Published: September 2017

El objetivo de este estudio fue describir y evaluar la relación entre las prácticas tecnológicas de manejo de hatos de bovinos de doble propósito y su productividad. Además de su asociación con las diferentes épocas del año. Para esto se analizaron los registros mensuales de las prácticas tecnológicas y variables productivas de treinta unidades de producción de los estados de Tabasco, Chiapas y Sinaloa durante un año. Mediante la técnica de Correlaciones Canónicas se estimó la relación entre las prácticas tecnológicas: suplementación, sanidad, prevención y control de enfermedades y manejo de praderas (X) con variables productivas: producción de leche, porcentaje de vacas en ordeño y número de crías (Y). El análisis de correspondencia midió la asociación del uso de las prácticas tecnológicas y la época del año. Los resultados mostraron tres correlaciones canónicas, la primera fue de 3.33 y significativa, con una variabilidad observada del 89% y las prácticas tecnológicas que mejor explican las variables productivas son la suplementación, sanidad, prevención y control de enfermedades. El análisis de correspondencia mostró que los productores de Tabasco y Chiapas varían las prácticas tecnológicas de manejo del hato de acuerdo a la época de año (lluvia, seca y transición) mientras los productores de Sinaloa las realizan durante todo el año. El uso de las prácticas tecnológicas en las unidades de producción influye en las variables productivas, principalmente en la producción de leche.
Characterization of a supported ionic liquid membrane used for the removal of cyanide from wastewater
Authors: Xue Juan Qin , Liu Ni Na , Li Guo Ping , Dang Long Tao
Published: September 2017

This work evaluated the performance of ionic liquids (ILs) in supported liquid membranes in the removal of total cyanide from wastewater. Membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements to study the membrane morphology and wetting ability. In particular, the effects of operational parameters such as membrane immersion time, feed-phase concentration, and pH on cyanide removal were investigated. ILs are organic salts that are entirely composed of organic cations and either organic or inorganic anions. Since their vapor pressure is negligible, they can be handled easily; this characteristic gives rise to their ‘green’ nature. In this study, a hydrophobic IL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim]PF6), was immobilized in the pores of a solid polymeric support made of polyvinylidene fluoride. The optimal conditions were as follows: 1 hour membrane immersion time, 312.24 mg/L feed-phase concentration, a feed-phase pH of 4, 3% NaOH solution, and 1 hour stirring time. The cyanide removal was 95.31%. The treatment of cyanide using supported ionic liquid membrane (SILM) technology is a method with potential applications in industry.

DIÁRIOS VIRTUAIS DOS SERVOS DO SENHOR: a virilidade em perfis de padres midiáticos no Instagram
Authors: Santos Vieira de Jesus Diego
Published: September 2017

O objetivo é examinar as representações de virilidade nos perfis dos padres Marcelo Rossi e Fábio de Melo no Instagram. O argumento central sustenta que, apesar das diferenças em termos de linguagem e de abordagem de temas entre os dois, ambos os padres mobilizam a simplicidade e o apelo emocional, típicos da virilidade sacerdotal, ao reforçarem em seus posts a posição institucional de mediação entre Deus e os fieis. Eles aliam a tais elementos fatores ligados à lógica do mercado e enfatizam simultaneamente aspectos de virilidade associados à beleza, à juventude, ao despojamento e até mesmo a um erotismo sutil, permitindo uma maior aproximação do sacerdote com seus seguidores.

Authors: Dantas de Amorim Wellington , Deccache Chiozzo Vitor
Published: September 2017

O trabalho se propõe a investigar a articulação entre Defesa e Política Externa brasileiras, consubstanciada na Estratégia Nacional de Defesa (END), em conjunto com os demais países componentes da Bacia Sul – Atlântica, para a construção e fortalecimento de uma comunidade de segurança no Atlântico Sul e na Zona de Paz e Cooperação do Atlântico Sul (ZOPACAS), entre os anos de 2008 e 2014. Esse processo se dá pela criação de uma identidade regional sul-atlântica alicerçada na cooperação e confiança mútuas entre os países da ZOPACAS, com uma estratégia convergente entre os Ministérios de Relações Exteriores, Defesa e a Marinha do Brasil para a realização dos objetivos nacionais no Atlântico Sul. Para tal, a política externa brasileira tem demonstrado uma ativa disposição em cooperar com os demais países da ZOPACAS, sobretudo na prevenção de ameaças neotradicionais e aos recursos naturais e energéticos existentes no espaço marinho sul – atlântico. O trabalho se utiliza da Teoria dos Complexos Regionais de Segurança, (TCRS), de Buzan e Wæver (2003), e propõe que tal comunidade de segurança do Atlântico Sul poderia ser caracterizada como um Subcomplexo Regional de Segurança.

Published: September 2017

Las concepciones de la historia han sido casi siempre tan numerosas como los hombres que han escrito sobre ella. Para Agustine Birrell, la historia es un espectáculo con el propósito de satisfacer nuestra curiosidad. Bajo el toque de un artista literario el pasado vuelve a vivirse de nuevo. Como otro Próspero, el historiador sacude su vara mágica y en las calles desérticas de Palmira suenan los pasos de artesanos y oficiales, los guerreros batallan entre sí, las torres en ruinas se levantan mágicamente y la vida entera de generaciones que han estado desde hace mucho bajo el polvo, reviven de nuevo en las páginas de un libro.

Published: September 2017

Retencja gleb leśnych w znacznym stopniu decyduje o bilansie wodnym zlewni i przebiegu zjawisk hydrologicznych, wpływa na kształtowanie się określonego typu siedliska lasu, skład florystyczny i jakość drzewostanu. Zdolności retencyjne gleb leśnych są znacznie mniej rozpoznane niż retencja gleb użytkowanych rolniczo. Retencja może być wyznaczona zarówno metodą bezpośrednią, jak i pośrednio za pomocą tzw. funkcji pedotransfer opisującej jej związek z określonymi właściwościami fizycznymi gleby. Analizę prowadzono dla modelu regresyjnego opracowanego dla wybranych gleb leśnych z obszaru Polski oraz dla modeli van Genuchtena i Wöstena oraz Varallyaya i Mironienki. Do oceny dopasowania modeli zastosowano niezależną serię gleb leśnych. Analiza pomierzonych i obliczonych wartości potencjalnej retencji użytecznej wskazuje na dobre dopasowanie modelu regresyjnego opracowanego dla badanej grupy gleb leśnych bielicowych i brunatnych. Modele opracowane dla gleb użytkowanych rolniczo nie dają akceptowalnego statystycznie dopasowania dla analizowanych gleb leśnych. Przeprowadzone badania potwierdzają lokalny charakter funkcji pedotransfer.

Authors: Sugiono Sugiono , Fardian Ryan , Novareza Oyong
Published: September 2017

Thermal comfort is one of ergonomics factors that can create a significant impact to workers performance. For a better thermal comfort, several environment factors (air temperature, wind speed and relative humidity) should be considered in this research. The object of the study is a building for converting process of plastics manufacturing industry located in Malang, Indonesia. The maximum air temperature inside the building can reach as high as 36°C. The result of this study shows that heat stress is dominantly caused by heat source from machine and wall building. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is used to show the air characteristic through inside the building. By using the CFD simulation, some scenarios of solution are successfully presented. Employees thermal comfort was investigated based on predicted mean vote model (PMV) and predicted percentage of dissatisfied model (PPD). Existing condition gives PMV in range from 1.83 to 2.82 and PPD in range from 68.9 to 98%. Meanwhile, modification of ventilation and replacing ceiling material from clear glass into reflective clear glass gave significant impact to reduce PMV into range from 1.63 to 2.18 and PPD into range from 58.2 to 84.2%. In sort, new design converting building process has more comfortable for workers.
Elsie Inglis (1864-1917) and the Scottish women’s hospitals in Serbia in the Great War. Part 1
Authors: Popovic-Filipovic Slavica
Published: September 2017

The news about the great victories of the Gallant Little Serbia in the Great
War spread far and wide. Following on the appeals from the Serbian legations
and the Serbian Red Cross, assistance was arriving from all over the world.
First medical missions and medical and other help arrived from Russia. It was
followed by the medical missions from Great Britain, France, Greece, The
Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, America, etc. Material help and individual
volunteers arrived from Poland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland,
Norway, India, Japan, Egypt, South America, and elsewhere. The true friends
of Serbia formed various funds under the auspices of the Red Cross Society,
and other associations. In September 1914, the Serbian Relief Fund was
established in London, while in Scotland the first units of the Scottish
Women?s Hospitals for Foreign Service were formed in November of the same
year. The aim of this work was to keep the memory of the Scottish Women?s
Hospitals in Serbia, and with the Serbs in the Great War. In the history of
the Serbian nation during the Great War a special place was held by the
Scottish Women?s Hospitals - a unique humanitarian medical mission. It was
the initiative of Dr. Elsie Maud Inglis (1864-1917), a physician, surgeon,
promoter of equal rights for women, and with the support of the Scottish
Federation of Woman?s Suffrage Societies. The SWH Hospitals, which were
completely staffed by women, by their participation in the Great War, also
contributed to gender and professional equality, especially in medicine. Many
of today?s achievements came about thanks to the first generations of women
doctors, who fought for equality in choosing to study medicine, and working
in the medical field, in time of war and peacetime.

The Missouri Botanical Garden responded to an initative suggested nearly eleven years ago at a meeting of the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta, when future directions were discussed. One presentor, Roy L. Taylor, called for botanical gardens to "define and distinguish" their research and education roles. He cited that botanical gardens need to lead in the establishment of programs for overall ecosystem management. He saw them holding a unique position to assume responsibility for public education, for public school programs, for horticultural training, and for professional upgrading. The Stupp Teacher Resource Center, as part of the Education Division, identified its role in this mandate and prepared to support programs for public education and for schools, by assistingclassroom teachers and providing materials for horticultural training and for professional upgrading.

The New SAT: The Future of Transition Assessment
Authors: Graff A. Steven
Published: September 2017

The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) has become a part of our culture, a constant measure, a rite of passage. It has served its purpose well - to assist in the prediction of academic performance during the freshman year of college. During the 1993-94 school year, however, the College Board will change the SAT by introducing the SAT I: Reasoning Tests, the SAT II: Subject Tests, and the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. This array of assessment instruments, builds on the heritage of its predecessors, but also makes some new departures. This presentation looks at the context and process which informed decisions to change the tests, describes those changes and what they will mean, and then looks ahead to the future.

WEB BROWSERS: UNTANGLING THE WORLD WIDE WEB
Authors: Konecky Joan Latta , Rosenquist-Buhler Carla
Published: September 2017

Not only are Internet resources expanding exponentially, but they are becoming more sophisticated, incorporating a variety of multimedia and hypertext components. Internet documents on the World Wide Web may contain elaborately formatted text, color graphics, audio, and video as well as dynamic connections to other Internet resources via hypertext links. In addition to providing user-friendly access to hypermedia resources, most Web browsers (client software) provide a rich graphical environment for authoring and displaying electronic documents locally. This article describes the World Wide Web and a sampling of the available Web browsers. It then discusses a testproject developed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries designed to explore the potential, demands, and pitfalls of Web access to the Internet, as well as to investigate hypermedia document creation in an academic libraryenvironment. The experiences with the project qonfirmed the importance of the World Wide Web and Web browsers to this environment, so much so that providing access to these Internet resources must be seen as mandatory to any academic or upper level educational library providing electronic information access.

The National Library of Education
Authors: Floyd Nancy L.
Published: September 2017

The National Library of Education is the largest federally funded library in the world devoted entirely to education. In March 1994, Congress created this new national library, bringing together the former U.S. Department of Education Research Library; the 1-800 user service; INet (ED/OERI's Internet site and services); and the Technology Resources Center. These units now operate in partnership with the ERIC to carry out reference and referral services; collection and technical services; resource sharing and cooperation, including Internet Services (INet); and marketing/public relations.       NLE is planning a network of national education technology and related resources. The network will promote greater cooperation and resource sharing among education and library professionals, policymakers, the public and other providers and repositories of education information in America. It will also apply information science, computer and telecommunications technologies for the enhancement of education information dissemination.

An overview of the Special Collections at Monroe C. Gutman Library, Harvard University, Graduate School of Education provides background on their growth and development, descriptions of major collections, information about the preservation microfilming projects, and a discussion of the research use of the collections. Other sources of information about special collections are presented, including the author's annotated bibliographies of directories for locating special collections and selected World Wide Web sites. Various collections are featured in the descriptive entries for the print and online sources. The author concludes that promoting our institutions' special collections through various print and online sources, as well as formal and informal communication with colleagues and scholars, advances the work of researchers in the field, although there are challenges in addressing the associated issues of access, staffing, services, and preservation. It is suggested that Web sites have the greatest potential for enhancing the research process by disseminating in-depth information about special collections.

LEARNING ACROSS GENERATIONS AND CULTURES
Authors: Segal Joan
Published: September 2017

Interests in school library services and in library services to the disadvantaged ran through much of Anne Galler's professional work. This paper, a personal description of the author's work with the Sky City Community School Library (Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico), reflects these interests. Likewise, the fact that this work came about as part of an inter-generational and cross-cultural informal learning experience sponsored through an Elderhostel service project reflects Galler 's personal interest inlifelong learning, and learning in retirement. The program included intensive learning about the Acoma Pueblo, about the education of indigenous peoples, and about the culture of the Acoma Indians. The author concludes that the experience highlighted the value of life-long learning.

Tutela Ressarcitória e Outras Respostas do Sistema de Justiça da Comunidade Europeia Perante o Incumprimento dos Estados
Authors: Alves Luísa Verdelho
Published: September 2017

No ordenamento jurídico comunitário, a introdução do princípio da responsabilidade do Estado ficou a dever-se à acção pretoriana do Tribunal de Justiça. O Tratado constitutivo da Comunidade Europeia (CE) prevê um meio jurisdicional de controlo do cumprimento dos Estados-membros a acção por incumprimento (artigo 226º e seguintes) —, mas não se pronuncia de forma expressa sobre as consequências ressarcitórias da violação do direito comunitário. Um silêncio que contrasta com a previsão da responsabilidade extracontratual da Comunidade Europeia no artigo 288º. Não obstante, no acórdão Francovich, o Tribunal declarou que "o princípio da responsabilidade do Estado pelos prejuízos causados aos particulares por violações do direito comunitário que lhe sejam imputáveis é inerente ao sistema do Tratado". A afirmação da responsabilidade do Estado, sustentada na exigência de uma protecção jurídica plena e eficaz dos particulares, é o corolário de uma jurisprudência que, desde cedo, procurou colmatar as deficiências dos meios previstos para prevenir e sancionar o incumprimento dos Estados, através do reforço da protecção jurídica dos particulares nos tribunais nacionais.

O artigo desenvolve-se depois na perspectiva da relação entre o pricing e a gestão na óptica do marketing, apontando algumas estratégias de política de preço, e a relação desta com a segmentação e o ciclo de vida do produto. Dado que a literatura específica sobre pricing no mercado financeiro não é extensa concluímos com algumas considerações próprias sobre o tema.
Tracing the Weaknesses of the Regulatory Framework for Clinical Trial in Nigeria
Authors: Ibrahim Salihu Sani , Yusof Yuhanif , Halim Rohizan
Published: September 2017

Nigeria is one of the developing countries with a very weak and incomprehensive regulatory framework for clinical trials. Past abuses of human subjects in clinical trials and cases of negligence and outright fraud necessitate the need for a stronger legal framework. An outbreak of meningitis in Nigeria in 1996 led to clinical trial of Trovan Drugs by Pfizer, which left many of the research subjects seriously impaired. Some died while some suffered paralysis and brain damage. It was obvious Nigeria has a weak regulatory frame work from the incident that took place in the mentioned above at the Infectious Dieses Hospital (IDH) Kano.

Objective: This study examines the factors that influence information system (IS) interoperability of e-Government focusing on IS Interoperability as the key concept to reach successful e-Government implementation in Jordan.

Methodology: Use of qualitative methods of inquiry has been made to explore study variables and their relationships. A variety of published literatures related to scope of the study has been reviewed along with analyzing the e-Government strategy in Jordan during period 2014-2016. The interoperability levels of e-Government IS have been discussed in this paper. Finally, significant barriers that affect IS interoperability have been identified along with the factors that can drive it successful implementation.

Findings: Technical, semantic, and organizational interoperability are main stages for successful e-Government IS interoperability. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure, top management support, human resources, data and information, security and privacy, and business process have been found as the major obstacles. Whereas, high level interoperability goals, commitment of government bodies, and customer focus have been identified as main success factors that lead to e-Government IS interoperability. The study suggests that strategies and work process should be aligned, common standards and knowledge should be shared to move towards e-transformation in Jordan.

Implications: This study can be starting point for the real life practical solutions for successful implementation of e-Government conceptual frame work. Finding of the study can be used to generalize about the factors that lead to success of IS interoperability within government agencies in other developing countries. This study enriches existing literature in this context. On practical side, the study contributes by identifying IS interoperability success factors and barriers within government agencies. The proposed conceptual model is first stage in the process of understanding factors that influence e-Government IS interoperability. Further studies may be needed to empirically evaluate the proposed conceptual model.
