A estruturação do saber para o reconhecimento das superfícies complexas da obra Disney Concert Hall
Authors: Pires Janice , Cybis Pereira Alice Theresinha 
Published: December 2019

A arquitetura contemporânea dos últimos 20 anos tem se caracterizado pela adoção de geometrias de grande complexidade, fundamentadas em um senso estético/formal, no seu desempenho estrutural e de conforto ambiental, ou até mesmo nas técnicas presentes em dispositivos computacionais, as quais facilitam a proposição pelos arquitetos de tais geometrias. A presença desta realidade nos escritórios de arquitetura delimitou um problema didático para as escolas, relativa à preparação do futuro profissional de arquitetura para enfrentar esta realidade. Tal problema passa pela conscientização e conhecimento sobre as formas criadas em tais processos projetuais, apontando para a inclusão nos currículos das faculdades de arquitetura de propostas didáticas que possibilitem uma ampla interação entre os fundamentos arquitetônicos presentes em tais geometrias complexas, relativos aos seus elementos teóricos, as técnicas e tecnologias de representação gráfica (como a modelagem paramétrica) e de construção. Identificou-se que a Teoria Antropológica da Didática, advinda da área da didática da matemática, poderia apoiar um processo de explicitação da estrutura de saber relativa a tais geometrias e os seus processos de modelagem paramétrica. Com isto, buscou-se explicitar didaticamente o saber envolvido em um conjunto de superfícies matemáticas adotadas na arquitetura contemporânea, a partir dos exemplos de obras analisadas por autores de referência. Visando alcançar o objetivo didático, estruturou-se uma rede de conceitos (retirado para não identificação) relativa à estrutura integral do saber envolvido na geometria de tais obras de arquitetura e, neste trabalho, relata-se a estruturação de tal saber para as superfícies matemáticas da obra Disney Concert Hall, de Gehry & Partners. O reconhecimento dos elementos de saber relativos a tal geometria permitiu não apenas compreendê-la em maior profundidade, mas também questionar e até mesmo refutar algumas caracterizações dadas por autores que analisam a arquitetura contemporânea sob o aspecto da geometria. Um estudo científico, desenvolvido pelo fundador do centro de tecnologia do escritório que projetou as superfícies da obra, tornou possível redefinir esta geometria e, ao mesmo tempo, forneceu subsídios para traçarem-se discussões sobre a importância de tal saber para o ensino de arquitetura.
Embedded Information Literacy Instruction in the Mobile Environment: A Case Study
Authors: Guo Jinchi , Zhu Han 
Published: December 2019

Information literacy instruction in various countries has expanded in a variety of ways. At universities, it has mainly taken the form of credit-based courses, lectures, and embedded instruction. While European and American universities carry out more embedded instruction, universities in China focus more on credit-based courses and lectures, leaving embedded instruction in an exploratory stage. This paper is a preliminary study of a research project that aims to investigate the department-based, embedded information literacy instruction among the libraries of 42 "Double-First Class" universities in China. Using East China Normal University Library as an example, this paper discusses the teaching mode, teaching philosophy, teaching design, teaching methods and contents in order to explore how embedded information literacy instruction can make use of the mobile Internet platform. The specific areas to be examined include teaching resources, enhancing classroom interactions, and after-class feed-pushing as part of teaching support. Finally, some recommendations are put forward for the extension and expansion of embedded information literacy instruction.
Scholastic Assessment of Insurance Productiveness from the Marketing Perspective
Authors: Affran Samuel 
Published: December 2019

The Ghanaian insurance industry is on “life supporting machine” finding it very difficult to attract potential customers to patronize their services. Existing customers are also not loyal at all the reasons am yet to unravel. Individuals as well as organizations lack the interest of investing their scares resources in the insurance industry. Thus managers in this spectrum have to make it a point to constantly seek new ways to improve their services with the strategic intent of “loyalising” the hard won customers. It’s in the light of this that, this study is undertaken to examine whether relationship marketing strategies can be one of the assured ways of developing loyal customers. Again to ascertain how trust influence these relationship marketing strategies and customer loyalty. The population of the study is of some section of insurance subscribers in the greater Accra and central regional part of Ghana. Hypotheses of the study were analyzed using correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to respondents. The researcher theorizes and investigates that there are high positive correlation between the four underlying constructs of relationship marketing and customer loyalty. The results of this study again indicated that all the independent variables (communication, competence, commitment and bonding) have a positive significant impact on (dependent variable) customer loyalty through trust as the mediating variable. Managers are to note that the propensity to create customer loyalty depends on the level of trust they have built with its customers. Thus, the focus should be on investing in the customer’s trust which will subsequently lead to customer loyalty. Management of insurance services are to note that the findings provides a more reliable and empirical measure for describing and evaluating the level of their customer loyal with the services they deliver. It again provides empirical support for strategic decisions in several critical areas of their operations, and above all, provides a justifiably valid and reliable guide for designing workable relationship marketing strategies for creating loyal customers.Originality of this study is proven because it has empirically refined the body of knowledge relating to customer loyalty in the Ghanaian insurance industries.
Power Quality Survey of Voltage Stabilizers and Uninterruptible Power Supply With Nonlinear Loads
Authors: Ogunyemi Joel , Adetona Zacchaeus Adesakin 
Published: December 2019

Amongst the power quality problems faced in Nigeria, interruption and voltage fluctuation seem to be foremost. Thus, household electrical and electronic appliances are most times under the threat of outages and low voltage supply which cause them to malfunction or in extreme cases, get damaged. To address these problems, the use of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and automatic voltage regulator commonly refer to as “stabilizer” has become very popular. The objective of this work is to examine the quality of these devices when powering other nonlinear devices. The experimental study was carried out by using a power harmonic analyzer to display the output parameters and waveform from each device under test when powering nonlinear loads. Parameters measured for each device were voltage, current, frequency, peak-to-peak voltage, total harmonic distortion (THD) and crest factor. The results showed that for the measured parameters, while other parameters relatively remain within the standards, the THD took an exemption as it was relatively higher with a range of 9.9 to 19.9 % for various combination of loads. Though the outputs from the UPS were relatively higher than that of stabilizer (except for THD and crest factor where those of the stabilizer were higher), there was no significant difference between the parameter values measured. The implication of this was that increasing utilization of UPS and stabilizer will invariably continue to contribute more to the pollution of the existing weak network. Adequate measures were suggested to mitigate this. This research can be useful for the stakeholders in power industry for power quality improvement.
Doğu Türkistan’da Ahmet Yesevî, Yesevîlik ve Yesevî Geleneği
Authors: Ay Zahide 
Published: December 2019

Anadolu da dahil, Türk Müslümanlığının kökeninde Ahmed Yesevî’nin merkezi ve çok önemli yeri olduğuna dair tezin, tarafımızca sorgulanmaya başlaması, bizi böyle bir çalışma yapmaya itmiştir. 1997 yılından beri Orta Asya’nın çeşitli bölgelerine yaptığımız seyahatler, sonrasında Ahmed Yesevî’ye atfedilen ya da Ahmed Yesevî’nin isminin geçtiği eserlere baktığımızda, daha da önemlisi Ahmed Yesevî’yi ve halifelerini, bölgede faaliyet gösteren zamanının diğer mutasavvıflarıyla kıyasladığımızda, böylesine merkezi bir rolün abartıldığı kanısına varmıştık. Türkiye’de her ne kadar bir Ahmet Yesevî ilgisi olsa da, bu ilginin, akademik bir ilgiden öteye gidemediğini de fark etmiştik. Fuad Köprülü’den beri akademik çevrelerce tereddütsüz kabul gören bu merkezi görüşün doğruluğunu tahkik etmek, değilse karşı-tezi destekleyecek veriler bulabilmek amacıyla 2015 ve 2016’da iki defa Doğu Türkistan’a saha araştırması için gittiğimizde, şüphelerimizde ne kadar yanıldığımızı tespit ettik. Sahada, özellikle Hoten’de gördüğümüz, 1918 yılında Köprülü’nün Türk Edebiyatında İlk Mutasavvıflar eserindeki tablonun aynısının geçerli olduğu bir sosyal çevreydi.
Ahmet Yesevî ve Yesevîlik konusu Türkiye’de daha ziyade, Ahmet Yesevî Sünni midir değil midir boyutuyla sürdürülmektedir ki, bu noktada bizim bakış açımız, Ahmed Yesevî’nin Sünni olup olmamasından ziyade, hangi çevrelerde kabul gördüğüyle ilgilidir. Buna ek olarak, Yesevî etkisi, şimdiye kadar hep kuzey Türklerinin yaşadığı bölgelerin İslamlaşması üzerinden incelenmiş, güney Türkleri meselesine ise, Nakşibendîlik etkisi altında yaklaşılmıştır. Devin Deweese gibi önemli araştırmacılar, bu tezin güney Türkleri ayağının da sağlam olduğunu ortaya koysalar da, bunu, tek başına Yesevîlik üzerinden değil, Nakşibendîlikle ilişkisi doğrultusunda bir bakış açısıyla sunuyorlardı. Dolayısıyla Nakşibendîlik, Yesevîlik’ten rol çalıyor görünüyordu. Bu da sorgulamamızı kuvvetlendiriyordu. Bu makale, güney Türklerinin, Pamirler’in doğusunda, Doğu Çağatay Hanlığı topraklarında kalan kısımlarındaki İslamlaşmada Yesevî etkisi olabilir mi sorusunu, ağırlıklı olarak Hoten olmak üzere, Doğu Türkistan’da gerçekleştirilen saha araştırmasına dayalı verilerle tartışmayı hedeflemektedir.
Compensation due to land use restrictions: the case of limited use area in the vicinity of Polish airports
Authors: Foryś Iwona , Głuszak Michał , Konowalczuk Jan 
Published: December 2019

Research background: The economic benefits that arise with the development of airport infrastructure are accompanied by negative externalities. Legal, technical and institutional instruments are used to mitigate or limit these effects. It involves state intervention in the use of real estate located in the vicinity of the airport, and the cost of such an intervention. On the other hand, as a result of state interventions, real estate market mechanisms are distorted. The balance on the market, prices and as a result the number of transactions is changing.
Purpose of the article: The study evaluates adaptive efficiency, which is known as the ability of the real estate market system to adapt to the purpose of public intervention. The effectiveness of state intervention is measured as the difference between market transaction costs and costs after intervention. The former means the full coverage of all individual claims of property owners at market prices. However, after the intervention, these are costs of compensation and litigation (judicial, expert opinions, provisions for payment of damages), as well as the risk of the airport's insolvency. The state intervention system is also assessed through the prism of the lack of a methodology for assessing damages and subjective claims of property owners. The article focuses on the effects of the negative impact of airport noise resulting in limitations to residential buildings? usability and depreciation of their market value. The study is based on the example of one regional airport.
Methods: The study evaluates the current compensation model related to the introduction of Limited Land Use Areas around airports in Poland, based on Poznan-Lawica airport case study. In the empirical part of the paper, we use regression analysis to examine the value of compensations for loss of property value ruled by courts, and duration analysis to explore court procedure duration time.
Findings & Value added: This research is one of the important basic research on socio-spatial connection near an airport in Poland. We argue that the current prac-tice related to compensation ruled by courts has substantial flaws (including the methodical error regarding the valuation of claims, where acoustic damage and value loss claims are treated as unrelated, thus both compensations are independently assessed). With the help of the Cox model, we demonstrate that the long distance from the airport and the location within the LUA increase the likelihood of court proceedings ending. The results are important due to the pending disputes and the costs threatening the functioning of airports in Poland.

Animales no humanos y suburbios de baja densidad
Authors: Frasson Pablo 
Published: December 2019

Este texto busca acompañar algunos procesos de deconstrucción de modelos de vinculación con el entorno, la naturaleza y la vida. Será, en este caso, la reflexión sobre cómo el suelo se
transforma en mercancía y todo aquello que en su interior habita pierde su entidad libre,
quedando sometido a la voluntad del dueño poseedor. Este texto recuerda la conceptualización
de las clausuras urbanas como forma novedosa de ocupación del suelo, desde la legitimidad
humana a los intereses de los animales no humanos silvestres y liminales. Se toma el caso del
suburbio como espacio de experimentación donde se materializan ideas de un posible urbanismo
no especista, interesado en los animales y testigo, en algún caso, de un paradigma biocéntrico, ya
no antropocéntrico. Por último, se analizan dos ejemplos en tanto constituyen o no genuinas formas
de integración e inclusión entre humanos y no humanos.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the pharmacokinetics of morphine, lidocaine, and ketamine associated with IV administration of a constant rate infusion (CRI) of a morphine-lidocaine-ketamine (MLK) combination to calves undergoing umbilical herniorrhaphy.

ANIMALS
20 weaned Holstein calves with umbilical hernias.

PROCEDURES
Calves were randomly assigned to receive a CRI of an MLK solution (0.11 mL/kg/h; morphine, 4.8 μg/kg/h; lidocaine, 2.1 mg/kg/h; and ketamine, 0.42 mg/kg/h) for 24 hours (MLK group) or 2 doses of flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg, IV, q 24 h) and a CRI of saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (0.11 mL/kg/h) for 24 hours (control group). For all calves, the CRI was begun after anesthesia induction. Blood samples were obtained immediately before and at predetermined times for 120 hours after initiation of the assigned treatment. Noncompartmental analysis was used to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters for the MLK group.

RESULTS
During the CRI, steady-state serum concentrations were achieved for lidocaine and ketamine, but not morphine. Mean terminal half-life was 4.1, 0.98, and 1.55 hours and area under the concentration-time curve was 41, 14,494, and 7,426 h•μg/mL for morphine, lidocaine, and ketamine, respectively. After the CRI, the mean serum drug concentration at steady state was 6.3, 616.7, and 328 ng/mL for morphine, lidocaine, and ketamine, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
During the CRI of the MLK solution, steady-state serum concentrations were achieved for lidocaine and ketamine, but not morphine, likely owing to the fairly long half-life of morphine. Kinetic analyses of MLK infusions in cattle are necessary to establish optimal dosing protocols.

Authors: Martabano Brittany B. , Henriksen Michala de Linde , Colussi Jenny A. , Sharp Julia L. , Wang Zeke , Lappin Michael R. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate effects of topical ophthalmic administration of diclofenac on intraocular pressure (IOP) when applied at 4 frequencies to eyes of Beagles.

ANIMALS
8 ophthalmologically normal Beagles.

PROCEDURES
The study involved four 5-day experimental periods each separated by a 16-day washout period. During each period, 1 drop of 0.1% diclofenac sodium ophthalmic solution was administered to the right eye at 4 treatment frequencies (1, 2, 3, or 4 times/d); 1 drop of eyewash was administered to the left eye as a control treatment. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed on days 0 (day before first treatment) and 5 of each experimental period. Gonioscopy was performed on day 0 of the first period. The IOPs were measured at 7 am and 7 pm on days 1 through 5.

RESULTS
No abnormalities were detected during neuro-ophthalmic and ophthalmic examinations on day 0 of each experimental period. No adverse reactions to administration of diclofenac or eyewash were observed at any time point. No abnormalities were detected during ophthalmic examinations performed on day 5, and IOPs remained < 25 mm Hg in all 4 periods. No significant differences were identified between the treated and control eyes or among the 4 treatment frequencies.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Topical ophthalmic administration of diclofenac up to 4 times/d in dogs with no ophthalmic abnormalities did not significantly increase the IOP. Additional research is needed to evaluate the effect of topical ophthalmic administration of diclofenac on IOP in dogs with anterior uveitis.

Published: December 2019

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To develop and assess a novel ex vivo corneal culture technique involving an agarose-based dome scaffold (ABDS) for use as a model of in vivo corneal wound healing in dogs and rabbits.

SAMPLE
Corneas from clinically normal dogs (paired corneas from 8 dogs and 8 single corneas) and rabbits (21 single corneas).

PROCEDURES
8 single dog corneas (DCs), 1 DC from each pair, and 10 rabbit corneas (RCs) were wounded with an excimer laser; 1 DC from each pair and 11 RCs remained unwounded. Corneas were cultured for 21 days on ABDSs (8 pairs of DCs and all RCs) or on flat-topped scaffolds (8 single DCs). The surface area of corneal fluorescein retention was measured every 6 (DCs) or 12 (RCs) hours until full corneal epithelialization was detected. Changes in corneal clarity were evaluated at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days.

RESULTS
Median time to full epithelialization for wounded dog and rabbit corneas was 48 and 60 hours, respectively; among wounded DCs, time to full epithelization did not differ by scaffold type. After 21 days of culture on ABDSs, all DCs and RCs that epithelialized developed a circular, diffuse, cloud-like pattern of optical haze, whereas DCs cultured on flat-topped scaffolds developed a focal, crater-like region of optical haze. All corneas on the ABDSs maintained convex curvature throughout the study.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Wounded ex vivo DCs and RCs cultured on ABDSs reliably epithelialized, formed optical haze (consistent with in vivo wound healing), and maintained convex curvature. This culture technique may be adaptable to other species.
Comparison of the effects of morphine-lidocaine-ketamine and fentanyl-lidocaine-ketamine combinations administered as constant rate infusions on postprocedure rectal temperature in dogs
Authors: Chuang Che-Wei , Chen Kuan-Sheng , Lee Wei-Ming , Wang Hsien-Chi 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of morphine-lidocaine-ketamine (MLK) and fentanyl-lidocaine-ketamine (FLK) combinations administered as constant rate infusions (CRIs) during and after veterinary procedures on postprocedure rectal temperature in dogs.

ANIMALS
32 clinically normal client-owned dogs undergoing nonemergent procedures.

PROCEDURES
Dogs were randomly assigned to receive an MLK or FLK combination (16 dogs/group). During the procedure, each dog received 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (1 mg/kg/h; both groups), ketamine hydrochloride (0.6 mg/kg/h; both groups), and morphine (0.36 mg/kg/h; MLK group) or fentanyl (4 μg/kg/h; FLK group) via CRI for analgesia; esophageal temperature was maintained at 37° to 39°C. At extubation, each drug dose in each assigned combination was halved and administered (via CRI) for 12 additional hours for postprocedure analgesia. Rectal temperature and other data were recorded at baseline (prior to administration of premedicants), extubation (0 hours), and 0.5, 1.5, 3, 6, and 12 hours thereafter.

RESULTS
Mean postprocedure rectal temperature was significantly lower at each postextubation time point for the MLK group, compared with corresponding values for the FLK group. Compared with the baseline value, mean postprocedure rectal temperature was significantly lower at 0, 0.5, 1.5, and 3 hours for the FLK group and at all postprocedure time points for the MLK group. Hypothermia (rectal temperature < 37°C) was detected at ≥ 1 postprocedure time point more often in dogs in the MLK group (9/16) than in the FLK group (1/16).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Dogs that received an MLK combination for analgesia during and after a veterinary procedure developed hypothermia more commonly than did dogs that received an FLK combination under similar conditions.

İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası gelişen kalkınma çalışmalarının ne gibi tarihsel süreçlerden geçtiğini araştırır. Kalkınma sonrası dönem olarak adlandırılan bugünkü kalkınma gündeminde özellikle iki eğilimin olduğunu tartışır. Birincisi, küresel kalkınma çalışmalarının ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerinin kalkınma yazınında ön plana çıkmasıdır. İkincisi ise Doğu’nun yükselişi tartışmaları içinde Batı merkezli sisteme alternatif geliştirme tartışmalarıdır. Özellikle 1990’larda kalkınma paradigmasının sonlanmasından sonra Türkçe kalkınma literatürde kalkınma tartışmalarının nasıl ilerlediğine dair çok çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma bu Türkçe yazına katkı sağlamayı amaçlar.
