O Tópico-sujeito existencial: sobre as consequências da mudança da ordem do sujeito no Português Brasileiro
Authors: Melo Elaine Alves Santos , Abranches Giovana Pereira
Published: August 2021

Neste trabalho, apresentamos uma análise das construções de tópico sujeito existencial, ou seja, aquelas que envolvem o alçamento de um DP [+locativo] para a posição de sujeito, [SPEC-TP], do verbo ter que expressa existência. Essas construções, prototípicas da gramática do Português Brasileiro, têm sido descritas como mais uma evidência para a mudança no Parâmetro do Sujeito Nulo pela qual passa o PB: tendência ao preenchimento de [Spec-TP]. Os resultados deste trabalho evidenciam que a implementação do tópico sujeito existencial é paulatina ao aumento da frequência de uso do ter existencial e que sua emergência é atrelada a uma leitura ambígua entre posse e existência. (ROBERTS; ROSSOU, 2003). A fim de desenvolver esta pesquisa, foram levantados dados de anúncios, cartas de leitores e cartas de redatores, publicados em jornais cariocas e baianos, nos séculos XIX e XX. Toda a amostra compõem os corpora do PHPB, que está disponível online. Para a análise diacrônica quantitativa utilizamos o Programa Goldvarb-X (SANKOFF; TAGLIAMONTE; SMITH, 2001) e os pressupostos da Teoria de Competição de Gramática (KROCH, 1989, 2001) e da Teoria Gerativa (CHOMSKY, 2000, 2001).

Authors:   , Arroyo Barranco César Alfonso
Published: August 2021

This research work responds to the need to find a new way to evaluate the design alternatives generated in the concept development phase under the focus of the emotions that the future product may arouse in the users. In order to achieve the proposed objectives and to give an answer to the problems found in the field of methods for the evaluation and selection of alternatives, the corresponding methodological approach was carried out, describing a methodology of intervention research where the stages of analysis, synthesis, praxis, and conclusions must be considered. In the analysis stage, the theoretical framework was built, describing the issues that underlie the research concerning the process of design and product development, the theoretical foundations of emotional design, and the state of the question, describing the methods of evaluation and selection of existing alternatives most used in the design and development of products. Once the analysis was concluded in the synthesis stage the proposal of a solution to the problem was raised through the design of a new method taking, as a model of the process of design and development of products the one proposed by Ulrich and Eppinger and the taxonomies of the emotions of Desmet and Fokkinga as a base for the emotional evaluation. For the practical stage, a case study was designed with the collaboration of the company "Química Son's S.A de C.V." where the method was applied using the application software ValorEmon for the evaluation of design alternatives and subsequent decision-making. Finally, the conclusions of the research were made in response to the objectives and hypothetical approach of the same.

Optimizing glycerosome formulations via an orthogonal experimental design to enhance transdermal triptolide delivery
Authors: Zhu Chunyun , Zhang Yongtai , Wu Tong , He Zehui , Guo Teng , Feng Nianping
Published: August 2021

Triptolide exerts strong anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects; however, its oral administration might be associated with side effects. Transdermal administration can improve the safety of triptolide. In this study, glycerosomes were prepared as the transdermal vehicle to enhance the transdermal delivery of triptolide. With entrapment efficiency and drug loading as dependent variables, the glycerosome formulation was optimized using an orthogonal experimental design. Phospholipid-to-cholesterol and phospholipid-to-triptolide mass ratios of 30:1 and 5:1, respectively and a glycerol concentration of 20 % (V/V) were used in the optimization. The glycerosomes prepared with the optimized formulation showed good stability, with an average particle size of 153.10 ± 2.69 nm, a zeta potential of –45.73 ± 0.60 mV and an entrapment greater than 75 %. Glycerosomes significantly increased the transdermal delivery of triptolide compared to conventional liposomes. As efficient carriers for the transdermal delivery of drugs, glycerosomes can potentially be used as an alternative to oral triptolide administration.

Creativity and Remote Teaching in Pandemic Times: From the Unpredictable to the Possible
Authors: Neves-Pereira Mônica Souza
Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed a new agenda for humanity. In a very rapid and improvised way, we were invited to give new answers to everyday practices and experiences, challenged by a context of social isolation unprecedented for a globalized world. The resources that allowed us to build and innovate in the face of such a scenario were mostly derived from communication technologies. In a very short time, the contexts of work, schools, social practices migrated to computers’ screens, cell phones, and so on, transforming them into learning tools mediating social relations. People have long used technology to study, to work and to relate to each other. With COVID-19, we need to face unpredictable situations, requiring rapid adaptation, and the urgent creation of remote relational contexts as a way to respond immediately to the challenges and problem situations emerging from the pandemic. In this article, the remote teaching experience of an undergraduate class at a Brazilian university will be discussed, considering the students’ self-perception about the dynamics of their creative processes in this period. Through a “Free Talk” session carried out in an undergraduate class, we will discuss technologies and teaching, differentiated educational practices and their impacts on the learning processes and, in particular, we will reflect on creativity, the fragility of its development in difficult times and its power to deal with unpredictability, transforming human paths into new possibilities.

Authors: Pele Irina , Bolca Ciprian , Dumitrache-Rujinski Ștefan , Mihălțan Florin
Published: August 2021

Aim: Postoperative complications, especially pulmonary complications, are described after lung resections, with different risk factors involved. We evaluate the relationship between lung function, exercise test parameters and the occurrence of postoperative outcomes in patients with pulmonary resections.

Methods: A 5 years prospective observational study on patients with lung resection (lobectomy, bilobectomy and pneumonectomy) for lung cancer and other pulmonary pathologies has been performed. All the patients were preoperatively evaluated using spirometry, plethysmography, diffusing capacity test and cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET). Data were analysed regarding the linkage between cardiopulmonary fitness and postoperative outcomes (respiratory complications and 90-day mortality).

Results: Of 155 consecutive patients (109 male, mean age 61.2 ± 9.8 years), 130 (83.9%) underwent pulmonary resection for lung cancer. Nearly 24% of patients developed postoperative respiratory complications (mainly atelectasis, prolonged air leak and respiratory failure). The 90-day mortality was 5.2%. A reduced absolute value of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) was found to be associated with postoperative atelectasis [odds ratio (OR) 0.33; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.11–0.99], but with low accuracy. The most related variable and a predictor to prolonged air leak was FEV1/vital capacity (VC) ratio (OR 0.90; 95% CI 0.83–0.99). Patients who developed respiratory failure had lower values of static volumes and breathing reserve (BR%) compared to those without respiratory failure, but with no significant difference (P > 0.050). No relationship to mortality was noted.

Conclusion: In our study group, lower values of FEV1 were related to postoperative atelectasis and obstructive dysfunction with persistent air leak, with no significant association with mortality.

Published: August 2021

Despite the common use of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum level as a tumour marker in diagnosis of prostate cancer, it seems that the PSA doubling time (PSADT) and PSA velocity (PSAV) could be more useful indicators of tumour behaviour and prognosis for patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the value of PSAV and PSADT in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and their relationship with prostate cancer histopathological characteristics. Eighty-six patients undergoing radical prostatectomy were enrolled in the study. Based on the PSA measurements the PSA dynamic values were calculated: PSADT and PSAV. In addition, clinical and histo-pathological characteristics, including disease stage and prognostic groups were evaluated. The obtained results showed that the first PSA value was 4.29 ng/ml (1.28–13.56), the second PSA value was 7.76 ng/ml (7.60–47.60), and the third PSA value was 9.67 ng/ml (2.56–98.50). The median PSADT was 51.01 months (7.80–311.81) and the median PSAV was 2.66 ng/ml/per year (0.22–4.66). In addition, significant correlations between PSAV and pre- and post-operative Gleason score, and prognostic groups were observed. Significant correlation between PSADT and pre- and pos-toperative Gleason score and prognostic risk groups was demonstrated. This study demonstrated that PSAV and PSADT were significantly correlated with postoperative Gleason score and prognostic risk groups, demonstrating its role in the diagnosis of prostate cancer progression.

Published: August 2021

Estimating the remaining service life of a forklift for an objective reference is not only a requirement of the applicable legislation but also represents a challenge for specialized technical staff.

It is well known that the first fatigue failure element of a forklift is its fork. A simulation using the SolidWorks suite and its result is presented in this article. It allows the identification of critical areas of fatigue failure.

Based on the design of the subassembly and the loading scheme of the original product, the model under analysis with finite element was made on a 1: 1 scale. The filet areas also required a comparative analysis of the results obtained depending on the choice of mesh and discretization element.

Starting from the mechanical properties of the material as well as the association with the characteristic fatigue yield curves (Wohler), a method for estimating the remaining service life of the structure is proposed. The aspect related to obtaining exact results without an excessive consumption of computing resources was also taken into account.

Authors: Köken Ali , Farhad Ahmed Ali Abdulqader
Published: August 2021

Recent developments in the social sphere also cause an increase in transportation activities. Increased transport activities lead to the construction of new roads and bridges. Different bridge construction systems are available to overcome large span obstacles. Cable-stayed bridges are more advantageous construction systems than other bridge type building carrier systems in overcoming large spans through suspension cables. Therefore, it is also widely preferred by designers. The biggest factor in the development of cable-stayed bridges is undoubtedly steel cables. Cable-stayed bridges are bridge structures that become lighter with the increase of the span, which has a more expanded flexibility, and that includes a cable system with the effect of nonlinear factors. Costs of cable-stayed bridges vary according to different spans. The span as well as the deck material used in the bridge system have a great effect on the cost. In cable-stayed bridge systems, decks are constructed of reinforced concrete and steel.

The costs of cable-stayed bridges are widely discussed around the world; therefore, the effect of the span and deck material on the cost of cable-stayed bridges is being investigated. The main bearing elements of such bridges are cables, decks, and towers, and among these elements, the tower bridge carries all the weight of the bridge, even other external loads such as vehicle, wind, etc. In this study, the three-dimensional model of the cable, deck and tower elements that make up the cable-stayed bridge system was created and analysed using the CSI Bridge Program. The AASHTO LRFD Standards, which are widely used in the analysis of bridge systems with the CSI Bridge program and the design of bridge systems in the world, were used. In the study, the analysis and designs of cable-stayed bridges with reinforced concrete and steel deck at 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 meters span were carried out. The amount of materials and costs used in the analysis and design of the cable-stayed bridge systems were obtained and the results were interpreted.
Characterization of Coconut Shell Ash and Eggshell Powder as Supplementary Cementitious Materials in Roller Compacted Concrete Industrial Access Pavements and Parking Facilities
Authors: Ogbonna Alban Chidiebere
Published: August 2021

The cost of cement used in concrete works is on the increase and unaffordable, yet the need for hydraulic cement concrete and other cement concrete based infrastructures keeps growing with increasing population, thus the need to find alternative binding materials that can be used solely or in partial replacement of cement. The use of waste materials with pozzolanic properties in concrete production is a becoming a worldwide practice. The assessment of the pozzolanic activity of cement replacement materials is becoming increasingly important because of the need for more sustainable cementing products. In this study, a mixture of coconut shell ash and eggshell powder is used as partial replacement of hydraulic cement in ranges of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The concrete specimens were prepared at 1: 3: 2.5 mix ratio of cementitious material, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. The mix ratio satisfied the minimum cement content of 148.32kg/m3 (250Ib/yd3) and the minimum cementitious material content of 267 kg/m3 (450Ib/yd3) for roller compacted concrete pavement. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength tests were carried out to assess the strength characteristics of ternary concrete mixture containing coconut shell ash and eggshell powder and the feasibility of using coconut shell ash and eggshell powder as partial replacement of cement in industrial plant access concrete roads and parking lots. The results indicate that a mixture of coconut shell ash and eggshell powder can be used up to 20% by weight for replacement of cement in roller compacted industrial plant access concrete roads and parking lots.

EVALUASI SISTEM PENYIAPAN GURU UNTUK MENGAJAR PADA JENJANG PENDIDIKAN DASAR
Authors: Sili Sabon Simon , Widodo
Published: August 2021

Kajian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi sistem pendidikan yang mempersiapkan guru SD pada Lembaga Pendidik dan Tenaga Kependidikan (LPTK) yaitu dengan membuat deskripsi tentang: (i)  sistem pendidikan penyiapan guru, (ii) status akreditasi LPTK dan program studi (Prodi) Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar (PGSD) serta Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG), (iii) pemenuhan standar mutu dosen di LPTK, (iv) mutu input mahasiswa LPTK, dan (v) mutu magang oleh mahasiswa LPTK. Pendekatan kajian ini adalah campuran kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan memanfaatkan data sekunder yang ada di Pangkalan Data Pendidikan Tinggi (PDDikti) dan Badan Akreditasi Nasional Pendidikan Tinggi (BAN PT). Kajian ini juga menggunakan data primer berupa data survey online terhadap mahasiswa tingkat akhir di empat LPTK di wilayah Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Hasilnya: Sistem pendidikan penyiapan guru SD sedang mengalami perubahan ke arah yang lebih baik, namun perubahan itu tidak diimplementasikan secara ketat. Jika sebelumnya lulusan sarjana pendidikan bisa langsung direkrut menjadi guru, maka setelah terbitnya Permendibud 87/2013 tentang PPG, seorang sarjana pendidikan harus mengikuti PPG terlebih dahulu jika ingin menjadi guru profesional. Ditemukan juga bahwa sebagian besar Prodi PGSD dan PPG belum terakreditasi BAN PT. Prodi PGSD yang sudah terakreditasi, sebagian hanya memperoleh nilai C. Pemenuhan LPTK terhadap standar dosen, pada umumnya sudah sangat siap untuk menghasilkan lulusan yang bermutu karena sebagian besar sudah memenuhi standar yang ditetapkan yaitu minimal berpendidikan S2. Pada sejumlah LPTK jumlah dosennya justru berlebih sehingga beban kerjanya kurang dari standar yang ditetapkan. Mutu input mahasiswa, sudah cukup baik sebab animo masyarakat yang tinggi untuk masuk PGSD, dan sebagian besar mahasiswa memilih masuk PGSD karena memang bercita-cita untuk menjadi guru. Terkait Praktik Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL) atau Pemantapan Kemampuan Mengajar (PKM), sebagian besar mahasiswa merasa telah mendapat pengalaman memadai dari PPL/PKM untuk menjadi guru. Mengacu pada temuan ini kajian merekomendasikan agar Kemendikbud dan LPTK menerapkan secara ketat Permendikbud 87/2013 yaitu hanya mau menghasilkan guru profesional saja melalui PPG. Agar program ini dapat berjalan maka Kemendikbud harus bekerja sama dengan Pemerintah daerah (Pemda) agar mulai melakukan rekruitmen guru baru dengan persyaratannya hanya menerima lulusan PPG. PPG juga harus lebih mengutamakan mutu sehingga hanya mau menerima lulusan sarjana pendidikan. Selain itu khusus untuk BAN PT, agar segera melakukan akreditasi terhadap Prodi yang hanya diselenggarakan berdasarkan ijin operasional. Jika ada Prodi yang tidak memenuhi persyaratan maka sebaiknya diusulkan untuk dihentikan ijin operasionalnya.

Kata kunci: Lembaga Pendidikan Guru, Akreditasi, Standar dosen, mutu input mahasiswa

Biomechanical tests: applications and their reliability for the prediction of bone strength in broiler chicken
Authors: KHAN Komal , SEVİL KİLİMCİ Figen , KARA Mehmet
Published: August 2021

The poultry industry is considered potent for the economy of any country because chicken production is an important food source now-a-days. However, skeletal abnormalities are one of the major contributing factors to production loss. For decades researchers are trying to make contributions for the diagnosis of these problems effectively and are giving suggestions for the improvement in their skeletal deficiencies. Bone structural and metabolic disturbances (like tibial dyschondroplasia, osteoporosis and osteoarthrosis) are common in broiler chickens and have emerged in past few years. Due to fast growth and high leg to body weight ratio bone suffers excessive stress and loses the strength. Such conditions are manifested with a tendency for fracture. Understanding of bone quality provides deep information of the mechanical and functional aspects of bone tissues. The measurements of the bone strength can be performed with some methods, like the geometrical indices, radiographic or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric density measurements, ash content measurements or the assays of bone turnover biomarkers. But biomechanical tests are the core diagnostic tools that can measure bone health parameters with reliable indicators. In this review, an overview of the mechanical tests used to test bone quality has been given and the effectiveness of such methods is discussed using different bones of poultry birds. Knowing the basic concepts on biomechanical tests applied in poultry bones and comparing the results to identify suitable testing methods may input improvement in the dialogue between the researchers interested in the assessment of bone strength at both structural and pathophysiological levels.

Особистісна орієнтація сучасної освіти передбачає залучення дитини до естетичного досвіду людства, до творчої діяльності, до естетичного оцінювання діяльності, яка виступає осередком естетичного розвитку індивіда. У взаємовідношенню з відповідним оцінюванням набуває сприйняття точних запитань естетичної вихованості та естетичної роботи, оцінювання естетичної діяльності та опорних теоретичних засад створення естетичної оцінки дитини.
ВІДОБРАЖЕННЯ РЕЛІГІЙНИХ ТА ІСТОРИЧНИХ МОТИВІВ В УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ДУХОВНІЙ ПІСНІ XVII–XVIII СТ.
Authors: Медведик Галина
Published: August 2021

У статті розглянуто окремі аспекти змісту українських духовних пісень XVII–XVIIІ ст. Виявлено, що в окремих піснях поєднуються релігійні та історичні мотиви, спрямовані на відображення суспільних потреб поруч із традиційними молитовними зворотами. Підкреслено роль духовної пісні у педагогічно-виховному контексті, що особливо важливо в контексті тяглості музично-поетичних текстів від бароко до середньовіччя. Відтак проведено аналіз вибраних пісень, який свідчить про лексичні паралелі гимнографічних піснеспівів і духовних пісень. Підкреслено тяглість і актуальність в барокову добу півчої літургійної практики. Це зумовило поєднання в українській культурі традицій обрядових богослужінь і західноєвропейський католицько-протестантський досвід духовного співу. В такий спосіб увиразнено і обґрунтовано вагомість української духовної пісні в мистецькій національній скарбниці.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of noise exposure in certain residential districts in Fallujah city. Twenty-nine stations were selected and divided into two groups; the first group was located 50 to 100 metres from the main streets (quiet areas), whilst the second was located directly on the main streets. Noise levels were measured at a rate of three readings per station for different time periods for approximately sixty days in the year 2020. Mean values were taken in both the morning and evening using a portable sound level meter (Auto range, RS-232). The highest noise level was measured at Alforkan station for the morning reading (83.8 dB) within the second group, while the lowest noise level was measured at Alshohada alawla district station for the morning reading (63.2 dB) within the first group. As for the results of the daily noise level in the evening, the highest daily average (79.4 dB) was measured at Jaish al Shabi street, while the lowest daily average (56.4 dB) was at Dor Alsekak district. The total average noise levels for the morning measurements for the first and second groups were 66.7 dB and 77.2 dB, respectively, whereas those for evening measurements were 65.3 dB and 71.7 dB, respectively. According to field measurements, the average values for the noise (traffic) for the first and second groups in the morning and afternoon exceeded 68 dB, which may cause people to feel very disturbed according to the WHO guidelines on exposure to external environmental noise. In general, all the results measured in this study are above the limits allowed both locally and internationally. This is due to certain erroneous practices in daily activities in addition to the irregular spread of electric generators and commercial activities as well as heavy traffic in the city.

Authors: Majeed R. N. , El-Sheikh S. A.
Published: August 2021

This paper aims to define and study new separation axioms based on the b-open sets in topological ordered spaces, namely strong - -ordered spaces ( ). These new separation axioms are lying between strong -ordered spaces and - - spaces ( ). The implications of these new separation axioms among themselves and other existing types are studied, giving several examples and counterexamples. Also, several properties of these spaces are investigated; for example, we show that the property of strong - -ordered spaces ( ) is an inherited property under open subspaces.

Published: August 2021

Compression of speech signal is an essential field in signal processing. Speech compression is very important in today’s world, due to the limited bandwidth transmission and storage capacity. This paper explores a Contourlet transformation based methodology for the compression of the speech signal. In this methodology, the speech signal is analysed using Contourlet transformation coefficients with statistic methods as threshold values, such as Interquartile Filter (IQR), Average Absolute Deviation (AAD), Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) and standard deviation (STD), followed by the application of (Run length encoding) They are exploited for recording speech in different times (5, 30, and 120 seconds). A comparative study of performance of different transforms is made in terms of (Signal to Noise Ratio,Peak Signal to Noise Ratio,Normalized Cross-Correlation, Normalized Cross-Correlation) and the compression ratio (CR). The best stable result of implementing our algorithm for compressing speech is at level1 with   AAD or MAD, adopting Matlab 2013a language.
Study of the Density Distributions and Elastic form Factors of the Exotic Nuclei, 8He And 26F, Via the Three-Body Model
Authors: Sallh Ghufran M. , Abdullah Ahmed N.
Published: August 2021

The matter, proton, and neutron density distributions of the ground state, the nuclear root-mean-square (rms) radii, and the elastic form factors of a two- neutron, 8He and 26F, halo nuclei have been studied by the three body model of  within the harmonic oscillator (HO) and Woods-Saxon (WS) radial wave functions. The calculated results show that the two body model within the HO and WS radial wave functions succeeds in reproducing the neutron halo in these exotic nuclei. Moreover, the Glauber model at high energy (above several hundred MeV) has been used to calculate the rms radii and reaction cross sections of these nuclei.
Evaluating EFL University Learners’ Pragmatic Competence: Brown and Levinson’s Negative Politeness Strategies as a Model

         Pragmatic competence forms a basic pillar in learning and teaching   the communicative use of a foreign language (FL). Evaluating the FL pragmatic knowledge is a challenging and complex area of language testing. Far from the grammatical content of language, the current study aims to evaluate EFL learners' pragmatic competence in terms of communicating the linguistic expressions of negative politeness. Accordingly, it investigates EFL university learners’ ability to show social distance and realize power relations towards addressees. The study also presents the negative politeness strategies on the basis of Brown and Levinson's (1987) theory.  

          It is hypothesized that learners are pragmatically unaware of showing negative face towards addressees. It is further assumed that learners show tendency to go on record without redressive action, which often threatens addressees’ negative face. Added to that, learners are not aware of the appropriate use of politeness strategies followed according to the English culture. To investigate this, a Discourse Completion Test consisting of hypothetical situations that are familiar to learners' university life has been formulated.

         The study concludes that learners experience pragmatic failures while engaging in situations where there is a need to show negative face, and utter direct speech acts frequently. In addition, learners do not distinguish between the appropriate politeness strategies (positive, negative and off record) as far as the cultural orientation of the English language is concerned. They further disregard the appropriate use of address forms that constitute a paramount aspect of negative politeness.

This study provided data on morphological variation in Periophthalmus chrysospilos. The study was carried out in four provinces from Tra Vinh to Soc Trang, Bac Lieu and Ca Mau. Fish samples were collected by hand-catching over 12 months from April 2020 to March 2021. Analysed results of a collection of 1,031 individuals (508 females and 523 males) showed that the total length (TL) and weight (W) of the female Periophthalmus chrysospilos were higher than that of the male, higher in the wet season than in the dry season and gradually increased from Tra Vinh to Ca Mau. Besides, the total length and weight of fish were also influenced by the interaction of season ´ site and gender ´ site. In addition, the morphological variation of this species such as eye diameter (ED), eye distance (DE), body height (BD), head length (HL) and taxonomic ratios such as HL/TL, BD/TL, ED/HL, DE/HL was gender, seasonal fluctuations and study sites. These morphological variations and ratios were also influenced by interactions season ´ site interactions. The findings contributed further information to fish identification and the ecological adaptation understanding of this species.
