas pela hegemonia falocrática. Nesse sentido, a alternativa sugerida contra o rebaixamento da escrita produzida pelas mulheres encontra no pensamento de Julia Kristeva um caminho a ser percorrido pela teoria da literatura. A proposta sustenta-se no retorno a algumas referências pictóricas ocidentais que participam de diferentes obras dessa pensadora. No cruzamento da pintura e literatura, encontra-se em Polylogue a recuperação da leitura de Giotto por Matisse e reflexões acerca da cor. Em Possessões, nota-se que o debate se mantém a partir das reflexões em torno de Artemísia Gentileschi e de Georgia O’Keeffe. No volume O ódio e o perdão, as cartas o’keeffianas aprofundam a relação entre sua pintura e possíveis transformações sintáticas. Trata-se, portanto, de localizar, ao longo da obra de Kristeva, argumentos que produzam abertura a escritas por vir.
Do passado como futuro da crítica: “competência performativa” e “formas de escrita” nos Estudos Literários
Authors: Araújo Nabil
Published: September 2019

A partir da clássica reflexão metacrítica de Northrop Frye na “Introdução polêmica” à sua Anatomia da crítica (1957), na qual o autor defende uma concepção de “crítica como ciência” contra a concepção de “crítica como literatura”, voltamo-nos para a recente reflexão metacrítica de Ottmar Ette em SaberSobreViver: a (o)missão da filologia (2015), na qual o autor propõe uma “história especializada das formas de escrita” nos Estudos Literários que efetue “uma perspectivação crítica de sua tradição”, visando à sua “reinvenção”. Relendo, em contraste com a leitura de Ette, as considerações metodológicas de Erich Auerbach em Mimesis (1946), apresentamos a concepção de método-como-jogo como inerente à “competência performativa” a ser promovida por uma nova formação estética (Bildung) no tempo presente.

Decomposition of green manure biomass in dystrophic Yellow Latosol in Piauí state, Brazil
Authors: Teodoro Mauro Sergio , De Souza Henrique Antunes , Nunes Rodrigues Braz Henrique , De Seixas Santos Francisco José
Published: September 2019

Although most research demonstrates the importance of green manure, some aspects have yet to be elucidated. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the biomass decomposition pattern of plants used as green manure in dystrophic Yellow Latosol (coastal caatinga phase), under a dry megathermal climate, with a small water surplus. A completely randomized design was used, with nineteen treatments and four repetitions. The decomposition constant (k), remaining dry biomass and half-life (T1/2) of the residue after 120 days in the field were assessed. Cowpea, jack bean and sunflower (cv. Catissol and IAC Uruguai) are rapidly decomposing species with a half-life ranging from 98 to 112 days to decompose 50% of biomass. Dwarf pigeon pea, crotalária juncea, sorghum 1 and siratro are slow-decomposing species, with a 315 to 630-day half-life to decompose 50% of biomass. Both groups are recommended for intercropping because the decomposition rate of their plant residue is compatible with soil protection and nutrient supply, in addition to being sync with the nutrient requirements of cash crops.

Published: September 2019

O ensino superior em engenharia é voltado ao desenvolvimento de jovens e adultos para atuação em ambientes empresariais que requerem habilidades sociais como o trabalho em equipe e o raciocínio lógico. Para tanto, as metodologias ativas de ensino podem facilitar a aprendizagem de conteúdos teóricos densos e promover sua conexão com a prática, principalmente para o ensino andragógico. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo aplicar uma metodologia ativa de ensino adaptada do método PBL (Problem-Based Learning), conhecida como jogos empresariais, durante a disciplina de processos gerenciais e gestão da qualidade para o curso de Engenharia Química. As aulas foram divididas em uma parte teórica e outra prática orientada para o desenvolvimento de um produto em uma produção simulada em sala de aula, em três lotes produtivos. Os alunos, divididos em grupos, foram responsáveis pela coleta de dados, análise e aplicação das ferramentas de gestão da qualidade em seus processos, visando a entrega de um dossiê escrito ao final da disciplina e a realização de avaliações individuais. Os resultados indicaram a viabilidade na aplicação da metodologia, verificada pelo engajamento dos alunos na participação das atividades propostas. Os alunos também indicaram que a metodologia foi interessante e auxiliou no processo de aprendizado em grupo, também confirmado pelo bom rendimento da turma nas avaliações individuais. Este trabalho contribui para a reprodutibilidade no uso dessa metodologia para disciplinas de engenharia e sustenta os benefícios na exploração de metodologias ativas de ensino.

Indicators are important tools to guide and assist decision-makers. They are also important to get to know the scenario of a given place and monitor its development. This study aimed to analyze the behavior of the municipalities of Marajó-PA through indicators that cover social, economic, housing and sanitation, using a statistical technique of multivariate analysis to group these into a small number of homogeneous groups. In order to choose the indicators, we carried out a checklist of national, regional and local academic papers dealing with sustainability. Then, the indicators were standardized according to the different units and scales of measurement, not influencing the result and presenting similar weights in the calculation of the similarity coefficient. The measure of dissimilarity used was the euclidean distance and for the composition of the groupings the Ward and k-Means methods were applied. The result obtained using Ward’s hierarchical grouping method enabled the reduction of the numbers of municipalities to a number of 4 probable groups with similar attributes within the group and distinct among the others. It also presented a cofenetic correlation coefficient (CCC) of (r = 0.81), indicating a good degree of fit between the dendrogram and the dissimilarity matrix. The results indicated that the formation of the clusters and the municipalities integrated in them presented similarity both in the hierarchical and non-hierarchical methods. In the k-means method it was found that almost all municipalities that make territorial division remained within the same group.

Un modelo matemático para controlar el chikungunya
Authors: Contreras Laura
Published: October 2019

La alianza entre las matemáticas y la medicina comenzó en el siglo XVIII con los aportes que hizo el matemático Daniel Bernoulli al estudio de la viruela, cuando formuló un modelo matemático que intentaba explicar la propagación de esta enfermedad. Pero solo hasta principios del siglo XX la epidemiología matemática ha contribuido en fortalecer las políticas de salud pública en todo el mundo. En la Universidad El Bosque hay varias experiencias significativas al respecto, aquí una de ellas.
Profesores y estudiantes como actores: el aula como escenario
Authors: Camargo Lemos Ricardo David
Published: October 2019

Ejercer una actividad, profesión u oficio conlleva, de forma expresa, tácita, o incluso insospechada, la presentación y puesta en escena de un rol en particular. Como en las obras teatrales, en la vida existen actores, escenarios, auditorios, expectativas y creencias sobre el papel de quienes intervienen. Por supuesto, la escena académica no es la excepción.
La construcción de una nueva subjetividad: Stanislaw Lem y su propuesta en Fábulas de robots
Authors: López Chacón Yerson Alejandro
Published: October 2019

este artículo busca establecer un diálogo entre la literatura de la ciencia ficción y la filosofía contemporánea, para evidenciar cómo este género literario se convierte en la expresión de una nueva subjetividad, frente a la crisis de sentido en la que haya inmerso el sujeto dentro de la civilización tecnológica. Para ello se analizan los aportes de la obra Fábulas de robots y la postura crítica de Stanislaw Lem. Así, se argumenta como la literatura de CF, expuesta por el autor polaco, es un horizonte de sentido que se despliega en distintos mundos posibles, para que el sujeto pueda agenciar su devenir y habitar poéticamente su realidad.
Feliksa Jarońskiego koncepcja filozofii a kultura przełomu XVIII i XIX w.
Authors: Janeczek Stanisław
Published: September 2019

Artykuł analizuje program filozoficzny Feliksa Jarońskiego, profesora Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, sformułowany w dwu pierwszych dziesięcioleciach wieku XIX. Ukazuje go na tle przemian w kulturze filozoficznej przełomu wieku XVIII i XIX, przede wszystkim w aspekcie oddziaływania szkockiej filozofii zdrowego rozsądku, kantyzmu i tradycjonalizmu, przełamującego minimalistyczne i sekularystyczne tendencje oświecenia. Ustosunkowuje się do dotychczasowych interpretacji i formułuje własną, łącząc dokonanie Jarońskiego z długim ciągiem philosophia recentiorum, zapoczątkowanej w połowie XVIII w., ale będącej standardem akademickim i na początku wieku XIX, choć stale modyfikowanej o asymilację zmieniających się autorytetów filozoficznych. Mimo jej eklektyzmu zachowała ona aspiracje maksymalistyczne (zachowując metafizykę) oraz otwarcie na religię, a nawet na chrystianizm. W końcu sygnalizująco zestawiono to dokonanie ze standardami kultury filozoficznej i naukowej początków wieku XXI, kwestionującej standardowy charakter naturalizmu ugruntowanego na ideale wąsko pojętej filozofii naukowej.
Trabajo, miserias y recompensas: Asistentes sociales, enfermeras y matronas en la construcción de la política sanitaria chilena a mediados del siglo XX
Authors: González Moya Maricela , Zárate Campos María Soledad
Published: October 2019

El artículo busca mostrar el aporte realizado por asistentes sociales, enfermeras y matronas a la exitosa política de salud pública de mediados del siglo XX en Chile, llevada a cabo por el Servicio Nacional de Salud en el marco de un modelo de desarrollo estatista y benefactor. Se han utilizado fuentes documentales de diverso tipo y testimonios de asistentes, enfermeras y matronas entrevistadas para la investigación. Las profesionales, encargadas fundamentalmente de tareas operativas y en contacto directo con la población usuaria del Servicio Nacional de Salud, fueron artífices de la instalación de una verdadera pedagogía sanitaria que cambió el patrón epidemiológico y trastocó la cultura de la población chilena, incidiendo en la valoración del autocuidado y la prevención. Como ejecutoras, sortearon las dificultades inherentes al trabajo burocratizado de los programas sociales pero, a la vez, recibieron gratificaciones diversas de tipo afectivo y altruista, que las hizo sentirse protagonistas de una construcción histórica.
Soundproof Silences? Towards a Sound History of Silence
Authors: Lichau Karsten
Published: October 2019

This article calls for a sound history of silence. Widely neglected within sound-historical research, exploring the manifold sounds of silence not only fills a lacuna in scholarship, but also poses critical challenges to current discussions in the flourishing field of sound history. This theoretical claim is based on empirical case studies from another still unwritten history: the political and cultural history of the minute’s silence, a political commemoration ceremony established in the aftermath of World War I. A practice theory approach makes it possible to understand how silence was produced in specific historical contexts through a complex set of cognitive, emotional, logistical, media, physiological, sensorial and kinesthetic practices that engage (or not) with the official call for silence and make it into success or failure. Conceiving of silence as a complex acoustical practice, the article aims to establish silence as a full-fledged topic of research at the centre of sound history and to inspire research on the historical and contemporary interplay between political structures and sensory or bodily practices.

Experimental Investigation of Using Sandwich Panels as Infill Plate in a Steel Plate Shear Wall
Authors: DUSAK Said , YALÇIN Cem , YELGİN Ahmet Necati
Published: September 2019

A total of five steel frame specimens, one bare and four infilled, were designed with thin-walled steel sheets and corrugated sandwich infill panels in order to increase their load and energy dissipation capacity. For this experimental study, single-story, single-bay steel frames of nominally-pinned beam-to-column connections were prepared with a scale ratio of 1:3. A quasi-static cyclic loading pattern was applied to the control bare and infilled steel frames, and their behavior was investigated both experimentally and analytically using SAP2000 and ABAQUS finite element software. First, five identical bare steel frame specimens were prepared and one of them was tested as a control specimen, and its rigidity and cyclic behavior was determined experimentally. Then, two sandwich panel specimens were prepared by connecting sandwich panels in the second and third bare steel frames using appropriate connections. The fourth specimen had only a single steel plate infill. Finally, the fifth specimen was prepared by removing the polyurethane material from inside the sandwich panel and only steel plates were attached to both faces of the frame. This way, it was possible to compare the effect of the polyurethane material inside the sandwich panel and the corrugated steel plate on the overall system behavior. In all specimens, the infill plates were fastened to the frame connection profiles using self-drilling screws and the responses of the specimens were compared in terms of their maximum load capacity, initial stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity values under cyclic loading. The experimental and analytical investigations showed that, similarly to steel plate infills, the specimens with sandwich panels also behaved in a ductile manner with relatively lower load and energy dissipation capacities. Results of the strip model and the finite element model analyses were then compared with the experimental results and they were both found to be in good agreement.

Purpose: Currently due to Kazakhstan's high vulnerability to external shocks, Kazakhstan needs new growth factors to accelerate and provide more inclusive growth. The National Bank of Kazakhstan, as the central bank, is responsible for the development and implementation of state monetary and credit policy within the framework of powers provided by current legislation. Objectives of monetary policy are primarily carried out to achieve this goal. Restoration of trust to actions of economic authorities is possible only if a balanced and responsible policy, supported by concrete actions and results, is implemented.

Methodology: This study provides a literature review of domestic and foreign authors, who conducted the study of monetary policy of Central Banks of countries in various aspects of international experience.  The study gives an analytical overview of the current monetary policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Main Findings: The study discusses the importance of Kazakhstan’s monetary-credit regulation as only by means of effective monetary policy state can mitigate economic crises, restrain inflation growth and stimulate investments in various sectors of country's economy. The studies are systematized theoretical and methodological research aspects of the monetary policy of Kazakhstan of which the conclusions and recommendations proposed to improve the economy of our country.

Implications/Applications:  This suggests that we should work in the near future, look for drivers of growth, so as to ensure not just an anti-crisis manual management of the economy, but to enter the rails of sustainable development.
