Objetivo: analisar a aquisição de conhecimento sobre diabetes em reeducandas de uma cadeia pública feminina de Mato Grosso, após ação educativa. Método: Estudo experimental, em que 52 reeducandas foram submetidas a aplicação de questionário semiestruturado, seguido de ciclo de ação educativa por 30 min e reaplicação do questionário após sete dias. A estatística inferencial foi realizada por meio do Teste de Wilcoxon. Resultados: Foi demonstrado um maior conhecimento sobre a relação entre a genética do indivíduo e o desenvolvimento da doença, entre alimentação saudável e desenvolvimento de diabetes, entre obesidade e hipertensão com diabetes e tratamentos existentes e diferença no tratamento do tipo I e II diabetes. As internas também expandiram seus conhecimentos sobre sinais e sintomas e problemas visuais como uma das complicações dos pacientes com diabetes. No entanto, não houve aumento no conhecimento sobre a existência de cura e preocupação com o desenvolvimento de diabetes. Conclusão: A efetividade da atividade educativa foi observada devido à ampliação do conhecimento anterior, o que possibilita direcionar as atividades assistenciais e preventivas às reeducandas e reduzir as vulnerabilidades a que estão expostas.
ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT: CONTRIBUTION OF DESIGN IN THE FIELD OF CLOTHING
Authors: Süller Zor Başak , VURUŞKAN Arzu 
Published: December 2019

According to data of World Health Organization, it was estimated that 253
million were visually impaired worldwide
in 2017 (WHO, 2017). For those with moderate to total
blindness and visual impairment, daily activities such as mobility,
communication, education, clothing and shopping cannot be carried out
independently. Assistive technologies (AT) offer solutions to contribute to the
quality of life of those with visual impairments. Considering the daily
obstacles faced by such individuals, as a prior step for
design development of alternative ATs, this paper includes an overview of ATs. Since
this overview addresses a lack of applications in clothing related AT, the
following survey aims to acquire feedback from people with visual impairment,
focusing on clothing related issues, with the aim of making improvements in design.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: the colours of flowers are a result of secondary metabolites that have long been used in the medical and textile industries, and those that are halochromic are used in colour display because they change color according to pH changes, but many species are yet to be studied in detail. Objective: to explore the halochromic properties and the antimicrobial potentials of the crude extracts of several ornamental plants. Methods: we used aqueous and organic solvents to extract pigments from petals of five fascinating flowers planted around International Institute of Tropical Agriculture station, Cotonou, Benin: Allamanda blanchetii, Cascabela thevetia, Eichhornia crassipes, Ixora casei and Thunbergia erecta, followed by an investigation into their halochromic properties. Antibacterial potentials of the extracts were tested on important rice pathogens: Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, and Pantoea agglomerans, which are gram-negative bacteria; and on Bacillus subtilis, a gram-positive bacterium. Results: The crude extracts of T. erecta and A. blanchetii have good halochromic properties within pH 2 – 12, exhibiting distinct colours. The chromophores of the C. thevetia, E. crassipes, and I. casei are not halochromic as the colours of the crude extracts remain the same at the pH range except pH 12 which is similar for the five extracts. Crude extracts of T. erecta inhibited growth of P. agglomerans without development of resistance, whereas the bacteria developed resistance against Penicillin after 18 hrs of incubation. T. erecta and A. blanchetii were able to inhibit growth of X. oryzae and both inhibited B. subtilis. Conclusion: Pigments from both T. erecta and A. blanchetii are good pH indicators; however, T. erecta is a better antibacterial agent than A. blanchetii because it has broad-spectrum activities against bacteria.

Using Fixed Wages for Management Control: An Intra-Firm Test of the Effect of Relative Compensation on Performance
Authors: Hesford James W. , Mangin Nicolas , Pizzini Mina 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
Efficiency wage theory predicts employers can elicit better employee performance ex post by paying higher fixed compensation ex ante, relative to the market wage. Relative compensation may thereby constitute an alternative control mechanism when performance-based compensation is difficult to implement. Using proprietary data from 436 hotels in a U.S. lodging chain, we find that relative compensation is positively associated with performance, and additional profits associated with higher compensation exceed the wage increase. Relative compensation has a larger impact on profit when tasks are more complex and a smaller impact on profit, revenue, and quality when chain monitoring is stronger. Finally, the magnitude of the relation between relative compensation and financial performance (nonfinancial) is larger (the same) for employees earning more than the median wage compared with those earning less. Overall, our results are consistent with assertions that higher relative compensation attracts more capable candidates and mitigates shirking, but provide little support for reciprocity.

Portfolios come full circle in the world of work
Authors: Hoeppner Kristina , Quiding Janine , Laidlaw Miriam , Parker Tabitha 
Published: December 2019

Electronic portfolios become increasingly visible in the workplace. Students graduate with portfolios and are in a good position to continue with portfolio practices. Additionally, organizational or professional competency frameworks and registration requirements lend themselves to be evidenced by portfolios. Waitematā District Health Board, the largest in Aotearoa New Zealand, piloted an electronic portfolio at the end of 2018 with 90 nurses and started implementing the new ePortfolio organisation-wide for nurses in 2019.
In this presentation, we will provide an overview of the pilot and position it within the organisation's commitment to learning and development. We will outline the advantages for all involved: nurses, peers, managers, and assessors, and discuss the challenges and future directions for the initiative.
Early results indicate that the portfolios allow for a shift in conversation with staff and in the development of practice. They encourage nurses to consider additional training and studies to advance in their careers and have the evidence available to discuss with their manager to set clear goals.
The nurses go full circle: They started out with their studies, became professionals, and are going back to university for postgraduate studies documenting their learning in portfolios along the way. Portfolios in this context support lifelong learning and make that learning visible to the individual nurses and their organisation.

Authors: GHINEA Laura 
Published: December 2019

Little Aristotle - Ethical Virtues Workshop. Inspired by Nicomachean Ethics, the project aims to seed virtuous consistent attitudes in children, as part of their moral enculturation process, understood as a coherent set of knowledge, criteria, and capacities of moral judgment. Character’s dispositions like courage, generosity, friendship, correctness or gentleness were aimed to be cultivated by activating non-formal educational methods, anchored in real life and adapted to children’s stage of development. The activities and conclusions of this workshop are presented in this article, which the main purpose is to find a place for Aristotelian ethics in nowadays moral education for children, to highlight the need for an appropriate moral pedagogy, that takes into account children’s capacities of understanding and to inspire ethicists and moral trainers in their work.
THE HEAD OF JANUS: HERMENEUTICS AND DECONSTRUCTION IN GADAMER AND DERRIDA BETWEEN AGREEMENT AND DISAGREEMENT
Authors: VENEZIA Simona 
Published: December 2019

The Head of Janus: Hermeneutics and Deconstruction in Gadamer and Derrida between Agreement and Disagreement. The paper aims to discuss the complexity of the relationship between Gadamer’s Hermeneutics and Derrida’s Deconstruction in order to remove the usual opposition between these two thinkers and their philosophical perspectives. It is possible to build a collaboration against every idealistic and subjectivist foundation moving from the hermeneutic-deconstructive interaction between the concepts of identity and difference, understanding and sense, writing and reading etc. Only in this way can the so-called improbable debate become an un-interrupted dialogue: the distance ceases to be an insuperable obstacle and becomes an openness of sense.
LEFTIST CRITIQUE OR FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY? ‟CONTIMPORANUL” COVERING THE TRIAL FROM DEALUL SPIRII
Authors: FAUR Emilia 
Published: December 2019

Leftist Critique or Fight for Democracy? Contimporanul Covering the Trial from Dealul Spirii. The general knowledge about the political dimension of the Romanian historical avant-garde places the groups on the left of the political spectrum. However, there is little work on what this means precisely when it comes to the concrete historical situations. It may well be that Contimporanul, the main press organ of the avant-garde supported a political agenda of socialist origin, but what does it mean specifically? In order to give a complete historical-intellectual picture of the Romanian avant-garde, specifically of Contimporanul, one must also account for the first couple of years of its appearance, when it published a large number of political opinion articles, written mainly by the same authors that would become central for the artistic movement as well. We aim to fill this gap in the scholar writings by giving a detailed account of the reactions found in the pages of Contimporanul related to the political events of that time, notably those that involved the socialist movement. The case in point is the Trial of Dealul Spirii and the alleged political assassinations against socialist leaders committed or condoned by the state authorities. The overall image of the political ideology of Contimporanul from those years shows rather a marked democratic attitude towards the events, and a great deal of journalistic objectivity behind the attacks against the liberal establishment.
A Classical Geometric Relationship That Reveals The Golden Link in Nature
Authors: K. Rajput Chetansing 
Published: December 2019

This paper introduces the perfect complementary relationship between the 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle and the 1:2: right-angled triangle. The classical geometric intimacy between these two right triangles not only provides for the ultimate geometric substantiation of Golden Ratio, but it also reveals the fundamental Pi: Phi correlation (π: φ), with an extreme level of precision, and which is firmly based upon the classical geometric principles.

Numerical Study of Dynamic Behaviors of Concrete Under Various Strain Rates
Authors: An H.M. , Liu L. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractAs the dynamic behavior of the concrete is different from that under static load, this research focuses on the study of dynamic responses of concrete by simulating the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test. Finite element code LS-DYNA is used for modeling the dynamic behaviors of concrete. Three continuous models are reviewed and the Holmquist-Johnson-Cook model (HJC) is introduced in detail. The HJC model which has been implemented in LS-DYNA is used to represent the concrete properties. The SHPB test model is established and a few stress waves are applied to the incident bar to simulate the dynamic concrete behaviors. The stress-strain curves are obtained. The stress distributions are analyzed. The crack initiation and propagation process are described. It is concluded that: the HJC model can modeling the entire process of the fracture initiation and fragmentation; the compressive of the concrete is significantly influenced by the strain rates.

AbstractThe paper presents an analysis of the behaviour of bent reinforced concrete beams strengthened with CFRP laminates fixed with adhesive before and after unloading, and more importantly, an analysis of the work of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with pre-stressed CFRP laminates fixed with adhesive. The analyses were based on a moment-curvature model prepared by the author for reinforced concrete beams strengthened under load with pre-stressed CFRP laminates. The model was used to determine the effect of compression with CFRP laminates and their mechanical properties on the effectiveness of strengthening the reinforced concrete beams analysed in this study.
Accuracy of Merging Point Clouds at the Maximum Range of a Scanner with Limited Possibilities of Target Placement
Authors: Lenda G. , Lewińska P. , Siwiec J. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe research was aimed at analysing the factors that affect the accuracy of merging point clouds when scanning over longer distances. Research takes into account the limited possibilities of target placement occurring while scanning opposite benches of quarries or open-pit mines, embankments from opposite banks of rivers etc. In all these cases, there is an obstacle/void between the scanner and measured object that prevents the optimal location of targets and enlarging scanning distances. The accuracy factors for cloud merging are: the placement of targets relative to the scanner and measured object, the target type and instrument range. Tests demonstrated that for scanning of objects with lower accuracy requirements, over long distances, it is optimal to choose flat targets for registration. For objects with higher accuracy requirements, scanned from shorter distances, it is worth selecting spherical targets. Targets and scanned object should be on the same side of the void.

Published: December 2019

AbstractConstruction and demolition (C&D) waste management should be accordance with the waste management hierarchy. In practice, C&D waste are often downcycling. It is the result of many factors, including lack of awareness about the value inherent in waste. The paper presents analysis of the adaptability of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for technical assessment of waste properties. As part of the work, non-destructive testing methods were described and classified in accordance with material and the features they enable testing. The publication presents examples of the use of NDT in the recovery of building materials during construction projects, in the field of influence of technical information of waste on the way it is managed. Finally, a scheme of waste management process during the renovation of an object with the application of NDT methods was presented.

Authors: Kirjanen Aleksandr , Samodurov Alexandr , Labudin Alexandr 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The goal of the article is to show how bankruptcy of an enterprise appears. Therefore, the generalised balance equation of financial and economic activity of the enterprise is considered. Graphs of two main characteristics of risk management are given. The conditions under which the income and expense curves can re-intersect are given. From this moment the bankruptcy procedure of the enterprise begins. There are four stages through which the company must pass until it is declared bankrupt. It is also indicated how zones of permissible, critical and catastrophic risks arise. On the basis of business speed and investment profitability, a table of SWOT analysis of financial improvements of the enterprise is built. Four strategies of economic security and possible risks are also considered. An example of one of the methods of financial recovery of the enterprise using intermediate risky activities is given. By means of calculations it is shown that long participation in risky business, can bring both the considerable income, and lead to almost complete loss of the capital. The conclusion is made: it is necessary to leave risky business in time.
Traffic Routing Algorithm for Road Network
Authors: Farhan Mhnd 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Nobody in this world wants to be held hostage in a traffic jam for hours and hours. The need to have efficient traffic flow in our roads cannot be overemphasized. It is in this understanding that this paper delves into the study and implementation of a suitable algorithm for traffic routing. The implementation is based on graph theory, where a road network map is first converted to a graph with nodes and edges where the edges represent the roads and the nodes represent the various road intersections. The roads are given various weights depending on their distance and traffic density, and the time a motorist would take to move from one point to another is estimated. A suitable routing algorithm, which in this case is the Dijkstra’s algorithm is applied on the weighted graph.

Abstract
Nowadays sports success has become more than improving technique, medicine has long been a complementary science technology that improved sports performance. In our study we analyzed the importance of functional training in the military pentathlon at the 50 m swimming with obstacles. The scientific methods used were the observation method and also the experiment method in which we tested two samples of military students both consisted in 30 students with the age between 18-22 years old, the first group were the experiment group that practice the military pentathlon and the second group – the control group – were simple military students. The results showed significant statistical differences between the experiment group compared with the control group at the final testing, the students from the experiment group had better results in the respiratory rate and vital capacity both compared with the control group and also between the initial and final test. Conclusions of the research showed that the training program implemented at the experiment group has improved significant from the initial to the final test and also compared with the control group.
Logit business failure prediction in V4 countries
Authors: Durica Marek , Valaskova Katarina , Janoskova Katarina 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The paper presents the creation of the model that predicts the business failure of companies operating in V4 countries. Based on logistic regression analysis, significant predictors are identified to forecast potential business failure one year in advance. The research is based on the data set of financial indicators of more than 173 000 companies operating in V4 countries for the years 2016 and 2017. A stepwise binary logistic regression approach was used to create a prediction model. Using a classification table and ROC curve, the prediction ability of the final model was analysed. The main result is a model for business failure prediction of companies operating under the economic conditions of V4 countries. Statistically significant financial parameters were identified that reflect the impending failure situation. The developed model achieves a high prediction ability of more than 88%. The research confirms the applicability of the logistic regression approach in business failure prediction. The high predictive ability of the created model is comparable to models created by especially sophisticated artificial intelligence approaches. The created model can be applied in the economies of V4 countries for business failure prediction one year in advance, which is important for companies as well as all stakeholders.
