AbstractPrevious studies have suggested that only flow in the activity that one finds important contributes to well-being. This study was done in order to further investigate the role of flow in different activities and its impact on well-being in two types of students, i.e. nonworking students (NWS) and part-time working students (PWS).The sample comprised first and second year university students (85% female) at the University of Zagreb, 113 NWS and 110 PWS. Several questionnaires were administered in order to assess flow in different activities, well-being, and burnout. Also, students reported their grade point average (GPA).The results showed that in both groups flow in academic activities was the only stable positive predictor of well-being and academic achievement, and a negative predictor of burnout, in line with the finding that both groups of students assessed academic activities as the most important and most useful. Additionally, there were no differences between NWS and PWS in well-being, burnout, and GPA, suggesting that this PWS group was not yet experiencing any negative consequences of part-time working. The importance of introducing flow inducing activities in academic assignments is suggested as crucial for students’ well-being.Key words: burnout; flow; part-time working; university students; well-being.---SažetakPrethodna istraživanja sugeriraju da samo zanesenost u aktivnostima koje osoba smatra važnima doprinosi dobrobiti. Ovo je istraživanje provedeno kako bi se dodatno istražila uloga zanesenosti u različitim aktivnostima u dobrobiti studenata koji povremeno rade i studenata koji ne rade.Uzorak su činili studenti prve i druge godine sveučilišnih studija (85 % ženskih) na Sveučilištu u Zagrebu (110 povremeno zaposlenih i 113 koji ne rade). Nekoliko je upitnika primijenjeno kako bi se procijenila zanesenost u različitim aktivnostima, dobrobit i sagorijevanje. Također, studenti su naveli prosjek ocjena.Rezultati su pokazali da je zanesenost u akademskim aktivnostima u obje skupine bila jedini stabilan pozitivan prediktor dobrobiti i akademskog uspjeha te negativan prediktor sagorijevanja, u skladu s činjenicom da su obje skupine studenata procijenile akademske aktivnosti najvažnijima i najkorisnijima. Osim toga, nije bilo razlike između grupa studenata u dobrobiti, sagorijevanju i prosjeku ocjena, što sugerira da trenutno nema negativnih posljedica povremene zaposlenosti kod studenata. Preporučuje se uvođenje što više akademskih aktivnosti koje potiču zanesenost jer su se pokazale kao bitne za studentsku dobrobit.Ključne riječi: dobrobit; povremeni rad; sagorijevanje; studenti; zanesenost.

El Club Internacional de San José y la cultura ilustrada finisecular
Authors: Santamaría Montero Leonardo
Published: June 2018

El “Club Internacional”, luego denominado “Club Internacional de Costa Rica”, fue la asociación cultural más importante de la capital durante las últimas dos décadas del siglo XIX. Esta agrupación privada fue creada como un punto de encuentro para los ciudadanos más “ilustres” de la Costa Rica de la época; un lugar donde dedicaban su tiempo al entretenimiento y a los negocios. La presente investigación se propone introducir al objeto de estudio y para ello: se exploran los antecedentes del Club Internacional, se determinan algunos locales del club, se analizan los estatutos de 1884, se revisa el relato de uno de sus miembros y se estudian dos eventos acontecidos en 1885. Se propone que mediante el estudio sistemático del Club Internacional y de sus actividades, la Historia del Arte y la Historia de la Cultura costarricense encontrarán en él un núcleo de la “cultura ilustrada” finisecular.
La inserción de una obediencia española en los Estados Unidos: el Soberano Consejo General Ibérico y la Gran Logia Simbólica Española (1892-1898)
Authors: Enriquez del Árbol Eduardo
Published: June 2018

Esta comunicación presenta un tema singular: La propagación y asentamiento de una Obediencia española, el Soberano Consejo General Ibérico y la Gran Logia Simbólica Española, por primera vez en los Estados Unido de América a fines del siglo XIX (1892-1898). El trabajo se divide en tres partes. En la primera, nos permitimos dar una visión muy breve de lo que fue la obediencia española, su fundación y contenidos en la última década del siglo XIX a través de su Boletín. En la segunda, abordamos el estudio cronológicamente, siguiendo el discurso histórico de las páginas del Boletín y que hemos dividido por años. Todo este proceso se interrumpe con la guerra hispano-norteamericana de 1898. Y en la tercera parte, ofrecemos las conclusiones. Añadiremos como punto final, un apéndice con las listas de las logias y de los nombres de los masones norteamericanos que de forma muy escueta aparecen en el Boletín.
Música para ritual masónico de Ramón Figueroa Morales: Documentos testimoniales sobre la práctica musical en la logia Prudencia no. 2 de Santiago de Cuba (1898-1928)
Authors: Suárez Marrero Pablo Alejandro
Published: June 2018

Hasta hace poco, los estudios sobre las prácticas musicales al interior de una logia masónica cubana eran casi inexistentes. Con la identificación de la Música para ritual masónico de Ramón Figueroa Morales dentro del Archivo de Música de la Catedral de Santiago de Cuba (AMCSC), se dio el primer paso hacia el entendimiento del tema en cuestión, su salvaguarda como posible bien integrante del patrimonio musical nacional y socialización de los resultados en medios especializados. Con conocimientos provenientes de la gestión documental, de la información y del conocimiento, se implementó una propuesta metodológica realizada expresamente para la gestión del patrimonio histórico-documental de la música en Cuba. Con la sistematización de las acciones de localización, identificación, inventario, catalogación, digitalización, estudios aplicados y difusión, aplicadas en su conjunto a los documentos de música anotada abordados, se pudo caracterizar las particularidades músico-funcionales del objeto de estudio y llegar a conclusiones generales al respecto.

Взаимодействие систем теплоснабжения для устранения потерь через наружную поверхность многослойной ограждающей конструкции
Authors: Прусенков Н. А.
Published: June 2018

При эксплуатации многослойной ограждающей конструкции (МОК) постоянно возникает превышение расчетной температуры наружной поверхности наружного слоя, сравнительно с температурой пространства, расположенного снаружи этой ограды. На наружной поверхности ограждения, соответственно, формируется выброс тепла, возникающий из-за разницы нормативного и фактического значений температур. Исключение эксплуатационных потерь тепла является целью публикации. Вариантом достижения цели представляется создание альтернативной системы теплоснабжения, следящей за изменениями температур в наружном пространстве МОК и компенсирующей или исключающей соответствующие выбросы подачей энергии. Перенос и компенсационные поступления ее выполнимы при устройстве дополнительного слоя МОК с подвижной средой и поверхностями, соприкасающимися с существующими. Теоретическая база расчета затрат энергии требует определения потерь в подвижном слое на перемещение подвижной среды, переносящей тепло. Включение в МОК подвижного слоя помимо реализации принципов тектологии требует пересмотра допустимости дистрибуции в подвижном слое, заменившем замкнутую вентиляционную прослойку, узаконенную существующими нормами и методиками определения потерь фасадными системами. Схема взаимодействия тепло-транспортных систем, в отличие от прототипа из замкнутых слоев, допускает изменение тепловосприятия и теплоотдачи в подвижном слое.  Взаимодействие существующей и регулирующей систем в подвижной среде МОК  прогнозирует модернизацию регулирования потерь энергии в период  эксплуатации.

RESUMO A tangerineira ‘Dancy’ apresenta características desejáveis como cor, aroma, sabor e ampla aceitação pelo mercado consumidor. Trata-se de uma variedade bastante produzida no estado da Paraíba, porém, suscetível a mancha marrom de alternária (MMA), causada por Alternaria f. sp. citri, responsável por comprometer a qualidade dos frutos nas regiões produtores de tangerineiras. E para prevenir essa doença, tem-se ampliado pesquisas com o uso de produtos alternativos. Portanto, objetivo do trabalho foi determinar o potencial do extrato de Caesalpinia ferrea e da Quitosana® no manejo da MMA em frutos de tangerineira ‘Dancy’. Os frutos foram desinfestados e imersos em extrato de C. ferrea nas concentrações 0; 10; 100; 500 e 1000 µg/mL e a Quitosana® a 0,5; 1,0; 1,5 e 2,0 g/L. Após 24 h da aplicação dos produtos, foi inoculado o fungo A. alternata (105 esporos/mL). No segundo dia após a inoculação, foram realizadas diariamente a avaliação da severidade (AACPD). Para as análises das atividades da fenilalanina amônia-liase, peroxidase e polifenoloxidase foram retiradas três frutos/repetição no primeiro e no décimo segundo dia do experimento. O delineamento foi em DIC com 9 tratamentos (concentrações dos produtos) e 5 repetições com 5 frutos, constituindo uma unidade experimental com 225 frutos. Foi realizada análise de regressão e o teste de Dunnett (P ≤ 0,05) no programa SAS® System 9.3. As concentrações 500 µg/mL do extrato de C. ferrea e 1,5 g/L de Quitosana® reduziram a severidade da mancha marrom de alternária e promoveram altas atividades das enzimas em frutos de tangerineira ‘Dancy’.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT Powdery mildew, caused by Oidium sp., is a disease of great importance in hydroponic crops of lettuce. However, in Brazil, there is scarce research focused on the epidemiological study of this disease, as standardized methods are necessary to quantify the disease severity in hydroponic systems. Thus, a logarithmic scale was developed at levels of 0.37, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 74% injured leaf area, testing the parameters accuracy and precision. The proposed scale was validated by eight evaluators, of whom four were experienced and four were inexperienced, and they used 50 leaves showing symptoms of the disease at different severity levels, previously measured with the aid of QUANT® software. Two evaluations were performed with a 48-h interval, in which the evaluators visually estimated distinct sequences of leaves. Linear regression was used to determine the accuracy and the precision of each evaluator. The proposed scale showed satisfactory results of accuracy and precision, and despite the inexperience of four evaluators, absolute errors were in the range of 8% after training. The proposed scale was adequate to estimate the severity of powdery mildew on lettuce.

RESUMO O patógeno Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum pode atacar mais de 400 espécies de plantas, como batata, soja, girassol, entre outras. Objetivou-se identificar a proporção solo:areia mais adequada para a germinação carpogênica de escleródios de S. sclerotiorum, avaliar o efeito de extratos vegetais e suas frações sobre a germinação carpogênica do patógeno e sobre plantas de feijoeiro. Para os experimentos de identificação da melhor proporção solo:areia, calculou-se a porcentagem de germinação carpogênica. Para a avaliação do efeito de extratos vegetais e frações sobre escleródios, estes foram aplicados no dia da instalação do ensaio e 30 dias após a instalação do ensaio no substrato solo:areia (1:1) infestado com escleródios. Para avaliar o efeito dos extratos vegetais e frações sobre feijoeiro, os extratos vegetais foram aplicados via pulverização sobre as plantas, aos 30 dias após a semeadura. Os escleródios apresentaram maior germinação carpogênica na proporção 1:1 e 1:2 do substrato solo:areia. Houve menor germinação carpogênica sob a fração acetato de etila de ervilhaca e fração acetato de etila de S. terebinthifolius, quando estes foram aplicados aos 30 dias após a instalação do ensaio. Os extratos não apresentaram fitotoxicidade ao feijoeiro.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT Damage to wheat crop is associated with leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of potassium phosphite and acibenzolar-S-methyl alone or associated with the fungicide epoxiconazole + pyraclostrobin on powdery mildew and leaf rust control, as well as on grain yield. The experiments were designed as randomized blocks with four replicates consisting of plots with 17 planting rows spaced at 0.17 m, with dimensions of 2.89 x 5.0 m each. Severity of powdery mildew and leaf rust was assessed in ten flag leaves and ten whole plants all over the crop season; yield was also evaluated. Severity data were used to calculate the area under the disease progress curve. There was no effect of phosphite applied alone or associated with the fungicide epoxiconazole + pyraclostrobin at different times on mildew. Acibenzolar-S-methyl controlled, on average, 70% powdery mildew. Phosphites applied alone and/or associated with the fungicide had an effect on leaf rust, reducing the severity by 59 and 62%, compared to control. Applications of phosphites alone did not affect the yield components.

ABSTRACT: This paper aim to evaluate the ultrafiltration (UF) process for constituents recovery from whey. Sequences of factorial designs were performed by varying temperature (5 to 40°C) and pressure (1 to 3 bar), to maximize the proteins concentration using membrane of 100kDa in dead end system. Based on the best result new experiments were performed with membrane of 50kDa and 10kDa. With the membrane of 50 the protein retention was about 3 times higher than the membrane of 100kDa. The concentrated obtained by UF membrane of 10kDa, 10°C and 2 bar in laboratory scale showed a mean protein retention of 80 %, greater protein solubility, emulsion stability and the identification of β-lactoglobulins (18.3 kDa) and α-lactalbumin fractions (14.2kDa). Therefore, the use of membrane of 100 and 50kDa are became a industrially recommendable alternatives to concentration of whey proteins, and/or as a previous step to the fractionation of whey constituents using membrane ≤10kDa, aiming at future applications in different areas (food, pharmaceutical, chemical, etc.).

Published: June 2018

Abstract Introduction: Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a common complication found in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is associated with increased mortality, length of hospital stay and mechanical ventilation (MV) time. Objective: To determine the incidence of VAP and its impact on the clinical course of the subject undergoing invasive MV in the ICU. Methods: This is a cohort study of hospitalized subjects in the general adult ICU of the State Hospital of Bauru / SP. The clinical information for the period of 19 months were collected. Stratification for the groups was based on the presence or absence of VAP, free_VAP and VAP, respectively. The Hotelling T² with 95% confidence, chi-square and the Mann-Whitney tests were executed using the "R" software and the results showed as mean ± standard deviation and absolute and relative distribution (p < 0.05). Results: The sample was of 322 subjects; the VAP group consisted of 73 (22.67%), 54.79% male, age: 62.31±16.96 years and the APACHE II: 29.98 ± 8.64. The VAP group had longer time of the MV and of the ICU compared to free VAP group; even in this group, the highest incidence of death in the ICU occurred between the 16th and 20th day of hospitalization. The free VAP group was older and 50% of the patients discharged from hospital. Conclusion: VAP and their interfaces still impact on the clinical evolution of the subjects mainly on the time factor of MV and ICU stay. The highest incidence of death in the ICU occurs in the first weeks.
Frontline Treatment for Older Patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Authors: Ye Haige , Desai Aakash , Zeng Dongfeng , Romaguera Jorge , Wang Michael L.
Published: June 2018

The natural history of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) undergoing chemotherapy is a cyclical pattern of remission followed by recurrence of disease due to acquired chemotherapy resistance. The median age of the occurrence of MCL is 65 years, so half of the newly diagnosed MCL patients are considered “elderly.” The tolerance to long-term chemotherapy in elderly patients is decreased; hence, the response to frontline therapy used is of paramount importance. We hope that our review may guide clinicians in treating such populations in a more personalized and evidence-based manner.

In the older patients with risk variables, frontline treatment is determined according to different body status of fit, unfit or compromised, and frail. In the fit patients, the pursuit of remission and prolongation of survival might currently justify the use of more intense and toxic therapies. For unfit or compromised older patients, disease control needs to be prioritized, maintaining a balance between the benefits and toxicities of the treatment. For frail patients, tolerance of treatment and minimizing myelotoxicity should be the primary focus. “Chemotherapy-free” regimens are likely to be considered as the first-line strategy for this population. On the other hand, in the older MCL population without risk variables, observation or “watch and wait” can prevent overtreatment. Furthermore, more clinical trials and research studies on novel agents and targeted therapies need to be translated into the general population to provide optimal treatment and to guide personalized treatment.

Implications for Practice

This review emphasizes the importance of frontline therapies for older MCL patients. MCL patients commonly experience a cyclical pattern of remission followed by recurrence of disease due to acquired chemotherapy resistance. As a special population, elderly patients have various comorbidities and decreased organ function, which may reduce the chances of undergoing treatment for recurrent disease. Thus, this older population of patients with MCL should be treated separately and exceptionally. So far, systematic reviews with regard to frontline treatment for older patients with MCL have not been encountered, but the hope is that this review may guide clinicians in treating such populations in a more personalized and evidence-based manner.
Thermodynamic stability of nanoparticles based on coordination number
Authors: Zhang Shuai , Chen Lei
Published: June 2018

A new model based on calculation of the average coordination number has been developed to predict the size-dependent melting point of nanoparticles when the size and shape are also concerned in the model. As is clear, differences in the shape of nanoparticles will result in changes in coordination number in a system, due to differences in the surface structure. The established model can reflect the influences of both size and shape; moreover, this model is free of any adjustable parameters, and is utilized to predict the thermal stability for low-dimensional materials in this work. For simplicity, the nanoparticle shape is taken to be cuboctahedral, and this is proved to be valid. This is because the theoretical predictions are consistent with experimental evidences and the results of molecular dynamic simulation for many nanoparticles of different elements. Moreover, the results also show that nanoparticles' melting thermodynamic functions are dependent on their size and their atomic diameter for a certain shape.
'VirION': Long-read, low-input, viral metagenomic sequencing; Library Preparation and MinION (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) Sequencing (lib. prep. kit SQK-LSK108; flow cell: R9.4) v4 v1
Authors: JWD Warwick-Dugdale Joanna , Temperton Ben
Published: June 2018

This protocol describes a generalizable, long-read, low-input metagenomic sequencing approach ('VirION') for the survey of viral communities. A significant obstacle in adopting long-read technology for viral metagenomics lies in obtaining the amount of DNA required; e.g. viral DNA extraction from 20 L of seawater yields far less than the micrograms of DNA recommended for efficient long-read sequencing. To overcome this limitation, we developed a Long-Read Linker-Amplified Shotgun Library approach for long-read viral metagenomics. The VirION method has been demonstrated to be as relatively quantitative as short-read methods, and analyses that combined VirION long-read data with Illumina, short-read data, captured many abundant and ubiquitous viral genomes that were missed by short-read assemblies. This approach was also shown to have overcome issues of microdiversity, and to have captured more genomic islands than short-read assemblies. Thus, VirION provides a high throughput and cost-effective alternative to fosmid and single-virus genomic approaches.
The praxis of digital literacy in the EFL classroom: Digital-immigrant vs digital-native teacher
Authors: Kurniawati Nia , Maolida Elis Homsini , Anjaniputra Agung Ginanjar
Published: June 2018

Myriads of theories account for the primacy of digital literacy on ELT as the demand of the 21st century, yet studies on digital media literacy of distinct English teacher generations are thin on the ground. Thus, this descriptive qualitative study investigated the utilization of digital literacy in the EFL classroom of senior high school teachers from two generations (digital immigrant and digital native) and their students’ responses to the use of digital media in the English classroom in Indonesia. Three instruments were utilized including classroom observations, questionnaires, and interviews. Following ACOT’s (Apple Classroom of Tomorrow) framework, the findings show that both teachers were at the adaptation stage in terms of digital literacy and this was reflected on the utilization of digital media in assisting students’ learning. Yet, the digital-immigrant teacher appeared to be practically more adept in the implementation of digital media. As for the second issue, the students responded positively to the use of digital technology by the teachers to make English class more fun and comprehensible. However, when it comes to an ideal teacher, the students still considered good characters as the main criteria for an ideal teacher. Technology does support teachers in delivering the materials, but the way they behave and treat the students still also plays crucial part in maintaining a good relationship between teachers and students. The results show that the English teachers need to develop their digital literacy to keep up with the current demand to be professional English teachers in the digital era.
Qualitative data for examining fixed and incremental concepts of language learning: A search for the stories behind students’ motivation
Authors: Burns Laura V. Fielden , García Mercedes Rico
Published: June 2018

Although quantitative tools are often employed to examine students’ beliefs in language learning, qualitative interviews can offer further depth and insight on these beliefs, by shedding light on the detail of the experiences behind student perceptions. This is important to understanding student motivation in the language classroom, since beliefs form one of the important pillars behind motivation and language learning goals. The present study analyzed beliefs for 8 students in English for Hospitality vocational courses (2 male and 6 female from 25 to 43 years of age) in one-to-one, narrative interviews, looking both to the content of what students chose to share and the form in which they expressed themselves. This population is particularly interesting given that other studies in vocational studies indicate a lack of study persistence due to problems in motivation. Utilizing this qualitative, open-ended approach allowed the authors to more specifically examine how students conceive language learning when understood as a story of their experience with languages. The rich descriptions that emerge from this methodology have been imported for future curriculum planning, as they describe in more detail students’ tendencies to categorize language learning as something passive or active, as an object or as a process, which should be taken into account in course planning to optimize study persistence.
Processing instruction: Learning complex grammar and writing accuracy through structured input activities
Authors: Modirkhamene Sima , Pouyan Aram , Alavinia Parviz
Published: June 2018

Aimed to change the way input is perceived and processed, processing instruction (PI) tends to help learners focus on particular grammatical forms and alter their inappropriate processing problems so that they make a better form-meaning connection. As an attempt to extend the existing research on the use of PI, the present study was carried out to examine 40 elementary EFL learners’ grammatical achievement having been exposed to PI-based structured input activities. Two groups of learners, namely, PI (n = 20) and traditional instruction (TI, n= 20) were instructed the simple past tense –ed using PI-guided structured input activities and the conventional deductive method, respectively. Findings obtained from a set of interpretation and production tasks in pre- and post-test stages (immediate and delayed) revealed the superiority of the PI group both in the short term and the long run when compared to their peers instructed through the conventional deductive approach. Furthermore, within-group comparisons revealed some variation in participants’ performance in interpretation vs. production tasks. The discrepant findings in the production against interpretation tasks were also confirmed by what we obtained from the attitude survey; indicating that although the learners appreciated the effective role of PI in their results of attitude survey, confirming learners’ appreciation of the effective role of PI in their comprehension of the target structure, they were not very positive to the production tasks. It is concluded that different stages of comprehension and production in second language development, reflected as the general proficiency of the learners, potentially differ in terms of drawing learners’ attention to target structures more specifically when the tasks (e.g., production) are more cognitively demanding.
Thinking critically while storytelling: Improving children’s HOTS and English oral competence
Authors: Setyarini Sri , Muslim Ahmad Bukhori , Rukmini Dwi , Yuliasri Issy , Mujianto Yanuarius
Published: June 2018

Although studies on the development of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) as part of Bloom’s revised taxonomy have grown significantly among adult learners, little is known about its use for teaching English to young learners. In the Indonesian context, HOTS is mandated by the scientific-based 2013 national curriculum. This study investigates the development of HOTS strategies and possible challenges through storytelling among seventh grade students to improve their speaking ability. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) obtains data from classroom observations, interviews with the teachers and students, and analysis of lesson plans. The findings reveal that, in its simple form, HOTS in storytelling was developed in young English learners through open-ended question, a strategy which enables students to practice speaking through giving opinion, comment, and imagination while analyzing and evaluating the story. However, due to their limited language competence and unfamiliarity with the story context, students still find difficulties in creating their own stories, the highest level of educational objective. The study finally comes up with ways to engage students in storytelling while developing their HOTS.
'Tudo em família com a Paz do Senhor' – certa vez, no Estádio Salazar
Authors: Cornelsen Elcio Loureiro
Published: June 2018

Nossa contribuição visa a refletir sobre a relação entre futebol e política a partir da análise de três crônicas esportivas publicadas no Jornal dos Sports, em 01 de julho de 1968, no contexto da partida amistosa envolvendo a Seleção Brasileira e a Seleção Portuguesa, que celebrou a inauguração do Estádio Salazar, em Lourenço Marques (atual Maputo), então capital de Moçambique sob o domínio colonial ultramarino. Nosso corpus de análise é formado pelas seguintes crônicas: “Tudo em família com a Paz do Senhor”, de Zé de São Januário; “O melhor futebol do mundo”, de Nelson Rodrigues; “Uma forra gostosa”, de Jocelyn Brasil. A polifonia produzida por essas crônicas revela que o futebol, para além do campo esportivo, nem sempre está alheio ao contexto político.

With the development of computer technology and network communication technology and multimedia technology,database technology has become an important technical means and software technology for organizing and managinglarge amount of data in information society. It is the foundation of network information management system. Itnot only has a complete theoretical basis, and with the rapid development of hardware technology and softwaretechnology, its application is more and more widely. However, the rapid development of information technology isthat people face such a situation: CAD / CAM, CIMS, CASE, GIS and other applications require the managementof increasingly complex information, such as multimedia data, such as multimedia data, spatial data, scientifi c data,Data and other data types, these data compared with the traditional type, not only the type of complex, diverse forms,and storage, transmission, operation and retrieval methods also have many new features, new requirements, on theone hand, the need for database technology and database systems To manage these complex data in order to obtainthe database system has many of the data management functions, such as query, retrieval, recovery, concurrencycontrol, integrity, storage management. On the other hand, due to the vigorous development of network technology,information processing has long been from a single user environment to the development of the network environment,this environment for resources, information sharing provides a great convenience, and because of multi-machine worktogether to greatly improve the work , The combination of the two requires that the database management system beable to manage complex data objects in a networked environment or heterogeneous environment. Traditional DBMSscannot eff ectively handle complex multimedia data, thus requiring the use of new multimedia indexing and retrievaltechniques. Multimedia database technology is an important part of computer technology, it can simultaneously acquire,process, edit, store and display text, sound, video, graphics and other diff erent media, while it has diversity, integrationand interactivity and so on. Only to solve the key technical issues of multimedia, can be widely used to promote itsfaster development.

To solve the problems of internal and external disturbances caused by mechanical wear, electrical aging and complex road conditions, a practical and robust pinch detection algorithm is proposed for the anti-pinch control systems of the car’s sunroof. The proposed algorithm makes use of grey theory to predict and compensate the uncertain disturbances. To detect electric sunroof pinch state, a kind of torque rate is selected as the observation state due to the less sensitivity of the torque rate to the uncertainty of the motor’s parameters and supply voltage than the torque or the angular speed. The torque rate is obtained by using angular velocity measurements calculated from the Hall sensor output. To detect the pinched condition, a systematic way to determine the threshold level of the torque rate estimation is also suggested. The experimental results show that our method meets the requirements of European Directive 74/60/ECC, China GB 11552-2009 and America Directive FMVSSll8，and has excellent performances in detecting car’s electric sunroof pinch state.

Physical stimulations such as magnetic, electric and mechanical stimulation could enhance cell activity and promote bone formation in bone repair process via activating signal pathways, modulating ion channels, regulating bonerelated gene expressions, etc. In this paper, bioeffects of physical stimulations on cell activity, tissue growth and bone healing were systematically summarized, which especially focused on their osteogenesis-inducing mechanisms. Detailedly, magnetic stimulation could produce Hall effect which improved the permeability of cell membrane and promoted the migration of ions, especially accelerating the extracellular calcium ions to pass through cell membrane. Electric stimulation could induce inverse piezoelectric effect which generated electric signals, accordingly up-regulating intracellular calcium levels and growth factor synthesis. And mechanical stimulation could produce mechanical signals which were converted into corresponding biochemical signals, thus activating various signaling pathways on cell membrane and inducing a series of gene expressions. Besides, bioeffects of physical stimulations combined with bone scaffolds which fabricated using 3D printing technology on bone cells were discussed. The equipments of physical stimulation system were described. The opportunities and challenges of physical stimulations were also presented from the perspective of bone repair.

“No research without trained researchers” has become the mantra of the EU-funded Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) education and training projects. However, it is often hard to determine the type of training required at different stages of a scientist’s career. The situation is further complicated by the constantly changing environment, e.g. the growth of disruptive technologies, societal expectations of biomedical sciences, the greater need for multi-disciplinary collaborations, and conservative or changing regulatory requirements. This article summarises the experience from a series of five EMTRAIN Public Private Partnership PhD workshops that included both scientific and transferrable skill training. This is followed by an example of a recently developed training programme, including a competency profile, for translational research and medicines development; the C-COMEND teaching programme. The emphasis is on competencies as a new currency for continuing professional development. Finally, this paper describes what we consider to be the next steps required by the scientific community to address solutions to the current training challenges so that society can benefit from the innovations that only science can provide.
