Nondestructive Testing of High Reinforced Concrete Chimneys
Authors: Maj Marek , Ubysz Andrzej , Hammadeh Hala , Askifi Farzat
Published: June 2019

The nondestructive testing of reinforced concrete chimneys, especially the high ones, is an important element of the assessment of their condition, making it possible to forecast their safe service lifespan. Industrial chimneys are often exposed to the strong action of acidic substances – they are adversely affected by the flue gas condensate on the inside and by acid precipitation on the outside. Initially, this results in the corrosion of the shell concrete and then in the corrosion of the reinforcing steel. During the service life of such chimneys their condition should monitored in order to prevent structural failures and indicate the most endangered parts of the structure. Owing to thermographic surveys one can monitor the hazards leading to the degradation of the chimney structure, which is particularly vital when due to the character of the production process the chimney cannot be put out of operation. The methods for the interpretation of results from thermovision studies to determine the safety and durability of industrial chimneys are shown.

Authors: Yang Yuxia , Hu Ping , Zhou Xianjian , Wu Ping , Si Xinxin , Lu Bo , Zhu Yanxi , Xia Yanli
Published: June 2019

Background

Aconitum carmichaelii has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating various diseases for several thousand years. The biosynthetic pathway of some alkaloids such as C19-diterpenoid alkaloids has been reported, but pathways in different varieties of A. carmichaelii remain unknown. Herein, we performed transcriptome analysis of varieties A. carmichaelii and characterized the biosynthetic pathway of salsolinol. The results expand our knowledge of alkaloids biosynthesis, and provide a theoretical basis for analysing differences in alkaloids biosynthesis patterns in different varieties.

Results

A total of 56 million raw reads (8.28 G) and 55 million clean reads (8.24 G) were obtained from two varieties (Z175 and R184) leaf transcriptomes, respectively, and 176,793 unigenes were annotated using six protein databases. This yielded 6,873 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the two varieties, of which 281 are involved in the salsolinol biosynthetic pathway, including 158 and 75 related to glycolysis and the shikimate pathway, respectively. Furthermore, 843 DEGs were found to be involved in the formation of C19-diterpenoid alkaloids, with 34 differed between the two varieties. These target genes were analysed to explore differences in C19-diterpenoid alkaloid biosynthesis in Z175 and R184. In addition, 322 DEGs encoding transcription factors potentially related to alkaloid accumulation were identified.

Conclusions

The biosynthesis pathway for C19-diterpenoid alkaloids and salsolinol included 34 and 24 DEGs in Z175 and R184, respectively. Thus, genes involved in alkaloid biosynthesis and accumulation differ between varieties. The mechanisms underlying the differences and their relevance require further exploration.
The solution of optimization problems in the economy by overlaying integer lattices: applied aspect
Authors: Senchukov Viktor
Published: June 2019

The results of generalization of scientific approaches to the solution of modern economic optimization tasks have shown the need for a new vision of their solution based on the improvement of existing mathematical tools. It is established that the peculiarities of the practical use of existing mathematical tools for solving economic optimization problems are caused by the problems of enterprise management in the presence of nonlinear processes in the economy, which also require consideration of the corresponding characteristics of nonlinear dynamic processes. The approach to solving the problem of integer (discrete) programming associated with the difficulties that arise when applying precise methods (methods of separation and combinatorial methods) is proposed, namely: a fractional Gomorrhic algorithm – for solving entirely integer problems (by gradual "narrowing" areas of admissible solutions of the problem under consideration); the method of branches and borders - which involves replacing the complete overview of all plans by their partial directional over. Illustrative examples of schemes of geometric programming, fractional-linear programming, nonlinear programming with a non-convex region, fractional-nonlinear programming with a non-convex domain, and research on the optimum model of Cobb-Douglas model are given. The advanced mathematical tools on the basis of the method of overlaying integer grids (OIG), which will solve problems of purely discrete, and not only integer optimization, as an individual case, are presented in the context of solving optimization tasks of an applied nature and are more effective at the expense of reducing the complexity and duration of their solving. It is proved that appropriate analytical support should be used as an economic and mathematical tool at the stage of solving tasks of an economic nature, in particular optimization of the parameters of the processes of organization and preparation of production of new products of the enterprises of the real sector of the economy.
Designing zero-based budgeting for public organizations
Authors: Ibrahim Mukdad
Published: June 2019

Several systems of budgeting have been introduced into practice over the last fifty years. While more popular budgeting systems such as incrementalism and Planning Programming Budgeting Systems (PPBS) have seen continued popularity and resilience as budgeting systems, zero-based budgeting (ZBB) has experienced a resurgence in popularity, as governments and public organizations alike seek to control wasteful spending within their departments. The aim of this article is to provide users with a step-by-step guide to designing zero-based budgeting for public organizations. This article begins by describing the foundations of zero-based budgeting, as well as providing a brief comparative exploration of ZBB alongside other contemporary budgeting systems. To gain a deeper understanding of zero-base budgeting and the potential, as well as the drawbacks that this type of budgeting system holds, this paper examines the actual experience of several organizations that have implemented the zero-based budgeting method. This is accomplished by conducting a critical review of all the research and case studies that have been conducted on this topic. It is the hope of the author that both public sector and non-profit organizations will benefit from the findings of this paper when considering the implementation of their own zero-based budgeting, resulting in better planning and performance evaluation.

Handwashing instructions vary in complexity, with some recommending multiple steps. To assess whether complex handwashing instructions changed handwashing procedure replication, we conducted a randomized non-inferiority trial in a low-income area, Dhaka. We randomly assigned mothers and children aged 5–10 years to one of three handwashing instruction sets: simple (N = 85 mothers/134 children), moderate (N = 75 mothers/148 children), or complex (84 mothers/147 children). Simple instructions had three steps: wet, lather, and rinse hands, and moderate included the simple instructions plus steps to scrub palms, backs of hands, and dry hands in the air. Complex instructions included moderate instructions plus steps to scrub between fingers, under nails, and lather for 20 s. After baseline, cue cards were used to promote handwashing instructions, and adherence after 2 weeks of interventions was evaluated. Compliance with handwashing procedure replication to all instructions in simple, moderate, and complex increased after the intervention among mothers and children. Compliance to all instructions in the simple group was higher in the simple group (100%) compared to all instructions in moderate (47%) and complex instruction groups (38%). Simple handwashing steps are easier to remember for long time periods compared to complex steps.

Published: June 2019

A new concern about surface water quality is the occurrence of emerging contaminants that have being recognized as a new class of water contaminants such as antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, personal care products and pharmaceutical products. The occurrence of these contaminants in the aquatic environment and especially in surface water is a serious concern because this is usually the source of water for drinking water treatment plants (DWTP). This review provides a summary of the occurrence and the analytical methodology (extraction process, chromatography analysis, detection systems and ionization source) of emerging contaminant analysis in surface waters including rivers, lakes, creeks and wetlands for their analysis.

A Comparison of Physical Activity Mobile Apps With and Without Existing Web-Based Social Networking Platforms: Systematic Review
Authors: Petersen Jasmine Maria , Prichard Ivanka , Kemps Eva
Published: June 2019

Background

Physical activity mobile apps present a unique medium to disseminate scalable interventions to increase levels of physical activity. However, the effectiveness of mobile apps has previously been limited by low levels of engagement. Existing Web-based social networking platforms (eg, Facebook and Twitter) afford high levels of popularity, reach, and sustain engagement and, thus, may present an innovative strategy to enhance the engagement, and ultimately the effectiveness of mobile apps.

Objective

This study aimed to comparatively examine the effectiveness of, and engagement with, interventions that incorporate physical activity mobile apps in conjunction with and without existing Web-based social networking platforms (eg, Facebook and Twitter).

Methods

A systematic review was conducted by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Guidelines. A systematic search of the following databases was conducted: Medline, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, ProQuest, SPORTDiscus, EMBASE, and Cochrane. According to the comparative objective of this review, 2 independent literature searches were conducted. The first incorporated terms related to apps and physical activity; the second also incorporated terms related to Web-based social networking. The results of the two searches were synthesized and compared narratively.

Results

A total of 15 studies were identified, 10 incorporated a physical activity app alone and 5 incorporated an app in conjunction with an existing Web-based social networking platform. Overall, 10 of the 15 interventions were effective in improving one or more physical activity behaviors. Specifically, improvements in physical activity behaviors were reported in 7 of the 10 interventions incorporating physical activity apps alone and in 3 of the 5 interventions incorporating physical activity apps in conjunction with existing Web-based social networking platforms. Interventions incorporating physical activity apps alone demonstrated a decline in app engagement. In contrast, the physical activity apps in conjunction with existing Web-based social networking platforms showed increased and sustained intervention engagement.

Conclusions

The interventions incorporating physical activity apps in conjunction with and without existing Web-based social networking platforms demonstrated effectiveness in improving physical activity behaviors. Notably, however, the interventions that incorporated existing Web-based social networking platforms achieved higher levels of engagement than those that did not. This review provides preliminary evidence that existing Web-based social networking platforms may be fundamental to increase engagement with physical activity interventions.
Identifying Attrition Phases in Survey Data: Applicability and Assessment Study
Authors: Hochheimer Camille J , Sabo Roy T , Perera Robert A , Mukhopadhyay Nitai , Krist Alex H
Published: June 2019

Background

Although Web-based questionnaires are an efficient, increasingly popular mode of data collection, their utility is often challenged by high participant dropout. Researchers can gain insight into potential causes of high participant dropout by analyzing the dropout patterns.

Objective

This study proposed the application of and assessed the use of user-specified and existing hypothesis testing methods in a novel setting—survey dropout data—to identify phases of higher or lower survey dropout.

Methods

First, we proposed the application of user-specified thresholds to identify abrupt differences in the dropout rate. Second, we proposed the application of 2 existing hypothesis testing methods to detect significant differences in participant dropout. We assessed these methods through a simulation study and through application to a case study, featuring a questionnaire addressing decision-making surrounding cancer screening.

Results

The user-specified method set to a low threshold performed best at accurately detecting phases of high attrition in both the simulation study and test case application, although all proposed methods were too sensitive.

Conclusions

The user-specified method set to a low threshold correctly identified the attrition phases. Hypothesis testing methods, although sensitive at times, were unable to accurately identify the attrition phases. These results strengthen the case for further development of and research surrounding the science of attrition.
The Effects of a Humanoid Socially Assistive Robot Versus Tablet Training on Psychosocial and Physical Outcomes of Persons With Dementia: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Schüssler Sandra , Zuschnegg Julia , Paletta Lucas , Fellner Maria , Lodron Gerald , Steiner Josef , Pansy-Resch Sandra , Lammer Lara , Prodromou Dimitrios , Brunsch Sebastian , Holter Magdalena , Carnevale Lorenzo , Russegger Silvia
Published: June 2019

BACKGROUND

New technologies, like socially assistive robots (SARs), may have the potential to support caregivers at home. Still, the evidence for people with dementia in home care is unclear because a lot of studies are performed in a laboratory or institutional setting, and mainly use robots in prototype stages.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore the effects of the refined, commercially-available, humanoid SAR Pepper combined with a tablet PC–based dementia training program (Coach Pepper) versus an exclusively tablet PC–based dementia training program on psychosocial and physical outcomes of people with dementia living at home, including caregivers and dementia trainers. We hypothesize that Coach Pepper has a more positive effect on the primary outcome motivation (stable or decreased apathy) of people with dementia.

METHODS

A mixed methods study will be performed, including a randomized controlled, parallel, 2-arm study with a complementary qualitative part. This sample includes 40 PWD living at home and 40 relatives, each complemented with five professional caregivers and dementia trainers. The intervention group will receive Coach Pepper (a SAR connected with a tablet PC–based dementia training program), and the control group will receive exclusively tablet PC–based training without the SAR. The duration of the intervention will be three weeks per household. Data will be collected at baseline and during and after the intervention by standardized questionnaires, sensor data of the robot, and tablet PC, as well as semistructured interviews, focus groups, and observation.

RESULTS

To date, no results are available for this study protocol. The study intervention started in May 2019 and will end in Spring 2020.

CONCLUSIONS

The intervention of this study can be seen as a nonpharmacological intervention, including cognitive and physical training by a robot. This study will help to further refine SAR for the specific needs of people with dementia living at home.

Published: June 2019

Abstract

This study was carried out
to determine the diversity, abundance and seasonal distribution of microcrustacea
(Cladocera, Copepoda) in Kadıköy Reservoir. For this purpose, microcrustacea
and water samples was taken at monthly internals from March 2010 to February
2011 in three different stations from the reservoir. As a result of qualitative and
quantitative analyses of the samples, a total of 27 taxa, 19 taxa from
Cladocera and 8 taxa from Copepoda were identified. The quantitative evaluation
of the samples revealed an average value of 51463 ind/m3 in the
reservoir. The annual average values according to the groups were 33766 ind/m3
(66%) for Cladocera and 17697 ind/m3 (34%) for Copepoda. According
to the water quality standards, the temperature, pH, nitrate nitrogen, sulphate
and phosphate were found at first and second quality levels. In terms of
dissolved oxygen the water was found at first quality level, nitrite nitrogen
was found between second and third quality levels. Microcrustacea fauna and physicochemical
parameters were evaluated together and the reservoir was concluded to be a meso-eutrophic
water body
Vinileiros – a vídeo-etnografia do colecionador de vinil
Authors: Fleck João Pedro Dos Santos , Rossi Carlos Alberto Vargas
Published: June 2019

Este artigo versa sobre os colecionadores de discos de vinil da cidade de Porto Alegre. O disco de vinil tem junto aos colecionadores um significado pessoal. As entrevistas conduzidas com colecionadores e comerciantes peritos e a utilização de uma pesquisa multimetodológica permitiram resultados mais abrangentes e pertinentes, indicando que alguns dos colecionadores parecem deslocados do tempo e da realidade em que estão inseridos. A maioria possui um sentimento de nostalgia para com os discos, mas, maior que esse, é o sentimento indissolúvel de envolvimento que se cria ao longo dos anos entre o colecionador e a coleção.
Braços cortados: o realismo fílmico e a antropologia visual
Authors: Zoettl Peter Anton
Published: June 2019

A antropologia visual, desde os seus primeiros dias, vive perseguida pelo fantasma do paradigma «realista». Enquanto na antropologia textual o debate do writing culture finalmente desacreditou a ideia de uma escrita "objectiva", a reflexão teórica e a práxis fílmica dos antropólogos que empregam imagens na sua produção e representação de saberes, repetidamente continua a se referir a noções «realistas» como fonte da sua metodologia. O artigo sugere uma semelhança estrutural entre as ideias «realistas» antropológico-visuais, e o discurso do «realismo» fílmico, como aparece na história do cinema nos escritos de Bazin e outros autores. Partindo desse pressuposto, propõe-se uma maior liberdade “artística” nos trabalhos etnográficos filmados, para que a antropologia visual consiga, deste modo, tirar maior proveito das capacidades sintéticas e analíticas das imagens em movimento.
Pensar uma antropologia das profundezas à luz de questões de epistemologia genética
Authors: Rocha Ana Luiza Carvalho da
Published: June 2019

Inicialmente gostaria de agradecer o convite que me foi feito para participar deste encontro, pois enquanto antropóloga, trabalhando há sete anos no GEEMPA com o processo de escolarização de alunos de classes populares de Porto Alegre, encontro aqui uma chance de interlocução com pesquisadores e intelectuais de outras áreas preocupados com o tema das aprendizagens humanas.   Minha participação neste encontro constituir-se-á de uma reflexão em torno dos comentários de J. Piaget acerca da natureza social da mente humana no sentido de cotejá- la com as produções recentes da sociologia das profundezas, em particular, com a tradição de pensamento inaugurada pelos estudos de G. Durand sobre as estruturas antropológicas do imaginário.   Inicialmente cabe ressaltar que minha intenção aqui é trazer algumas reações de estudos da Antropologia do imaginário às abordagens da epistemologia genética quanto ao fenômeno das diferenças das formas de pensamento geradas no interior das sociedades humanas. Em particular, refiro-me aos estudos piagetianos a respeito do aparecimento do fenômeno da existência de representações coletivas racionais no bojo da vida social.
Carrinheiros: cotidiano e itinerários urbanos de catadores de lixo da Vila Cruzeiro em Porto Alegre
Authors: Natalino Marco Antonio Carvalho
Published: June 2019

O presente estudo tem por objetivo estudar o cotidiano e os itinerários urbanos de carrinheiros (também conhecidos como papeleiros), moradores da Vila Cruzeiro de Porto Alegre. Trata-se de um grupo social pertencente às classes populares, que moram em território valorado negativamente no contexto urbano porto-alegrense. Tendo por ofício a coleta de lixo das ruas e calçadas em bairros vizinhos à sua moradia, os carrinheiros cotidianamente estão em situação de interação com atores sociais dotados de diferente visão do espaço social da metrópole. Nas ruas e avenidas, bairros e redes sociais, suas interações são mediadas não só pelo olhar inquisidor de moradores e pelo confronto tenso com motoristas; também se constituem na interação direta entre os carrinheiros e a metrópole, pelo lixo que esta produz. Dessas relações emergem redes de sociabilidade e reciprocidade que permitem aos carrinheiros manter seu modo de vida, mas também formas de estigmatização, violência física e simbólica, exclusão e precarização das condições de existência dos mesmos.
Cidade como lugar próprio e do absoluto: os dilemas de uma política de valorização de bens culturais
Authors: Rocha Ana Luiza Carvalho da
Published: June 2019

Que experiência singular revela a Cidade que nos possibilite enriquecer o debate em torno de bens culturais intangíveis no corpo de uma reflexão conceitual maior sobre uma política de preservação cultural em Porto Alegre, capital do estado do Rio Grande do Sul? Inicialmente, é importante situar que existem muitas formas de se abordar a Cidade do ponto de vista da preservação e valorização de seus bens culturais. Para iniciar este assunto escolho, não de forma arbitrária, desenvolver a idéia de que a Cidade como fenômeno que encerra um espaço humanizado singular preserva valores éticos e morais coletivos profundamente enraizados na Grande Tradição da cultura ocidental.   Gostaria de inverter um pouco o percurso do debate que costuma se tecer em torno do patrimônio cultural e recolocar o tema da preservação de bens culturais coletivos no corpo das formações de significado intrinsecamente construídas por nossa cultura ocidental acerca da Cidade. Ou seja, trata-se de se situar lendas, crenças, saberes e fazeres, histórias, tradições, hábitos e costumes do homem ocidental no corpo dos processos de criação e fabricação da Cidade e suas repercussões para uma política de valorização de seus bens culturais no meio urbano contemporâneo.
A imagem que permanece, a narrativa que interpreta: estudo antropológico da memória afetiva da guardiã dos retratos de família
Authors: Eckert Cornelia , Mylius Leandra
Published: June 2019

Esta pesquisa consiste num estudo de antropologia visual sobre “retratos de família”. Trata-se da classificação e análise de uma coleção de fotografias referentes a duas linhagens familiares: Roca e Barcellos. Considerando a fotografia histórica como um “dado antropológico”, propomos aqui a análise de fotos de família, buscando perceber qual o estatuto da fotografia para o grupo pesquisado, de que maneira estas imagens acionam a memória dos descendentes das pessoas retratadas e quais as representações sobre família para o grupo em questão, apresentadas a partir das imagens.   Dois fatos determinaram a realização deste trabalho: em primeiro lugar, tenho desenvolvido atividades junto ao Núcleo de Antropologia Visual da UFRGS, tendo participado de cursos e oficinas sobre a utilização da fotografia na pesquisa antropológica, despertando o interesse sobre o tema. Em segundo lugar, houve uma doação de fotografias de família para o Banco de Imagens e Efeitos Visuais3. Isto nos incentivou a tomar este material como objeto de estudo antropológico sobre o tema memória e família.   Realizou-se, então, um estudo etnográfico sobre esses retratos de família. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa contatamos a doadora dos retratos, Daisy Macedo de Barcellos, professora do Departamento de Antropologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, que concordou em colaborar com nossa pesquisa, analisando as imagens, identificando os retratos e narrando a história familiar. Além das fotografias doadas ao Banco de Imagens e Efeitos Visuais, tivemos acesso à coleção fotográfica da família Roca e Barcellos, atualmente aos cuidados de Daisy, e que abrange quatro gerações destas famílias.
"Espetáculo de rua": manifestações culturais no Largo Glênio Peres e no Brique da Redenção na cidade de Porto Alegre-RS
Authors: Garcia Neiva Rosa
Published: June 2019

Porto Alegre é privilegiada no que diz respeito à diversidade de manifestações culturais de rua, expressa pelo trabalho de vários “artistas de rua” que já fazem parte do cotidiano dessa cidade. Cada artista possui características comuns e especificidades em relação ao seu trabalho e atraem um grande público em suas apresentações, as quais são verdadeiros espetáculos ao ar livre, aglutinando pessoas de camadas sociais distintas. Quem transita por locais de grande afluência poderá encontrá-los cercados de observadores curiosos. Muitos desses eventos culturais são manifestações populares que ocorrem no espaço da rua ao longo de muitos séculos, pois o oficio de “artista de rua” é muito antigo.   Alguns autores, como Peter Burke (1989) e Milkhail Bakhtin (1996), examinaram, em suas obras, a forma de trabalho dos artistas que se apresentavam nas ruas e feiras, transitando de cidade em cidade, divertindo o público com suas brincadeiras que faziam rir e, muitas vezes, criticando de forma debochada e brincalhona a sociedade em que viviam.
Contribuição ao estudo dos espaços de consumo cultural na cidade de Porto Alegre: A identidade do Brique da Redenção

Published: June 2019

Falar sobre a sociedade humana é falar sobre comunicação. As relações entre as pessoas, e também delas com o seu ambiente, estão diluídas no universo da comunicação. Seja pela comunicação interpessoal ou, mais modernamente, por aquela dirigida às massas, o ser humano é agente, meio e alvo de um sistema de trocas sociais e simbólicas que alteram-se constantemente. O homem se transforma lado a lado com a sua capacidade de comunicar, fazendo com que as transformações sociais o acompanhem. E não seria exagero dizer que é um necessidade humana fazer-se expressar.   Os estudiosos da comunicação há anos analisam o fenômeno como uma ‘transmissão intensional de mensagens entre um emissor e um receptor’. Esse tratamento do conceito de comunicação é chamado por Winkin (1998) de “a velha comunicação”. É uma abordagem mecanicista, que dominou a pesquisa em comunicação desde 1940, com sua institucionalização pelo mundo. Pela simplicidade em resolver as questões (alguém transmite algo a outro alguém através de um meio), a velha comunicação floresce até hoje. Em contrapartida, Winkin fala também em uma outra comunicação, cuja visão do tema é mais exigente e rompe com o senso comum, a qual ele chama de nova comunicação2. Essa visão coloca a comunicação em uma perspectiva ‘orquestral’.
Uma historia de amor à antiga através dos cartões postais

Olhar, hoje, para uma coleção de postais como esta que nós temos o prazer de trazer ao conhecimento do publico e que trata de um conjunto de belos e raros cartões trocados entre dois jovens e destes com sua rede de amigos, guardada há mais de 100 anos, numa pequena caixa de madeira por sua família, pode despertar uma simples curiosidade a respeito de fatos pitorescos ou esquisitos que marcaram as formas de sociabilidade entre rapazes e moças numa determinada época, na cidade de Porto Alegre.   Entretanto, acreditamos que entre muitas outras, há uma forma de olhar esta coleções de psotais, mais cuidadosa seria aquela que nos conduziria a compreender toda a complexidade das formas de sociabilidade que orientaram a vida destes dois jovens da amizade, ao namoro, ao noivado e, finalmente, ao casamento, pensando-se este ciclo no tempo e no espaço de duração de suas vidas.   Vamos convidar o leitor a apreciar os diferentes matizes que configuraram a troca de cartões postais no interior de uma rede social de jovens de camadas médias urbanas do qual resultou a historia de amor, entre Maria Angélica Casado (Mariquinhas) e Eduardo Marques Junior (Dudu), e que envolveu parentes e amigos do casal apaixonado. Uma historia de amor e de paixão entre dois jovens de Porto Alegre dos primórdios do século XIX que para ser compreendida na grandeza do gesto humano que ela representa nos convoca a pensá-la no interior de um espaço fantástico, o da memória coletiva das formas de expressão das relações de amizade e amorosas que herdamos de nossos antepassados.
Etnografia de uma catástrofe estudo de antropologia urbana e visual sobre os desafios da natureza e a sobrevivência como modo de vida entre moradores de Águas Claras, Viamão
Authors: Buaes Aline Greff , Eckert Cornelia
Published: June 2019

Neste trabalho de pesquisa desenvolvo um estudo de caso sobre as experiências enfrentadas pela comunidade de Águas Claras, distrito do município de Viamão, quando de uma catástrofe natural, um princípio de ciclone acontecido em outubro do ano de 2000. Através da análise de suas narrativas busco conhecer suas interpretações sobre esta brusca ruptura da rotina. A repercussão dessa catástrofe sobre suas condições de vida, atingindo famílias e comunidades, quando correm risco de vida e perdem boa parte de seus bens materiais, é analisada a partir de suas narrativas sobre o caso, onde tecem referências identitárias de trajetórias pessoais, familiares e coletivas.   No ano de 2000, como bolsista de iniciação científica do Núcleo de Antropologia Visual (PPGAS, UFRGS) passei a desenvolver a pesquisa intitulada “Os Desafios da Natureza: estudo de antropologia urbana e visual sobre o cotidiano de sobrevivência como modo de vida na cidade”. Esse estudo se desenvolve no âmbito do projeto de pesquisa individual da Profª. Dra. Cornelia Eckert, intitulado “Feições dos medos e das crises no ritmo das sociabilidades cotidianas na cidade: estudo etnográfico”. Com o objetivo de estudar junto a famílias em vilas populares na “grande” Porto Alegre as experiências vividas a partir de catástrofes naturais, como inundações, ventanias, incêndios, a fim de conhecer suas narrativas sobre estas descontinuidades nas previsibilidades cotidianas.   As populações economicamente desfavorecidas estão entres as mais ameaçadas pelas tragédias provocadas pela natureza, consideradas como conseqüências do desenvolvimento incontrolado dos grandes centros urbanos e dos efeitos degradantes ao ambiente no século XX.   Acidentes ambientais ou catástrofes naturais repercutem sobre as condições de vida e sociabilidades de grupos urbanos em regiões urbanas. Nessas experiências, as imagens resgatadas pela população servem de instrumento para configurar e contextualizar o evento. As imagens anteriores ao evento os auxiliam a rememorar a vida antes da catástrofe, e algumas vezes, repensando a realidade em comparação com o antigo modo de vida. As imagens da imprensa sobre a tragédia, guardadas pelas vítimas, auxiliam na configuração de uma identidade de grupo enquanto sobrevivente de uma catástrofe natural. Essas imagens coletadas são importantes na construção das narrativas dos moradores, onde se desenvolve uma memória afetiva e coletiva.
Associations Between Linoleic Acid Intake and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Among U.S. Men and Women

Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the association between intakes of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and type 2 diabetes risk in three prospective cohort studies of U.S. men and women.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We followed 83,648 women from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) (1980–2012), 88,610 women from NHSII (1991–2013), and 41,771 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS) (1986–2012). Dietary data were collected every 2–4 years by using validated food-frequency questionnaires. Self-reported incident diabetes, identified biennially, was confirmed by using a validated supplementary questionnaire.

RESULTS

During 4.93 million person-years of follow-up, 18,442 type 2 diabetes cases were documented. Dietary n-6 PUFAs accounted for 4.4–6.8% of total energy, on average, and consisted primarily of linoleic acid (LA) (≥98%). In multivariate-adjusted models, hazard ratios (95% CIs) of type 2 diabetes risk comparing extreme n-6 PUFA quintiles (highest vs. lowest) were 0.91 (0.85, 0.96) (Ptrend = 0.002) for total n-6 PUFAs and 0.92 (0.87, 0.98) (Ptrend = 0.01) for LA. In an isocaloric substitution model, diabetes risk was 14% (95% CI 5%, 21%) (P = 0.002) lower when LA isocalorically replaced saturated fats (5% of energy), 17% (95% CI 9%, 24%) (P < 0.001) lower for trans fats (2% of energy), or 9% (95% CI 17%, 0.1%) (P = 0.047) lower for carbohydrates (5% of energy). Replacing n-3 PUFAs or monounsaturated fats with LA was not significantly associated with type 2 diabetes risk.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study provides additional evidence that LA intake is inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, especially when replacing saturated fatty acids, trans fats, or carbohydrates.

Indonesian corporations have been borrowing large sums of money from foreign investors in the past decade, such that private debt ratio has reached 49% of Indonesia’s total external debt by the end of 2017. This act of borrowing might improve the borrowing firms’ performance which leads to increase in profit, but in other hand it might result on debt value expansion, due to the exchange rate depreciation trend in Indonesia. This paper employs Support Vector Regression, a machine-learning method, to study the relationship between factors that might affect corporate performance, and compares the results with that of the conventional panel data regression method. The study was done using data from annual financial statements of 189 firms in Indonesia during 2011-2017.

It is shown that the machine-learning approach discussed in this study gave better accuracy than the previously employed panel data regression method. Both methods generally showed that balance-sheet effect is more dominant in Indonesian corporations, and it is recommended for companies to minimize their foreign debts and imported purchases, and if possible, export more of their products.

This paper compares the result generated by the Regenerator technique and the Ideriah’s method for instantaneous solar radiation. It considered the generation of the actual power input from the regenerator. The actual power input to the photovoltaic panel was calculated from a power model derived from the regenerator’s standard power that is nominally provided, regenerator material and reflectivity of the material. The amount of visible radiation absorbable by photovoltaic plates was further derived in the model and a value of 0.386Pi was obtained. The Ideriah’s model was used to calculate global solar radiation from extraterrestrial solar radiation. It utilized the concept of transmittance to arrive at the amount of insolation received locally (i.e. at the point of interest). It also calculated the amount of insolation at optical thicknesses (Air mass values) representing top of the hour from 5.0am to 7.0pm. Comparison & result showed that the regenerator model gave 84% to 97% correctness or an approximated average correctness of 94% when compared to the Ideriah’s model. Chi-square was used to test the relationship between the results. Chi-square results showed a high level of significance in the similarity of the results obtained. Python software was used to simulate the results and graph presentation.

Abstract: This paper aims to find out the response of students in looking at the works of lecturers at IAIN Purwokerto and to know the absorption of students to the knowledge delivered by lecturers who have works (modules or textbooks). The results of this study found that Purwokerto's IAIN students had quite interesting views on the lecturers' works displayed in lectures to inspire. They also want to work by generating ideas, only lacking direction. Students' absorption of knowledge delivered by lecturers who have works (modules or textbooks) is realized through three things, namely through efforts to make their works published in the form of books (joint and single anthologies), publishing works in mass media (newspapers, journals, or magazine), and participation in competitions featuring works. The direction and guidance from the lecturers make them produce creative and innovative power in a race that has strict supervision. In this published domain, the seriousness of the work of students can be tested, besides they will later produce works in the form of a thesis as research at the end of the learning process.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the problem of managerial commitment based on IQF. The IQF is an embodiment of the quality and identity of the Indonesian nation in relation to the national education system, the national job training system and the national equality assessment system owned by the Indonesian nation. The basic principle developed in the IQF is to assess a person's performance in scientific aspects, expertise, and skills in accordance with learning outcomes. One fundamental aspect is strengthening student competencies through various academic activities that support increased managerial competence, both intra-curriculum, and extra curriculum. By strengthening competencies in real terms, it is expected that graduates of study programs can be accepted or at least relevant to the world of work needed by the community.

This type of research is qualitative research. The researcher explores in order to understand and explain the problems under study through intensive relationships with speakers, through interviews, observation, Forum Group Discussion, questionnaires and documentation studies. Data analysis is the process of systematically searching for and compiling data obtained from observations, interviews, FGDs, questionnaires and documentation by organizing data into categories, describing them into units, synthesizing, arranging into patterns, choosing which ones are important and which ones will be studied and make conclusions so that they are easily understood by themselves and others.

The findings in this study outline the students have the same perception, namely the weakness or the lack of managerial lecture activities carried out in the form of practicum. This does not mean putting aside the delivery of material in a theoretical form, but it needs to be balanced between which material is practical and which is theoretical. There are five categories assessing the suitability of managerial programs, starting from very appropriate, appropriate, hesitant, inappropriate to very inappropriate. Of the five categories, 30% of informants stated that the current managerial competencies with the world of work are considered very suitable. Then 60% of the informants stated that it was appropriate and the remaining 10% stated that it was inappropriate. Doubtful and very inappropriate categories or choices of answers, each of which gets a percentage of 0%, this means that not one informant answered that. The student needs to strengthen managerial competencies Study Program of Islamic Education Management Postgraduate of IAIN Purwokerto can be grouped into three parts, namely strengthening in the process (academic), infrastructure, and cooperation (Lecturers).
