CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CZECH COUNTRYSIDE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON LOCAL POPULATION ACTIVITIES AND ATTITUDES

Our paper tested the role of local population in development of rural municipalities. We focused especially on attitudes and general characteristics of people and tried to answer the question to which extent is the success of village development connected with the kind of people living there. In other words, determining the role of cultural and social capital in rural development. Presented results are based on work carried out by a research team within the three-year project entitled “Countryside as a Space for Living or just a Space for Surviving”, supported by the Czech Ministry of Agriculture 1 . We analyzed statistical data from a fifteen-year period (1995-2009). From the rural area with more than 6,000 villages that fit to OECD definition, villages from sub-urban zones were excluded, leaving an area with approximately 4,500 villages. We decided that demographic development would serve as a main indicator of village prosperity the increasing number of population during our analyzed period. Four thousand villages were statistically divided into five groups in terms of growing or decreasing number of population due to a different level of combination of two factors rate of population growth (crude rate of natural increase) and rate of migration (crude rate of net migration). One thousand respondents, from one hundred villages selected at random, were asked about their life conditions in their village. The results we gained partly confirm our hypothesis that the role of cultural capital is not negligible for determining the type of development.
OPCAB- Is It the “Best Technique” for Coronary Revascularization?

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the commonest cardiovascular disorders. The management of CAD is both pharmacological or interventional that includes percutaneous catheter intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The indication of the intervention depends upon the severity i.e. number and quality of the diseased vessels and associated comorbidities. Severe CAD such as three-vessel disease (TVD) and left main disease (LMD) are considered as indications of CABG.
Morphological and biochemical characterization of Azospirillum isolates from rhizoplane of foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.]

Azospirillum represents the best characterized genus of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. Forty different strains of Azospirillum spp. were isolated from the different rhizoplane samples of foxtail millet grown in forty different locations in Raichur and Koppal districts of Northern Karnataka and were studied for their morphological and biochemical characters. Out of 40 isolates, 17 isolates were positive for biotin requirement, glucose utilization and acid production tests. 21 isolates were negative for denitrification test and all forty isolates were positive for nitrate reduction test. Out of forty isolates, twenty three isolates were identified as A. brasilense and remaining seventeen as A. lipoferum.
Conceptual Collocations of Words in Comparative Sentences

A comparative sentence is a kind of sentence for describing the comparative result after comparing two objects. There are many conceptual collocations of words in comparative sentences, so it is necessary for studying the types and characteristics in Chinese comparative sentences. This paper summarized some usual conceptual collocations in ten kinds of comparative sentences. It proposed a method of recognizing comparative sentences according to these conceptual collocations. Our system, which was built for recognizing and analyzing comparative sentences, got 80.95% F-value in the test set.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in the elderly: an umbrella review

Aim: The management of aortic stenosis has seen momentous changes thanks to the introduction of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI, i.e., transcatheter aortic valve replacement). Indications to TAVI have expanded progressively to intermediateand low-risk patients, but trends in life expectancy have led to an increase of elderly but fit individuals with aortic stenosis eligible for TAVI. Methods: We reviewed the current evidence base on TAVI in the elderly by conducting an umbrella review (i.e., overview of systematic reviews), based on a formal bibliographic search for systematic reviews on TAVI in elderly patients (≥ 65 years). Key, study, patient, procedural, and outcome data were extracted, and validity formally appraised with the
Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Maturation and Migration of Triggering of B7h by the ICOS Modulates

B7h, expressed by several cell types, binds ICOS expressed by activated T cells. We have previously shown that B7h triggering by ICOS-Fc inhibits human endothelial cell adhesiveness. This work investigated the effect of ICOS-Fc on human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). We found that DCs matured with LPS in the presence of ICOS-Fc (mDCs ICOS ) produced greater amounts of IL-23 and IL-10, and promoted a higher secretion of IL-17A and IL-17F in MLCs than did those DCs matured with LPS alone (mDCs). Moreover, mDCs ICOS pulsed with the keyhole limpet hemocyanin Ag during the maturation phase were better stimulators of Ag-speciﬁc MHC class I–, but not class II–restricted T cells than mDCs. This was probably due to promotion of cross-presentation because it was not detected when the Flu-MA 58–66 Ag was directly loaded on already matured DCs and mDCs ICOS . Finally, ICOS-Fc inhibited the adhesion of both immature DCs and mDCs to vascular and lymphoid endothelial cells, their migratory activity, and the expression of the Rac-1 activator b -Pix involved in cell motility. These data suggest that B7h stimulation modulates DC function with effects on their maturation and recruitment into tissues. This opens a novel view on the use of interactors of the ICOS:B7h system as immunomodulatory drugs. The Journal of Immunology , 2013, at least 100 times more potent than macrophages in ac-tivating naive T cells in vitro and are able to “cross-present” endocytosed proteins on MHC class I (MHC-I), in addition to the standard presentation on MHC-II (41, 42). iDCs are recruited to sites of inﬂammation by inducible inﬂammatory chemokines, such as CCL5, whereas mDCs are directed to draining secondary lymphoid tissues by constitutive chemokines, such as CCL19 and CCL21, via upregulation CCR7 (43). In this study, we show that the triggering of B7h substantially modulates LPS-induced maturation of DCs by inﬂuencing cytokine secretion and promoting cross-presentation. Moreover, it inhibits DC adhesiveness to ECs, their migratory activity, and expression of the Rac-1 activator b -Pix involved in cell motility.
on Discourse Structure in Neural NLG

Data-to-text Natural Language Generation (NLG) is a consolidated ﬁeld of research which normally combines Computational Linguistics, Software Engineering and Artiﬁcial Intelligence methods to generate natural language from non-linguistic representations. Traditionally, most data-to-text applications have been designed using a modular pipeline architecture, in which the non-linguistic input data is converted into natural language through several intermediate transformations. In contrast, inﬂuenced by the phenomenon of deep learning, recent neural models for data-to-text generation have been proposed as end-to-end approaches, where the non-linguistic input is rendered in natural language with much less explicit intermediate representations in-between. Theoretically, we know that pipeline approaches are more transparent and their modules can be reused across applications, whereas neural end-to-end approaches may demand less manual labor and has registered state-of-the-art results in other text generation tasks, such as Machine Translation. Although we know these pros and cons in theory, the question about which kind of model empirically generates the most ﬂuent and semantic texts from non-linguistic representations still remains unanswered. This lack of an empirical comparison is partially caused by the fact that traditional benchmarks for the task only consist of raw non-linguistic representations in parallel with their textual realizations, beneﬁting the evaluation of end-to-end approaches but not of pipeline ones, since explicit intermediate representations are missing for the study of particular modules of the latter architecture. In this presentation, I will introduce an annotation framework to enrich popular benchmarks with explicit intermediate representations, which will help the development and evaluation of particular pipeline modules as Discourse Ordering, Aggregation, Lexicalization, Referring Expressions Generation and Textual Realization. Based on a version of a popular data-to-text benchmark enriched with our framework, I will also present the results of a comparison between pipeline and end-to-end approaches. Finally, based on the ﬁndings of this project, I will project future challenges in the research of data-to-text NLG
Comparing durum wheat cultivars by genotype × yield ×trait and genotype × trait biplot method

The specification of the most convenient cultivars based on multiple trait indices is a new approach in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) adaptation and stability studies. This approach helps to define the best cultivar based on multiple traits and multiple locations because cultivars are affected by unpredictable climatic conditions. Some traits (ears per square meter, spike length, number of grains per spike, spike yield, and leaf chlorophyll content among others) can be produced for primary breeding purposes because they are influenced by environmental factors and indirectly affect grain yield and quality. Therefore, in the present study, the new genotype × yield × trait (GYT) biplot approach was used to identify the best cultivar among 10 durum wheat cultivars based on multiple environments (8) and multiple traits (18). Cultivar ranking was examined by a superiority index that combined yield and other target traits with the GYT biplot. The general adaptability of each cultivar in terms of all the traits indicated differences based on environment means, and significant differences were found between varieties for the GYT biplot. In the GYT biplot, yield-trait combinations clearly indicated the most stable cultivars, whereas in the genotype × trait (GT) biplot, the best cultivars were not defined for all traits. ‘Sariçanak’ was ranked as the best combination of physio-morphological traits with grain yield, ‘Zühre’ was the best for more quality traits, and ‘Güneyyildizi’ was the best for both physio-morphological and quality traits in the GYT biplot. The GYT biplot combines traits with yield and can help the visual identification of the best cultivars; it is better than the GT biplot method.
Low-Thrust Trajectory Design for a Cislunar CubeSat Leveraging Structures from the Bicircular Restricted Four-Body Problem

The upcoming Lunar IceCube (LIC) mission will deliver a 6U CubeSat to a low lunar orbit via a ride-share opportunity during NASAs Artemis 1 mission. This presents a challenging trajectory design scenario, as the vast change in energy required to transfer from the initial deployment state to the destination orbit is compounded by the limitations of the LICs low-thrust engine. This investigation addresses these challenges by developing a trajectory design framework that utilizes dynamical structures available in the Bicircular Restricted Four-Body Problem (BCR4BP) along with a robust direct collocation algorithm. Maps are created that expedite the selection of invariant manifold paths from a periodic staging orbit in the BCR4BP that offer favorable connections between the LIC transfer phases. Initial guesses assembled from these maps are passed to a direct collocation algorithm that corrects them in the BCR4BP while including the variable low-thrust acceleration of the spacecraft engine. Results indicate that the ordered motion provided by the BCR4BP and the robustness of direct collocation combine to offer an efficient and adaptable framework for designing a baseline trajectory for the LIC mission.
Subset Selection in a Multiple Linear Regression Model: An Improved Tabu Search

This thesis deals with the subset selection that is a vital combinatorial optimization problem in multivariate statistics. It is the selection of the optimal subset of variables in order to reliably construct a multiple linear regression model. Since this problem has NP-complete nature, the larger the size of the variables, the harder to find the optimal solution. In general, many metaheuristic methods have been developed to tackle the problem. In the subset selection problem, two typical metaheuristics, which are tabu search and hybrid GSA (genetic and simulated annealing algorithm), was proposed. However, they have some shortcomings, that is, the tabu search takes a lot of computing time due to many neighborhood moves and GSA’s solution quality is less accurate. This paper proposes an improved tabu search algorithm to reduce moves of the neighborhood and adopt the appropriate move search strategy. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, a comparative study is performed on both the literature data sets and simulation data sets. Computational results show that the proposed method outperforms the previous metaheuristics in terms of the computing time and solution quality.
evelopment of electrospun PVdF–PAN membrane-based olymer electrolytes for lithium batteries

Electrospun fibrous membranes of composites of polyvinylidene fluoride and polyacrylonitrile (PVdF–PAN–ESFMs) are prepared with different proportions of PAN (25, 50 and 75%, w/w). The morphology of the ESFMs is examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). FESEM image of PVdF–ESFM reveals that the fibers have uniform diameters and smooth surfaces. However, the fibers of PVdF–PAN–ESFMs are interconnected with large number of voids and cavities of different sizes. These voids are effectively utilized for the preparation of polymer electrolytes by loading lectrospun fibrous membrane olyvinylidene fluoride
Exploitation of expert system in identifying organizational ethics through controlling decision making process

Article history: Received: October 24, 2019 Received in revised format: November 28 2019 Accepted: December 22, 2019 Available online: December 22, 2019 This paper examines how expert system may negatively or positively influence ethical based decision making process in an organization. Expert system ethical characteristics are chosen; including lack of human intelligence, lack of emotions, accidental bias and lack of values. Depending on quantitative approach; and through distributing a questionnaire on (132) GM, Deputy GM, project manager and officer, it appeared that expert systems' characteristics negatively influenced on the degree of ethics within the organizational setting. According to analysis, it appears that lack of values and human intelligence were among the characteristics that hinder the ethical stream adoption within an organization leading to ethics problems and malfunctioning on the decision making process. On the other hand, lack of emotions appeared to have good impact on the ethical efforts within an organization. Researchers recommended taking extra measures of surveillance in terms of ethics for individuals who are supposed to develop and monitor expert systems. © 2020 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada
The Invasion Hierarchy: Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Invasions in the Fossil Record

Species invasions are pervasive in Earth history, yet the ecological and evolutionary consequences vary greatly. Ancient invasion events can be organized in a hierarchy of increasing invasion intensity from ephemeral invasions to globally pervasive invasive regimes. Each level exhibits emergent properties exceeding the sum of interactions at lower levels. Hierarchy levels correspond to, but do not always exactly correlate with, geographic extent of invasion success. The ecological impacts of lower-level impacts can be negligible or result in temporary community accommodation. Invasion events at moderate to high levels of the hierarchy permanently alter ecological communities, regional faunas, and global ecosystems. The prevalence of invasive species results in evolutionary changes by fostering niche evolution, differential survival of ecologically generalized taxa, faunal homogenization, and suppressing speciation. These impacts can contribute to mass extinctions and biodiversity crises that alter the trajectory of ecological and evolutionary patterns of life. The fossil record provides a long-term record of how invasion impacts may scale up through time, which can augment ecological studies of modern species invasions.
Humor as Monotony Breaker in Funny Ads: A Multi-Modal Discourse Analysis of Ads of Pakistani Ufone & Jazz Cellular Companies

The present study explores and analyzes the role of humor in the advertisement as the message in advertisements keeps a pivotal value constructing and promoting the idea of promotional activity by any company. So, the companies and promoters of products utilize and employ various distinctive and discursive strategies to promote their products focusing on the interests of their consumers. The research concludes that Pakistan is the one amongst other countries, in which, advertisers and promotors utilize humor as an important feature in advertainments at a huge level. Along with entertainment, the promoters promote the text and its discourse through humor which influences the decision-buying process of consumers. However, they often try to utilize humor neutralizing the social or personal values. Recent studies prove that intelligent and sensible use of humor by the companies can lead them to success if it is more relevant to the products’ nature and function. A Multi-Modal Approach, employing Fairclough’s (1989) 3D model along with Kress and van Leeuwen’s (1996) grammar of visual design, is employed to analyze data. The findings of the study suggest that the humor if handled properly, can play a vital role in captivating consumers’ interest towards the product as it takes them away from the tensions of life and makes the product more appealing. Moreover, humor as a monotony breaker makes the ad more attractive that ultimately adds to the promotion of the product.
MYRIAPOD PHYLOGENY AND THE RELATIONSHIPS OF CHILOPODA

1 Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia. 2 Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, 16 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138, E.U.A. RESUMEN. Estudios recientes han propuesto que los Myriapoda constituyen un grupo monofilético, parafilético en relación con los Hexapoda, o incluso polifilético. Algunos caracteres morfológicos compartidos por los Chilopoda y los Progoneata son sinapomorfías potenciales de los Myriapoda. La monofilia de Myriapoda es más robusta cuando los hexápodos se unen con los crustáceos (las supuestas sinapomorfías de Atelocerata unen a los miriápodos). El análisis de la filogenia interna de los Chilopoda (ciempiés) basada en la combinación de secuencias de rRNA 18S y 28S y morfología soportan la monofilia de todos los órdenes, incluyendo a Lithobiomorpha, y de los clados supraordinales Pleurostigmophora, Epimorpha y Craterostigmus + Epimorpha. Los datos moleculares y morfológicos coinciden en la división de Lithobiomorpha en Lithobiidae y Henicopidae (= Anopsobiinae + Henicopinae), en la parafilia de las Cryptopidae en relación con las Scolopendridae, y en la división de los Geophilomorpha en Adesmata y Placodesmata.
Larvicidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis Colombian native strains against Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, an insect of the order Hemiptera which attacks more than 600 species of plants, is one of the most important agricultural pests around the world. The insecticidal Cry proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are useful biological pesticides, and some are toxic to Hemipteran insects. In this study, Colombian native isolates of Bt were functionally characterized at molecular and biological levels. The strains contained between one and five different crystal shapes: round, triangular, amorphous, bipyramidal and squared. The strains presented between three to seven bands of proteins in their electrophoretic pattern that were organized into six groups according to their possible biological activity on insect pests. Cry1Aa, cry1Ab, cry1Ac, cry1B and cry1C genes were identified for PCR in the different Bt isolates. Bioassays were performed on tomato leaves whose surface was spread with 3 μg · ml−1 crude extract of Bt toxins. Second instar larvae of whitefly, which were placed on top of leaves and exposed to the toxins for 7 days, exhibited mortalities from 18 to 69%. The lethal concentration 50 (LC50) of ZBUJTL39, Bt kurstaki HD1 and ZCUJTL9 strains were 1.83, 1.85 and 2.16 μg · ml−1, respectively (p < 0.05). These results show that the native Bt strain ZBUJTL39, which contained the genes cry1Aa, cry1Ab, cryCa and cryBa could eventually be used for the development of an integrated management program together with other tools for the control of B. tabaci.
PRELIMINARY STUDY OF NATURAL PIGMENTS PHOTOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF Curcuma longa L. AND Lawsonia inermis L. AS TiO2 PHOTOELECTRODE SENSITIZER

Curcumin and lawsone dyes extracted from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and henna (Lawsonia inermis L.) are used to investigate their possibility as photosensitizers on a TiO2 photoelectrode, respectively. The natural dyes undergo simple cold extraction techniques without further purification. The photochemical properties are studied by FT-IR spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The FTIR spectra revealed that the presence of hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups in both dyes indicated the presence of important characteristics in a sensitizer to graft on to TiO2 photoelectrode. The broad range of absorption peak wavelength obtained in this work shows that curcumin and lawsone are promising candidates for efficient sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The maximum absorption peak attributed for curcumin and lawsone are 425 nm and 673 nm. The optical bandgaps calculated are 2.48 eV and 1.77 eV, respectively. The findings indicated the potential of naturally obtained dyes to act as photosensitizers in DSSC.
PETROLISM IN CUBA AND IMPLICATIONS OF U.S. INVESTMENT IN THE CUBAN OIL SECTOR

Researchers have devoted a great deal of effort to analyze the perverse link between oil and economic development. Particular attention has been given to top producers in the Middle East, but also to other oil emerging economies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In all these cases, it seems that oil and—other natural resources as well—have cursed the economies of the countries that heavily rely on them. Empirical research has provided strong evidence on the antidemocratic properties of oil and other minerals.
TOWARDS A SENSES-BASED MODEL FOR EXPERIENTIAL TOURISM: THE YOUTOOSCANY.COM CASE

An experience can be defined as the “the result of encountering, undergoing, or living through situations” and “triggered stimulations to the senses, the heart, and the mind”. Senses play a central role in our perception of the surrounding world and in the experience process. According to this, the study of sensory dimension of tourist experiences is recently pointed out as pivotal to management in the tourism industry. In particular, recent studies show that there is not a dominant sense but a successful tourism destination should attract tourists by more stimuli and provide for all the senses. That is why in tourism, today, is preferred than the word landscape, the concept of “sensescape”, as multi-sensorial “scape”. In this paper we present an innovative way to see the experience process and a model, based on multisensory criteria, namely taking into account of all the senses. We also show how this model has allowed us to define authentic experiences in project youtooscany.com, focused on the territory of Fiesole and Florence (Italy).
