Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Yong-Soo , Lee Hoon
Published: March 2020

This study examines the flow of tourism research on festivals during the past 30 years and discusses the implications and future prospects of festival research. We analyzed 482 papers published in the seven top-ranked journals in the KCI citation index in the field of tourism. Through content analysis, the flow and trends were examined from three perspectives: subject, year, and research contribution. The research topics were classified into “microscopic research” focusing on the festival participants, “medianscopic research” covering the organization and characteristics of the festival, and “macroscopic research” dealing with the political, economic, social, and cultural influences surrounding the festival. The main characteristics and meanings of each period were examined by dividing them into four periods: beginning (1989~1996), leaping (1997~2004), developing (2005~2010), and reflecting (2011~present). Citation index (IF), which summarizes the number of citations for each paper in subsequent studies, was used to examine the research contribution of each journal and the research contribution of individual articles. Six key issues were proposed: ① tourism and internationalization of festivals; ② motivation, experience, and satisfaction; ③ behavioral intentions and actual behavior; ④ research on non-participants; ⑤ evaluation and promotion; and ⑥ festivals as a leisure culture in which local residents participate. Through this study, we hope that Korea's festivals will be provided a foundation for sustainable growth where festival participants and all interested parties can be happy together.

Molecular dynamics simulations of Alzheimer's BACE1 and BACE2 transmembrane domains in neurons: Impact of cholesterol
Authors: Cruz-Jiménez Juan Carlos , Mercado-Montoya Marcela , Ostos-Ortíz Carlos Eduardo , Hernández Validivieso Alher Mauricio
Published: March 2020

Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation is an approach frequently employed in computational biology for exhaustive sampling of the protein-ligand conformational space. Hence, it is useful for structural analysis and the study of molecular interactions. In this study, we report on a MD simulation protocol to understand the dynamics of β-secretase 1 (BACE1) and 2 (BACE2), widely known to play a critical role in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease, by a structure change evaluation of their transmembrane domains while inserted in a simulated neural membrane system. We considered two different levels in membrane cholesterol content. Because there is no evidence supporting the capacity of BACE1 and BACE2 to exist as a dimer, single and double (BACE1/BACE1, BACE2/BACE2, BACE1/BACE2) systems, either in parallel or antiparallel orientation, were prepared for each run. Analysis of tridimensional structure of BACE1 and BACE2, after 10ns of MD simulation, revealed a correlation between higher cholesterol levels and both peptide refolding and changes in the secondary structure of both transmembrane domains in single and double systems. Interestingly, our results also indicate a potential interaction in the double system BACE2/BACE2, particularly when the domains had an antiparallel orientation.

El videojuego y la lectura literaria: nuevo espacio para los nativos digitales
Authors: Gutiérrez Ángel Nieves
Published: March 2020

Nos encontramos ante una realidad social en la que la lectura no se realiza únicamente a través de libros, sino también a partir de diferentes recursos como páginas web, foros, periódicos digitales, o los videojuegos. Configurándose todos ellos como nuevos espacios para la lectura. En cuanto a estos últimos, su origen se sitúa en la década de los 80, aunque su gran auge vendría a darse en la década de los 90. Y en la actualidad, son considerados como máquinas para aprender que ofrecen al profesor una herramienta idónea de cara a que los estudiantes puedan construir y elaborar sus conocimientos mediante un instrumento para ellos empleado en su día a día y motivador. En este sentido, los videojuegos están estrechamente unidos a la lectura, y han supuesto un cambio en nuestras actitudes hacia la lectura y la escritura, y un nuevo canal de transmisión de narrativas. El presente trabajo analiza una serie de videojuegos en los que o bien se ha referencia a figuras literarias, o bien son adaptaciones directas de obras.

Analytical ultracentrifugation as a tool in the studies of aggregation of the fluorescent marker, Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein
Authors: Dawidziak-Pakula Aleksandra , Krasowska Joanna , Wielgus-Kutrowska Beata
Published: March 2020

Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) is a fluorescent marker used in bio-imaging applications, including as an indicator of folding or aggregation of a fused partner. However, the limited maturation, low folding efficiency, and presence of non-fluorescent states of EGFP can influence the interpretation of experimental data. To measure aggregation associated with de novo folding of EGFP from a high GdnHCl concentration, the analytical ultracentrifugation method was used. Absorption detection at 280 nm allowed to monitor the presence of monomers and aggregated forms. Fluorescence detection enabled the observation of only properly folded molecules with a functional chromophore. The results showed intensive aggregation of EGFP in low concentrations of GdnHCl with a continuous distribution of aggregated forms. The properly folded monomers with mature chromophore were fluorescent, while the conglomerates of EGFP molecules were not. These facts are essential for a proper interpretation of data obtained with EGFP labelling.

Purpose of the study: This research aims to analyze parents’ perceptions towards the learning of English and the ways they help their children deal with English and language assessment.

Methodology: This qualitative study addresses 74 Chilean parents’ perceptions of English teaching and learning. A semi-structured interview was conducted to capture the participants’ perceptions. The data were categorized using content and frequency analysis and the principles of metaphoric analysis.

Main findings: The findings suggest that parents hold a positive perception of the English language and believe it is useful for their children’s lives even though they might find the learning of the language difficult.

Social implications/Originality: Participants can produce metaphors that regard English as an ability and metaphors that focus on the process of learning the language. The findings of this research are useful for university stakeholders, teachers, preservice teachers, and students.

Novelty/Originality of this study: In this study parents, stakeholders who have usually left aside from the language teaching and learning process, are interviewed to unfold their perceptions of what they see and believe when their children learn English.
Seleção de diretores escolares no Estado do Rio de Janeiro: a participação da comunidade no (con)texto político
Authors: Amaral Daniela Patti , Castro Marcela Moraes de
Published: March 2020

No presente artigo analisamos como a participação da comunidade para a seleção de diretores está posta nos textos legais dos municípios do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), pois nos interessa perceber como o legislativo e o executivo operam com a significante participação em políticas de caráter democrático. O estudo realizado no período de março de 2018 a fevereiro de 2020 contemplou as formas de participação da comunidade no processo de seleção de diretores. Foram analisados a Lei Orgânica, o Plano Municipal de Educação e a legislação sobre processo de seleção de diretores disponibilizados nos endereços eletrônicos das Prefeituras, Câmaras de Vereadores e Secretarias Municipais de Educação dos 92 municípios do RJ. Localizamos legislações em 37 municípios, organizados em três blocos a partir da concepção de fidelidade normativa, isto é, uma relação que articula a análise sobre como os municípios deliberaram a seleção de diretores em documentos legais. Os resultados demonstram que os Municípios operam com uma baixa escala de democracia e que oscilam mecanismos de eleição e consulta na seleção de diretores, subtraindo a participação na decisão da comunidade no processo de seleção de diretores. Observa-se uma tensão colocada no campo de estudos sobre gestão democrática entre as categorias eleição e consulta, inscritas desde a produção do texto da política.

Authors: Kalmykova E. V. , Novikov A. A. , Petrov N. Yu. , Kalmykova O. V.
Published: March 2020

Relevance. The main areas under vegetables, including onions, are located in the south of Russia. Inclusion of vegetables in the list of food safety products with a threshold value of 90% will significantly increase the responsibility of agricultural workers at all levels for the production and sale of vegetable products. The purpose of the research is to justify the feasibility and effectiveness of cultivating promising varieties and hybrids of onions during irrigation in the Lower Volga region to obtain yields of 150 or more t/ha of high-quality products.

Methods. For the first time in the area of chestnut soils, comprehensive scientific research was conducted on resource-saving techniques to increase the productivity of a vegetable crop in an extremely arid climate by regulating the physiological and biological processes during drip irrigation, and a system was developed for applying these techniques. Research in the experiment was carried out according to generally accepted methods.

Results. The most significant increase in the onion crop was obtained on the variants of the complex application of the studied agricultural methods and amounted, on average, for 2011...2016 with an irrigation regime of 75...75...75% of HB on the standard variety Volgodonets – 159%, relative to the control, on a promising hybrid Octant F1 – 118%, on the hybrid – 125%. With the regime of 70...80...75% of HB on the Volgodonets standard grade – 155%, relative to control, on the promising Oktant F1 hybrid 113%, on the Valero F1 hybrid – 115%. When calculating the cultivation efficiency of this crop, economic data were obtained, the value of which allows us to conclude that when planning the growth of onion production efficiency, agricultural producers are recommended to introduce agricultural technology with a profitability of 253.63%: promising hybrid Octant F1, irrigation mode – differentiated, background N450P180K135+Mortar+Energy-M. Against this background, in the context of research on the variety and hybrids, the maximum return on production costs is 3.2 rubles. An analysis of data on a combination of crop-forming factors showed that for onions when cultivating promising hybrids Octant F1 and Valero F1, when planning yields of 130 and 150 t/ha, it is necessary to maintain a moisture level of 70...80...75% HB, and when grown without fertilizers and when planning 110 t/ha it is enough to create a permanent irrigation regime.
Rooting stimulation of “Victoria” and “Korinka russkaya” grape hardwood cuttings as influenced by potassium salt of Indolyl-3-Acetic Acid (KIAA)
Authors: Shaimaa I. H. , Shalamova A. A. , Abramov A. G.
Published: March 2020

Relevance. Applying exogenous auxins to the cuttings of grapevines is a common practice in viticulture to improve the rooting process. The potassium salt formulations of auxins have been documented to be more, less, or equally efficient as acid formulations in rooting stimulation of cuttings depending on the genetic features of the plant, type and concentration of auxin, type of cuttings, and many other factors.

Methods. The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of potassium salt of indolyl-3-acetic acid (KIAA) on rooting of the hardwood cuttings of two grape cultivars namely, Korinka russkaya and Victoria, which are commonly planted by grape growers of the Tatarstan Republic. The study was conducted in 2018 and 2019 under hydroponic conditions in a controlled-environment growth chamber in Kazan State Agrarian University. The cuttings were treated with 1) KIAA at two concentrations (5,000 and 10,000) ppm; 2) β-indolyl-butyric acid (IBA) 3,000 ppm (as a check treatment) and 3) distilled water as a control.

Results. Based upon the overall results, KIAA significantly improved the rooting process of both investigated cultivars. Rooting percentage, average number of roots on cuttings as well as the quality of the root system was enhanced with increasing auxin concentration up to 10,000 ppm. IBA also improved the rooting quality parameters over the controls. The two grape cultivars differed significantly in their rooting capacity: cuttings of Korinka russkaya in both years had greater values of all the studied parameters compared with those of Victoria cultivar except for the callusing percentage, which was higher in Victoria.

Published: March 2020

Relevance.Allium cepaL. is considered to be one of the most important agricultural crops in most countries of the world. High nutritional value is especially pronounced in salad onion which vegetation needs high temperature and significant insulation.

Material and methods. The first biochemical characteristics are given for 9 Crimean salad onion genotypes and varieties (red onions Festivalny, Yaltinsky plus, Yaltinsky foros, Yaltinsky rybin, Yaltinsky 6А, Yaltinsky 7А, Yaltinsky 8А and yellow cultivars Kendy and Bean promine) with the comparison with the appropriate data for popular Italian sweet onion cultivar Tropea and semi-pungent varieties grown in Moscow region, Italy and Stavropol region (Zolotnichok, Cherny prince).

Results. Warm climate is shown to increase the amount of antioxidants, monosaccharides and organic acids in onion bulbs. Compared to the Italian Tropea variety Crimean genotypes were characterized by higher levels of ascorbic acid (12.8±1.4 mg/100 g fresh weight) and organic acids (1.58±0.03 mg malic acid per g of dry weight), relatively similar levels of polyphenols (21.0±2.3 mg-eq Gallic acid per g of dry weight), and quercetine. (3.09±0.42 mg-eq Gallic acid per g of dry weight) and antocyanines (2.78±1.03 mg/g fresh weight). New genotypes Yaltinsky 6A, Yaltinsky 7A, Yaltinsky 8A were shown to accumulate higher levels of antioxidants. A direct correlation between the peel/inner layers ratio of antioxidant activities with the appropriate ratio for polyphenols was demonstrated (r=+0.93). A direct correlation between flavonoids content in peel and inner layers was also revealed (r=+0.83). Polyphenols and flavonoids ratios between peel and inner layers were shown to be higher for the Crimean genotypes compared to semi-pungent Moscow region varieties which indicates the prospects of utilization of the Crimean onion peel in production of functional food products with elevated levels of antioxidants.
ETIOTROPIC THERAPY OF INFECTIOUS DIARRHEA
Authors: Shakhmardanov Murad Z. , Nikiforov V. V.
Published: March 2020

The issues of etiotropic therapy of infectious diarrhea require a differentiated approach not only depending on the etiological factor, but also on the type of diarrhea caused by the location of the pathological process. Infectious diarrhea occur in the form of three main types: secretory, osmotic, inflammatory (invasive). Secretory and osmotic type of diarrhea are found in infectious gastroenteritis. In the mechanisms of elimination of infectious gastroenteritis pathogens, the following factors play a leading role: the destructive effect on pathogens in the lumen of the small intestine of trypsin, chemotrypsin and acid duodenal content entering the small intestine; the «killer» action of interepithelial large granular lymphocytes (M-cells) on pathogens; the increase in resistance of the small intestine epithelium under the influence of M-cell cytokines; the difficulty of intercellular distribution of pathogens due to faster than in the gut, small intestine epithelial cell renewal; microbial antagonism of representatives of normal intestinal microflora. The appointment of etiotropic agents in cases of infectious gastroenteritis, at least, suppresses the manifestations of microbial antagonism on the part of representatives of the normal intestinal microflora, creating prerequisites for the delay of the pathogen in the body. The inflammatory type of diarrhoea occurs when invasion of pathogens to the mucosal lining of the colon, with subsequent development of the destructive changes and the possibility of further translocation. Obstacles to adhesion, penetration and intercellular spread of invasive pathogens in the colon mucosa is much less than in the small intestine. Pathogens of the same genera, species and serological variants (e.g. Salmonella, Campylobacter) can cause both secretory and invasive types of diarrhea. However, the appointment of antibacterial therapy will depend on the location of the pathological process. When gastroenteritis etiotropic therapy in most cases is impractical. In the presence of clinical manifestations of colitis, involving the implementation of invasive properties of the causative agent, the appointment of etiotropic treatment is justified.

Published: March 2020

The field of Computer Science has been of little interest for girls straight out of high school, when considering undergraduate majors in Brazil. At the University of Bras ??lia’s Department of Computer Science, female students compose less than 10% of the student body. In an effort to understand the girls’ lack of interest in computer related courses, we applied an anonymous questionnaire, from 2011 to 2014, regarding their perceptions of the field. The participants were 3707 females students who completed an anonymous questionnaire. We applied Association Rules in Data Mining and Principal Component Analysis to analyze these responses . The knowledge gained through this study could guide future research on the matter and guidelines for motivating girls to pursue careers in Computer Science.
Generational Professional Career Evolution of Professionals in Computer Science in Costa Rica
Authors: Calderón Marta Eunice , Marín Gabriela , López Gustavo
Published: March 2020

The career evolution of computing professionals has been studied very little, especially in Latin America. In a previous study (LAWWCC 2016) we reported results of an exploratory study that aimed to characterize the professional development model of people that studied Computer Sciences in Costa Rica.  It reflects the roles and the industrial sectors with which they began their professional career and in which they report are currently working.  No important gender differences were depicted in it amongst men and women, since they report similar choices regarding their professional evolution. As a result, some valid concerns were raised regarding the question: do these results represent the female (and male) behavior in all professional career stages?  In this study, results, obtained from an online survey responded by 611 professionals in Computer Sciences, are now shown by generations. Professionals are grouped in four generational categories: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Young and Mature Millennials. The main finding is that the professional evolution, with respect to the role and sector in which they perform, revels different behaviors for professionals of different generations.  It also reflects that male career evolution shows more role and industry changes than that of female professionals.

Published: March 2020

Pigs have potentially to transmit zoonotic gastrointestinal parasite disease both caused by protozoa and worm. The aim of this study was to identify gastrointestinal parasites that were potentially zoonotic in pigs in the province of Bali. A total of 100 fresh feces samples was collected from several pig farms in Bali, from Badung and Tabanan districts, each consisted of 50 samples. Pig feces samples were examined for the presence of eggs worms, cysts and oocysts for protozoa based on the morphology and size. Identification for protozoa and worms used native, sedimentation and sucrose flotation methods. Parameters measured were sex, feed and cage management. The result showed that the characteristic parameters for pigs in both district were generally female. Cage management for raising pigs mostly used group cage. Feed that provided in both district mostly used bran and concentrate. All of 100 pig feces samples that examined positive for parasites. There were 8 types of gastrointestinal parasites that have been identified. Four types of protozoa found were Entamoeba sp. (99%), Balantidium sp. (79%), Eimeria sp. (78%), Blastocystis sp. (69%) and four types of worms were Ascaris sp. (20%), Trichuris sp. (20%), Strongyloides sp. (19%), and Oesophagostomum sp. (8%). All pigs were infected with two or more parasites. The prevalence of parasitic gastrointestinal infections was different for each district, six genera (Entamoeba sp., Balantidium sp., Blastocystis sp., Eimeria sp., Oesophagostomum sp. and Trichuris sp.)  were higher found in Tabanan district and the two genera (Ascaris sp. and Strongyloides sp.) were higher in Badung district. Oesophagostomum sp. was only found to infect pigs in Tabanan district. The conclusion is gastrointestinal parasites that found in pigs at Badung and Tabanan district Bali Province mostly have zoonotic potential.

Published: March 2020

Diphtheria is an acute infection disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It remains a problem in Indonesia in a recent several years especially in East Java Province, which suffered from an outbreak of diphtheria in 2011. Erythromycin is the second line antibiotics therapy for diphteria if the patient is allergic to penicillin, also serving as a prophylactic and carrier therapy for contact diphtheria. Erythromycin has been used for diphtheria for a very long time, but there is little recent data on its sensitivity  against C. diphtheriae. The purpose of this study is to identify whether Erythromycin still has a strong antibacterial activity against Corynebacterium diphtheriae by invitro test. This was a descriptive study which observed the sensitivity pattern of erythromycin against Corynebacterium diphtheriae using the Epsilometer test (etest) as a diffusion technique. Samples used in this study were 30 isolates of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain mitis and gravis at the Center for Health Laboratory (BBLK) Surabaya obtained during 2011 until 2014. We retrieved the data based on gender, age, and districts of patients for each of the samples then analyzed them descriptively. In this study, a sensitivity test of 30 toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates revealed that 27 (90%) were sensitive to Erythromycin (average Minimum Inhibitory Concentration/ MIC) <0.016 μg/mL and all were strain mitis, while 3 (10%) had intermediate sensitivity with MIC 1 μg/mL (all were strain gravis). No resistance result was found from the sensitivity test. According to the result, we conclude that Erythromycin still has a strong antibacterial activity against Corynebacterium diphtheriae.

Dengue infection caused by DENV and transmitted by mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus is a major health problem in the world, including Indonesia. Clinical manifestations of dengue infection are very widely, from asymptomatic until dengue shock syndrome (DSS). DENV will attack macrophages and dendritic cells (DC) and replicate them. Monocytes are macrophages in the blood (±10% leukocytes). Macrophages produce cytokines and chemokines such as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1)/CCL2. The monocytes that are infected with DENV will express MCP-1, which will increase the permeability of vascular endothelial cells so that they have a risk of developing DHF/DSS. Macrophages and DC secrete NS1 proteins, which are the co-factors that are needed for viral replication and can be detected in the early phase of fever. The increased MCP-1 levels in dengue infection followed by an increase in the number of atypical lymphocytes indicate the arrival of macrophages and monocytes to the site of inflammation which triggers proliferation rather than lymphocytes. This is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design to determine the MCP-1 level in dengue infection patients with 1st until the 4th day of fever and the presence of atypical lymphocytes. Dengue infection was determined by rapid tests NS1 positive or negative and MCP-1 levels were measured using by ELISA sandwich method.MCP-1 level of sixty patients dengue infection NS-1 rapid positive or negative with 2nd until 4rt fever were significantly higher than healthy subjects (420.263±158,496vs29, 475±23.443;p=0.000), but there was no significant difference in subjects with DF, DHF or DSS (436,47±225,59 vs422,77±170,55vs 448,50±117,39; p =0.844). Atypicallymphosite differs significantly in healthy  subjects than subjects infected with DENV an average of 2% (p= 0,000). In conclusion, this shows the arrival of macrophages and monocytes to the site of inflammation, which triggers the proliferation of lymphocytes.

Aim: An oxidation process frequently occurs during white winemaking, affecting its quality. The aim was to study, for two years (2013 and 2014), the effects that foliar applications of vine-shoot (Airén (AVS) and Moscatel (MVS)) and oak wood (OW) extracts on Airén grapevines have on wine color, and must and wine glutathione, trans-GRP, trans-caftaric acid, and trans-p-coutaric acid content.Methods and results: These compounds were analyzed by HPLC. The results showed that, in general, foliar application of Airén vine-shoot extracts did not affect glutathione concentration, and the other treatments decreased it. AVS2013-50 and AVS2014 samples were characterized by a high content of glutathione and trans-GRP, while MVS2014 samples retain high levels of trans-caftaric acid. trans-p-Coutaric acid concentration decreased after AVS2013 treatment, meanwhile in the 2014 season all applications increased its content. The content of these compounds in the wines was similar to those obtained in the musts. OW2013 showed the lowest value of Abs 420, likely because this treatment decreased glutathione concentration in musts.Conclusions: The foliar applications of vine-shoots and oak extracts on Airén grapevines had a clear effect in reducing the wine alcohol degree and Baumé in case of grapes. This finding is interesting in the context of the current global warming change scenario. Although the two vintages studied were different, an improvement in the color quality was observed in both. The content of glutathione decreased from must to wine: the content in both matrices was lower in treated samples than in control samples, except for Airén extracts in both vintages. This means that glutathione is oxidized, avoiding the oxidation of other must and wine molecules.Significance and impact of the study: These findings are important in relation to revalorizing waste from the vineyard, and thus being able to improve the quality of the white wine in relation to the oxidation processes that take place in the winemaking process.

La préservation de l’environnement est actuellement au coeur des débats dans l’évolution des systèmes de production laitière. Le défi des années futures réside dans la fourniture de produits laitiers tout en assurant les performances sociales, économiques et environnementales, c'est-à-dire la durabilité des systèmes de production. En matière d’environnement, une attention toute particulière doit être portée à la limitation des risques de pollution vers l'eau, vers l'air et à la préservation de la biodiversité. Les systèmes d'élevage herbivore français, largement basés sur la prairie, présentent pour cela un réel atout du fait du lien au sol et de la part importante de fourrages dans l’alimentation du troupeau. Peu liée aux caractéristiques structurelles, l’efficience environnementale passe notamment par l’optimisation du recyclage du carbone et de l’azote au sein des systèmes de production. Alors que la variabilité des impacts environnementaux entre exploitations de systèmes différents (plaine vs montagne) est faible, une forte variabilité est observée entre exploitations d’un même système. Ceci démontre que les pratiques efficientes sur le plan technique, relatives à la gestion optimale des effectifs animaux, à une sobriété énergétique, etc. ont des incidences environnementales et économiques favorables. C’est pourquoi, une partie significative des exploitations d'élevage d'herbivores françaises devrait pouvoir être considérée à hautes performances environnementales et économiques sans remise en cause lourde du système de production. Par ailleurs l’élevage laitier, qui intervient pour réduire les pertes vers l’air et vers l’eau, est garant du stockage de carbone et de la biodiversité. Au-delà de la production de lait et de viande, l’élevage laitier joue dès lors un rôle majeur dans la préservation de l’environnement.

La stéatose hépatique chez les palmipèdes
Authors: BAÉZA E. , MARIE-ETANCELIN C. , DAVAIL S. , DIOT C.
Published: March 2020

Le foie gras des palmipèdes gavés est l’expression d’une stéatose hépatique d’origine nutritionnelle, hypertrophique, réversible et caractérisée par une accumulation de triglycérides dans les hépatocytes. Cette aptitude est favorisée par certaines particularités physiologiques et métaboliques des oiseaux en particulier un site prépondérant de synthèse des lipides qui est le foie et l’utilisation d’un aliment spécifique, le maïs riche en amidon et distribué en grandes quantités aux palmipèdes. Cet apport important de maïs va activer deux facteurs de transcription, SREBP-1c et ChREBP régulés respectivement par l’insuline et par le glucose, et qui vont agir ensuite sur la glycolyse et la lipogenèse. Toutefois, l’aptitude à la production de foie gras varie selon les espèces voire les souches de palmipèdes. Elle repose, essentiellement, sur une capacité de lipogenèse hépatique accrue, une capacité de sécrétion hépatique des triglycérides néo-synthétisés insuffisante et une capacité de captage des lipides circulants par les tissus périphériques limitée favorisant ainsi leur retour vers le foie et accentuant le développement de la stéatose. La sélection sur le poids de foie gras est efficace. Trois QTL agissant sur le poids de foie gras du canard mulard, ont été détectés sur les chromosomes 2, 9 et 21 de la cane commune. Par ailleurs, avec des conditions d’élevage et d’alimentation adaptées, les oies sont capables d’initier une stéatose hépatique spontanée. Cela constitue une perspective pour développer une production de foie gras sans recours au gavage.

This article is devoted to the issue of promoting strong local cultural brands in the art market by means of additional education programs. Globalization, increased competition in the global market, high economic and political risks, and development and implementation of strong cultural brands strategy provide opportunities to improve global competitiveness of local destinations. However, the art market in Russia is underdeveloped. Thus, it requires additional education programs. Social marketing education programs, aimed at the promotion and development of the Russian art market, are in fact being implemented. According to foreign examples, the development of the art market (in terms of image) is worthwhile for the state. However, the lack of information and understanding about the transactions in the art market contribute to a low economic level of investment in this area in Russia. Therefore, we cannot significantly influence the cultural brand of the territory. The authors offer a model for positioning additional education programs to break through in the art market, which can help to identify effective promotion strategies and significantly improve the effect of state support for such programs. This model can help local decisionmakers avoid the high risks that come with implementing additional education programs. The authors of the work studied the positioning of additional education programs in the framework of the art market based on a modified Cagan-Vogel matrix. In addition, typical examples of programs from various areas are examined to identify the advantages of these programs that successfully influence the development of the art market and how they strengthen the cultural brand of their territory.

Humor is important in smooth human communications, however, computer-generated humor is still distinguishable from humor that arises naturally in human communication. The purpose of this study is to construct a computer system that can generate humor in a human-like manner. The method involves using “nazokake” riddles, which comprise a type of Japanese word game. The game creates humorous links between two incongruous premises by linking them semantically to homophones: “Why is A like B? Because X/X′,” where A and B are independent premises and X and X′ are homophones linked to A and B, respectively. In a previous study, a system was constructed to generate such riddles based on a simple word similarity between two nouns that are homophones. This study builds on the previous study by generating more complex riddles based on the dependency relationships between homophonic verb-noun combinations. Subsequently, the two systems are compared with each other by evaluating them against riddles created by humans. The results show that the system based on dependency relationships generated more humorous, unexpected, and natural riddles than that based on word similarities. However, these riddles were not equal to those created by humans.

This paper aims to analyze the lifestyle of residents from household electricity consumption data. Improving QOL (Quality of Life) of elderlies has attracted attention in a super-aging society. It is known that the lifestyle of a person directly affects his / her health and QOL. Therefore, understanding a lifestyle is expected to be useful for providing various support for improving QOL, such as recommending adequate actions and daily habit. As a means for understanding residents’ lifestyle, this paper focuses on household electricity consumption data, which gets to be available with the spread of smart meters. The analysis is conducted by estimating the time of taking essential actions such as wake up and eating. As the target data has no ground truth, this paper also shows the result of an experiment on the detection of the essential actions. The analysis results reveal several findings which could be useful for improving QOL, such as positive correlation between regularity of dinner time and bedtime.

From April 2016 to June 2017, the Health + Housing Project employed four community health workers who engaged residents of two subsidized housing buildings in New York City to address individuals’ broadly defined health needs, including social and economic risk factors. Following the intervention, we observed significant improvements in residents’ food security, ability to pay rent, and connection to primary care. No immediate change was seen in acute health care use or more narrowly defined health outcomes.
