Strengthening of timber floors with concrete-type adhesives
Authors: Schober Kay-Uwe
Published: March 2019

Upgrading structures for higher working loads or restoring original design strength is an engineering task for structures of any material. This paper provides insights regarding a technique for strengthening timber floors that is low in cost and quick to implement; this technique uses epoxy-based polymer concrete to restore and upgrade the load-bearing capacity for renovation. The idea of this application focuses on combining the favourable characteristics of epoxy-based polymer concrete in compression and timber in tension into a composite structure. The bond between the components is of fundamental importance for the overall performance and has been approved by testing matured and unmatured specimens. Commercial products, modified in grain size and filling degree for this particular application, different arrangements, wood surface modification and the natural adhesion between timber and polymer concrete were tested. With this application a significant increase of the load-carrying capacity and a rigid bond between all components was achieved under short-term and long-term loading.
Bienes comunes urbanos en tensión: el caso de la ecoaldea Velatropa, en Argentina/ Urban Commons in Tension: The Case of the Velatropa Ecovillage in Argentina
Authors: Fiore Giuliana
Published: March 2019

El crecimiento de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) no escapa a la tendencia mundial de crecimiento poblacional en las zonas urbanas. En este contexto, surgen movimientos sociales que buscan construir alternativas a la forma de vida impuesta por la modernidad en las grandes urbes. Uno de esos movimientos se produce en torno a los procesos socioambientales de defensa y restauración de espacios verdes y de conformación de nuevas comunidades; movimientos que pueden pensarse en el marco de una resignificación y apropiación del territorio, para constituirlo en un bien común urbano. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar las tensiones que produce la creación de nuevos bienes comunes urbanos a partir del análisis de caso de la ecoaldea Velatropa, ubicada en la Universidad de Buenos Aires, en CABA, Argentina. Para ello, se utiliza una metodología cualitativa, basada en el método etnográfico de observación participante, complementado mediante el análisis de fuentes secundarias. Los resultados describen la tensión fundamental que surge de las racionalidades contrapuestas por sobre las que actúa cada uno de los actores involucrados en el conflicto. En este caso, se encuentran cara a cara la convivencia comunitaria y ecológica del territorio con el uso mercantil del predio.

 

Abstract

The growth of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) does not escape the worldwide trend of population growth in urban areas. In this context, social movements emerge seeking to build alternatives to the way of life imposed by modernity in large cities. One of these movements takes place around the socio-environmental processes of defense and restoration of green spaces and the conformation of new communities. The movements can be thought in the framework of a resignification and appropriation of territory to constitute it in an urban common good. The objective of this article is to analyze the tensions produced by the creation of new urban commons based on the case analysis of the Velatropa ecovillage, located in the University Campus of the University of Buenos Aires, in CABA, Argentina. For this, the research uses a qualitative methodology, based on the ethnographic method of participant observation, complemented by the analysis of secondary sources of information. The results describe the fundamental tension that arises from the conflicting rationalities over which each one of the actors involved in the conflict acts. In this case, the community and ecological coexistence of the territory with the mercantile use of the property are face to face.

Molecular testing of carrion flies for rabbit calicivirus detection v1
Authors: Hall Robyn
Published: March 2019

Carrion fies are relatively easy and inexpensive to collect, systematic sampling networks can be established, and rabbit calicivirus can be detected in flies using high-sensitivity molecular methods. However, previous studies were conducted when there was only a single pathogenic rabbit calicivirus circulating in Australia. The aim of this study was to optimise molecular testing protocols of carrion flies for rabbit calicivirus detection at the virus variant level.

Published: March 2019

Teaching English as a second language is a long and complex undertaking, particularly when it is done in multilingual rural areas where English serves a limited purpose. The purpose of this phenomenological case study was to shed light and describe the lived experiences of ten English teachers who persist in rural schools in Sabah, Malaysia. Data gleaned from in-depth interviews and observations and were thematically analyzed. The research questions captured teachers' perceptions of the existing teaching and learning environment, sources of stress and coping strategies through interviews and observations. The findings depicted that rural schools do not benefit from a conducive environment to support English teaching and learning due to the limited English environment, shortage of teaching resources and poor physical environment. The findings also revealed that dealing with low English proficiency (LEP) students was their main stressor in teaching English in rural schools, followed by students' disruptive behaviours, excessive workload and lack of support. To cope with the stress, teachers first evaluate and assess possible solutions through a stress appraisal process. The present study identified that the personal, social, professional, and institutional coping strategies were used by teachers to cope with stress faced. The findings have implications for the teaching of English in rural schools and could offer recommendations for changes in educational practices in which the authorities, school administrators and teachers could collaborate in improving English education in rural schools and thus students' learning, achievement, and school reputation.

Published: March 2019

Drawing on a multimodality theory, this study attempted to investigate the various semiotic resources utilized by a giant Indonesian cigarette company, Sampoerna, and explore how these resources communicate meanings or messages in its billboard advertisements to persuade its potential customers to buy the product. The data were analyzed using Halliday’s systemic functional grammar focusing on ideational meta-function or also known as a representational function in multimodal discourse analysis. The findings revealed that the billboard advertisements were designed to persuade the audience to buy the advertised products implicitly through representational functions attained using narrative and conceptual processes. Whereas the former was realized by employing its typical sub-processes, actional and reactional processes, the latter employed its sub-processes such as classificational, analytical, and symbolic processes. Implicationally, this study has illuminated the possible application of systemic functional grammar within multimodal discourse analysis domain to investigate implicit message(s) conveyed by an advertisement.
Metaphors in the Quran and its translation accuracy in Indonesian
Authors: Nurbayan Yayan
Published: March 2019

Metaphors (majaz in Arabic) are an important part of language style. In the Quran, they play a vital role in different interpretations of the Quran. The use of metaphors in Quranic verses may often cause semantic problems and varied interpretations for translation. The study of metaphors pertaining to the Quran aims to investigate accuracy issues in its translation. Previous studies on the translation of the Quran into Indonesian suggest that some metaphors are translated word-for-word. To some extent, the literal translation is an oxymoron leading to reduced nuances of meaning. The present study seeks to address two issues in relation to the use of metaphors: the actual translation product of Quranic metaphorical verses and translation techniques for Quranic metaphorical verses produced by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. In doing so, this study examines the metaphors of 15 verses in the Quran. Findings show that containing metaphors (13 verses containing lexical metaphors, and 2 verses containing sentential metaphors). Regarding the techniques, in the translated Quran published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, 13 verses were translated by a literal technique and 2 verses by a non-literal technique. The findings of this suggest that when translating Quran verses, metaphorical features should be taken into account. It is also imperative for future research to scrutinize the implications of different translations on the construction of meaning in the Quran.

Published: March 2019

The influence of the hot forming process of AZ31B wrought and twin roll cast (TRC) magnesium alloy sheets on the microstructure and corrosion behaviour have been evaluated. The corrosion behaviour was investigated by hydrogen evolution experiments in chloride-containing solution. Filiform-like corrosion was predominant attack to the AZ31 magnesium alloys, as observed by in-situ corrosion observation. The intermetallic particle existence and grain structure significantly influenced the corrosion rate. The dendritic structure of the as-cast TRC alloy was severely attacked, revealing that the as-cast alloy was highly susceptible to corrosion. The presence of twins in wrought alloy was found to act as a corrosion barrier, while the increase in grain size showed the high corrosion rate of the alloy.

Published: March 2019

El primer punto del Acuerdo de Paz entre el Gobierno colombiano y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) establece la necesidad de un nuevo modelo que revitalice la producción agrícola y que beneficie al pequeño campesino, comprometiendo al Gobierno en la configuración de un modelo de desarrollo rural integral que se ocupe de los problemas del campo; sin embargo, tanto el gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos como el del actual presidente, Iván Duque, le apuestan a un modelo neoliberal y extractivista que parece ir en contravía del Acuerdo de La Habana. A partir de la estrategia de investigación cualitativa documental, este artículo da cuenta de las convergencias y divergencias que se derivan del Acuerdo de Tierras y las medidas impulsadas por el Gobierno, con el fin de allanar el camino hacia la reforma rural integral. Como conclusión, se advierte que los decretos del Fast Track en materia rural van en contravía de la paz territorial, por cuanto se desconoce la autonomía de los territorios y se da prevalencia a las decisiones del Gobierno central.

Contingent Control and Wild Moments: Conducting Psychiatric Evaluations in the Home
Authors: Emerson Robert M. , Pollner Melvin
Published: March 2019

When social control and social service workers go into the field, into the “native habitat” of some problem, a variety of tacit structures and controls that mark office work with its standardized documents and formal meetings are weakened or absent entirely. As a result, compared to office settings, social control work in field settings tends to become open, contingent, unpredictable, and on occasion even wild. This article provides a strategic case study of the distinctive features of social control decision-making in the field, drawing on observations of field work by psychiatric emergency teams (PET) from the 1970s. PET typically went to the homes of psychiatrically-troubled persons in order to conduct evaluations for involuntary mental hospitalization. This article will analyze the varied, situationally-sensitive practices these workers adopted to evaluate such patients in their own homes.
A CONTROVÉRSIA NA EXPLICAÇÃO DA RELAÇÃO ENTRE OS FENÔMENOS ELÉTRICOS E MAGNÉTICOS NO EXPERIMENTO DE ORSTED E UMA POSSÍVEL ABORDAGEM EM SALA DE AULA
Authors: Oliveira Mayara Ricardo de , Neves Marcos Cesar Danhoni
Published: March 2019

Com o Ensino de Física cada vez mais conteudista e voltado para provas e vestibulares, os aspectos conceituais e epistemológicos de Ciência estão ficando esquecidos em sala de aula. Desse modo, os assuntos relacionados à História da Ciência são pouco discutidos, o que torna mais evidente a visão fechada que os alunos têm de uma ciência verdadeira, linear e absoluta. Neste sentido, ações metodológicas como a utilização da História e Filosofia da Ciência, desde que bem conduzidas e trabalhadas pelo professor, podem proporcionar uma melhor construção do conhecimento científico aos estudantes. Um dos exemplos do uso da História da Ciência que pode ser utilizado em sala de aula é a abordagem sobre a controvérsia existente por trás do experimento de Orsted, 1820, onde há uma divergência na explicação de vários cientistas sobre a relação existente entre os fenômenos elétricos e magnéticos, que começaram a ser aprofundadas a partir deste experimento. Este trabalho teve como intuito analisar essa controvérsia, destacando os estudos feitos por Ampère, Orsted e Faraday, e verificar como os livros didáticos abordam este assunto. E ainda, sugerir uma proposta de aplicação deste tema em sala de aula. Para tal compreensão foi utilizada a análise bibliográfica para embasamento teórico, que culminou na explicação sobre a controvérsia e também sobre a importância do uso da História da Ciência em sala de aula.

RESUMO O presente estudo tem o objetivo de aferir junto aos discentes selecionados pelo Programa Auxílio Estudantil (PAE), o impacto deste Programa na vida acadêmica, averiguando sua efetividade no apoio à permanência dos discentes selecionados da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), campus Toledo. Com o alargamento das contradições sociais e econômicas gestadas pela sociedade capitalista, ações são tomadas para democratizar o ensino superior e diminuir a evasão dos cursos superiores públicos. Nesta compreensão, tem-se a assistência estudantil, na perspectiva de ampliar as condições de permanência do discente no ensino superior, diante das dificuldades vivenciadas pela classe trabalhadora. Em resposta ao objetivo deste trabalho, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo com discentes selecionados pelo programa em questão. Com a análise dos dados levantados pela pesquisa, foi possível identificar que o PAE é relevante para a permanência do discente na instituição, apoiando-o para se dedicar aos estudos, tanto na parte econômica como psicológica, ainda que o Programa não suporta todas as despesas pertinentes à vida acadêmica. Apesar dos limites postos, como a seletividade e a não continuidade no recebimento, pode-se afirmar que o PAE é fundamental para a efetivação do direito à permanência dos discentes selecionados na instituição, diante das contradições geradas pela sociedade capitalista em curso.

«Don’t Fester Behind Bars, Get On with Your Life Here, in this Small Wired City…» (Everyday Life of the Interned Ukrainian Soldiers in Aleksandriv, Evidenced with the Camp Periodicals, 1921)
Authors: Sribnyak Іhor
Published: March 2019

The article analyzes the conditions of stay and the main manifestations of the cultural and educational activities of interned Ukrainian soldiers in the camp of Alexandriv (Poland) in 1921. Based on the use of a wide range of archival sources, the author concluded that the camp of everyday war has been marked by considerable difficulties, but gradually the situation of the interned has been normalized. The camp was founded by a number of educational, cultural and artistic organizations, as well as a cooperative, which positively influenced the moral spirit of war. In addition, studios in camp schools, attending various educational courses allowed everyone to refill their knowledge of knowledge, which was extremely important in terms of emigration, allowing to fill the constructive meaning of the camp of the daily routine of a large number of interned, first of all from the number of officers. The availability of the theater, the choir, the orchestra, various coteries for the sake of successfully and extremely important mission of fastening the national consciousness of the war and strengthening their moral spirit, largely allowed to prevent collapsing in the interned environment. An important component of the camp’s everyday life was the camp press, which, in spite of all the issues, i.a. the difficulties of its publication in Alexandriv, was able to quickly inform the public on the events in Europe and Ukraine, while not forgetting about the coverage of camp life. However, the interned did not have the opportunity to develop their cultural and educational achievements, for back in the autumn of 1921 the Polish authorities have resorted to the settlement of the mentioned camp and the displacement of its inhabitants to other camps.
The Munich Agreement of 1938: the Approaches of the British Politics and Diplomacy
Authors: Tkachuk Taras
Published: March 2019

The article touches upon the analysis of the main approaches to the consideration of one of the key events in international relations on the eve of the Second World War – the Munich Agreement of 1938. Particular attention is paid to the stereotypes of the British appeasement policy, which supposedly meant that Germany could not be defeated as a «scared bull», but instead, with the help of diplomacy, its aggression could be sent to another side. In this respect, during the time of N. Chamberlain’s tenure as British Prime Minister, many critics spoke against such a strategy of the British foreign policy and the above-mentioned agreement as its main showcase. Therefore, the article focuses on all the circumstances that led to the signing of the Munich Agreement, analyzes the positions of both signatory states of the treaty and those countries that had an indirect influence on the solution of the Czechoslovak problem.

It is argued that one should not blame soloely Chamberlain for mistakes made in Munich: one should also take into account the position of E. Daladier’s French government and the pacifist attitudes of most Britons who did not want to fight for solving the internal political problems of a foreign state. To this end, it is necessary to note the undeniable victory of the Nazi diplomacy, the activities of which were directed specifically at the spread of panic in Europe, while Germany itself was unprepared for the war.

Finally, the article draws parallels between the events of 1938 and the current geopolitical situation associated with the Russian Federation aggressive actions. However, it emphasizes the impossibility to comprehensively equalise the Munich Agreement of 1938 and the Minsk Agreements of 2014 – 2015, first of all, due to the distinction of the epoques and the goals of convening these two international conferences.

Os cemitérios se não planejados se constituem em um dos grandes problemas socioambientais. No Brasil, a implantação dos mesmos tem sido feita em terrenos com baixo valor imobiliário e até mesmo com condições geológicas, hidrogeológicas e geotécnicas que não estão adequadas legalmente. O objetivo da pesquisa foi realizar uma análise descritiva dos impactos ambientais do cemitério público municipal urbano localizado na cidade de Boa Vista-RR. A metodologia utilizada considerou levantamento bibliográfico, caracterização (perfil) das especificidades do cemitério através da identificação in loco do objeto de estudo, bem como as interferências antrópicas produzidas; observância dos indícios visíveis em relação aos impactos ambientais produzidos neste cemitério público urbano. Os resultados mostram que o cemitério municipal foi construído anteriormente a legislação o que torna o empreendimento um grande potencial poluidor do ambiente. Atualmente com sua capacidade excedida, situação que não minimiza os problemas detectados tais como: resíduos sólidos, contaminação do solo, exposição de ossuários em túmulos abandonados e outros. A fiscalização dos órgãos ambientais deve ser mais eficiente, em cemitérios públicos, incluindo o monitoramento do solo e subsolo, que estão no interior desses empreendimentos.

Published: March 2019

Atualmente a regularização fundiária é um tema pouco conhecido diante das comunidades, porém é de grande importância visto que parte da população desconhece seus direitos quanto à moradia. A regularização fundiária visa erradicar as irregularidades advindas de diversos setores da comunidade, com ênfase no setor de renda mais baixa, que devido à sua situação precária acaba por realizar ocupação de áreas e até mesmo pessoas idôneas que nunca tiveram a instrução correta da regularização. Esse artigo tem como objetivo caracterizar o papel da regularização fundiária de interesse social, bem como os métodos, deveres e direitos para legalização, sendo utilizado como estudo de caso o bairro Jardim Nova Esperança em Goiânia-Go. Justifica-se este estudo face a grande porcentagem de irregularidades em assentamentos, que alimentam à ineficiência do sistema habitacional e criam barreiras no que se diz respeito aos deveres e direitos da população. Conclui-se que o estudo realizado, apresentou a Regularização Fundiária do setor Jardim Nova Esperança que exigiu não apenas legalidade do poder público mas também introduziu ações de urbanizações a fim de uma melhoria habitacional. Para o poder público as ações provocaram dinamismos para que fosse reduzido as irregularidades quanto ao âmbito jurídico, social e econômico.

Após conquistar o seu espaço em meio aos empregados, Marcos estabeleceu uma relação amistosa com todos, mesmo cobrando metas e resultados, ele é visto por seus funcionários como um gestor justo e correto. Após seu primeiro ano de trabalho Marcos precisou demitir Maria, pois ela estava perdendo os movimentos da mão e para a empresa já não era mais uma funcionária produtiva. Em virtude das consequências da demissão, Maria decide processar a empresa na justiça, no entanto os três filhos de Maria ainda trabalham no frigorífico e sua atitude acaba colocando Marcos em um dilema, pois os diretores sugerem que o gestor demita os filhos de Maria, alegando que são todos “farinha do mesmo saco”. Marcos acompanha de perto o trabalho dos funcionários e sabe que os filhos de Maria são excelentes funcionários, produtivos e com boa notas nas avaliações de desempenho, porém a direção sugeriu a demissão e Marcos precisa resolver se atende a sugestão de seus superiores demitindo João, Paulo e Pedro ou não demite? Os diretores ainda nomeiam Marcos como testemunha para representar a empresa na ação trabalhista movida por Maria, mesmo sabendo que todas as práticas de gestão mencionadas no processo judicial são verdadeiras, Marcos precisará decidir se irá testemunhar a favor da empresa ou não? Este caso tem como objetivo incentivar a reflexão sobre as práticas de gestão no contexto do trabalho, podendo ser utilizado em cursos de graduação ou especialização e em disciplinas relacionadas á gestão de pessoas, teorias organizacionais e ética. Aplica-se a discussões sobre psicodinâmica do trabalho e administração científica.

Neste artigo propusemos fazer uma breve reflexão sobre as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na educação, discutindo suas possibilidades, importância e necessidade na Sociedade da Informação (SI). Por meio da análise documental buscamos investigar na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB, 1996), nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN, 2002), nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais de Química (DCNQ, 2002) e Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN, 2015), como as TIC passaram a fazer parte do currículo de formação de professores de química. Para tanto, realizamos a Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD), que se caracteriza como uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseando-se na interpretação de textos referente aos documentos oficiais analisados. Por meio da ATD identificamos como categorias de análise os Recursos; o Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; e Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS). Observamos que na primeira categoria a utilização das TIC aparece como uma metodologia diferente, uma estratégia, um recurso pedagógico de apoio didático. Na segunda categoria as TIC passam a ser citadas não apenas como um recurso didático, mas para ajudar na compreensão dos avanços científicos e tecnológicos que emana das rápidas mudanças tecnológicas e repercute no desenvolvimento da aprendizagem. Por último, utilização das TIC aproxima-se de uma proposta CTS. Consideramos que as TIC são recomendadas nos documentos oficiais para serem utilizadas na formação de professores de Química. Contudo, defendemos a ideia que elas precisam ser incorporadas na prática diária dos professores.

Published: March 2019

В статті на базі механічних, металографічних і рентгеноспектральних досліджень встановлена причина аварійних руйнувань трубопроводів ТЕЦ. Показано, що корозійні ураження метала трубопроводів супроводжуються його активним наводнюванням і окрихченням, в наслідок чого знижуються пластичні властивості і стійкість матеріалу проти корозійно-механічного руйнування трубопроводів, особливо після 3-5 років експлуатації. Металографічними дослідженнями встановлено, що поверхня трубопроводів вражена корозійними виразками, характерними для продуктів корозійного впливу хімічно-активного технологічного середовища, яке перекачується трубопроводами.

ВПЛИВ ЛЕГУВАННЯ МОЛІБДЕНОМ НА ФІЗИКО-МЕХАНІЧНІ ВЛАСТИВОСТІ ЕВТЕКТИЧНОГО СПЛАВУ СИСТЕМИ WC-W2C
Authors: Троснікова Ірина Юріївна
Published: March 2019

Досліджено вплив легування молібденом на фізико-механічні властивості евтектичного сплаву системи WC-W2C, отриманого відцентровим розпиленням електроду, що обертається. Показано, що в порівнянні з нелегованим релітом мікротвердість реліту, легованого молібденом (5 % (мас.), підвищується більш ніж на 30%, міцність в 2 рази, а зносостійкість сферичних частинок у 2-3 рази, що задовільно узгоджується зі зміною напружено-деформованого стану фазових складових композиційного матеріалу і пояснюється механізмом зернограничного та деформаційного зміцнення.

З метою підвищення ефективності роботи та розширення функціональних можливостей стрічкових конвеєрів під час транспортування як сипких так і поштучних вантажів розроблена конструкція конвеєра, що містить пристрій для швидкого регулювання форми поперечного перерізу стрічки. Проведено кінематичний синтез механізму. Для кожної структурної групи механізму проведено силовий аналіз. Щоб спроектувати механізм регулювання форми стрічки конвеєра з найменшими габаритними розмірами і найменшою рушійною силою необхідно надати куту розмаху коромисла і куту його нахилу у нижньому положенні максимально можливі значення.

Published: March 2019

Background: Peritoneal fluid (PF) from infertile women with endometriosis contains inflammatory mediators that may interfere with folliculogenesis.
Objective: The aim was to evaluate the effects of curcumin on growth factors expression by evaluating Growth Differentiation Factor-9 (GDF-9), Kit Ligand (KitL), and Tumor Necrosis Factor-9 (GDF-9), Kit Ligand (KitL), and Tumor Necrosis Factor (COC)s cultured with PF from infertile women with endometriosis.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 21 infertile women (aged between 20 and 40 years) who refered to Dr Sutomo Hospital from January to July 2015 were enrolled. COCs were aspirated from antral follicles of bovine ovaries. PF was collected from infertile women with endometriosis undergoing laparoscopy for infertility evaluation. Curcumin, a strong anti-inflammatory turmeric, was added in Tissue Culture Medium 199 (TCM199) and PF for culture medium. Bovine COCs were cultured into three groups of the medium: 1. TCM199, 2. TCM199 + PF, and 3. TCM199 + PF + curcumin. GDF9, KitL, and TNFα expressions were examined using immunohistochemistry technique.
Results: GDF-9 expression of bovine COCs cultured in PF with curcumin addition (2.67 ± 0.98) was found to increase compared to those cultured without curcumin (0.50 ± 0.67) (p ≤ 0.001). It was similar to KitL expression of bovine COCs cultured with curcumin (2.67 ± 1.23), which increased compared to those without curcumin (0.33 ± 0.49) (p ≤ 0.001). A significant difference in TNFα expression was noted between groups with or without curcumin (p ≤ 0.001).
Conclusion: In the culture of PF from infertile women with endometriosis, curcumin addition improves the growth factors expression of bovine COCs. The increase of GDF9 and KitL expressions will improve folliculogenesis.
Key words: Curcumin, Bovine, GDF9, Kit Ligand, TNF.
