Rusmini, Manullang RR, Daryono. 2017. Development of shrimp shells-based compost and plant-based pesticide using bioactivators from Golden Apple Snails and their effects on the kenaf plant growth and pest population. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 260-267. Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L) cultivation generally uses chemical fertilizers and pesticides to increase production despite the adverse effects of those chemicals toward environmental ecosystem. Meanwhile, there are a lot of unutilized wastes produced from agriculture and fishery. This study aimed to develop the best bio-activator from Golden Apple Snails and spices to decompose the shrimp shells waste. The bioactivator was utilized for the production of plant-based pesticide to control pests in kenaf plant, and shrimps-shells-based composts to improve kenaf plant growth. This study employed a Randomized Block Design with two factorials. The first factor was the shrimp shells-based composts (K) which consist of three levels, and the second factor was the plant-based pesticide (P) which also consists of three levels. Each of experiment was repeated twice. Thus, in total there were 18 treatments. The shrimp shells-based composts had a pH value of 8.79, Potassium (K) 8.13 %, organic carbon (C) 17.45%, Nitrogen (N) 3.62%, Phosphorus (P) 2.27%; Magnesium (Mg) 0.59%, and Calcium (Ca) 7.64%; and a C/N ratio of 4.82. Kenaf plant height at 6 and 9 weeks after planting (WAP) showed significant differences upon the shrimp shells-based composts treatments. At 6 weeks after planting, kenaf plant diameter showed significant differences upon the composts treatment, while at 9 weeks after planting, the plant diameter indicated significant differences upon both the compost and plant-based pesticide applications. Pest populations that were present in kenaf plants were caterpillars, bugs, and beetles.

Nawangsih EN, Paryati SPY, Effendy JS, Sudigdoadi S, Sahiratmadja E, Hilmi D, Sovia E. 2017. Isolation of anti-idiotype minor capsid Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16 L2) IgY from egg yolk as immunogen of HPV vaccine. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 282-287. A potential strategy for the production of safe protective vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is to utilize antiids. Meanwhile, hyperimmunized hens could provide a convenient of specific immunoglobulin in their yolks (IgY). This study aimed to isolate IgY specific to anti-idiotype HPV 16 L2 from egg yolk which could be used for future alternative immunogen for HPV vaccine. Antibody anti-idiotype derived from chicken egg yolk that chickens immunized by HPV 16 L2 antibody. The antibodies were purified from immunized chicken egg yolk, then electrophoresis it using SDS-PAGE method to determine the molecular weight of IgY. To determine an amount of protein, we used fluorometer method and to confirm an existence of specific IgY using ELISA method. The results showed that the IgY preparation dissociated into three protein major bands with molecular weights of 180; 65; and 25 kD. The IgY and IgY specific concentration in eggs yolk increased until 8th week. After 8th week the levels decreased gradually. Samples derived from chickens immunized showed significantly higher concentrations of IgY and IgY specifics than control (p<0.05). These results suggested that chicken IgY could be a practical strategy in large-scale production of specific antibody anti-idiotype HPV 16 L2 for HPV Vaccine.

Nutritional Status as an Important Factor in the Health Status of the Adult
Authors: Jonxis J.H.P.
Published: July 2017

Malnutrition in the first year of life may cause permanent damage to the individual. There may be a permanent retardation in growth if the malnutrition is a serious one and the food intake is severely insufficient over a longer, period. Specially when malnutrition occurs in the first months after birth, it may cause damage to the central nervous system.As long as the breast-fed child gets enough breastmilk, it is unlikely that serious problems  arise. The declinein feeding in many developing countries is a serious problem, especially because the alternatives for human milk are not always available, owing to economic factors. In the, countries of the Western world there exists just, the opposite problem owing to partial over-nutrition abnormalities in fat metabolism may occur, which may influence the health of the individual later on in life.
Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Children
Authors: Santosa Gunadi
Published: July 2017

1. A definite diagnosis of tuberculosis can only be established on the basis of the finding of the tubercle bacilli.2. The isolation of the mycobacterium tuberculosis from a child is subject to difficulties:a. the necessity of gastric lavage for 3 consecutive days, which is difficult to perform ambulatory.b. the necessity of the proper facilities of a microbiologic laboratory.c. the outcome is often not sufficiently high.3. It is concluded that at the moment making of the bacteriological diagnosis of child tuberculosis is not practical, so that we are forced to depend on the clinical diagnosis.4. The tuberculin test is very important in establishing the diagnosis. It is recommended to perform this test routinely on every child once a year and also that every medical doctor as well as specialist performs this test to detect a case of TBC at the earliest possible moment.

Data of child tuberculosis, clinical visits and those who were treated in the three hospitals, visits to the 6 public health centers (Puskesmas) and figures of BCG immunization in the North Sumatra Province were presented.Although the tuberculin index in children in Medan (1965) was lower than that in Java (BCG Mass Campaign, 1954 - 1964), primary tuberculosis patients treated in the General Hospital (RSUPP) constituted 1.14% of the total patients admitted to the hospital in 1963 - 1972, whereas in the ”PNP IX” hospital it was 0.84%. From a survey of families (1962 - 1969) it revealed that infection in the families was ± 50%. While 76.1% of the meningitis patients were under the age of 4 years. From a survey of 6 public health centers we found through a Pilot Project that 1.02% patients had a positive sputum. The above mentioned figures gave the indication that BCG immunization had to be performed in children under the age of 4 years. However, the figures of the BCG campaign (1970 - 1973) at the above mentioned Pilot Project revealed that coverage in the under 5 - years - old age was 20.5%, whereas in the 5 - 14 years age group it was 49.2%.In practice the realization of massal BCG immunization was certainly the simplest with school age children who were already grouped and registered; nevertheless, partly of them hai already got infected and had been released from tuberculous meningitis complication. BCG immunization as mentioned above (probably it was also given mother areas in Indonesia) did obviously not reach its right target.

Published: July 2017

Recently a team approach is suggested in health care delivery to the community. Simple methods in evaluating health by professions other than the medical profession have to be designed. The teacher is the best person besides the medical personnels to be also involved in promoting the physical health of the school children. In order to assess this, a standard percentile distant curve growth chart drawn relevant to the local socio-economic condition is required. In developing countries a growth chart of the best nourished and circumstanced local group is suggested to be used as a standard (Tanner, 1973). The aim of this study is to provide the teacher such a growth chart. The subjects consisted of 10.342 pupils from 32 selected schools, from which centiles curves were drawn. The percentile curves showed that the 90 centile is below the 50 centile and the 50 centile below the 10 centile of the Harvard Standard.

Published: July 2017

This cross sectional study aimed to determine the relation between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and peripheral blood picture in children with bronchopneumonia, conducted at the Division of Pulmonology, Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar during 3 months (December 1996 to February 1997). Serum CRP levels, hemoglobin, leukocyte count, neutrophil count and ESR values in 30 cases between 1 month and 4.5 years (20 male and 10 female) were measured. Bronchopneumonia was mostly found in < 1 year old (67%) and with male to female ratio of 2:1. High CRP serum level (>12 microgram/ml) was found in 33% of 30 cases. Anemia was found in 37%, leukocytosis in 50%, increase segment neutrophil ratio in 30%, increase of ESR in 40% and increase of body temperature more than 38°C in 4 7% of the cases. Neutrophilia, increase of ESR and increase of body temperature were found statistically significant difference between the positive CRP and negative CRP group. Most bronchopneumonia patients in this study were probably caused by non bacteria. Neutrophilia, higher ESR and higher body temperature could be used as an indicator of bacterial infection besides the increase of serum CRP levels.

Two rare manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism: paralysis and peptic ulcer bleeding
Authors: Heidarpour Maryam , Karami Mehdi , Hedayat Pegah , Aminorroaya Ashraf
Published: July 2017

Primary hyperparathyroidism revealed by thoracic spine brown tumor and peptic ulcer bleeding is rare. We presented a case of 33-year-old male patient who was admitted with paraplegia. Thoracic spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed extradural lesion at T4 level. He underwent surgical decompression in T4. According to histopathologic finding and elevated serum parathormone (PTH) and hypercalcemia (total serum calcium 12.1 mg/dL), the diagnosis of brown tumor was down. Ultrasonography of his neck showed a well-defined lesion of 26 × 14 × 6 mm. The day after surgery, he experienced 2 episodes of melena. Bedside upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed gastric peptic ulcer with visible vessel. Treatment with intragastric local instillation of epinephrine and argon plasma coagulation was done to stop bleeding. After stabilization of the patient, parathyroidectomy was performed. Histologic study showed the parathyroid adenoma without any manifestation of malignancy. At discharge, serum calcium was normal (8.6 mg/dL). On 40th day of discharge, standing and walking status was normal.

Learning points:

Thoracic spine involvement is a very rare presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism.

The issue of whether primary hyperparathyroidism increases the risk of peptic ulcer disease remains controversial. However, gastrointestinal involvement has been reported in association with classic severe primary hyperparathyroidism.

The treatment of brown tumor varies from case to case.

Abstract:

Pancreatic cancer has adverse prognosis. Disease recurrence is typical and it occurs mainly within the first 2 years postoperatively. However late and soliter metastases are rare. This case report shows the history of a male patient, who was radically operated on for pancreatic cancer. 11 years later a solitary liver metastasis has developed and it was completely removed by resection. 1 year postoperatively the patient is doing well. Our case demonstrates that in patients after resection for pancreatic cancer, redo surgery might be justified in case of late and isolated metastasis. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(28): 1109–1111.

Abstract:

Introduction: Lesions identified during breast imaging often require microscopic verification. Current recommendations imply the classification of radiological, clinical, cytology and core biopsy findings into one of five predefined categories. The Decker system also includes a classification of both the correlation between radiology and pathology and the actions required on this basis. Aim: To report on the five-year results of the implementation of the Decker system in our pretreatment multidisciplinary breast team. Method: Retrospective analysis of patients operated on because of breast diseases or appearing at the multidisciplinary breast team during the period between 2000 and 2014. Results: Of 1716 cases discussed, 1531 were solved by non-operative diagnostics, 157 required diagnostic excisions; 1122 cases (65%) proved to be malignant. Malignancy was diagnosed by core needle biopsies in 69% of the cases. The non-operative approach was unsuccessful, delayed or wrong in 14 cases. Conclusion: Breast lesions need to be evaluated in a multidisciplinary setting. The Decker-system is suitable for the recording and analysis of the correlation between radiologic/physical and microscopy findings, and of the ensuing diagnostic/therapeutic actions.

Nanggulan Formation and Its Problem As a Basement in Kulonprogo Basin, Yogyakarta
Authors: Hartono Hill Gendoet , Sudradjat Adjat
Published: July 2017

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.4.2.71-80Nanggulan Formation consists of the oldest clastic rock sequence exposed in Kulonprogo area, Yogyakarta. This paper discusses the position of Nanggulan Formation as a basement. The method used in this research is surface and subsurface investigations based on gravity surveys. The rock assemblage is exposed and distributed partly in the east flank of Kulonprogo Mountains with weak undulated morphology. The rock sequence is composed of sand to clay grain sizes such as sandstone, quartz sandstone, calcareous sandstone, claystone, fossiliferous claystone, calcareous claystone, siltstone, and coal seam intercalations. The total thickness of the sequence is less than 200 m. Based on the fossil and palynology investigations, previous investigators concluded the age of the rock was Eocene to Middle Miocene. The geological structures developed in the rocks are the lithological stratification, fractures, folding, and faulting. The subsurface interpretation based on gravity data revealed the rock was located under the andesite breccias with 2.44 g/cc density. The density of the rock sequence was 2.63 g/cc. The gravity interpretation shows a strong indication that Nanggulan Formation underlies the andesitic breccias presumably associated with Old Andesite Formation exposed in Kulonprogo Mountains. The limited distribution, the thickness, and the closed environmental deposition of Nanggulan Formation found in the present investigation raised problems on the position of the formation as the basement of Old Andesite Formation occurring in the Kulonprogo Mountain.

Authors: Agustin Fitri
Published: July 2017

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.4.2.97-109This paper analyzed the mineral maps of AlOH bearing minerals and iron oxide using ASTER imagery in Tick Hill, Mount Isa, northwestern part of Queensland, as a guide for mapping the regolith unit within the area. Tick Hill is part of the Proterozoic Eastern and Western Fold Belt Province (Mount Isa Inlier Complex) covered by Mesozoic and Paleozoic lithologies and dominated by medium to coarse hornblende-biotite granite and gneiss; both of which intruded during 1760 - 1720 Ma. Highly weathered landforms cover the whole area. The Mesozoic sediments have experienced deep weathering, and currently present in the form of mesas. The weathering profiles are dominated by kaolinite, smectite, and pedogenic carbonates with some secondary silicification. Part of the landform is covered by colluvium varying in thickness from less than 1 m up to 12 m in certain places. Digital image processing has been done to ASTER imagery, i.e: calibrating, mosaicing, and band ratioing and false colour RGB. Within these methods, iron oxide, kaolinite, AlOH, and MgOH group mineral maps have successfully been created through the ASTER imagery. Later, these mineral maps were applied to interpret the surface regolith mapping unit. In addition, field samples have been taken in regolith covered areas to validate the ASTER mineral information.

Struggling between Tradition and Modernity: A Feminist Interpretation of Yu Opera China Women
Authors: Zhang Songcun
Published: July 2017

Yu Opera China Women (some translated it into Our Company, pinyin: Xiāng Hún Nǚ) (2000) has been well received by audiences for its simple folk description, vivid characters, touching story lines, stunning stage backgrounds and exquisite stage performances. The opera describes a story of Xiangxiang and Huanhuan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, two generations of women in the reform and opening up years in the twentieth century in China. These Chinese women try to break the shackles of fate, with the strength to overcome hardships, work hard to gain wealth, and be brave to pursue true love, so it has a strong sense of feminism. However, rooted in the deep traditional Chinese culture, Xiangxiang and Huanhuan are always struggling between tradition and modernity, and they make difficult choices along with the awakening of women's consciousness.

Published: July 2017

Background: Different modalities of procedures for hypospadial repair have been described in the literature. Data about the outcome of two main different procedure of repair are scares from Iraq. The aim of this study is to compare the results of these two methods of hypospadias repairs. The present study compared two single stage hypospadias repairs, namely, tubularized incised plate (Snodgrass) repair and Mathieu’s repair.Methods: It involved 50 patients diagnosed with penile hypospadias, from March 2011 to April 2015 at the Department of Surgery, Al-Karama Teaching Hospital. After a detailed history, local examination was performed with reference to the site of meatus, shape of glans, and presence of chordee, patients were randomly assigned as Group A of 26 patients in whom Snodgrass repair was accomplished and Group B having 24 patients in whom Mathieu’s repair was performed. On follow-up, the patients were examined for the position of meatus, shape of meatus, urinary stream, urethra-cutaneous fistula, and stricture formation.Results: The results showed that the mean age of presentation was 7±6 years (range 1-13years). The mean operative time was 90±15 (75-105) minutes and 60±15 (45-75) minutes in Snodgrass and Mathieu’s repair respectively. Complications after surgery were urethero-cutaneous fistula in 2(7.69%) and 4 (16.67%), meatal stenosis in 1(3.84%) and 2(8.33%), wound infection in 4(15.38%) and 3(12.5%) cases in Snodgrass repair and Mathieu repair, respectively, wound dehiscence was equal in Snodgrass repair and Mathieu repair.Conclusions: It can be concluded that the cosmetic results were excellent with Snodgrass repair with a normal looking slit like meatus.

Published: July 2017

Background: Hip fractures are recognized to be a major public health problem. Key determinants of hip fractures include age, osteoporosis, and falls. In these determinants socioeconomic status, have not been well explored. Under eccentric loading, high bending loads occur, leading to failure of the osteosynthetis anchorage at the center of the femoral head.The introduction of the reconstruction nail has broadened the indications for the intramedullary fixation of difficult femoral fractures. The operative technique is however complicated. Some technical difficulties encountered during its use are presented together with guidance to allow these problems to be avoided.

Methods: This Study had included 47 cases which were operated by single surgeon and use of different implant (cephalomedullary nail) was randomized irrespective of fracture types and pattern. This study was done over a period of 12 months (October 2013 to October 2014) with 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months follow up. At every visit patient were assessed as per Oxford hip score. Type of implant used was PFNA, Intertan, Sirus Nail.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 65.68 (±13.55) years. Severe pain was observed among majority of the patients at one month (70.2%) which became mild (40.4%) and moderate (34%) at 3 months. Very mild pain was found in 36.2% patients at 6 months and in 61.7% at 12 months. The limping was all the time among all the patients at one month. However, the limping was found often in 46.8% at 3 months and sometimes in 57.4% at 6 months and 53.2% at 12 months. The hip score was found to be severe among all the patients at one month. However, moderate to severe hip was in 46.8% patients at 3 months, mild to moderate was in 57.4% at 6 months and satisfactory joint function was in 68.1% at 12 months. The comparison of Hip score according to long or short nail at one 3, 6 and 12 months showed no difference.

Conclusions: Cephalomedullary nails with adequate technique so that the lag screws by purchase in the centre-centre or posterior-inferior quadrant combines the benefit of sliding hip screw as well as intramedullary implants. So we recommend the use of cephalomedullary nails in proximal femur fractures especially the unstable fractures.

Published: July 2017

With the rapid growth of a number of elderly people around the world, an increasing need has arisen in providing physical security to them. Researchers have been working in developing such monitoring systems for the past decades. However, the needs of elderly people and their families are yet to be fulfilled, especially since the developed existing systems need their users to change their lifestyles. This work aims at suggesting a system for monitoring the occupancy of an elderly person on the bed. Capacitive proximity sensing system has been proven to be a probable solution for indoor localization, which senses the presence of a human body. Nevertheless, the requirements for installation are many, which make the integration costly. In this paper, a flexible and integrated solution is proposed that makes use of inexpensive, open source hardware, allowing indoor localization and fall detection. The bed monitoring system is made up of aluminum sheets sensor electrodes installed under the bed sheets to detect the sleeping patterns of the subject. An alarm system has been integrated into the room to enable the elderly to call for help during an emergency. Presence detector and light controlling device are installed on the floor surface to detect the mobility of the elderly and turn ON/OFF the room lights automatically. The proposed system allows elderly people to live independent living at homes with all amenities.

Turkish Chemical Industry and Environmentally Friendly Technologies
Authors: Akin A. Nilgün , Önsan Z. Ilsen
Published: July 2017

Turkey has been manufacturing chemicals for a long time, being a producer of many basic and intermediate chemicals, petrochemicals and plastics. Among ca. 6000 companies manufacturing various
chemicals, 95 are large scale, 208 are medium scale, and the rest are all small size companies. The southern coast of the Marmara Sea is the home of Turkey’s densest population and industrial centers. Most
companies in chemical industries, especially private sector companies, are situated in the Marmara Region which, therefore, also generates large amounts of solid and liquid wastes from industrial areas, along with municipal solid waste and sewage as well as air pollution from gas emissions. Large scale industrial companies place a great deal of importance on international standards in production and comply with
environmental legislation and regulations. Although Turkey has made great progress over the last fifteen years in creating mechanisms to address its environmental problems, air and water pollution abatement problems still exist due to small scale enterprises generally using old technologies in sub-sectors including highly polluting activities such as textiles/clothing/leather, metal products/machinery/equipment, food/beverages/tobacco, forest products/furniture.

Published: July 2017

Under degraded coatings and inadequate cathodic protection (CP) steel gas pipelines exposed to environmentally assisted multiple corrosion. In  electrochemical process corrosion, dissolution of the iron is an anodic reaction. The nature of the cathodic process depends on the availability of oxygen and implies aerobics or anaerobics conditions. The most severe corrosion process is that of microbiologically influenced corrosion. Damage can be a localized corrosion or SCC corrosion (Stress corrosion cracking). Microstructural damage is intergranular type at low stress intensity and implies the interaction of the material with the corrosive environment characterized by the apparition of corrosion microcracks.

Published: July 2017

Pepper is an important horticultural crop due to its culinary as well as ornamental applications. Some Capsicum varieties build up anthocyanins in their different organs. The biosynthesis of these pigments – beside genetic determinism – depends on diverse factors such as the environment, developmental stage and type of tissue. Though anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway has been first described in the 1800s and from then on it has been well established even in species belonging to Solenaceae, information on the pathway is scarce in case of Capsicum spp. This review comprises the current knowledge on the biochemistry and molecular biology of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway.
Science anxiety levels in Emirati student teachers
Authors: Dickson Martina , McMinn Melissa , Kadbey Hanadi
Published: July 2017

Research has shown that pre-service and in-service teachers who exhibit science anxiety are less likely to teach it effectively. It is therefore critical to gauge the science anxiety levels of student teachers early while there are still possibilities, perhaps, to prevent serious issues occurring later on as a result. This study takes place in the United Arab Emirates, where Emirati science teachers are already in the vast minority. Since this is the case and teacher attrition rates are high, it is important to offer as much support to student teachers as possible. We surveyed 113 student elementary school teachers to explore their science anxiety levels. Whilst some studies have shown that science anxiety can decrease as students take science content courses, thereby theoretically gaining confidence in science knowledge, this effect was not observed in our study except for a few aspects and only in those who had studied in the ‘science track’ at school. We also found that students educated in arts tracks in high schools had significantly higher science anxiety levels compared with those who followed science tracks.

Modifying the flipped experience to enhance the learning of calculus in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Gouia-Zarrad Rim , Gunn Cindy
Published: July 2017

A ‘flipped’ or ‘inverted’ teaching approach (Lage et al., 2000) reverses the traditional use of in- and out-ofclass time, delivering instructional input to students before class and devoting classroom time to applying this input in small group tasks. This study investigates the use of videoed lectures and attitudes to in-class activities among undergraduate students in first year Calculus classes using either a lecture-based or a ‘flipped classroom’ approach. Survey results indicate that while the majority of the students embrace the flipped experience and more specifically the in-class group work activities, they lacked the confidence in their self-learning abilities to completely part with an instructor-led class. This finding and its impact on implementing a flipped classroom supports concerns found in the literature that first- and second-year students may need more guidance from their professors before they can truly benefit from the flipped learning model of instruction.

Published: July 2017

Objetivo: identificar o conhecimento de pu�rperas sobre a episiotomia e como se deu a realiza��o dessa pr�tica no parto. M�todo: trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada em um hospital no Rio Grande do Sul. As informantes foram oito pu�rperas que vivenciaram o parto vaginal com episiotomia. Na coleta de dados, utilizou-se a t�cnica de entrevista semiestruturada com posterior an�lise tem�tica. Resultados: apontam para a falta de esclarecimento e o desconhecimento das participantes quanto ao termo episiotomia, fatores que podem influenciar o evento do parto e, ainda, a viol�ncia de g�nero que ocorre nas institui��es de sa�de, como a viol�ncia obst�trica, a qual est� perpetrada nas maternidades e, muitas vezes, n�o � percebida por quem as pratica e, tamb�m, por quem sofre essa viol�ncia. Conclus�o: Foi poss�vel perceber que as participantes possuem poucas informa��es sobre a episiotomia e notou-se que o desconhecimento das mulheres sobre essa pr�tica � fator que contribui para a realiza��o rotineira desse procedimento.

Bidding of Energy Sources and Energy Storage System in Day-ahead Markets
Authors: Alswaiti Mustafa , Alawami Ali
Published: July 2017

In this work, the Pumped Storage Unit (PSU) is proposed to be integrated with wind-thermal generation system owned by a company whose aim is to maximize its profit through optimal self-scheduling of its units by finding the best bidding strategy in day-ahead energy market. The mathematical formulation of the scenario based unit-commitment and coordinated trading problem is formulated as a stochastic mixed integer linear program. The formulation takes into account several uncertain parameters; such as the wind power generation, energy market prices, and imbalances up/down prices. The expected total profit obtained from energy trading with and without coordinating pumped storage system (PSS) with thermal-wind generation system were compared, and a significant improvement in profit resulted from coordination was observed. Furthermore, coordination between PSS and wind-thermal generation improve the conditional value at risk (CVaR) which monitors the biding risk level.
Interannual Variability and Seasonal Predictability of Wind and Solar Resources
Authors: Krakauer Nir Y. , Cohan Daniel S.
Published: July 2017

Solar and wind resources available for power generation are subject to variability due to meteorological factors. Here, we use a new global climate reanalysis product, Version 2 of the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2), to quantify interannual variability of monthly-mean solar and wind resource from 1980 to 2016 at a resolution of about 0.5 degrees. We find an average coefficient of variation (CV) of 11% for monthly-mean solar radiation and 8% for windspeed. Mean CVs were about 25% greater over ocean than over land, and, for land areas, were greatest at high latitude. The correlation between solar and wind anomalies was near zero in the global mean, but markedly positive or negative in some regions. Both wind and solar variability were correlated with values of climate modes such as the Southern Oscillation Index and Arctic Oscillation, with correlations in the Northern Hemisphere generally stronger during winter. We conclude that reanalysis solar and wind fields could be helpful in assessing variability in power generation due to interannual fluctuations in the wind and solar resource. Skillful prediction of these fluctuations seems to be possible, particularly for certain regions and seasons, given persistence or predictability of climate modes with which these fluctuations are associated.
Comparison of Fractional Order Derivatives Computational Accuracy - Right Hand vs Left Hand Definition
Authors: Brzeziński Dariusz W.
Published: July 2017

Numerical computation of fractional order derivatives and integrals can be done by applying many approaches. They include Riemann-Liouville and Caputo formulas. Both formulas include fractional order integration and integer order differentiation but in a different order: fractional order integration can be preceded by integer order differentiation or it can be done in the reverse order. In the paper we apply both formulas for FOD computation and investigate if an application of a particular order have any advantages, e.g. resulting in higher accuracy. The outcome of the experiment is that by applying adequately selected formula of FOD computation according to the shape of a particular function, the accuracy of computation can often be increased. Application of Riemann-Liouville formula enables successful FOD computation for functions which nth
derivative does not exist.
Large solutions for cooperative logistic systems: existence and uniqueness in star-shaped domains
Authors: Maire Luis
Published: July 2017

We extend Theorem 1.1 of [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 435 (2016), 1738-1752] to show the uniqueness of large solutions for the system of (1) in star-shaped domains. This result is due to the maximum principle for cooperative systems of [J. López-Gómez and M. Molina-Meyer, Diff. Int. Eq. 7 (1994), 383-398], which allows us to establish the uniqueness without invoking to the blow-up rates of the solutions.
Corte Constitucional da Colômbia e os direitos dos casais homossexuais: um passo de cada vez?
Authors: Campos Carlos Alexandre de Azevedo
Published: July 2017

A Corte Constitucional colombiana é uma das cortes mais ativistas do mundo em matéria de direitos fundamentais. Não obstante, no tocante ao reconhecimento dos direitos de casais homossexuais, a Corte tem sido mais autocontida, realizando uma jurisprudência que pode ser caracterizada apenas como gradualmente progressista. Fatores como a oposição de movimentos religiosos e a ausência de uma opinião pública mais favorável podem explicar esse comportamento menos ativista comparado ao padrão adjudicatório da Corte.
Comunidad acústica e identidad sónica. Una perspectiva crítica sobre el paisaje sonoro contemporáneo
Authors: Pisano Leandro
Published: July 2017

Este artículo plantea una perspectiva crítica al paisaje sonoro contemporáneo en base al cuestionamiento de algunas categorías tradicionales que han orientado la interpretación del concepto en los estudios sonoros de los últimos decenios. El artículo se centra en los proyectos Calitri Temporary Orchestra y here. now. where?. El análisis de estos estudios de caso implica un compromiso crítico con las complejas nociones de "comunidad sónica" e "identidad acústica", y la propuesta de un posible "enfoque post-digital" para el paisaje sonoro.
