Published: October 2020

Akım modlu devrelerin CMOS gerçeklemelerinde, transistörlerin istenmeyen parazitik etkilerinden dolayı devrelerde istenmeyen parazitik empedanslar oluşabilmektedir. Oluşan parazitik empedanslar, sistemin çalışma karakteristiğini değişmesine ve/veya etkilenmesine neden olmaktadır. Parazitik empedansların etkisini azaltabilmek ve sistemi ideal çalışma karakteristiğine yaklaştırabilmek için, devrelerde kullanılan transistörlerin kanal genişlikleri ve kutuplama akımları değiştirilebilir.
Yapılan bu çalışmada, ikinci kuşak akım taşıyıcı devresi üzerindeki parazitik dirençlerin etkilerini azaltabilmek ve terminallere ait bant genişliğini arttırmak için, uygun tasarım parametrelerini tahmin eden bir yapay sinir ağı oluşturulmuştur. Oluşturulan yapay sinir ağı, Elman ağ yapısına sahiptir ve 30 nörona sahip tek gizli katman içermektedir. Yapay sinir ağı eğitilirken 12 farklı eğitim fonksiyonu kullanılmıştır. Eğitimlerde kullanılan veri seti, LTSPICE programı kullanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Veri setinde 9 adet özniteliğe sahip 60 bin veri bulunmaktadır. Verilerin 54 bini eğitimde kullanılırken 6 bin veri test için ayrılmıştır. Yapılan testlerde en ideal sonucu Scaled Conjugate Gradient eğitim algoritması vermiştir. Eğitilen yapay sinir ağının hata oranı, ortalama %4,59 olarak bulunmuştur.

Published: October 2020

Resumo
Com a pandemia de Coronavírus escolas do mundo inteiro foram fechadas impossibilitando as aulas presenciais. Nessa nova perspectiva, o contato dos professores com os alunos passou a ser realizado virtualmente, principalmente a partir de atividades que começaram a ser disponibilizadas online. Nesse texto, apresento uma experiência com a disciplina de artes a partir de atividades remotas para alunos dos Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental. Na realidade da escola onde trabalho não conseguimos que todos os alunos tivessem acesso aos materiais propostos, em contrapartida, ficou evidente a dedicação e a qualidade dos trabalhos dos alunos que receberam e realizaram as atividades. Também foram positivas as trocas de experiências com os colegas professores. Nesse período de quarentena, ficou evidente a potencialidade de uma educação híbrida (MORAN, 2017) na qual o ensino online, combinado ao presencial poderão oportunizar a personalização da aprendizagem e o protagonismo do estudante (BACICH; TANZIN NETO e TREVISANI, 2015).

Published: October 2020

A afetividade está presente nos diversos grupos de relações humanas e inclusive na área escolar. No contexto educacional, pode ajudar ou prejudicar os resultados esperados dependendo dos vínculos estabelecidos. No caso da relação professor/aluno as relações afetivas podem influenciar no processo de aprendizagem e na preferência dos alunos por alguma área do conhecimento. Assim o presente trabalho tem por objetivo fazer reflexões
sobre a importância das relações afetivas no contexto ensino-aprendizagem. Para tanto, considerou-se também o papel do professor como um dos principais pontos. Foi possível perceber durante a pesquisa bibliográfica feita que os teóricos apontam a real necessidade das relações afetivas no ambiente escolar. São essas relações as quais podem determinar o sucesso do educando na escola e, principalmente, em sua vida futura como cidadão que agirá na sociedade para transformá-la. Nesse contexto, é preciso, pois, observar as contribuições para o desenvolvimento intelectual e emocional, e a compreensão dos educadores de que os alunos necessitam de um ambiente acolhedor e humanizado.

Abstract
Objectives: To determine the role of heart fatty acid-binding protein in early detection of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and its comparison with two other cardiac markers.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi, from June 2012 to June 2014, and comprised patients presenting at the emergency department within two hours of chest pain and who were subsequently referred to the cardiology department with a provisional diagnosis of either unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Relevant history was taken on a specific proforma and electrocardiogram as well as routine investigations were done in the emergency department. Blood samples from the subjects were tested for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction through detection of heart fatty acid-binding protein, Troponin-I and Creatine kinase-myocardial band. Sensitivity and specificity of the three markers were calculated keeping coronary angiography as the gold standard. Data was analysed using SPSS 17.
Results: Out of 250 patients, 153(61.2%) were males. The overall mean age was 54.45±13.92 years. Sensitivity and specificity of heart fatty acid-binding protein were 80.6% and 78.5% (p<0.05), for Troponin-I, 37.7% and 75% (p>0.05), and for Creatine Kinase-myocardial band, 29.5% and 67.8% (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Heart fatty acid-binding protein was found to be a good diagnostic tool for the detection of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Published: October 2020

Sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam sebuah organisasi dipandang sebagai human capital (modal) terutama jika dilihat dari posisinya untuk mencapai tujuan organisasi. Begitu pentingnya SDM, sehingga seberapa baguspun fasilitas dan alat yang dimiliki oleh sebuah organisasi tanpa ditunjang dengan SDM, maka akan menjadi sia-sia juga. Kinerja seorang pegawai dalam sebuah organisasi menjadi sesuatu yang penting guna menunjang keberhasilan sebuah organisasi. Pegawai atau karyawan yang kinerjanya bagus atau optimal tentunya akan memudahkan organisasi dalam mencapai sasarannya, begitupun sebaliknya. Salah satu pilar institusi kesehatan yang diharapkan memberikan kontribusi besar untuk mencapai tujuan pembangunan kesehatan tersebut adalah rumah sakit, salah satu komponen yang ada dalam suatu rumah sakit adalah bidan, maka pengelolaan individu-individu bidan yang ada dalam sebuah rumah sakit menjadi sesuatu yang penting agar supaya rumah sakit juga dapat berkontribusi dalam pembangunan kesehatan. Pengelolaan bidan diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kinerja yang tentunya juga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan derajat kesehatan masyarakat, khususnya Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak (KIA).

Published: October 2020

Purpose: the main objective of the study was to assess male partner involvement in long term contraceptive uptake among selected couples in Murang’a county central Kenya
Methodology: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data collection tools were Interviewer administered - Semi Structured Questionnaires, Key Informant interviews guide and Focused Group Discussions guide .Pre-test of Instruments was done at Othaya Sub County in Nyeri. Eligible couples were systematically sampled using the EPI spatial sampling methods adopted by WHO for use in low income countries Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 software. Descriptive statistics, chi square, binary and multiple logistic regressions was computed. Those variables that were significant at P-value ≤ 0.05 were entered into multivariate analysis. The odds ratio was calculated to assess the association and strength of association of variables. P-value < 0.05 was taken as a cut point. Qualitative data was triangulated with the quantitative data to enhance validity and reliability of the study findings.
Findings: Majority of couples interviewed (73%) reported being in a long-term relationship Most participants (61%) cited male involvement as male partner participation and contribution, which they believed was important in family planning services utilization. Whereas most women(57%) reported that the partner’s permission was not necessary and the decision to use any family planning method was their own, key informant indicated that despite receiving information about benefits of long-term family planning method, many women remained (53%) reluctant to undergo some procedures without first obtaining their partners permission. Most of the male partners(51%) were not willing to undergo vasectomy as they equated it with castration and the stigma which was to accompany the tag.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: There is need to increase the level of knowledge and awareness among male partners on long term family planning methods and their benefits. Future research should explore the feasibility and effectiveness of engaging male partners in utilization of long-term family planning methods

Nuevos patrones de migración centroamericana a Estados Unidos: La caravana en Piedras Negras, Coahuila, México, 2019
Authors: Uribe-Salas Felipe Javier , Parra Ávila Juan , Mayo Carrillo Juan Felipe 
Published: October 2020

El objetivo de la investigación fue caracterizar socio-demográficamente a integrantes de la caravana de migrantes centroamericanos en Piedras Negras, Coahuila. Metodológicamente se aplicó un cuestionario a una muestra de 540 personas, con la información se realizó un análisis descriptivo e inferencial cuyas variables fueron estratificadas por sexo. Se encontró una población joven, con 2.5 hombres por cada mujer, originarios principalmente de Honduras, con escolaridad dominante de primaria, principalmente solteros, con ocupaciones que en su mayoría no requieren formación escolar. Las mujeres tienden, en mayor proporción que los hombres, a viajar acompañadas, con dos o más personas, con un mayor número de menores, con un mayor número de familiares,con su pareja y con hijos. La principal razón de salir de su país fue la falta de trabajo, la mayoría viaja a Estados Unidos (EU) por primera vez, tenían familiares en EU en más de la mitad de los casos, más de dos tercios buscaba solicitar asilo en EU y la gran mayoría no tenía el deseo de regresar a su país de origen.
En conclusión, asistimos a una nueva estrategia de la migración centroamericana hacia EU a través de México que, en términos socio-demográficos, apoya la hipótesis de una teoría expulsora por razones económicas y de seguridad. Se plantean nuevas estrategias con enfoque de género para realizar un viaje más seguro y muestra que existe un objetivo claro de viajar hacia EU con pocos casos para residir en México o para regresar al país de origen.
Open Access: An analysis of European publisher copyright and licensing policies today
Authors: Labastida i Juan Ignasi 
Published: October 2020

The digital age has brought authors of publications many more opportunities to gain further impact and visibility by sharing their work online through websites, pre-print servers, repositories, publishing platforms or other digital venues as well as journals. Publisher copyright policies have not always been enablers of these new practices but change is underway. Europe has also seen a surge in international, national and local Open Access (OA) policies in recent years, a significant one being Plan S with its requirements related to rights retention and open licensing. How far are publishers in supporting authors in this change?
In early 2020 SPARC Europe commissioned a report to gain a better understanding of current copyright and licensing practices amongst scholarly journal publishers based in Europe and how these are presented to academic authors. The key purpose of the study was to provide evidence on how publisher policies support OA and to see whether the complexity of the copyright and self-archiving landscape amongst publishers has simplified over time. We also explored how Plan S-ready publishers were with regards to the first principle of their policy related to authors or their institutions being required to retain copyright to their publications, calling for all publications to be published under an open license, preferably CC BY, immediately and under no embargo.
Research was undertaken on various levels: the 2020 study reviewed the copyright, self-archiving and open licensing policies from 10 large legacy publisher websites and then asked these publishers to verify these findings. We also analysed the policies of pure open access journals in Europe from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). To limit the scope, Europe was taken as the focus of this research.
This paper will firstly demonstrate how diversely publishers present and share information on their copyright, licensing and self-archiving policies and how challenging this can be for authors and the institutions that support them. We will also share findings on the specifics of publisher policies be they hybrid or pure OA. For example, examining how far large publishers currently allow authors to retain publishing rights for articles, to what extent they allow zero embargoes when self-archiving or how far pure OA journals use the CC BY license.
This paper ends by making a number of recommendations to publishers, research funders, institutions and authors to ultimately support authors to more easily navigate this policy landscape and to be able to publish immediate OA.
Why should we care about FAIR?
Authors: Harrower Natalie 
Published: October 2020

For a long while, Open Access to publications was the key focus of the Open Science agenda, but suddenly, everyone is talking about data and other research outputs. What are these? Why should we pay attention to them? What’s the difference between FAIR data and Open data, and why should scholars care about any of this? These are the kinds of questions that have been floating around as funders like the European Commission start to mandate the sharing of data, software, and other outputs that support publications. And while the drive towards FAIR sharing is meant to be applied across all research domains and disciplines, the discussion often focuses on ‘big data’ or data from the natural sciences, collected in laboratories or processed on high performance super computers. Where does this leave humanities scholars? What kinds of data and other research outputs are created here? What considerations are particular to the humanities?
In February 2020, after an open consultation process that received over 200 comments plus a number of multi-page submissions, ALLEA published “Sustainable and FAIR Data Sharing in the Humanities: Recommendations of the ALLEA E-Humanities Working Group. https://doi.org/10.7486/DRI.tq582c863. The report is structured around the research data lifecycle, providing concrete recommendations for sustainable FAIR sharing. This talk will highlight some of the key challenges faced by humanities scholars in this realm, look to where alliances can be built outside of academia, and dive into the dissemination possibilities that are created through the FAIR sharing of humanities research data.
