Authors: Forigua Quicasán Diana , Fonseca Forero Nidia , Vasquez Olga Yaneth
Published: June 2017

Los drenajes ácidos de mina (DAM) son vertimientos con bajo pH, alta concentración de metales y sulfato. Son considerados el mayor problema ambiental de la industria minera y prevenir su formación es la mejor alternativa ambiental y económica. En este estudio, se evaluó el compost de champiñón como enmienda de carbono orgánico para prevenir la formación de DAM. Se construyeron tres celdas en tubos de PVC (2,4 L), llenas con 300 g de mezcla de compost de champiñón y estéril de carbón en diferentes proporciones (40:60, 25:70, 60:40) y 400 mL de agua (18,5Ω). Los cambios químicos en el lixiviado, así como la actividad microbiana en las mezclas fueron monitoreados durante 6 semanas. En  los lixiviados el oxígeno disuelto (< 2,0 mg L-1) y potencial de óxido reducción (< -100 mV) disminuyeron, mientras el pH (> 6,5) y la alcalinidad (> 1.500 mg CaCO3 L-1) incrementaron.  Además, todas las mezclas fueron eficientes en precipitar los metales (Fe2+ > 95%; Mn2+ > 96%; Zn2+ > 52%) y remover sulfato (> 50%). Sin embargo, en la celda que contenía una proporción de compost y estéril de 25:75 se observó una producción significativa de sulfuro y una mayor actividad microbiana, indicando la presencia de bacterias sulfato-reductoras. Los resultados muestran que el compost de champiñón puede ser utilizado como enmienda orgánica de carbón para contrarrestar la formación de DAM y que la mezcla 25:75 puede ser una opción promisoria para usar en campo en el Distrito minero de Zipaquirá (Colombia).

Published: June 2017

El fósforo es un elemento esencial para el cultivo de café, sin embargo la mayoría de los suelos en Colombia presentan niveles bajos de este nutriente. La presencia de microorganismos solubilizadores de fosfatos (MSF) es una de las estrategias para suplir su demanda, en ese sentido se aislaron 26 bacterias rizosféricas de Typic melanudans de Cajibío (Cauca, Colombia), en tres agroecosistemas: café sin sombra, café con sombra y relicto de bosque secundario, evaluándoles la eficiencia solubilizadora de P (ESF) en Ca-P, Al-P, Fe-P en medios Pikovskaya sólido y líquido, obteniendo la secuencia de solubilización Ca-P > Al-P > Fe-P. Los dos aislamientos bacterianos con mayor ESF se identificaron por extracción del ADN y análisis del gen 16S rRNA como Kocuria sp, y Bacillus subtilis. Posteriormente se cuantificaron e identificaron los ácidos orgánicos presentes en las tres fuentes de fosforo por HPLC, siendo ellos los ácidos cítrico, glucónico, D- y L-málico, D- y L-láctico con mayor presencia en Ca-P- Kocuria sp. En todas las condiciones, se observó que ocurrió acidificación de los medios, siendo más fuerte en Fe-P y Al-P.

Authors: Gong Hyung Youn , Park Sang Hyun , Seo Yong Han , Chung Jin Hun
Published: June 2017

Percutaneous arterial catheterization is a widely used technique for continuous hemodynamic monitoring and arterial blood gas analysis. There are various complications such as hemorrhage, hematoma, infection, and thrombosis. We performed a catheterization procedure to confirm that the lateral circulation of the radial artery was sufficient. The arterial blood pressure waveform was damped after catheterization. Immediately after removal of the catheter, ultrasonography and Doppler were used to confirm the formation of total thrombus in the radial artery. A thrombus was found in the radial artery and disappeared at 3 days postoperatively.

Authors: Marchionatti Avancini Cesar Augusto , Corrêa Both Jane Mari
Published: June 2017

Justificativa e Objetivos: os Staphylococcus aureus resistentes a meticilina (MRSA) estão envolvidos em infecções nosocomiais (HA-MRSA), em infecções adquiridas na comunidade (CA-MRSA), nos animais de companhia e em animais para produção de alimentos (LA-MRSA). Na conduta para o controle da sua transmissão, a ação sobre os agentes causais presentes nas superfícies dos ambientes exige atenção, sendo decisiva a escolha de desinfetantes e anti-sépticos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade bactericida, sobre 21 isolados MRSA e bactéria controle, dos compostos químicos hipoclorito de sódio (HS), iodofór (I) e quaternário de amônio (QAC - cloreto de cetil trimetilamônio), usados rotineiramente em ambientes hospitalares e igualmente nos de produção e saúde animal, bem como testar hipótese da possibilidade de resistência cruzada entre antibióticos e desinfetantes. Métodos: pelo teste de suspensão, usando densidade populacional inicial dos inóculos em 107UFC/mL, avaliou-se a atividade bactericida de quatro diluições sucessivas dos desinfetantes, nos tempos de contato de cinco, 15 e 30 minutos. Resultados: observou-se que os desinfetantes nas concentrações HS 25 ppm, I 12,5 ppm e QAC 125 ppm, aos cinco minutos de contato, foram suficientes para inativar a bactéria de referência S. aureus ATCC 6538 e todos os MRSA. Conclusão: controlados os fatores que interferem na eficácia dos desinfetantes, o hipoclorito de sódio, o iodofor e o quaternário de amônio são adequados para controlar os MRSA nas fontes de infecção, e que nos isolados resistentes ao antibiótico meticilina não foi observada relação de resistência com os estes compostos químicos.

Authors: Kayumova Elvira Rimatovna
Published: June 2017

The article characterizes folk music traditions of Kriashens, the Christianized Tatars of the Volga-Ural region. The author focuses on materials collected during an expedition in 2013 to the Mamadysh region of Tatarstan, Russia. Recordings of music and poetry samples, notation, transcription of verbal texts, and photographs were made by the author. The author presents remarks on the genre structure of the material (including lore associated with calendric rites and divination; life cycle rites; game and dance songs; childlore; religious lore as well as the instrumental musical tradition) and discusses the current state of the Mamadyshsky Kriashen tradition. In the villages of Vladimirovo, Iukachi, Ziuri and Komarovka the core of the folk music tradition is mainly composed of ritual songs. In the village of Nikiforovo, liturgical chants (a folk version of Orthodox prayers) tend to dominate the tradition.
Evolución histórica y geomorfología de las explotaciones salineras en marismas mareales. Ejemplos de la bahía de Cádiz
Authors: Gracia Prieto F Javier , Alonso Villalobos Carlos , Abarca Juan Manuel
Published: June 2017

En el presente trabajo se expone una síntesis de los conocimientos actuales sobre el origen y el desarrollo histórico de las salinas de la bahía de Cádiz. Los datos geoarqueológicos indican que probablemente las primeras salinas se construyeron en la zona en época fenicia, si bien su desarrollo parece que fue mayor en época romana, favorecido por un aumento en las tasas de sedimentación en las marismas de la zona. Existen en la actualidad muy pocos restos de huellas antiguas de explotación, debido a la continua reutilización que se ha hecho de estas estructuras a lo largo de los siglos. La ubicación de las salinas está en parte controlada por la distribución de las tasas de sedimentación que se registran en la marisma, las cuales están condicionadas por la geometría de los canales mareales. Tras la última fase de expansión salinera, en el s. XIX, las salinas de la bahía de Cádiz han sufrido un progresivo abandono y degradación, debido tanto a actuaciones humanas (relleno para usos agrícolas, viarios, industriales o urbanísticos) como a procesos naturales (sedimentación arenosa eólica, erosión por la aceleración de los flujos mareales, etc.). Sin embargo, a pesar de su deterioro, en la actualidad su preservación como paisaje antrópico de interés patrimonial podría estar asegurado por la pertenencia al Parque Natural de la Bahía de Cádiz y por estar ubicadas dentro del dominio público marítimo-terrestre.
AVALIAÇÃO DOS EFEITOS DO PROCESSAMENTO SOBRE O POTENCIAL ANTIOXIDANTE DE NOVOS PRODUTOS
Authors: Leite Gabriela Guedes , Silva Brenda Nicolly Ribeiro , Santos Elândia Aparecida dos , Alves Michelle Rosa Andrade , Régis Wiliam César Bento
Published: June 2017

Sabe-se da importância do consumo de alimentos com propriedades antioxidantes, pela constante exposição da população aos fatores que contribuem para o desenvolvimento de radicais livres e que consequentemente levam ao aumento no desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas no mundo moderno. Sendo assim, os produtos aqui descritos foram criados com a finalidade de terem alto teor antioxidante, mantendo suas características sensoriais. Este estudo objetivou analisar quais os tipos de processamento em que um alimento é submetido que preservarão o teor antioxidante do alimento pronto para consumo, foram analisados produtos desenvolvidos à base de pequi, açaí e cogumelo. Foi realizada revisão bibliográfica sobre o efeito dos métodos de cocção nos produtos desenvolvidos no Laboratório de Técnica Dietética da PUC – Minas Gerais. Observou-se que o método de cocção (sendo o maior interferente, os que empregam calor úmido) e tempo em que os alimentos ficam expostos a elevadas temperaturas influenciam consideravelmente o teor de compostos antioxidantes nos mesmos. Sendo assim, métodos em que não há o emprego de calor úmido e/ou que são menos expostos ao binômio tempo/temperatura, são os mais viáveis e recomendados para preservar os compostos antioxidantes. Podendo ainda citar como o melhor método de conservação das propriedades nutricionais, a liofilização.

Diagnostic value OF oct-angiography AND regional hemodynamic assesSment in patients with retinal vein occlusion
Authors: Tultseva Svetlana N. , Astakhov Yury S. , Rukhovets Aleksey G. , Titarenko Aleksandra I.
Published: June 2017

Introduction. Ischemic maculopathy is the main cause of irreversible vision loss due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Fluorescein angiography (FA), which is the gold standard for evaluating retinal capillary plexuses, does not allow for the visualization of separate intraretinal capillary networks. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-angiography) enables the possible visualization of four capillary plexi and allows for the quantitative analysis of microcirculation to quantitatively estimate capillary network density and non-perfusion areas.

Aim. To investigate microcirculation changes using OCT-angiography data and to compare the changes with opthalmoplethysmography indices in patients with RVO.

Material and methods. The study included 12 patients with RVO. In all patients, a routine ophthalmic examination was performed, and ocular blood flow was estimated using FA, OCT-angiography, and ophthalmoplethysmography.

Results. Ischemia in the macular area was detected in four patients (25%) according to FA results, and in eight (67%) accor ding to OCT-angiography data. Compared with the unaffected eye, significant decrease in the density of both superficial and deep capillary plexuses as well as a decrease in flow area and enlargement of foveal avascular zone were observed. A significant close direct correlation was established between capillary density in the superficial capillary plexus (r 0.8) and the deep capillary plexus (r 0.7), choroidal thickness, and opthalmoplethysmography indices (r 0.6).

Conclusion. Compared with FA, OCT-angiography is a more sensitive method to detect macular capillary perfusion. In cases with RVO, the combination of the above mentioned methods with ophthalmoplethysmography allows for the comprehensive evaluation of regional hemodynamics.

Del mat-building a la ciudad en el espacio
Authors: Domingo Calabuig Débora , Castellanos Gómez Raúl , Torres Cueco Jorge
Published: June 2017

Mat-building es un tipo de edificio de baja altura y gran densidad característico de la arquitectura europea de los años 60 y 70. El término es acuñado por Alison Smithson y su paradigma es la Freie Universität en Berlín de Candilis, Josic y Woods. Basado en un riguroso orden interno y una indeterminación en la forma, el proyecto del mat-building es una cuestión de combinatoria. En España, Rafael Leoz y Ricardo Bofill demuestran la utilidad de este modo de proyectar para la edificación en altura. Este artículo estudia cómo estas experiencias prefiguran algunos aspectos clave de la arquitectura contemporánea.
Bolonia, Lercaro y la revista Chiesa e Quartiere. Una conversación con Glauco y Giuliano Gresleri
Authors: Fernández-Cobián Esteban
Published: June 2017

El nombramiento de Giacomo Lercaro como arzobispo de Bolonia en 1952 provocó una revolución en el ámbito de la arquitectura sacra. Congresos, exposiciones, la edición de una importante revista, más de medio centenar de iglesias construidas en los suburbios, y sobre todo, la invitación a que Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier y Kenzo Tange proyectaran iglesias para la ciudad, permitió que una década más tarde la experiencia boloñesa alcanzara resonancia mundial. Un pequeño equipo de arquitectos muy jóvenes, entre los que se encontraban los hermanos Giuliano y Glauco Gresleri, consiguió que Bolonia se convirtiera en un laboratorio de la nueva arquitectura católica del siglo XX.

Aldo Rossi en Sevilla: los primeros viajes (1975-1978)
Authors: Sainz Gutiérrez Victoriano
Published: June 2017

El presente artículo quiere establecer la cronología y las circunstancias de los primeros viajes a Sevilla de Aldo Rossi en la segunda mitad de la década de 1970. En esas estancias sevillanas del arquitecto milanés se originó un doble influjo: de una parte, se difundieron entre los arquitectos locales las ideas rossianas sobre la arquitectura y la ciudad; de otra, el propio Rossi pudo profundizar en la cultura y la arquitectura andaluzas. Ese conocimiento no tardaría en convertir a Sevilla en lugar de memoria y en fuente de ‘objetos de afecto’ para sus personalísimas arquitecturas.
Del juego formal al diagrama de funciones: experiencias en rascacielos soviéticos y norteamericanos
Authors: Larripa Artieda Víctor
Published: June 2017

El artículo narra el origen de una de las estrategias de proyecto que aportó la modernidad: el diagrama de funciones. Para ello se analiza el momento en que los pioneros viraron desde sus primeros experimentos formales abstractos hacia posiciones mucho más funcionalistas y objetivas basadas en el programa y en la construcción, no ya en la forma. En concreto, el discurso profundiza en el desarrollo del tipo arquitectónico del rascacielos por ser un claro ejemplo de aquellas experiencias. De hecho, el tipo del rascacielos y la estrategia del diagrama comparten una trayectoria histórica y cultural similar: ambos fueron inventados en Estados Unidos, reformulados por las vanguardias soviéticas y europeas en los años veinte, y exportados de nuevo a América en los treinta. De estas vicisitudes se hace eco el artículo, que termina explicando la torre PSFS como colofón: diseñado por un arquitecto americano y un arquitecto europeo, este es el primer rascacielos de la segunda generación edificado en Norteamérica y supone uno de los primeros ejemplos donde se utilizó el diagrama como estrategia.
El vacío como elemento ordenador del espacio construido en las universidades laborales: la plaza o patio central y los otros patios
Authors: Robles Cardona Miguel Ángel
Published: June 2017

Las Universidades Laborales nacen con el objetivo de formar a las nuevas generaciones de trabajadores para el desarrollo industrial que se iniciaba en España en los años cincuenta. Llegarían a ser veintiún centros repartidos por todo el país, promovidos por el Estado y diseñados por arquitectos elegidos entre las figuras de máximo prestigio nacional del momento, abarcando su construcción desde 1945 hasta 1976. En el conjunto de proyectos, el vacío destaca por su valor estructurante, bien a modo de plaza o patio de bordes definidos, de explanada o patio abierto o semiabierto, o de intersticios que relacionan unos edificios con otros.
Las casas-cuartel de la Guardia Civil durante la II República y el franquismo: la desconocida labor de un grupo de arquitectos
Authors: Pinzón Ayala Daniel
Published: June 2017

Este artículo pretende sacar a la luz los nombres del primer grupo de arquitectos nombrados por la Guardia Civil que, desde la República y durante el Franquismo, procedieron a la consolidación tipológica de la casa-cuartel. Esta iniciativa estatal se basó en unos modelos tipo que, con el paso de los años, fueron personalizados por cada arquitecto, generando un interesante abanico de soluciones. La trascendencia de este colectivo así como de su producción ha sido nula, a pesar de constituir uno de los impulsos constructivos más significativos en la historia del Cuerpo.

The influence of methylprednisolone on the ability of CD4+CD95+HLA-DR+ T-cells to produce proinflammatory medators in cultures of TCR-activated CD3+CD45RO+ T-lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Todosenko N.M. , Khaziakhmatova O.G. , Yurova K.A. , Malinina I.P. , Litvinova L.S.
Published: June 2017

The effect of different concentrations of the glucocorticoid (GC) methylprednisolone (MP) on CD4+CD95+HLA-DR+ T-cells and their ability to produce proinflammatory mediators in cultures of TCR-stimulated CD3+CD45RO+ T-lymphocytes in the in vitro system was investigated. T cells were obtained from healthy donors and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Under conditions of TCR-activation, MP increased the number of CD4+HLA-DR+CD95+ cells in CD3+CD45RO+ cultures obtained from RA patients and did not change their content in the control group. In general, MP decreased production of proinflammatory factors (IFN-, IL-2, IL-17, IL-21 and TNF-) by TCR-activated CD3+CD45RO+ cells from healthy donors and RA, consistent with the overall immunosuppressive mechanism of GC action. The correlation between CD4+CD45RO+HLA-DR+CD95+ T-cell contents and parameters reflecting production of proinflammatory mediators (IL-17, IL-21 and TNF-) in RA patients indicates maintenance of the pro-inflammatory potential of this T-cell population exposed to GC action. We suggest that relative resistance of CD4+CD45RO+CD95+HLA-DR+ T-cells of RA patients to the suppressor effect of GC leads to maintenance and even enhancement in the functional capacities of autoreactive cells in the pathogenesis of RA.

Published: June 2017

The content of the amino acids in the placenta during physiological pregnancy and fetal growth restriction (FGR) has been investigated my means of the method of ion-exchange chromatography. It has been found that in FGR the placental amino acid pool is characterized by a decreased content of arginine, proline, alanine, serine, cysteine, methionine, tryptophan, leucine, threonine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, glutamine and an increased content of dicarboxylic amino acids, lysine, histidine and glycine. These changes are accompanied by altered activity of some enzymes of amino acid metabolism, and the degree of these changes correlates with the level of corresponding amino acids.
The Generation Z and their Social Media Usage: A Review and a Research Outline
Authors: Prakash Yadav Gyan , Rai Jyotsna
Published: June 2017

The paper tries to explore the awareness of how the present Generation Z is using the social media as well as to review its repercussion on them as an individual’s, organization and society as a system. The paper demarcates Generation Z from other branches of generation with a systematized differentiation in the behaviour, principles and choices which are constant over the time. It outlines their social media usage and intra-generational difference springing from environmental factors and personal factors. Personal factors are divided into steady and driving factors. The paper brings forward how the futuristic Generation Z’s use of social media influences them as an individual’s, organization and society. It also attempts to bring forward certain managerial repercussions and to them and a research outline. Earlier researches on access of social media by Generation Y as well as Generation Z give rise to certain queries which are yet to be answered. They laid focus mainly on the US & UK, ignoring other regions and countries (including nation like India which comprises of 28% of youths) with huge and rapidly increasing share of Generation Y’s & Z’s populations; and where the determinants of social-media usability would vary considerably; the customer set under these studies are those whose behaviour are inclined to vary as they move on the different phases of their life cycle; they tried to understand Generation Z’s social media use but misses to look at the controllers as well as aftermaths of social-media usage. The theoretical frame of reference brought forward in this paper harvests a thorough set of investigation questions and designs the pathway for considering the predecessors & outcomes of social networking used by Gen Z. It tries to identify certain ignored queries regarding Gen Z’s and their social media usability, along with also sketches practical insights for various decision makers.

Cloud Adoption: Linking Business Needs with System Measures
Authors: Gupta Shikha , Saini A. K.
Published: June 2017

Cloud has become an inevitable utility for organizations to leverage their IT resources and processes. It has reached a level from innovation to diffusion to adoption. Organizations are looking towards cloud adoption as a solution to decrease their IT over budgets and also to concentrate more on their core business activities. The cloud has changed the entire IT usage scenario. It has changed the IT usage from self-owned IT resource utilization to rented pay per use as a utility. Though cloud adoption brings with it lots of opportunities and benefits, there are issues which surface its adoption and the companies which take an informed decision after weighing all the issues surrounding the adoption are able to sustain in a better way than those companies which adopt cloud uninformed. The study attempts to analyze the link between business needs and system measures from three perspectives: Technology, Business Needs and Economic Factors and proposes a theoretical framework based on IT adoption theories.

Authors: Agarwal Divya , Singholi Ajay K. S. , Bharti Pushpendra S.
Published: June 2017

With the growing trend of robotics, curiosity in exoskeletons field has increased speedily. People with disabilities suffer from many social and mental pressures due to exclusion from society just for being different from normal human beings. Hence, the usage and purpose of robotic technology trims down this segregation and promote vocational incorporation. Having attempts made for the last five decades, researchers still face many challenges in the field of exoskeletons. Exoskeletons are used not only to provide movement to the user but to enhance the motion of disabled limb also. Therefore both humans and exoskeletons maintain a symbiotic relationship. Challenge for researchers is to offer precise and accurate performing exoskeleton with negligible chances of failure for human operator. In this review article, authors attempt to highlight significant advances in the field of upper-limb exoskeletons, challenges pertaining to them and aims at suggesting concrete solutions to the difficulties encountered so far.
Impact of Demonetization on Indian Economy
Authors: Chopra Rajiv
Published: June 2017

This paper analyses the short term costs and medium term benefits of demonetization and its Impact on the growth of various sectors of an economy where significant cash transactions are involved. It is evident from observed data that the impact of demonetization on Gross Value Added growth was modest. Although the Gross Value Added contracted marginally, it is projected to be positive in coming years. In the beginning it negatively impacted the segments of manufacturing and service sector showing the downward movement in various markets such as automobiles, consumer, real estate etc. Later with the remonetization and lower lending rates the growth of an economy has been recovering fast through increase in private consumption, disposable income and affordable loan. With digitization economy is moving towards cashless society and will bring more transparency in the system reducing tax evasion thereby curbing the use of black money for illegal activities and terror funding.
Changing Climatic Patterns and its Impact on Apple Production and Productivity in Himachal Pradesh
Authors: Mohan Chander
Published: June 2017

Himachal Pradesh (H.P) is next only to Jammu and Kashmir in the production of apple in India. Horticulture in general and apple in particular has emerged as the backbone of Himachal Economy. Apple, being a temperate fruit is grown in the high altitude regions and in Himachal Pradesh almost all the districts, except Una, apple production takes place in various magnitudes. As Hills are early indicators of climate change, any significant change in climatic pattern would definitely have cascading effect on the hill economies like Himachal Pradesh. Since, a considerable part of Gross state domestic product (GSDP) and employment comes from that subsector of the hill economy, it is important to study how it is affected by changing climatic patterns. This paper is an attempt to quantify the impact of changing climatic patterns on the production and productivity of apple in H.P using the empirical methods.

Published: June 2017

Plagiarism is becoming a straw man. Always ceasing author, writer, artist, architects, programmers, students and other creative people for presenting their views in the form of research paper, article, book and in other forms. Writing a research paper scholarly in challenge for the researchers, who have threat that they may be proved plagiarized. Hence the area has come up as hot cake topic of discussion. In this research paper data is collected for selected Indian universities at Delhi and the result comes out is really shocking which make future of research in question mark? As the tools used to measures the plagiarism is still at infancy stage and the biggest acceptable tool for measuring research is turn tin which itself need repair as per demand of various researchers. Case of Melania Trump and Michella Obama and many other Great mighties since Shakespeare to Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and including famous film makers, lyricist, higher education dignitaries and Vice Chancellors have been alleged of this crime. Plagiarism is measuring tool for academic corruption and dishonesty with breach of Journalistic ethics it is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the demonstration of them as one's possess original work. As per Indian government law it is crime under copy right and intellectual property right including IT Act 2000 (Information Technology Act). Punishment is different in different country as per their legal laws. This Research paper proposes to discuss the various factors involved in plagiarism and researcher should know about it before writing something public. The intention behind this paper is to caution to new researchers and to provide suggestions to great scholars to make themselves safe from being plagiarized. Optimum uses of turn tin application and mistakes made by researchers are discussed in this research paper.

Published: June 2017

В последние годы существенно возрос интерес российских сельхозпроизводителей к различным вариантам энергосберегающих технологий, таких как система нулевой обработки почвы (No-till). Сущность таких технологий состоит в обеспечении производства конкурентоспособной продукцией при целенаправленном использовании регулируемых человеком факторов.Проведенные авторами исследования заключались в изучении влияния технологии No-till с применением комплекса препаратов и комплексных минеральных удобрений на урожайность и качество зерна яровой пшеницы. На основе проведенных исследований авторами были выявлены наиболее эффективные комбинации препаратов при проведении некорневых подкормок, проведена экономическая оценка использования данных видов препаратов и удобрений в условиях прямого посева.Результаты исследований позволили авторам рассчитать экономическую эффективность возделывания яровой пшеницы при внедрении технологии No-till с применением комплекса препаратов и комплексных минеральных удобрений. Применение удобрений, стимуляторов роста и биопрепаратов в виде некорневых подкормок в технологиях No-till увеличивают урожайность яровой пшеницы при проведении одной подкормки на 1,3-19,5 %, а при проведении двух подкормок на 8,1-40,0%, и повышают содержание клейковины на 0,4-5,8% при проведении одной подкормки и на 1,0-12,1% – двух подкормок. Величина условного чистого дохода при использовании одной некорневой подкормки в зависимости от вариантов составила от 599,6 до 2696,6 рублей с гектара. При проведении двух подкормок величина условного чистого дохода по вариантам опыта составила от 451,6 до 6473,3 рубля с гектара.Предложения по возделыванию яровой пшеницы в технологиях No-till могут быть использованы при разработке системы удобрения зерновых культур для получения продукции с низкой себестоимостью и с высоким качеством.

Published: June 2017

В связи с ужесточением экономических санкций со стороны западных государств Российское правительство вынуждено было прибегнуть к ответным мерам. В сложившейся экономической ситуации обеспечение продовольственной безопасности страны все в большей степени связывается с импортозамещением. Решение проблемы импортозамещения является задачей многогранной и многоэтапной, находящейся в прямой зависимости от уровня развития отечественного сельскохозяйственного производства, взаимосвязанного в свою очередь с решением проблемы развития сельских территорий.Обострение экономических проблем в России требует выработки адекватной, всесторонней и эффективной продовольственной политики, предусматривающей систему мер, направленных на повышение эффективности агропромышленного производства и конкурентоспособности отечественной продукции. Проведенное исследование позволило проанализировать основные проблемы функционирования предприятий АПК России на современном этапе; обострившиеся угрозы продовольственной безопасности; раскрыть барьеры импортозамещения. Предложены мероприятия по государственной поддержке приоритетных направлений реализации продовольственной политики.

Published: June 2017

Objetivo: Compreender a visão do enfermeiro sobre a utilização do protocolo de Manchester e a população usuária na classificação de risco de uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento (UPA). Método: Estudo de caso qualitativo fundamentado na Sociologia Compreensiva do Cotidiano; utilizou-se a entrevista aberta com 12 enfermeiros que realizam a classificação de risco. Resultados: Há uma inversão de fluxo de usuários entre a rede básica e os serviços de urgência/emergência o que resulta em superlotação da UPA e sobrecarga de trabalho, advinda da falta de informação e comunicação eficaz do Sistema de Saúde (público-privado) para que os usuários conheçam a real função de um atendimento de urgência/emergência, e das fragilidades na gestão da UPA. Conclusão: Apesar dos desafios para concretização da classificação de risco como uma estratégia acolhedora e equânime das demandas, o protocolo de Manchester trouxe segurança para a prática e qualidade da atenção prestada.

Przestrzenne zróżnicowanie przemian demograficznych w Polsce w latach 2002‒2011
Authors: Kurek Sławomir
Published: June 2017

Współczesne procesy demograficzne w Polsce można rozpatrywać w kontekście procesów suburbanizacji zmierzających do koncentracji ludności w zewnętrznej części obszarów metropolitalnych oraz w aspekcie teorii drugiego przejścia demograficznego, prowadzących do spadku poziomu dzietności poniżej granicy zastępowalności pokoleń. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest ukazanie współczesnych przemian demograficznych w Polsce w ujęciu przestrzennym na początku XXI wieku, w szczególności w świetle zmian pomiędzy dwoma narodowymi spisami powszechnymi w Polsce (w 2002 i 2011 roku), uzupełnione statystyką bieżącą z Banku Danych Lokalnych GUS. Przeanalizowano takie zagadnienia jak: dynamika zaludnienia, przyrost naturalny, saldo migracji oraz zmiany w strukturze wieku ludności. Przeprowadzono typologię Webba dla powiatów oraz typologię struktury wieku ludności metodą typografów. Analiza wykazała dużą polaryzację przestrzenną przebiegających procesów demograficznych pomiędzy obszarami metropolitalnymi a peryferyjnymi.
Séroprévalence de la fièvre Q chez les bovins de la région de Bejaïa (Algérie)
Authors: Agag Salah , Kaidi Rachid , Khelef Djamel
Published: June 2017

La fièvre Q est une zoonose bactérienne causée par Coxiella burnetii, une bac­térie intracellulaire stricte, de répartition mondiale. Les ruminants domestiques sont le principal réservoir de la bactérie. L’objectif de cette étude a été de déter­miner la séroprévalence de la fièvre Q chez des bovins de la région de Bejaïa, au nord de l’Algérie. Un total de 180 sérums provenant de 50 élevages laitiers a été analysé par la technique Elisa (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Dix-neuf sérums provenant de 11 élevages étaient positifs, soit une prévalence indi­viduelle de 10,6 % (intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 %, 6,1 % à 15,0 %) et une séroprévalence troupeau de 22 % (IC 95 %, 10,5 % à 33,5 %). Une cor­rélation statistiquement significative a été mise en évidence entre la séropositi­vité et l’existence d’antécédents de rétention placentaire (p = 0,025), de métrites (p < 0,001) ou de retour régulier en chaleurs (p = 0,026) chez les vaches. La fièvre Q circule donc dans les élevages bovins de cette région. D’autres études sont fortement recommandées afin de mieux comprendre l’épidémiologie de cette maladie.
Facteurs de risque des pathologies génitales du post-partum chez les vaches de race croisée Holstein x Lai Sind dans les élevages familiaux de Hô Chi Minh-Ville au Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen-Kien Cuong , Hanzen Christian
Published: June 2017

Au total, 353 vêlages et périodes post-partum de 302 vaches de race croisée Holstein x Lai Sind (H x LS), élevées dans 35 élevages familiaux dans le district Cu Chi à Hô Chi Minh-Ville au Vietnam, ont été observés pour analyser les facteurs de risque de rétention placentaire, de dystocie et d’endométrite clinique. Les vaches ont été examinées par échographie et par vaginoscopie entre le 21e jour post-partum et la première insé­mination (109 jours en moyenne). Les primipares ont eu 1,7 fois plus de risque de dystocie que les multipares (respective­ment 29,9 % vs 20,4 % ; p < 0,05). La fréquence de dysto­cie a été six fois plus élevée en 2014 (40,6 %) qu’en 2013 (10,1 %) (odds ratio [OR] = 6,08 ; p < 0,001). Cette fréquence a également été plus élevée pendant la saison des pluies (30,4 %) que pendant la saison sèche (17,0 %) (OR = 2,14 ; p < 0,01). La fréquence de rétention placentaire a été plus éle­vée (p < 0,01) en 2014 (21,8 %) qu’en 2013 (11,7 %). L’en­dométrite clinique post-partum a été significativement plus présente en 2014 (28,6 %) qu’en 2013 (11,7 %) (OR = 3,03 ; p = 0,001), et pendant la saison des pluies (28,8 %) que pen­dant la saison sèche (9,7 %) (OR = 3,78 ; p < 0,001). La dys­tocie et la rétention placentaire ont multiplié respectivement par 2,8 (p = 0,003) et 4,7 (p = 0,001) le risque d’endométrite clinique.
Technological Development of Fluid Control Within Metal Mold for Application to Family Mold of Resin Part

Today, many of the resin parts of automobiles are molded using the injection molding technique with high productivity. In the case of a large part, for which a mold clamping force of more than 2,000 t is needed, it is common that a piece of the part is manufactured with one metal mold and the parts with bilateral symmetry are manufactured simultaneously with a separate one. This development focuses on the advantage that productivity could be enhanced and the cost for a metal mold could be reduced by utilizing the space in the mold cavity for a large part and making another metal mold for a small part. To mold a large and small part with a large volume ratio simultaneously by using one metal mold, the fluid distribution of molten resin suitable for the volumes of both parts is necessary. Without realizing the associated fluid distribution molding defects, such as short, sink, or the like, would occur. In the case of the large part, such as a bumper, molten resin flows from the injection unit through a hot runner unit within the metal mold and subsequently, each gate into each product. To distribute the appropriate amount of resin to the large and small parts through a hot runner, the molding technique involves distribution of the fluid to each gate with an appropriate balance by controlling flow through the valve of a hot runner; this paper discusses the aforementioned technique.

Because the energy and the power of the molding machine to melt and inject the resin can be reduced by molding two deferent parts with one die, this family mold can contribute to Green production.
