Authors: Khandavalli Yasaswi , Rai Seema , Lodha Rama Singodiya 
Published: July 2020

Background: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) remains an inexpensive, non-invasive, and effective first-line artificial insemination technique. The technique of IUI has evolved through various innovations since the time Cohen published the first report of IUI in 1962, and the success rate increased from 5% to >20%. The success of IUI depends upon several factors; two such prognostic factors are the timing and frequency of insemination. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of single versus double intrauterine insemination.Methods: This prospective randomized study was carried out in 130 patients with male factor infertility, PCOS and unexplained infertility. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups. In the first group of 65 patients, single IUI was applied at 36 to 40 hours after HCG administration, to the other 65 patients in the second group, double IUIs were applied at 12 to 16 hours and 36 to 40 hours after HCG administration. The primary end-point of the study was to compare the clinical pregnancy rate between the two groups.Results: The overall pregnancy rate was 18.46% (12/65) for single IUI group and 30.76% (20/65) for double IUI group. There was a no statistically significant difference between single and double IUI groups (p=0.16).Conclusions: This study did find a higher pregnancy rate following double IUI; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Further, larger sample size studies are required to determine if double IUI increases the pregnancy rate.

Published: July 2020

Este trabalho trata-se de um estudo de caso exploratório sobre a metodologia ativa conhecida como Peer Instruction (PI). Seu objetivo geral é compreender o funcionamento dessa metodologia e as teorias envolvidas por meio da revisão bibliográfica e da prática docente. Adotamos a teoria sociointeracionista de Vigotsky e a teoria de aprendizagem significativa de David Ausubel, como referenciais teóricos para identificação de alguns aspectos do método. Deseja-se investigar o funcionamento do método e a reação dos alunos, sua aplicabilidade na área de Química, suas dificuldades, vantagens e desvantagens. Desta forma, realizou-se o estudo em quatro turmas do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da cidade de Viçosa, com cerca de 160 alunos, ao longo de uma sequência didática sobre tópicos de Estequiometria. Observou-se que as discussões entre os pares eram frutíferas e que os alunos demonstraram estar muito motivados com a nova metodologia. Observou-se também que os alunos obtiveram certa resistência à proposta da sala de aula invertida - mesmo sendo um aspecto muito importante para o bom funcionamento do método - na qual eram estimulados a realizar a leitura prévia dos conteúdos antes das aulas. Concluiu-se que o PI é um método adequado para o ensino de química. Este estudo permitiu aos alunos, a elucidação de conceitos importantes e subjacentes e proporcionou novas ideias e novos horizontes acerca do método e continuidade da pesquisa.

The social policy of Belarus and the development of human potential: Problems and solutions
Authors: Rezanova Ekaterina 
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of the directions and mechanisms of adapting the social policy of Belarus to the demographic, migration, communication and technological challenges of modern society. The purpose of the article is to search for social policy mechanisms aimed at developing human potential and stimulating the social activity of citizens. The author analyses the directions of the state’s social policy in the absence of the reproduction of labor resources, an increase in the demographic burden on the ablebodied population, an uneven distribution of labor resources, the emigration of skilled personnel, growth in automation and robotization of production, and a growing need to build effective communication between the government and the population. The article provides an extensive analysis of statistical information, sociological research data, the legislative framework, methods and social technologies of social policy.
As a result of the study the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to search for new mechanisms for implementing social policy in various fields. Therefore, in the field of demography, it is advisable to search for indirect measures to increase social guarantees for women in order to stimulate fertility, and transform the pension system in order to reduce the demographic burden on the working population. In the field of migration, it is advisable to take government action to prevent the outflow of highly qualified specialists abroad and to return of students who have received education abroad. In the field of social and labor relations existing personnel technologists should be improved and objective methods for evaluating the effectiveness of employees based on a competency-based approach should be introduced. In the field of communication between society and the state it is necessary to inform the public about the current state policy and to organize public discussions of the state initiatives before making them.
A INFÂNCIA ESQUECIDA: UMA ANÁLISE DA OBRA CAPITÃES DA AREIA DE JORGE AMADO
Authors: Mendes Joselma 
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo aborda a temática do menor abandonado no romance “Capitães da Areia”, de Jorge Amado que, de forma ousada e inovadora, não só assistiu às atrocidades da sociedade para com o menor, mas as denunciou através da sua arte, pois a obra é de cunho artístico, político e social. O autor relata os contrastes de uma época em que a sociedade e o governo de Salvador faziam descaso de suas crianças e as maltratavam em reformatórios. A referida obra, atualmente, é lida não apenas como registro social de uma época e de um lugar específico, mas como uma literatura que soube despertar a reflexão de um drama humano que ainda perdura: menores abandonados. Jorge Amado narra episódios intensos a respeito da vida de seus personagens, não só da vida triste, cheia de angústias dos menores por não terem uma família, sobretudo de suas conquistas, alegrias e amores. Nessa perspectiva, este trabalho apresenta o contexto histórico brasileiro da década de 30, época em que o romance foi escrito, destacando os principais acontecimentos políticos e sociais daquele período, realçando as características da literatura neorrealista, como instrumento de denúncia social, com o intuito de buscar o entendimento do que influenciou Jorge Amado.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Menor abandonado. Neorrealismo. Sociedade. Governo.
Genre analysis of artificial intelligence research article abstracts:Local versus international journal
Authors: Saidi Mavadat , Cheraghi Fateme 
Published: July 2020

The generic structure of research article (RA) abstracts has been studied across disciplines and cultures. Taking a different approach, the current study aimed to explore and compare the constituent moves of RA abstracts in a local and an international journal in the field of Artificial Intelligence. To this end, Bhatiaâ€™s model of four-move abstracts was applied to 30 RA abstracts, 15 from the local and 15 from the international journal, published in 2017. The results revealed that the Methods and Results moves were obligatory in both local and international abstracts while the Conclusion move was absent in most RA abstracts in both local and international journals. The findings unfolded the obligatory nature of the Purpose move in international abstracts as well. The results can carry some pedagogical implications for academic writing instructors in order to enhance their applicantsâ€™ understanding of the generic norms of academic discourse communities.
Keywords: Academic writing, artificial intelligence, genre analysis, moves, research article abstracts.

Published: July 2020

This study compared deductive and inductive approaches of teaching tenses to secondary school learners. The aim of this study was to test the efficiency of the two instructional approaches of teaching tenses by observing learnersâ€™ performance. Sixty participants (37 female and 23 male), learning English in the Kingdom of Eswatini, participated in this quasi-experimental study. Convenience sampling was used to select participants who were randomly assigned to two control groups. The independent variable was â€˜teaching method,â€™ with two levels: deductive versus inductive. The dependent variables were participantsâ€™ achievement scores derived from the pre-test and post-test. The independent t-test and the dependent t-test were used to analyse data. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the deductive and inductive approaches in teaching tenses,although each method was effective in isolation. Based on the findings, this study recommends an integration of the two approaches in the teaching of tenses.

Keywords: ESL context, deductive approach, grammar, inductive approach, tenses.

Penyimpangan Klausula Baku yang Terdapat Dalam Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli (PPJB) Rumah
Authors: Puspitasari Yuanita 
Published: July 2020

Setiap manusia memerlukan rumah atau tempat tinggal untuk mempertahankan hidup. Tingginya permintaan masyarakat terhadap pemilikan rumah atau tempat tinggal menjadi peluang bagi pengembang perumahan untuk meraih keuntungan. Banyaknya sengketa terhadap praktik jual beli rumah, salah satunya terhadap Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli (PPJB) Rumah yang merupakan suatu perjanjian baku. Perjanjian tersebut yang memiliki isi atau klausula yang seharusnya dilarang untuk dicantumkan dalam suatu perjanjian. Dimana kebanyakan isi dari perjanjian tersebut merugikan pihak konsumen karena tidak seimbangnya hak dan kewajiban antar pihak yang dibuat secara sepihak oleh pihak pengembang perumahan atau pelaku usaha, kemudian posisi konsumen yang lemah dikarenakan tidak dapat melakukan negosiasi dengan pihak pengembang. Karena tidak tegasnya aturan yang ada di Indonesia mengakibatkan masih banyaknya penggunaan klausula baku yang isinya bertentangan dengan peraturan perundang-undangan sehingga masih banyak pihak konsumen yang tidak mendapat perlindungan hukum dikarenakan salah dalam menerapkan hukum atau dalam mengajukan gugatan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum dengan metodologi pendekatan peaturan perundang-undangan, pendekatan konseptual, dan pendekatan studi kasus. Oleh karenanya perlu adanya aturan yang secara tegas melarang pencantuman klausula baku supaya tidak terjadi penyalagunaan atau penyimpangan dalam menyusun perjanjian.

No presente trabalho são 1 apresentados os resultados de estudos por fluorescência de raios X de tijolos brasileiros. Neste estudo foram avaliados 22 tijolos, sendo sete de Igarassu, dois do Forte do Brum e 13 de Olinda. Um equipamento portátil de fluorescência de raios X por dispersão de energia foi desenvolvido para este estudo. Análises por difração de raios X também foram efetuadas para determinar as fases cristalinas presentes nos tijolos. Os resultados mostraram a existência de fases minerais, como quartzo, em todos os tijolos avaliados. A Análise da Componente Principal foi aplicada aos dados dos espectros de fluorescência de raios X obtidos. Os resultados mostraram que a partir do gráfico de scores das componentes principais CP1 e CP3, respectivamente representadas pelo Fe e Ca, foi possível separar os tijolos de Igarassu e do Forte do Brum em cinco grupos, que estavam associados com o século de fabricação. Por sua vez, os tijolos de Olinda foram separados em dois grupos, sendo um formado por um único tijolo e o outro grupo pelos demais tijolos. Estes resultados sugerem que os tijolos foram produzidos com diferentes matérias primas ou em diferentes locais. ENERGY DISPERSIVE X-RAY FLUORESCENCE APPLIED TO THE CHARACTERIZATION OF BRICKS OF PERNAMBUCO HISTORICAL SITESABSTRACTThis work presents the results of X-ray fluorescence analysis of Brazilian bricks, collected from several historical sites of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. In this study, twenty two bricks were analyzed; seven from Igarassu, two from Forte do Brum in Recife, and thirteen from Olinda. A portable X-ray fluorescence system was assembled and used for the qualitative determination of the chemical elements present in the samples. X-ray diffraction analysis was also carried out to determine the crystal mineral phases in the bricks. All the bricks studied showed several minerals, such as quartz A Principle Component Analysis was applied to the full X-ray fluorescence spectra. In the score plot of principal components PC1 and PC3, represented by Fe and Ca respectively, it can be seen that the results for the bricks from Igarassu and Forte do Brum may be grouped in five clusters corresponding to the bricks´ century and manufacture locations. The analysis of the Olinda bricks yielded two separate groups, one with a single brick and the second group with the other eleven bricks. These results suggest that the bricks were produced with different raw-materials or manufactured in different locations.KEYWORDS: non-destructive analysis; X-ray fluorescence; cultural heritage; bricks; X-ray diffraction.

Authors: Pérez María Antonia Aguilar 
Published: July 2020

A partir de la segunda mitad del siglo pasado la perspectiva respecto a la arqueología ha cambiado, se deja de percibir como una actividad de recopilación de objetos para dar paso verdaderas interpretaciones respecto a la vida y cultura pasada, para ello se requirió de cambios técnicos, metodológicos y por supuesto epistemológicos, es así que cobra importancia la arqueología de superficie. Con los estudios que se han realizado bajo estas perspectivas, en el desarrollo de investigaciones se observa ya como una práctica recurrente la arqueología de superficie y en el caso del Estado de Veracruz no es la excepción, la Cuenca del Papaloapan cuenta con exploraciones arqueológicas que permiten conocer parte del desarrollo socio cultural de la región.SURFACE ARCHEOLOGY IN THE PAPALOAPAN BASIN,VERACRUZ ABSTRACTFrom the second half of the last century the perspective on archeology has changed, it is no longer perceived as an activity of collecting objects to make way for true interpretations regarding life and past culture, for this it required technical changes, methodological and of course epistemological, is how surface archeology becomes important. With the studies that have been carried out under these perspectives, in the development of investigations, surface archeology is already a recurrent practice and in the case of the State of Veracruz it is not the exception, the Papaloapan Basin has archaeological explorations that allow know part of the socio-cultural development of theregion.
