Authors: Jimenez-Baez Maria Valeria , Acuna-Reyes Raquel , Cigarroa-Martínez Didier , Urena-Bogarin Enrique , Orgaz-Fernandez Jose David
Published: December 2019

Objectives: Determine the domain of preventive dentistry in nursing personnel assigned to a primary care unit. Methods: Prospective descriptive study, questionnaire validation, and prevalence study. In the first stage, the questionnaire for the practice of preventive dentistry (CPEP, for the term in Spanish) was validated; consistency and reliability were measured by Cronbach's alpha, Pearson's correlation, factor analysis with intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). In the second stage, the domain in preventive dental nurses was explored. Results: The overall internal consistency of CPEP is α= 0.66, ICC= 0.64, CI95%: 0.29-0.87 (p >0.01). Twenty-one subjects in the study, average age 43, 81.0% female, average seniority of 12.5 were included. A total of 71.5% showed weak domain, 28.5% regular domain, and there was no questionnaire with good domain result. The older the subjects were, the smaller the domain; female nurses showed greater mastery of preventive dentistry (29%, CI95%: 0.1-15.1) than male nurses. Public health nurses showed greater mastery with respect to other categories (50%, CI95%: 0.56-2.8). Conclusions: The CDEP has enough consistency to explore the domain of preventive dentistry in health-care staff. The domain of preventive dentistry in primary care nursing is poor, required to strengthen to provide education in preventive dentistry to the insured population.

Authors: Montoya Julio Cesar , Fajardo Dianora , Peña Ángela , Sánchez Adalberto , Domínguez Martha C , Satizábal José María , Garcia Vallejo Felipe
Published: December 2019

Background: The information on gene expression obtained from databases has made possible the extraction and analysis of data related to several molecular processes involving not only brain homeostasis but its disruption in some neuropathologies, principally in Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.

Objective: To correlate the transcription levels of 19 genes located in the Down Syndrome Critical Region (DSCR) with their expression in several substructures of the normal human brain.
Methods: There were obtained expression profiles of 19 DSCR genes in 42 brain substructures from gene expression values available in the database of the human brain of the Brain Atlas of the Allen Institute for Brain Sciences" (http://human.brain-map.org/). The co-expression patterns of DSCR genes in the brain were calculated using multivariate statistical methods.
Results: The highest levels of gene expression were registered at the caudate nucleus, nucleus accumbens, and putamen among central areas of the cerebral cortex. Increased expression levels of RCAN1 that are encoded by a protein involved in the signal transduction process of the CNS were recorded for PCP4, which participates in the binding to calmodulin, and TTC3, a protein that is associated with the differentiation of neurons. Previously identified brain structures play a crucial role in the learning process, in different classes of memory and in motor skills.
Conclusion: The precise regulation of DSCR gene expression is crucial to maintain the brain homeostasis, especially in those areas with high levels of gene expression associated with a remarkable process of learning and cognition.
Roszczenie o przejęcie zarządu przez właściciela budynku pozostającego w zarządzie gminy
Authors: Antoniuk Jarosław R.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the problem of enforced taking over by the owner of a building the administration of the property which so far has been managed by the commune. Firstly, the author discusses the legal regulations binding in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, which caused numerous properties, particularly public buildings, to remain in the possession of communes. To assess the legal relation between the commune and property’s owners, which are currently of civil legal nature, the author suggests that the provisions of Articles 752–757 of the Polish Civil Code, which concern the management of another person’s affairs without mandate (negotiorum gestio), should be applied. To put an end to conflicts over the administration between the owners of buildings and communes, the author indicates substantive legal claim of taking over the management by the building owner, granted to the commune by the legislator. The author considers under what procedure it should be recognized and presents the local and material jurisdiction, as well as the passive mandate in civil proceedings.
Wygaśnięcie roszczenia jako następstwo braku zgłoszenia wierzytelności w słowackim prawie restrukturyzacyjnym
Authors: Adamus Rafał
Published: December 2019

This study is devoted to the analysis of Slovak restructuring law limited to the interpretation of § 120 sec. 1 ZoKR, which introduces a very interesting legal structure. It is not permissible to recover from the debtor – after initiation of Slovak restructuring proceedings –claims arising before the initiation of the proceedings in the other way than in restructuring proceedings. Upon completing the restructuring proceedings and approving the restructuring plan, the regulations preclude the pursuit of claims from the debtor by those creditors who did not submit their claims in the restructuring proceedings, because the debtor’s obligation becomes incomplete. Used in § 120 sec. 1 ZoKR, the term “disappearing” means the material effect of the expiry of the claim. The situation described in § 120 para. 1 ZoKR, however, has no res iudicata qualities. The expiry of the inactive creditor’s claim under § 120 sec. 1 ZoKR does not mean the inadmissibility of conducting civil proceedings in general (it is not an absolute, negative procedural premise).
Сюжетно-типологические особенности сказания «Богдо Чаңгар хан» в традиции тувинцев и эпоса «Джангар» в национальных версиях калмыков России и ойратов Синьцзяна
Authors: Селеева Цаган Бадмаевна
Published: November 2019

В статье рассматривается сказание «Богдо Чаңгар хан», бытовавшее в тувинской эпической традиции, с точки зрения установления сюжетно-типологических параллелей с эпосом «Джангар» калмыцкой и синьцзян-ойратской версий.Сказание о Джангаре, созданное и сформированное в тувинской эпической традиции, в поэтической структуре сохранило черты своей древней самобытной культуры, черты патриархального уклада и родо-племенной идеологии, жанрового синкретизма героического эпоса и волшебно-героической сказки, сказочно-мифологического пласта, восходящего к архаическим сказаниям тюрко-монгольских народов Сибири. Вместе с тем обнаруживаются типологические схождения с калмыцким и синьцзян-ойратским «Джангаром» на уровне тем и сюжетов, мотивов и образов, циклической организации.Выявлено, что распространение и бытование сказания о Джангаре в традиции тувинцев было связано с развитым культом эпического героя Джангара и обусловлено древнейшими историко-культурными и этническими связями с ойратами, особенно сильным влияние было в период существования Джунгарского ханства.
Descriptors for Electron and Hole Charge Carriers in Metal Oxides
Authors: Davies Daniel , Savory Christopher , Frost Jarvist Moore , Scanlon David , Morgan Benjamin , Walsh Aron
Published: December 2019

Metal oxides can act as insulators, semiconductors or metals depending on their chemical composition and crystal structure. Metal oxide semiconductors, which support equilibrium populations of electron and hole charge carriers, have widespread applications including batteries, solar cells, and display technologies. It is often difficult to predict in advance whether these materials will exhibit localized or delocalized charge carriers upon oxidation or reduction. We combine data from first-principles calculations of the electronic structure and dielectric response of 214 metal oxides to predict the energetic driving force for carrier localization and transport. We assess descriptors based on the carrier effective mass, static polaron binding energy, and Frohlich electron–phonon coupling. Numerical analysis allows us to assign p and n type transport of a metal oxide to three classes: (i) band transport with high mobility; (ii) small polaron transport with low mobility; and (iii) intermediate behaviour. The results of this classification agree with observations regarding carrier dynamics and lifetimes and are used to predict 10 candidate p-type oxides.
Toward an Optical and Electrochemical Method for Marijuana Detection: A Simple Electrochemical Oxidation of Δ9-THC
Authors: Darzi Evan , Garg Neil
Published: December 2019

Marijuana has long remained one of the most commonly used illicit drugs in the United States and other countries. Recently, it has been estimated that 55 million Americans use this psychoactive drug, with growing usage being attributed to the legalization of marijuana in several states. A concerning implication of increased marijuana use is the alarming number of individuals who report driving under the influence of the drug. It is estimated that nearly 12 million people in the US alone have driven a vehicle while being under the influence of marijuana. To counterbalance the growing use of marijuana and potential associated dangers, it is imperative to develop detection technologies for marijuana usage. An electrochemical-based detection technology, akin to the alcohol breathalyzer, would provide an attractive solution to this growing societal problem. The first step toward this goal is to develop a fundamental reaction that converts tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive substance in marijuana, to a derivative with diagnostic spectroscopic changes. We report the development of a mild electrochemical method for the oxidation of THC to its corresponding p-quinone isomer. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the resultant quinone show a dramatic shift in comparison to THC. This exceedingly simple protocol provides a foundational step toward the development of an electrochemical-based marijuana breathalyzer.

Technical Mechanics being a complex of fundamental general technical disciplines is the theoretical and scientific basis for the study and development of modern engineering. Using its laws and principles buildings, constructions, machines and equipment can be developed and researched. However, Technical Mechanics is the most difficult discipline to learn. The main difficulties of this course are based not only on the application of the principles of theoretical mechanics to complex mechanisms of different types but also the course stands out with its specific and particular features and also based on previously unknown terminology for students as well as is an introduction to the Mechanics of Machines in general. Difficulties in the acquisition of learning content are also caused by time constraints devoted to the study of this subject in higher technical educational institutions. Consequently, teaching Mechanical Engineering in today's context requires a widespread involvement of computer technologies into educational processes that meets the requirements of intensification of students’ individual study and diversifies forms and means of learning, motivates students and optimizes their learning process. The problem of the research is to identify the possibilities of intensifying the process of teaching Technical Mechanics which is a fundamental discipline for other special courses in Technical Institutes using computer training software GIM. The article justifies the feasibility of using GIM software during Technical Mechanics course by students of engineering and technical higher education institutions. GIM software is used during practical classes to support and supplement theoretical lectures; GIM functions as an educational supplementary tool to enhance students' knowledge. Training of first and second year students of general engineering disciplines based on GIM computer training program enhances the professional culture of the future specialist, stimulating his need for continuous self-improvement. New educational technologies are an effective method of teaching students and help better understanding of the subject, promotion and spreading of scientific knowledge

"Die Blockchain ist den Weg aus der technischen Obskuranz über eine weitgehend abgeklungene Phase der utopisch-mystifizierenden Begeisterung hin zu etablierten Branchenlösungen gegangen. Blockchain basierte Kryptowährungen sind längst anerkannte und langsam auch institutionell genutzte Zahlungsmittel. Trotzdem scheinen sich Blockchain-Lösungen immer noch eher über ein Versprechen zu verkaufen, das ein soziales Bedürfnis – das des Vertrauens innerhalb von Systemen – befriedigen will. Ein Blick auf die Technizitäten der Blockchain jedoch erlaubt Einsichten in die Möglichkeit solcher technosozialer Versprechen und ihrer (Nicht-) Einlösbarkeit.
Blockchain has found its way out of technical obscurity via a largely faded phase of utopian-mystifying enthusiasm to established industry solutions. Blockchain-based crypto currencies have long been accepted as a means of payment and are tentatively being used institutionally as well. Nevertheless, Block- chain solutions still seem to sell a promise that seeks to satisfy a social need—that of trust within systems. A glance at the technicalities of Blockchain, however, allows insights into the possibility of such techno-social promises and their (non-)redeemability."

Authors: Baines Simon , Wrubell Shaun , Kennedy Jessica , Bohn Courtney , Richards Cassie
Published: December 2019

In recent years, private companies in the United States have increasingly entered into power purchase agreements (PPAs) to procure renewable power from project developers. However, despite favourable market and regulatory regimes for the use of PPAs in Alberta, renewable energy procurement has largely remained the purview of government.

To facilitate the increased use of private PPAs in Canada, this article seeks to provide potential renewable energy project developers and customers with a better understanding of how these agreements operate. The authors “demystify” PPAs by reviewing the regulatory structures for PPAs in Alberta, analyzing the factors that might motivate parties to enter into a PPA, and discussing the key contractual terms common to most PPAs.

Phronesis leadership is the extraction of Aristotle's philosophy which involves judgment from the individual leader in determining the good value of reality. This article aims to analyze leadership practice in developing countries, qualitatively using 6 criteria of Nonaka's et al (2018) frameworks. The purpose of this article is to find out how Azwar Anas's phronesis leadership in Banyuwangi, Indonesia, can produce service innovations such as the "Lahir Procot Pulang Bawa Akta" program and Banyuwangi Ethno Carnival (BEC) and observe the dynamic process that arises. The results of this study indicate that Azwar Anas succeeded in expressing 'common good' by understanding reality and using his political abilities to influence the organization and its population, creating 'Ba', and articulating the desirable future.
Competence Based Learning Implementation for Public Administration Student Programs to Improve Competency in Facing Industrial Era 4.0
Authors: Maharani Dewi
Published: December 2019

In line with the development of the industrial era 4.0, learning should be able to produce students who are not only capable of material content, but must also have soft skills to support skills or competencies for students. Today the need for the world of work can not only rely on muscle, but the ability of the brain to be something that is a fundamental need. Competencies applied to learning are in accordance with 21st century competencies, namely the ability to communicate, collaborate, think critically and problem solving, and have creativity and innovation. The method used is descriptive qualitative research sources are primary and secondary. Data processing techniques are carried out through four stages namely data reduction, data presentation, comparative analysis, and drawing conclusions. Data collection methods used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the application of competency-based learning with communication competencies was inadequate, collaborative competencies were adequate, critical thinking and problem solving were inadequate, and creative and innovative competencies were inadequate. The implication of this research is that students must further improve their communication skills both through oral and written, increase critical power and always think solutively in solving problems, and always try to innovate to explore creativity in each individual.
Representações da tortura: o fazer literário como espaço de remissão
Authors: Oliveira Cleber José De
Published: December 2019

Os romances Em câmara lenta (1977), de Renato Tapajós, Batismo de Sangue (1982), de Frei Betto, Volto semana que vem (2015), de Maria Pila, e Ainda estou aqui (2015), de Marcelo Rubens Paiva, são compreendidos aqui, sobretudo, como representações denunciativas do modus operandi e das práticas de tortura promovidas por agentes da Ditadura Militar instaurada no Brasil (1964-1985). Nesse sentido, discuto aqui a hipótese central, a saber: ao escreverem sobre memórias tão dolorosas, os referidos autores configuraram o fazer literário num espaço de remissão, mas não de esquecimento, para si e para seus leitores. Já que, sem exceção, suas narrativas apresentam um caráter verossímil que entrelaçam suas vidas aos contextos de repressão e violência física e psicológica, aos quais foram submetidos. Para tanto, traçou-se um panorama analítico-comparativo entre os relatos colhidos pela Comissão Nacional da Verdade, e publicados em seu relatório fi nal em 2015, e trechos dos referidos romances cujo foco se dá na descrição dos atos de tortura de suas personagens. Os resultados apontaram que as tais obras se configuraram como espaços de dor, de denúncia, de resistência e, sobretudo, de remissão, para seus autores e leitores.
“Que estas páginas simbolizem uma passeata de rapazes e moças": sobre crônicas clariceanas produzidas no período da ditadura militar no Brasil
Authors: Alves Joyce
Published: December 2019

Este artigo traz uma abordagem em torno de algumas crônicas publicadas por Clarice Lispector no Jornal do Brasil, entre 1967 e 1973, tendo em vista o fato de que foram produzidas no período da ditadura militar no Brasil. Os textos fazem parte da coletânea A descoberta do mundo (1981), que reúne aproximadamente quatrocentas crônicas publicadas pela autora no período acima mencionado. Nesta mesma época, o cenário político do país foi marcado pelo regime militar e a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, onde a escritora morou até o ano de sua morte em 1977, foi palco de significativas transformações nas esferas políticas e culturais. A partir deste contexto, Clarice Lispector escreveu suas crônicas lançando mão de uma apuradíssima percepção e evidente consternação em face da situação do país e, ao mesmo tempo, impulsionada pelo que chamo de parresía literária (ALVES, 2017). Aproveitando as palavras de Silviano Santiago (2014), o ativismo coletivo de Clarice Lispector “robustece a arte pelo avesso, liberando-a do compromisso que a literatura brasileira tradicional mantém com o acontecimento sócio histórico”.
Entre a vontade de esquecer e a necessidade de lembrar: as memórias de Flávio Tavares
Authors: Vilarba Flavieli Arguelho , Bungart Neto Paulo
Published: December 2019

O artigo tem como corpus principal as memórias do jornalista Flávio Tavares, intituladas Memórias do esquecimento (1999), nas quais o autor relembra os momentos em que foi preso por ter participado da resistência ao regime militar no Brasil. A abordagem metodológica foi essencialmente bibliográfi ca e o objetivo geral foi o de compreender as memórias de Tavares do ponto de vista da denúncia das torturas sofridas durante a ditadura militar brasileira, como exemplo da literatura testemunhal contemporânea. Tendo sido incluído na lista de quinze prisioneiros políticos libertados em troca do embaixador norte-americano Charles Burke Elbrick em 1969, o relato alterna, na sequência dos capítulos, cenas relativas à sua prisão, às mortes de companheiros da guerrilha e às sessões de tortura nos porões da ditadura, com o exílio no México após sua libertação. Além de suas memórias, a análise traz a leitura de outros dois volumes de reminiscências políticas do escritor: O dia em que Getúlio matou Allende e outras novelas do poder (2004); e 1961 – O golpe derrotado: Luzes e sombras do Movimento da Legalidade (2011). A abordagem tem como aporte teórico os conceitos de Lejeune (2008), bem como a discussão daquilo que se convencionou chamar de “literatura do trauma” (SELIGMANN-SILVA, 2003).
A saga das "vidas nuas" em O mundo à solta, de Felipe Fortuna: um estado de exceção permanente
Authors: Cordeiro Luzimara De Souza , Sandrini Elizabete Gerlânia Caron
Published: December 2019

O propósito deste trabalho é empreender a análise de alguns poemas de O mundo à solta, de Felipe Fortuna, evidenciando refl exões sociais neles implicadas, por meio da saga das “vidas nuas” (AGAMBEM, 2010), aquelas que vivem em estado de exceção permanente. Uma situação de indivíduos em constante status de exclusão, que sobrevivem na fronteira entre o humano e o não-humano, e têm as suas existências suspensas de direitos fundamentais. Assim, a abordagem de três poemas – “A fome fica”, “Morrer na rua” e “Os meus respeitos” – evidenciará a realidade de muitos oprimidos, de cidadãos que vivem em constante abandono, à margem do socius. Para tanto, os ensinamentos do fi lósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben (2010), sobre o homo sacer, o poder soberano e a vida nua, serão entrelaçados aos versos do poeta carioca para fundamentação teórica do texto.

Modeling of the low heat conductive low-porous capillary porous coatings and metal (copper, stainless steel) surfaces (base layer) was studied. Heat and mass transfer in the porous coatings moved with excessive liquid due to the combined action of capillary and mass forces. The dynamics of vapor bubble was described along with their heat-dynamic properties, which were observed by the optic research methods. Finding solution for the thermoelasticity allowed to reveal the influence of the specific heat flow and heat tension of compression and stretching depending on time of supply and sizes of pulled particles at the time of the system limit state as to "porous coating - base layer". The theory was confirmed by the trial, which was observed by camcorder SKS-1М.
Development of the wave method of calculation operational parameters of a double-circuit power transmission line with known values of output voltages and currents at the end of the line

Electrical energy from the place of its generation is transmitted to consumers of various capacities. The distance from the source of electrical energy to the consumer can vary from several meters to several thousand kilometers. In this regard, the accurate determination of the operating parameters of the power transmission line (PTL) is a mandatory and necessary condition for the PTL normal functioning. In the current-carrying parts of the double-circuit PTL there are six incident and six reflected waves of the electromagnetic field. They determine voltages and currents. A scheme is proposed for the distribution of these waves along linear wires of a homogeneous section of a double-circuit PTL. This scheme shows that the current-carrying parts of the adjacent wires have a significant impact on voltages and currents in one wire. This scheme illustrates the distribution of the amplitude values of electromagnetic field waves, defined as the integration constant. Using the integration constants, the propagation constants of electromagnetic waves along the linear wires of the PTL and the corresponding wave impedances, one can obtain the amplitude values of the incident and reflected waves at any point of the double- circuit PTL, and hence the currents and voltages in the double-circuit PTL. The article presents a method for determining the currents and voltages in a double-circuit PTL according to the load. The proposed method will allow determining the qualitative and quantitative indicators of electrical energy (induced voltage) appearing from each wire separately and provide the possibility of their elimination, which will improve the quality of electrical energy.
