Utjecaj inovacija na gospodarski rast i razvoj

One of the most important parameters of economic growth and development, but also of increasing productivity and competitiveness, is human capital and its knowledge. Investing in knowledge results in the creation of innovative products and processes. Innovation is the driver of the modern economy, helping to turn ideas and knowledge into products and services, or into something commercial and useful. Innovation and their development have become one of the primary goals of all modern enterprises. They are considered on the basis of growth and progress. Firms investing in innovation tend to achieve greater and faster growth than those that do not innovate and do not invest in innovation.
Economic growth is a dynamic process of increasing a domestic product or national income in an economy, while economic development is a process of economic growth that is accompanied by changes in the economic and social structure of society, improving the quality of life and standards, and the redistribution of income and social power. In the age of modern IT advancement, innovations have become a constant companion for economic growth and development. There is a long-term connection between innovation and economic growth and development, and in this thesis we will analyze, among other things, how strong their connection is.

Modification of the Tumor Microenvironment as a Novel Target of Renal Cell Carcinoma Therapeutics

To move forward with immunotherapy, it is important to understand how the tumor microenvironment generates systemic immunosuppression in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as well as in patients with other types of solid tumors. Even though antigen discovery in RCC has lagged behind melanoma, recent clinical trials have finally authenticated that RCC is susceptible to vaccine-based therapy. Furthermore, judicious coadministration of cytokines and chemotherapy can potentiate therapeutic responses to vaccine in RCC and prolong survival, as has already proved possible for melanoma. Although high-dose interleukin 2 immunotherapy has been superseded as first-line therapy for RCC by promiscuous receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (rTKIs) such as sunitinib, sunitinib itself is a potent immunoadjunct in animal tumor models. A reasonable therapeutic goal is to unite antiangiogenic strategies with immunotherapy as first-line therapy for RCC. This strategy is equally appropriate for testing in all solid tumors in which the microenvironment generates immunosuppression. A common element of RCC and pancreatic, colon, breast, and other solid tumors is large numbers of circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and because MDSCs elicit regulatory T cells rather than vice versa, gaining control over MDSCs is an important initial step in any immunotherapy. Although rTKIs like sunitinib have a remarkable capacity to deplete MDSCs and restore normal T-cell function in peripheral body compartments such as the bloodstream and the spleen, such rTKIs are effective only against MDSCs, which are engaged in phospho-STAT3-dependent programming (pSTAT3+). Unfortunately, rTKI-resistant pSTAT3- MDSCs are especially apt to arise within the tumor microenvironment itself, necessitating strategies that do not rely exclusively on STAT3 disruption. The most utilitarian strategy to gain control of both pSTAT3+ and pSTAT3- MDSCs may be to exploit the natural differentiation pathway, which permits MDSCs to mature into tumoricidal macrophages (TM1) via such stimuli as Toll-like receptor agonists, interferon γ, and CD40 ligation. Overall, this review highlights the mechanisms of immune suppression used by the different regulatory cell types operative in RCC as well as other tumors. It also describes the different therapeutic strategies to overcome the suppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment.
Disconnecting to connect: Understanding optimistic disconnection in BitTorrent

The significance of BitTorrent motivated various studies focused on modeling and evaluating the protocol characteristics and its current implementations in the Internet. So far, however, no work has investigated Optimistic Disconnect (OD), an ad hoc connection management mechanism widely employed in BitTorrent agents. OD allows a peer to search for “better” neighbors in the swarm by disconnecting peers from the current neighborhood and connecting to others. This paper presents an extensive experimental evaluation to study and quantify potential benefits of OD, such as average download time and topology robustness. We evaluate different scenarios and the impact of factors such as average peer reachability and arrival pattern. We found that OD generally improves the overall performance of the swarm (in up to 30% in the evaluated scenarios), while improving the robustness of its topology.
Progressive polyradiculoneuropathy due to intraneural oxalate deposition in type 1 primary hyperoxaluria

A 24-year-old man with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) presented with a rapidly progressive axonal and demyelinating sensorimotor polyradiculoneuropathy shortly after the onset of end-stage renal disease. His plasma oxalate level was markedly elevated at 107 µmol/L (normal<1.8 µmol/L).A sural nerve biopsy was performed. Teased fiber and paraffin and epoxy sections were done and morphometric procedures were performed on this sample and on an archived sample from a 22-year-old man as an age- and gender-matched control. Embedded teased fiber electron microscopy was also performed.The biopsy revealed secondary demyelination and axonal degeneration. Under polarized light, multiple bright hexagonal, rectangular, and starburst inclusions, typical of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals, were seen.The proposed mechanisms of nerve damage include disruption of axonal transport due to crystal deposition, toxic effect of oxalate, or nerve ischemia related to vessel occlusion from oxalate crystal deposition.

The effect of the lunar cycle on frequency of births: A retrospective observational study in Indian population

For ancient period moon has been held responsible for many biological activities. That way, lunar cycle, by activity of moon, has been held responsible for increase in number of child birth. In this retrospective, observational study, we examined a total of 9890 full-term spontaneous deliveries as well as non-elective cesarean sections that occurred throughout 12 lunar months (February 7 th , 2008-January 25 th , 2009) in a rural medical college to evaluate the influence of the lunar position on the distribution of deliveries among Indian population. Student's 't' test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis where each delivery was considered as a single measure. We found no significant differences in the frequency of births during various phase of lunar cycle regardless of route of delivery. Our observations do not support the hypothesis of a relationship between lunar cycle and the frequency of obstetric deliveries.
O diálogo com a floresta: qual é o limite da bioeconomia na Amazônia?

Antítese com relação as propostas unilaterais e triunfalistas que estão sendo apresentadas para acabar com os desmatamentos e queimadas na Amazônia apoiada na bioeconomia, extrativismo vegetal, sistemas agroflorestais, venda de créditos de carbono e serviços ambientais, entre os principais. Há necessidade de se avançar na fronteira científica e tecnológica e não se apoiar somente no conhecimento dos indígenas, quilombolas, ribeirinhos e populações tradicionais. Há necessidade de criar alternativas de renda e emprego para mais de 761 mil pequenos produtores que vivem na Amazônia, representando 83% do universo de produtores da região, na redução da heterogeneidade tecnológica das atividades produtivas, intensificar a pecuária, reflorestamento, plantio de cultivos perenes e piscicultura. Urge promover (Estado, Ciência e Iniciativa Privada) em uma visão de futuro articulada, pautada em gestão, pesquisa e planejamento. Só assim o País poderá aproveitar a histórica janela de oportunidades da Amazônia explorar suas potencialidades econômicas em harmonia com os desafios ambientais.
Cross Border Living laboratories for Agroforestry

Agroforestry - a land use management system in which trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastureland - has varied benefits, including increased biodiversity and reduced erosion. The combination of agriculture and forestry in the Mediterranean is deeply rooted in a culture of tradition and niche production but fails nowadays to structure its knowledge to achieve an integrated system of good practices for the sustainability of production, the protection of the biodiversity of distinct ecosystems, the transfer of innovation and the increase in profitability for the territories/actors involved. Therefore, LIVINGAGRO will tackle these issues using an Open Innovation approach, based on the setting-up of two Living Laboratories making possible the co-creation of the economic and social values and the interactions between supply and demand, eliminating geographical and cultural barriers. A specific focus will be on olive multifunctional system (Living Laboratory 1) and grazed woodlands (Living Laboratory 2). Olive cultivation is representative of many Mediterranean rural areas, and traditionally olive orchards were and are often still managed as agroforestry systems, in combination with cereals, fodder legumes and/or pasture. Grazed woodlands are major agroforestry systems in the Mediterranean that highly contribute to sustaining Mediterranean local economies supplying both vegetal and animal products.

In the Two sessions of 2010,the income distribution was concerned unprecedented once again.The premier said the country's income distribution system should be perfected so that all 1.3 billion Chinese could enjoy the fruit of the country's reform and opening-up drive.To achieve this objective,we have to study the role of the local government in rationalize the income distribution.Generally,the financial income distribution functions is implemented to a great extent by the uniform distribution of policies taken by the central government,while it is difficult to the local ones.However,the current situation of the income gap shows the strength of the central government for adjusting income distribution is limited,while the local government play a bigger role within its jurisdiction.This paper analyzes the situation and reasons of the unfair income distribution in Liaoning Province,Calculate the Gini coefficient in Liaoning Province in recent years,especially.Conduct a statistical appraises between the financial expenditure and the income gap,and propose the preliminary proposal of fiscal policy accordingly.
GRANITOS PALEOPROTEROZÓICOS NO ESCUDO PRÉ-CAMBRIANO BOLIVIANO: AS ROCHAS MAGMÁTICAS DA CORRERECA DE 1,92-1,89 GA E IMPLICAÇÕES TECTÔNICAS

Os resultados U-Pb em zircões apresentados neste trabalho definem uma importante modificação na cronoestratigrafia das unidades no pré-cambriano boliviano. Nesse sentido, o granito Correreca apresenta uma variação de idade entre 1,92 e 1,89 Ga e provavelmente foi gerado em um evento magmático Paleoproterozóico ainda não reportado no pré-Cambriano Boliviano. As unidades aqui descritas como embasamento correspondem às rochas mais antigas em relação à orogenia San Ignacio. Nesse sentido, estas rochas mais antigas que o evento Lomas Manechi, relatado aqui pelo granito Correreca, que ocorre na parte sul da zona de cisalhamento de San Diablo e indicam uma história geológica distinta de outras áreas do embasamento pré-cambriano na Bolívia. Na região de Santo Corazon e a sul da frente de San Diablo, a intrusão da Correreca apresenta uma composição maioritariamente granodiorítica. Nesse sentido, a frente de San Diablo foi interpretada como uma zona de sutura entre os blocos sudeste do Paraguá e Sunsás composta por uma zona de cisalhamento gerada pela colisão entre os blocos com evoluções geológicas distintas.

Changes in the physiological response between leaves and fruits during a moderate water stress in table olive trees

Abstract Pit hardening period is the phenological stage when water stress is recommended in regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) in olive trees. In table olive trees, fruit growth is a very important process which could affect the final profit of the yield. RDI scheduling based on water status measurements could improve water management, but accurate threshold values are needed. Previous works in low fruit load conditions suggested −1.8 MPa of midday stem water potential as “first step” of water stress level where no variations of fruit growth have been detected. The aim of this work is to describe the physiological response of table olive trees with a significant yield in a moderate water stress conditions during pit hardening period. Water relations of Control (no water stress) trees and Stressed trees were studied in a mature table olive orchard in Seville (Spain). Control trees were irrigated with 100% of ET c and values around field capacity were measured. Irrigation in Stressed trees was withdrawn during pit hardening period, and they were irrigated as Control in the rest of the experiment. Fruit growth was not affected until the last days of the deficit period, though midday stem water potential and maximum leaf conductance measurements reached minimum values a few days after the beginning of the water stress period. Such responses suggest two phases in the water stress period. At the beginning of the experiment, the physiological response of the trees (osmotic adjustment and trunk dehydration in the present work) compensated the decrease in water potential. In this phase, leaves and fruits are similar water sink in the shoots. During the last days of the drought period, the reduction of the osmotic adjustment and the greater decrease of fruit water potential transform fruits in more strength water sink than leaves. These changes produced a decrease in the fruit growth. The recovery, though it was not complete, increase fruit size as the same level than Control.
The World Trade Center disaster: a tragic source of medical advancement

The history of medicine is full of examples of the determination of scientists when faced with public health disasters. As a result of this strength, many tragedies that occurred in the 20th century were followed by important scientific developments. If World War I marked the advent of chemical weapons, it also provided respiratory specialists with knowledge about the effects of poisonous gases on the lungs and led to the development of the first practical gas mask for mass production. The increased use of aircraft in warfare during World War II prompted Forrest M. Bird to develop oxygen masks to enable pilots to fly at higher altitudes than ever before. Further improvements of this technology led to the invention of the first modern ventilators, such as the Bird Universal Medical Respirator. The legacy of the Vietnam War to the medical field was the identification of acute respiratory distress syndrome (called Da Nang Lung at that time), by Colorado researchers in 1967 [1]. Other tragedies, such as the 1986 catastrophic nuclear accident of Chernobyl, led to a better understanding of the physiology of radiation poisoning, which had been evolving since the Hiroshima bombing, and helped improve treatment for victims of other disasters. There were advances in the creation of sterile hospital rooms, infection prevention, intravenous transfusion, life support systems, plasmapheresis, platelet transfusion, and bone marrow transplants.

The dawn of the 21st century saw another tragedy that will remain in the memory of many generations to come: the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in New York City, NY, …
On the effects of line-of-sight structures on lensing flux-ratio anomalies in a ΛCDM universe

The flux-ratio anomalies observed in multiply-lensed quasar images are most plausibly explained as the result of perturbing structures superposed on the underlying smooth matter distribution of the primary lens. The cold dark matter cosmological model predicts that a large number of substructures should survive inside larger halos but, surprisingly, this population alone has been shown to be insufficient to explain the observed distribution of the flux ratios of quasar's multiple images. Other halos (and their own subhalos) projected along the line of sight to the primary lens have been considered as additional source of perturbation. In this work, we use ray tracing through the Millennium II simulation to investigate the importance of projection effects due to halos and subhalos of mass m>1E8 Msun/h and extend our analysis to lower masses, m>1E6 Msun/h, using Monte-Carlo halo distributions. We find that the magnitude of the violation depends strongly on the density profile and concentration of the intervening halos, but clustering plays only a minor role. For a typical lensing geometry (lens at redshift 0.6 and source at redshift 2), background haloes (behind the main lens) are more likely to cause a violation than foreground halos. We conclude that line-of-sight structures can be as important as intrinsic substructures in causing flux-ratio anomalies. The combined effect of perturbing structures within the lens and along the line of sight in the LCDM universe results in a cusp-violation probability of 20-30%. This alleviates the discrepancy between models and current data, but a larger observational sample is required for a stronger test of the theory.
Pollution status and ecological risk of heavy metals in the soils of five land-use types in a typical sewage irrigation area, eastern China

Sewage irrigation has been widespread in the water shortage area of eastern China and inevitably tends to result in heavy metal accumulation in soils. A total of 148 surface soil samples from five land-use types were collected in Longkou, a typical sewage irrigation area of China, and As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn concentrations were determined. The Nemerow index method and improved fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method were used to examine the pollution status of heavy metals. The potential ecological risk was evaluated by the Hakanson model by adjusting the assessment threshold, and its spatial distribution was interpolated using geostatistical techniques. As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn accumulated in different amounts in the five land-use types. Urban industrial land and mining land were moderately polluted, irrigated land was slightly polluted, orchards were minimally polluted, and bare land was at a safe level of pollution. Cd exhibited high percentages of strong and severe levels of potential ecological risks. For Cd, irrigated land, orchard, and bare land mainly presented moderate risks, whereas urban industrial land and mining land mainly presented high risks. The comprehensive ecological risk of the five heavy metals was at a severe level for all tested land-use classes except for bare land.
