Authors: Gomez Frederick Ray 
Published: December 2019

The technical paper discusses the reduction of high leakage current failures of semiconductor IC (integrated circuit) packages by eliminating the ESD (electrostatic discharge) events during assembly process and ensuring the appropriate machine grounding and ESD controls.Â It is imperative to reduce or ideally eliminate the leakage current failures of the device to ensure the product quality, especially as the market becomes more challenging and demanding.Â After implementation of the corrective and improvement actions, high leakage current occurrence was reduced from baseline of 5784 ppm to 1567 ppm, better than the six sigma goal of 4715 ppm.
The Demand for Primary Health Care Service in Nigeria: New Evidence from Facility Determinants
Authors: Osakede Uche Abamba 
Published: December 2019

Despite high distribution of Primary Health Care Centres (PHC) and low cost of care provision, patronage is low in Nigeria. Findings for the determinants of health care demand are one sided with focus on patient related factors. Less attention is given to facility determinants. This study examined facility determinants of the demand for PHC service in Nigeria using basic infrastructures, equipment and staff type.Â The 2013-2014 SDI data covering 11,690 primary health care facilities was used. The Negative Binomial regression model was fitted to determine the effects of facility factors on number of visits. The results show more community workers and paraprofessionals and few medical Doctors and Nurses in PHCâ€™s. Facilities are equipped with weighing scales, sphygmomanometer and stethoscope with few thermometer. High staff absence rate, lack of improved water source and non-regular power supply are also observed.Â Findings associate presence of Nurses with increased number of visits than other staff type.Â Child weighing scale, regular power supply and improved water are also key positive determinants. Better use of PHCâ€™s in Nigeria is possible with medical personnel especially nurses in employment. Improved water, regular power and instruments like child weighing scale are also vital.

Published: December 2019

O turismo é uma das atividades econômicas brasileiras que vem se destacando por apresentar crescimento constante, principalmente nas regiões do litoral, contribuindo para impulsionar o desenvolvimento e a economia local, sendo ainda um setor promissor para a implementação de práticas da sustentabilidade no ambiente construído. No Estado do Espírito Santo (Brasil), esta atividade atrai a população tanto nos períodos de verão como em outros específicos relacionados às festividades típicas locais. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar os indicadores utilizados nas ferramentas de avaliação de sustentabilidade que efetivamente apontem os elementos impulsionadores da sustentabilidade em balneários turísticos utilizando como estudo de casos os balneários do tipo Suburbano do Estado do Espírito Santo. Com base na fundamentação teórica e no levantamento documental foi possível caracterizá-los nos principais aspectos relacionados ao conceito de sustentabilidade no ambiente construído. Como principal resultado, destacou-se como elemento impulsionador da sustentabilidade o aproveitamento dos recursos naturais do ambiente construído, como por exemplo, o amplo uso da ventilação e iluminação naturais, bem como de materiais locais. Os indicadores impulsionadores foram categorizados nas quatro dimensões da sustentabilidade — ambiental, social, econômico e cultural —, sendo também classificados de acordo com os níveis de abrangência, seja na escala do edifício, da vizinhança ou da região.
Monumental e doméstico: uma leitura do setor central de Goiânia através da fotografia | Monumental and domestic: a perusal of Goiânia’s neighbourhood of setor central through photography

Published: December 2019

Esse artigo objetiva analisar algumas fotografias históricas da cidade de Goiânia, que demonstram o contraste entre a almejada escala monumental, sublinhada em seu plano original, e a configuração doméstica decorrente da implantação dos edifícios. A partir do uso da imagem fotográfica como instrumento metodológico de análise historiográfica, serão levantados alguns aspectos morfológicos, paisagísticos e históricos, que se referem à dicotomia entre a escala monumental e doméstica, presente em seu núcleo inicial. Busca-se também, compreender como as fotografias utilizadas para divulgar a imagem da cidade, nos primeiros anos de sua existência, representam essa relação. As imagens escolhidas foram pensadas tendo por temas: a formação, a construção e a consolidação do espaço urbano e o início da transformação do Setor Central. Foram selecionadas sete figuras, que perpassam registros da Praça Cívica e das principais avenidas que compõem o traçado urbano de Goiânia, enfocando as primeiras edificações e espaços urbanos da capital. O referencial teórico utilizado para a leitura das imagens abarca as reflexões desenvolvidas por Ana Maria Mauad, Lígia Maria Tavares da Silva e Letícia Castilhos Coelho, acerca das interfaces entre fotografia, história e memória urbana.

O artigo discute a inserção do idoso na perspectiva do envelhecimento ativo e saudável nos espaços públicos da cidade contemporânea. Apresenta a avaliação do uso dos espaços públicos por pessoas com 60 anos ou mais em duas áreas públicas que foram objeto de intervenção urbanística recente na cidade de São Paulo: Praça Victor Civita, região oeste, com predominância de população de média e alta rendas; e Parque Linear Cantinho do Céu, região sul, com predominância de população de renda baixa. A metodologia de avaliação envolve a aplicação de um questionário fechado para o universo de 35 pessoas acima de 60 anos, em cada área, que aborda os seguintes aspectos: (1) Acessibilidade Física; (2) Estrutura para Permanência; (3) Atividades; (4) Interação Social; (5) Espaço e Bem-estar. Os resultados apontam que os espaços públicos analisados produzem uma percepção pessoal positiva perante o envelhecimento dentre os entrevistados, com ênfase nos aspectos de: saúde, independência e autonomia. Contudo, alguns aspectos negativos, como poucas atividades planejadas para pessoas com 60 anos ou mais e baixa manutenção destas localidades, indicam a necessidade de maior atenção de políticas públicas voltadas para o envelhecimento da população.

Vida de Adil. Una creación del Laboratorio Escénico: Universo Inestables
Authors: Mrakić Angelina , Hernández Vargas David 
Published: November 2019

Reseña de arte que comparte la experiencia escultórica en relación con las artes vivas plasmado en el Espacio Teatro Contemporáneo (ETC) de creación escénica de la sala teatral Cuarta Pared en su convocatoria del año 2018. Bajo la premisa de crear a partir de “historias de vida” se desarrolla la puesta en escena, Vida de Adil, desde la hibridación de diversos lenguajes siendo las esculturas de David González-Carpio Alcaraz principales protagonistas.La escultura figurativa y el cuerpo escultórico del actor se unen en el punto de indistinción - la figura se convierte en un cuerpo vivo, y el cuerpo vivo en un cuerpo maraña. Este juego de reducir un personaje a su cuerpo y posteriormente a una figura, escultura inmóvil, nos lleva a pensar en la desmaterialización del ser como reacción a los procesos de consumo de la sociedad capitalista, y a su vez en la resultante de esos procesos relacionados con el verbo reflexivo consumirse. Dentro de este contexto se establece una resonancia entre el cuerpo del actor y escultórico. En la relación y manipulación de las figuras existe prolongación y afección. De ese diálogo nace una narrativa que va más allá de la ilustración. El cuerpo del actor por momentos se funde con las esculturas para deformar, deconstruir, y simbolizar a aquellos cuerpos objetos mecanizados, animados, y los cuerpos marionetas vivos, portadores de los síntomas de nuestra época.
How to Develop True Care: Three Interviews with Nel Noddings
Authors: Yokota Masao , Douglass Clarissa , Noddings Nel 
Published: December 2019

In these three interviews conducted in 2011, 2012 and 2016 and then translated for Japanese language publications, Nel Noddings discusses care ethics, today’s educational practices vis-à-vis her recent books, as well as how she and her husband Jim raised their ten children. The first two interviews appeared in Seikyo Shimbun, the daily newspaper for Soka Gakkai, a Buddhist lay organization based on the practice and study of Nichiren (1222-1282). The third interview appeared in Ushio, a monthly magazine aimed at a general audience. Providing a backdrop for the interviews is common ground found in the work of education philosophers John Dewey (1859-1952) and Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944). In 1930, Makiguchi founded Soka Gakkai’s forerunner, Soka Kyoiku Gakkai, comprised of teachers and educators actively promoting education reform in Japan as advocated in Makiguchi’s The System of Value-Creating Pedagogy (1930).
Rural, Poor and Mapuche: A Window into the Power of Caring Education
Authors: Puga Rosita 
Published: December 2019

This article goes deep into the process of turning around a marginal and precarious school, into one with high quality learning results and an ethos of caring and competence that echoes and celebrates the life, insight and work of Nel Noddings, in particular her 17 years of teaching and leadership in elementary and high schools, and her philosophical work on the ethics of caring and its implications for education.
The article gives an account of the context, process and results of the radical transformation of a rural school serving a Mapuche community in the south of Chile, which in 2007 had the worst learning results of the country. A decade later, against all the odds of territorial isolation, socio-economic poverty and cultural distance from the mainstream, the school is consistently achieving results equivalent to the average of upper middle status schools in the main cities of highly urbanized Chile. At the heart of the change is ambitious and effective teaching that both cares and is able to help students substantially grow in terms of their fundamental skills. The article examines the forces and actors involved, the concepts, moral orientation, means and strategies through which they acted, and the time-scale of the project.
William Pinar Responding to Elliot Eisner
Authors: Murillo Fernando , Pinar William 
Published: December 2019

The paper that follows was read by William Pinar in 1976 at the Curriculum Conference in Milwaukee (United States). It is a response to a paper presented by Elliot Eisner titled “The Curriculum Field Today: Where we, Where we were, and Where we are Going”.
From a perspective of intellectual history, I claim that it is with this paper that Pinar provoked a turning point in the field of curriculum studies, one that brought the focus of attention back to the subjectively existing individual at the center of educational experience and opened the way for a more careful and dedicated consideration of the problem of subjective reconstruction.
While this notion was foreshadowed by Huebner, it is in this presentation that Pinar articulates clearly the importance of the concrete subject: a flesh and blood person appears. In this sense, the field of curriculum studies returns, however inadvertently at this point, to the continental views on education as formation.
АЛЕЛЬНИЙ ПОЛІМОРФІЗМ СИСТЕМИ HLA У ХВОРИХ НА ХРОНІЧНУ МІЄЛОЇДНУ ЛЕЙКЕМІЮ З е13а2 та е14а2 ТРАНСКРИПТАМИ ГЕНА BCR/ABL1

To study the associative relation of polymorphic HLA gene variants and BCR/ABL1 transcript types in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) 87 CML patients were examined. 42 patients had e13a2 BCR/ABL1 transcript and 45 patients had e14a2 BCR/ABL1 transcript. The prevalence of the genes allelic variants of major histocompatibility complex was analyzed and the association coefficients for the disease risk depending on the presence of certain types of BCR/ABL1 transcripts were calculated.
Unconditional markers of increased risk of CML (HLA-DRB1*11) and markers of resistance to CML (HLA-A*03) were highlighted. The allele frequencies of HLA-A*03, HLA-A*68, HLA-B*08, HLA-B*15, HLA-B*40, HLA-DRB1*04, DQB1*06 were significantly reduced and allele frequencies of HLA-DRB1*12 and DRB1*11 were increased in patients with the e13a2 transcript compared to healthy people. The allele frequencies of HLA-A*03, HLA-A*11, HLA-B*08, HLA-B*14, HLA-B*40, HLA-DRB1*04 and DQB1* 03 were significantly reduced and the allele frequency of HLA-DRB1*11 was significantly increased in patients with e14a2 transcript compared to healthy persons. Thus, the individual analysis of the complex of fusion proteins e13a2 and e14a2 and HLA alleles in CML patients could indicate the additive effect of both molecular structures joint carrier for CML developing risk.

In this study, a simple and reliable stability-indicating RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the analysis of Nystatin in the pharmaceuticals. The chromatographic separation was performed in the isocratic mode on an Ion Pac column; Arcus EP‑C18; 5μm, 4.6×250 mm, 30 °C) using a mobile phase consisting of ammonium acetate 0.05 M buffer/ Methanol mixture (30:70) and a flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min with UV detection at 305 nm. The flow rate was set at 1.0 mL/min. The HPLC analysis method was validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The results indicated that the retention time was 8 min, and no interferences were observed from the formulation excipients and stress degradation products. The specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, LOD, and LOQ of the method were validated. The method was linear over the range of 5–500 μg/mL with an acceptable correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9996). The method’s limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.01 and 0.025 μg/mL, respectively. The results indicate that this validated method can be used as an alternative method for the assay of nystatin. This validated HPLC method could be used for routine analysis, quality control, and the stability of analysis of Nystatin formulations.
