Published: June 2020

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a single application of a new calcium mesoporous silica nanoparticle (Ca2+-MSN) versus other calcium and/or fluoride products against dental erosion. Enamel blocks were half-covered and assigned to six groups (n = 10): Ca2+-MSNs; casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate mousse (CPP-ACP); CPP-ACP/F− (900 ppm F−); titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4 1%); sodium fluoride (NaF 1.36%); and Milli-Q® water (negative control). A single application for each product was completed on the exposed areas of the blocks and were submitted to an erosive challenge. Differences in volumetric roughness (Sa), and tooth structure loss (TSL) by use of three-dimensional noncontact optical profilometry were evaluate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed. Analysis of variance and Tukey’s test for Sa and the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests (p< 0.05) for TSL, respectively. Results: When evaluating Sa, all products presented differences in roughness when compared with the control group (p< 0.05) but not with each other (p > 0.05). However, when analyzing the TSL, it was observed that Ca2+-MSNs, TiF4, and NaF were more effective in preventing dental erosion versus CPP-ACP, CPP-ACP/F−, and Milli-Q® water (p< 0.05). In the SEM images, the negative control presented the worst loss of dental structure, with more porous enamel. Ca2+-MSNs were as effective as TiF4 and NaF to reduce the tooth structure loss.

Published: June 2020

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), limewater (LW), and Polymyxin B (PMB) as irrigants over MMP-3, MMP-8 and MMP-9. Thirty-three patients with apical periodontitis of single-rooted teeth were treated according to three-experimental groups (n=11): group-1: 2.5% NaOCl was used as irrigant; group-2: 2.5% NaOCl for the first two files and LW: [0.14% Ca(OH)2] for the last two files; group-3: 2.5% NaOCl for the first two files and PMB for the last two files. The association of Ca(OH)2 and CHX was used as an intracanal medication in all groups. Four root canal samplings (S) were collected: S1) immediately after access cavity; S2) after biomechanical preparation; S3) after EDTA application; and S4) after removal of the intracanal medication. After quantification of MMP-3, MMP-8, and MMP-9, the data were analyzed by Friedman and Kruskal-Wallis tests and completed by Dunn test (5%). Regardless the used irrigant, there was no difference in reducing MMP-3 or MMP-8 (P=0,5273, P=0,7048 respectively). However, in reducing MMP-9 (P=0,0246) the NaOCl group was the most effective followed by NaOCl+LW group and NaOCl+PMB group respectively. The intracanal medication [Ca(OH)2 + CHX] with the NaOCl and NaOCl+LW was effective in reducing MMP-8 (P<0,0001, P=0,0025) and MMP-9 (P=0,0007, P=0,0047) respectively, but not for the group of NaOCl+PMB which was not effective in reducing MMP-8 or MMP-9 (P=0,1718, P=0,1953) respectively. NaOCl and NaOCl+LW were effective in reducing MMP-9 levels, and this effectivity could be improved by the use of the intracanal medication [Ca(OH)2 + CHX] in reducing MMP-8 and MMP-9 levels.

Published: June 2020

Abstract This study assessed the effectiveness of models for developing subsurface caries lesions in vitro and verified mineral changes by transverse microradiography (TMR). Enamel blocks from permanent (n=5) and deciduous teeth (n=5) were submitted to lesion induction by immersion in demineralizing solutions during 96 h, followed by pH cycles of demineralization (de) and remineralization (re) for 10 days. Two de-/re solutions were tested. Demineralizing solution “A” was composed by 2.2 mM CaCl2, 2.2 mM KH2PO4, 0.05 M acetic acid, with pH 4.4 adjusted by 1 M KOH. Demineralizing solution “B” was composed by 2.2 mM CaCl2, 2.2 mM NaH2PO4, 0.05 M acetic acid and 0.25 ppmF, with pH 4.5 adjusted by 1M KOH. Solution “A” produced cavitated lesions in permanent teeth, whereas solution “B” led to subsurface lesions in deciduous teeth. Solution “B” was then tested in enamel blocks from permanent teeth (n=5) and subsurface lesions were obtained, so that solution “B” was employed for both substrates, and the blocks were treated with slurries of a fluoride dentifrice (1450 ppm F, as NaF, n=5) or a fluoride-free dentifrice (n=5). Solution “B” produced subsurface lesions in permanent and primary teeth of an average (±SD) depth of 88.4µm (±14.3) and 89.3µm (±15.8), respectively. TMR analysis demonstrated that lesions treated with fluoride-free dentifrice had significantly greater mineral loss. This study concluded that solution “B” developed subsurface lesions after pH cycling, and that mineral changes were successfully assessed by TMR.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the structure and content of social representations about violence by primary health care users. Method: Qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations, carried out in Rio Grande health units with 150 people between January and April 2019 by applying free evocations and interviews, which were treated by using software and contextual analysis, respectively. Results: Violence against people, violence, physical violence, substance dependence, and robbery made up the representation in the central core. People represented violence as interpersonal, including intrafamily and urban. Women were related to domestic violence and the exercise of verbal violence, while men were more closely related to urban violence and the use of physical violence. Final considerations: Obtaining the social representation of violence makes it possible to reflect on the subject in the primary health care scenario, contributing to the development of strategies and targeted actions.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association of nutritional status, biological maturation, social support and self-efficacy with the physical activity level of 2,347 students of both sexes, aged between 11 and 15 years old, enrolled in state schools in the city of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Methods: Anthropometric measurements of body mass, height and sitting height were collected. The assessment of biological maturation was based on the analysis of the age at peak height and sexual maturity. The physical activity level, social support from parents and friends and self-efficacy were evaluated by self-reported questionnaires. Sex/age-specific body mass index (BMI) cutoff points identified the nutritional status. Gross and adjusted binary logistic regression were used to obtain odds (OR) ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), adopting p≤0.05 as significant. Results: More than half (52.3%; n=1,227) of students were active, with boys in a higher proportion (64.1%; p≤0.01). The correlates of physical activity were: nutritional status (OR 1.25; 95%CI 1.01-1.56), early somatic maturation (OR 0.71; 95%CI 0.54-0.93), moderate (OR 1.85; 95%CI 1.50-2.30) and high social support from parents (OR 2.70; 95%CI 2.11-3.42) and high social support from friends (OR 1.78; 95%CI 1.42-2.24). Conclusions: Nutritional status, early somatic maturation, social support of parents and friends were correlates of physical activity. Overweight girls with moderate and high parental support and boys with greater social support from parents and friends were more active. Girls with early somatic maturation were less active.

Progressive-collapse test of slab effects on reinforced concrete spatial frame substructures
Authors: Du Ke , Bai Jiulin , Teng Nan , Yan Deng , Chen Huiming , Sun Jingjiang
Published: June 2020

Floor systems constructed from slabs and beams are critical structural elements of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, allowing them to resist progressive collapse. To elucidate the complex effects of the slab and its thickness on the progressive-collapse resistance of RC spatial frame structures, three 1/3-scale 2 × 2 span substructure specimens, including one three-dimensional (3D) skeletal frame substructure and two 3D frame–slab substructures with different slab thicknesses, were tested in a middle-column-removal scenario. The test results indicated that the frame–slab substructure exhibited two resisting progressive-collapse stages: a primary mechanism stage, with small deformations, and a secondary mechanism stage, with large deformations. The slab contributions were separated from the floor system and quantified by comparing the results for the skeletal frame substructure and frame–slab substructure. Although there were no in-plane confinements, the slab also significantly improved the resistance against progressive collapse, owing to the compressive and tensile membrane action in the primary and secondary mechanism stages, respectively. Increasing the slab thickness increased the compressive membrane action of the slab, which significantly enhanced the progressive-collapse resistance under small deformations. However, under large deformations, the beam and slab did not work synergistically, which limited the development of secondary mechanisms against progressive collapse.

Authors: Cai Long , Eng Linus , Pierson Nico , Cronin Chris
Published: June 2020

The seqFISH Hyb Station is a custom built platform consists ofa liquid handling pump , a fluidic switcher , and a 96-well plate auto-sampler which aids seqFISH experiments by flowing hybridization reagents and washes in and out of a flow cell containing the biological sample. Researchers set up multi-day experiments to perform chemistries such as hybridizations, washes, and stripping. In each round of hybridization, the auto sampler handle will move to the designated well and approximately 100uL of readouts reagents are flowed into the custom made flow cell to allow hybridization. Following by imaging with a fluorescent microscope, the signals are extinguished by flowing in excess high formamide solution to melt away the readout probes. These steps are repeated until all hybridization rounds are completed. The controls of seqFISH Hyb Station and imaging are controlled and integrated using the open source software Micro-Manager.

Similarity-based failure threshold determination for system residual life prediction
Authors: Ma Biao , Yan Shufa , Wang Xu , Chen Jianhua , Zheng Changsong
Published: June 2020

An accurate determination of the system failure threshold is an essential requirement in achieving an appropriate system residual
life prediction and a reasonable planned maintenance strategy optimization afterward for degradation systems. This paper proposes a failure threshold determination method based on quantitative measurement of the similarity between the operating system
and the historical systems. The similarity is formulated by a weighted average function and then calculated by a convex quadratic
formulation to minimizing the variance between the operating system and the historical systems. With an accurate determination
of the system failure threshold in real-time, a better prediction of the residual life for the operating system is achieved. Finally, a
real case study for several power-shift steering transmission systems monitored using oil spectral analysis is adopted to illustrate
and numerically compare the improved performance of the proposed method.

The short story “The proud pair” by P. Kulishtraditionally regarded in the romantic traditions context. But the plot, the main motives, the characters in thestory, the speech organization of the text are convinced that the elements of romanticism and sentimentalism are intertwined in poetry.

At the center of the plot is a tragic love story of Marusya Kovbanivna and Prochor Osaulenko. They were parted due to misunderstanding, then married with others husband and wife, but could not live without each other. The story ends with a tragic interlude.

In the short story traits of sentimentalism are presents, such as depicts exaggerated feelings, events that can move the reader, expresses democracy in the image of heroes, emphasizes nobility in their characters, there is a tragic ending.In the image of Marusya pride is hyperbolized as a leading character trait, and it is presented in the title of the story.

The genre definition of the work is a story ballad. However, the poetics combines the stylefeatures of romanticism and sentimentalism (portraiture of the heroine, description of the wedding).
PANTELEIMON KULISH AS A RESEARCHER OF WORKS BY KLYMENTIY ZINOVIIV
Authors: Merkulov M. R.
Published: June 2020

This paper is a review of the article by Panteleimon Kulish which is dealing to poetical inheritance of Klymentiy Zinoviiv. The latter was a Ukranian Baroque wtriter of XVII–XVIII centuries. Kulish published his review for the first time in 1859 in the magazine called “The Russian colloquy”, later – in the magazine “Osnova” (“Basis”) in 1861. These scholar shows us good skills in the field of historical and culture research, but at the same time he underestimates scholastic education and literature, he considers they were cut off from the real Ukrainian culture and Ukrainian folk. Kulish says Klymentii was a typical snob, whose writings was full of praise to rich and powerful persons and hatred against simple and poor people. The reasons of this position were Klymentii’s studying in scholastic school and his desire to belong to the highest level of society. Despite these negative features Klymentii Zinoviiv’s poems contain a lot of useful information about Ukrainian life of XVII–XVIII centuries. The article by Panteleimon Kulish contains some original thoughts and conclusions, but anyway his opinion is not objective. At the same time this review is a very important document helping to research the texts and biography of Klymentii Zinoviiv.

Authors: Pilipey O. V.
Published: June 2020

In the literary and artistic discourse of the 20–30’s of the XX century. Interest in P. Kulish is growing among literary scholars. It was in the 1920s that the archive of P. Kulish was transferred to the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, which became a serious documentary, source base for the study of works, literary-critical views, and outlook of this writer. P. Kulish is considered to be one of the first Europeanists of Ukrainian culture to lay the foundation for the modern modern culture of the 1920s. For example, G. Grabovych called P. Kulish a driving force and the founder of the newest Ukrainian intellectual, critical thought and those dimensions of national consciousness that underlie it, and a key figure in the formation of modern Ukrainian culture. He quite rightly noted about P. Kulish M. Dragomanov: “… one of the Ukrainophiles hits the point of world, human culture, which will lift our people”.
GENERAL CONTENTS AND PROBLEMS OF THE DIARY OF THE XIX CENTURY LITERATORS
Authors: Lebid-Hrebenyuk Ye. M.
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to research of specific genre of diary in creative heritage of P. Kulish, O. Nikitenko and T. Shevchenko. Intraliterary comparative analysis allowed to comprehend nature of genre and to define his basic characteristics. The special attention is spared to the general moments in diaries language, orientation on a future reader, atmosphere of “expectation”. In the diaries the author acts as a part of the action, moreover, he is the hero of the story, it is therefore obvious that description of all adventures are typically narrated from the author’s perspective so the author and the narrator merge – and the narrative adopts a first person narrative. The communicative techniques in the structure of the text are described briefly – implicit comparative studies, evaluative judgments, creation of the image of a stranger, “other”, address to the reader, etc. Also are comprehended separate theses about correlation of looks of writers on religion, friendship, the phenomenon of silence in the text. The multidimensional character of silence opens up, the specific of silence (silence’s philosophical potential) in text: variants of literary pausing/silence can be found throughout diary, they are expressed by several types of figures of silence. The meaning of silence shifts according to its context in diary. The especially interesting discoveries are based on general moments in both diaries – critical thinking, engaging the reader in the text, deep existential thoughts, digression (partial retreat from a main theme in text). Comparison of texts of diaries gives an opportunity to trace an origin, forming, statement in Ukrainian literature of such variety of diary as a writer.
Síndrome de Burnout, de un fenómeno laboral a un diagnóstico médico
Authors: Vivas-Manrique Samuel David , Fonseca Muñoz Mauricio
Published: June 2020

Objetivo: Reflexionar sobre la importancia de integrar los avances de la legislación colombiana frente al riesgo psicosocial con relación a la inclusión del Síndrome de Burnout como enfermedad laboral en el nuevo CIE-11.Reflexión: El síndrome de Burnout está definido en la legislación colombiana como una enfermedad laboral derivada del estrés. Sin embargo, en la actual clasificación internacional de enfermedades (CIE-10) este síndrome no existe como diagnóstico médico, lo que dificulta su identificación y tratamiento, afectando la atención oportuna hacia los trabajadores, la implementación de acciones de prevención e intervención en las empresas. Esta situación se superará con la entrada en vigencia del CIE-11 en el año 2021, donde fue incluida como diagnóstico médico claramente definido. Las leyes colombianas consideran el Síndrome de Burnout como un riesgo derivado de la exposición a los peligros psicosociales que tienen una significativa normatividad en el país.Resultados: Se realizó un recorrido a la legislación, normatividad y lineamientos técnicos frente a los peligros psicosociales y su relación con el síndrome de burnout. Se analizaron las tablas de enfermedades laborales, los criterios diagnósticos actuales, las leyes sobre riesgo psicosocial y los protocolos de determinación de origen de enfermedades derivadas del estrés y el protocolo de intervención para el síndrome de burnout que propone el Ministerio de Trabajo de Colombia.Conclusiones: la entrada en vigencia del CIE-11 es una oportunidad para visualizar la patología, que existe en la realidad laboral. Con los criterios actuales no ocupa un lugar en la realidad médica laboral. La normatividad y lineamientos técnicos frente a los procesos de determinación de origen y de intervención del síndrome emitidos por el Ministerio de Trabajo son instrumentos orientadores para su identificación, prevención e intervención tanto en la consulta clínica como en los contextos laborales. Estos instrumentos en coordinación con el CIE-11 serán herramientas fundamentales en la promoción de la salud de los trabajadores colombianos.
Quantifying and Classifying Volcano Video and Infrasound Datasets via Computer
Vision and Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Witsil Alex J. C.
Published: June 2020

Volcanoes are dangerous and complex with processes coupled to both the subsurface
and atmosphere. Effective monitoring of volcanic behavior during and in between periods
of crisis requires a diverse suite of instruments and processing routines. Acoustic
microphones and video cameras are typical in long-term deployments and provide important
constraints on surficial and observational activity yet are underutilized relative to
their seismic counterpart. This dissertation increases the utility of infrasound and video
datasets through novel applications of computer vision and machine learning algorithms,
which help constrain source dynamics and track shifts in activity. Data analyzed come from
infrasound and camera installations at Stromboli Volcano, Italy and Villarrica Volcano, Chile
and are diverse in terms of the recorded activity. At Villarrica, a computer vision algorithm
quantifies video data into a set of characteristic features that are used in a multiparametric
analysis with seismic and infrasound data to constrain activity during a period of crisis in
2015. Video features are also input into a machine learning algorithm that classifies data into
five modes of activity, which helps track behavior over weekly and monthly time scales. At
Stromboli, infrasound signals radiating from the multiple active vents are synthesized into
characteristic features and then clustered via an unsupervised learning algorithm. Time histories
of cluster activity at each vent reveal concurrent shifts in behavior that suggest a linked plumbing
system between the vents. The algorithms presented are general and modular and can be implemented
at monitoring agencies that already collect acoustic and video data.
Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) for Brand Logos
Authors: Parajuli Enjal
Published: June 2020

This thesis explores the problem of automatically detecting the presence of logos
in general images. Brand logos carry the goodwill of a company and are considered to
be of high value in the corporate world, and thus automatically determining whether or
not a logo is present in an image can be of interest for companies that wish to protect
their brand. The problem of automated logo detection is inherently complex, but is
further complicated through intentional obfuscation of logo images, for example by color
shifting or other slight image modifications that leave the logo intact and easily
recognizable by a human, but difficult to determine through automated techniques.

For our use case, we are interested in leveraging the basic Content-based image retrieval
(CBIR) approach to determine whether or not a brand logo is present within a larger image. CBIR
systems retrieve images based on their similarity to a given query image/images. For example,
this enables a user to retrieve images that contain dogs by entering an image with a dog in it.

Of the multitude works done in this field, most use supervised and only a few use self-supervised
machine learning techniques. For our approach presented in this thesis, we utilize an Autoencoder,
which is one of the self-supervised techniques. It is able to generate compressed representations
of the original image and its variant exposed to simple transformations such as Gaussian noise and
near to zero degree rotations. It, however, is not able to do so for complex transformations/noises.
This thesis addresses this problem by introducing a novel autoencoder based architecture that takes
the encoding technique of an autoencoder one step further and produces a semantic rich compressed
latent representation for the transformed logo that is similar to its original logo. This research
work has achieved significant improvement over the general autoencoder architecture, and over current
CBIR-based approaches for logo recognition.

Authors: Koniuszewska Ewa
Published: June 2020

Nowelizacja samorządowych ustaw ustrojowych datowana na styczeń 2018 r. stanowiła wyraz dążeń ustawodawcy do zapewnienia członkom wspólnot samorządowych skutecznego wpływu na działalność organów tych wspólnot. Realizacji tego zamierzenia służyć miało ukształtowanie nowych instytucji, do których zakwalifikować należy komisję skarg, wniosków i petycji. Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego wszystkich stopni zobligowane bowiem zostały do utworzenia komisji stałej, przy pomocy której organ stanowiący i kontrolny rozpatrywałby skargi na działania organu wykonawczego i samorządowych jednostek organizacyjnych, a także wnioski oraz petycje składane przez obywateli. W niniejszym opracowaniu dokonano analizy materiału normatywnego, która umożliwiła przedstawienie pozycji ustrojowej komisji oraz jej zadań. Pozwoliła ona również na ocenę przejętych rozwiązań prawnych wyznaczających status tego organu oraz sformułowanie wniosków de lege lata.

The Values and the Rules of Law
Authors: Kasprzak Sylwester
Published: June 2020

Wartości i zasady prawa

Artykuł poświęcony jest zagadnieniu połączenia dwóch kwestii, tj. wartości i regulacji prawnych. Stawiamy problem, że przepis prawny niesie wartości, powinien z nich wyrastać, a przede wszystkim powinien je chronić. Regulacje prawne zabezpieczają wartości. Jeśli chodzi o system prawa kanonicznego, prawnik kanonista powinien wyinterpretować normę moralną z normy kanonicznej, która jest zawarta w przepisie Kodeksu Prawa Kanonicznego. Wartość odnosić się do rozumienia pewnego dobra dla jednostki lub społeczności, które są traktowane jako warte realizacji, zwłaszcza w życiu jednostek. Z drugiej strony „norma” odnosi się do sposobu i granic, w których uniwersalne wartości mogą być konkretnie realizowane. Wartości człowieka mają bezpośredni wpływ na jego życie i zachowanie w społeczeństwie. Artykuł skupia się na funkcji sumienia ze względu na fakt, że odnosi się do najwyższych wartości ukrytych w Absolucie. Sumienie jest głosem wewnętrznym, który krytykuje podejmowane działania i ocenia je jako dobre lub złe. Norma jest ważna, jeśli realizuje dobro jako wartość. Podstawową wartością jest wartość prawdy. Jeśli chcemy uświadomić sobie jakąkolwiek wartość, musimy najpierw zdać sobie sprawę, że jest ona rzeczywiście wartością. Być wartością oznacza być prawdziwą wartością. Postulatami realizacji wartości są: rozum ludzki – ukazywanie prawdy, dobra, piękna. Za wszystko odpowiada człowiek, strażnik i współtwórca realnego świata. Norma wymaga pola jej spełnienia: może je zapewnić tylko rzeczywistość, będąc przygotowana na przyjęcie wartości.
Cywilnoprawny model ochrony tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa przewozowego
Authors: Wojdała Michał
Published: June 2020

W ostatnim czasie dla przedsiębiorców atrakcyjne stało się zakładanie i prowadzenie działalności w zakresie przewozu drogowego i spedycji. Jak w wielu branżach, tak i w tej kluczowe znaczenie z punktu widzenia długofalowej rentowności przedsięwzięcia ma informacja. W tym zakresie można przykładowo wymienić tzw. bazę klientów, informacje o przewoźnikach, trasach czy stawkach wynagrodzenia. Z uwagi na gospodarczą przydatność tych informacji, ich poufny charakter, a także fakt, że przedsiębiorcy podejmują środki służące zapobieganiu ich upublicznienia, nie powinno ulegać wątpliwości, że noszą one cechy tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest omówienie najpowszechniejszych metod ochrony informacji stanowiących tajemnicę przedsiębiorstwa. Dotyczy to zarówno metod znajdujących szerokie zastosowanie w działalności gospodarczej (np. kary umowne), jak i tych szczególnych, uwzględniających specyfikę branży przewozowej (tzw. neutralizacja dokumentów). Jak się bowiem okazuje, w praktyce nie wszystkie metody tej ochrony są zgodne z przepisami, wobec czego nie wszystkie roszczenia przedsiębiorcy będą zasługiwać na ochronę prawną.

Este estudo objetiva verificar a influência da folga orçamentária e da qualidade da informação na performance da inovação de produtos e processos em empresas da indústria de medicamentos e produtos farmacêuticos. Pesquisa de levantamento foi realizada com aplicação de um questionário pautado na pesquisa de Yang, Wang e Cheng (2009). A população da pesquisa compreendeu as 175 empresas da indústria de medicamentos e produtos farmacêuticos listadas no Portal Guia Pharma, e a amostra as 56 respondentes do questionário. Nos dados coletados foi aplicada a técnica de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. Os resultados apontam que, das hipóteses testadas, somente a qualidade da informação do Sistema de Informações influencia na performance do processo de inovação. Já a variável latente folga orçamentária não apresentou influência estatisticamente significativa. Conclui-se que os resultados assemelham-se com os de Yang, Wang e Cheng (2009), mas a folga orçamentária não se revelou influenciadora do processo de inovação.
Forest deforestation in the Brazilian amazon states and its impacts on natural resources: construction of statistical-econometric panel model for 2000-2018

Published: June 2020

Economic growth and improving income distribution contribute to an increased demand for land and to expansion of livestock production. Thus, in order to analyze effects of economic growth and income distribution on natural resources, first it is necessary to distinguish dynamics of  economic growth; and second, it is essential to know the form in which economic growth is taking place: whether through the extensive absorption of using factors of production; or whether through intense absorption with an increase in productivity of the factors of production due to technical innovations; and third, the fact that the economy grows in a finite ecosystem implies an increase in opportunity costs. The effect of deforestation ultimately affects economic productivity and also provokes other ecological and socioeconomic disruptions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of deforestation on natural resources of the area known as Legal Amazon, during the period 2000-2018. For this, statistical-econometric instruments from panel modeling have been used. The central conclusion is that the main regressors associated with the rate of deforestation in the surveyed states continue to be the significant causes of this problem throughout the region. Thus, it is assumed that deforestation in the Amazon is, in fact, the main factor responsible for destruction of natural resources. However, it cannot be denied that extensive livestock production continues to be the main activity responsible for the significant increase in deforestation in the region.

Evaluación de la actitud interactiva y el nivel de diálogo de las empresas de Colombia en Facebook
Authors: Zeler Ileana
Published: June 2020

Este artículo tiene como objetivo determinar si las treinta empresas de mejor reputación de Colombia, de acuerdo el estudio anual de reputación corporativa mercoEmpresas elaborado por el Monitor Empresarial de Reputación Corporativa (MERCO), utilizan Facebook como herramienta de comunicación dialógica con sus públicos. La primera pregunta fue responder si las empresas de Colombia tienen presencia activa en Facebook, y, de ser así, analizar la actitud interactiva y el nivel de diálogo con los públicos en la red social. Para llevar adelante la investigación se realizó un análisis de contenido –en parte cuantitativo– de las 1.629 publicaciones realizadas por las empresas seleccionadas en sus fanpages corporativas durante un año. Los hallazgos mostraron que las empresas tienen una presencia activa en Facebook, pero el uso que están haciendo de la red social es principalmente unidireccional y monológico. Sobre las bases de dichos resultados obtenidos, se espera realizar futuras investigaciones que aplicando la misma metodología a otras redes sociales y organizaciones permitan determinar hasta qué punto replican la tendencia actual.
Western Faculty Members' Cross-Border Lived Experiences
Authors: Bu Xin , McCaw Bill , Kero Patty
Published: June 2020

Universities in China and the United States have been engaged in cross-border education through partnerships establishing international branch campuses (IBCs). This qualitative study used Moustakas’s (1994) strategy of inquiry as a framework and explored Western faculty members’ cross-border lived experiences at IBCs in China. IBCs in this study were coestablished by American universities and their Chinese partners. The central research question that guided this study asked about the lived experiences of Western faculty members at IBCs in China. This study purposefully selected 14 participants and data were collected through semistructured, one-on-one, face-to-face interviews. Moustakas’s (1994) seven-level method of analysis involving a process of meaning reduction was followed. The essence of the participants’ lived experiences described two components: value and adjustment. Findings from this study are valuable for leaders to rethink how to better support Western faculty in this joint higher education venture

Authors: Vlachopoulos Dimitrios
Published: June 2020

The outbreak of the COVID-19 began in the Wuhan region of China in December 2019. By February 2020, cases of COVID-19 had been detected on every continent. Governments are advising citizens to be prepared for an outbreak in their community. Today, we are globally experiencing closures in schools and universities, postponements or even cancellations of conferences and other organised events, and social distancing. In addition, we have also seen the promotion of flexible ways of studying and working to hinder the rapid spread of the virus. This position paper aims to reflect on where exactly does online education figure into this crisis situation by focusing on 4 important pillars: a) policy-making, b) access to resources, c) training opportunities and d) ongoing evaluation and monitoring.
ASEAN, INDONESIA DAN RUSIA TIMUR JAUH: PELUANG DAN DIVERSIFIKASI [ASEAN, INDONESIA AND RUSSIA FAR EAST: OPPORTUNITIES AND DIVERSIFICATION]
Authors: Arlan Adri
Published: June 2020

Indonesia-Russia relations started at the end of World War II. Early relations were poor but became close during the Sukarno period. The post-Soviet era ushered a new height of Russia’s political, diplomatic, and economic presence in Southeast Asia. After the dissolution of the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR), Russia has focused on a grand re-engineering project, an important component of institutional stability. Part of the re-structuring included ambitious actions to re-brand a powerful image of her position in Southeast Asia, and in Asia and the Pacific, in general. Scholars have argued that there is a lack of knowledge in terms of Russia’s relations with countries of Southeast Asia (ASEAN). This can be explained by Russia’s unfamiliarity over the region’s diversity and by her insecurity with the dominance of the United States and China, among others. Nevertheless, the Putin Government has shifted its lens towards the Southeast Asian region by establishing stronger ties in areas of security and defense, energy development, and trade and people-to-people exchanges. This paper employs an ‘ethic’ perspective analysis of the actions taken by Russia in these areas and suggests possible future actions to enhance collaboration and cooperation with Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia.

BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: Hubungan Indonesia-Rusia telah dimulai sejak berakhirnya Perang Dunia ke II. Kerja sama yang terjadi antara kedua negara terjalin cukup erat di era Presiden Sukarno. Pasca runtuhnya Uni Soviet terjadi perubahan dinamika dalam hubungan politik, diplomatik dan ekonomi  Rusia di Asia Tenggara. Saat ini Rusia fokus dalam menata ulang grand strategy penguatan kestabilan institusi baik dalam maupun luar negeri. Dalam hal penataan ulang kebijakan strategi luar negeri, Rusia berupaya untuk menciptakan image baru di Asia Tenggara dan Pasifik. Secara umum, para ahli berargumen bahwa masih minimnya wawasan dalam konteks hubungan Rusia dan Asosiasi Negara di Asia Tenggara (ASEAN). Hal ini dijelaskan dengan minimnya peran Rusia dalam hal kerja sama dan insekuritas akibat dominasi Amerika Serikat dan Republik Rakyat Tiongkok yang sudah mengakar kuat di kawasan. Namun demikian, administrasi Putin mencoba meningkatkan perhatiannya ke ASEAN dengan meningkatkan ikatan kerja sama dalam sektor pertahanan dan keamanan, energi, perdagangan dan people to people contact. Tulisan ini mengulas pendekatan ‘etis[’ berupa pola kebijakan kerja sama yang diimplementasikan oleh Moskow serta rekomendasi diversifikasi kerja sama Rusia dengan negara di Asia Tenggara seperti Indonesia.
