En una era digital, la modernización del Estado es un desafío que debe realizarse de forma imperante; sin estos avances, el efectivo ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales como el acceso a la información pública, la participación ciudadana y control social, seguirán siendo una utopía; la investigación brinda una análisis descriptivo analítico del cumplimiento de los requisitos (mínimos) obligatorios establecidos por la normativa en cuanto a la difusión de la información pública en las páginas web de cada uno de los Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados (GADS) Parroquiales Rurales del Cantón Quito, de la Provincia de Pichincha, tomando como base de estudio el artículo 7 de la Ley Orgánica de Trasparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública (LOTAIP), la Constitución del Ecuador y el “Proyecto de Implementación de Estrategias para la Transparencia y Anticorrupción en el GAD Provincial de Pichincha; GAD Metropolitano de Quito y sus GADS Parroquiales Rurales 2020–2021” lo que permite sustentar los datos recogidos en la investigación. Los datos que evidencia el análisis plantean un panorama crítico, tomando en cuenta que un ochenta y cinco por ciento de los gobiernos en estudio no mantienen informada a su población de la gestión que realizan, concluyendo así que la falta de transparencia sigue siendo un problema que no suple la tecnología. Este trabajo hace énfasis constitucional, legal y la puesta en práctica de manera crítica sobre el acceso a la información pública en la gestión que realizan los gobiernos autónomos descentralizados de las parroquias rurales del Cantón Quito, Provincia de Pichincha”, como parte del “Proyecto de implementación de estrategias para la transparencia y anticorrupción en el GAD Provincial de Pichincha; GAD Metropolitano de Quito y sus GADs parroquiales rurales 2020–2021” realizado con la participación de los estudiantes del Sexto Semestre de la Carrera de Derecho, modalidades Presencial y Semipresencial.

La diarrea del viajero (DV) es la complejidad más común y su repercusión varía en función de muchas variables: edad, lugar de destino, estación del año, tipo de residencia, origen del viajero y, por supuesto, la dieta durante el viaje, en definición es la emisión de heces sueltas tres o más veces al día, se adquiere mayormente al consumir alimentos y bebidas contaminados con patógenos que ocasionen diarrea. A nivel mundial, las causas más comunes de DV son dos patotipos de Escherichia coli (enterotoxigénica y enteroagregativa) y Campylobacter, aunque existen variaciones significativas según el área geográfica visitada. Algunos autores han detectado la presencia de diarrea en más de la mitad de los viajeros a países en vías de desarrollo. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 15 hospitales centinelas de la zona 9 del Sistema de Vigilancia de la resistencia antimicrobiana, en la provincia de Pichincha Quito, Ecuador entre enero 2019 a enero 2020, con el objeto de caracterizar los eventos de DV. 517 registros, solo en 298 se asento la procedencia, pudiendo atribuirse a ese 42,34% la procedencia por nacionalidad, se estimó que 108 casos presentaron infección mixta de al menos una bacteria y otro tipo de agresor, lo que representa 36,24%, siendo el agente causal principalmente involucrado ETEC, seguida de E. coli H7:O157 (N=60). Igualmente, ETEC es el responsable de la mayor severidad en los cuadros clínicos, siendo responsable del 50,00% de los casos en esta categoría.

Este artículo considera la proclama del cabildo abierto de Portoviejo, del 16 de diciembre de 1821, y su importancia en la anexión de la gobernación de Cuenca, la provincia de Quito y, después, la Provincia Libre de Guayaquil a la República de Colombia. Para fundamentar la soberanía territorial de Colombia se usaron varias fórmulas de transferencia de las soberanías provinciales hacia la naciente república. En primer lugar, el artículo explica la invocación del uti possidetis iuris en la Ley Fundamental de 1819 para legitimar el derecho de posesión de los territorios al sur de Popayán. Seguidamente, se analiza el reconocimiento del principio de posesión territorial por parte del cabildo abierto portovejense. En tercer lugar, se consideran las fórmulas de transferencia empleadas para consolidar la anexión de Quito y otras ciudades, mediante la capitulación armada y el consentimiento pactista. Finalmente, se estudia el desconocimiento de la independencia de Guayaquil por parte de Bolívar.

Desde julio de 1680, y por más de una década, la población de la provincia minera de las Barbacoas, localizada en el húmedo litoral del Pacífico del territorio de la actual Colombia, afrontó una serie de encuentros desagradables con bucaneros, tanto ingleses como franceses. Esta era la primera vez, desde comienzos de 1640, que intrusos extranjeros amenazaban al Pacífico español y a Las Barbacoas, una sub-provincia de la Audiencia, de Quito, colonizada a principios del siglo XVII, que no estaba preparada para enfrentar asaltantes armados. Los campos mineros y los centros comerciales de las Barbacoas, accesibles por mar, no sufrieron durante el siglo XVII incursiones piratas, a pesar de las múltiples invasiones destructoras que los bucaneros efectuaron en numerosas poblaciones de la costa que corre desde la Baja California hasta el sur de Chile.

Una de las técnicas de prospección geofísica más prometedoras en el campo de la arqueología es la magnetometría gradiométrica de protones. La magnetometría consiste en la detección de anomalías locales en la intensidad del campo magnético terrestre. Su aplicación está dirigida a la detección de anomalías de origen antrópico. Esta investigación detalla las principales conclusiones obtenidas del uso de magnetometría en las prospecciones realizadas conjuntamente con el Instituto Metropolitano de Patrimonio de Quito (IMPQ) y el Instituto Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural del Ecuador (INPC). Estos estudios desarrollados en la localidad de Perucho, al norte de la ciudad de Quito destacan por la importancia de los hallazgos de contextos funerarios y material cerámico pertenecientes a la cultura Caranquí que ocupó la Sierra Norte del Ecuador durante el periodo de Integración (500 – 1500 d.C.).

Full textAbstract:
Durante el periodo colonial se da en el territorio de la Real Audiencia de Quito, un gran desarrollo del arte, ligado al arte religioso. El epicentro de dicha producción artística estuvo centrado en Quito, sin embargo, desde finales del siglo XIX, esta tradición artística se traslada a la localidad de San Antonio de Ibarra, en la provincia de Imbabura (Ecuador), dando paso a un período de florecimiento del arte. El presente artículo se estructura en dos apartados. El primero, hace un acercamiento al estado del arte de la provincia desde el fin de la colonia hasta inicios de este periodo de auge, donde se intenta esclarecer si hubo o no producción artística durante esta etapa. Se toma como referencia las ciudades de Ibarra y Otavalo, principales centros económicos y administrativos de la provincia desde la época colonial. El segundo apartado, estudia la etapa de florecimiento del arte en San Antonio de Ibarra, enfocado sobre todo en el arte de la pintura, que marca a partir de 1884, momento en que se instala la primera escuela de arte y oficios en San Antonio de Ibarra, a cargo de los hermanos Reyes, siendo Luis Reyes, el hermano menor, el encargado de transmitir el arte de la pintura bajo la estética de la Escuela Quiteña, manifestación artística desarrollada durante la época colonial. Esta investigación se apoya principalmente en fuentes primarias: censos de ocupación, certificados de bautismo, libros de actas, inventarios de bienes; además de algunas fuentes secundarias que proporcionan datos parciales que ayudan a reconstruir algunos aspectos del pasado.

Full textAbstract:
El presente trabajo aborda el estudio de la comercialización de quito quito en la provincia de Oxapampa, respondiendo a la interrogante ¿Cuál es la situación actual de la comercialización de quito quito en la provincia de Oxapampa? La investigación se realizó en base a la metodología de estudio de caso, obteniendo información con encuestas a productores, comercializadores, agroindustrias y expertos en la temática estudiada. Se analiza la variable de la comercialización. Como hipótesis del trabajo se tiene que, la situación actual de la comercialización de quito quito presenta una deficiente comercialización en la provincia de Oxapampa, por lo que los productores se enfocan más en la productividad agrícola sin tener en cuenta el mercado para su producto. Así también, se indica que los mercados involucrados, la perecibilidad del producto y el procesamiento agroindustrial en la provincia de Oxapampa son restringidos. En lo que respecta a los resultados obtenidos, se tiene que la comercialización de quito quito en la provincia de Oxapampa es ineficiente, ya que actualmente las características, las funciones, la eficiencia, los canales y los márgenes son restringidos debido a que la producción y comercialización del quito quito recientemente está en crecimiento. Cabe resaltar que entre los principales hallazgos, tras el trabajo de campo, se tiene que actualmente existen 41 productores de quito quito en Oxapampa con volúmenes de producción pequeños, destinando el fruto a la venta al mercado local de Oxapampa.Tesis

Full textAbstract:
The study was done to investigate the state of situational variables and how these variables affect work attitudes and subsequently intentions to quit in a manufacturing company in Gauteng Province. The study was carried out under normal business operating conditions without reinforcing any of the research variables within the period of the study. A stratified random sampling approach was used to carry out the study using a structured questionnaire developed from predictors used by other researchers. The questionnaire, based on a five-point Likert scale with situational variables such as learning and development, recognition, respect, appreciation, benefits and perks, salary, promotion, organisational support, perceived opportunity for rewards, fair leadership, organisational culture, working conditions, communication, trust and relationships and job security and work related attitudes such as organisational commitment, organisational citizenship, job satisfaction, job involvement, employee engagement and intentions to quit the organisation, was designed to capture the state of affairs within the organisation based on the employees’ percep tions of their experiences of these variables. Data was analysed using statistical analysis tools namely correlation and regression analysis. 200 questionnaires were issued and 111 were returned of which 103 were useable. The research data showed a moderate state of unhappiness with eight of the ten situational variables scoring below the midpoint signalling a need for the organisation to reinforce these variables. Work related attitudes were moderate and almost all scoring around the midpoint but intention to quit yielded a lower score. Correlations analysis showed statistically significant and strong positive relationships between situational work variables. Correlations also showed statistically significant medium to strong positive relationships between situational variables with work related attitudes. There was a statistically significant medium to strong negative relationship between intentions to quit and work related attitudes showing that as work attitudes improve intentions to quit decrease. The regression analyses showed that key situational work-related variables did predict work related attitudes and outcomes with perceived organisational support proving to be the most important predictor for all work related attitudes and outcomes; fair leadership were only a significant predictor for organisational citizenship behaviour and work engagement, while job security were only a significant predictor of job satisfaction, work engagement and intentions to quit. Organisational climate was also a significant predictor of organisational commitment, organisational citizenship and work engagement. Recommendations are provided for the organisation and for future research.Thesis (MBA)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

En la presente investigación se planteó como objetivo general: determinar las actitudes ante la castidad en estudiantes de 5to grado de educación Secundaria I.E Andrés Avelino Cáceres Chincha Ica 2018. Para ello se aplicó un cuestionario de 32 ítems con escala de medición tipo Likert. El Enfoque utilizado fue el cuantitativo de carácter no experimental cuyo diseño de la investigación es el transeccional descriptivo donde los resultados fueron que 48 estudiantes equivalentes al 16% del total muestran actitudes de rechazo; a su vez 77 estudiantes que equivalen al 26% precisan actitudes de indiferencia y 175 estudiantes que equivalen al 58 % del total señalan actitudes de aceptación ante la virtud de la castidad. Por lo que se ha observado que existe una homogeneidad en cuanto a los resultados que se obtuvieron, prevaleció en primer lugar en todas las tablas y gráficos la aceptación a la virtud de la castidad; del mismo modo se evidenció que ocupa un segundo lugar las actitudes de indiferencia ante la virtud de la castidad y en último lugar se encuentran las actitudes de rechazo ante la virtud de la castidad. Los adolescentes aún tienen aspiraciones nobles con respecto a la sexualidad y por ende manifiestan que la pureza todavía constituye un valor primordial en nuestra localidad pero que es necesario fortalecer la formación en la virtud de la castidad con talleres dirigido no sólo a los adolescentes sino también a los padres de familia.

Amongst the resources being sought after is human capital, employees have become one of the major resources that an organisation would want to retain. The turnover of employees to other organisations results in decreased production and a spike in the costs, through continuous, recruitment and training.

Johannesburg 2016Background The implementation of smoking regulations in South Africa has led to reductions in smoking prevalence in the general population. However, the industrial work place is a physically demanding and manual-labour-intensive work environment, and may promote continued smoking as part of coping mechanisms for workers. Outcomes of quit-attempts in the industrial setting may therefore be different from those obtainable in the general population. The current study determined the outcomes of quit-attempts among ever-smokers in a multi-national industrial steel company and compared successful quitters with those who continue to smoke, in order to determine factors significantly associated with successful quit-outcome. Methods In a cross sectional comparative study, a structured questionnaire developed de novo, was administered on 230 consecutively sampled ever-smokers. This questionnaire collected information on participants’ socio-demography, smoking patterns, motivations and treatments used during quit-attempts and outcome of quit attempts. Data was analyzed using Epi-Info. Analysis included descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test, analysis of variance and logistic regression. Main outcome measures included: the proportions of participants who had ever made a quit-attempt, the proportions who have been successful (abstinent in the past 6 months) or not (continues smoking) in their quit-attempts, and the factors that are significantly associated with being successful. Results A total of 230 participants completed the questionnaire. Of these, most participants were: White (71.3%), men (82.2%), had grade 12 or more education (81.3%), married / co-habiting (70.9%), permanently employed (65.2%) and field-based or manual labourers (73.9%). Participants’ mean age was 37 years and they smoked an average of 19.8 cigarettes per day. All participants had made at least a quit-attempt of which only 52 (22.6%) reported being successful. On group comparison, participants who reported being successful at quit attempts were significantly more likely to be older (43.5 Vs 35.8 years; p = 0.00), married (p = 0.01), permanently employed (p = 0.02), have had grade 12 education or more (p=0.01), smoke their first cigarette of the day after 30 minutes of being awake (p = 0.00) and made a quit-attempt for reasons other than concerns for their family and friends (p = 0.00). On logistic regression, reporting receipt of social support from family or friends (OR = 9.0; CI: 2.0-40.0; p = 0.01), the use of varenicline (OR = 4.0; CI: 2.0-9.0; p = 0.00) were significantly associated with success at quit attempt. However, patch use was found to significantly reduce the odds of successful quit-attempts (OR=0.2; 95% CI: 0.1-0.7; p=0.01), contrary to the literature that nicotine patch use increases the chances of quitting even when used in isolation. Conclusion The vast majority of smokers in this industrial workplace make attempts to quit smoking. However less than a quarter reported being successful. The receipt of social support from families and friends, and the use of tobacco treatment aids such as varenicline and NRTs appear crucial in assisting smokers to successfully quit in this industrial setting.

AbstractBenefit corporations are quite new in Canada, having been brought into force only on 30 June 2020 in the province of British Columbia. B Corps, however, are present and gaining ground across most provinces and territories. Benefit corporations under the new legislation are deemed to meet certification as B Corps. Other similar stakeholder interest companies are considered, such as community interest/contribution companies, social enterprises and co-operatives. Reference is made as well to Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence, which already lays the ground for a broader consideration of stakeholder interests and benefits under corporate law in Canada. Finally, diverse opinions on introducing benefit corporation legislation are presented.

AbstractThe different types of local government (metropolitan cities, provinces, municipalities), are caught between national and regional legislation in a situation in which the national legislature has the upper hand, with the exception in a few special regions in Italy’s system of asymmetrical regionalism. Although the system of local government was and still is quite symmetrical on the whole, in practice it is less than fully symmetrical with regard both to the performance of local governments and to their role in intergovernmental relations. Local governments are in search of role-clarity amidst a background of a unstable politics and several seasons of unfinished (federal) reforms. Meanwhile, intergovernmental relations are complicated by structural challenges, by a range of socio-demographic trends such as urbanisation and the hyper-fragmentation of local governments, and by the challenges arising from the financial crisis of 2008 and later from the Covid-19 pandemic.

AbstractIn PISA 2015, students from four China mainland cities/provinces performed worse in collaborative problem solving (CPS) than in other subjects. While student collaboration has been widely implemented in Chinese classrooms since 2001, empirical research on the role and intervention of teachers is still quite scarce. Influenced by international and national tests, open-ended tasks have been widely developed and used during mathematics lessons, which are seen as more suitable for CPS. In this paper, we investigated the effect of teacher intervention during pair and group CPS by experimenting with four teachers in eight classes, then selected a few typical cases and analysed their effect on task performance regarding intervention focus and means. Three of the four teachers’ interventions proved effective. The most and least effective teachers were selected for the case study. We discussed the effect of teacher intervention in terms of intervention styles and control. Because teachers in Chinese/Western classrooms differ in authority, we discussed intervention styles and offered suggestions for choosing and carefully implementing appropriate forms of group collaboration.

Se intentará explicar a continuación por qué en este turbulento periodo, en la provincia de Pasto el grueso de la población, <<nobles» y plebeyos, criollos, indios y mestizos, lucharon hombro a hombro contra los sucesivos intentos insurgentes por imponer opciones de gobierno distintas a la Monarquía fernandina, defendida a capa y espada, y por más de 20 años, por los obstinados habitantes de la provincia de Pasto, cuyo áspero, fértil y aislado territorio se encontraba situado en la difusa frontera entre la Gobernación de Popayán y la Presidencia de Quito. En su distrito albergaba 67 pueblos de indios, y desde el temprano agotamiento de sus minas de oro su economía se reducía a una modesta producción agrícola, ganadera y artesanal. A fines del siglo XVIII la provincia estaba poblada por unos 30 000 habitantes, de los cuales más de la mitad eran considerados «indios» -es decir, tributarios-, un poco menos del 40 % eran considerados «blancos», y apenas el 10 % eran registrados como mestizos o «libres». Un exiguo 0,37 % eran identificados como esclavos. La población pastusa, pues, estaba homogéneamente polarizada entre «indios» y «blancos»s. Fueron estos los que enfrentaron con admirable empeño a los ejércitos y los gobiernos republicanos de Quito, Santafé, Cali y Popayán entre 1809 y 1824.

Abstract When the commander L. Calpurnius Piso (cos. 58) returned from Macedonia to Rome in 55, Cicero tried to convince the Senate that Piso’s failure to ask for a triumph was suspicious in itself. “There were some (aliquot) with praetorian imperium, but no one with consular imperium who returned unharmed (incolumis) from this province, who did not triumph.”1 Here we can check for accuracy. The provincial fasti for Macedonia in the period 122-81 are quite full, and then down to the year 50 almost wholly complete. If we take incolumis both literally (“safe and sound”) and metaphorically (“unimpaired by prosecution”),2 Cicero cannot be shown wrong on the consular commanders. For the praetors, however, he badly distorts the picture. After Q. Caecilius Metellus “Macedonicus” in 146, T. Didius is the only praetor known to have triumphed from the provincia (probably in the year 100). Even imperatorial acclamations are rarely attested for praetorian commanders in Macedonia. In short, the record suggests that praetors might have long commands in the province, yet when possible the Senate had men of consular rank take on severe fighting. That tendency grows particularly marked in the decades after Sulla.

Some of the largest oil and gas projects in Canada are currently being proposed in British Columbia. Establishing a fulsome and scientifically and socially defensible scope for environmental assessments in the oil and gas sector is a serious challenge for government and proponents. The approach taken by the federal National Energy Board to scope effects assessments on pipelines is quite different than the approach taken by the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office on other types of oil and gas projects. The NEB has published guidelines for scoping and conducting environmental and socio-economic assessments within its Filing Manual (National Energy Board [NEB] 2014). This manual sets out the expectations for scoping, baseline information, and effects assessments to be submitted as part of approval applications. Proponents are expected to provide all information necessary to meet the guidelines. In British Columbia, the environmental assessment process is dictated by the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act and includes a negotiated terms of reference for the assessment, called the Application Information Requirements (AIR). The approach to selection of valued components is guided by provincial guidelines (EAO, 2013). The first draft of the AIR is prepared by the proponent and is then amended to address matters raised by federal and provincial agencies, local governments, and representatives of potentially affected First Nations. Through two to three revisions, the scope of assessment is jointly established and then formally issued by the government. While there are valid reasons for the differing federal and provincial approaches to scoping environmental assessments, each of these processes create risks for proponents in terms of project timelines and costs for preparing the environmental assessment. More specifically, the use of generic and negotiated guidelines can result in a number of issues including: • A scope of assessment that is broader than necessary to understand the potential for significant adverse effects • Inclusion of issues that are “near and dear” to a specific regulator or community but has no direct relationship to the effects of the project itself • Selection of valued components that do not allow for defensible quantification of effects or use of directly relevant significance thresholds • Selection of valued components that are only of indirect concern as opposed to focusing the assessment on the true concern. • Double counting of environmental effects • Risks in assessing cumulative effects This paper discusses where and how these risks occur, and provides examples from recent and current environmental assessments for pipelines and facilities in British Columbia. Opportunities to manage the scope of assessment while providing a fulsome, efficient, effective and scientifically/socially defensible assessment are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract High H2S issue was investigated in Field B shortly after production, with quite a variation on the measured H2S readings. The initial opinion was it might be related to the measuring methodology, as no evidence to suggest that the H2S level would increase over time from the reservoir point of view. To verify this, a full sampling program was conducted, consisting of onsite sampling and laboratory analysis. This includes stain tubes measurement, online gas chromatograph, H2S analyzer and UOP method. The H2S isotope analysis was also conducted to determine the H2S source and its future behavior in the reservoir. This paper serves as lesson learnt and best practices in H2S management from subsurface to facilities unified approach, highlighting the importance of proper data acquisition, with focus on contaminants. Indeed, H2S is a contaminant found widely in oil and gas industry and can be a limiting factor to development or hinder production if it is not appropriately characterized during exploration, appraisal and early stage of production.

The agricultural land around Shanghai is famous for its huge population and intensive cultivation. With the expansion of the metropolis, a large number of agricultural people have entered the city to work, and rural land has been abandoned1,2. In 2009, Kunshan City implemented a land transfer system, and 99% of the cultivated land was packaged for large scale farmers, and initially realized large‐scale operation3 . However, the large‐scale business model has gradually experienced problems such as predatory management, ecological destruction, and no sense of social responsibility. Through the establishment of agricultural land share cooperatives, Changyun Village took the lead in realizing the collective management of agricultural land, taking shares in the land, giving priority to paying dividends to the land, and paying wages to the farmers working in the cooperative. The peasants' enthusiasm for entering the city has become an important buffer for the migrants to work in Shanghai and surrounding village.It has increased the employment rate. At the same time, it has supplied green agricultural products to the city, passed on agricultural technology, and activated local communities. This article intends to analyse the correlation between several village share cooperative models based on Changyun Village and the large family farm contracting model of more than ten villages, and the satisfaction of villagers, combined with property rights theory, scale economy theory, and accounting cooperatives. Cost‐benefit, evaluate the effect of “long cloud-style” collectivization on revitalizing the surrounding villages of metropolises and assess the satisfaction of governments at all levels. Through field interviews and questionnaire surveys, the correlation analysis of village cadres and villagers' satisfaction was conducted. The government is optimistic about the role of the "long cloud model" in grassroots management and improvement of people's livelihood. Even if public finances are required to invest a large amount of money, it is necessary to strengthen the medical and social security of the villagers. The government is also quite satisfied with the Changyun model. At present, the economic benefits of the stock cooperatives have steadily increased. Although the growth rate is not large, the villagers have a strong sense of well‐being, and the village's ecological environment has been improved. In the future, the cost of the village will be reduced after the large scale operation, and the overall economic benefits will be improved. The future research direction will be how to solve the specific problems that plague the cooperative's production and operation, such as low rice prices and lack of high value added finishing facilities to continue to activate the surrounding areas of the metropolis and improve the satisfaction of the government and villagers.

Due to the moist and humid climate weather in Thailand, it is longer than six months of rainy season each year. Thailand is thus one of the many other countries in the world that has medium insolation, the average per year at 500 W/m2. Furthermore, the whole country sit on a very soft-land flat plateau. Since the Siam Solar Dish prototype was setup and tested at Naraesuan University in Pitsanulok Province and at AREF in Bangkok, Thailand, it became apparent that the design of her support structure together with her concrete foundation also represents a complicate part of these research activities. In Thailand, a parabolic dish structure is under development for various applications in between the 300–600 °C temperature range in solar fields up to several kilowatts range. The detail in this paper is one part of the solar thermal dish Stirling for a 10 kW power plant with lead acid battery storage in Thailand, namely the “Siam Solar Dish I” research project. This paper is the only one part of the main of this research project about Siam Solar Dish System effort in Thailand. That will explain the dish structure’s design structure and its foundation, which is suitable for Thailand’s soft land environmental nature. Parabolic dish systems normally feature different structural types in terms of their performance and durability. In order to implement a successful parabolic dish system, it thus became obvious by this nature that the design of each dish structure is quite important and vital to conduct a particular design calculation to match and suit with its individual installation location. This particular part of the research project activities is to design the requirement lightweight support structure, along with the parabolic dish structural design work, and the concrete foundation suitable to the soft land country like Thailand. The design effort continue to consider additional relevance topics, like the economized cost, the structural durability, and easy to control, together with the low maintenance cost to trade off with the required light weight structure.

Abstract Low Quality Reservoir in WK Rokan is quite famous as a large volume of remaining recoverable resource, where TLS Formation owned the biggest share (~51%) of the total Low-Quality Reservoir potential additional reserves. This formation develop widely in Central Sumatra Basin with range ~600 ft TVDSS depth and the deepest productive reservoir in ~4000 ft TVDSS. The 600ft TVDSS TLS Reservoir is identified as the most challenging Low-Quality Reservoir in term of its subsurface and operation since this formation has been producing for decades. This Reservoir located in BLSO field in Riau Province, Central Sumatra, Indonesia approximately 140 km Northwest of Pekanbaru or 50 km northwest of the DRI field. The field is a large elongated anticlinal structure bounded on the southwest by a major high-angle reverse fault. The shallowest productive TLS in WK Rokan has a minimum recovery factor with a low reservoir quality which has permeability range of 20-300 MD due to the thin overburden barrier (shallow structure), reservoir complexity (low reservoir permeability, low sand connectivity) that led to limitation of completion strategy resulted in low oil recovery. It is found in 1972, and commercially produced as an oil-producing well with a reservoir depth of 800 - 1000 ft TVD with current recovery factor only 8%. The drive mechanism in this reservoir is shown as a weak water drive reservoir. The old-fashioned development strategy from this shallow low-quality reservoir is by having hydraulic fracturing with cased hole completion which will be driven a high-cost development scenario if we want to increase oil recovery in this reservoir. The alternate solution in developing this shallow reservoir is by optimizing productive section interface, and Open Hole Screen Liner is coming out as solution with lower investment to add more recovery with average production 49 BOPD and low average water cut (51%). This paper will talk about in how we develop well candidacy to apply open hole screen liner completion method, the result and future development plan to improve oil recovery in shallowest low quality reservoir in WK Rokan.

There are differences in the ways and attitudes of recycling waste paper between schools in urban and rural areas at different levels of development in China. The purpose of this study was to discover the role of interactive mechanisms of waste paper recycling on students' behaviors and attitudes toward waste paper in the campus recycling process. To complete this study, urban school classes and rural school classes in the same city, which have different waste management and recycling systems. Compare before and after recycling processing systems that incorporate interactive mechanisms. Data were obtained from interviews with students, questionnaires, and focus groups. Students in 10 urban schools and 10 rural schools in the same urban area of Guangdong Province, China, were surveyed online using Questionnaire Star, and the data were examined using SPSS statistical software. In the whole system, town schools are used as the main scenario, where teachers and students put waste paper into the converters and get the corresponding items. Due to the large amount of waste paper in town schools, there will be a surplus of items being converted out. Excess items will be transported to rural areas by transport vehicles from the recycling processing plant. The goods will be delivered to children in rural schools, reducing spending on educational items, while the transporters will take away and dispose of waste paper from rural areas. The focus groups discussed attitudes toward the improved waste paper management system, and most participants felt it was beneficial and significantly improved attitudes toward waste paper. After the improvement, the participants will intentionally collect the waste paper and put it into the replacement box. In addition, some participants also mentioned the sense of accomplishment that comes from turning the collected waste paper into usable items. Convenience and a sense of responsibility to protect the environment and the self-satisfaction of helping rural students are also motivations and potentials for improving waste paper management behavior. Participants were quite satisfied with the improved system of waste paper management. Not only is it sustainable, but it also takes into account the fact that it helps schools and school children in rural areas. Greater satisfaction can be obtained from it. This study provides a good starting point for future research on student attitudes toward recycling in both types of schools. A framework is provided for further research on factors influencing positive behaviors and attitudes based on this study.

It is a city especially commercial and agricultural whose urban morphology responds to historical, environmental and administrative circumstances, that is how, since 1851, the date on which the “cantonization” takes place begins the formation of the capital city with an urban structure formed in checkerboard that welcomes the traditional nucleus of the typical city of the ecuatorian highlands. With the development of this city, isolated neighborhoods are born out of the original urban fabric that expand in the territory, following the main road connections, eventually to fill the internal space with a morphology of contrasts, as each neighborhood or new occupations are structured individually without thinking of a city of integral formation. The longitudinal growth of the city was marked from its beginning by the river Bobo to the north-west and the river Tajamar to the south-east that keep the city within natural limits, which also provide certain environmental and landscape benefits, however in the the last few decades the city has had a significant growth that threatens an unattended and constantly expanding periphery to these environmental resources. We are facing a heterogeneous city, with problems and possibilities and attending to the idea that the city is an unfinished work, integral and sustainable urban regeneration is the basis for a reordering and a new urban approach. It is therefore proposed to study three strategic lines: the existing city, its internal circuits of connection and the adjacent nature. Establishing initial uses in the city, to occupy the predominant urban void and thus to activate the pubic space. Restructure mobility, which will strengthen the use of new peripheral road infrastructures to reduce motorized circuits in the interior, thus promoting the use of bicycles and the creation of pedestrian routes. Finally, environmental resources will again have the value of landscape and ecological wealth producing around the city a green infrastructure that contains growth and is the link of this with the countryside.

Abstract In this paper, energy conservation approaches for residential buildings in rural area of southeast China are studied. There used to be no heating habits in rural buildings of southeast China, which is due to the relatively warm weather in winter. However, as the stand of living is increasing, heating in winter has become more popular in recent years. It is quite important to choose proper heating conservation materials taking both initial cost and operating cost into consideration. In this paper, a typical house in southern part of Henan Province is selected for study. It is a two-level house made of bricks, which was built in 2014. A set of radiators were installed for heating in winter. Water, which is heated by electrical heater, is used as heating medium for these radiators. As compared with heat pumps, draft sensation problem is avoided and temperature in the heating space is more uniform. However, operating fee is very high, which makes this heating method less attractive. To reduce power consumption of winter heating, heating load needs to be reduced and the efficiency of heating equipment needs to be increased. In this study, researches are carried out as following. First, a model is built in DeST, which is a software that can calculate hourly heating load and room temperature. Then, the effect of thermal preservation quality of envelops on room temperature and heating load are investigated. Six models with different envelopes are simulated. Then, heating load as well as power consumptions of electrical heaters and heat pumps among the six envelopes are compared. Lastly, economic analysis is carried out for the energy efficient retrofit case so that the payback period is calculated. The results show that heating load capacity of case F, envelope of which made of 240 bricks plus foamed plastic and hollow glass windows, can be reduced to 1/3 that of case A, envelope of which made of 240 bricks and single glass windows. Considering power consumptions of both compressors and fans, energy consumption density (divided by area) can be reduced from 21.6∼25 kWh·m−2·year−1 of case A, which has the worst heat conservation property, to 6.7∼7.7 kWh·m−2·year−1 of case F. If the building is improved from case A to case F and heat pumps are adopted, the payback period is 3.3∼3.8 years. Because of high cost of window retrofit and small influence of its heat conservation property on the reduction of heating capacity, it is recommended to just improve walls. Air tightness of window is more effective than thermal quality.

Исследование материальной и духовной культуры скифов, а также вы яснение времени и характера взаимоотношений кочевников с другими народами про водятся по данным археологических и письменных источников. Даты археологических памятников определяются по входящим в состав сопроводительного инвентаря ве щам – хронологическим маркерам, среди которых имеются зеркала. В Северном Причерноморье и на Северном Кавказе для эпохи бронзы не выявле ны ни «импортные» зеркала, ни очаги местного производства этих предметов. «Скифские» и греческие зеркала в культуре местного населения были инновацией, связанной с приходом скифов из восточных районов Евразии и греческой колонизацией северопричерноморской территории. Отсутствие у кочевников навыков изготовления «скифских» зеркал стало причиной угасания к 5 в. до н. э. традиции использования этих изделий. Кон такты скифов с населением лесостепной зоны Северопонтийского региона и греческих колоний нашли отражение в изменении конструкции зеркал. В статье рассматриваются спорные вопросы по поводу происхождения зеркала из кургана № 447 у с. Журовка (Журавка), которое связывают либо со скифами, либо с греками. Оно найдено в кургане, раскопанном А. А. Бобринским у с. Журовка (Черкасская область, Шполянский район, Украина) на территории Правобережной Лесостепи, в бассейне р. Тясмин. Памятник по комплексу сопроводительного инвентаря в могиле датирован второй половиной 6 в. до н. э. Зеркало из кургана № 447 у с. Журовка относится к группе зеркал с комбинированными ручками, которые изготовлены из железа и бронзы. Верх и конец ручки пред ставлены бронзовыми насадками. Верх – насадка с изображением фигурки лежащего оленя, конец – фигурка лежащего животного. Ствол прямой, без орнамента, изготовлен из железа. Диск зеркала круглый, плоский. Способ крепления диска и ручки – заклепки. Сложносоставные зеркала с комбинированными ручками появляются в лесостепной зоне Северного Причерноморья во второй трети 6 в. до н. э. Все они близки греческим образцам, на что указывает наличие круглого плоского диска без бортика и трехчастное деление ручки, которое определяется исследователями как греческое изобретение для зеркал с боковыми ручками. Верх ручки зеркала из кургана № 447 у с. Журовка украшен хорошо выполненным реалистичным изображением оленя, отдельные детали которого (ноги, ухо, копыта) были доработаны гравировкой. На конце ручки изображена фигурка животного с повернутой назад головой и открытой пастью. Последнее предполагает видеть в изображении черты хищника, но моделировка ног этой же фигурки свидетельствует о том, что первоначально она имела вид копытного животного. Пока сложно определить причины, заставившие мастера таким образом передать изображение на конце ручки зеркала, так как нельзя объяснить это неумелой работой, поскольку наряду с неприглядной фи гуркой хищника на конце ручки, верх ее украшен хорошо исполненным изображением оленя. Нет основания говорить и о браке, связанным с фигуркой хищника, так как бракованную деталь можно было бы заменить новой. Трудно сказать, является ли это зеркало репликой на античный образец, изготовленной мастером из среды лесостепного населения, или рассматриваемый экземпляр представляет собой результат замены утраченной (если греческой, то скорее всего костяной) ручки на железную с использованием уже имевшихся бронзовых частей зеркала (диск, фигурки). Тем не менее создание зеркала, происходящего из скифского лесостепного кургана (№ 447 у с. Журовка), безусловно является результатом взаимодействия греков, местного населения и скифов. Новые находки (Белгородская область, Краснодарский край) и дальнейшие исследования подтверждают предположение о влиянии античной традиции на его генезис. Удалось выявить очень близкое изображение и возможный прототип для фигурки на конце ручки зеркала из кургана № 447 у с. Журовка, которое связывает этот экземпляр с деятельно стью греческих мастеров. The investigations of material and spiritual culture of the Scythians and the estimation of time and character of their relations with other nations are basing upon archaeological and written sources. The dates of archaeological objects are established by the contents of grave-goods, among them mirrors being reliable chronological markers. In the North Black Sea area and the North Caucasus of the Bronze Age there are neither ‘imported’ mirrors, nor locally produced ones. The ‘Scythian’ and Greek mirrors in local cultures became an innovation connected with the arrival of the Scythians from East Eurasia and the Greek colonization of the North Black Sea territories. The absence of any nomadic traditions of producing ‘Scythian’ mirrors caused the extinction of the practice of their use. Scythian contacts with the inhabitants of the North Pontic forest zone and of the Greek colonies brought forth modi fications in the construction of mirrors. The article considers problematic questions concerning the origin of the mirror from barrow 447 by Zhurovka (Zhuravka), attributed either to the Scythians or to the Greeks. It was discovered in a barrow excavated by A. A. Bobrinsky by the settlement of Zhurovka (Cherkasskaya province, Shpolyanski region, Ukraine), the right-bank forest-steppe area by the Tyasmin river. The set of grave-goods from the barrow dates it to the second half of the 6th century BC. The mirror from barrow 447 by Zhurovka belongs to the group of mirrors with composite handles made of iron and bronze. The upper part and the lower end of the handle are decorated with bronze settings – reposing stag by the top and some other animal at the end. The handle is straight, not decorated, made of iron. The disk of the mirror is round and flat. It is fastened to the handle with rivets. Composite mirrors with combined handles appear in the forest-steppe zone of the North Black Sea area in the second third of the 6th century BC. They are all close to Greek prototypes, which is testified by rimless flat disks and triple division of handles, which scholars define as a Greek invention foe mirrors with side handles. The upper part of the handle from barrow 447 by Zhurovka is decorated with a realistic image of a stag, its parts (legs, ear, hooves) covered with engraved patterns. The handle terminates in a figure of an animal, its head with open muzzle turned backwards. The last feature suggests that it was some beast of prey, though its legs show that initially it was some hoofed animal. It is hard to understand the reason for rendering the animal image in such a way as well as to explain it by the incompetence of the craftsman – the stag decorating the upper end is quite recognizable. It is difficult to say, if the mirror is a replica of some antique object produced by a craftsman from the forest-steppe area, or a result of a restoration of the missing part of a Greek mirror (the missing Greek bone handle replaced by local iron one). Nevertheless, the mirror from the Scythian barrow 447 by Zhurovka is the result of interaction among Greeks, Scythians and local forest-steppe population. New finds (Belgorod and Krasnodar regions) and further investigations confirm the influence of ancient Greek traditions on its genesis. There is a very close parallel (and possibly a prototype) to the figurine decorating the handle from barrow 447 by Zhurovka, connecting it with the activities of Greek craftsmen.

Full textAbstract:
Permafrost conditions in the Slave Geological province are not well understood. Thaw of permafrost and associated ground ice can reduce ground stability, which modifies terrain and drainage patterns and affects terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This presents critical challenges to northern resource development and societies where thaw of ice-rich permafrost negatively affects the integrity of ground-based infrastructure. In an effort to address this knowledge gap, this report presents a digital georeferenced database of landforms identified in permafrost terrain using high-resolution satellite imagery and provides information on geomorphic indicators of ground ice presence and thaw susceptibility. Digital georeferenced databases compiled from sedimentological and cryostratigraphic records are also provided. The landform database is focused on mapping within a 10 km-wide swath of land (8576 km2 area of interest) centred on the proposed corridors for the 773 km-long Slave Geological Province Corridor Project, NT, and the Grays Bay Road and Port Project, NU. The geomorphic features were classified and digitized using high-resolution (0.5 m) satellite imagery following an existing protocol, which was modified by using a very high-resolution (2 m) digital elevation model (DEM), and by including mapping criteria for additional features. A total of 1393 geomorphic features were mapped comprising 10 different types, which were categorized into 3 classes that include periglacial (1291), hydrological (88), and mass movement (14) features. Data from 254 geotechnical boreholes and 2243 granular deposits were compiled. Information from the compiled databases was analyzed with surficial geology information. Results indicate that the distributions and densities of mapped landforms varied substantially according to surficial geology. High ground ice contents may be quite common in glaciofluvial deposits where creep of frozen ground affects about 30% of eskers. And ground ice may be more extensive overall than the available geotechnical data indicate. Borehole and granular deposit data suggest that overburden thickness above bedrock was up to 25.5 m, and visible ground ice contents were generally between 10% and 30%, but were up to 60% in glacial blanket and glaciofluvial sediments.
