Los requisitos software son parte fundamental del proceso de ingeniería de software. Algunas veces, estas especificaciones de requisitos pueden ser inconsistentes, incompletas o simplemente incorrectas y no son detectadas a tiempo en la fase de ingeniería de requisitos. Estos requisitos son obtenidos a partir de la comunicación con los usuarios. Y esta comunicación, presentada en lenguaje natural, no siempre es interpretada adecuadamente. Este problema puede minimizarse con una mejor enseñanza del proceso de ingeniería de requisitos mediante el uso de una metodología diferente. Las metodologías tradicionales y los proyectos de clases por sí solos han demostrado no ser adecuados para la enseñanza del proceso de software, por lo que se propone una metodología lúdica para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de la construcción de requisitos software basada en Esquemas Preconceptuales.
Reconstructing Aboriginal History and Cultural Identity through Self Narrative: A Study of Ruby Langford’s Autobiography Don‘t Take Your Love to Town
Authors: Kumari Pariksha 
Published: January 2021

The last decades of previous century has witnessed the burgeoning of life narratives lending voice to the oppressed, dispossessed, and the colonized marginalities of race, class or gender across the world. A large number of autobiographical and biographical narratives that have appeared on the literary scene have started articulating their ordeals and their struggle for survival. The Aboriginals in Australia have started candidly articulating their side of story, exposing the harassment and oppression of their people in Australia. These oppressed communities find themselves sandwiched and strangled under the mainstream politics of multiculturalism, assimilation and secularism.
The present paper seeks to analyze how life writing serves the purpose of history in celebrated Australian novelist, Aboriginal historian and social activist Ruby Langford’s autobiographical narrative, Don’t Take Your Love to Town. The Colonial historiography of Australian settlement has never accepted the fact of displacement and eviction of the Aboriginals from their land and culture. The whites systematically transplanted Anglo-Celtic culture and identity in the land of Australia which was belonged to the indigenous for centuries. Don’t Take Your Love to Town reconstructs the debate on history of the colonial settlement and status of Aboriginals under subsequent government policies like reconciliation, assimilation and multiculturalism. The paper is an attempt to gaze the assimilation policy adopted by the state to bring the Aboriginals into the mainstream politics and society on the one hand, and the regular torture, exploitation and cultural degradation of the Aboriginals recorded in the text on the other. In this respect the paper sees how Langford encounters British history of Australian settlement and the perspectives of Australian state towards the Aboriginals. The politics of mainstream culture, religion, race and ethnicity, which is directly or indirectly responsible for the condition of the Aboriginals, is also the part of discussion in the paper.

Authors: Nandu Baby P  , Ramesh V  
Published: January 2021

Haemophilia is a chronic bleeding illness that causes several difficulties in the patient's daily life in various aspects. Inhibitor development is presently the most important treatment complication observed in patients with hemophilia. Treatment modalities of Haemophilia A with either plasma or recombinant FVIII regimes results in the development of inhibitors and the risk of complications in patients. Hence, newer treatment strategies involving innovative hemostatic therapy are warranted for better management of hemophilia patients. The aim and objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of Chromolena odorata mediated hemostasis in patients with hemophilia A inhibitors. It was a cohort study constituting 147 clinically diagnosed hemophilic A patients. All the patients underwent treatment with FVIII A regimes (specific or multiple). The severity of hemophilia and clotting time was assessed by standard FVIII and aPTT assays, respectively. Modified Bethesda assay method was used to detect FVIII inhibitors. The hemostatic capacity of Chromolena odorata was evaluated by pooling the patient’s plasma with Chromolena extract concentrate. Younger age group (15-30) were more prevalent (56.4%) among hemophilia pathogenesis. Hemarthrosis was the significant co-morbidity observed in 58.5% of patients. Majority of the patients (72.7%) were diagnosed with severe hemophilia A. We identified 10 clinically evident patients to possess inhibitors for FVIII. Evaluation of Chromolena odorata hemostatic potential showed the improvement of clotting capacity with optimal concentrations of extract in patients with inhibitors. The findings of the study revealed the hemostatic properties of Chromolena odorata that can be recommended in the treatment strategies of Haemophilia patients.

Published: January 2021

Aitolo-Akarnania prefecture, western Greece, is an area with strong earthquakes and large active fault systems. The most prominent are the Katouna sinistral strike slip fault and the Trichonis Lake normal fault system. Their proximity to large cities, and the lack of detailed information on their seismogenic potential, calls for multiparametric research. Since 2013, the area’s crustal deformation has been monitored by a dense GNSS Network (PPGNet), consisting of five stations, equipped with Leica and Septentrio receivers. The objective of this network is to define the rate of deformation across these two main fault systems. Data is recorded using two sampling frequencies, 1 Hz and 10Hz, producing hourly and daily files. Daily data is processed using Bernese GNSS Processing Software using final orbits of International GNSS Service. Double-difference solution is computed using phase measurements from the PPGNet network complemented by four stations from Athens’ National Observatory GNSS network and six stations from METRICA network. First results show a NNE movement at PVOG station of 12 mm/y and a similar movement at RETS station of about 9 mm/y. This means that the Trichonis Lake normal fault system, located between these two stations, depicts a slip rate of 3 mm/y. KTCH and RGNI stations move eastwards at a velocity of about 5 mm/y due to the Katouna-Stamna fault system. Data from PPGNet has provided important results on crustal deformation in the area, i.e. slip rates have been attributed to specific fault systems. The comparison and links of these data with broader geodynamic models is now possible and we expect, in a later phase that will provide a more detailed image of the associated seismic hazard for Aitolo-Akarnania.

Published: January 2021

To modify high-performance concrete (HPC) fireproofing properties, black sand (BS) was partially substituted as fine aggregate at various levels. This study aims at evaluating the BS reliability in improving HPC durability properties for various construction applications based on its unique heavy minerals. To achieve this, five HPC series blends were setup to substitute fine aggregate independently with BS. Substitution percentages ranged from 15 to 100% with consistent supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) proportion for each gathering. Tests were performed to assess compressive strength before and after fire exposure under various temperatures of 250, 500 and 750 °C at different curing age. Generally, blending FA with BS was better than using SF with BS. Utilizing BS in the range of 15 to 60% as fine aggregate with 10% FA improves HPC fire-insulating properties. Besides, Z1 SEM analysis observed homogenously and compacted HPC microstructure at 250 and 500 °C. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091634 Full Text: PDF
Unconfined Compressive Strength Characteristics of Overboulder Asbuton and Zeolite Stabilized Soft Soil
Authors: Dhani Noor , Gasruddin Ahmad , Hartini Hartini , Baride La 
Published: January 2021

Soft soil was one of the most widely encountered problems in construction, especially for archipelago countries which most of its area was lowland with a high deposit of soft soil. To overcome this problem, soil stabilization was one of the most widely used as a solution. Soil stabilization in general uses chemical substances that are classified as pozzolan material. Pozzolan material uses its capability to strengthen the cohesion of soil grains. Mostly, pozzolan material consists of silica. Overboulder asbuton and zeolite were examples of natural pozzolan material in Indonesia. Both materials have a high silica content. Thus, the author interested to figure out the mechanical behavior of these two substances as a soil stabilizer. This research was a correlating study to the previous paper with the same author which discusses the overboulder asbuton as a soil stabilizer. Overboulder added to the mix is determined as 15%, with varied zeolite percentages applied to examine the differences. The UCT was conducted according to ASTM D-2166 as a parameter. As the standard remolding method, a standard proctor test was conducted to determine the optimum moisture content and the maximum density of each mix. While the UCT specimens were tested at the certain curing time for each composition. The curing time applied was 0, 7, 14, and 28 days. By this curing period, the effective pozzolanic reaction that occurs for each composition could be determined. The result shows that zeolite addition to overboulder asbuton could increase the soil density and increase its compressive strength. It is indicated that overboulder asbuton and zeolite mix could be a proper alternative as a soil stabilizer. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091635 Full Text: PDF
Evaluation of Concrete with Partial Replacement of Cement by Waste Marble Powder

Published: January 2021

This study aims to evaluate concrete having Waste Marble Powder (WMP) as partial replacement of cement. Marble is the metamorphic form of limestone (CaCO3) and WMP was chosen as substitute of cement on account of its high calcium oxide content. WMP is by-product of marble industry and is an environmental burden. The manufacturing of cement is also environmentally hazardous owing to emission of greenhouse gases. Thus, the recycling of WMP in place of cement in concrete offers two ecological advantages. Thirdly, WMP has a specific gravity of 2.6 against that of 3.15 for cement, which reduces the weight of the finished products. Based on the previous studies, five different concrete mixes were prepared having 0, 5, 10, 15 and 15% replacement levels. The samples were evaluated both through destructive and non-destructive tests. Destructive tests included compressive, tensile and flexural strengths, whereas non-destructive tests comprised of ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and rebound hammer. It was observed that the workability decreases with WMP inclusion owing to its higher water absorption, which inhibits lubrication of cement particles. The concrete strength improves up to a replacement level of 10% by mass of cement on account of densification created by the finer WMP and un-hydrated cement particles, which act as hard inclusions. Beyond 10%, the concrete strength starts declining due to insufficient quantity of cement matrix, binding the WMP particles. Schmidt rebound numbers authenticate the compressive strength results: The number increases up to 10% replacement level and beyond 10% it decreases. The results of UPV indicate that the velocity increases with increase in WMP content: The increase is attributed to compactness of the composite with finer WMP particles.
