A New Instrument for Time Resolved Measurement of HO2 Radicals
Authors: Speak Thomas H. , Blitz Mark A. , Stone Daniel , Seakins Paul W.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. OH and HO2 radicals are closely coupled in the atmospheric oxidation and combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Simultaneous measurement of HO2 yields and OH kinetics can provide the ability to assign site specific rate coefficients that are important for understanding the oxidation mechanisms of VOCs. By coupling a FAGE LIF detection system for OH and HO2 with a high pressure laser flash photolysis system, it is possible to accurately measure OH pseudo-first-order loss processes up to ~ 100 000 s−1 and to determine HO2 yields via time resolved measurements. This time resolution allows discrimination between primary HO2 from the target reaction and secondary production from side reactions. The apparatus was characterized by measuring yields from the reactions of OH with H2O2 (1 : 1 link between OH and HO2), with C2H4/O2 (where secondary chemistry can generate HO2), with C2H6/O2 (where there should be zero HO2 yield) and with CH3OH/O2 (where there is a well-defined HO2 yield). As an application of the new instrument, the reaction of OH with n-butanol has been studied at 293 and 616 K. The bimolecular rate coefficient at 293 K, (9.24 ± 0.21) × 10–12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, is in good agreement with recent literature, verifying that this instrument can both measure HO2 yields and accurate OH kinetics. At 616 K the regeneration of OH in the absence of O2, from the decomposition of the β-hydroxy radical, was observed, which allowed the determination of the fraction of OH reacting at the β site (0.23 ± 0.04). Direct observation of the HO2 product in the presence of oxygen has allowed the assignment of the α-branching fractions (0.57 ± 0.06) at 293 K and (0.54 ± 0.04) at 616 K); branching ratios are key to modelling the ignition delay times of this potential ‘drop-in’ biofuel.
Modelling of the shallow water table at high spatial resolution using
Random Forests
Authors: Koch Julian , Berger Helen , Henriksen Hans Jørgen , Sonnenborg Torben Obel
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Machine learning provides a great potential to model hydrological variables at a spatial resolution beyond the capabilities of traditional physically-based modelling. This study features an application of Random Forests (RF) to model the depth to the shallow water table, for a wintertime minimum event, at 50 m resolution over a 15,000 km2 large domain in Denmark. In Denmark, the shallow groundwater poses severe risks of groundwater induced flood events affecting both, urban and agricultural areas. The risk is especially critical in wintertime, when the shallow groundwater is close to terrain. In order to advance modelling capabilities of the shallow groundwater system and to provide estimates at scales required for decision making, this study introduces a simple method to unify RF and physically-based modelling. Results from the national water resources model in Denmark (DK-model) at 500 m resolution are employed as covariate in the RF model. Thereby, RF ensures physical consistency at coarse scale and fully exhausts high-resolution information from readily available environmental variables. The vertical distance to the nearest waterbody was rated the most important covariate in the trained RF model followed by the DK-model. The validation test of the trained RF model was very satisfying with a mean absolute error of 79 cm and a coefficient of determination of 0.55. The resulting map underlines the severity of groundwater flooding risk in Denmark, as the average depth to the shallow groundwater is 1.9 m and approximately 29 % of the area is characterised with a depth less than 1 m during a typical wintertime minimum event. This study brings forward a novel method to assess the spatial patterns of covariate importance of the RF predictions which contributes to an increased interpretability of the RF model. Quantifying uncertainty of RF models is still rare for hydrological applications. Two approaches, namely Random Forests Regression Kriging (RFRK) and Quantile Regression Forests (QRF) were tested to estimate uncertainties related to the predicted groundwater levels. This study argues that the uncertainty sources captured by RFRK and QRF can be considered independent and hence, they can be combined to a total variance through simple uncertainty propagation.
Topological Analysis in Monte Carlo Simulation for Uncertainty Estimation
Authors: Pakyuz-Charrier Evren , Jessell Mark , Giraud Jérémie , Lindsay Mark , Ogarko Vitaliy
Published: May 2019

Abstract. This paper proposes and demonstrates improvements for the Monte Carlo simulation for Uncertainty Estimation (MCUE) method. MCUE is a type of Bayesian Monte Carlo aimed at input data uncertainty propagation in implicit 3D geological modeling. In the Monte Carlo process, a series of statistically plausible models are built from the input data set which uncertainty is to be propagated to a final probabilistic geological model (PGM) or uncertainty index model (UIM). Significant differences in terms of topology are observed in the plausible model suite that is generated as an intermediary step in MCUE. These differences are interpreted as analogous to population heterogeneity. The source of this heterogeneity is traced to be the non-linear relationship between plausible datasets’ variability and plausible model’s variability. Non-linearity is shown to arise from the effect of the geometrical ruleset on model building which transforms lithological continuous interfaces into discontinuous piecewise ones. Plausible model heterogeneity induces geological incompatibility and challenges the underlying assumption of homogeneity which global uncertainty estimates rely on. To address this issue, a method for topological analysis applied to the plausible model suite in MCUE is introduced. Boolean topological signatures recording lithological units’ adjacency are used as n-dimensional points to be considered individually or clustered using the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm. The proposed method is tested on two challenging synthetic examples with varying levels of confidence in the structural input data. Results indicate that topological signatures constitute a powerful discriminant to address plausible model heterogeneity. Basic topological signatures appear to be a reliable indicator of the structural behavior of the plausible models and provide useful geological insights. Moreover, ignoring heterogeneity was found to be detrimental to the accuracy and relevance of the PGMs and UIMs.

Introduction: Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation can potentially lead to adverse health effects, including cancer and genetic defects. Genetic damage caused by radiation can be detected if micronuclei are observed. The objective of this pilot study was to detect the presence of micronuclei in cells of the oral mucosa in inidividuals occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation.Methods:  We implemented a pilot case-control study in which we compared oral mucosa micronuclei in 30 medical and nursing personnel in radiology centers in Celaya, Mexico, with 30 volunteers not exposed to ionizing radiation recruited from a public University. The oral mucosa was brushed and the amount of micronuclei was quantified. Chi-square test or t-test for two proportions were used to compared ionizing radiation and genetic damage between exposed and non-exposed groups.Results: The exposed group had an average of 5.37 ± 3.49 micronuclei and the non-exposed had 0.37 ± 0.61 (P<0.01). In the exposed group, 90% of participants exhibited genetic damage compared to 6.67% in the unexposed group (P<0.05).Conclusion: In this pilot study, medical and nursing staff from radiology centers presented with higher genetic damage compared to control group. Further studies are needed to identify the prevalence of genetic damage due to occupational radiation exposure in Mexico.
Maquiavelo y la mujer. Un estado de la cuestión
Authors: Marco Moreno Buenaventura
Published: May 2019

El presente estudio realizará un estado de la cuestión sobre a la interpretación de “la cuestión de la mujer” en la obra de Maquiavelo que desde la teoría política estadounidense se ha llevado a cabo desde principios de la década de 1980. Se sostendrá que las obras analizadas podrán ser adscritas a dos grandes paradigmas hermenéuticos: uno que parte de nociones esencializadas del género que es consolidado desde 1984 por Hanna Pitkin, según el cual Maquiavelo sería un autor misógino que propondría una política sin cabida para la mujer o lo femenino, y otro que denominaremos protoconstructivista, surgido en 1985 y capitaneado por Arlene Saxonhouse, en que Maquiavelo allanaría el terreno para una concepción fluida del género, permitiendo con ello nuevas formas de pensar la política y el género. Si bien la aportación de Pitkin será de incuestionable valor para autoras de ambos paradigmas, concluiremos que la mayor variedad de interpretaciones, y las más útiles para pensar los problemas políticos de la actualidad corresponderá a las obras de autoras adscritas al paradigma de Saxonhouse.
¿"Sina", "Catayo" o China? Los conocimientos sobre China en la educación del príncipe Felipe (1527-1556)
Authors: Li Chenguang
Published: May 2019

En el presente trabajo se pondrá el énfasis en explicar los conocimientos sobre China que Felipe II podría adquirir a través de la educación principesca. Cabe señalar que el príncipe vivió coincidiendo con dos acontecimientos históricos relevantes: el humanismo renacentista y el Descubrimiento. Así pues, para formar al futuro rey, no solo se utilizaron las obras clásicas y medievales, sino también se adoptaron nuevas descripciones sobre las tierras desconocidas anteriormente. Trataremos de analizar la genética y la evolución de los topónimos usados para identificar China en estos materiales, los cuales son el término Sina utilizado por los clásicos, el Catayo en los escritos medievales y la denominación actual, la China inventada por los portugueses en el siglo XVI.
Horizontes de liberalismo en la crisis de la Restauración: de Ortega a María Zambrano
Authors: Soto Carrasco David
Published: May 2019

El presente trabajo analiza el pensamiento liberal de Ortega y Gasset y María Zambrano ante la crisis de los años 30 y sus derroteros teórico-prácticos hasta la proclamación de la II República. En el primer epígrafe, se enmarca la reflexión de Ortega en torno a la Restauración dentro del ciclo europeo de desarrollo del hombre-masa y la necesidad de levantar una élite rectora de la cultura y de la vida. En un segundo momento, se reflexiona sobre las propuestas de superación fascista de la Dictadura, para presentar el análisis de Ortega sobre el fascismo, como culminación del proceso de rebelión de las masas. Ortega, ante la situación de la monarquía española, seguiría atado a la idea de organizar la decencia nacional. En este espacio, la Agrupación al Servicio de la República jugará una papel determinante como intento de revitalizar un cierto liberalismo de corte republicano. Por su parte, Zambrano apostó por un liberalismo de influencia socialista y comunitarista capaz de acometer la cuestión social bajo el mandato de una aristocracia espiritual. En este contexto, la incapacidad de Ortega de erigirse como maestro de una generación llevará a algunos de sus discípulos más exaltados a fundar el Frente Español, un partido nacional, que aspiraba a superar las divisiones de clases. Otros discípulos tomarán caminos más radicales.
“May Your Holy Inspiration Call Me in the Desert”: New Jewish and Baroque Identity in the Poetry of João Pinto Delgado
Authors: Warshawsky Matthew D.
Published: May 2019

The poetry of João Pinto Delgado, a Portuguese converso, adopted Baroque literary conventions to express the viewpoint of a New Christian demonstrating in Spanish a Jewish identity. This article studies the influence of the Spanish Golden Age on poems that Pinto Delgado published in France in 1627 to show how these works express a “New Jewish,” or heretofore forbidden Jewish voice. By analyzing texts that treat themes from the books of Esther, Lamentations, and Exodus, the article explores how Pinto Delgado communicated Jewish themes, regardless of his ability to live openly as a Jew. Additionally, by comparing his poetry with works of Jorge Manrique, Fray Luis de León, and Luis de Góngora, the article proposes that the Jewish perspective of Pinto Delgado coexisted with a Spanish literary one.
Poet of the Sun: Lope de Vega’s Appropriation of Apollo
Authors: Mascia Mark J.
Published: May 2019

This study examines the different ways in which Lope de Vega appropriates the mythological figure of Apollo throughout his lyric poetry, a topic often overlooked by scholars. Initially, in the Rimas humanas, Lope uses Apollo to serve somewhat traditional needs, such as offering praise, highlighting female beauty, or retelling the Apollo–Daphne myth. Yet, within the same Rimas, Lope begins to use Apollo in order to present himself as a poetic authority. Later, in La Filomena, Lope attacks his rivals through Apollo. Finally, in the Burguillos collection, Lope inverts standard myths involving Apollo and uses him for other functions, such as parodying Petrarchism. In sum, Lope reinvents Apollo and in some ways presents himself as his own figurative and self-styled “god” of poetry.
Guilt, Confession, and Forgiveness: From Methodology to Religious Experiencing in Paul Ricœur's Phenomenology
Authors: Jani Anna
Published: May 2019

My approach to religious experience in Paul Ricœur's phenomenology of religion consists in the primordial hypothesis that the basic question of phenomenology can be formulated by virtue of the reality of the experienced thing. The aim of the essay is to show the way Ricœur connected the phenomenological and hermeneutic problematics of Being to the fundamental ethical dimension of phenomenological ontology, that is, the way the fundamental ontology of phenomenology essentially belongs to individual religious questioning. Based on the two poles of the investigation, I will focus on the questions of (1) how religious experiences reflect on reality and (2) how the methodology of phenomenology leads to the wider ontology of theology. According to my hypothesis, the two divergent approaches to religious experiences find their source in the phenomenological reflection on reality, and this reality, in view of the substantially nonreal experience of religiosity, urges the creation of a new ontology in the gift of revelation.
The Trinitarian Relationship of the World
Authors: Ferrarello Susi
Published: May 2019

The article examines how phenomenology can investigate experience in a way that appears to us meaningful from a spiritual and ethical point of view. By comparing Husserl's and Nishida's experiential analysis, the article investigates the ethical experiencing of reality as a unicum detached from that validated by one's intersubjective community. Besides, the article addresses the problem of how the meaning of this experience can be reactivated within an intersubjective community through a proper understanding of its layers, including time, being, and teleology. It seems in fact that the multilayered nature of time entails an organization of ethical and psychological reality that cannot be explained by an exclusively epistemological point of view: rather, a unique form of teleology is required that bridges epistemology and ontology. Moreover, I clarify how axiological experience—by which Husserl means a specifically ethical way of processing reality—has its source in a mode of spiritual belief that we may call religious. Finally, I explain how this religious source reflects a teleological manner of experiencing time.

Written Corrective Feedback as Practiced by Instructors of Writing in English at Najran University
Authors: Aseeri Fatimah Mohammed M.
Published: May 2019

The present study aimed to address the extent to which faulty members and students at the department of English language at Najran University practice using the ways of written corrective feedback. The questionnaire, as the main study instrument was used to collect data while the descriptive analytical approach was used to analyze these collected data. Findings revealed that the direct way of correction, i.e., the identification of student’s errors by underlining or circling and then telling them how to correct such errors without allowing them the chance to figure out what the corrections are, was the most practiced way of written corrective feedback. Using Arabic, as it was students’ mother tongue, to show them their errors and then explain to them how to correct these errors was the second practiced way. Indirect correction like for example correcting student’s errors through writing in the margin that there was an error without giving them the correct answer was the least used way, as indicated by faculty members. Nevertheless, correcting students’ errors by coding the exact error in the text without giving them the correct answer was the least used way from students’ viewpoint. Moreover, findings showed that both faculty members and students were in favor of the comprehensive not the selective way of correction.
Verfassungsrechtliche Ansprüche auf konkrete medizinische Leistungen
Authors: Ströttchen Jonathan
Published: May 2019

An insured person’s entitlement to statutory health insurance is limited to benefits that are necessary in the event of illness and economic benefits whose quality and effectiveness are generally recognised. Jurisprudence and legislators have developed numerous exceptions to this principle. This study examines in which cases such exceptions are constitutionally necessary and whether the existing exceptions in the SGB V (the fifth section of Germany’s social code) sufficiently reflect the constitutional right to concrete medical services. It provides a detailed overview of the areas of application in this respect and the prerequisites which allow the limits of statutory health insurance to be breached and their constitutional significance. As a result, unconstitutional gaps in care could arise in particular in cases of illnesses that are not directly life-threatening and courses of purely palliative treatment. The study also critically questions the constitutionality of the procedure used to decide whether a patient is entitled to benefits.

Sugammadex for Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade in a Patient With Renal Failure
Authors: Pfaff Kayla , Tumin Dmitry , Tobias Joseph D.
Published: May 2019

Residual neuromuscular blockade following the use of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) can lead to postoperative respiratory complications, including oxygen desaturation, atelectasis, and pneumonia. Sugammadex rapidly reverses steroidal NMBAs by encapsulating them in a highly stable water-soluble complex. This NMBA-sugammadex complex then undergoes renal elimination. In patients with renal insufficiency or failure, concern has been expressed regarding the elimination of the NMBA-sugammadex complex. We present a 19-year-old patient with renal failure who received sugammadex for reversal of neuromuscular blockade. The use of sugammadex in patients with renal dysfunction is discussed and safety concerns are reviewed.
‘YESTERDAY, I SAW A RABBIT!’: UNLEARNT LESSONS FROM THE NOMOS OF THE HOLOCAUST FOR CRIMINOLOGY, OR WHY SOME PRINCIPLES FROM ANARCHISM MAY TRUMP SOVEREIGNTY IN COMBATING GENOCIDE
Authors: Morrison Wayne
Published: May 2019

A criminologia tradicional responde à soberania e trabalha em defesa da ordem social, de modo que obediência ao Estado é a norma, e anarquismo é o inimigo. Mas o genocídio, como no Holocausto, apresenta um terreno diferente. Esse artigo olha para os atos e julgamentos de, respectivamente, Otto Ohlendorf e Julius Schmahling através do nomos nazista. A teoria criminológica deve estar viva, humana e particular, mas ciente de sua situação no mundo, de modo que o artigo se une à escritora judia brasileira Clarice Lispector para colocar um cachorro (ou dois) para encontrar a visão do coelho que perseguiu Julius Schmahling e, assim o fazendo, questionar sobre a pedagogia do que é e/ou deveria ser a Criminologia. Se isso parece historicamente concentrado, o final nos retorna ao presente, um tempo onde terroristas clamam por lutar guerras globais em nome da pureza e da segurança, seguindo credos interpretativos não diferentes de Ohlendorf, sendo a imagem final contra soberana a da Madonna Negra.

Diferenças na relação de sintomas cardiorrespiratórios e seu diagnóstico nas dificuldades funcionais de longevos e idosos
Authors: Rocha Josemara De Paula , Bós Ângelo José Gonçalves
Published: May 2019

Objetivo. Investigar diferenças entre longevos (≥80 anos) e idosos (60-79 anos) quanto à relação entre diagnóstico de doenças cardiorrespiratórias e seus sintomas e a dificuldade para realizar atividades cotidianas. Métodos. Estudo transversal analítico de dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística em 2013. Regressão logística foi utilizada para testar as chances de dificuldade de realizar 12 atividades cotidianas. Variáveis independentes: faixa etária, diagnóstico de cardiopatia, asma e pneumopatia e sintomas cardiorrespiratórios. Resultados. Participaram 11.177 sujeitos, 1.705 com doenças cardiorrespiratórias. As doenças cardiorrespiratórias foram significativamente relacionadas com dificuldades em quase todas as atividades cotidianas. Entre idosos, asma e pneumopatia e em longevos, asma e cardiopatia, não apresentaram relação com dificuldade em atividades cotidianas. Em idosos, cardiopatia se relacionou com dificuldades em sete atividades cotidianas. Em longevos, pneumopatia associou-se apenas à dificuldade no banho. Em idosos e longevos com doenças cardiorrespiratórias, falta de energia se associou a dificuldade de realizar atividades cotidianas. A angina grau 1 foi associada a dificuldade de realizar atividades cotidianas somente em idosos e a angina grau 2, tanto em idosos quanto em longevos. Conclusões. Os sintomas cardiorrespiratórios elevavam mais a chance de relato de dificuldade de realizar atividades cotidianas em idosos e longevos do que o diagnóstico. Longevos demonstraram menores chances para dificuldade de realizar atividades cotidianas na presença do diagnóstico, mas na presença de sintomas mais graves, suas chances apresentavam valores mais altos. Os achados sugerem que na presença de sintomas incapacitantes, principalmente em longevos, o encaminhamento diagnóstico tem considerável chance de levar a descoberta de doenças cardiorrespiratórias.

O terceiro, comum e comunicável para a plenitude e liberdade: aspectos da pneumatologia de Joseph Moingt
Authors: Nentwig Roberto
Published: May 2019

Este artigo traz alguns aspectos da pneumatologia de Moingt, que trata do Espírito Santo na dinâmica trinitária. Para o autor, Deus é uma existência pluripessoal: somente pode se comunicar, porque é trinitário; um Deus monolítico seria uma solidão incomunicável. O Pai e o Filho são um, comunhão possibilitada pelo Espírito, nomeado como o terceiro porque se coloca na relação entre o primeiro e o segundo, realizando o deslocamento do eu para nós. Este terceiro é um ser comum e comunicável: é comum a Cristo e ao Pai e comunicável a todas as criaturas por intermédio do Filho, agindo na história, que está grávida da presença salvífica de Cristo, até que o mundo seja a imagem divina, quando seremos tudo em todos — comunhão universal. Este mesmo Espírito é chamado de “espírito de Cristo” (Rm 8,9) e espírito de liberdade: a mesma liberdade de Cristo Jesus é agora transferida ao mundo e a Igreja. A Igreja, portadora do Espírito de Cristo, será dócil a esta presença à medida que deixar seu enrijecimento institucional, além de promover a comunhão das pluralidades até o dia da comunhão universal, que está em processo de gestação na história.
Teologia e direitos humanos: um diálogo interdisciplinar entre Tomás de Aquino e Paulo Freire na perspectiva da consciência
Authors: Almeida Andre Boccato
Published: May 2019

O presente artigo propõe-se a refletir de forma interdisciplinar o tema da teologia e direitos humanos a partir dos dois pensadores: um teólogo italiano e um pedagogo brasileiro. Em seus contextos, ambos propuseram uma pertinente e relevante reflexão sobre o ensino e a educação. Em tempos como os nossos, nos quais os valores éticos tendem a ser banalizados pelo bombardeio de imagens simuladas, informações construídas e versões da verdade segundo interpretações ideológicas, estes dois pensadores, cada um em seu horizonte de mundo, convidam-nos a voltar ao sentido último do ato educativo: refletir, pensar e buscar o sentido da verdade. Nas respectivas propostas teóricas, éticas e pedagógicas, encontra-se o gérmen inspirador da consciência, base dos diretos humanos.
Ensino Religioso sob a perspectiva dos Direitos Humanos
Authors: Lima Adriano Sousa , Aragão Gilbraz de Souza
Published: May 2019

A dignidade humana é princípio constitutivo do Estado democrático de direito e também fundamento dos direitos humanos. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, as Civilizações passaram a refletir e buscar caminhos para condições dignas ao ser humano. Foi nesse contexto que os direitos humanos ganharam um espaço privilegiado se tornando um paradigma fundamental para a educação. O presente texto tem como tema o ensino religioso sob a perspectiva dos direitos humanos. A partir da metodologia bibliográfica, é feita uma análise em literatura especializada, fundamentados na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil e nos princípios da Legislação educacional, os autores apontam elementos fundamentais propondo que a disciplina de ensino religioso tenha como paradigma os direitos humanos, sendo comprometida com o respeito à diversidade cultural e religiosa, com o pluralismo de ideias e concepções pedagógicas, com o combate ao racismo, à misoginia, à homofobia e a intolerância. Os autores propõem ainda que a disciplina de ensino religioso assuma um sólido compromisso com os direitos da criança e do adolescente, proporcionando uma formação cidadã crítica e responsável aos estudantes.

Authors: Otero Verdaguer David
Published: May 2019

Empieza el semestre y llevo ya unos días parado desde JARVIS. Mi Notepad++ lleva demasiado tiempo cerrado y está empezando a quedar arrinconado entre los iconos de mi escritorio… ¡Necesito programar! Por eso, este semestre, he elegido Matemáticas y Física para Videojuegos, una asignatura de carácter abierto, sin apuntes, donde se trabaja con 2 librerías de javascript: ThreeJS para gráficos 3D en el navegador y PhysicsJS, la librería de físicas que ha dado luz a este proyecto “CrazyBirds”.

Authors: Sunulahpašić Amer , Čekić Sanja , Golijan Jelena , Hamidović Saud
Published: May 2019

Modern agricultural production considers intensive use of agro-technology and chemical agents, which in addition to multiple benefits, results in loss of diversity. One of the methods for improvement of ecological interactions within the agroecosystem is increasing the diversity of cultivated plants. Previous studies have shown the impact of diversification of crops on pest populations in agricultural agroecosystems and demonstrated how certain techniques such as intercropping, can significantly affect the control of herbivores. This paper presents the influence and the role of intercropping in suppression of pests, weeds and diseases. According to the data presented, it is evident that, by using intercropping, multiple beneficial effects for the plant populations can be achieved, followed by development of resistance mechanisms, as well as production of compounds with suppressive effects on overall plants pathogens, weeds and pests.

The aim of this paper is to show the state of production of seed intended for the establishment of organic crops in Serbia. Current regulations in many countries require that the seed and planting material used for organic farming must be produced according to the rules applicable to organic crops. Organic seed production, compared to conventional, carries a higher risk of weed seed contamination and of seed-borne diseases which make it more difficult to obtain high quality seeds. The early harvest is one of the possible measures to improve the seed health and there are various forms of seed treatments (natural plant extracts and substances of natural origin). Results within the field of seed production are closely related to conservation of plant landraces and exchange of their seeds that are necessary for organic food producers in Serbia.

Authors: Nedeljković Miroslav , Krstić Boro
Published: May 2019

In today's turbulent market conditions, the selection of suppliers in an agricultural enterprise constitutes a primary function, and the entire supply chain with the necessary raw materials and intermediate goods plays an important role in the day-to-day functioning of the economic entity in this field. In order to successfully solve the problem of choosing a supplier, the decision maker uses the methods of multi-criteria analysis, and the corresponding software support. The subject of research in this paper is the selection of mineral fertilizer suppliers in the agricultural enterprise using the AHP methodology, which is one of the most commonly applied methods of multi-criteria analysis today. The aim of the research is to rank suppliers on the basis of the set criteria, and a supplier with the highest rating was selected for the supplier of mineral fertilizer as the observed enterprise.

The yield components participate in the formation of the overall yield and vary within the genotype and environmental factors. The aim of this research was to evaluate yield components of spelt genotypes originating from different Western Balkan countries. Spelt genotypes were examined during two growing seasons 2015/16 and 2016/17 in the agro-ecological conditions of Banja Luka. Nine spelt genotypes were used, i.e. landrace Sitnica from Manjača mountain (the Republic of Srpska, B&H), seven Montenegrin landraces KP34LJ5-1/34 (SP1), KR16LJ5-1/16 (SP2), KR29LJ5-1/29 (SP3), KR12LJ5-1/12 (SP4), KR15LJ5-1/15 (SP5), LJ5-1/9 (SP6), KR20LJ5-1/20 (SP7) and cultivar Nirvana from Serbia. Standard production practices were applied for these spelt genotypes. Five traits were analyzed: the number of spikes m-2, plant height, spike length, the number of grains spike-1 and spike index. A two-factorial analysis of variance was performed and significant differences between treatment means were tested by the Fisher's LSD test at P≤0.05 and P≤0.01 significance level. Genotypes SP4 (140.38 cm), SP5 (138.82 cm), Sitnica (137.66 cm) and SP6 (135.65 cm) showed tendency of forming a relatively higher plants. Sitnica had the longest spikes (14.07 cm), while Montenegrin genotypes had relatively shorter spikes of 6.79 cm on average. Genotypes SP2, SP4, SP5, SP6 and SP7 obtained the highest number of grains per spike while the highest average spike index was obtained in SP7 (0.81).
Analytical River Routing with Alternative Methods to Estimate Seepage
Authors: Morel-Seytoux Hubert J.
Published: May 2019

Knowledge of flow exchange between surface and groundwater is of great importance for use of water resources. The determination of seepage between a stream and an underlying aquifer requires an accurate estimation of the river stage and of the head in the aquifer. An approach is presented to estimate analytically river flow and stage while using the SAFE conductance to calculate the seepage.  A major contribution of this article lies in the methodology for river routing with its use of a modified Linear Reservoir model.  The parameter C is related to discharge based on Manning’s equation. That relation breathes into an empirical model a dynamic character. A second major contribution is to show that it is possible to simultaneously calculate river stage and aquifer head in the aquifer cell that contains the river.  As a result iteration is not necessary to estimate that river cell head as river stage changes, as opposed to what is usually done in most numerical groundwater models.  Iteration is still needed for the adjacent cells to the river cell.  Because the influence of a change in the adjacent cell head on the river cell head is much delayed and attenuated the iteration is not sensitive to that change. A goal of this document is to show how that method can be used within a simple physically based routing procedure [1] to estimate the river stage that has a definite influence on seepage.
Causal Prediction and Forecasting
Authors: Cox Louis A.
Published: May 2019

Time‐series forecasting models that extrapolate future values of variables from past ones are often limited by their inability to anticipate how the relation between past and future values will change if new interventions or policy changes are undertaken. Since one of the chief purposes of prediction and forecasting is to guide present choices among alternative interventions or policy changes, this limitation is crucial. It can be overcome by applying causal models consisting of networks of causal (or “structural”) equations or laws that produce the same conditional probabilities for output values given the same set of input values, no matter what policy changes or interventions are undertaken – the property ofinvariant causal prediction(ICP). This article describes the key concepts of such causal prediction and forecasting models, contrasts them with empirical time‐series forecasting methods that do not use causal modeling, explains how to construct (or “learn”) them from data, and mentions several practical applications.
Learning Causal Graph Models from Data
Authors: Tony Cox
Published: May 2019

Causal graph models such as causal Bayesian networks and influence diagrams are highly useful for describing how the probability distributions of some variables depend on the values of others; predicting the values of as‐yet unobserved variables from the values of observed ones; forecasting how changes in current controllable actions, decisions, or policies will change the probabilities of future outcomes; prescribing what choices to take to maximize expected utility; and evaluating the effects of past policies and interventions. Algorithms for learning such models from data are increasingly widely available. This article reviews the main concepts, applications, and methods of causal graph modeling and analysis. It discusses various meanings for “cause” and different principles for learning causal graph models from relevant data.
Efficient Treatment Allocation in Two‐Way Nested Designs
Authors: van Breukelen Gerard J. P.
Published: May 2019

The usual treatment allocation in randomized trials and their factorial and nested extensions is balanced, that is, with equal sample size in each treatment arm. This is optimal only when the variances and study costs are the same in both treatment arms or when the ratio of treatment‐specific variances is equal to the ratio of treatment‐specific costs. Focusing on 2 × 2 cluster randomized trials with a quantitative outcome, this article shows the effects of heterogeneity of variance and costs on the optimal treatment allocation. Essentially, that allocation assigns a larger part of the sample to the treatment arm with a larger variance and lower costs. Since outcome variances are unknown in the design stage of a trial, references are given to robust design.
Signatures of Repairable Systems
Authors: Suárez‐Llorens Alfonso
Published: May 2019

The literature related to system signatures is briefly discussed. In short, computing a “signature” is associated with the fact of capturing the essence of a coherent system to simplify the quantification of its reliability. In this context, a representation of the reliability function of a repairable coherent system of components is addressed. It is assumed that each component can individually fail and be minimally repaired up to a fixed number of times. Failures occur at any component according to a nonhomogeneous Poisson process with a common intensity function. First, it is shown that the reliability function of a series system can be written in terms of the intensity function and a distribution‐free measure based on the probabilities of the number of repairs until system failure. Secondly, the utility of this result in the comparative study of system performance is illustrated through a “preservation” theorem. Finally, the results for series systems lead to an explicit expression for computing the reliability function of any repairable coherent system that depends on a distribution‐free measure of the system's design.
