The impact of goal attainment and goal importance on satisfaction with life – a polynomial regression and response surface analysis
Authors: Tóth Ágnes , Wisse Barbara , Faragó Klára 
Published: March 2018

Introduction
Most people want to be happy in their lives and actively try to achieve some degree of contentment. Previous studies have shown that pursuing goals can increase peoples’ well-being and that in order to understand the role of goals in well-being, it is important to differentiate between the importance and the attainment of both extrinsic and intrinsic goals. Yet, the issue of how the congruence between goal importance on the one hand and goal attainment on the other affects well-being has rarely been addressed.

Aims
We investigated if well-being is a function of goal pursuit, or more precisely, if the extent to which people are satisfied with their lives is a result of their success in achieving goals that are relatively important to them. We expected that goal attainment would be a stronger predictor of well-being than goal importance. We also expected that the congruence between intrinsic goal attainment and importance would be positively related to subjective well-being. In addition, we explored whether the congruence between extrinsic goal attainment and importance would be negatively or positively associated with subjective well-being.

Methods
A survey of 149 Hungarian adults was conducted (75% female). To test our hypotheses we used bivariate polynomial regression and response surface analysis. This tool is ideal to measure the joint effect of two predictor variables on a third variable, such as the goal importance and goal attainment on well-being.

Results
Intrinsic goal attainment is positively related to well-being (B = .77, p = .04), while goal importance has no such effect. We also found that the congruence between intrinsic goal importance and goal attainment is positively related to well-being (a1 = 1.29, p = .04). The polynomial regression with well-being as the dependent variable and extrinsic goal attainment and importance as the predictor variables showed that whereas extrinsic goal importance (B = –.32, p = .02) has a negative relationship with well-being, goal attainment (B = .51, p = .007) has a positive one. Moreover, we found that well-being is higher when extrinsic goal attainment is higher than extrinsic goal importance (a3 = –.84, p = .005) and that well-being increases more sharply to the extent that the degree of discrepancy increases (a4 = –.41, p = .03).

Conclusions
Based on our results it seems that the congruence between intrinsic goal attainment and goal importance enhances our well-being. While valuing extrinsic goals does not seem to increase happiness, attaining those goals does so.

Kurt Vonnegut’s Sirens of Titan (1959) is the story of the world’s richest man caught up in the machinations of an unfeeling universe. Vonnegut discusses the place of humanity in the universe, and the problems inherent in society. This novel is used primarily to explore the way that pilgrimage functions in a real, and tangible world, primarily the way that pilgrimage is seen as freedom of choice for when and where a pilgrim will go on pilgrimage. Using Sirens of Titan this article will investigate the concept of free will, choice and determinism within both a fictional world and a real world in which all characters believe they are in control of their own destiny. Through characters such as Malachi Constant, determinism, religion, free will, and choice shall be explored through the lens of pilgrimage with the expressed desire to find one’s self or answers they seek. Free will and determinism is explored through the usage of Sam Harris and Daniel C. Dennett whose theories about free will allow for concepts to be explored within science-fiction and that of real-life pilgrimage, and the change that these journeys bring for the pilgrim. This article shall also explore the context of the journey, be it a quest or a pilgrimage, both of which are performed for higher reasons. These higher reasons are explored as reasons why pilgrimages and quests are undertaken, and whether these journeys are undertaken freely, or has the universe indeed mandated that this is the time and place a pilgrim will undertake their journey.

Wie die Helvetier Waldenburg entdeckten. Zur Rezeption von Joanna Bator in der Schweiz
Authors: GERBER Małgorzata 
Published: March 2018

Der Text gibt einen Überblick über die Rezeption der Werke Joanna Bators in der Schweiz in den Jahren 2011-2016. Die Schriftstellerin markierte ihre Präsenz in dieser Zeitspanne dank den gelungenen Übersetzungen ihrer drei Waldenburger Romane Sandberg, Wolkenfern und Dunkel, fast Nacht. Die Anerkennung belegen zahlreiche Kommentare in den Medien und zwei Auszeichnungen von 2014: der Literaturpreis Leuk und der Friedrich Dürrenmatt-Preis der Universität Bern.Die Schweizer Leserschaft war von den aus feministischer Perspektive dargestellten Romanen beeindruckt. Im Hintergrund liegen die Waldenburger Landschaft und die Geschichte der Vertriebenen. In den Rezensionen rückte man Bators Fähigkeit in den Vordergrund, Tabus zu brechen und soziokulturelle, darunter auch Geschlechts- und Rasse-Grenzen zu überschreiten. Man schätzte ihre postmodernistische Art hoch ein, verschiedene Genres und literarische Konventionen meisterhaft zu verbinden. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Kritiker fokussierte sowohl auf Bators bildreiche Sprache als auch auf die Leichtigkeit, mit der sie Zeit- und Raumbarrieren überwindet.Die online-Recherchen in den Medien, vor allem in der Alltagspresse, in Radio und Fernsehen erlauben die Feststellung, dass Bators Schaffen sowohl von den Literaturkritikern als auch vom breiten Lesepublikum mit Interesse begrüsst wurde. Man kann annehmen, dass der Buchmarkt in der Schweiz für künftige Texte von Bator offen steht.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o consumo de combustível da colheita mecanizada de cana-de-açúcar em diferentes velocidades de deslocamento e rotações do extrator primário. O experimento foi conduzido em um canavial colhido sem queima prévia, com a cana-de-açúcar da variedade CTC 15, em seu primeiro estágio de corte e com porte classificado como ereto. O espaçamento entre fileiras foi de 1,5m e a produtividade agrícola média da cultura de 92,5 t ha-1. A colhedora de cana-de-açúcar utilizada foi a de uma linha, operando em três velocidades de deslocamento, sendo V1 (3,0 km h-1), a velocidade V2 (5,0 km h-1) e V3 (7,0 km h-1). Foram utilizadas duas rotações do extrator primário, sendo a R1 de 700 rpm e R2 de 1000 rpm. No experimento foi avaliado o consumo de combustível da colhedora com o uso de fluxômetros assim como o desempenho da mesma. A capacidade de campo efetiva (ha h-1) e o consumo horário efetivo de combustível (L h-1) foram maiores, com o aumento da velocidade de deslocamento da colhedora de cana-de-açúcar e com o aumento da rotação do extrator primário. O estudo mostrou que com o aumento da velocidade de deslocamento da colhedora diminuiu o consumo de combustível por tonelada de cana-de-açúcar colhida (L t-1).PALAVRAS-CHAVE: desempenho; rendimento operacional; avaliação; mecanização. FUEL CONSUMPTION OF SUGARCANE MECHANIZED HERVESTING UNDER PRIMARY EXTRACTOR DIFFERENT SHIFTING SPEEDS AND SPINSABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the fuel consumption of mechanized harvesting of sugar cane under different speeds of displacement and rotation of the primary extractor. The experiment was conducted in a sugar cane variety CTC 15 in its first cutting stage and size classified as erect, harvested without burning. The row spacing was 1.5 m and the average agricultural crop yield of 92.5 t ha-1. The harvester used was of one line, operating in three shift speeds, V1 (3.0 km h-1), V2 (5.0 km h-1), and V3 (7.0 km h-1). Two rotations of the primary extractor were used, the R1 of 700 rpm and R2 of 1000 rpm. Fuel consumption was evaluated by using flowmeters as well as its performance. The effective field capacity (ha h-1) and the actual time fuel consumption (L h-1) were greater increasing traveling speed and rotation. Increased harvester travel speed decreased fuel consumption per ton of sugarcane harvested (L t-1).KEYWORDS: Performance; operating efficiency; evaluation; mechanization.

Este trabalho investiga o uso de Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNAs) na análise da influência de fatores ambientais em diversos parâmetros fisiológicos em frangos de corte. Os dados deste trabalho foram obtidos em câmara climática do Núcleo de Pesquisa em Ambiência - NUPEA/ESALQ/USP. Machos e fêmeas de frangos de corte da linhagem Ross com 21, 28, 35, 42 e 49 dias de idade foram submetidos a quatro combinações de temperatura e umidade relativas. As RNAs foram utilizadas para avaliação da influência e relação de variáveis tais como temperatura, umidade relativa, frequência respiratória, temperatura retal, idade, ganho de peso, tempo de permanência no comedouro e tempo de permanência no bebedouro. Os resultados mostraram que é difícil predizer a condição ambiental a qual o animal foi submetido pelo conjunto de dados. O menor erro foi obtido com a variável ganho de peso como saída, sugerindo que esta seja a mais fortemente correlacionada com as outras variáveis.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Redes Neurais Artificiais, avicultura, ambiência. STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN BROILER USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKSABSTRACT: This work investigates the use of Artificial Neural Networks to analyse the influence of ambiental variables in broilers. Data was obtained in the climatic chamber of Nucleous of Bioclimatology Research (NUPEA/ESALQ/USP). Broilers (males and females) of Ross genetic with 21, 28, 35, 42 e 49 day-old were submited to four combinations of temperature and relative humidity. Artificial Neural Networks were applied to evaluation of the influence and correlation of variables such as temperature, relative humidity, respiratory frequency, retal temperature and age in the weight gain of broilers. The results showed that it is difficult to predict the environmental conditions that the animal was subjected by the data set. The smallest error was obtained with the variable weight gain as output, suggesting that this one is the most strongly correlated with the other variables.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a análise temporal da cobertura vegetal, num período de 10 anos do município de Itaberá-SP, utilizando os índices de vegetação NDVI e NDWI por meio de imagens de satélite. Do ano de 2005 foram utilizadas duas imagens do Landsat 5 de órbita/ponto 221/76 e 221/77 e uma imagem de 2015 do Landsat 8, órbita/ponto 221/76. As bandas espectrais utilizadas foram: 3,4 e 5 do Landsat 5 e 4,5 e 6 do Landsat 8 que correspondem aos comprimentos de ondas do vermelho (RED), infravermelho próximo (NIR) e infravermelho médio (SWIR1), respectivamente. Através das análises dos índices, constatou que as áreas que possuem baixos valores de NDVI também possuem baixos valores de NDWI, o que indica uma vegetação que sofre estresse hídrico e com baixo teor de clorofila. Os valores mais altos indicam vegetação fotossinteticamente ativa, que contêm maior teor de umidade.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Sensoriamento remoto, processamento de imagens, cobertura vegetal. TEMPORAL ANALYSISUSING VEGETATION INDEX OF VEGETATION COVER IN ITABERA (SP)ABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to carry out the temporal analysis of the vegetation cover, in a period of 10 years of Itaberá-SP county, making use of the vegetation index NDVI and NDWI of satellites images. Two Landsat 5’s images of 2005 with path/row 221/76 and 221/77 and one Landsat 8’s image, path/row 221/76 were used. The spectral bands used ware: 3, 4 and 5 of the Landsat 5 and 4, 5 and 6 of the Landsat 8 that correspond to red waves lengths (RED), near infrared (NIR) and medium infrared (SWIR1), respectively. It was found that areas with low NDVI values also have low NDWI values, indicating vegetation water stress and low chlorophyll contents. The highest values indicate Photosynthetically active vegetation, which contain higher moisture contents.KEYWORDS: Remote sensing, images processing, vegetal cover.

La unificación del derecho comercial internacional: nueva lex mercatoria como alternativa al derecho estatal
Authors: Cándano Pérez Mabel 
Published: March 2018

La nueva lex mercatoria ha alcanzado un lugar en la unificación del derecho comercial internacional, para convenir la forma más justa de dirimir los conflictos entre comerciantes. Esto se refleja en un marco normativo conocido como los Principios de UNIDROIT, a pesar de la existencia de ordenamientos jurídicos en todo el mundo. En este artículo se analiza, a partir de las nuevas tendencias en el comercio internacional, las ventajas que trae consigo la figura de la lex mercatoria, como una alternativa al derecho estatal. En especial, se intenta exponer, a través de una metodología analítica, las causas, la naturaleza y los efectos de los Principios de UNIDROIT para los contratos internacionales. En consecuencia, se concluye que la concepción de esta figura se fundamenta en una elaboración detallada de un codificador privado, con términos flexibles, y su aplicación no está al margen de la intervención jurisdiccional de los Estados.

Published: March 2018

Information Communication Technologies have greatly impacted the education sector over the years leading to electronic service delivery. Universities all over the world are embracing Information Communication Technologies especially the internet, creating websites, making use of web 2.0 applications, that is, social networks and moving their services from manual based to electronic platforms. The study was comparative, looking extent to which the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) (Zimbabwe) and the University of Venda (RSA) have embraced ICTs in the conduct of business and how this has impacted on their service delivery. Universities have embraced ICTs in different levels, according to their capacity in terms of finances, human resources, institutional capacity and other variables. A combination of web content analysis and a comparative study of the web presence of the two universities was done which revealed that the universities are present on some web 2.0 applications though not fully exploiting all the functions. Websites for both universities were carefully analysed and the results showed that online service delivery was growing yet in need of full implementation and use. It is therefore recommended that these universities adopt online service delivery to enhance and develop lives of the university community.

Published: March 2018

<p class="Abstract">Thermoacoustic prime movers work by using thermal energy to produce acoustic energy in the form of sound wave through thermoacoustic effect which occurs in a porous medium called stack. This paper describes an experimental study on the relation between the order of resonance frequencies generated by a thermoacoustic prime mover and the length of the resonator and the viscous penetration depth. Extending the resonator length will decreasing the resonance frequency which result in the increasing in the viscous penetration depth. Generally, the generated sound consists of only one frequency, that is the first-order one. However, under certain conditions, the sound has only the second-order frequency or comprises two frequencies of the first-order and second-order resonance frequencies. This phenomenon can be explained by considering the comparison between the effective hydraulic radius of stack () and the viscous penetration depth (). It is found that the first-order frequency appears when , while when (with calculated by using the first-order frequency) then the second order frequency is produced so that is back to a smaller value and therefore the condition of is recovered. In addition, when of the thermoacoustic prime mover will<em> </em>generate the first and second order frequencies together.</p>
