Methodology for Design of an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) Architecture for Intermediate Colombian City
Authors: Salazar-Cabrera Ricardo , Pachon Alvaro 
Published: April 2019

Colombia has a high death rate due to traffic accidents, compared to the world reference. In particular, intermediate cities of the country have a very high death rate due to traffic accidents, much higher than the national rate and large cities rate. Municipalities and mobility secretariats have tried to solve these problems through the development of technological services, within the framework of the so-calledIntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, in most cases, these services are not based on an adequate ITS architecture, therefore, interoperability and integration of services is not feasible, generates high costs and its implementation is complex to carry out. The development of the services is not based on ITS architecture, due to the fact that this architecture has not been developed. Althoughthere are works related to regional ITS architectural design methodologies, there is no methodology that considers diverse sources of reference and the particular context of the city. To encourage the development of mobility services, using an appropriate ITS architecture, we develop a methodology to design it in an intermediate city of a developing country. To formulate the methodology, we review the related documentation; we identify best practices; we consider the scope and context; and finally, we defined a logical process that was easy to implement. The present article details design methodology that we elaborate and presents the results obtained when applying the methodology in a particular case. Methodology obtained allowed the design of an ITS architecture for city of Popayán, in addition we consider that it serves as a tool for development of ITS architectures in similar contexts. ITS architecture designed willallow to plan and implement the mobility services of the city in an appropriate way.

Bateson, Velázquez da Antropologia: reflexões acerca do olhar moderno a partir de Michel Foucault
Authors: Lages Mauricio Piatti 
Published: April 2019

Seguindo Foucault em As palavras e as coisas, recorre-se à exposição das duas mais recentes configurações do conhecimento ocidental, as chamadas epistémês clássica e moderna, no intuito de se problematizar a noção de um “retrato fidedigno do real”. Como saída didática, tomamos o quadro Las meninas, de Diego Velázquez, enquanto objeto heurístico para contrapor as diferentes possibilidades de leitura epistêmica. Por último, a fim de trazer a discussão para o escopo das ciências sociais, o antropólogo norte-americano Gregory Bateson entra em cena como representante de um dos tipos de interpretação, enquanto tentamos construir uma analogia entre a técnica da pintura e os dilemas da etnografia e metodologia científica.
A realidade da fantasia e a fantasia da realidade: Borges e a fenda foucaultiana
Authors: Marques Lucas De Mendonça 
Published: April 2019

Quais conexões possíveis poderíamos traçar entre a obra literária de Jorge Luis Borges e a filosofia de Foucault? No prefácio de As Palavras e as Coisas, Foucault nos traça algumas sugestões. Neste artigo intento, a partir desta obra de Foucault, explorar algumas destas sugestões, relacionando-as com suas influências literárias e o modo como essa literatura – focando aqui a de Borges – possibilitou o espaço mesmo onde seu pensamento pôde ser construído. Por fim, a partir do conceito foucaultiano de heterotopia, busco de que modo essas fendas nos fazem questionar nossas próprias realidades, possibilitando-nos pensar o impensável

Background: Due to high increase in the population, there is sharp increase in the accidental, homicidal, suicidal and natural deaths. Objective: To evaluate and audit the frequency of death patterns in the city of Faisalabad. Study Design: It is a cross sectional study. Setting & Duration: Study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Faisalabad Medical University (FMU) Faisalabad for a period of one year i.e. 1st January, 2017 to 31st December, 2017. Methodology: The record of all unnatural deaths brought for medicolegal autopsies during the study period were examined in detail with special reference to the frequency of death patterns, manners & modalities of those cases. The data was entered in the predesigned performa & analysed by using SPSS. Results: Study revealed that frequency of unnatural death in Faisalabad is similar to those conducted in other cities, but higher rates may be due to the fact that Faisalabad is thickly populated & third largest city of Pakistan. Out of total 255 cases of unnatural deaths reported for medico-legal autopsies in FMU Faisalabad (80.40 %) were male and (19.6%) females. Accidental deaths occurred in (28.62%) cases, homicidal deaths involved (50.58%), suicide took the lives of (3.9%) cases and (2.7%) persons died of natural causes whereas manner of death remained undetermined in (14.11%) cases. Unnatural deaths were reported more frequently in the age group 20–29 years involving (24.70%) cases. Conclusion: Homicide is higher in this region and Firearm is the weapon of choice for assailants. This increasing death toll of homicide may be due to increase in frustration and intolerance in the society.

Published: April 2019

Background: Primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) is a common entity with associated different types of intranasal abnormalities. The pathogenesis of PANDO is unknown. The objective of the study was to describe the intranasal findings in cases of PANDO and find out any association of these findings to the disease.
Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was designed consisting of 50 cases of unilateral PANDO with epiphora and 50 normal volunteers with no history of epiphora. Nasal Evaluation was done with anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopy. Data was tabulated and analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: The mean age in the unilateral PANDO group was 33.6 years and 34.5 years in the normal volunteer’s group (P-0.84). Left sided dominance of PANDO was observed in 64% (32/50) cases. The odds of having Nasolacrimal duct (NLD) obstruction was1.6 times more among individuals having septal deviation versus no deviation (95% CI, 0.907–2.78). The laterality of septal deviation was corresponding to the side of NLD obstruction in 91% (31/34) cases. High located DNS was more common in the PANDO group which was significant (P-value 0.012). Turbinate hypertrophy, the presence of septal spur or rhinitis had no significant association with NLD obstruction.
Conclusions: Deviated nasal septum (DNS), turbinate hypertrophy, septal spur and rhinitis were the associated intranasal findings in cases of unilateral PANDO. A significant association exists between DNS and PANDO, although a cause and effect relation require further probing.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Scaffolds were developed from mixtures of calcium aluminate (CA) and a bioactive glass (BG) and the effect of glass content on the mechanical strength and bioactivity of scaffolds was studied. Three different mixtures were tested: 95CA-5BG, 92.5CA-7.5BG and 90AC-10BG wt.%. Also, for comparison purposes, pure CA was used. In order to obtain the calcium aluminate cements (CAC), mixtures were hydrated using a water/mixture ratio by weight (w/c) of 0.4 and, with the resulting pastes, scaffolds were made by the lost-spheres method using PMMA beads. These materials showed interconnected pores (215 μm average diameter). Obtained scaffolds were loaded with antibiotic (gentamicin sulfate) and its release kinetics was studied. The evaluation of the in-vitro bioactivity was carried out by immersing scaffolds in a simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1, 7, 14 or 21 days at 36.5 °C. Compressive strength was evaluated before and after each immersion period. In all cases the formation of a Ca,P-rich compound on the surface of the scaffolds was detected after immersion in SBF. The amount of the bioactive compound formed as well as compressive strength increased as the amount of bioglass was increased. A controlled antibiotic release in SBF, with diffusion-controlled kinetics, was observed. In addition, scaffolds were not hemolytic. According to the results obtained, these materials are promising candidates for biomedical applications as drug delivery systems.

Published: April 2019

Introduction. The study of the linguistic consciousness of representatives of variousethnic groups does not lose its relevance in modern psycholinguistics. The overwhelming partof the researches of this problem is based on the materials of associative experiments. There havebeen accumulated a lot of these experiments both in lexicographical works and in separatescientific researches from the middle of the last century up to now. This fact allows studyingof the linguistic consciousness at a certain time slice and in dynamics. However, the list ofstimuli is not comprehensive, therefore, the materials of free associative experiments, that wasconducted in Ukraine in 2000 and in 2012, have been used, in order to achieve the purpose ofthis work.Purpose. The purpose of the study is to reveal the structure of the associative value bythe example of the associative fields of the stimulus ЦІННІСТЬ in the Ukrainian language.Methods. The structure of associative fields was discovered through the “associativegestalt”, which made an attempt to illustrate the trends of changing in the linguistic consciousnessof the representatives of the Ukrainian ethnic group at the beginning of the 21st century.Results. The article presents the results of the psycholinguistic analysis of the associativefields of the word-stimulus ЦІННІСТЬ, that were obtained from Ukrainian respondents withthe interval of twelve years, which represent the dynamics of changes in the correspondingfragments of the world image of Ukrainians.
Conclusion. The study of the meaning of the word on the material of lexicographicsources and a number of associative experiments that were applied to a specific word-stimulus isjustified and necessary for the comprehensive identification of semantics.
