Published: May 2019

Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emission has considerable impact on global warming and climate change. Since energy systems and their features noticeably influence on the amount of GHGs emission, it can be modeled based on the specifications of energy sources utilized by the countries. In addition, economic activity is another factor which should be considered in GHG emission modeling. In this work, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used for estimating carbon dioxide emission, as one of the most abundant GHGs, on the basis of shares of various energy sources used as primary energy supply and GDP as an indicator for economic activities. Five countries including Iran, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) are considered as case studies. Comparing between the estimated data by the achieved model and actual quantities showed acceptable precision of the ANN model for prediction of carbon dioxide emission. The average absolute relative error and the R-squared values of the GMDH model are approximately 2.28% and 0.9998, respectively. The obtained values for the mentioned statistical criteria show the precision of the model in forecasting the emission of Co2.
The QBIT Theory of Consciousness
Authors: Beshkar Majid
Published: May 2019

This paper introduces the first version of the QBIT theory of consciousness which is based on inspirations and insights from Quantum mechanics, Biology, Information theory, and Thermodynamics. The ultimate goal of the QBIT theory is to find scientifically correct answers to the following four questions: What is the nature of qualia? How are qualia generated? Why are qualia subjective? Why does a quale have a particular meaning?The theory, in its first version, proposes tentative answers to these four fundamental questions about consciousness. According to the QBIT theory qualia are quantum information encoded in maximally entangled pure states. Qualia are generated when robustness of quantum information exceeds a certain threshold. Qualia are subjective because maximally entangled pure states are not shareable. The quality or meaning of a particular quale is determined by its associated internal model.

Published: May 2019

The study carried out by simulation, concerns the thermal behavior of an office building’s solar fresh air cooling system, based on a LiBr-H2O absorption chiller in different climatic conditions. The coefficient of performance (COP) and the solar fraction were considered performance parameters and were analyzed with respect to the operating limits: risk of crystallization and maintaining at least a minimum degassing zone. A new correlation between the required solar hot temperature and the cooling water temperature was established and then embedded in another new correlation between the COP and the cooling water temperature that was used in simulations during the whole cooling season corresponding to each location. It was found that: the solar hot water should be maintained in the range of (80-100) °C depending on the cooling water temperature, the COP of the solar LiBr-H2O absorption chiller with or without cold storage tank can reach (76.5-82.4) % depending on the location, and the solar fraction can reach (29.5-62.0) % without cold storage tank and can exceed 100 % with cold storage tank, the excess cooling power being available to cover other types of cooling loads: through the building envelope, from lighting, from occupants, etc.
Collision Space-Time.  Unified Quantum Gravity. Gravity is Lorentz Symmetry Break Down at the Planck Scale
Authors: Haug Espen
Published: May 2019

We have recently presented a unified quantum gravity theory [1]. Here we extend on that work and present an even simpler version of that theory. For about hundred years, modern physics has not been able to build a bridge between quantum mechanics and gravity. However, a solution may be found here; we present our quantum gravity theory, which is rooted in indivisible particles where matter and gravity are related to collisions and can be described by collision space-time. In this paper, we also show that we can formulate a quantum wave equation rooted in collision space-time, which is equivalent to mass and energy.The beauty of our theory is that most of the main equations that currently exist in physics are not changed (in terms of predictions), except at the Planck scale. The Planck scale is directly linked to gravity and gravity is, surprisingly, actually a Lorentz symmetry as well as a form of Heisenberg uncertainty break down at the Planck scale. Our theory gives a dramatic simplification of many physics formulas without altering the output predictions. The relativistic wave equation, the relativistic energy momentum relation, and Minkowski space can all be represented by simpler equations when we understand mass at a deeper level. This not attained at a cost, but rather a reflection of the benefit in having gravity and electromagnetism unified under the same theory.
Challenges Facing the Implementation of SMASSE’S ASEI/PDSI Approaches in Teaching
Authors: Kiige James Mwangi
Published: May 2019

Kenya, like most other developing countries, is beginning to address a wide range of problems with the heightened concern for the role played by In-service Education and Training (INSET) in improving the quality of education. Opportunities for learning through in-serving training continue to open up for teachers, a fact that has seen the initiation of programmes such as Strengthening Mathematics and Science in Secondary Education (SMASSE). SMASSE utilizes two approaches to teaching; Activity, Student-centred, Experiment, Improvisation (ASEI) and Plan, Do, See, Improve (PDSI). This paper is an instrumental guide into government decisions on the SMASSE project which has so far highlighted many challenges being faced both by the teachers and the students in the implementation process. This study proposes from the point of implementers and consumers, ways to counter the challenges. This implies that the areas of weaknesses can then be addressed. The study used a total of sixteen schools selected through stratified random sampling. The study gathered both qualitative and quantitative data which was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, Registered R and Excel. Findings are presented in tables using percentages, frequency distribution and means. A number of challenges in the implementation of SMASSE were identified. These included inadequate time, de-motivated teachers and students’ indiscipline among others. The study concludes that though SMASSE INSET does not show an impact on the performance of mathematics and chemistry, it has influenced the teachers’ ability to deliver in their teaching amidst various challenges. The author thus recommends that future SMASSE programmes should have a bottom-up approach to enable full ownership by stakeholders.
Ulnar Nerve Compression due to Anconeus Epitrochlearis
Authors: Cammarata Michael J. , Hill J. Bradford , Sharma Sheel
Published: May 2019

Case:

A 32-year-old right-handed surgeon presented with a history of intermittent pain at the right medial epicondyle, a mild Tinel's sign, and dysesthesia in the ulnar nerve distribution. Dynamic ultrasound demonstrated a hypertrophic anconeus epitrochlearis bilaterally, and chronic irritation of the ulnar nerve. Anterior release with myectomy of the accessory muscle was performed. No compressive symptoms were present at 1-year follow-up.

Conclusions:

The anconeus epitrochlearis is an often-underappreciated cause of ulnar nerve compression that can lead to significant functional impairment. Dynamic ultrasound is an excellent diagnostic modality, and anterior release with myectomy provides durable relief with minimal downtime.
Efficacy and Mechanism of Abdominal Acupuncture as a Poststroke Intervention for Promoting Upper-limb Motor Recovery: A Study Protocol of A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Pan Ruihuan , Ling Shanshan , XIE Jingping , Guo Youhua , Zhong Yiping , Huang Yan , Zhan Jie , Cheung Vincent C. K. , Chen Hongxia
Published: May 2019

Background: How to promote true recovery from poststroke upper limb motor impairment has remained an urgent public health problem. Acupuncture has the potential to facilitate poststroke recovery. Abdominal acupuncture, based on the recently discovered acupoint system on the anterior abdominal wall, appears attractive because it induces less pain, and allows concurrent limb rehabilitative training during treatment. However, its clinical efficacy has not been systematically demonstrated, and its neurophysiological mechanism has remained obscure.

Methods: First-onset stroke survivors (0.5-3 months post-stroke) will be randomly divided into 3 groups (N=22 in each), respectively receiving (1) abdominal acupuncture, (2) abdominal acupuncture with sham needles, and (3) no acupuncture. All subjects will concurrently receive basic treatment, including upper limb rehabilitative training and measures for secondary stroke prevention. Clinical scores reflective of motor functions and impairment (Wolf motor function test, Fugl-Meyer assessment, Brunnstrom staging), evaluation of daily life ability, surface electromyography, and motor-imagery functional magnetic resonance imaging will be collected as outcome measures before and after intervention. Upper-limb muscle synergies will be identified from the collected surface electromyography.

Discussion: The study will use abdominal acupuncture to improve recovery from motor dysfunction of the upper limb after stroke, to observe the effects of abdominal acupuncture on post-stroke upper limb motor functions, and to analyze the relationship between changes in upper-limb functions and measurements from both multi-muscle surface electromyographic data and brain activations during motor imagery from functional magnetic resonance imaging, so as to explore possible mechanisms of neuroplasticity associated with abdominal acupuncture.

Trial registration: This trial was registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT03712085) on 7th July 2018, and last updated on 16th Oct 2018.

Interdisciplinary efforts in high‐throughput field phenotyping

Linking proximal and remote field phenotyping

Cyberinfrastructure for high‐throughput field phenotyping

Plant breeding and agronomy are labor‐intensive sciences, and the success of these disciplines is critical to meet planetary challenges of food and water security for the world's growing population. Recent gains in sensor technology, remote sensing, robotics and autonomy, big data analytics, and genomics are being adopted by agricultural scientists for high‐throughput phenotyping, precision agriculture, and crop‐scouting platforms. These technological gains are ushering in an era of digital agriculture that should greatly enhance the capacity of plant breeders and agronomists. This report encompasses the priorities and recommendations that emerged from two USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA)‐funded Big Data Driven Agriculture workshops held on 26–27 Feb. 2018 in Arlington, VA. The objectives of the workshops were to bring together diverse subject‐matter experts in the represented disciplines of plant breeding, machine learning, remote sensing, and big data infrastructure and analytics to (i) explore how large and comprehensive datasets in plant breeding, genomics, remote sensing, and analytics will benefit agriculture; (ii) discuss strategies for creating a successful field phenotyping campaign and to determine protocols for the collection and analysis of agricultural big data; (iii) consider how to best engage the broader community of public and private plant breeders and agronomists to determine additional challenges, make wider use of the data, and ensure application of standardized methods to other datasets; and (iv) generate a report describing cross‐cutting short‐ and long‐term funding needs for continued success in this domain.

Bahiagrass–rhizoma peanut mixtures resulted in similar whole soil C stocks as N‐fertilized bahiagrass monocultures.

Bahiagrass–rhizoma peanut mixtures had greater total and particulate organic matter C than rhizoma peanut monocultures.

Particulate organic matter C/N ratio of rhizoma peanut and N‐fertilized bahiagrass monocultures were lower than C/N ratio in bahiagrass–rhizoma peanut mixtures.

The use of δ13C to verify changes in the soil organic matter caused by the plant component was a better predictor than the use of δ15N.

Soil particulate organic matter (POM) represents a labile soil organic matter (SOM) fraction and is an important source of nutrients for soil microorganisms and plants. This study assessed C and N stocks in POM and soil mineral‐associated fractions for forage mixtures of rhizoma peanut (RP; Arachis glabrata Benth.) and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flüggé) in contrast with their monocultures. Treatments included two bahiagrass entries receiving 90 kg N ha–1 harvest–1, two RP entries, and the four bahiagrass–RP combinations. Samples were collected from the 0‐ to 15‐cm soil depth in July 2015 and in September 2016, after seven harvests. Soil samples were fractionated into POM and mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM) by dispersion with sodium hexametaphosphate and sieving (53 μm). Samples were analyzed for δ13C, δ15N, and total C and N. Groups of bahiagrass, bahiagrass–RP, and RP were contrasted. There were no differences in N stocks among forage treatments. Bahiagrass–RP mixtures had greater soil POM‐C stock (5.1 Mg C ha–1) than RP monocultures (4.0 Mg C ha–1). Soil POM C/N ratio was lower for bahiagrass (18.2) and RP monocultures (16.2) than bahiagrass–RP (20.6). Bahiagrass–RP and bahiagrass had similar soil δ13C and were less depleted than RP (–23‰ vs. –26‰ and –26‰ vs. –28‰, for POM and MAOM, respectively). Soil POM‐C stock under forage mixtures was not different from N‐fertilized bahiagrass, and it was greater than RP. Hence, mixing RP and bahiagrass can be an option to increase POM‐C without the need of N fertilizer.

Core Ideas

For preferential flow modeling, different macropore types must be considered.

A method was developed for separating biopores and cracks in 3D images from XRCT.

The method enabled a more objective determination of structuring element sizes.

The voxel‐based approach was found useful for quantification of macropore types.

In structured soils, earthworm burrows, root channels, shrinkage cracks, and interaggregate spaces form complex macropore networks. Depending on the type and morphological properties, each macropore surface type is coated with specific organo‐mineral compounds, differently affecting sorption and mass exchange during preferential flow and turnover processes. For a quantitative, macropore type–specific analysis using X‐ray computed tomography (XRCT) with subsequent three‐dimensional (3D) image analysis, a discrimination of biopores from cracks and interaggregate spaces is necessary. We developed a method that allows separating biopores from other larger macropores in 3D images from XRCT of intact soil cores. An image‐processing workflow using the MAVI (Modular Algorithms for Volume Images) software framework ToolIP (Tool for Image Processing) was created to handle XRCT 3D images. Masking steps enabled to retain the surface roughness in the resulting two images of separated biopores and cracks. As a key point, the sizes of the structuring elements used in the spherical opening and dilation were objectively determined. For this purpose, maximum differences in the pore shapes between the 3D images of cylindrical biopores vs. more flat cracks and unregularly interaggregate spaces were focused. At the given resolution of 231‐μm voxel edge length, an optimum size of 2.5 voxels was found for both processing steps. The voxel‐based approach is applicable to XRCT 3D images of different spatial resolution and appears useful for the quantification of physicochemical surface properties of different macropore types for soil volumes, enabling a more precise description of preferential flow and transport.

Published: May 2019

The short-term streamflow forecast is an important parameter in studies related to energy generation and the prediction of possible floods. Flowing through three Brazilian states, the Paraíba do Sul river is responsible for the supply and energy generation in several municipalities.  Machine learning techniques have been studied with the aim of improving these predictions through the use of hydrological and hydrometeorological parameters. Furthermore, the predictive performance of the machine learning techniques are directly related to the quality of the training base and, moreover, to the set of hyperparameters used. The present study explores the combination of the Gradient Boosting technique coupled with a Genetic Algorithm to found the best set of hyperparameter to maximize the predicting performance of the Paraíba do Sul river streamflow.

A hidroxiapatita cerâmica foi sintetizada pelo método de co-precipitação úmida e digestão lenta, tendo como reagentes precursores o ácido ortofosfórico e o hidróxido de cálcio. Desta forma, a síntese da hidroxiapatita deficiente é iniciada. O artefato de síntese baseado em haste metálica é montado em um Becker com solução de hidróxido de cálcio com gotejamento controlado de ácido fosfórico na taxa de 5 gotas por minuto em fluxo constante em um total de 5 horas em um sistema montado sobre a placa de aquecimento com agitação magnética. A massa obtida foi seca (estufa a 500C) por 3 dias, triturada (gral de ágata) e peneirada (tamizes controladas). Os pós foram prensados por prensagem uniaxial usando uma força de 500Kg em um molde-matriz de aço com um diâmetro de 15mm e uma altura de 3-4mm. Em seguida, as pastilhas obtidas foram calcinados a 1100ºC em forno com rampa específica controlada. As pastilhas foram caracterizadas por DRX, FTIR, Raman e AFM, além da análise do dilatômetro e histeresímetro. Após essa etapa, as nanopartículas de prata (AgNPs) foram sintetizadas na superfície e analisadas por MEV e EDS. Foi possível obter o modelamento das etapas cruciais. Os resultados mostraram que foi possível obter a matriz de hidroxiapatita comprovada pela caracterização  físico-química e recobrí-la com nanopartículas de prata (AgNPs) em estrutura semelhante ao design final necessário para aplicação de defeitos ósseos críticos.

As an alternative control method, to improve control and to reduce synthetic fungicide use, three Candida oleophila strains and/or four commercial synthetic fungicides were used to control Botrytis cinerea damage on postharvest apple fruit. Synthetic commercial fungicides; Cyprodinil+Fludioxonil, Thiabendazole and Benomyl, allowed Candida oleophila strains colony growth when challenged to the pressure of these fungicides. Synthetic commercial fungicide Captan did not allow any Candida oleophila strains colony growth. Control of Botrytis cinerea expressed in % of damage and damage reduction, gave an average control of; 100% for Cyprodinil+Fludioxonil; Captan, 97.5%; Thiabendazole, 94.1% and Benomyl, 93.7% All Candida oleophila strains, individually, gave a 100% control. Thiabendazole and Benomyl improved their efficiency to control Botrytis cinerea when combined with Candida oleophila. Control of Botrytis cinerea damage on postharvest Golden Delicious apple fruit can be achieved up to 100% either with Candida oleophila strains individually and/or with Cyprodinil+Fludioxonil alone. The use of Candida oleophila as an alternative method to control Botrytis cinerea damage on postharvest apple fruit means a reduction of synthetic fungicide use, plus avoiding fungicide residues on the treated apple fruit and on the environment, thus reducing the risk for human health damage.

Published: May 2019

Introducción: La caries dental en niños es un problema de salud pública de origen multifactorial. Los hábitos de higiene bucal se adquieren en los primeros años de la vida por lo que el responsable de su cuidado juega un papel relevante.Objetivo: Identificar los determinantes del responsable en el cuidado del niño y su relación con la salud oral y dental del preescolar.Material y métodos: Efectuamos un estudio transversal comparativo en el que se incluyeron 292 niños y niñas preescolares de entre 3 y 6 años y su respectivo responsable en áreas de nivel socioeconómico medio y bajo en León, México. A los responsables de los preescolares, se les aplicó un cuestionario para identificar el nivel educativo, socioeconómico, nivel de conocimientos sobre el cuidado de la salud bucal, actitudes, autoeficacia, habilidades, características psicométricas y la categoría de cariogenicidad de la dieta del preescolar. Al  responsable se le midió el biofilm e índice CPOD y a los niños los índices ceo e ICDAS, biofilm y el nivel de riesgo para caries.Resultados: En 87% de los binomios, el responsable fue la madre, con edad promedio de 31 años y nivel de escolaridad más frecuente educación media en 33%. En los preescolares el índice ceo mostró la mediana de 14 [Rango intercuartil (RIC) 8 y 20]. El índice  ICDAS mostró una mediana de 3 (RIC 2 y 4). El promedio de biofilm general fue 89% ± 19, principalmente por placa madura mediana en 29% de los casos. En 146 (50%) se identificó el consumo de dieta cariogénica. Los factores relacionados con la frecuencia de las caries en los preescolares fueron de forma negativa la edad del responsable, su actitud, los conocimientos, la autoeficacia y el consumo de una dieta cariogénica (R2= 0.13; p<0.0001 para el modelo). Para la intensidad de la caries los factores relacionados de forma negativa  fueron la escolaridad del responsable, la autoeficacia y el otorgar una dieta cariogénica, así como la mayor edad del preescolar (R2= 0.075; p=0.0005 para el modelo).Conclusión: Los modelos de prevención adecuados para la caries de la infancia temprana, deben considerar en el responsable además de la transmisión de conocimientos, incrementar la actitud y generar autoeficacia en las acciones para el cuidado de la salud en etapas tempranas del niño.

Introducción: El presente documento tiene como propósito elaborar un análisis costo-beneficio para avalar la construcción de un nuevo centro penitenciario en el municipio de San Pedro Cholula, en el estado de Puebla.Método: Se empleó un modelo de costo-beneficio para proyectos sociales. Consiste en estimar los beneficios, directos e indirectos, obtenidos por los sujetos involucrados: gobierno, familias y sociedad.Resultados: El análisis costo-beneficio de construir un nuevo penal arrojó una TIR de 48% y una relación costo-beneficio de 1.77, lo que nos dice que la construcción de un nuevo penal es rentable y benéfica en los términos planteados en el ejercicio.Conclusiones: La sobrepoblación de las instalaciones actuales, la operación de una poderosa red de corrupción al interior y la permanente violación a los derechos humanos de las personas privadas de la libertad impiden el cumplimiento de la reinserción. Por eso, la construcción de un nuevo CERESO es urgente para establecer las condiciones más adecuadas para su operación. Además a mediano y largo plazo más rentable porque disminuye costos. Por el contrario, postergar su construcción consumirá cada vez más recursos, mantendrá inalterado el autogobierno del CERESO, no impactará en la disminución de la incidencia delictiva y ocurrirán más violaciones a los derechos humanos.

Published: May 2019

El suicidio se considera un problema de salud pública que ha aumentado exponencialmente, por lo que identificar población en riesgo suicida, así como factores asociados es esencial para su prevención en la población adolescente. Este estudio, analizó en qué medida la autoestima, la desesperanza y factores sociodemográficos, inciden en la presencia de riesgo suicida en adolescentes de educación media superior;  para ello, se trabajó con un total de 74 participantes hombres y mujeres con un rango de edad de 15 a 18 años, de una población no clínica clasificados en dos grupos: con y sin riesgo suicida, en igual número y características de edad y sexo. Se aplicó la escala de riesgo Suicida de Plutchik (1989; 1998), la escala de Autoestima de González-Arratia (2011) y la escala de Desesperanza de Córdoba, Rosales y Eguiluz (2005). Los resultados indicaron la existencia de una relación positiva significativa entre las variables de riesgo suicida y desesperanza e inversa con autoestima. Respecto al tipo de familia, los participantes de familia monoparental, puntuaron más alto tanto en riesgo suicida como en desesperanza. Del modelo de regresión logística binaria, se obtuvo que la variable que predice el riesgo suicida es la desesperanza, seguida de la autoestima. No se reportan diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en ninguna de las variables evaluadas. Se concluye que la desesperanza incrementa la probabilidad de riesgo suicida, por lo que su inclusión es esencial en futuros estudios empíricos, así como en modelos de prevención e intervención  en  adolescentes.
FRONTEIRAS DA EXCLUSÃO DE DIREITOS. HÁ UMA DISCRIMINAÇÃO INSTITUCIONALIZADA CONTRA OS ESTRANGEIROS?
Authors: Mileli Diego Ramos
Published: May 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar se não seria o caso que o trato diferenciado dedicado a cidadãos nacionais e imigrantes seria discriminatório. A questão dos imigrantes internacionais aflora atualmente nos mais distintos campos da sociedade.Entretanto, o foco da discussão aqui não é somente o ato de cruzar as fronteiras - ponto central de grande parte das publicações filosóficas sobre imigração. O cerne é a diferença entre direitos e obrigações de imigrantes internacionais e cidadãos nacionais.Não se trata de cidadãos de um ou outro país, mas da categoria ‘cidadão nacional’ frente à categoria ‘estrangeiro’, independentemente do país. Será discutido o conceito de discriminação, a fim de que, sobre o pano de fundo deste conceito, sejam debatidas as restrições aos direitos dos estrangeiros. Com isso, pretende-se demonstrar que este tratamento diferenciado caracterizaria uma discriminação, pois os argumentos que sustentariam a diferenciação são insuficientes para justificá-la.

In questo lavoro verrà descritto un esempio di utilizzo del corpus parallelo italiano-russo del Corpus Nazionale della Lingua Russa (NKRJa) nella didattica del russo L2 a discenti italiani di livello avanzato, in particolare nella presentazione dei costrutti cosiddetti ‘preconcessivi’. Innanzitutto, agli studenti viene fornita un’introduzione teorica sulle relazioni transfrastiche e sui costrutti preconcessivi sulla base delle forme italiane. I costrutti preconcessivi sono costituiti da una struttura correlativa paratattica con un anticipatore cataforico (come è vero, sì) e una ripresa anaforica (come ma, però). Gli anticipatori cataforici vengono suddivisi in due classi a seconda che indeboliscano il peso argomentativo della prima frase direttamente o indirettamente (come il futuro ‘concessivo’ del verbo essere). Dopo l’introduzione teorica gli studenti procedono alla ricerca sul corpus di alcuni anticipatori cataforici. I risultati permettono di individuare analogie e differenze tra le due lingue. In particolare la ricerca del secondo tipo di anticipatori mostra come in russo il distanziamento epistemico venga reso attraverso marche linguistiche avverbiali quali požaluj e možet byt’. Emerge come l’utilizzo del corpus parallelo si possa applicare alla didattica delle relazioni transfrastiche e dei costrutti preconcessivi agli studenti di russo L2, poiché favorisce l’analisi metalinguistica sulla lingua materna e il confronto interlinguistico nell’uso.
L’acquisizione del Voice Onset Time dell’italiano L2 da parte dei sinofoni: uno studio sperimentale
Authors: Xu Hao
Published: May 2019

Il presente studio ha come obiettivo quello di misurare il valore di Voice Onset Time (VOT, l’intervallo di tempo tra l’esplosione del suono occlusivo e l’inizio delle vibrazioni periodiche del suono seguente) delle consonanti occlusive bilabiali e delle consonanti occlusive alveolari o dentali dell’italiano nella produzione orale dei parlanti cinesi. In questo esperimento, le produzioni dei parlanti sono state analizzate sotto forma di spettrogramma. I risultati dell’analisi hanno mostrato una forte diminuzione dei valori di VOT da parte di alcuni parlanti cinesi, spiegabile attraverso i successivi confronti tra occlusive sorde e sonore nelle due lingue. I sinofoni, invece di creare una nuova categoria fonetica, hanno cercato di rimpiazzare le occlusive sorde non aspirate presenti nella L1 con le occlusive sonore italiane perché questi due tipi di suoni, con alcune differenze, ricadono nella stessa categoria, definita short lag. Ciò dimostra che il VOT è un vincolo fonologico non facile da superare da parte di parlanti non nativi e rappresenta una proprietà fonetico-acustica che rimane salda nella produzione orale della L2.

Published: May 2019

Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa sobre a importância da consulta do enfermeiro durante o pré-natal da gestante de baixo risco, utilizando a abordagem centrada na pessoa - gestante. O pré-natal é o acompanhamento da evolução da gestação que visa cuidar da saúde da mulher e do seu bebê até que o parto ocorra, também é o momento que a gestante vivencia diferentes sentimentos, por isso o estabelecimento de relação com a enfermagem se faz imprescindível. O pré-natal quando realizado com qualidade desempenha importante papel na redução da mortalidade materna e infantil. Informações sobre as diferentes vivências devem ser trocadas entre as mulheres e os profissionais de saúde. A consulta de enfermagem é uma atividade que irá proporcionar ao enfermeiro (a) condições para atuar de forma direta e independente com a paciente, caracterizando dessa forma sua autonomia. Segundo a Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do Rio de Janeiro, a abordagem centrada na pessoa – gestane deve ser uma ferramenta primordial na Estratégia de Saúde da Familia, pois propicia o vínculo, atendimento integral e fortalecimento da longitudinalidade do cuidado alem de ser uma tecnologia leve, utilizada pelo profissional que permite idenificar as  últiplas vulnerabilidades, fazendo com que diminuam se as chances de complicações e mortalidade materna e infantil e uma boa qualidade do pré-natal. Espera-se que este estudo contribua para reflexão do enfermeiro, quanto a sua importância nesse contexto, visando uma assistência à gestante cada vez mais humanizada e científica.

Affective Response and Attraction Effect on Consumer’s Intention to Buy
Authors: Santosa Eric
Published: May 2019

Studies of attraction effects commonly exercised by an experimental techniques, in which the effect is truly experienced. While the effect is apparently obvious, what is the consequence of generating an intention to buy? In addition, do the consumer’s moods and emotions affect the intention? If the moods are not fine does the consumer still want to choose the same brand/product? The answers are the purpose of the study. A sample which consists of 100 respondents is withdrawn by convenience and judgment method. Amos 16.0 and SPSS 16.0 are employed in analyzing data. The result shows that both, the attitude and subjective norm, are affected by the attraction effect. In addition, while the creation of attitude is affected by the attraction effect, it also influenced by the affective response. Futhermore, the customer’s intention to buy is built up as theorized.
La frontera en Arauco en el siglo XVII: recursos, población, conocimiento y política imperial
Authors: Gascón Margarita
Published: May 2019

La disponibilidad de recursos naturales brinda explicaciones sobre la evolución de las sociedades coloniales, especialmente en las fronteras porque, de diversas maneras, los recursos disponibles estructuraron las relaciones sociales, desde el comercio hasta la guerra. El presente análisis explica algunos aspectos teóricos sobre los estudios de fronteras en general y luego explora las posibilidades que brinda un modelo que organiza los datos en tres esferas: población, recursos y conocimiento. Estas tres esferas, a su vez, interactúan en un campo de fuerzas determinado por las decisiones geopolíticas y estratégicas que se tomaban en la lejana metrópolis europea. El objetivo de este modelo es otorgar al ambiente, pero más especialmente a los recursos naturales, la misma importancia que los análisis históricos asignan al factor demográfico, al comercio, a la producción o a las decisiones políticas. El modelo finalmente se aplica a la frontera en Arauco, que fue militarizada desde principios del siglo XVII.
Qualitative Marketing Research, Neurosciences, and Transdisciplinarity
Authors: Guelfand Georges
Published: May 2019

Qualitative studies often refer to the notion of the inconscious and neurosciences reveal to us the existence of a neuronal inconscious. But inconscious is not only neuronal, and the qualitative method does not offer ways to measure the mental reactions in individuals. In qualitative, we decipher the incounscious conditioned by our social, historical, and cultural environnementmake; we read how the consumer projects himself onto the objects of the world; we tap into creative imagination; we can pull everything apart and reconstruct it; and we take part in the strategic objectives of a brand.  For example, to construct a Brand strategy, we have to think differently; to break the beliefs; to think in a contradictory way. Qualitative is about going beyond the concrete facts and the measurements, which allows to think out of the box; it is about control and emerging meaning. In a world increasingly saturated with objective information, qualitative has a symbolic  function that helps overcome the deadlocks of rationality. Qualitative is a transdisciplinary discipline.
Asymmetry in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis under different levels of urbanization: The effect of trait and FA index selection

Published: May 2019

The use of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) as a measure of developmental instability and its relationship to stress and fitness is highly controversial. We examined whether the selection of different FA indices and traits influences the results of FA analysis. We chose four meristic traits and three FA indices (two single-trait and two multiple-trait indices) to assess FA levels in the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) from three different habitat types (urban, suburban and natural). Urbanization has already been linked to developmental instability in P. muralis. We therefore expected to detect different FA levels among the habitats. However, we also wanted to see whether we obtained the same patterns using different indices and traits. Our results showed that different traits can yield different FA patterns between habitats. The only statistically significant difference between habitats was detected for the FA2 index in femoral pores. The highest level of FA was detected in the urban population, while the lowest level was in the natural population. It is clear that caution must be exerted when deciding on which traits and indices are to be used for FA analysis.

Heidegger on Klee: New perspectives of Heidegger’s philosophy of art
Authors: Popovic Una
Published: May 2019

The main focus of this paper is Heidegger?s interpretation of Klee?s
painting. I am aiming to show that the interpretation of Klee has
radicalized earlier Heidegger?s understanding of art, so that now painting
is an alternative to poetry in the context of Heidegger?s philosophy of art.
This will be exemplified by a comparative analysis of Heidegger?s views on
painting and poetry, with regard to the possibility that art can be an
instigation for the change in the philosophy itself; the overcoming of an
image will be our special focus. Analysis will show that the interpretation
of Klee allows for a further radicalization of Heidegger?s philosophy of
art, such that would introduce the overcoming of the art itself.
