Abstract

This paper discusses the results of an action-research experience, performed at an elementary school, aiming at the reduction of conflicts in the school. The main focus of the paper was the process of building and defining of the school rules, which involved students, parents, teachers, staff and the school administration. We also discuss results of the meetings held exclusively with the teachers before the beginning of this process. The research material records of meetings with the teachers, interviews, and field diary was analyzed using interpretative procedures. The most significant result of the process of building of rules is that it creates a space for dialogue among the different segments of the school, assuring to all the liberty to have an opinion and advocate their own ideas.

Keywords: dialogue; citizenship education; construction of rules.

Da Percepção Estética da Natureza à Acção – Uma Pedagogia Ambiental
Authors: Varandas Maria José
Published: September 2019

Afirmando que a problemática ambiental impõe um novo paradigma ético que realize a unidade das faculdades (sensibilidade, entendimento e razão prática) na unidade da acção, este artigo defende uma pedagogia centrada no estímulo da sensibilidade ao belo natural em articulação com o sentimento moral, como via privilegiada de enfrentamento da crise ecológica contemporânea. Na transição para uma dimensão inclusiva e planetária do conceito de cidadania, em tanto que expressão de um agir responsável e comprometido no colectivo em que é, a educação ambiental impõe-se como protagonista fundamental na formação de cidadãos capazes de pensar e agir ambientalmente.

Authors: Ean Nil , Pollack Amie Alley , Ngoc Do Khanh
Published: September 2019

Globally, approximately 10% - 20% of children and adolescents experience mental health problems and the majority of them are living in low- and middle-income countries. Children of female sex workers are often exposed to unsafe environments, traumatic experiences and a mentally ill parent, putting them at risk for developing mental health problems themselves. Research on the mental health and functioning of children of female sex workers during their school age is limited. This paper will explore the mental health and functioning of female sex workers’ children. Method: The study included 160 female entertainment workers (FEWs) and 60 of their children from four provinces of Cambodia. FEW’s mental health, and children’s mental health and functioning were measured. Result: FEWs demonstrated high rates of depression (67%) and anxiety (61%), and 54.38% reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Of the 60 children, the majority got their education at primary school (68%) and secondary school (25%). 46.7% of them reported symptoms of functional impairment, 18.33% suffered from psychological distress, and 36.67% have PTSD symptoms above the clinical threshold. Children’s psychological distress was significantly predicted by mothers’ early childhood traumatic experiences, mothers’ current mental health problems, mothers’ anxiety and PTSD. Mother’s PTSD predicted children’s psychological distress [β = 0.282, R2  = 0.079] and functioning [β = 0.285, R2  = 0.081]. Conclusion: School age children of FEWs have high rates of depression, anxiety and PTSD. Children’s psychological problems impair their functioning at school and home. FEW’s PTSD predicts their children’s psychological distress and functioning. Further research on the mental health and functioning of FEW’s children should be continued with a larger sample size. Mental health professionals and educators should provide mental health care for FEWs and their children, and develop evidence-based approaches to improving children’s mental health and functioning

Efficacy of new generation insecticides for the management of shoot borer (Conogethes punctiferalis Guen.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)
Authors: S Devasahayam C M Senthil Kumar, T K Jacob,
Published: September 2019

The efficacy of nine insecticides and a natural product was evaluated in the field at Peruvannamuzhi (Kerala) for the management of shoot borer (Conogethes punctiferalis), a major insect pest on turmeric (Curcuma longa). Pooled analysis of data for two years showed that chlorantraniliprole 0.01% treatment had the lowest mean pseudostem damage (0.3%) that was on par with lambda-cyhalothrin 0.01% (1.0%) and flubendiamide 0.02% (1.8%), when these insecticides were sprayed at fortnightly intervals from the second fortnight of July to the first fortnight of November. Fresh rhizome yield was highest in plots treated with lambda-cyhalothrin 0.01% (9.7 kg bed-1) that was on par with flubendiamide 0.02% (9.5 kg bed-1), chlorantraniliprole 0.01% (9.0 kg bed-1) and spinosad (9.0 kg bed-1). The trials indicated that reduced-risk/low-toxic insecticides such as chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide can be utilized for the management of the pest with less hazard to the environment.

Published: September 2019

Para uma pecuária de corte com melhor desempenho e produtos de qualidade, são imprescindíveis maiores estudos da nutrição e alimentação animal, uma vez que estes constituem peças chave para qualquer sistema de produção. Assim, vários indicadores foram propostos ao longo dos anos para se avaliar a eficiência alimentar e uma deles é o consumo alimentar residual, o qual é uma medida de diferença no consumo além ou aquém do necessário para atender as exigências de manutenção e crescimento. Esta revisão tem por objetivo mostrar a relação entre consumo alimentar residual (CAR) e perfil metabólico para bovinos, uma vez que existem diferenças de CAR entre os animais e estes estão diretamente relacionados às exigências de mantença, transporte de íons, resposta ao estresse, metabolismo dos tecidos e incremento calórico. O uso dos perfis metabólicos como indicador para avaliar o grau de adequação fisiológica dos animais às principais vias metabólicas relacionadas com energia, proteína e minerais, tem auxiliado bastante a evidenciar problemas metabólicos que antes poderiam passar despercebidamente. Dessa forma, o uso de indicadores bioquímicos para determinação dos níveis ideais de nutrientes surge como uma alternativa para identificar problemas em potencial antes que eles venham expressar queda na produção. O estudo sobre as alterações metabólicas dos animais de diferentes CAR e o real impacto fisiológico sobre esta medida, poderá levar a descoberta de alternativas economicamente viáveis para a otimização da produção de bovinos de corte, que além de trazer ganhos econômicos, trará também ganhos ambientais.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: desempenho, eficiência alimentar, metabolismo

Foram utilizadas tilápias do Nilo com peso médio inicial de 21±0,4g; os peixes que receberam ração com  inclusão de 0,025% do complexo enzimático apresentaram as menores taxas de excreção de amônia. Recomendando a suplementação com complexo enzimático por influenciar positivamente nos índices produtivos e, ao nível de 0,025% reduzir a excreção de amônia.
Atom Condensed Fukui Function for Condensed Phases and Biological Systems and Its Application to Enzymatic Fixation of Carbon Dioxide
Authors: Oller Javier , Sáez David A. , Vöhringer-Martinez Esteban
Published: September 2019

Local reactivity descriptors such as atom condensed Fukui functions are promising computational tools to study chemical reactivity at specific sites within a molecule. Their applications have been mainly focused on isolated molecules in their most stable conformation without considering the effects of the surroundings. Here, we propose to combine QM/MM Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations to obtain the microstates (configurations) of a molecular system using different representations of the molecular environment and calculate Boltzmann weighted atom condensed local reac- tivity descriptors based on conceptual DFT. Our approach takes the conformational fluctuations of the molecular system and the polarization of its electron density by the environment into account allowing us to analyze the effect of changes in the molecular environment on reactivity. In this contribution, we apply the method mentioned above to the catalytic fixation of carbon dioxide by crotonyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase and study if the enzyme alters the reactivity of its substrate compared to an aqueous solution. Our main result is that the protein en- vironment activates the substrate by the elimination of solute-solvent hydrogen bonds from aqueous solution in the two elementary steps of the reaction mechanism: the nucleophilic attack of a hydride anion from NADPH on the α, β unsaturated thioester and the electrophilic attack of carbon dioxide on the formed enolate species.
Improving the Accuracy of Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction by Deep Learning Models: Benchmark and Model
Authors: Rezaei Mohammad , Li Yanjun , Li Xiaolin , Li Chenglong
Published: September 2019

Introduction: The ability to discriminate among ligands binding to the same protein target in terms of their relative binding affinity lies at the heart of structure-based drug design. Any improvement in the accuracy and reliability of binding affinity prediction methods decreases the discrepancy between experimental and computational results.

Objectives: The primary objectives were to find the most relevant features affecting binding affinity prediction, least use of manual feature engineering, and improving the reliability of binding affinity prediction using efficient deep learning models by tuning the model hyperparameters.

Methods: The binding site of target proteins was represented as a grid box around their bound ligand. Both binary and distance-dependent occupancies were examined for how an atom affects its neighbor voxels in this grid. A combination of different features including ANOLEA, ligand elements, and Arpeggio atom types were used to represent the input. An efficient convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, DeepAtom, was developed, trained and tested on the PDBbind v2016 dataset. Additionally an extended benchmark dataset was compiled to train and evaluate the models.

Results: The best DeepAtom model showed an improved accuracy in the binding affinity prediction on PDBbind core subset (Pearson’s R=0.83) and is better than the recent state-of-the-art models in this field. In addition when the DeepAtom model was trained on our proposed benchmark dataset, it yields higher correlation compared to the baseline which confirms the value of our model.

Conclusions: The promising results for the predicted binding affinities is expected to pave the way for embedding deep learning models in virtual screening and rational drug design fields.
Homopolymer Self-Assembly via Poly(propylene Sulfone) Networks
Authors: Du Fanfan , Qiao Baofu , Bobbala Sharan , yi sijia , Olvera de la Cruz Monica , Scott Evan
Published: September 2019

Natural molecules such as peptides and DNA organize dynamically into hierarchical structures with diverse morphologies and sizes. The ability to mimic this self-assembly behavior in synthetic materials has remained an elusive goal. We report on poly(propylene sulfone), a synthetic homopolymer that self-assembles into nanoscale hydrogels of various morphologies including spherical, vesicular, and cylindrical in aqueous solution. Experiments and simulations demonstrate that while the polymer chains are roughly extended and minimally aggregated in DMSO, the addition of water overcomes the steric limitations imposed by the sulfones and induces formation of molecular networks through sulfone-sulfone bonding. Networks collapse and reorganize into distinct morphologies upon hydration, endowing an exceptional capability for capturing organic molecules. This simple system presents a robust platform for controlling nanofabrication.
Mercury Sorbents Made by Inverse Vulcanization of Sustainable Triglycerides: The Plant Oil Structure Influences the Rate of Mercury Removal from Water
Authors: Tikoalu Alfrets , Lundquist Nicholas , Chalker Justin
Published: September 2019

High sulfur content polymers were prepared through the copolymerization of sustainable triglycerides and sulfur. The products of the so-called “inverse vulcanization” contain 50% sulfur by mass and were evaluated in the removal of inorganic and alkylmercury compounds from water. The structurally distinct triglycerides found in canola oil, castor oil, and rice bran oil were all examined as co-monomers in the inverse vulcanization reaction to determine how each influences the rate and capacity of mercury uptake. It was found that the high percentage of hydroxylated ricinoleic acid in castor oil improves both wetting and the rate of uptake of mercury(II) chloride into the polymer, in comparison to the polymers made from canola oil and rice bran oil. For the castor oil, the initial rate of uptake of mercury(II) chloride was more than three times the initial rate of uptake of the canola oil polymer, with a mercury removal efficiency exceeding 99.99%. The affinity of the castor oil polymer for HgCl2 was also excellent, with a distribution coefficient (Kd) on the order of 106 mL/g. In contrast, the polymer made from the inverse vulcanization of canola oil and sulfur had an initial rate of uptake more the twice the rate of the castor oil copolymer in experiments involving sorption of the mercury-based fungicide 2-methoxyethylmercury chloride (MEMC). In addition to kinetics, sorption isotherms were obtained for all polymer sorbents and fit to both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. In terms of sustainability, this work advances the use renewable monomers such as triglycerides sourced from plants and inexpensive industrial byproducts such as sulfur to make affordable mercury-binding materials.
Arene Dearomatization via Radical Hydroarylation
Authors: Flynn Autumn , McDaniel Kelly , Hughes Meredith , Vogt David , Jui Nathan
Published: September 2019

A photocatalytic system for the dearomative hydroarylation of benzene derivatives has been developed. Using a combination of an organic photoredox catalyst and an amine reductant, this process operates through a reductive radical-polar crossover mechanism where aryl halide reduction triggers a regioselective cyclization event, giving rise to a range of complex spirocyclic cyclohexadienes. This light-driven protocol functions at room temperature in a green solvent system (aq. MeCN), without the need for precious metal-based catalysts or reagents, or the generation of stoichiometric metal byproducts.

Examining the Kinships System of the Bodo
Authors: Singh Dr. Oinam Ranjit , Bargayary Dr. Nushar
Published: September 2019

The Bodo of the North Eastern region of India have their own kinship system to maintain social relationship since ancient periods. Kinship is the expression of social relationship. Kinship may be defined as connection or relationships between persons based on marriage or blood. In each and every society of the world, social relationship is considered to be the more important than the biological bond. The relationship is not socially recognized, it fall outside the realm of kinship. Since kinship is considered as universal, it plays a vital role in the socialization of individuals and the maintenance of social cohesion of the group. Thus, kinship is considered to be the study of the sum total of these relations. The kinship of the Bodo is bilateral. The kin related through the father is known as Bahagi in Bodo whereas the kin to the mother is called Kurma. The nature of social relationships, the kinship terms, kinship behaviours and prescriptive and proscriptive rules are the important themes of the present study.

Nuclear Weapons, South Asia and Morality
Authors: CHOUDHARY ABHISHEK
Published: September 2019

The paper analyses the concerns arising from a moral perspective in the context of a renewed arms race in South Asia. It challenges the idea that possession of nuclear power could in any way contribute to any sort of balance. The emulation of so-called great powers and expecting that balance would arrive as it did in the case of the US and the erstwhile-USSR during cold war is detrimental to the temporal and spatial uniqueness of South Asia. Deterrence, based on rational choice theory, does not apply to the South Asian context due to ambiguity owing to mutual mistrust especially in the case of India and Pakistan. Also, it no longer only sates that are sole actors in the international arena. One cannot expect the non-state actors to behave in a rational manner. Furthermore, the idea of ‘credible minimum deterrence’ itself is questionable as it is a flexible posture adjusted to relative prowess and ambiguity in policy further aggravates the situation. The paper argues from a consequentialist notion of ethics and argues that the principles of harm and equity ought be part of nuclear decision-making. Another aspect that the paper uncovers relates to the ‘reification’ of nuclear power. Using a neo-Marxist framework and concept of Lukács, the paper argues that it is no longer the state as a repository of power that decides the trajectory of nuclear development. Rather the nuclear technology has started to dictate the way states are looking at regional and international relations. This inverted relationship has been created due to neglect of any ethical toolkit. The paper thus proposes an ethical toolkit that focuses on the negative duties of not to harm and also the positive duties to create conditions that would avoid harm being done to people.

Corporate Social Responsibility in Tourism Sector: A Review of Literature
Authors: Vikash
Published: September 2019

The fact is that in the last decade India has seen a very significant growth in the tourism and hospitality sector. Likewise Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) related articles have been written and published in the recent years on a large scale. This paper explores how CSR has developed within the extant literature. This emerging research on CSR in the context of tourism and hospitality is pushing past the boundaries of early approaches to corporate sustainability by providing empirical evidence is to support the importance of integrating a range of stakeholder perspectives and needs throughout the planning, implementation, and evaluation of CSR initiatives. Moreover, we observe that while there is ample research on certain stakeholder groups such as management, employees, shareholders, and consumers, there is less emphasis on the role of communities and ecosystems as stakeholders and very little related to suppliers, NGOs, and government. Although tourism and hospitality firms may not be subject to the same pressures as other industries, there remain important opportunities to both document and engage these external stakeholders in the journey towards sustainability for a long time in the country.

Authors: Thomas Dr. Bejoy John , Jenifer Ms. S. Clemence
Published: September 2019

This paper discusses the concept of employer branding in detail taking into account the corporate branding, product branding and employee branding. It also figure outs the difference between the differences between employer branding and product branding. There is a growing interest on this topic by academics, as well as practitioners, translated in a recent increase in the number of academic papers on Employer Brand in HR literature. Employer brand and corporate brand are not entirely the same, but they do need to work in tandem. They both need to be strongly intertwined in purpose and meaning to emotionally and authentically connect with their critical stakeholders and capture their attention with conviction. When this happens, the stage is set for co-creation of great promises and sustained realization.
Nund Rishi and Rishism: Exploring Rishi-Sufi Shruks
Authors: Kour Amandeep
Published: September 2019

This paper aims to explore the shruks of Nund Rishi under the framework of mysticism. Sheikh Noor-ud-din, a moral guide and a reformist, popularly known as Nund Rishi is one of the greatest litterateurs who hailed from medieval Kashmir. Nund Rishi is remembered for his shruks that reflect his wisdom of Islam which he shared with the natives in the vernacular. In Kashmir, where differences are valorized, his shruks corresponds to interfaith dialogue surpassing all religions through the doctrine of Islamic mysticism. He erected the edifice of Rishism by preaching monotheism in a caste ridden society on the pedestals of the mission launched by Lal Ded. Shruks are a priceless possession and a legacy for the posterity. Also, the paper addresses how the narrative of the shruks is of importance in the contemporary Kashmir and promotes Kashmiriyat; the essence of being a Kashmiri.
Treaty-Making in the Pacific in the Nineteenth Century and the Treaty of Waitangi
Authors: Bennion Tom
Published: September 2019

This paper discusses the history of treaty-making between Pacific island nations and European powers during the nineteenth century in order to assess the validity of the Treaty of Waitangi at international law. The author also draws some brief comparisons with treaty-making in Africa. The particular focus of the paper is an assessment of how the colonial powers would have viewed a document such as the Treaty. The conclusion of the paper is that the signatories would have presumed that the Treaty would have serious effect, and would be binding in international law.Editor’s note: This paper was originally written in 1987 as part of the Administrative Law LLM course at Victoria University of Wellington. After it was recently cited with approval in Sir Kenneth Keith's article "Public Law in New Zealand" (2003) 1 New Zealand Journal of Public and International Law 3, it transpired that access to the paper was very limited. Despite its age, and the fact that much scholarship has been done in the intervening time, on the Treaty in particular, the material is still of considerable interest. Some changes have been made to the original text to cater for the passage of time.

Published: September 2019

A ten-year integrated solid waste management plan was established for the University of the Philippines Los Baños which complies with the provisions of RA 9003. An end-of-pipe Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS) was performed to identify the classification of wastes in UPLB. Waste generation was found to be 593.67 kg/day on the average and is expected to increase by 2% per year which is 709.49 kg/day on the year 2027. The waste composition by weight of the non-biodegradable wastes are as follows: plastic (55.68%); paper (35.77%); glass bottles (5.22%); metal (2.77%); and residuals (0.55%). A large portion of the wastes, which is 99.45% by weight, are recyclables.  The loose density of wastes is 131.93 kg/ m3. Feasible collection points were assigned to improve efficiency of the collection of wastes in the university. Building units inside the campus were clustered and was assigned to dispose wastes to a single temporary storage facility per cluster. There are 181 units of 240-L garbage bin needed for the 39 clusters in UPLB. Two sets of dimensions of a proposed temporary storage facility were provided for the temporary storage facility; 5 2 2.2 m and 3.5 2 2.2 m. Conceptual design and structural plans of the materials recovery facility were provided. Mass balance was performed, and the theoretical diversion efficiency of the materials recovery facility is 99.445%.

Published: September 2019

Mediante os avanços tecnológicos, a globalização do mercado e a demanda por produção com menores custos, as organizações atuais visam a uma maior produtividade, requerendo equipamentos com alta confiabilidade e disponibilidade. Surge, então, a necessidade de maximizar o tempo em operação da planta industrial, de modo a garantir maior produção. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma análise de falhas de equipamentos utilizados no setor de moagem de cana-de-açúcar de uma usina sucroalcooleira. O método de pesquisa aplicado consistiu no estudo de caso. Para as análises, foi realizada a coleta de tempos até a falha dos equipamentos e, para a modelagem dos dados, utilizou-se o software ProConf. A modelagem da confiabilidade e da taxa de falhas dos equipamentos foi feita de modo a identificar a fase de vida destes. A distribuição que melhor se ajusta aos tempos é a Weibull. Foi possível gerar os gráficos da confiabilidade e da taxa de falhas, identificando que os equipamentos se encontram na fase de vida senil, sendo mais indicada a manutenção preventiva. Verificou-se que a folga excessiva entre os elementos rolantes que compõem o sistema do balanção era a principal causa de falhas no guincho Hillo, sendo então projetado um Anel-Guia para o cabo, de modo a evitar mais problemas.Palavras-chave: Confiabilidade.

Weibull.Analysis of equipment failures and the importance of maintenance planning: an application in a Sugar and alcohol plantAbtractThrough technological advances, the globalization of the market and the demand for production at lower costs, today's organizations aim for greater productivity, requiring equipment with high reliability and availability. The need arises to maximize the time in operation of the industrial plant in order to guarantee greater production. The objective of this work was to perform a failure analysis of equipment used in the sugarcane milling sector of a sugar and ethanol mill. The applied research method consisted of the case study. For the analysis, the collection of times until equipment failure, and, for modeling of the data, the software ProConf was used. The modeling of the reliability and failure rate of the equipment was done in order to identify the phase of their life. The distribution that best fits the times is Weibull. It was possible to generate the reliability and failure rate graphs, identifying that the equipment are in the senile life stage, and preventive maintenance is more indicated. It was found that excessive play between the rolling elements that make up the swinging system was the main cause of failure in the Hillo winch, and a guide ring was designed for the cable in order to avoid further problems.Keywords: Reliability.

¿Qué es el populismo? Definición de los usuarios de Twitter durante la campaña electoral presidencial mexicana 2017-2018
Authors: Flores Gonzalez Ruben
Published: September 2019

Desde la academia se ha definido al populismo como ideología, estrategia, discurso, y encuadre de comunicación. Si bien se han alcanzado algunos consensos incluso entre estas diferentes formas de conceptualizar al término –la narrativa de confrontación entre el pueblo, y la élite, por ejemplo– para hacer estas definiciones los académicos se han basado en modelos de líderes o gobiernos que primero recibieron la denominación de populista de parte de la prensa o de la ciudadanía. Por lo tanto, se hace necesario reflexionar respecto a cómo se define al populismo desde el debate político cotidiano. Con este propósito se realizó un análisis de contenido cualitativo a una muestra de 4,339 tuits con menciones sobre el populismo, publicados en el contexto de las elecciones presidenciales mexicanas. Se observa que los usuarios de Twitter describieron al populismo como ideología y como estrategia política. Ambas definiciones se hicieron desde la oposición afectiva al populismo, y se utilizaron para descalificar a algunos de los candidatos en la contienda.
Giriş Kalite Kontrol Sürecinde Kabul-Ret Kararı Destek Sistemi
Authors: YILMAZ EROĞLU Duygu
Published: September 2019

Karar destek algoritması tasarlanırken
en önemli aşama, kullanıcıların beklentilerinin belirlenmesidir. Sonrasında
veriler, veri madenciliği çalışma alanına aktarılır, hazırlanarak en önemli
girdi parametreleri belirlenir, sistemi en iyi temsil eden ve örüntüdeki gizli
bilgileri ortaya çıkaran model kurulur. Ardından, modelin performans göstergesi
saptanır ve doğrulanmış sonuçlar değerlendirilir ya da karara destek olmak
üzere kullanıma sunulur. Bu çalışmada da iplik kalite kabul sürecinde, dört
adet girdi faktörünün yanında, kabul kararının verilmesinde çalışanların bilgi
birikimlerinin de dikkate alındığı bir sistem için öngörü destek algoritmaları tasarlanmıştır.
İlk algoritma, daha önce sınıflandırma çalışması için tasarlanıp doğrulanan
melez genetik algoritma olup mevcut çalışmaya adapte edilmiştir. Diğer
algoritma ise sinirsel ağlar temelli melez radyal tabanlı fonksiyondur ve probleme uygun
hale getirilerek kodlanmıştır. Gerçek üretim verilerinin kabul-ret kararı için
sınıflandırılması sürecinde, geliştirilen iki algoritmanın yanında literatürde
iyi bilinen bazı yöntemler kullanılarak performans karşılaştırması yapılmıştır. Melez
genetik algoritmanın performansı doğrulandıktan sonra, elde edilen en iyi
kromozom, sınıflandırma tahmin modeli olarak kullanılmıştır. Önerilen yönteme
göre, seçilen öznitelik değerleri, belirlenen katsayılar ile çarpılmış ve bir
eşik değeri ile karşılaştırılarak makul bir doğruluk oranı ile kabul-ret kararı
verilebilmiştir.  Makalenin
literatüre katkısı ise iki şekilde değerlendirilebilir. İlki, önerilen melez
genetik algoritmanın sınıflandırma performansının melez sinirsel ağlar yöntemi
ile karşılaştırılması, ikincisi, önerilen melez genetik algoritma sonucunda
elde edilen en iyi kromozomun iplik kalite kabul süreci için destek sistem
olarak kullanabilmesidir.
Doğrusal Olmayan Yük Koşullarında Çalışan Kuru Tip Transformatörlerin Titreşim Etkileri Üzerine Bir Analiz
Authors: BATTAL Funda , SEFA İbrahim , BALCI Selami
Published: September 2019

Transformatörler
genel olarak doğrusal yüklerde çalıştırılmak üzere tasarlanırlar. Ancak son
yıllarda doğrusal olmayan yüklerin toplam yük içerisindeki oranının artması ile
bu şartlarda çalışabilecek tasarımlara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Transformatör
sargılarından geçen akımların harmonik oranlarının artması ile transformatörün
hem sargılarında hem de nüvelerinde daha fazla ısı oluşmakta ve işletme
veriminin düşmesine yol açmaktadır. Doğrusal olmayan yüklerin diğer önemli bir
etkisi de titreşim genlik değerlerinin büyümesine yol açarak transformatörlerin
nüve ve sargılarının servis ömründe azalmaya yol açmalarıdır. Artan titreşim
genlikleri ve dereceleri hem gürültü kirliliği oluşturur hem de transformatörün
anma değerlerinin değişmesine yol açar. Transformatörlerin arıza teşhis ve
koruma fonksiyonlarının tam olarak yapılabilmesi için sadece akım gerilim gibi
elektriksel ve termal parametreleri ile değil aynı zamanda titreşim gibi
mekanik parametrelerinin de tam ölçülebilmesi ile mümkün olabilmektedir. Bu
nedenle transformatörlerin titreşim sinyallerinin izlenmesi ve değişen çalışma
koşulları altında değişim sınırlarının belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla,
yapılan çalışmada 500kVA anma gücündeki bir yalıtım transformatörünün doğrusal
olmayan farklı yük şartları altındaki elektromanyetik analizleri yapılarak nüve
kuvvetleri elde edilmiş daha sonra bu değerlere karşılık gelen titreşim
değerleri belirlenmiş ve sonuçları rapor edilmiştir.
FILOSOFI NABI IBRAHIM MENCARI TUHAN MELALUI BULAN, BINTANG DAN MATAHARI

If the nature of the horizon above  is observed, which  also shows the sun, moon, stars and  so on, so does the earth with all its contents in the  form of humans, animals, plants and  solid objects, there is a close relationship with the complicated balance that smoothes the arrangement between the various colors of nature and that strengthen each other’s circumstances. Everything is a sign and proof of the form of Allah Almighty. In addition to showing the existence of the Substance of Allah SWT also proves the oneness and to His Almighty created it. It seems not to be imagined at all in anyone’s mind that these objects occur  without anyone creating as well as it is impossible to imagine that something created no one made it.

Authors: Chamba Mercedes , Gavilanes Christian
Published: September 2019

Esta investigación muestra los beneficios de los recursos auténticos en la fluidez oral. 96 encuestas fueron aplicadas para conocer si los profesores utilizan materiales auténticos y 31 grabaciones de voz para conocer el nivel de fluidez. Luego, 22 estudiantes de tercer nivel (MCER-A2) de inglés fueron elegidos al azar, 15 participantes para el grupo experimental y 7 para el grupo de control. El grupo experimental recibió recursos auténticos y el de control utilizó un texto y material didáctico. Para medir el progreso de fluidez oral se contabilizó el número de palabras, pausas, y rellenos vocales considerando la precisión del uso de vocabulario. Las pruebas posteriores indicaron una mejora significativa en la fluidez oral.

La pose autobiográfica. Ensayos sobre narrativa chilena (2018) de Lorena Amaro es un recorrido de desenmascaramiento sobre el "modo en que toman cuerpo en la escritura las innumerables máscaras del yo" (13), como planteo Leonor Arfuch en su presentación. Problematizando (y, por ende, también tensionando a partir de la teorí­a) categorí­as como la de autobiografí­a, la autoficción y la escritura del yo, entre otras, la autora se aproxima a un corpus ambicioso en cronologí­a, contextos y propuestas estéticas de obras chilenas, con lo cual levanta un mapa que permitirá al lector, sobre todo al lector académico, hacerse una idea de las disí­miles gestualidades discursivas de las que se valen alguno(a)s escritore(a)s nacionales para ponerse sobre escena a partir de sus propias dubitaciones y miradas, lo que ella denomina "poses" autobiográficas, "los gestos e incluso las fabulaciones que emergen de la conciencia de sí­ y del recuerdo sostenido de lo que se ha sido" (Amaro 31).
