Consumiendo desde el consenso. Una exploración sobre el proceso de trabajo y la política
Authors: Avaro Dante
Published: September 2019

Este trabajo parte de un viejo problema no resuelto: cómo compatibilizar la ciudadanía política con nuestro rol de agentes económicos. Durante mucho tiempo se creyó que el proceso de trabajo que tomaba a los individuos como agentes económicos era una condición suficiente y al mismo tiempo necesaria para producir una sociedad política integrada. Esto es lo que hemos conocido como consenso fabril regulado y administrado por el Estado. De este modo las sociedades habían colocado al proceso de trabajo como el canal vinculante entre la integración social y la ciudadanía política. Sin embargo, la pérdida de centralidad del proceso de trabajo es un factum que este ensayo trata de mostrar. Así, las paradojas que se construyen intentan reformular la pregunta inicial en un contexto de desempleo y para una sociedad que se esfuerza por disminuir el tiempo laboral. Acorde con esto, se sugiere plantear una política pública que, partiendo de la pérdida de centralidad del trabajo, construya un consenso basado en el consumo sin tener en cuenta la condicional restricción del empleo.
Las ciencias sociales: convergencias disciplinarias y conocimiento de fronteras. El caso de la sociología
Authors: Manzanos Bilbao César
Published: September 2019

En este artículo el autor aborda los criterios que otorgan validez a la realidad social, mismos que constituyen uno de los núcleos del debate epistemológico contemporáneo de la sociología. A lo largo de su trabajo, el autor se plantea las siguientes preguntas, las cuales se tornan el eje de su reflexión: ¿quiénes construyen la realidad social?; ¿cuáles son las definiciones dominantes?;¿cómo se materializan, universalizan y moldean las definiciones elevadas al rango de científicas y las formas de organización e interacción social establecidas y normalizadas? Al contrastar los puntos de vista de diversos autores y de una sólida argumentación, el autor da cuenta de nuevas claves estructurales que podrían orientar a los futuros modelos de organizaciónen el ámbito de las transformaciones sociales mediante novedosas formas de consenso.

Participación política, partidos y nuevos movimientos sociales
Authors: Oñate Pablo
Published: September 2019

En estas páginas se presenta un recorrido por diversas cuestiones relacionadas con la participación y la representación políticas en los sistemas políticos contemporáneos, tratando de recoger las aportaciones clásicas así como las más recientes que puedan resultar relevantes para la reflexión sobre la evolución de los modos y los mecanismos a disposición de los ciudadanos para integrar, articular, canalizar, movilizar y representar su participación política. La conclusión es un esperanzador saludo a las nuevas formas y mecanismos de participación diferenciados, así como a la diversificación de espacios y ámbitos para la acción política, cuya concurrencia no supone un cuestionamiento ni un riesgo para los sistemas democráticos representativos, sino, más bien, un elemento para desosificar sus estructuras y fluidificar su sabia democrática.

The Dynamics of Sasi Laut Practices amidst Local Economic and Political Transformations
Authors: Satria Arif , Mony Ahmad
Published: September 2019

This study aims to explain the impact of socio-economic transformation, local political dynamics, and external pressures on the practice of sasi laut in Noloth Village. Data obtained using in-depth interview techniques, literature studies, and observations. The analysis and discussion is done descriptively. The results showed that there were three main things that influenced the practice of sasi laut, namely: the integration of valuable fishery products such as lola, sea cucumbers, and lobsters into the market system had changed the institution of sasi laut from the traditional system to the auction mechanism to the capital owners. While the sustainability of valuable coastal resources is threatened under transfer rights to capital owners who have unlimited resource use motives. On the other hand, sasi laut is under local political pressure between the village elite to take economic benefits. In the end, the practice of sasi laut in Noloth Village has experienced a shift in values from cultural contexts to economic reasoning through the integration of fisheries commodities into the market system. The impact of the transformation of sasi laut practices into its own discourse is related to two fundamental questions of indigenous community-based resource management, namely strengthening traditions and conservation of coastal resources.

Authors: Sreco-Zelenovic Bojana , Kekezovic Sladjana , Popsavin Mirjana , Kojic Vesna , Benedekovic Goran , Popsavin Velimir
Published: September 2019

Divergent syntheses of novel (?)-goniofufurone mimics with an alkoxymethyl group as the side chain have been accomplished from D-glucose in nine synthetic steps and in overall yields 6.7?8.7 %. Their in vitro antiproliferative activity was evaluated against eight human tumour cell lines as well as a single normal cell line. All analogues demonstrated powerful to good antiproliferative effects toward all malignant cell lines under evaluation. Against the HL-60 cell line, all mimics showed increased activities being 27- to 1604-fold more potent than the lead compound, (?)-goniofufurone. Remarkably, the majority of synthesized analogues displayed higher or similar activity to the commercial antitumour agent doxorubicin (DOX) against A549 cell line. The most potent compound exhibited 196-fold stronger cytotoxicity than DOX in the culture of this cell line.

Authors: Partohaghighi Mohammad , Ink Mustafa , Baleanu Dumitru , Moshoko Seithuti
Published: September 2019

In this work a poweful approach is presented to solve the time-fractional gas dynamics equation. In fact, we use a fictitious time variable y to convert the dependent variable w(x, t) into a new one with one more dimension. Then by taking a initial guess and implementing the group preserving scheme we solve the problem. Finally four examples are solved to illustrate the power of the offered method.

OBJECTIVE

We sought to determine the prevalence of diabetes and associated cardiovascular outcomes in a contemporary cohort of young individuals presenting with their first myocardial infarction (MI) at age ≤50 years.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We retrospectively analyzed records of patients presenting with a first type 1 MI at age ≤50 years from 2000 to 2016. Diabetes was defined as a hemoglobin A1c ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or a documented diagnosis of or treatment for diabetes. Vital status was ascertained for all patients, and cause of death was adjudicated.

RESULTS

Among 2,097 young patients who had a type 1 MI (mean age 44.0 ± 5.1 years, 19.3% female, 73% white), diabetes was present in 416 (20%), of whom 172 (41%) were receiving insulin. Over a median follow-up of 11.2 years (interquartile range 7.3–14.2 years), diabetes was associated with a higher all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 2.30; P < 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (2.68; P < 0.001). These associations persisted after adjusting for baseline covariates (all-cause mortality: 1.65; P = 0.008; cardiovascular mortality: 2.10; P = 0.004).

CONCLUSIONS

Diabetes was present in 20% of patients who presented with their first MI at age ≤50 years and was associated with worse long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. These findings highlight the need for implementing more aggressive therapies aimed at preventing future adverse cardiovascular events in this population.

ABSTRACTMany studies have been carried out, mainly in the last decades, to understand the normal and pathological process of aging in the different areas of knowledge. However, many gaps still remain in the progress of science. In this sense, the overall objective of the present study was to evaluate the comparison between the performance of congruent elderly people in Brazil and Finland. The study method had a quantitative, descriptive cross - sectional design. The sample consisted of 194 subjects of both sexes, aged between 60 and 79 years, residing in the municipality of Ivoti / Rio Grande do Sul / Brazil and 93 subjects, both genders aged 65 to 85 years residing in Riihimäki / Finland. The instrument used was the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Data were analyzed statistically in SPSS version 25.0 through descriptive analysis of frequency and comparison of means by the Mann Whitney test (p≤0.05). The results showed that the cognitive performance of elderly people in the Ivoti group was significantly higher than those of Riihimäki. It can be concluded that cultural variables influenced outcomes, such as experiences in the early stages of human development and current interpersonal relationships.Keywords: Cognitive performance.

Authors: Leca Antoine
Published: September 2019

This article examines the doctrine of Droit des Patients (patients’ rights) in metropolitan France, outlines the historical development of the doctrine, and places it in its modern context. After discussing the emergence of patients' rights, Professor Leca canvasses the various threads ofreasoning that have contributed to these rights as they are expressed in the 21st century. He covers the development of public health and access to health-care ideas that dominated the area until the20th century, and the modern influences of ideas on the dignity of the person and consumer rights that have contributed to the current legal status of the rights of the patient.
The Political Unity of Europe: A Dream or a Reality in the Making?
Authors: Patrono Mario
Published: September 2019

The political unity of Europe is something that most people today see as purely hypothetical, or at the very least, remote: the future appearance on the world stage of a Europe unified politically as well as economically; a Europe that will at last have become a unitary political entity. Many (but not the author) exclude it from the ambit of current political possibility. For some, it is desirable; for others, frightening. This paper considers the "when", and the "if", of European unification – questions to which the eventual coming into force of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, the text of which was agreed toon 18 June 2004, does not provide an answer.
Freedom of Expression and International Criminal Law: An Analysis of The Decision to Create a Testimonial Privilege for Journalists
Authors: Buchanan Kelly
Published: September 2019

In a recent decision, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia recognised a qualified privilege for war correspondents in setting out a test that the party requesting its testimony must overcome in order for the Trial Chamber to issue a subpoena. This article examines the decision and the test by comparing it to the approaches of other jurisdictions and any general principles of law that arise therefrom. It also considers whether the decision is consistent with the internationally recognised rights of freedom of expression and to a fair trial. It argues that the international tribunals should take all of these sources of law into account in formulating rules of procedure and evidence, but should also give particular regard to the purposes of international criminal justice, which relate to furthering the establishment of peace.In this context it is argued that the interests of the international criminal justice system are best served by the creation of a distinct procedural framework that contains clear and principled rules. The Appeals Chamber's formulation of a journalistic privilege not only advances this goal, but also recognises that the ability of war correspondents to report on conflicts is vitally important to the international community, including the international courts themselves. The potential impact on this ability arising from the work of the courts necessitates special consideration and a degree of protection for this group.
Mental Distress Damages for Breach of Contract
Authors: Holmes Renee
Published: September 2019

The common law has long held that damages for the mental distress suffered after a breach of contract are unrecoverable. Like all rules, a range of exceptions has developed to mitigate the severity of this rule. In this article the author argues that both the rule and its exceptions, being based neither in principle nor sound policy, have only created confusion in the law. The decision of the House of Lords in Farley v Skinner is analysed as a possible solution to this confusion, but is found to be unhelpful. The author concludes by calling for a principled revision of this area of the law in accordance with the usual principles of damages.

Reassessing the Links with Health and the Welfare State
Authors: St John Susan
Published: September 2019

The author provides a summary of an Accident Compensation conference. Two main ACC themes are provided: the distinction between disability from accident and disability from illness, and the boundary between work and non-work injuries. The author reminds the reader of the social contract found in the original Woodhouse Report. She argues that she does not see the welfare state withering away – rather, the need for it, and its social insurance aspects, become even more crucial in light of new complex risks.
Advancing in Employment: The Way Forward for Vocational Rehabilitation
Authors: Duncan Grant
Published: September 2019

While the Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Act 2001 reestablishes the ACC scheme on firmer foundations, there are still unanswered questions regarding the rights of individuals with permanent partial disability involving an incapacity for their previous occupation. While the existing entitlements appear to work well for the majority of injured workers, the basic goals set by legislation for vocational rehabilitation still allow the termination of support to be based upon a capacity for any suitable occupation, regardless of the availability of actual employment. No regard needs be given to claimants' longterm skill development or earning potential, let alone to their aspirations to advance themselves in employment. We do not yet fully understand what effect the present vocational rehabilitation provisions are having on claimants' incomes and sustainable employment. In a policy environment that stresses the need for a highskill, highproductivity economy, and that seeks not to widen social inequalities, the present rehabilitation goals seem inconsistent. Further, it will be shown that they do not meet International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards.
Ending Fault in Accident Compensation: Issues and Lessons from Medical Misadventure
Authors: Easton Brian
Published: September 2019

This paper suggests that emphasising prevention and rehabilitation are the key directions that the ACC system should move in the future. Compensation should be phased out in favour of rehabilitation as the primary means of remediation. Additionally the author recommends removing inequity in the system by phasing out accidents as the basis for entitlement and replacing it with an entitlement regime based on injury outcomes. This discussion is located within the context of the treatment of medical misadventure under the ACC system.
The Australian Picture
Authors: Luntz Harold
Published: September 2019

Australia faces a climate of change with accident compensation following recent high profile personal injury cases, the collapse of two major health insurers, and the release of the Ipp Committee Report. This paper follows Australia's response to these developments, focusing on New South Wales' initial reform of tort law, and suggests that the current and proposed changes may cause more harm to an already fragile system.
The Future of Community Responsibility
Authors: Palmer Geoffrey
Published: September 2019

This paper considers the future of community responsibility – the central philosophical principle of the 1967 Report of the Royal Commission concerning compensation for personal injury in New Zealand (the Woodhouse Report). Central to the Report was the advancement of earnings-related benefits free of all income or means test. Community responsibility was developed by the Royal Commission as the entire basis and principle for its recommendations. This principle has been traced to international instruments like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Australian Woodhouse report proposed a similar version of the principle but the response in the two countries differed. In Australia it was argued that collective responsibility would be the death of individualism whereas in New Zealand the principle was never really attacked and was not seen as alien to the country's culture. A problem with the notion of community responsibility in both reports is that it is difficult to see how to limit it. In New Zealand the responsibility was restricted to injuries and not extended to sickness, which creates glaring social inequalities and discrimination. However it seems unlikely that this situation will change in the immediate future because of the lack of public disquiet about the issue. In the future, policy in the area may be affected by human rights norms which conflict with the current situation where eligibility for support is based on the manner in which the disability was acquired.

A Hybrid of Artificial Neural Networks and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Inverse Modeling of Leakage in Earth Dams
Authors: VaeziNejad SeyedMahmood , Marandi SeyedMorteza , Salajegheh Eysa
Published: September 2019

A new intelligent hybrid method for inverse modeling (Parameter Identification) of leakage from the body and foundation of earth dams considering transient flow model has been presented in this paper. The main objective is to determine the permeability in different parts of the dams using observation data. An objective function which concurrently employs time series of hydraulic heads and flow rates observations has been defined to overcome the ill-posedness issue (nonuniqueness and instability of the identified parameters). A finite element model which considers all construction phases of an earth dam has been generated and then orthogonal design, back propagation artificial neural network and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm has been used simultaneously to perform inverse modeling. The suggested method has been used for inverse modeling of seepage in Baft dam in Kerman, Iran as a case study. Permeability coefficients of different parts of the dam have been inspected for three distinct predefined cases and in all three cases excellent results have been attained. The highly fitting results confirm the applicability of the recommended procedure in the inverse modeling of real large-scale problems to find the origin of leakage channels which not only reduces the calculation cost but also raises the consistency and efficacy in such problems.

miRNAs as Regulators of Antidiabetic Effects of Fucoidans
Authors: Zhao Chao , Lai Shanshan , Wu Desheng , Liu Dan , Zou Xiaobo , Ismail Amin , El‐Seedi Hesham , Arroo Randolph R.J. , Xiao Jianbo
Published: September 2019

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with a high mortality rate worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), and other small noncoding RNAs, serve as endogenous gene regulators through binding to specific sequences in RNA and modifying gene expression toward up‐ or down‐regulation. miRNAs have become compelling therapeutic targets and play crucial roles in regulating the process of insulin resistance. Fucoidan has shown potential function as an α‐amylase inhibitor, which may be beneficial in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In recent years, many studies on fucoidan focused on the decrease in blood glucose levels caused by ingesting low‐glucose food or glucose‐lowering components. However, the importance of miRNAs as regulators of antidiabetic effects was rarely recognized. Hence, this review emphasizes the antidiabetic mechanisms of fucoidan through regulation of miRNAs. Fucoidan exerts a vital antidiabetic effect by regulation of miRNA expression and thus provides a novel biological target for future research.

Anatomía y análisis cualitativo de saponinas, resinas y aceites en los órganos de Pascalia glauca (Asteraceae)
Authors: Hernández Marcelo P. , Arambarri Ana M.
Published: September 2019

Introducción y objetivos: Pascalia glauca es una maleza tóxica para el ganado, con amplia distribución en la Argentina. La toxicidad es producida por un atractilósido, pero la especie también contiene compuestos como las saponinas, resinas y aceites con propiedades tóxicas. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: 1- realizar un análisis cualitativo de saponinas en los órganos subterráneos (rizomas + raíces) y aéreos durante las cuatro estaciones del año; 2- estudiar la anatomía de los órganos vegetativos y reproductivos en busca de estructuras secretoras; 3- identificar resinas y aceites mediante pruebas histoquímicas. M&M: En cada estación de los años 2016-2017 se recolectaron plantas completas. Este material se usó para estudiar la anatomía mediante técnicas convencionales; determinar saponinas e identificar resinas y aceites mediante pruebas histoquímicas. Resultados: Las saponinas se encontraron en todos los órganos en escasa cantidad y su contenido mostró variabilidad con la estación del año, resultado que se expresa en función de los valores medios de temperatura y lluvias. Los conductos secretores con resinas y aceites se localizaron en los rizomas, tallos, hojas e inflorescencias, excepto en la raíz. Conclusiones: De acuerdo con los resultados, todos estos compuestos actúan como tóxicos durante todo el año pero principalmente en primavera y se incrementa en el período de verano-otoño por la abundancia de aceites esenciales en las inflorescencias, característica que además la indicaría como una especie promisoria para su utilización en el control de plagas agrícolas.
Curiosity or savouring? Information seeking is modulated by both uncertainty and valence.
Authors: van Lieshout Lieke , Traast Iris , de Lange Floris , Cools Roshan
Published: September 2019

Curiosity is pervasive in our everyday lives, but little is known about its underlying mechanisms. In the current study, we assessed whether curiosity about uncertain outcomes is modulated by the valence of the information, i.e. whether the information is good or bad news. Using a lottery task in which outcome uncertainty, expected value and outcome valence (gain versus loss) were manipulated independently, we found that curiosity is overall higher for gains compared with losses. Surprisingly, curiosity increased with increasing outcome uncertainty for both gains and losses, contradicting models that posit that humans seek positive and avoid negative information. Curiosity thus follows from multiple drives, including a drive to improve our world model, as well as, separately, a drive to maximize positive information.

Published: September 2019

Aims: Across three eye-tracking studies, we examined how the location, framing, immediacy, and severity of health warnings on branded cigarette packs affected visual attention and self-reported avoidance of and reactance to warnings. Design: Study 1: smoking status × warning immediacy (short-term vs. long-term) × warning location (top of back vs. bottom of pack). Study 2: smoking status × warning framing (gain-framed vs. loss-framed) × warning format (text-only vs. pictorial). Study 3: smoking status × warning severity (highly-severe vs. moderately-severe). Setting: University of Bristol, UK, eye-tracking laboratory. Participants Study 1: non-smokers (n=25), weekly smokers (n=25), and daily smokers (n=25). Study 2: non-smokers (n=37), smokers contemplating quitting (n=37) and smokers not contemplating quitting (n=43). Study 3: non-smokers (n=27), weekly smokers (n=26) and daily smokers (n=26). Measurements: For all studies: relative number of fixations to the warning vs. the brand, self-reported avoidance of and reactance to warnings and for Study 3: effect of warning on quitting motivation. Findings: Study 1: Greater self-reported avoidance (p<0.001) and greater visual attention (p=0.03) to long-term warnings, but no difference for reactance (p=0.12). Increased visual attention to warnings on the upper- versus lower-half of the pack (p=0.02). Study 2: Higher self-reported avoidance of (p<0.001) and reactance to (p<0.001) loss-framed warnings but little evidence of a difference for visual attention (p=0.30). Greater visual attention, avoidance and reactance to pictorial versus text-only warnings (all ps>0.001). Study 3: Greater self-reported avoidance of (p<0.001) and reactance (p=0.003) to highly-severe warnings but no clear difference in visual attention (p=0.24). Conclusions: Subjective (self-report) and objective (eye-tracking) measures of warning avoidance produced different outcomes, suggesting these capture different constructs. Visual avoidance of warnings indicates low-level disengagement with warnings, while self-reported avoidance reflects higher-level cognitive awareness and engagement with warnings. We suggest that loss-framed, long-term, highly-severe images are likely to be most effective in communicating harm.
Why We Need Open Science Communication Experts

The changing open science landscape leads to new requirements and expectations in terms of dissemination, communication and outreach. With the increasing importance of micro blogging, social media and other interactive Web 2.0 channels for communicating research outcomes to target audiences outside academia, pressure on researchers to apply more marketing-oriented communication strategies and produce related content increases. In this paper we discuss how research dissemination and communication as well as the roles of researchers and science communicators are transforming in an open science context. We argue that the introduction of new science communication roles and positions is necessary to solve current gaps in public science communication.

A protocol is developed for somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis from nodal segments and shoot-apices of Moringa oleifera Lam. Callusing and multiple shoots induction occurred in nodal segments (0.5-1.0 cm) after 2 weeks of culture on Woody Plant Medium, 1981 (WPM) containing N6-benzyladenine (BA), alone or in combinations with various concentrations of á-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The concentration of BA at 4.44 μM was found optimum for multiple shoots formation, resulting in 3.22 ± 0.17 shoots per explants. WPM was enriched by adding certain additives to minimize yellowing and shedding of leaves in proliferated shoots. Maximum roots induction (86.6%) was observed in enriched WPM containing 2.46 μM IBA. Somatic embryos were developed from the calli obtained from nodal segments on enriched WPM supplemented with IBA and BA. Histological studies were carried out for studying the pattern of somatic embryogenesis. Multiple shoots formed from shoot apices (1.0-1.5 cm) cultured on enriched WPM (with or without IBA) after 2 weeks of culture. Root induction occurred simultaneously. The regenerated plantlets were gradually transferred to half strength and later to quarter strength liquid WPM, for 10 days, before transferring to pots. Approximately, 70% survival rate was recorded from in vitro grown plantlets on transfer to pots. Somatic embryogenesis in M. oleifera from nodal explants is reported for the first time in this communication.

The present study was carried out to evaluate eight promising Spanish bunch groundnut genotypes during four consecutive year (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) to study genotype × environmental interactions and to identify stable sources of fresh seed dormancy in Spanish background in groundnut. Pooled analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes and genotype × environmental interactions for fresh seed dormancy at weekly intervals indicating that differential behavior of genotypes for fresh seed dormancy over the environmental conditions. Based on the results of intensity and duration of dormancy and germination stability index, identified four stable advanced breeding lines viz., PBS 12192, PBS 12187, PBS 12191 and PBS 12190 having high fresh seed dormancy of three week and two stable advanced breeding lines viz., PBS 12189 and PBS 12171 having high fresh seed dormancy of two week. Therefore, these genotypes can be used as novel genetic stock of fresh seed dormancy in Spanish bunch and they can be integrated into breeding programs to develop high yielding Spanish bunch cultivars with 2-3 weeks of fresh seed dormancy to avoid yield losses due to in-situ germination at the time of crop maturity.

Published: September 2019

In this paper, a 23 factorial design analysis was used to study the parameters affecting the mechanical characteristics of polypropylene/linear low-density polyethylene/nano-titanium dioxide (PP/LLDPE/TiO2) nanocomposites, and to optimize these factors in order to predict the maximum ultimate tensile strength (UTS), elastic modulus (EM), and yield strength (YS) simultaneously. To do this, two levels of nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) as the coupling agent were selected and eight experiments were conducted for every response. The most effective factors influencing the UTS, EM, and YS were found, and acceptable prediction regression models were taken. One noted that nanoparticles increased the elastic modulus. The attendance of high levels of LLDPE and SEBS resulted in a decrease in YS and UTS. Moreover, the optimum values of variables were determined by using the contour plot.
Power regulation by couple half wave LPWM rectifier at three-phase loads
Authors: Can Erol
Published: September 2019

The paper presents an application of power control by couple half wave LPWM rectifiers processing at the energy distribution line. The switching method with the components of semiconductor for alternating energy control in the energy distribution line is used on alternating energy sources. In three-phase power line and load, power control and regulation are done with the proposed modulation correction index (MCI). Therefore, the simulation model of 3-phase energy distribution is established after the relationships between the energy sources and the circuit elements are determined by the circuit analysis method. The controls of the current and the voltage are done by trying at the different loads in the line at the simulation. According to the modulation correction index (MCI), currents of unbalanced loads are balanced by the proposed method on the power line. Then, the balance currents and powers that MCI provides are calculated. Finally, a power line of 15 km at length that is created by connecting the model of RLC is tested. Obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The main goal of the research is to identify the degree of influence of the asymmetry of the resistance forces on the rolling wheels of a trolley designed to relocate the picker in the strawberry garden plantation when hand picking berries on the stability of its straight-line movement. The theoretical hypothesis was formulated in relation to a three-wheeled cart, the front wheel of which is controllable and located in the central aisle, and the rear wheels - in two adjacent wheels. According to the results of calculations, with such an arrangement of the cart, ensuring the straightness of its movement only by varying the position of the reference point for the collector's leg when it is pushed away from the aisle surface is already difficult with a twofold increase in the resistance to rolling for one of the wheels. As a result of an experimental three-wheeled trolley test, it was found that when using wheels from a 700-mm diameter bike and its additional loading with ballast weighing 704,6 N, simulating the average weight of the picker, the triple difference between the wheel rolling forces occurs when an additional obstacle appears in front of one of they are only 13 mm high. When raising the height of an additional obstacle to 45 mm, the degree of differentiation between the forces of resistance to rolling wheels increased to 8,3 times. In this regard, it is advisable to supply the trolley with a device for additional manual adjustment of the process of its straight-line movement along the rows. In the experimental version of the trolley for this purpose, a lever was mounted on the axis of rotation of the front wheel fork, the free end of which was brought into a zone convenient for access by the assembler’s left hand.
