FRICÇÕES DE UMA TRAMA PEDAGÓGICA: O CONHECIMENTO SE CONSTRÓI NO ENCONTRO COM O MUNDO
Authors: Pereira Dilson Miklos 
Published: May 2018

O artigo apresenta um recorte da pesquisa em curso no doutorado e integra uma das ações desenvolvidas no âmbito do Projeto Arqueologia de Saberes, Imagens e Afetos, uma experiência que aflora narrativas, imagens e sentidos no espaço da disciplina Arte e Educação, do Curso de Pedagogia de uma instituição de ensino superior do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A ação pedagógica oportunizada, em questão, foi a apropriação de um objeto prosaico da sociedade de consumo: um marcador de texto que reproduz a imagem gráfica de uma obra da artista plástica e escritora Sonia Lins. Walter Benjamin, Mikhail Bakhtin, Fayga Ostrower e Gilles Deleuze iluminam o percurso, possibilitando uma leitura que evidencia uma estética do cotidiano e o encontro com o outro e com o mundo. As narrativas discentes, que emergem dessa experiência estética e ética, revelam uma diversidade de olhares e capturas simbólicas. No cerne, o exercício de uma humanidade que contesta ações e valores que brutalizam o sujeito nos diversos contextos da vida.

Background: intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant health problem and a gross violation of the human rights of women. Nurses play an important role in providing support for these women. There is limited research on nurses' understanding and perceptions of their role in caring for women with IPV issues in India. Aim: to assess novice nurses' perceptions of self-efficacy, educational preparedness and their role in this area. Methods: this was a cross-sectional descriptive survey carried out among a convenience sample of novice nurses (n=83) at a tertiary care centre using self-reported questionnaires. Results: a majority of the subjects were confident and had adequate knowledge in dealing with women who have experienced IPV. A significantly positive relationship was found between educational preparedness and self-efficacy and attitudes towards nurses' roles in caring for these women. Conclusion: novice nurses were confident and held positive attitudes towards women who experienced IPV. Yet their self-efficacy in caring for these patients could be improved through continuing education and there is an urgent need to integrate comprehensive training on IPV to improve clinical competencies, including how to refer women for further support.

Published: May 2018

Los cuerpos académicos (CA) son grupos de investigación formados en México a principios del presente siglo en el marco de una política de desarrollo del profesorado de educación superior, que tienen a su cargo posgrados para formar investigadores. Indagamos acerca de lo que estudiantes de posgrado en el campo de la educación opinan acerca de lo que hacen los/as profesores/as integrantes de esos CA para ayudarles a conformar el ethos de un investigador. Entrevistamos 67 estudiantes de posgrado en el campo de la educación (43 mujeres y 24 hombres) de tres universidades. Seguimos una metodología cualitativa que combina la etnografía con la teoría fundamentada y utilizamos el software Atlas ti para sistematizar la información. Encontramos que los estudiantes consideran que basta con apropiarse de la eticidad (valores y pautas de conducta) para actuar éticamente y consideran la tutoría del profesor ético como clave en ese proceso. No aluden a estrategias para ayudarles a: tomar decisiones en relación con valores o normas en conflicto (juicio moral), juzgar problemas de equidad (juicio prudencial) y asumir responsabilidad en relación con el futuro de la humanidad. Esto revela que el apoyo que brindan los CA para construir el ethos del investigador es insuficiente.
A Differential UWB Quasi-Yagi Antenna with A Reconfigurable Notched Band
Authors: Wei Feng , Zou Xin Tong , Wang Xin Yi , Li Bin , Zhao Xi Bei 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
A compact differential ultra-wide band (UWB) planar quasi-Yagi antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of a balanced stepped-impedance microstrip-slotline transition structure, a driver dipole and one parasitic strip. A wide differential-mode (DM) impedance bandwidth covering from 3.8 to 9.5 GHz is realized. Meanwhile, a high and wideband common-mode (CM) suppression can be achieved by employing the balanced stepped-impedance microstrip-slotline transition structure. It is noted that the DM passband is independent from the CM response, which can significantly simplify the design procedure. In addition, a reconfigurable sharp DM notched band from 5.6 to 6.7 GHz is generated by adding one pair of quarter-wavelength varactor-loaded short-circuited stubs adjacent to the microstrip line symmetrically. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the design, two prototypes of the antennas are designed, fabricated, and measured. A good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.
Insect assemblages and their preference for Lupinus albus and L. luteus
Authors: Nikolova I. , Georgieva N. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractWhile lupin has undergone extensive research to ascertain its suitability for growth as forage or grain legume crop, the present trend is for research to be centered on its applicability in the seed protein and oil industry. Study of the literature showed that no intensive study of the lupin insect fauna had been carried out in Bulgaria. The purpose of this study was to identify the insect assemblages associated with Lupinus albus and L. luteus, as well as the insect preference for them. Thrips sampling was made by the tapping-method, aphids were directly counted on the plants and the composition and population density of other species were recorded by sweepings. Insect fauna was studied for the first time in Bulgaria. The fauna was represented on L. albus by 64 species, belonging to eight orders, 28 families and 57 genera, including 23 beetles, 25 hemipteras, five thrips, three butterflies, three bees, one leaf aphid, two grasshoppers, one leafminer and one green lacewing. L. luteus had similar species composition but was less preferred by insects. The use of lupin cultivars with shorter and intense reproductive periods, with a lower content of crude protein and phosphorus, would give an environmentally friendly protection against insect pests, which would be suitable for an organic production system.
Thermal properties variations in unconsolidated material for very shallow geothermal application (ITER project)
Authors: Sipio Eloisa Di , Bertermann David 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In engineering, agricultural and meteorological project design, sediment thermal properties are highly important parameters, and thermal conductivity plays a fundamental role when dimensioning ground heat exchangers, especially in very shallow geothermal systems. Herein, the first 2 m of depth from surface is of critical importance. However, the heat transfer determination in unconsolidated material is difficult to estimate, as it depends on several factors, including particle size, bulk density, water content, mineralogy composition and ground temperature. The performance of a very shallow geothermal system, as a horizontal collector or heat basket, is strongly correlated to the type of sediment at disposal and rapidly decreases in the case of dry-unsaturated conditions. The available experimental data are often scattered, incomplete and do not fully support thermo-active ground structure modeling. The ITER project, funded by the European Union, contributes to a better knowledge of the relationship between thermal conductivity and water content, required for understanding the very shallow geothermal systems behaviour in saturated and unsaturated conditions. So as to enhance the performance of horizontal geothermal heat exchangers, thermally enhanced backfilling material were tested in the laboratory, and an overview of physical-thermal properties variations under several moisture and load conditions for different mixtures of natural material was here presented.
Local convergence for an eighth order method for solving equations and systems of equations
Authors: Argyros Ioannis K. , George Santhosh 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe aim of this study is to extend the applicability of an eighth convergence order method from thek−dimensional Euclidean space to a Banach space setting. We use hypotheses only on the first derivative to show the local convergence of the method. Earlier studies use hypotheses up to the eighth derivative although only the first derivative and a divided difference of order one appear in the method. Moreover, we provide computable error bounds based on Lipschitz-type functions.

Abstract
Crowley, E, Harrison, AJ, and Lyons, M. Dry-land resistance training practices of elite swimming strength and conditioning coaches. J Strength Cond Res 32(9): 2592–2600, 2018—No research to date has investigated dry-land resistance (RT) training practices of elite swimming strength and conditioning coaches. This is the first comprehensive study exploring dry-land RT training practices in swimming. The aims of this study were to examine (a) the dry-land RT training practices and exercises used by elite swimming strength and conditioning coaches and (b) the rationale provided by coaches about their practices and prescription of specific dry-land RT training exercises. Twenty-three (n = 21 males, n = 2 females) elite swimming strength and conditioning coaches, from Ireland (n = 7), Great Britain (n = 5), Australia (n = 6), and the United States of America (n = 5) were recruited through their specific national governing bodies. Coaches completed an online questionnaire consisting of 7 sections; subject information, informed consent, coach's biography, coach education, current training commitments, dry-land RT training practices and exercises, and additional information. The results showed that coaches had varying levels of experience, education and worked with different level swimmers. A total of 95 dry-land RT training exercises were used by the coaches across 4 different dry-land RT training practices (warm-up, circuit training, traditional RT training and plyometrics). Traditional RT training (87%) was the most commonly practiced. The pull-up and squat were the most popular dry-land RT training exercises used by elite swimming strength and conditioning coaches. Future research needs to focus on exploring the specificity and the transfer of RT training exercises to swimming performance.

Abstract
Hill, EC, Housh, TJ, Smith, CM, Keller, JL, Schmidt, RJ, and Johnson, GO. High- vs. low-intensity fatiguing eccentric exercise on muscle thickness, strength, and blood flow. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 33–40, 2021—The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute effects of equal volumes of fatiguing high- vs. low-intensity eccentric muscle actions on changes in muscle thickness, echo intensity, muscle blood flow, and adipose thickness. Eighteen men (mean ± SD = 23.2 ± 3.0 years) performed eccentric peak torque (PT) and maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) trials before (pretest), immediately after (posttest), and 5 minutes after (recovery) performing randomly ordered fatiguing eccentric, isokinetic (180°·s−1) muscle actions of the elbow flexors at 40% (72 repetitions) or 80% (36 repetitions) of eccentric PT. Muscle thickness, exercise-induced edema, muscle blood flow, and adipose thickness were also assessed via ultrasound at pretest, posttest, and recovery. There were no intensity-specific effects on the patterns of responses for eccentric PT, MVIC, muscle thickness, echo intensity, muscle blood flow, or adipose thickness. There were, however, effects across time that decreased from pretest to posttest and from pretest to recovery for eccentric PT (21.5 and 13.0%), MVIC (14.6 and 5.8%), and adipose thickness (10.0 and 6.0%), but increased for muscle thickness (7.6 and 5.9%), echo intensity (13.7 and 9.9%), and muscle blood flow (129.6 and 90.1%) (collapsed across 40 and 80%). These findings indicated that when matched for exercise volume, there were no intensity-related effects on the increases in muscle thickness, echo intensity, muscle blood flow, or the decreases in eccentric PT, MVIC, and adipose thickness after fatiguing eccentric muscle actions. Therefore, exercise volume, independent of exercise intensity and number of repetitions, may be a mediating factor of muscle fatigue and performance during eccentric muscle actions.

Published: May 2018

AbstractIn the application of hot-mix asphalt pavement (HMA), tension at the bottom of the HMA layer creates one of the most challenging distresses to pavement structures, fatigue cracking. Adding rubber to the asphalt mix can extend the life of a pavement and provide an end use for old tires that would otherwise end up in a landfill. It is already known that the initial construction cost of an asphalt rubber mix will be higher than that of a conventional mix. However, the purpose of this article is to investigate if the reduced layer thickness and improved fatigue life will offset the initial cost. After completing a mechanistic analysis using the FHWA software package named 3D Move (University of Nevada, Reno, NV), the pavement thickness required to last for 50,000,000 cycles (the estimated endurance limit) was found to be much less for asphalt rubber mixes as opposed to the reference HMA. The cost to construct one lane mile of the reference mix pavement designed for 113 kph traffic was $190,031, while the cost for asphalt rubber mix at the same speed came out to be $187,629. This is a $2,402 difference. Additionally, the cost to construct 1.6 km of lane of the reference mix and asphalt rubber mix for four more different vehicle speeds was calculated. Overall, analysis showed that Asphalt Rubber (AR) modified asphalt mixtures exhibited significantly lower cost of pavement per 1,000 cycles of fatigue life per mile compared to the conventional HMA mixture.

Authors: Zhao Yi , Mahmood Nabeel S. , Coffman Richard A. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
By using a back-pressure saturated, constant rate-of-strain consolidation device with bender elements (BP-CRS-BE), values of large-strain constrained modulus (M) and small-strain shear modulus (Gmax) were obtained from tests performed on kaolinite soil specimens. The methodology and procedures that were utilized to obtain values of M, Gmax, large-strain shear modulus (G), drained Poisson’s ratio (ν), horizontal effective stress (σh′), vertical effective stress (σv′), specific volume (v), coefficient of lateral earth pressure during unloading (K0,UL), and drained friction angle (ϕ′) are discussed herein. The following five observations were made. (1) The Gmax values increased with increasing values of σv′ and decreased with increasing values of the overconsolidation ratio (OCR). (2) The Gmax values that were obtained by utilizing correlations and the large-strain BP-CRS-BE testing data (identified as GmaxCRS,p′), which were back-calculated by considering the modulus reduction, matched the Gmax values that were obtained from the bender element measurements within the BP-CRS-BE device (Gmax,BE). (3) The ν values increased with increasing σv′ values but decreased with the increasing void ratio (e) values. (4) The K0,UL values increased with increasing OCR values. (5) The ϕ values that were calculated for the soil that was tested within the BP-CRS-BE device by using the K0,UL-OCR data that were obtained from the BP-CRS-BE device (21.2°, 16.0°, and 24.7°) were similar to the ϕ′ values that were obtained from modified Mohr-Coulomb diagram from triaxial tests on the same soil (20.7°).
