El agua es un fluido de proceso de mucha importancia en Tecnología Nuclear. La Unidad de Actividad Química (UAQ) ha dedicado mucho esfuerzo al estudio de sus propiedades fundamentales y de sus aplicaciones, con miras a optimizar el funcionamiento de los sistemas refrigerante, moderador y auxiliares en Centrales Nucleares. Uno de los aspectos fundamentales de estudio ha sido la necesidad de mantener agua muy pura en esos circuitos, para minimizar la corrosión de los materiales estructurales, y la incorporación de radionucleídos al agua. Esta incorporación es responsable de un incremento de las dosis ocupacionales de radiación de los trabajadores. La tecnología del agua como insumo de la industria nuclear requiere poseer capacidades en la producción y mantenimiento de agua extremadamente limpia. Dichas capacidades son las que se usan también para brindar soluciones a la provisión de agua a comunidades rurales aisladas, y a las pequeñas empresas para encontrar alternativas al tratamiento de sus efluentes. Los estudios para estos fines se han canalizado a través de una colaboración con las Universidades Nacionales de San Martín y de Tucumán.

Authors: Mukul Sailesh Kumar , Kumar Amit , Mokhtar Ejaz Ahmad , Pandey Shweta
Published: April 2017

Orthognathic surgery may be complicated by difficulty in achieving hemostasis because unlike soft tissue, the vessels traversing bone cannot be identified and isolated before osteotomy. In this study we evaluated the amount of blood loss and duration of surgery under deliberate hypotensive anesthesia in comparison to amount of blood loss and duration of surgery under normotensive anesthesia on patients undergoing orthognathic surgical procedures. A total of 16 cases undergoing orthognathic surgery were included in this clinical study.Patients were randomly grouped under normotensive (group I) or hypotensive group (group 2). Patients in hypotensive anesthesia group were given Esmolol to maintain mean arterial pressure in the range of 70-80 mm of Hg till osteotomy segments were fixed. There was more than 40% reduction in blood loss in orthognathic surgical procedures when induced hypotension was used, but there was not statistically significant (p=0.91) reduction in the operative time. Based on surgeons and anesthetist’s assessment fast acting agents like Esmolol can be used intraoperatively to induce hypotension as and when required.
The Impact of the Air-Conditioning Systems on the Urban Microclimate of Beirut City
Authors: Z. Ghaddar  , K. Ghali  , N. Ghaddar
Published: April 2017

The urban heat island consists of the increase in the ambient temperature in urban areas with respect to their rural surroundings, due to artificial modifications of the natural land cover. As a result, significant increase in the demand on cooling loads occurs in cities during summer, inducing more energy consumption in buildings. Furthermore, air-conditioning systems release anthropogenic waste heat to outdoor intensifying the urban heat island. Therefore, an interactive relation exists between the heat islands formation and the cooling systems as well as mutual impacts. Hence, the contribution of the air-conditioning systems to the urban heat island is assessed through an appropriate numerical simulation for Beirut city. It is found that the intensive use of air conditioning systems in Beirut during summer could rise the street air temperature of about 0.8°C in the daytime and up to 4.7°C in the nighttime.

Published: April 2017

Bipolar plates remain one of the key components in PEM fuel cells. It serves as the medium (Channel) in which the reactive substances (Hydrogen and oxygen/air) finally converge on the catalyst layer where the electrochemical reaction leading to the release of electron (electricity) occurs. Its optimization would eventually have an immense impact on the performance of the fuel cell. Simulation and modelling is a key tool in the engineering industry as it saves engineers time and money before the manufacturing of any engineering product. It helps manufacturers have firsthand information about the design feasibility before the manufacturing process in a workshop.This paper reports the modelling and simulation of the bipolar plate in fuel cell using nickel Open Pore Cellular Foam material through computational fluid dynamics software (Ansys CFX). The modelled bipolar plate was validated through design of experiments (DOE) in Ansys and compared with other flow plate design (serpentine) in the fuel cell industry.

Published: April 2017

This paper analyses the performance of a low voltage microgrid, based on microturbines, and presents new control algorithms to improve the efficiency and reliability of microgrids. Due to the importance of islanding and focusing on the efficiency and the harness of the heat of the exhaust gasses in islanded operation mode, a new control algorithm has been developed. Additionally, a new control strategy is presented for the seamless transition between islanded and grid connected operation modes based on changing the control algorithms of the microturbines. synchronization, have been studied in [1]-[2]. Moreover, automatic fault detection in the utility network for the necessary transition between connected and islanded mode has been studied in [3]. However, it is still necessary to develop control strategies applied to generation systems to automatically transition between both modes with reduced voltage and current transients. The new proposed control algorithms are tested by simulation using a low voltage network fed by 5 microturbines. Lasseter model is used to represent the dynamic behaviour of the microturbines. The paper shows the simulation results and the main conclusions of the validation process.

Published: April 2017

In Latin America only few countries are 100% connected to national electric networks. In Colombia, 52% of the national territory is known as Non Interconnected Zones with a population of 2 million people. To cover these zones basic electricity needs, the use of natural, local and renewable resources such as the hydraulic is proposed, due to the high energetic potential. For this purpose, there are several types of hydraulic turbines, most of them used for large scale power generation (UPME, 2010). This paper aims to design of hydraulic turbomachines for micro-generation to satisfy the electricity demand on isolated villages is deeply research. To accomplish this, a three straight blades Vertical Axis Micro Turbine H-Darrieus type is designed and modelled using CAD computational tools. Hydraulic characterization is run on a CFD ANSYS module and fluid-structure interaction is analyzed. Prototyping is made using 3D-printing process in a digital fabrication lab.

Hemoglobin level and prevalence of anemia in Soliga tribal children of Karnataka, India
Authors: Prabhakar SC Jai , Gangadhar MR
Published: April 2017

Hemoglobin status of tribal children in Karnataka has not been investigated adequately and extensively. Hematological parameters help to understand the normal growth and nutritional status of the children. A cross-sectional purposive sampling study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of anemia among 152 Soliga tribal children belonging to 6+ to 10+ years of Mysore district, Karnataka, India. Hemoglobin level was determined by cyanmethaemoglobin method. As per the WHO cut-off points, the children were grouped under mild, moderate and severe anemia where the level of hemoglobin below 11.5 g/dL. BMI values were estimated based on the measurements of height and weight of the children. The overall prevalence of anemia was 91.4%; 7.2% mild, 74.3% moderate, and 9.9% severe anemia. Mean hemoglobin values between boys and girls of 7+ years age group were statistically significant. A higher proportion of girls were severely anemic in the age group of 9+ and 10+ years than boys. The prevalence of different grades of anemia was more or less equally distributed among boys and girls of Soliga children. Remarkably, about 94.3% normal BMI children were anemic. Comparison of mean values of anemia and BMI between boys and girls were found statistically significant. The level of hemoglobin among Soliga Children in Karnataka is a cause for concern. Appropriate measures should be taken by the respective authorities to decrease the prevalence of anemia and improve the condition of health among the children.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.6(2) 2016: 37-41

Published: April 2017

Diabetes is a global health burden and threat that needs proper managements. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is an important marker, both in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the influence of ethnicity on HbA1c in relation to fasting plasma glucose (FPG), by observation among newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics in Arab population, with a view to speculate comparison with other population groups in order to make a more rationale management plan of diabetes for different ethnic groups. This cross sectional study was performed amongst 573 newly diagnosed, untreated type 2 diabetic subjects attending the outpatient department (OPD) of Al-Qunfudah General Hospital Diabetic centre, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) from June 2010 to April 2013. Data were collect by face to face interview using pre-tested questionnaire. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood-pressure, fasting and post-prandial venous plasma glucose, HbA1c and serum creatinine were measured. Patients receiving any treatment for diabetes, suffering from Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), having ketonuria ?2+, pregnant and patients of hemolytic anemia were excluded from the study. Sensitivity, specificity and the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve for HbA1c using different cut-off values were calculated using venous FPG considering gold standard. The analysis was done by computer using SPSS version 22.0. Mean fasting plasma glucose was 227.9±81.45mg/dl and mean HbA1c was 9.79±2.22%, 269 patients (47%) had HbA1c >10%, much above ?6.5%, cutoff determined by American Diabetic association (ADA). For diagnosing diabetes, the optional cut-off for HbA1c was 7.9%, with sensitivity of 83.6%, specificity of 87.8%, positive predictive value of 98.6%, and negative predictive value of 33.3%. These characterizations would not only accord to construct more tactical initiative for comparison but also instigate the rationale to individualize HbA1c on ethnic basis for diabetes management protocols.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.6(2) 2016: 42-47
‘Ekhaya: Human displacement and the yearning for familial homecoming. From Throne (Cathedra) to Home (Oikos) in a grassroots ecclesiology of place and space: Fides Quaerens Domum et Locum [Faith Seeking Home and Space]
Authors: Louw Daniel J.
Published: April 2017

The classical definition of theology is ‘faith-seeking understanding’ (fides quaerens intellectum). The focus is on the understanding/interpretation of the object of Christian faith: God. There is another root for the quest for understanding, namely the praxis situation of faith. People live in particular historical contexts that have their own distinctive problems and possibilities; thus, the focus on place and space in a theology of home. A praxis approach is to learn life and the gospel from below, thus the emphasis on a grassroots ecclesiology that is structured like an oikos, a familial dwelling place. This understanding of the dynamics of the fellowship of believers as  oikodomein is captured by the Zulu notion for the yearning for home (home sickness): Ekhaya. It is argued that Ekhaya thinking is an alternative route for an operative ecclesiology that caters for the need of marginalised, oppressed, displaced and homeless people. Practical theology is thus described as fides  quaerens domum et locum [faith-seeking home and place], namely to inhabit. An Ekhaya approach to practical theological ecclesiology is about critical reflection through the eyes of those who are weak and who don’t count for much by the standards of successful people and institutions.
Mathematical errors made by high performing candidates writing the National Benchmark Tests
Authors: Bohlmann Carol A. , Prince Robert N. , Deacon Andrew
Published: April 2017

When the National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) were first considered, it was suggested that the results would assess entry-level students’ academic and quantitative literacy, and mathematical competence, assess the relationships between higher education entry-level requirements and school-level exit outcomes, provide a service to higher education institutions with regard to selection and placement, and assist with curriculum development, particularly in relation to foundation and augmented courses. We recognise there is a need for better communication of the findings arising from analysis of test data, in order to inform teaching and learning and thus attempt to narrow the gap between basic education outcomes and higher education requirements. Specifically, we focus on identification of mathematical errors made by those who have performed in the upper third of the cohort of test candidates. This information may help practitioners in basic and higher education. The NBTs became operational in 2009. Data have been systematically accumulated and analysed. Here, we provide some background to the data, discuss some of the issues relevant to mathematics, present some of the common errors and problems in conceptual understanding identified from data collected from Mathematics (MAT) tests in 2012 and 2013, and suggest how this could be used to inform mathematics teaching and learning. While teachers may anticipate some of these issues, it is important to note that the identified problems are exhibited by the top third of those who wrote the Mathematics NBTs. This group will constitute a large proportion of first-year students in mathematically demanding programmes. Our aim here is to raise awareness in higher education and at school level of the extent of the common errors and problems in conceptual understanding of mathematics. We cannot analyse all possible interventions that could be put in place to remediate the identified mathematical problems, but we do provide information that can inform choices when planning such interventions.

Did Codification Result in Improved Readability?
Authors: Barney Doug , Tschopp Daniel , Wells Steve
Published: April 2017

Financial reporting complexity costs money. The process of developing and promulgating financial reporting standards is costly. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the International Accounting Standards staff spend time, expertise, and funds writing detailed financial reporting standards. Reporting companies spend money studying and applying these financial reporting standards. Investors, financial analysts, and creditors, while knowledgeable in financial accounting, spend time and resources interpreting and analyzing the resulting financial reports. While there are a number of factors that contribute to the complexity in financial reporting, the level of reading complexity, or readability, is an essential element of a clear, easy-to-understand accounting standard. Recently the FASB adopted a process to bring about a Codification for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). What impact, if any, did the FASB’s Codification have on the level of reading complexity or readability in U.S. GAAP? The results of several readability tests reported in this article indicate the impact of Codification on the level of reading complexity or readability is not a positive one.
The Justification of Basic Rights

The Justification of Basic Rights: A Discourse-Theoretical Approach

In this paper, I suggest a discourse theory of basic legal rights that is superior to rival approaches, such as a will-based or an interest-based theory of rights. Basic rights are reciprocally and generally justifiable and binding claims on others (agents or institutions) that they should do (or refrain from doing) certain things determined by the content of these rights. We call these rights basic because they define the status of persons as full members of a normative order in such a way that they provide protection from severe forms of legal, political and social domination. The very ground of these rights is the status of persons as free and equal normative authorities within the order they are subject to. In other words, these rights are grounded in a fundamental moral right to justification.

Frankfurt Goes Kantian – But How Does It Work?

The paper discusses Forst’s discourse- theoretical adaption of the Kantian heritage. If Forst sees a Kantian concept of human dignity as the basis of his approach, he cannot rely on Habermas’ (quasi-)transcendental argument. It is furthermore questionable why Forst proposes that the content of human rights can only be determined in a procedural way. An alternative would be to determine the content from the normative starting point of human dignity.

A mudança organizacional sob a ótica do discurso: um caso de ensino de uma comunidade de pessoas com e sem deficiências de aprendizado
Authors: Santos Leonardo Blanco dos , Domenico Silvia Marcia Russi De
Published: April 2017

This article presents a teaching case focused on the discussion of organizational change, from the perspective of the interpretive paradigm and of the studies of organizational discourse. It describes a process of change within a non-profit organization, where people with and without learning disabilities, the latter called assistants, live in community. The introduction of new government guidelines changed the system of financing of such activity, giving more autonomy to people with learning difficulties and failing to provide activities that were central to the organization’s system of meanings. With the “heart” of the community threatened, assistants express the challenges to experience organizational change, reporting that they are dancing in blood. The case aims to contribute to the discussion of organizational change processes in postgraduate and possibly undergraduate courses, through an unusual perspective, which states the change not only as deliberate, but mainly as something built in participants’ interactions. It also can be used for supporting the discussion between agents and recipients of change in organizations.

Behavioral Finance is a modern branch of financial theory that aims to incorporate psychological and sociological issues in the investigation of market anomalies and individual investor behavior. This research sought to assess which demographic variables can be used to classify decision makers regarding to risk tolerance level. The questionnaire was applied with 305 individuals and its structure was based of the work of Gava and Vieira (2006), Grable and Lyntton (2001) and the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). Risk tolerance level was measured in two ways: an observable variable, from the SCF, and a latent variable composed of three constructs that refer to some risk dimensions: risk as investment, comfort and experience at risk and speculative risk (GRABLE; LYNTTON, 2001). In the analysis of data, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and variance analysis (ANOVA) were used. Results show that the greatest impact on risk tolerance among the analyzed dimensions was the dimension comfort and experience with risk; it presented the highest mean and the highest correlation with the risk tolerance score. Regarding to the demographic variables, the research shows that young, single and childless individuals tend to accept more risk in their investments. The income presented a nonlinear effect on the risk tolerance, but the more risk tolerant are those who are better able to withstand the possible losses arising from higher risk investments.

Relações entre Consumidores de Baixa Renda, Empresas e Governo: “eles lá e nós aqui”
Authors: Hemais Marcus Wilcox , Casotti Leticia Moreira
Published: April 2017

The marketing literature on low income consumers differs about the benefits the relationship between this segment with companies and governments can bring. Some authors believe that companies can improve the quality of life of this public and governments can protect it from market failures, by offering quality public services. Other authors, for their part, discuss the advantages received by companies at the expense of these consumers and say that governments do not protect them from companies. These perspectives, however, are not analyzed from the optic of low income consumers and do not represent the way that companies and government actions are received by them, creating doubt if this group obtains or not benefits from companies and governments. The present paper, therefore, brings forth the opinion of low income consumers, with the objective of understanding their view of the relationship between companies and governments. For this, 27 interviews with consumers from this segment were conducted. From the data, it is possible to understand that the interviewees see the relationship with companies and governments marked by a hierarchy of power, in which they are in an inferior position, without strength to change this. Low income consumers believe they do not obtain the promised quality of life improvements in their relationship with companies and governments and indicate a distancing between the involved parties in their accounts: them there and us here.

Authors: Barby Ana Aparecida de Oliveira Machado , Guimarães Sandra Regina Kirchner , Vestena Carla Luciane Blum
Published: April 2017

ResumoO presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar o desempenho na produção escrita de 4 crianças com Síndrome de Down, inseridas em classes regulares do ensino fundamental no município de Guarapuava, PR. Como procedimento, coletou-se 2 amostras de escrita de cada um dos participantes em dois momentos diferentes do ano letivo. A prova de escrita aplicada foi constituída de 4 palavras isoladas e uma frase e a análise do desempenho dos participantes foi fundamentada na psicogênese da língua escrita. Os resultados mostraram que as produções escritas das crianças com Síndrome de Down acompanhadas neste estudo foram semelhantes às descritas na literatura para seus pares. Porém, a evolução verificada ao longo do ano letivo foi lenta, mostrando que o processo de alfabetização dessas crianças demanda mais tempo. Concluiu-se que entre os alunos com Síndrome de Down, a aprendizagem da escrita acontece de forma semelhante a das demais crianças embora seja mais lenta. Assim, para garantir o processo de aprendizagem das crianças com Síndrome de Down sugerem-se adequações nos planos de ensino e no tempo estipulado pelos programas escolares convencionais.
Habilidades Sociais de alunos surdos na perspectiva de professores da classe bilíngue, da classe comum e intérprete
Authors: Casalli Ana Claudia Paviani , Costa Carolina Severino Lopes da
Published: April 2017

Este trabalho objetivou descrever o repertório de habilidades sociais, problemas de comportamento e a competência acadêmica de 15 crianças/adolescentes com surdez, na visão de professores de classe bilíngue, intérprete e de professores de classes comuns. Participaram deste estudo quatro professores e um intérprete, sendo dois de classe comum e dois de classe bilíngue. Utilizou-se como instrumento de coleta de dados, o Sistema de Avaliação de Habilidades Sociais (SSRS-BR). A avaliação dos professores para as três escalas do instrumento – Habilidades Sociais, Problemas de Comportamento e Competência Acadêmica – foi positiva, pois a maioria dos alunos foi classificada com repertórios medianos e altos. Os resultados ainda mostraram-se contrários à hipótese inicial, pois esperava-se que as professoras da classe bilíngue, por atuarem diretamente com os alunos surdos, utilizando a Libras como língua de instrução, pudessem avaliá-los de forma mais positiva, com relação às Habilidades Sociais, Problemas de Comportamento e Competência Acadêmica, quando comparados às avaliações dos professores da classe comum, o que não ocorreu.  Conclui-se que de modo geral os alunos surdos foram avaliados com um repertório mediano de habilidades sociais e competência acadêmica, sendo os professores da classe comum os que fizeram avaliações mais positivas. Sugere-se que pesquisas com a utilização de outras medidas de avaliação sejam realizadas para aprofundar e confirmar os dados obtidos.

Authors: Dias Eliane Maria , Vieira Francileide Batista de Almeida
Published: April 2017

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender como se dá a aprendizagem da leitura e escrita das pessoas cegas, quais os instrumentos e estratégias utilizados e o desafio diante das novas tecnologias. O referencial teórico sobre o assunto baseou-se em Bueno, (1993), Baptista, (2000), Marcuschi (2001), Vygotsky (1983), Sousa (2014), além de outros autores e documentos que abordam a referida temática. Como opção metodológica de pesquisa foi adotada a pesquisa qualitativa, por meio do estudo bibliográfico. Na pesquisa, identificamos a necessidade de ressignificação da valorização do Sistema Braille, e que, mesmo diante do reconhecimento da importância e do avanço das tecnologias da informática, elas não são substitutivas do Braille, mas complementares. Tendo em vista que todos as estratégias e recursos utilizados apresentam limitações em determinadas situações, faz-se necessária a existência de um leque de oportunidades para que as pessoas cegas possam se comunicar, obter informações, tenham acesso ao conhecimento, sejam incluídas na sociedade e exerçam, efetivamente, a cidadania.

A área está inserida entre o embasamento cristalino do Pré-Cambriano e a Bacia Paraíba, mais especificamente na Sub-Bacia Alhandra. Em superfície, a referida área está representada, na sua maior parte, pela Formação Barreiras (Mioceno), que recobre, em partes, a Bacia Paraíba e o embasamento cristalino de forma discordante. Para a análise morfoestrutural e morfotectônica, elaboraram-se cartas de rugosidade do relevo, hipsométrica e de inclinação das pendentes, além de ajuste da carta geológica e aplicação do índice morfométrico Relação Declividade/Extensão, no sentido de averiguar anomalias nos padrões de redes de drenagem, relacionadas à tectônica recente. Os resultados obtidos comprovam que não se pode negar a influência da tectônica pós-miocênica na configuração do relevo em uma borda de uma Margem Continental Passiva.
O TERRITÓRIO EM ROGÉRIO HAESBAERT: CONCEPÇÕES E CONOTAÇÕES
Authors: Fuini Lucas Labigalini
Published: April 2017

Rogério Haesbaert da Costa, geógrafo brasileiro nascido no Rio Grande do Sul, traz em sua carreira acadêmica e em seus escritos uma preocupação central com a categoria território e seus desmembramentos contemporâneos, das des-re-territorializações e as multi e transterritorialidades. Pautado em um referencial teórico eclético, o autor se aproxima, mais recentemente, de uma leitura pós-estruturalista e pós-moderna sobre os processos de dominação e apropriação do espaço. Considerando a popularidade e difusão de sua obra na geografia brasileira e sul-americana, faremos neste artigo uma análise de obras selecionadas do autor sobre o território, trazendo à tona alguns significados e especificidades de seu pensamento.Palavras-chave: Território; Des-re-territorialização; Territorialidades; Rogério Haesbaert.

Biogeografia e Bionomia dos Crustáceos do Litoral Equatorial Brasileiro.
Authors: COELHO Petrônio Alves , RAMOS-PORTO Marilena , KOENING Maria Luise
Published: April 2017

The Brazilian Coast between Amapa and Piaur States is characterized by Itshidrology. This results of several factors: the influence of superficial oceaniccurrents, the discharge of the great equatorial rivers, the upwelling at the edge of continental shelf, etc. There a~ll several bottom types on continental shelf, and their horizontal distribution depends of oceanic and fluvial-terrigenous influences. There are two natural regions, one with sandy and organogenous bottoms, high and stable temperature and salinity, and another with muddy and sandy bottoms, and unstable temperature and salinity. The first natural regions corresponds to the Brazilian Province of the biogeographers, and the second one to Guyanian Province. It is possible to admit 5 faunistic communities of crustaceans inhabiting:1) muddy and sandy-muddy bottoms; 2) sandy bottoms; 3) coastal organogenous bottoms; 4) organogenous bottoms of transition; 5) deep sandy and organogenous bottoms.
