The behavior of the sound spectrum of free oscillations of cylindrical ceramic samples for a light yellow face brick at the different firing conditions and hardening by additives of fine glass fiber wastes is interpreted. Correlation of frequencies and relaxation time of sound harmonics with internal defects and compressive and flexural strength is revealed. The proposed testing technique reduces the costs of industrial scaling of such technology of the ceramics hardening.

Published: January 2020

С помощью комбинационного рассеяния света (КРС) исследованы спектральные характеристики межмолекулярных колебаний воды, связанные с низкочастотными (около 50 сm-1 в ИК поглощении) и с высокочастотными (183.4 сm-1 в ИК поглощении) колебаниями молекул воды. Рассмотрение проводилось в рамках представлений о классическом затухающем осцилляторе. В координатах квадрат ширины --- квадрат частоты для любого колебания характеристики его полосы отображаются в виде точки. Показано, что совокупность экспериментально полученных точек распределяется в некоторой области этой системы координат неравномерно. Обнаружено, что для каждого из колебаний внутри соответствующей области точки расположены на двух близких участках, разделенных практически незанятой точками полосой. Математическая обработка позволила показать наличие мелкомасштабной неоднородности распределения точек. Вопрос о том, является ли обнаруженная неоднородность спектральных параметров отражением реально существующих состояний в воде, требует дальнейшего исследования. Ключевые слова: комбинационное рассеяние, вода, низкочастотные спектры, собственная частота, динамическая восприимчивость, спектральные координаты, неоднородное распределение.

Effect of corona discharge on holographic recording of diffraction gratings in Cu-As2Se3 thin film structure was studied. Thin film structures of Cu-As2Se3 were prepared on glass substrates by sequential deposition of Cu and As2Se3 layers using vacuum thermal evaporation technique. Applying of negative corona discharge during recording procedure caused an enhancing both of the holographic sensitivity and diffraction efficiency of the grating. Exposure to actinic light illumination resulted in photodarkening effect in Cu-As2Se3 thin film structure in the spectrum region of strong absorption. At the same time the fotoinduced bleaching of Cu-As2Se3 film structure in the spectrum region of weak absorption was observed. Negative corona discharge applied during the light exposure enhanced the bleaching, while positive corona discharge caused its weakening. The photoinduced diffusion of Cu+ ions into As2Se3 film was considered to explain qualitatively the experimental results.

The Feasibility and Utility of a Personal Health Record for Persons With Dementia and Their Family Caregivers for Web-Based Care Coordination: Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Peterson Colleen M , Mikal Jude P , McCarron Hayley R , Finlay Jessica M , Mitchell Lauren L , Gaugler Joseph E
Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND

Managing the complex and long-term care needs of persons living with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) can adversely impact the health of informal caregivers and their care recipients. Web-based personal health records (PHRs) are one way to potentially alleviate a caregiver’s burden by simplifying ADRD health care management

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate Personal Health Record for Persons with Dementia and Their Family Caregivers (PHR-ADRD), a free web-based information exchange tool, using a multiphase mixed methods approach.

METHODS

Dementia caregivers (N=34) were surveyed for their well-being and perceptions of PHR-ADRD feasibility and utility at 6 and 12 months using close- and open-ended questions as well as a semistructured interview (n=8). Exploratory analyses compared participants’ characteristics as well as PHR-ADRD use and experiences based on overall favorability status.

RESULTS

Feasibility and utility scores decreased over time, but a subset of participants indicated that the system was helpful. Quantitative comparisons could not explain why some participants indicated favorable, neutral, or unfavorable views of the system overall or had not engaged with PHR-ADRD. Qualitative findings suggested that technology literacy and primary care provider buy-in were barriers. Both qualitative and qualitative findings indicated that time constraints to learn and use the system affected most participants.

CONCLUSIONS

Development and dissemination of PHRs for family caregivers of persons with ADRD should aim to make systems user-friendly for persons with limited time and technological literacy. Establishing health care provider buy-in may be essential to the future success of any PHR system.

El fortalecimiento del Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones como señal del nuevo equilibrio del poder en el Estado Mexicano
Authors: Zeind Chávez Marco Antonio
Published: January 2020

Dentro de la nueva conformación del Derecho en el siglo XXI, las modificaciones constitucionales en áreas específicas (tales como lo son las telecomunicaciones) son relevantes en la nueva forma de comprender y desarrollar los mecanismos de control democrático que existe entre las instituciones que los regulan.

La sentencia que resuelve el amparo 1100/2015, es de vital importancia en el desarrollo de la investigación y consolidación de los Organismos Constitucionales Autónomos (OCAs).

Han sido estos entes públicos los que han dado el giro de tuerca en la forma de abordar la división de poderes y las facultades de los Poderes Ejecutivo y Legislativo, los cuales se ven confrontados por la capacidad técnica y especializada de algunos OCAs. De ahí surgió la necesidad e inquietud de analizar una sentencia que marca un punto de quiebre no sólo para los mismos OCAs; sino en asuntos tan específicos como son las tarifas de interconexión.

Festas Populares na Bahia: Gestão e Dinâmica Identitária
Authors: Davel Eduardo , Dantas Marcelo
Published: January 2020

Festas populares são experiências coletivas que expressam a identidade de uma comunidade, de uma sociedade, de um povo. Elas se perpetuam em forma de tradição e se renovam na dinâmica cultural em permanente contemporaneidade. Os conhecimentos existentes sobre as festas populares são multidimensionais: dimensão religiosa, cultural, simbólica, econômica, política, entre outras. Todavia, sabemos pouco sobre sua dimensão organizativa. O objetivo desse artigo é mergulhar no universo das festas populares, em particular nas festas de Salvador, para discutir uma concepção de gestão pautada pela prática da negociação de sentidos - entre os diferentes organizadores da festa - que move a dinâmica identitária. Pensar as festas populares a partir dessa chave interpretativa significa um movimento duplo: de um lado, conhecer a lógica organizativa que explica o florescimento das festas populares e, de outro lado, ampliar nosso entendimento sobre a gestão desse tipo de fenômeno organizacional.
PROJETO CAOS: CONSUMO E NIILISMO EM CLUBE DA LUTA (1999)
Authors: Carvalho Lucas Ribeiro de , Santos Gustavo Souza
Published: January 2020

A sociedade contemporânea se destaca por sua natureza consumista, que de acordo com Lipovetsky (2005), criou um modo de vida centrado nos valores materialistas. Nietzsche, grande crítico da sociedade moderna, em seus estudos afirmava a morte de Deus, evidenciando sua menor influência na sociedade. O vazio na sociedade contemporânea que passa a ser preenchido por valores de consumo, norteando a vida do homem para a apreciação laica do sistema capitalista. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a relação entre a sociedade de consumo e a concepção niilista presente no filme Clube da Luta (1999) de David Fincher, descrevendo aspectos da teoria niilista de Friedrich Nietzsche que abordam os valores, a moral e a libertação do homem moderno e identificando o discurso crítico do filme sobre as relações de consumo em confronto com a máxima libertária do pensamento niilista.
EFFECTIVE WAYS OF TEACHING PRAGMATICS: HUMOR IN THE CLASSROOM
Authors: De Oliveira Ulisses Tadeu Vaz , Ikeda Sumiko Nishitani , Saparas Marcelo
Published: January 2020

Pragmatics takes into account the relations between signs and their users, the speakers. When somebody says “Thanks, I’m not hungry” in response to the statement “You left the door open”, your are making a pragmatic mistake, because in such context “thanks I’m not hungry” is an inappropriate reply for the statement “You left the door open”. So, pragmatics is the dimension of the study of languages that deals with the relation between signs and their users in their concrete contexts of use, in other words, it is the study of the use of language in communication, particularly the relationships between sentences and the contexts and situations in which they are used. Pragmatics includes the study of: (a) how the interpretation and use of utterances depend on knowledge of the real world; (b) how speakers use and understand speech acts; and (c) how the structure of sentences is influenced by the relationship between the speaker and the hearer. Furthermore, within a Systemic-Functional perspective, language is functional (people use language with a purpose), semantic (the purpose is to make meaning and socially interact with other people), semiotic (meaning making by choice) and contextual (pragmatic) as social interaction influences and is influenced by the context in which it is inserted. In this line of reasoning, the objective of this paper is the consideration that in teaching L2 pragmatics the socio-culturally and contextually appropriate (or inappropriate) communication will depend on the teaching of L2 pragmatics in the classroom in certain instances, as there can be many pragmatically appropriate ways to ask for information, to schedule an appointment, etc. With this in mind, our corpus is based on utterances and situations found in teaching English as L2 environment. Our particular the context is one of a regular English class in a private English school in the state of São Paulo, Brazil in which the L2 teacher used the excerpt of the movie Philomena and comic cartoons to teach English. Some results showed that the great majority of students investigated could not make out the humorous scenes of the video scenes and cartoons before their L2 teacher explained the scenes/cartoons to them mainly due to pragmatic issues.

Normas como princípios de ação e capacidade reflexiva: fundamentos para a compreensão da Razão Prática kantiana
Authors: Pereira Paulo Henrique Rodrigues
Published: January 2020

RESUMOCríticos da teoria normativa legal têm discutido que essa linha de pensamento tem feito da racionalidade uma prática “causal”, na qual a agência apenas refletiria uma espécie de sentimentalismo, sendo assim excluída das potencialidades da razão. Para esses críticos, a teoria normativa legal expulsou a contingência da ação do escopo da razão. Como resultado, fez indivíduos perderem a capacidade de deliberar, e a prática legal se tornou um exercício formalista, informado pela moralidade dedutiva. Este trabalho discute alguns desses críticos, argumentando que parte de suas oposições advém de uma má compreensão de como regras funcionam na realidade. Toma do pensamento de Christine Korsgaard e Onora O’Neill, dentre outros, que argumentaram que premissas falhas acerca da funcionalidade de regras são uma das fontes de tal desentendimento. O artigo aborda esse debate de uma perspectiva kantiana, referindo-se ao imperativo categórico e à Terceira Crítica de Kant como fontes úteis para analisar a teoria normativa legal. O Imperativo Categórico Kantiano foi atacado por muitos moralistas nos últimos dois séculos por ser excessivamente formalista, assim como como incompatível  com a razão prática em sua formulação clássica. Este trabalho pretende questionar essa interpretação, argumentando que a visão kantiana de agência e deliberação não a apoiam se interpretadas com a devida consideração a aspectos de sua arquitetura moral.PALAVRAS-CHAVEFilosofia do Direito. Teoria Normativa Legal. Kant. ABSTRACTCritics of normative legal theory have contended that this line of thought has turned rationality into a “causalist” practice, in which agency merely reflects sentimentality, being thus excluded from the potentialities of reason. For those critics, normative legal theory expelled the contingency of action from the scope of reason. As a result, the theory made individuals lose their capability to deliberate, and legal practice became a formalist exercise, informed by deductive morality. This paper discusses some of these critics, arguing that part of their contentions comes from a lack of understanding of how rules really work. It draws upon the thinking of Christine Korsgaard and Onora O ́Neill, among others, who have argued that flawed premises on the functionality of rules is one of the sources of such misunderstanding. The article approaches this debate from a Kantian perspective, referring to the categorical imperative and to Kant’s Third critique as useful resources to analyze normative legal theory. The Kantian categorical imperative has been attacked by many moralists in the last two centuries for being excessively formalist, as well as incompatible with practical reason in its classical formulation. This article intends to question this interpretation, arguing that Kant’s views on agency and deliberation do not support this view if interpreted with due consideration to broader aspects of his moral architecture.KEYWORDSPhilosophy of Law.

Authors: Moretti Andrezza Campos , Carvalho Yara Maria de
Published: January 2020

Apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa composta por dois campos de experimentação, entrevistas e observações sistemáticas que objetivou compreender como a teoria labaniana pode contribuir com o trabalho dos profissionais de saúde que atuam com práticas corporais no Sistema Único de Saúde. Ela contou com a participação de dez profissionais e foi implementada em dois equipamentos de saúde de São Paulo/SP/Brasil, possibilitando discussões sobre três modos de se conduzir as práticas corporais. São eles: a observação e/ou imitação de sequências de movimento; a qualidade das interações verbais; a diversificação de estratégias didáticas. Verificou-se que a teoria labaniana atuou, nesses casos, na constituição e no aprimoramento do trabalho com as práticas corporais e concluiu-se que ela é um importante referencial para a formação de profissionais que atuam com tais ações, o que aponta para a necessidade de se investir na difusão desse referencial nos serviços públicos de saúde.
Studying the Performance of Cognitive Models in Time Series Forecasting
Authors: Santos Neto Ademir Batista , Ferreira Tiago Alessandro Espindola , Batista Maria Conceição Moraes , Firmino Paulo Renato Alves
Published: January 2020

Cognitive models have been paramount for modeling phenomena for which empirical data are unavailable, scarce, or only partially relevant. These approaches are based on methods dedicated to preparing experts and then to elicit their opinions about the variables that describe the phenomena under study. In time series forecasting exercises, elicitation processes seek to obtain accurate estimates, overcoming human heuristic biases, while being less time consuming. This paper aims to compare the performance of cognitive and mathematical time series predictors, regarding accuracy. The results are based on the comparison of predictors of the cognitive and mathematical models for several time series from the M3-Competition. From the results, one can see that cognitive models are, at least, as accurate as ARIMA models predictions.
MEDIDAS TARIFÁRIAS E TÉCNICAS AO COMÉRCIO INTERNACIONAL: UM OLHAR SOBRE OS PAÍSES AVANÇADOS E EMERGENTES

Published: January 2020

This study evaluates the adoption and impact of tariffs and technical measures for emerging and advanced countries. The results showed that tariffs are considerably higher in emerging countries, but the negative effect of these tariffs is more intense for advanced countries. With regard to technical measures, the ones that requires changes in the product tend to be facilitating trade, while that demanding changes in the production process have shown mixed results. Thus, despite the elevation of production costs, technical measures can facilitate trade due standardization, which makes universal harmonization of standards and regulations a benefit possible with broad international dialogue.

The development of shopping malls is a major social and global phenomenon that has unearthed a novel facet for customer satisfaction and their consequent or relative buying behavior. The aim of his paper was to explore the gender differences in consumer buying behavior at selected Durban shopping malls. It is an observational cross-sectional study carried out on 700 randomly selected respondents to study buying capacity, buying behavior and shopping experience of male and female consumers at shopping malls in the city of Durban, South Africa. Data was collected through pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire with closed ended questions. The study revealed that there are notable gender differences, which shape shopping behavior among men and women. Time and money spent at the mall was significantly high among female as compared to male consumers. Consequently, the results attributed that personal attributes and shopping mall attractiveness factors played a crucial role in influencing customer shopping behavior amongst the mall shoppers. The study concludes that gender differences are prevalent in the buying behavior of customers at the select shopping malls in Durban, South Africa. Average time spent by female is high as compared to male which also affect their average money spent at shopping mall. Psychological, Social and Cultural factors are highly influencing customersâ€™ buying behavior at shopping malls.
Does Liquidity Risk Explain the Time-Variation in Asset Correlations? Evidence from Stocks, Bonds and Commodities
Authors: Twala Zintle , Demirer Riza , Gupta Rangan
Published: January 2020

The time-variation in asset correlations have broad implications in asset pricing, portfolio management and hedging. Numerous studies in the literature have found that the change in correlations is mainly related to the magnitude of market movements, hence volatility. However, recent research finds that the size of markets fluctuations is not necessarily the primary driver for the time-variation in correlations, but that the effect of market movements is amplified in times of high financial distress, characterised by low liquidity. This paper seeks to investigate the effect of liquidity on time-varying correlations among different asset classes, namely stocks, corporate bonds and commodities. Our findings show that liquidity indeed has a significant effect on the time-variation in asset correlations, particularly in the case of how bond returns comove with other asset classes. We observe that higher liquidity risk is associated with lower correlation of bond returns with stocks as well as commodities. Our findings suggest that measures of liquidity risk can improve models of correlations; and potentially help improve the effectiveness of risk management strategies during periods of financial distress.

This paper was written with the following in mind: (1) to determine the effect of employee wellness on public servantsâ€™ professionalism, and (2) to establish the relationship between trade union activities and employee professionalism. Within organisations, employment relations are established to facilitate an interactive working relationship between an employer and an employee as well as determine how labour and social security law provisions addressed to employees are applied. We reviewed pertinent literature that guides employment relations and adopted the mixed methods to enable a rigorous study that will offer profound insight into the employment relations climate in Nigeria and how it affects professionalism. Subjects were drawn from the database of a public funded training provider, whichcaters exclusively for senior public servants. The data are presented in a graphical and narrative form owing to our use of themes in analysing the focus group interviews. Some interesting and at the same time confusing revelations emerge from this study. The distinct difference in the responses holds implications for research and practice. A future study that can clarify this confusion may start by identifying champions (trade unionists, managers at the coalface with unions and other employers) and then engaging them through indepth interviews to understand the real conditions which public servants are exposed. On a practical side, as confusing as the responses seem, they provide a serious opportunity for enhanced studies on Nigeriaâ€™s public service constitution. We make this call against the backdrop of what some social scientists have termed intense structural decay in the Nigerian public service.

Ever since Chinaâ€™s rise as a global superpower, there have been numerous debates about its role in Africa both from an Afrocentric and Eurocentric perspective. This is while some view its presence in Africa as that of a donor because of its growing investments, others are not entirely convinced and see Chinaâ€™s rising footprints in Africa as another colonialist state in need of looting Africa its resources. By utilizing a qualitative methodology, this paper ponders Chinese investments in Africa with the view of assessing the drivers underpinning China-Africa relations and how this has been beneficial to both parties concerned. In this vein, the study shows that China-Africa engagements are not something new, their relations dates back for decades though became more prominent from the 1950s after the Bandung Conference. Since then, China has risen to be a prominent player with regards to investments in Africa. It has further established various institutes aimed at strengthening its grip as a noticeable state in Africaâ€™s development and political landscapes. The paper concludes by outlining that China has in some way benefited Africa through its investments over the past few decades and these relations have been beneficial to both parties. However, it argues that for more prosperous relations moving forward, African leaders should utilize institutes such as the Forum on ChinaAfrica Cooperation (FOCAC) to articulate clear policies for their engagement(s) with China and to protect their small and fragile economies from cheap Chinese imports.

Published: January 2020

A lot has been published on burnout within the service industry; however, an in-depth investigation of job stressors and burnout in both the safety and health sectors of Namibia has been left unexplored. This study investigated the relationship between job demands-resources and burnout. Burnout occurs when an individual is exposed to emotional and interpersonal stressors on the job (exhaustion, cynicism and professional efficacy). Job demands require continuous efforts and job resources are aspects of the organisation that are helpful in achieving goals, reducing costs of job demands and stimulating growth and development. The sample is made up of police officers (n=482) and nursing staff (n=672) from various regions within Namibia (n=1154). Results were analysed using the SPSS (version 24) to assess the relationships between the variables. The results revealed exhaustion had a relationship with the workload, resources and organisational support. Lower levels of workload, accompanied with higher levels of resources and organisation support would reduce exhaustion. The workload can be managed by making using of timemanagement training, improving delegation, and by ensuring the employees have mentors and supervisory support. Training opportunities improve work resources and reduce work stress. Healthy coping strategies, like being active and meditation help to alleviate stress (exhaustion). Having healthy work relations enhances organisational support and improves coping mechanisms of employees.

This paper examines the nexus of working capital management and financial performance of selected multinational food and beverages industries in Nigeria for the period between 2006 and 2014 and establishes its linkage with risk-return theory. An explanatory research design is adopted and the secondary data used were gathered from 5 purposively selected quoted food and beverages companies using GLS panel regression analysis. The pooled regression shows that account receivable ratio (ARR) and debt ratio (DER) have negative effect but significant at 1%, working capital (WCA) is also significant at 5% but had positive effect, however, sales growth (SGR) was insignificant. It is also discovered from the Fixed Effect Estimation that working capital management variables such as account receivable ratio (ARR) and debt ratio (DER) have negative effect but significant at 1%, working capital (WCA) is also significant at 5% but has positive effect, while sales growth (SGR) has negative effect but insignificant to the performance of the companies. This signifies reduction in the performances of food and beverages industries which calls for urgent attention since they are posting inverse effect. The unison in both estimations shows that those variables are the major factors influencing the performance of food and beverages industries in Nigeria and thus, it is concluded that the management board of these industries should restructure their working capital management policy as it has the tendency of affecting the dividend policy and firmsâ€™ liquidity, which invariably affects the maximization of shareholdersâ€™ wealth. This can only be done when managers reduce account receivable days; ensure proper debt management technique, improve sales strategies to enhance sales growth as well as maintain optimal working capital level to reflect the risk-return theory of firms.
Behavioural Ethics among Nurses in Midwife Obstetric Units: Patients and their Perceptions in Cape Town, South Africa
Authors: Ezeuduji Ikechukwu O. , Mdivasi Vuyokazi
Published: January 2020

A structured questionnaire survey of randomly selected 229 patients in two public hospitals (maternity wards) in Cape Town, South Africa was done to explore post-natal patientsâ€™ perceptions towards the ethical behaviour of nurses in their wards. 150 questionnaires received were usable for descriptive, correlation, and exploratory factor analysis (principal component analysis). From the results, inadequate nursesâ€™ number, negligence on the part of the nurses, and lack of detailed information to patients are the three clear issues that need to be addressed in these public hospitals to increase patient satisfaction and retention, should they wish to give birth again. Patientsâ€™ concerns with the nursesâ€™ ethical behaviour is related to â€˜empathyâ€™ and â€˜assuranceâ€™ dimensions. The importance of these two dimensions cannot be overemphasised in medical care, globally, as they are increasingly becoming the driving forces towards patientsâ€™ satisfaction and retention. Understanding the individual needs of the patients and showing them that the nurses do care through emotive individualised attention, and acts that raise the confidence levels of patients that the nurses and the hospital will deliver safe services, are recommended.
