Surface roughness in relation to altitude of hornbeam wood
Authors: Kiaei Majid , Mosavi Paloj Rasoul
Published: April 2018

Hornbeam wood (Carpinus betulus) is a native species from Iran and covers 33% of the commercial volume of Iranian woods. Surface quality of solid wood products is one of the most important properties influencing further manufacturing processes such as finishing or strength of adhesive joint. Wood surface roughness is affected by growth condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate effect of altitude index (400 m, 800 m and 1200 m) on the surface roughness of sanded hornbeam wood (C. Betulus). Surface characteristics of sanded specimens of hornbeam wood were made employing a stylus profilmeter. Average roughness (Ra), mean peak-to-valley height (Rz), root-mean square deviation of the profile (Rq), core roughness depth (Rk), reduced peak height (Rpk), and reduced valley depth (Rvk) roughness parameters were used to determine surface characteristics of the test pieces. Significant statistical differences were found among altitude indexes in reduced valley depth parameter and wood oven-dried density, but not for the other variables. This variable did not have significantly effect on other surface roughness parameters in hornbeam wood. The low altitude had a rougher surface than intermediate and high altitudes. There is no relationship between surface roughness parameter and wood oven-dried density.

Activating brown adipose tissue (BAT) could provide a potential approach for the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease in humans. Obesity is associated with upregulation of the endocannabinoid system, and blocking the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R) has been shown to cause weight loss and to decrease cardiometabolic risk factors. These effects may be mediated partly via increased BAT metabolism, since there is evidence that CB1R antagonism activates BAT in rodents. To investigate the significance of CB1R in BAT function, we quantified the density of CB1R in human and rodent BAT using the positron emission tomography radioligand [18F]FMPEP-d2 and measured BAT activation in parallel with the glucose analog [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose. Activation by cold exposure markedly increased CB1R density and glucose uptake in the BAT of lean men. Similarly, β3-receptor agonism increased CB1R density in the BAT of rats. In contrast, overweight men with reduced BAT activity exhibited decreased CB1R in BAT, reflecting impaired endocannabinoid regulation. Image-guided biopsies confirmed CB1R mRNA expression in human BAT. Furthermore, CB1R blockade increased glucose uptake and lipolysis of brown adipocytes. Our results highlight that CB1Rs are significant for human BAT activity, and the CB1Rs provide a novel therapeutic target for BAT activation in humans.
On the quality and the accuracy of the laser direct structuring, experimental investigation and optimization

Published: April 2018

The enormous applications of the molded interconnect devices (MID) make these face many difficult challenges, some of which are the quality and the reliability, as well as concerns on how to produce the micro-MID products. This drives to a hard competition between the different methods used in the MID technology. The laser direct structuring (LDS) has clearly been distinguished as the best method in comparison with the other MID processes. However, it also needs more development, especially in terms of the quality, accuracy, and their impact on the final MID quality of the two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) micro and normal products, especially with the decline or the limited availability of information in both of the industry and scientific research. In this work, the MID-LDS has been experimentally investigated by considering the effect of the important process parameters on the process responses and then to explore the relationship between these responses and the final MID quality and reliability. These experimental works were based on the design of the experimental tool, which employed a full factorial design for the LDS process parameters. They include the laser power, structuring speed, laser frequency, hatching percentage, the incident angle, and the focal length. The experiments have been performed on the polymer plates of Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK) materials. During the experiments, different measurements have been implemented to find out the correlation between the adopted parameters and the 3D surface roughness, structuring percentage, structuring type, and ablation type, which are regarded as the most important features of LDS quality. Further measurements focus on the LDS accuracy and the final quality and reliability of the metallization structure, which includes the metallization thickness, the surface roughness, and the adhesion strength. The analysis of these experimental results showed that the quality and reliability, especially the adhesion strength and the surface roughness, of the final MID products are deeply related to the structuring percentage, structuring type, ablation type, and finally, the surface roughness.

Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol, AMP), is a well known a biologically active phenolic compo-nent and essential oil from Eugenia caryophyllata, which widely used of Eugenol as an antiseptic and analgesic in dental care, so it is active against oral bacteria associated with dental caries and periodontal disease as well as previous studies have shown the effect of Eugenol antifungal; anti-carcinogenic; anti-allergic; anti-mutagenic activity; antioxidant and insecticidal properties, there-fore it can be used in preparation of various food as a flavouring agent and cosmetic. This study aimed to synthesize derivative new medical material 2-(4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy) acetic acid (AMPAA) from eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) (AMP) and investigate the anti-microbial activities of both AMP and derivative component (AMPAA), The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC); minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and sensitivity against six pathogenic bacterial isolates: Streptococcus. pyogens; Enterococcus. faecalis; Escherichia. coli ; Klebsiella pneumoniae; Bacillus. subtilis and Proteus. mirabilis with study compare the efficien-cy for both AMP and AMPAA on the same bacterial isolate obtained from Iraqi hospitals. In this present study synthesize new medical material (AMPAA) from AMP by reacting sodium eugenate with sodium chloroacetic acid and prepare soluble water from eugenol and its derivative AMPAAto scanning the antimicrobial efficacy against some pathogenic bacteria isolatesby two common methods; well diffusion and broth dilution methods. Results of the present study show all bacterial isolates were sensitive to both AMP and AMPAA in low concentration except K. pneumoniae, also 10.0 and 5.0 μg/mL of AMP and AMPAA as MBC for bacterial isolates except K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis that’s meaning the new deriva-tive compound AMPAA has more efficacy on six bacterial isolate than eugenol (AMP). By using Well diffusion method all bacterial isolates were sensitive to both (AMP and AMPAA) in low concentration, but K. pneumoniae was killed in same concentration, so all isolates have been killed at concentrations between (10 - 50 μg/mL) of new derivative compound (AMPAA), at the same concentration of AMP were killed for K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis) ,as well as all isolates have varying degrees of sensitivity towards both (AMP and AMPAA), whereas all iso-lates where more sensitive to AMPAA than AMP. In conclusion, all bacterial isolate were sensitive to both AMP and AMPAA in low concentration except K. pneumoniae, also 10.0 and 5.0 μg/mL of AMP and AMPAA respectively conceder as MBC for bacterial isolate except K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis, that killed in these concentra-tion,so at the same concentration of AMP and AMPAA bacterial isolates were sensitivity by well diffusion method, whilst its killed by broth method, that’s consulate broth method was best than diffusion method

Encryption of Stereo Images after Compression by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Authors: Hussien Marwah k
Published: April 2018

New partial encryption schemes are proposed, in which a secure encryption algorithm is used to encrypt only part of the compressed data. Partial encryption applied after application of image compression algorithm. Only 0.0244%-25% of the original data isencrypted for two pairs of dif-ferent grayscale imageswiththe size (256 ´ 256) pixels. As a result, we see a significant reduction of time in the stage of encryption and decryption. In the compression step, the Orthogonal Search Algorithm (OSA) for motion estimation (the dif-ferent between stereo images) is used. The resulting disparity vector and the remaining image were compressed by Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Quantization and arithmetic encoding. The image compressed was encrypted by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The images were then decoded and were compared with the original images. Experimental results showed good results in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Com-pression Ratio (CR) and processing time. The proposed partial encryption schemes are fast, se-cure and do not reduce the compression performance of the underlying selected compression methods

Published: April 2018

En la actualidad es transcendental reciclar residuos sólidos en las instituciones educativas, pues no se puede ser indiferente ante el cambio climático. En este sentido, la Unidad Profesional Interdisciplinaria de Biotecnología ha emprendido acciones importantes para clasificar residuos, como la creación de contenedores identificados con colores para su separación o garrafones de agua que son usados para rellenar botellas. Dentro de esta institución se cuenta con un comité ambiental constituido por estudiantes, los cuales han realizado jornadas informativas sobre la manera adecuada en que se pueden separare los residuos, aunque estas no han sido del todo efectivas. Por esta razón, se pretende recuperar, potencializar y articular lo trabajado en dicho comité mediante la incorporación de contenedores inteligentes que permitan motivar la separación integral y efectiva de los residuos generados en  esta casa de estudios. El objetivo principal de este contenedor-compactador de latas es aumentar el reciclado y aprovechar los residuos sólidos que se generan en la unidad académica. Según la Secretaría del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, en México se producen alrededor de 42 millones de toneladas de residuos sólidos al año, lo cual equivale a 127 veces el volumen de la pirámide del sol de Teotihuacán y a 231 veces el estadio de futbol más grande de México. Por este motivo, se debe reflexionar y crear conciencia sobre el consumismo en el que estamos inmersos.

O hino à Feira: entre a ressignificação e a identidade
Authors: Silva Aldo José Morais
Published: April 2018

Esta pesquisa investiga o processo de ressignificação do hino municipal de Feira de Santana (Bahia), como resultado do esforço desta sociedade para encontrar símbolos capazes de representa-la (nas décadas finais do século XX) quando transformações urbanas e no perfil populacional produziram uma percepção de perda de sua identidade sociocultural. Como resultado, o hino da década de 1920, cuja letra deixou de ser compreendida por décadas, por trazer imagens e alegorias que a população atual já não reconhece, foi reapresentado como um elemento de identidade possível. Uma mudança viabilizada pela perda daqueles significados, que possibilita o acolhimento do hino por uma sociedade mais diversa e disforme.

Tal interpretação, incontornável lugar de memória para a historiografia do patrimônio cultural no Brasil, se impõe como um importante problema epistemológico para os novos estudos voltados para a reflexão das práticas patrimonializadoras no país.
“Esta casa está bem feita”: o valor da arquitetura vernacular entre a festa e a poesia.
Authors: Andrade Francisco De Carvalho Dias de
Published: April 2018

O artigo visa demonstrar que os construtores e usuários da arquitetura vernacular brasileira dispunha, de meios próprios para conferir valor e significado às suas construções, que ainda não foram reconhecidos por grande parte dos pesquisadores e profissionais envolvidos com a preservação do patrimônio cultural. Por meio de uma análise dos ritos e expressões poéticas comuns às celebrações da esfera doméstica do passado brasileiro, procura-se avançar nos modos como essas arquiteturas podem ser compreendidas enquanto bem cultural, ainda pouco contemplado por ações efetivas de preservação.
Opressão da crença popular sobre possessão demoníaca e a visão médico-higienista do século XIX.
Authors: Rodrigues da Costa Otávio Barduzzi
Published: April 2018

Esse artigo pretende tecer considerações sócio -filosóficas de como a medicina do séc. XIX encarava o fenômeno antropológico da possessão demoníaca. O recorte será a possessão entre os pentecostais tradicionais e de como a medicina evoluiu e hoje já tem uma compreensão um pouco diferente do que era. Na medicina do século XIX o fenômeno da possessão era visto como uma patologia mas estava diagnosticada através de uma visão cientificista e positivista, porém ela não passa de uma manifestação cultural. Medicalizar e patologizar uma expressão cultural demonstra uma falta de empatia a cultura, ainda hoje há indícios de tal pratica.
“Deixai vir a mim as criancinhas" o papel do círculo operário católico na constituição histórica da infância em Santa Catarina
Authors: Batista Rosa , Schmidt Leonete Luzia
Published: April 2018

Neste trabalho procurou-se apresentar algumas reflexões sobre a constituição histórica da infância a partir da primeira inciativa de creche no Estado de Santa Catarina criada pelo Círculo Operário Católico de Joinville. O  período vai de 1936 a 1949, vigência da direção de Padre Alberto Kolb do Círculo Operário Católico e da Creche Conde Modesto Leal daquele município. As fontes documentais são constituídas pelas Reminiscências do Círculo Operário, livros-arquivos, atas e fotografias, Jornais do Órgão Oficial Movimento dos Círculos Operários, pertencentes ao acervo dessa instituição. Observou-se que o período foi marcado por relações entre Igreja-Estado, caridade-filantropia, em torno da conservação e higienização da infância.
Uma viagem pelos vales das sombras e da morte ou uma análise do papel do suicídio na obra de Dostoiévski
Authors: Ferreira Willian Santos
Published: April 2018

O projeto em questão procura analisar como o conceito de suicídio é um mecanismo de suma importância no projeto literário dostoiévskiano e ao buscar apreender esse mecanismo que se faz presente com especial destaque para o romance Os Demônios, onde a problemática do suicídio é explorada no mais alto grau. Desta forma, um estudo sobre o suicídio, especialmente no século XIX acaba por ter esse romance de Dostoiévski como uma de suas mais caras balizas.

Support to Enhance Level of Implementation in Physical Activity Interventions: An Observational Study
Authors: Strooband Karel FB , Stanley Rebecca M , Okely Anthony D , Jones Rachel A
Published: April 2018

THIS ARTICLE AIMS TO DESCRIBE the level of implementation (LOI) of the Jump Start study, and examine the relationship between LOI changes and the support types provided to early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres. Direct observations were conducted in 21 ECEC centres at six months and 12 months after the start of the intervention. Each centre's LOI percentage was calculated and classified into high, medium or low implementers using objective criteria. Support strategies were determined by LOI at first observation. Pearson correlations between the support types and LOI were calculated using SPSS Statistics (version 23.0). In most cases (86%), ongoing support led to an increase in LOI, 17.5% on average. Phone calls were the only type of support significantly related to the positive LOI change (r = 0.532, p = 0.013). It was difficult to detect other effective support types due to the combined and small variance in support types provided to each centre.
Operation Constraints and Methodology for Stability Preservation in Power Systems with High Penetration of Non-Synchronous Generation
Authors: I. Taczi  , I. Vokony
Published: April 2018

Nowadays, significant changes in the electricity generation mix raise questions about the secure operation of power systems. Most of the newly installed generation capacity is being connected to the grid via power electronic converters, thus can be seen as a non-synchronous generation. The theory of power system operation and control relies heavily on the characteristics of synchronous machines and conventional network structure. Therefore, the effective integration process of the new technologies must include the composition of new physical models for converter dominated large power systems as well as innovative solutions to ensure the secure operation in the future. The focus of this paper is a holistic analysis of the reducing power system inertia to frame up new constraints for system operators through simulation studies on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standard 118 bus test system. The different system states and scenarios offer a comparison opportunity between stability preservation possibilities. Minimum inertia constraint calculation methodologies and various objective functions are being discussed. The utilization and effects of synthetic inertia from non-synchronous generators and energy storage systems is also considered to quantify the exact effects.

Published: April 2018

Este texto objetiva discutir o relativismo na Educação Matemática e suas consequências para a aprendizagem, principalmente quando a objetividade da Matemática é colocada em suspeição, ao considerar que a produção do conhecimento é relativa a cada cultura, sociedade e indivíduo. Para tanto, a partir de um ensaio teórico, analisamos a relação entre relativismo, ciência e Educação Matemática. Refletindo sobre a formação de sujeitos capazes de compreender a realidade de maneira cada vez mais elaborada, apontamos a Matemática escolar como instância socializadora dos conhecimentos sistematizados. Nossa análise busca evidenciar que a objetividade sempre esteve presente na construção da ciência e, nesse sentido, destacamos a objetividade da Matemática na filosofia da linguagem, esclarecendo como está entrelaçada com a linguagem, permitindo um conhecimento objetivo do mundo, contribuindo, a nosso ver, para o debate a respeito da valorização do saber escolar, em particular o matemático, tão importante para o desenvolvimento de qualquer sociedade.Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática. Objetividade. Relativismo.Mathematical objectivity and relativism in Mathematics EducationAbstract: This paper aims to discuss relativism in Mathematics Education and its consequences for learning, especially when the objectivity of Mathematics is put in suspicion, considering the production of knowledge relative to each culture, society and individual. To do so, from a theoretical essay, we analyze the relation between relativism, science and Mathematical Education. Reflecting on the formation of subjects capable of understanding reality in an increasingly elaborate way, we point the school Mathematics as a socializing instance of systematized knowledge. Our analysis seeks to show that objectivity has always been present in the construction of science and in this sense we highlight the objectivity of mathematics in the philosophy of language, clarifying how it is intertwined with language, allowing an objective knowledge of the world, contributing, in our view, for the debate on the valorization of school knowledge, in particular the mathematical one, so important for the development of any society.Keywords: Mathematics Education. Objectivity. Relativism.

Published: April 2018

Investigamos como os algoritmos da divisão de números naturais são abordados em livros didáticos de Matemática dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental; mapeamos atividades nas quais são abordados; e analisamos o uso dos algoritmos da divisão em situações de partição e quotição. Foram analisadas 104 atividades de divisão propostas em seis coleções, escolhidas aleatoriamente, aprovadas pelo PNLD de 2016. Com uma abordagem quantitativa-qualitativa, usamos como método analítico das atividades os procedimentos da análise temática. Os dados mostram que mais de 84% das atividades exploram o processo do algoritmo convencional. Identificamos ausência de atividades que abordem os algoritmos nos 1º e 2º anos. Os algoritmos da divisão começam a ser explorados a partir do 3º ano, geralmente, por meio de divisão exata, e processos longos que envolvem a estimativa e subtração sucessiva. Algumas coleções apresentam atividades que estimulam a construção de argumentos e reflexão sobre as estratégias utilizadas com o uso de algoritmos alternativos pelos estudantes, assim como reflexão sobre o sistema de numeração decimal.Palavras-chave: Divisão. Estruturas Multiplicativas. Algoritmo Convencional.Algorithm approach of division in Mathematics didadic books for the initial yearsAbstract: We investigate how the algorithms of the division of natural numbers are approached in didactic books of Mathematics of the initial years of elementary school, we mapped activities in which they are approached; and we analyze the use of division algorithms in partition and quotation situations. Were analyzed a total of 104 proposed division activities in six collections, randomly chosen, approved by the PNLD of 2016. With a quantitative-qualitative approach, we use as the analytical method of activities the thematic analysis procedures. The data show that more than 84% of the activities explores the process of the conventional algorithm. We identify the absence of activities that address the algorithms in the 1st and 2nd years. The algorithms of the division begin to be explored from the 3rd, usually by means of exact division, and long processes involving successive estimation and subtraction. Some collections present activities that stimulate the construction of arguments and reflection on the strategies used with the use of alternative algorithms by the students, as well as reflection on the decimal numbering system.Keywords: Division.
