The Use of the Leopold Matrix in Carrying Out the EIA for Wind Farms in Serbia

Although the Energy Sector Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia until 2015 envisages an increasing share of renewable energy (RE) in the total energy balance of the country and although there are plenty of wind energy initiatives resulting in the elaboration of planning and project documentation, no wind farms have yet been built in Serbia. One of the significant problems in the realization of these projects is the unjustifiable resistance of a part of local authorities and population, particularly related to the possible environmental impacts of the planned projects. In this context, the paper addresses the possibility of using the Leopold matrix in carrying out the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for “Kladovo” Wind Farm in Serbia (case study). The Leopold matrix is a framework method for assessing the environmental impact of a project. The novelty in this method, presented herein, refers to the evaluation of planned project activities relative to a group of criteria related to: significance (spatial dispersion), probability and duration of impact. The obtained EIA results have enabled the precise identification of possible environmental impacts of “Kladovo” Wind Farm project, as well as removal of dilemmas and problems related to the public resistance to the realization of the project through a transparent relationship with stakeholders.

Background: Congenital clubfoot is a common deformity characterized by an abnormal development of the foot. The etiology is multifactorial and genetic causes have been related. The Ponseti method is a conservative treatment for the clubfoot, mostly used in idiopathic cases. This method involves serial plaster cast changes, tenotomy of the Achilles tendon and use of braces to prevent relapses. This study was designed to identify the characteristics of the patients diagnosed with congenital clubfoot who were treated with the Ponseti method and the main outcomes of this treatment in children under five years. Method: A retrospective study was conducted in Fundación Ruth Paz in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, since June 1st 2015 to May 31th 2017. This study included patients under five years who were diagnosed with congenital clubfoot and treated with Ponseti method. The data were collected from the clinical files of the identified cases. Results: Congenital clubfoot was more common among males (66.3%) and the localization of the deformity was more commonly bilateral (51.8%). The cases of idiopathic clubfoot represent 91.6% of all the cases. The tenotomy of the Achilles tendon was performed in 51.8% of the patients. Complete treatment was identified in 90.4% of the cases and relapses were reported in 12% of the children who completed treatment. Conclusions: Ponseti method was effective for treat children under five years diagnosed with clubfoot (idiopathic and non-idiopathic) and a significant decrease of the Pirani scoring after treatment was identified in all the cases. A correct use of braces is necessary to
Rotation-free triangular plate and shell elements

SUMMARY The paper describes how the nite element method and the nite volume method can be successfully combined to derive two new families of thin plate and shell triangles with translational degrees of freedom as the only nodal variables. The simplest elements of the two families based on combining a linear interpolation of displacements with cell centred and cell vertex nite volume schemes are presented in detail. Examples of the good performance of the new rotation-free plate and shell triangles are given. Copyright ? 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Characterizing Mood Management as Need Satisfaction: The Effects of Intrinsic Needs on Selective Exposure and Mood Repair

This study attempted to (a) extend traditional mood management theory research by investigating the influence of the intrinsic needs for competence and autonomy on selective exposure to video games and (b) test the influence of satisfying these needs on resultant mood repair. An experiment varied satisfaction of competence and autonomy needs using false feedback. Subjects then selected media that varied in level of user demand. Measures of need satisfaction were taken before and after media selection. Results demonstrated that (a) thwarted intrinsic needs significantly predict the choice of video games with different levels of user demand and (b) the satisfaction of these needs predicts enjoyment. Findings indicate that mood management can result from mood repair through need satisfaction.
Children's nutritional status and its determinants in small towns, Sebeta Hawas district, Oromia, Ethiopia.

The study was aimed to assess the prevalence and examine determinant factors of children’s nutritional status in non-administrative two small towns (Awash Bello and Boneya) located Sebeta Hawas district, Oromia region. Cross-sectional design was employed in the existing two small towns selected randomly. The sample size was determined by using single population proportion formula then adjusted by finite population correction factor to draw the final 230 sample children and then allocated proportionally to each small town. Then the households were selected using systematic random sampling. If there is more than one child in the selected household only one child was considered randomly. Structured questionnaire was used to gather information on the demographic, socio-economic, and maternal and child caring practice, as well as environmental factors. While anthropometric measurement was used to collect height, weight and MUAC following the standard measurement tools and procedures. Information was entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 and anthropometric measurements were converted into Z-scores by WHO Anthro version 3.2. 2. , 2011 software. Then exported to STATA 13 and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The result revealed that the prevalence of overall malnutrition was 46%. Specifically, stunting was (22.6%), underweight (16.1%) and wasting (7.4%), respectively. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression model was employed to analyze determinants child malnutrition. Multivariate model revealed that age of child, number of under-five children in the household, no formal fathers and no formal maternal education, less than1500ETB monthly income, Antenatal care visit less than four times during pregnancy, not exclusive breast feeding and no fully vaccination were found positive and significant determinants for child malnutrition. And, child birth order was negative and significant determinant for child malnutrition. Thus, need continues training, awareness creation activities, special attention for child and maternal healthcare services by Sebeta Hawas district Health Office and other practitioners.
Epistemological positions in design research: a brief review of the literature

Design research is not simply concerned with speculations regarding the relationship of theory and practice. Design research also brings out significant questions regarding the nature of research and the position occupied by the doctorate in university education. This paper reviews the major epistemological positions informing theories of design research. Analyses of examples from subjectivist, constructivist and objectivist epistemologies are presented. The paper concludes by considering the pedagogical implications of the role of disciplinarity in discourses of design research. The paper does not aim to seek statistical generalization but rather to explore the complexity of the issue.
Unstructured Bargaining Over an Endogenously Produced Surplus and Fairness Ideals – An Experiment

Fairness considerations are important determinants of behavior in unstructured bargaining situations with equal bargaining power. If the surplus over which the bargaining takes place was created by separate, individual efforts, several entitlement-related fairness ideals might be relevant. In our experiment we first elicit subjects' fairness ideals using a questionnaire. In the following production phase each player generates output by luck, individual effort and talent. We analyze whether the elicited fairness ideals guide subjects' behavior in the subsequent bargaining in which the joint output is distributed among to individuals. We find that bargaining claims deviate significantly from the elicited fairness ideals and are strongly related to performance if one individual had produced more than the partner. These findings contrast the previous literature on fairness ideals, but enrich the findings on self-serving fairness.
PRODUCTION AND QUALITY CONTROL OF 66GA AS A PET RADIOISOTOPE

he three radioisotopes 66Ga, 67Ga and 68Ga are well known and widely used in the field of nuclear medicine. 66Ga3+ and 68Ga3+ have been proposed for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging studies (Loe'h et al. 1980, Goethals et al. 1991, Jurisson et al. 1993, Daube-whitherspoon et al. 1997, Kowalski et al. 2003, Froidevaux et al. 2004, Velikyan et al. 2004, Griffiths et al. 2004, Rovainen et al. 2004). 66Ga has been proposed for the study of some slow dynamic processes (such as lymphatic transport) by positron emission tomography (Goethals et al. 1987, 1988, Lewis et al. 2002), and for radioimmunotherapy by it's attachment to monoclonal antibodies (Zweit et al. 1987) in the detection and staging ABSTRACT
The Effect of using Cross-Linking Agent with Nano-Adhesive on the Bonding to Sound and Caries Affected Dentin

Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the microtensile bond strength and the effect of storage on using two different concentrations (6.5% and 15 %) of grape seed extract cross-linking agent with nano-adhesive single bond universal adhesive to sound and caries affected dentin. Methods: A total of sixty molars was divided into 2 main groups (30 each) according to the type of substrate either sound or caries affected dentin. Each group was divided into three equal subgroups (10 teeth each) according to the treatment with cross linking agent (Grape seed extract (GSE)), either with no treatment with GSE or 6.5% or 15% GSE dissolved in ethyl alcohol anhydrous. Each subgroup was further subdivided into 2 equal subgroups according to the storage period (5 teeth each) either after 24 hours or after 3 months. Resin composite core was built up and then specimens were sectioned to obtain composite-dentin slabs with a cross-sectional area of approximately 1mm2. They were subjected to microtensile bond strength testing at a cross head speed of 1.0mm/min. Statistical analysis was done using three way-ANOVA followed by post hoc test for comparison (P≤ 0.05). Results: The highest microtensile bond strength mean value was recorded for sound dentin and caries affected dentin, specimens treated with 6.5% grape seed extract after 24 hours and 3 months storage period, followed by specimens treated with 15% grape seed extract, while specimens without grape seed extract treatment showed the lowest significant microtensile bond strength mean value. Conclusions: using cross linking agent is considered a beneficial way in improving bonding to sound and caries affected dentin.6.5%concentration of grape seed extract as a cross linking agent is the concentration of choice to be used. Time has a deteriorating effect on the formed resin -dentin bond.
Weldability of CMT Joining of AA6061T6 to Boron Steels with Various Coatings

Boron-based hot-forming steels (Ref. 1) and aluminum alloys (Refs. 2– 3) have been widely applied for bodyin-white construction. Making use of these materials not only reduces vehicle weight, but it also improves crashworthiness and decreases gas emissions (Ref. 4). To prevent surface oxidation of boron steels during warm forming [i.e., 850°C during the forming followed by a cooling rate greater than 50°C/s (Ref. 5)], various coatings have been developed. While the coatings minimize the surface oxidation, their influence on the weldability of boron-based steel is a concern. Since both boron-based steel and aluminum alloy are being applied for structural applications, it is inevitable to encounter the need to join them together. The joining of aluminum to steel is a great challenge because of the large differences in thermo-physical properties between the two materials and especially the formation of brittle Al-Fe intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at elevated temperatures (Ref. 6). The formation of Fe-Al phases is necessary for achieving an effectual connection between aluminum and steel, but an excessive formation of Fe-Al IMC results in brittleness of the joints (Ref. 7). Thus, in order to suppress the large formation of Fe-Al IMC, solid-state welding methods, e.g., diffusion welding (Ref. 8), explosive welding (Ref. 9), friction welding (Refs. 10–12), and ultrasonic welding (Ref. 13) have been tried to join these dissimilar metals joints. Though the IMC could be hindered using these processes, high efficiency is still lacking, and the shape and size of such solid-state joints are restricted. Fusion welding processes are feasible to join dissimilar metals with high efficiency (Ref. 14). From the Al-Fe phase diagram (Ref. 15) shown in Fig. 1, Fe-Al IMC could be formed between Al and Fe during the welding process. However, the brittle Fe-Al IMC could be restricted by only melting the aluminum alloy because of the huge difference in melting points of Al (649°C) and iron (1539°C). Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW)-brazing (Ref. 16) and laser arc welding-brazing (Ref. 17) had been used to connect Al and steel successfully.

Performance of broiler chickens fed diets containing cassava leaf:blood meal mix as replacement for soybean meal

The trial reported herein investigated the performance of broiler chicken on diet containing cassava leaf meal (CLM)/blood meals (BM) mix in replacement for soybean meal (SBM). One hundred and fifty, two weeks-old broilers were randomly allotted to five experimental diets such that each dietary treatment was replicated six times with five birds per replicate. The experimental diets were formulated such that the diets contained 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% CLM/BM mix as replacement for SBM respectively. The diets were fed over a 6-week period. Birds fed 100% CLM/BM replacement for SBM had the highest (P<0.05) feed intake, lower weight gain and poorer feed conversion ratio than the control. Weight gain and FCR were significantly higher in birds fed 50% CLM/BM in replacement for SBM than the other CLM/BM based groups. The values for the dressed weight, thigh muscle and drumstick were higher (P<0.05) in birds fed 50% CLM/BM diets than in the other dietary groups. The breast weight and abdominal fat were not affected by the diets. The weights of the liver, kidney, heart and spleen were not affected by the treatments whereas those of the crop, gizzard, proventriculus and caecum increased (P<0.05) with increasing dietary inclusion of CLM/BM in the diet. In conclusion, it can be inferred based on the general observations recorded in this study that broiler diets containing cassava leaf meal: blood meal mixture in replacement for soybean meal promote comparable daily feed intake and feed to gain ratio as their soybean based control diet and had no deleterious effect on performance. The results obtained in this trial showed that birds on diet 3 (with dietary level of inclusion 50% SBM: 50%CLM: BM) elicited the best response in terms of weight gain, feed intake and feed: gain ratio. It is concluded that not more than 50% of dietary CLM/BM should be used as a replacement for soybean.
Value Proposition Canvas: Identification of Pains, Gains and Customer Jobs at Farmers' Markets

The goal of the research is to identify the factors of business model that form Value Proposition of farmers' market customers in the areas of (1) Products/Services, (2) Gain Creators and (3) Pain Relievers. The examined factor areas are based on the creation of a Value Proposition Canvas. Primary data were acquired through the method of questionnaire survey with 217 customers shopping at the farmer's market. The questionnaire was distributed in person. The most important Customer Jobs are identified as stocking up on fresh and healthy food and feeling good about the purchases; the most important Gain Creators are fresh and healthy food and the most important Pains are higher prices and inconvenient opening hours. Its results are five general recommendations for market sellers and organizers. It was also found that farmers' market customers made personal benefits a greater priority, much more than factors with a wider social scope.
Re-visiting the nutrition of dairy sheep grazing Mediterranean pastures

Abstract In the light of recent findings in sheep nutrition and behaviour, the diets of grazing dairy sheep should be based on forages encompassing a variety of complementary nutritional values and containing moderate levels of complementary plant secondary metabolites, until recently regarded as “anti-nutritional”. In lactating sheep, pastures of tannin-containing legumes like sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) and chicory (Cichorium intybus) can be integrated with annual grasses for establishing sustainable artificial pastures under rainfed conditions. Diets based on these forages, while ensuring high milking performance, can mitigate the unbalance of CP to energy ratio of grazing sheep. By grazing sulla and annual or Italian ryegrass (50:50 by area) as spatially conterminal monocultures or in timely sequence (complementary grazing) sheep eat more and perform better than by grazing the ryegrass pasture only. Concentrate supplementation of lactating sheep should be preferably based on fibrous sources (soyhulls or beet pulps), particularly from mid-lactation onwards and when supplementation levels are high. Milk urea concentration is confirmedly a useful monitoring tool to balance protein nutrition and curb the waste of N at animal and system level.
An assessment of phytotoxic potential of promising agroforestry trees on germination and growth pattern of traditional field crops of Sikkim Himalaya, India.

An experiment was undertaken to evaluate the phytotoxic potential of promising agroforestry trees on germination and growth pattern of traditional field crops of Sikkim Himalaya and the investigation revealed the considerable effect of three agroforestry tree species on germination and radical-plumule growth of all the test crops. Among the tested species, Ficus nemoralisa was found least effective with stimulatory to germination and radical-plumule growth in all the test crops except for Eleusine coracana. Macaranga pustulata significantly inhibited germination and radical-plumule growth of all the test crops except in Vigna mungo. Leaf extracts of Alnus nepalensis were found depressive for all the test crops except for Zea mays and least for Vigna mungo, while its bark extracts were less effective for all the test crops with respect to germination and radical-plumule growth. Zea mays was found most resistant, while Brassica nigra was most sensitive test crops. Results of present investigation have shown that these tree species have allelopathic potential and contain water-soluble substances, their effect might be dependent on their concentration in water. They have inhibitory effects at higher concentration but at low concentrations have stimulatory effects. These agriculture crops may be cultivated under Ficus nemoralisa without/or least harm. The importance indexes of agroforestry tree species are followed in order: Ficus nemoralisa > Macaranga pustulata > Alnus nepalensis and the order of agriculture field crops indexes are: Zea mays > Vigna mungo > Triticum aestivum > Pisum sativum > Brassica nigra > Elusin coracana.
Climatic control of dispersal–ecological specialization trade‐offs: a metacommunity process at the heart of the latitudinal diversity gradient?

We outline the potentially important role of dispersal in linking diversity patterns at different spatial and temporal scales, and the resulting potential to link hypotheses explaining macroscale patterns of diversity. We do this by proposing a possible mechanism linking climate to diversity patterns: we argue that climate, via effects of continuity of habitat availability in space and time, mediates a dispersal–ecological specialization trade-off at the metacommunity level that leads to latitudinal trends in dispersal ability, ecological specialization, range sizes, speciation and species richness, ultimately driving the latitudinal diversity gradient. This trade-off constitutes a possible mechanism for the strong macroscale correlation between climate and species richness that is consistent with recent ideas about niche conservatism and gradient lengths, as well as other leading hypotheses. We present an overview of predictions derived from our ideas. Of these, some have already been tested and supported and others are still open to debate or need testing. Together they provide a unique set of predictions that allows falsification.
DNA Fingerprinting, Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of the Essential Oil isolated from the Fruits of Serenoa repens W. Bartram

The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from the fruits of Serenoa repens W. Bartram by hydrodistillation has been studied by GC/MS analysis. The analysis of the essential oil revealed the presence of 60 identified compounds (monoterpene and sesquiterpene) oxygenated and non-oxygenated compounds in the oil sample including about 53 compounds which were not reported in GC/MS analysis of the essential oil before. GC/MS analysis revealed 4-(1-methylethyl)-Benzaldehyde to be the major constituent of the essential oil of the fruits 58.56% followed by 2-Caren-10-al and 3-Caren-10-al (11.83% and 2.87%, respectively). So far nothing could be traced concerning the oil biological activity. The antimicrobial sensitivity as well as the MIC against different fungal, gram positive and gram negative strains was carried out. The antimicrobial snsitivity was higher as antifungal followed by the Gram-positive strains, and Gram-negative bacteria strains compared to the positive controls. The essential oil showed high selective antimicrobial potential (MIC 1.95–62.5 μg/mL for bacteria; and MIC 3.9–31.25 μg/mL for fungi). DNA fingerprinting of the cultivated leaves were carried out for authentication of the plant. Keywords: Serenoa repens , essential oil, 4-(1-methylethyl)-Benzaldehyde, Antimicrobial, GC/MS, DNA.
