Una estrategia para lograr: el Reino Unido busca innovar en competitividad, 1998-2005
Authors: Sandino-Vargas Enrique 
Published: June 2017

Este artículo analiza el caso de una estrategia de innovación genuina en términos de competitividad, tal como fue adoptada por el Reino Unido durante los años comprendidos entre 1998 y 2005. La evidencia se encontró mediante la sistematización de antecedentes, medidas, escenarios, implementación y progreso de tal estrategia, según la cual se considera que la única fuente sólida de conocimientos es la actividad de Investigación y Desarrollo (I+D). Esto va a ser demostrado con el seguimiento de estrategias de innovación genuina, durante el sentido de los esfuerzos del Reino Unido por impulsar la actividad de I+D, en el período analizado, para así determinar las brechas reales entre el Reino Unido y sus principales competidores. En una economía global como la de hoy, la competitividad busca desarrollar estrategias complejas y revolucionarias. Las economías basadas en el conocimiento están tratando de mantener su competitividad dentro y fuera de sus fronteras. A finales del siglo veinte, en efecto, ser competente y com-petitivo es la mejor estrategia para crear y mantener el capital intelectual de las organizaciones.
Histórias em quadrinhos na sala de aula: leitura de mundos
Authors: Pivovar Altair 
Published: June 2017

RESUMO Assentado no pressuposto de que o ser humano se vê na contingência incessante de decidir como agir satisfatoriamente nos multifacetados espaços pelos quais se vê obrigado a circular, defende-se neste texto que a leitura se dá sempre a partir do ambiente em que o indivíduo se encontra, já que as condições do entorno são essenciais para que uma reação adequada à manutenção de sua existência possa ser tomada. Na esteira dessa compreensão, o texto procura demonstrar de que forma a sala de aula, por ter se tornado um ambiente repetitivo e que não dá condições ao sujeito de reagir ao meio, teria perdido o potencial para desenvolver a capacidade leitora das crianças, jovens e adultos que a frequentam. O texto propõe então que histórias em quadrinhos, desde que o trabalho não fique restrito às publicações oriundas da comunicação de massa, podem cumprir essa finalidade, proporcionando aos alunos o contato com obras que ofereçam sempre novos modos de organização do espaço ficcional, chamados de “protocolos de leitura”, que fazem as vezes da chamada leitura de mundo. Palavras-chave: Leitura. Histórias em quadrinhos. Ensino-aprendizagem. ABSTRACT Supposing human beings constantly have to make expected decisions according to social conventions, the following paper is based on the idea that reading must reflect the environment where one lives since the contradictions of such environment are essential for a full life. Thus, it tries to show how classroom activities, as they have become repetitive and do not offer one the conditions to interact with the real world, have lost the potential to develop students’ reading capacity. It suggests that comic books, since the activity is not constrained to popular publications, can show students a new fictional point of view called “reading protocol”, which can be seen as a way of reading the world. Keywords: Reading. Comic books. Teaching-learning.
Classification of Fake Product Ratings Using a Timeline Based Approach
Authors: Thomas Neha , Elias Susan 
Published: June 2017

Abstract— Detection of fake review and reviewers is currently a challenging problem in cyber space. It is challenging primarily due to the dynamic nature of the methodology used to fake the review. There are several aspects to be considered when analyzing reviews to classify them effective into genuine and fake. Sentiment analysis, opinion mining and intend mining are fields of research that try to accomplish the goal through Natural Language Processing of the text content of the review. In this paper, an approach that uses the review ratings evaluated along a timeline is presented. An Amazon dataset comprising of ratings indicated for a wide range of products was used for the analysis presented here. The analysis of the ratings was carried out for an electronic product over a period of six years. The computed average rating helps to identify linear classifiers that define solution boundaries within the dataspace. This enables a product specific classification of review ratings and suitable recommendations can also be generated automatically. The paper explains a methodology to evaluate the average product ratings over time and presents the research outcomes using a novel classification tool. The proposed approach helps to determine the optimal point to distinguish between fake and genuine ratings for each product.

An Efficient Parallel Algorithm for Latin Square Design: A Multi Core CPU Approach
Authors: Rathod Abhay B. , Gulhane Sanjay M. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract— The theory of Latin squares is very important tool in design theory. Like much of design theory, Latin squares have various applications in statistics, finite geometries and experimental design, to name a few. In this paper, we proposed an efficient parallel algorithm for Latin square design which have desirable properties for parallel array access. These squares provide conflict free access to various subsets of an n x n array using n memory modules. A transversal of such a square is a set of n entries such that no two entries share the same row, column or symbol. We present a general construction method for building parallel Latin square of order n2 for all n.
The proposed algorithm presents a quick parallel method to produce a Latin square design and a parallel conflict access of data in SIMD system. The simulation results of the proposed parallel algorithm for Latin square design were compared with the traditional sequential algorithm Latin square design in terms of speedup and efficiency. The results of parallel Latin Square design were very promising and showed a potential that this design could successfully be applied to the parallel routing problems for conflict free data access. At last, the results show that the parallel versions of former sequential algorithm with simple modifications achieve the super linear speedup up to 200 times for matrix size of 256.

FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE CALDAS: EL CAMINO DE LAS CIENCIAS ES EL CAMINO DE LA VIRTUD
Authors: Duque Martinez Luz Marina 
Published: June 2017

Francisco José de Caldas es una figura reconocida en la historia científica de nuestro país. Se han estudiado muchos aspectos de su vida y de su obra; quizá haya uno que permanece a la espera de ser analizado y es el de las relaciones entre sus profundas creencias religiosas y su ejercicio científico. Como ilustrado criollo compartía la idea de que la naturaleza debía ser estudiada a la luz de la razón, creía como muchos pensadores de su época, que el orden de la naturaleza era expresión de la sabiduría de Dios, pero nunca identificó la naturaleza con Dios ni renunció a la práctica de su fe católica. Caldas fue educado con una estricta disciplina y una máxima ponderación de las virtudes, características ambas que el neogranadino hizo suyas y puso en práctica a lo largo de su vida. “Nada grande se ha hecho en el mundo sin pasión” dijo Hegel. La pasión de Caldas por las ciencias estuvo alimentada por su voluntaria abstinencia.

A cien años de la reforma de Córdoba, 1918-2018 La época, los acontecimientos, el legado.
Authors: Acevedo Tarazona Álvaro 
Published: June 2017

La autonomía y el cogobierno son las conquistas más representativas de la Reforma de Córdoba de 1918, una proclama estudiantil del orden político y académico que traspasó las fronteras nacionales del continente latinoamericano. Si bien los acontecimientos y consecuencias de esta Reforma han llamado la atención de especialistas en la historia de la universidad y de los movimientos sociales, a casi cien años del legado de Córdoba es más que necesario hacer una valoración retrospectiva desde la universidad actual hasta los principios esenciales del Manifiesto de 1918, los ideales y las tareas de la universidad.

Published: June 2017

ResumenEn la actualidad el sector construcción afronta dos importantes retos relacionados con disminuir el impacto ambiental de sus proyectos y lograr una mayor eficiencia en los procesos constructivos, entregando a los clientes soluciones apropiadas que cumplan los requisitos. Como respuesta a la necesidad de lograr proyectos que respondan adecuadamente a las necesidades del entorno han surgido en los últimos años metodologías de integración de proyectos, conocidas como Building Information Modeling (BIM), que permiten generar modelos digitales de proyectos que contribuyen a minimizar errores, detectar tempranamente incompatibilidades y permiten a los participantes trabajar de manera integrada. Estas metodologías tienen una notable sinergia con la sostenibilidad, pues a partir de las modelaciones digitales es posible conocer aspectos el desempeñode los proyectos durante su vida útil y poder analizar diferentes opciones que minimicen sus impactos ambientales. El presente estudio se enfoca en determinar el desempeño, en términos de sostenibilidad, de un proyecto de construcción de una edificación en Colombia, utilizando una plataforma BIM para determinar a partir de simulaciones el consumo energía eléctrica, huella de carbono por materiales y la energía incorporada total del proyecto, generando diseños alternativos y analizando los resultados contemplando la viabilidad económica de los escenarios planteados.
Variación morfométrica en el ensamblaje de aves passeriformes presentes en dos zonas de bosque tropical con diferente grado de perturbación

Published: June 2017

La asociación entre la morfología y el hábitat ha sido demostrada en muchos estudios de morfología funcional, por lo cual cambios a nivel de hábitat pueden ser reflejados en los atributos morfológicos de las comunidades. El presente estudio evaluó si existen diferencias en las características morfológicas del ensamblaje de aves paseriformes entre dos zonas con diferente grado de perturbación; para lo cual, se realizaron capturas con redes de niebla y se registraron características morfométricas de los individuos capturados. Se encontró que existe una tendencia hacia la diferenciación morfológica de las aves passeriformes entre las zonas y que estas se deben principalmente a las relaciones entre las longitudes de los tarsos, las alas y la cola con la longitud total. A partir de estas relaciones, se establecieron dos morfologías básicas: las aves de bosque tienen alas cortas, tarsos y cola larga; mientras que las aves de la zona intervenida presentan alas largas, tarsos y cola corta. Sin embargo, se encontraron aves con morfologías intermedias en ambas zonas. Por lo tanto, los resultados sugieren que los hábitats intervenidos cambian no solo la composición de especies sino también las características morfológicas de los ensamblajes de Passeriformes debido, probablemente, a un proceso de homogenización biótica.
Optics and spectroscopy of a single plasmonic nanostructure
Authors: Balykin V I , Melentiev P N 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
We review the interaction of laser light with a single plasmonic nanostructure. Until recently, the extremely weak optical response of a single nanostructure had only allowed spectroscopic research on ensembles of nanoparticles, where both structural and material parameters vary from one nanoparticle to another and the optical response is therefore averaged over the ensemble. Measurements at the level of a single nanostructure provide an effective tool for investigating the fundamental optical and spectroscopic properties of nanostructures, allowing insight into the mechanisms of elementary physical processes and permitting one to avoid the averaging procedure with the inevitable loss of physical information. The diverse range of linear-interaction optical phenomena occurring in a weak light field is reviewed and nonlinear interaction with high-intensity radiation is discussed.

Introduction: Tunnelled dialysis catheters (TDCs) are being increasingly inserted by nephrologists globally but there is limited experience and paucity of published outcomes data from South-East Asia (SEA). This study was conducted to analyse the outcomes of TDC insertion by nephrologists from a single centre in SEA. Methods All patients who underwent TDC insertion by nephrologists from October 2013 to June 2016 were included. TDC survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival method. Impact of variables was assessed using Cox proportional hazards model. Results A total of 344 TDCs were inserted in 274 patients. The most common indication was haemodialysis initiation (60.2%) followed by existing catheter dysfunction (CD) (12.2%), failed vascular access (10.2%) and catheter-related bacteraemia (CRB) (9.9%). Insertion was successful in 97% patients. The most common location was the right internal jugular vein (87%). The cumulative survival for all TDCs inserted, as defined by the time to non-elective removal of a TDC, at 3, 6 and 9 months was 83%, 61%, and 44%, respectively. Median catheter survival was 231 days. Common indications for removal were CD (13.4%) and CRB or suspected infection (12.5%). Common complications were bleeding (8.72%), infection (13.7%) and CD (16.5%). Median time to infection was 103 days. In multivariate analysis, male gender was associated with poor catheter survival, for primary insertions (p = 0.015, HR 0.62) and diabetes was associated with TDC infection (p = 0.024, OR 1.1). Conclusions This is one of the first reports of TDC insertion by nephrologists from SEA. Our outcomes compare favourably with those reported in the literature.
Judicial Jurisdiction over Internet Privacy Violations and the GDPR: a Case of ''Privacy Tourism''?
Authors: Revolidis Ioannis 
Published: June 2017

This paper discusses the impact of art. 79(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in international litigation over online privacy violations. The first part introduces the tendency of the European legislator to treat private international law problems in the field of data protection as isolated and independent from the traditional secondary private international law acts. The second part analyses the current status quo of international jurisdiction over online privacy violations according to Regulation 1215/2012. After briefly examining the eDate and Martinez ruling (joined cases C-509/09 and C-161/10), it concludes that the Court of Justice of the European Union has stretched the jurisdictional grounds of art. 7(2) Regulation 1215/2012 too far in order to afford strong protection to data subjects. In that sense, it raises doubts on whether art. 79(2) was necessary. Following this conclusion, it tries to explore the uneasy relationship of GDPR art. 79(2) with the jurisdictional regime established under Regulation 1215/2012. Instead of an epilogue, the last part tries to make some reflections on the impact of GDPR art. 79(2) in privacy litigation cases involving non-EU parties.
The European Commission’s Geo-blocking Proposals and the Future of EU E‑commerce Regulation
Authors: Van Cleynenbreugel Pieter 
Published: June 2017

As part of its Digital Single Market strategy, the European Commission envisages to take action aimed at eradicating the practice of blocking one’s website to persons established or residing in a particular EU Member State. To that extent, a 2015 proposal for a regulation on the portability of online streaming services and a 2016 proposal for a regulation on geo-blocking outside the audio-visual context have been presented, the scope of which will be analysed in this paper.Although the proposed Regulations would tackle topical problems in EU e commerce and thus offer a necessary step forward in enhancing cross-border trade in the European Union, their envisaged regulatory approach raises important concerns from enforcement and rules’ circumvention points of view.Taking stock of those two concerns, the paper will reflect upon ways to mitigate their detrimental effects. Arguing that the geo-blocking proposals already contain the basic tools for such mitigation, the paper advocates the adoption of a more streamlined EU competition law and e-commerce regulation enforcement strategy, complemented by a “technologically more pro-active” EU law interpretation stance to e-commerce at the EU level.

Background
In Burkina Faso, it is not uncommon for mothers to drink alcohol, even during pregnancy. We aimed to study the association between maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy and the child’s cognitive performance using the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd edition (KABC-II) and the Children’s Category Test Level 1 (CCT-1) in rural Burkina Faso.

Methods
We conducted a follow-up study of a community cluster-randomised Exclusive breastfeeding trial, and re-enrolled the children in rural Burkina Faso. A total of 518 children (268 boys and 250 girls) aged 6–8 years were assessed using the KABC-II and the CCT-1. We examined the effect size difference using Cohen’s d and conducted a linear regression analysis to examine the association.

Results
Self-reported alcohol consumption during pregnancy was 18.5% (96/518). Children whose mothers reported alcohol consumption during pregnancy performed significantly poorly for memory and spatial abilities tests from small effect size difference for ‘Atlantis’ (0.27) and ‘Triangle’ (0.29) to moderate effect size difference for ‘Number recall’ (0.72) compared to children whose mothers did not consume alcohol during pregnancy; the exposed children scored significantly higher errors with a small effect size (0.37) at problem solving (CCT-1) test compared to unexposed children.
At unstandardized and standardized multivariable analysis, children whose mothers reported alcohol consumption during pregnancy performed significantly poorer for memory-‘Atlantis’ (p = 0.03) and ‘Number recall’ (p = 0.0001), and spatial ability tests-‘Triangle’ (p = 0.03); they scored significantly higher errors at problem solving CCT-1 test (p = 0.002); all the results were adjusted for age, sex, schooling, stunting, father’s education, mother’s employment and the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding. No statistical association was found for visual abilities-‘Conceptual Thinking’, ‘Face recognition’, ‘Story completion’, and reasoning tests-‘Rover’, ‘Block counting’, and ‘Pattern Reasoning’.

Conclusion
Maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy is associated with poorer cognitive performance for memory, spatial ability, and problem solving tests in the offspring in rural Burkina Faso. Futures studies needs to assess in more detail the maternal alcohol consumption patterns in Burkina Faso and possible preventive strategies.
CORROSION STUDIES OF STEEL PILING IN SEA WATER IN BOSTON HARBOR
Authors: Wey George L. 
Published: June 2017

A vital problem which has resulted from our present economic justification of the use of steel piles in all of the Port's waterfront terminals is the corrosion of the piles in sea water. The selection of some type of steel piles was not made on the basis of greater resistance to fire and marine organisms, but for purely economic reasons. Timber piling has its marine borer problem, and steel has its corrosion. In this article there are three thoughts which I hope to convey to every engineer engaged in coastal engineering, namely:
(1) Each project's corrosion consideration should be treated as a distinct and separate study in designing a pile-supported structure, based on investigation of adjacent local conditions.
(2) There is nothing universal about the pattern or rate of corrosion to be expected; it is subject to many variables.
(3) Provisions or measures to mitigate or eliminate corrosion should have economic justification consistent with the planned life expectancy of the study.
AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF DRIFT PROFILES IN A CLOSED CHANNEL
Authors: Russell R. C. H. , Osorio J. D. C. 
Published: June 2017

The first order theory of water waves states that water particles move in closed orbits; that this was not exactly so, and that there was a slow drift of the water in the direction of wave propagation, was first realised by Stokes(1) who proposed a solution of the horizontal drift or mass transport for waves in an inviscid fluid. Recently the effect of the viscosity has been investigated by .Longuet-Higgins (2) Experimental measurements have been made by Caligny (3), the U.S. Beach Erosion Board (4), Bagnold (5), and previously by the Hydraulics Research Station. The evidence from these sources is incomplete.
In the experiments described in this paper measurements of the mass transport at all levels were made with progressive waves, varying in length from about 1 1/2 to 50 ft and in water between 6 and 20 in. deep.
