Role of Beneficial Microorganisms and Salicylic Acid in Improving Rainfed Agriculture and Future Food Safety
Authors: Khan Naeem , Bano Asghari , Curá José Alfredo
Published: July 2020

Moisture stress in rainfed areas has significant adverse impacts on plant growth and yield. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) plays an important role in the revegetation and rehabilitation of rainfed areas by modulating plant growth and metabolism and improving the fertility status of the rhizosphere soils. The current study explored the positive role of PGPR and salicylic acid (SA) on the health of the rhizosphere soil and plants grown under rainfed conditions. Maize seeds of two different varieties, i.e., SWL-2002 (drought tolerant) and CZP-2001 (drought sensitive), were soaked for 4 h prior to sowing in 24-h old culture of Planomicrobium chinense strain P1 (accession no. MF616408) and Bacillus cereus strain P2 (accession no. MF616406). The foliar spray of SA (150 mg/L) was applied on 28-days old seedlings. The combined treatment of the consortium of PGPR and SA not only alleviated the adverse effects of low moisture stress of soil in rainfed area but also resulted in significant accumulation of leaf chlorophyll content (40% and 24%), chlorophyll fluorescence (52% and 34%) and carotenoids (57% and 36%) in the shoot of both the varieties. The PGPR inoculation significantly reduced lipid peroxidation (33% and 23%) and decreased the proline content and antioxidant enzymes activities (32% and 38%) as compared to plants grown in rainfed soil. Significant increases (>52%) were noted in the contents of Ca, Mg, K Cu, Co, Fe and Zn in the shoots of plants and rhizosphere of maize inoculated with the PGPR consortium. The soil organic matter, total nitrogen and C/N ratio were increased (42%), concomitant with the decrease in the bulk density of the rhizosphere. The PGPR consortium, SA and their combined treatment significantly enhanced the IAA (73%) and GA (70%) contents but decreased (55%) the ABA content of shoot. The rhizosphere of plants treated with PGPR, SA and consortium showed a maximum accumulation (>50%) of IAA, GA and ABA contents, the sensitive variety had much higher ABA content than the tolerant variety. It is inferred from the results that rhizosphere soil of treated plants enriched with nutrients content, organic matter and greater concentration of growth promoting phytohormones, as well as stress hormone ABA, which has better potential for seed germination and establishment of seedlings for succeeding crops.
W2C/WS2 Alloy Nanoflowers as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Storage
Authors: Nguyen Thang Phan , Kim Il Tae
Published: July 2020

Recently, composites of MXenes and two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have emerged as promising materials for energy storage applications. In this study, W2C/WS2 alloy nanoflowers (NFs) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. The alloy NFs showed a particle size of 200 nm–1 μm, which could be controlled. The electrochemical performance of the as-prepared alloy NFs was investigated to evaluate their potential for application as lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes. The incorporation of W2C in the WS2 NFs improved their electronic properties. Among them, the W2C/WS2_4h NF electrode showed the best electrochemical performance with an initial discharge capacity of 1040 mAh g−1 and excellent cyclability corresponding to a reversible capacity of 500 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles compared to that of the pure WS2 NF electrode. Therefore, the incorporation of W2C is a promising approach to improve the performance of LIB anode materials.

The present work introduces both synthesis of silica nanoparticles doped with CoII ions by means of differently modified microemulsion water-in-oil (w/o) and Stöber techniques and characterization of the hybrid nanoparticles (CoII@SiO2) by TEM, DLS, XRD, ICP-EOS, SAXS, UV-Vis, and UV-Vis/DR spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. The results reveal the lack of nanocrystalline dopants inside the hybrid nanoparticles, as well as no ligands, when CoII ions are added to the synthetic mixtures as CoII(bpy)3 complexes, thus pointing to coordination of CoII ions with Si-O- groups as main driving force of the doping. The UV-Vis/DR spectra of CoII@SiO2 in the range of d-d transitions indicate that Stöber synthesis in greater extent than the w/o one stabilizes tetrahedral CoII ions versus the octahedral ions. Both cobalt content and homogeneity of the CoII distribution within CoII@SiO2 are greatly influenced by the synthetic technique. The electrochemical behavior of CoII@SiO2 is manifested by one oxidation and two reduction steps, which provide the basis for electrochemical response on glyphosate and HP(O)(OEt)2 with the LOD = 0.1 μM and the linearity within 0.1–80 μM. The Stöber CoII@SiO2 are able to discriminate glyphosate from HP(O)(OEt)2, while the w/o nanoparticles are more efficient but nonselective sensors on the toxicants.

Published: July 2020

This study aimed to investigate the levels of heavy metals in the lipstick products. In general, 30 samples were randomly selected from Mashhad markets. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t test were used to compare color and price variables. Based on the results, the mean concentrations of studied elements were as follows: Cd (ND-0.52 µg/g), Cr (0.25-76.35 µg/g), Ni (ND-20.12 µg/g), Zn (ND-224.22 µg/g), Pb (ND-44.77 µg/g), and Hg (ND-0.32 µg/g). The presence of toxic metals in the samples, and on the other hand, continuous use and unintended ingestion of these metals can lead to their biological accumulation in the human body, thereby causing the development of different diseases. Hence, it deems necessary to apply suitable actions for the improvement of quality control over these products.
ANONYMOUS LETTERS OF THE 18TH СENTURY AS A FACT OF LITERATURE
Authors: Krasheninnikova Ol’ga A.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of a special genre of «people’s journalism» of the 18th century – a genre of so-called letters placed stealthily that were widely spread in Russia in the fi rst half of the 18th century and have never become the subject of special research. These rare, anonymous, preserved mainly in manuscript form monuments of literature, according to the author, can be rightfully attributed to the genre of fi ction. The article highlights the characteristic genre features of the swept letter, lists various thematic groups of such letters. As the most striking example of works in this genre the author analyses the content of the famous anonymous letter as of 1732, an outstanding work of journalism of the era of Anna Ioannovna, devoted to criticism of the Church heretics and Ernst Johann von Biron. Investigation of the 1732 letter had been conducted in the Secret Chancellery for years and came to nothing. In the text of the letter, heterogeneous in its content, the features of various literary traditions are traced – high book-biblical vocabulary and motifs coming from the traditions of the old believers accusatory and agitation literature. The most likely candidate for authorship of the letter is, according to our hypothesis, the former Director of the fi rst St. Petersburg printing house Mikhail Avramov (1681-1752), a gifted writer and publicist, associate and adherent of Archimandrite Markell Radyshevskiy (†1742), the leader of the conservative Church opposition of the fi rst third of the 18th century.
CLOTHING AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE PERSONNEL OF ARTILLERY AND ENGINEERING UNITS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE 18TH CENTURY
Authors: Benda Vladimir N.
Published: July 2020

Since the early 18th century, signifi cant changes had been made in the military organisation of Russia, after which it received, in almost all respects, a new device, borrowed, in many cases, from European states. To maintain high combat readiness and combativity of the regular army being established, it was necessary to provide it with all necessary types of allowances, including fi nances, uniforms and other belongings. The article considers some problems of organisation of providing the personnel of the Russian army, including the artillery and engineering corps, with such types of allowances as clothing and fi nances, on the basis of previously unknown archival documents stored in the Archive of the Militaryhistorical Museum of artillery, engineering troops and signal troops and other sources. Special attention is paid to the issues of providing with monetary allowances, necessary uniforms and other belongings of employees, privates, non-commissioned offi cers and offi cers of artillery and engineering units. It is concluded that the existing order of proportional formation of the
annual budget of the Department of artillery at the expense of one or another part of the income of various provinces and from other places led to chronic underfunding of Artillery Department, which, in turn, made it diffi cult to allocate funds in full for keeping and maintenance of daily life of the artillery and engineering corps. Some archival and other sources are for the fi rst time introduced in the study into scientifi c circulation.
ORGANISATIONAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT FOR REFUGEES DURING WORLD WAR I (IN A PROVINCIAL TOWN)
Authors: Frolova Irina V.
Published: July 2020

The author in the article analyses the process of formation of organisational and legal institutions during World War I on a specifi c example of a district town of Novgorod Province (Cherepovets). Local governments, including district councils (zemstvo), municipal governments and the institutions they created, played a great role in providing assistance to refugees on the level of districts (volost) and settlements. The study of Cherepovets archival documents on the refugees allows to suggest that the activities of the Committee named after Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia and the activities of the Provincial Committee of the All-Russian Urban Union were widespread here. All the events that were held at the local level initially were neither systematic nor co-ordinated, they completely depended on the local initiative because of the lack of a legislative framework for assistance to refugees in the Russian Empire during the fi rst years of the war.
The government refugee institutions were created later (summer 1915 to spring 1916), and they had the structure similar to the exisisting state administrative bodies, and they were funded by the State Treasury.

Authors: Zhezlova Svetlana A. , Yermakova Lyubov’ A. , Kaplina Margarita M.
Published: July 2020

In the last decade, the problems of pedagogic diagnostics, monitoring, self-monitoring and self-diagnosis have become the focus of academic research. Diagnostic competence is considered to be an important component of the modern professional
standard for a pedagogue. The article is devoted to the currently central problem of modern pedagogy and methodology, i.e. the development of students’ diagnostic thinking. The article presents the analysis of the views of Russian and foreign
researchers on the importance of pedagogic diagnostics in the educational process. It is underlined that the organisation of the cognitive activity by a pedagogue involves the transformation of the function of training and education into the function of educational assistance. The authors of the article expand on the concept of mutual diagnosis of students, characterizing its components and listing the skills formed during the educational process. The article summarizes the authors’ practical experience, proposes an algorithm for working with diagnostic maps in foreign language classes and analyses a set of measures to test the skills of oral and written foreign language speech. According to the researchers’ point of view, when forming diagnostic competence, a number of framework conditions must be observed and certain algorithms, followed. The authors of the article emphasise the special educational value of mutual diagnosis, which implies not only evaluating progress in performance, but also predicting cognitive problems. This technique can be applied to other disciplines of the educational programme.

Aquí se evaluaron características morfológicas y fisiológicas de Pinus engelmannii Carr. durante el preacondicionamiento, bajo cuatro condiciones ambientales (invernadero, intemperie, malla sombra y malla sombra más intemperie) y un tratamiento adicional (intemperie más un nivel de fertilización de 50 ppm de N, P y K); también se evaluó su respuesta en campo después del trasplante. Las plantas que permanecieron 2 meses en intemperie o en intemperie más fertilización presentaron los mayores incrementos (P ≤ 0.05) en biomasa radical (38 %) y biomasa total (32 %), en volumen de raíz (30 %) y en la relación parte aérea/raíz (28 %). El diámetro del tallo y la biomasa aérea fueron menos sensibles, al haber incrementado solo 18 y 6 % en los mismos tratamientos. Las plantas de los tratamientos de intemperie más fertilización y de invernadero mostraron mayores aumentos en la concentración y contenido de nutrimentos en el follaje. La concentración de nitrógeno fue 30 % mayor en el tratamiento de intemperie con fertilización, en comparación con intemperie sin fertilización; la concentración de fósforo fue 57 y 43 % y la de potasio 42 y 58 % mayor en esos tratamientos, con relación al de intemperie sin fertilización. El potencial de crecimiento radical fue mayor en el tratamiento de intemperie, con incrementos de 67 % en número, 53 % en longitud y 35 % en biomasa de raíces nuevas, con respecto al tratamiento de invernadero. Las mejores características morfológicas y fisiológicas de calidad de planta se obtuvieron cuando las plantas se preacondicionan a la intemperie durante dos meses sin fertilización. No obstante, después de 120 d en campo solo se detectaron ganancias en la tasa relativa de crecimiento (P ≤ 0.05).

Published: July 2020

O Taekwondo é uma arte marcial coreana baseada no respeito e disciplina. Como prática esportiva, a modalidade envolve diferentes fatores motivacionais o que acaba por direcionar o foco e objetivo de cada atleta durante a prática. Deste modo o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as diferenças motivacionais de praticantes iniciantes e veteranos do Taekwondo. Participaram da pesquisa 24 atletas, de um centro de treinamento de Maringá-PR, com idade entre 18 e 31 anos, sendo que 12 dos participantes eram faixas brancas e 12 faixas pretas. Como instrumento de coleta utilizou-se a Escala de Motivação para esporte II (SMS II). Os dados foram analisados por meio do programa estatístico SPSS 15.0. Para comparar as categorias do teste de motivação em relação a graduação do atleta, faixas pretas e brancas, utilizou-se o teste de Kruskal-Wallis e para ver as múltiplas comparações o teste de Tukey. Os resultados demonstram que entre os praticantes iniciantes e veteranos a motivação intrínseca (md=6,00) e motivação extrínseca indentificada (md=6,00) foram as que apresentaram maiores índices, o que demonstra que o interesse pela prática é espontâneo ou apresenta alguma interiorização. Com relação à comparação entre iniciantes e veteranos, o único fator que apresentou diferença significativa foi à desmotivação com (p=0,000) em que os praticantes de faixas brancas apresentaram-se menos desmotivados para os treinos do que os de faixa preta. Conclui-se que, dentre os dois grupos analisados, os níveis de motivação intrínseca e extrínseca, em geral, mostram-se igualados, porém, o nível de desmotivação de atletas faixas pretas encontra-se superior aos dos atletas faixas brancas iniciantes no Taekwondo. Estes dados demonstram que com o passar dos anos de treino a desmotivação pode vir a aumentar levando a evasão do esporte.

Published: July 2020

The principle of the organization of prisons (Lembaga Pemasyarakatan/ LAPAS) must prioritize a humane approach so that prisoners and prisoners receive their rights. If the implementation is good, the objective of LAPAS is to carry out social reintegration, namely the restoration of the unity of life, life and livelihood of prisoners and correctional students both prisoners as individuals, social beings and God's creatures with society can be achieved. However, this organization faces obstacles, namely the problem of overcapacity. This can have implications for suboptimal and can even lead to failure to function as a correctional institution. The problem of over capacity will also have an impact on the health conditions of prisoners. Sleep conditions, eating patterns, health services that are less than the maximum due to over capacity will certainly have a negative impact on the nutritional status of prisoners. This study aims to determine the impact of Overcapacity Impacts on the Nutritional Status Level of Prisoners in Class II A Penitentiary, Sidoarjo. This type of research is a quantitative correlational analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The number of samples was 91 inmates. The sampling technique is by random sampling. Data is collected by weighing body weight and height and comparing with ideal body weight. The results showed that the more overcapacity, the nutritional status of prisoners decreased. Room conditions can affect the provision of an unbalanced diet. Thus, that this causes the prisoners to experience malnutrition.
Étude Épistémologique De La Démonstration Par L’absurde

Le présent article a comme thème « Étude épistémologique de la démonstration par l’absurde ». Elle comporte, entre autres, l’épistémologie de la négation qui constitue la base de la démonstration par l’absurde, l’épistémologie de la démonstration par l’absurde, le lien entre la démonstration par l’absurde et d’autres types de démonstration, les types de problèmes mettant en jeu la démonstration par l’absurde et l’analyse institutionnelle de la démonstration par l’absurde. Nous avons également évoqué les conceptions de certains chercheurs sur la démonstration par l’absurde. Les questions de recherche sont libellées comme suit : Qu’est-ce que la démonstration par l’absurde en mathématique ? Existe-t-il un lien entre la démonstration par l’absurde et d’autres types de démonstration ? Existe-t-il des situations qui nécessitent l’utilisation de la démonstration par l’absurde ? Nous avons fait une classification des problèmes qui nous a permis de faire une catégorisation des types de démonstration par l’absurde à savoir les démonstrations par l’absurde directes associées aux questions fermées et les démonstrations par l’absurde indirectes associées aux questions semi-fermées (ou semi-ouvertes). L’analyse institutionnelle nous a permis de faire une revue des programmes maliens au niveau fondamental 2e cycle et au niveau de l’enseignement secondaire général. Nous terminons par une conclusion comportant nos recommandations. La typologie de la démonstration par l’absurde nous permet d’affirmer que la logique mathématique n'est pas la logique naturelle, car elle n'autorise l'esprit à porter, sur ce qui lui est présenté, que deux jugements : tenir la chose affirmée pour vraie ou pour non vraie, toute autre attitude étant exclue (le tiers exclus).
People Don’t Choose to be Paid Less: the Pay Gap
Authors: Hotine Emily
Published: July 2020

The pay gap is a topic that has become increasingly examined in recent years. Yet there are still misconceptions surrounding what it is, what causes it and how it can be remedied. When these misconceptions are corrected, it often leads to claims that the pay gap is meaningless or that it isn’t a problem in the first place, so it doesn’t need to be fixed. These analyses of the pay gap tend to be reductive and lack nuance and understanding of the wider societal context of discrimination. Through looking at the data and the research within societal and cultural contexts, we can see that the pay gap is a complex problem with many contributing factors and, as a result, it requires intervention at governmental, cultural and individual levels.

Ethno archaeological Clues to Stone Exploitation in Ancient Dangme-land, Greater Accra Region, Ghana
Authors: Biveridge Fritz
Published: July 2020

Dangme-land is naturally replete with abundant stone resources whose exploitation facilitated the peoples’ adaptation to their environment. The objective of the researcher in this paper was to investigate for what purposes the ancient indigenous Dangme populations that occupied Sega Hill, Kpone, Shai and Prampram exploited and used stones in the remote past. It also documented the techniques and methodologies utilized by the people to exploit this resource. Data for the study were derived from ethnographic and archaeological investigations and from early European sources relating to the area. The combined evidence revealed that the people of the aforementioned settlements exploited stone for a variety of purposes, such as for the construction of agricultural terraces and protective enclosures against slavers. The ethno archaeological evidence also indicated that the four principal early vocations of the people namely; fishing, crop farming, hunting and trapping were facilitated greatly by the use of a variety of tools manufactured from stone.
Documenting Simpa: Advances in language documentation
Authors: Agyeman Nana Ama
Published: July 2020

Documentary linguistics, also known as language documentation, a relatively new branch of Linguistics, advocates for the fundamental need to collect records of language use and practices in various forms from diverse genres for multiple purposes. Such purposes include language description, language development, language maintenance, and language revitalisation. Such a record of a language serves to feed not only linguistic research but also research in other disciplines, such as anthropology, history, and ethnography. Language documentation is recognized as an ultimate response to language endangerment. This paper explores language documentation with specific reference to Simpa, an under-described, minority language of Ghana. The paper reviews theories, approaches, methods, and tools of language documentation to highlight how they were employed and attuned to take care of the Simpa context. Thus, the discussion dilates on specific field methods and tools adapted for obtaining a balanced set of data from three complementary event types, viz., natural communicative events, staged communicative events, and elicitations, to build a language documentation corpus. Data processing, data annotation, and data management practices applied in building the corpus, as well as dissemination of the research outcomes are also addressed. Furthermore, fieldwork ethics used in the study are discussed. Finally, for consideration in future research, the paper reflects on some challenges that were encountered in documenting Simpa.
South Caucasus: Glocalization of the Pandemic
Authors: Iskandaryan A. M. , Mikaelian H. G.
Published: July 2020

The coronavirus pandemic has become a test of States ‘ ability to respond to external challenges. The article assesses how quarantine measures are introduced and observed in different countries of the South Caucasus-from recommendations to the introduction of a state of emergency. It also examines the consequences these measures entail for the legitimacy of power, the structure of elites, and the quality of public administration in the region. From the analytical viewpoint, the South Caucasus represents an ideal model: different measures to combat the pandemic in these countries lead to different results. In general, the ideology of fighting coronavirus is based on isolationism and alarmism. Isolationism in the South Caucasus is part of a global trend, and in some cases, manifests itself as the result of Western normative influence. Alarmism is also a necessary factor in the fight against the virus: it was panic that became the basis for the rare consolidation of society around authorities in transit countries and mass approval of strict restrictions imposed by the national governments. Unlike previous crises of the twenty-first century, the pandemic creates a demand for the competence of the authorities and the willingness to implement political decisions at the expense of the comfort and economic interests of citizens. The peculiarity of the South Caucasus is that the demands for competence caused by the pandemic followed the desire of citizens to pressure governments to fight corruption, which was the main driver of the revolutions in Armenia and Georgia. Amidst the spread of the disease, the demand for sufficient work of state institutions has come to the fore. If Georgia’s relative success in fighting the pandemic goes on, this will be another indication for the rest of the region of how important it is for the state to be “institutionally sound”.

O estudo performativo das palavras da revelação e da fé na filosofia de Jean Ladrière
Authors: Oliveira Thadeu Lopes Marques de
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar alguns aspectos da filosofia de Jean Ladriére relacionados à palavra da fé, que segundo o autor, origina-se através da revelação e é definida por ele com o adjetivo: “performativo”. Tal conceito pode ser encontrado em artigos do autor, que compõem a obra: A articulação do sentido. Antes de descrever e analisar a palavra da fé, o autor contempla a necessidade metodológica de apresentar as diferentes formas de discursos existentes à nível científico e filosófico, para posteriormente explanar as particularidades da palavra da revelação e da fé, em comparação às outras formas de linguagem descritas de antemão. Este problema está inserido no contexto de uma reflexão filosófica crítica dirigida ao pensamento científico hodierno, ocasionada pela dificuldade que um espírito marcado por suas tendências de conhecimento tem para compreender a experiência e o modo de conhecimento da fé. Através dessa reflexão, apresentada por Ladrière, acreditamos ser possível extrair elementos para compreender mais profundamente a natureza do discurso da fé e sua pertinência, bem como a possibilidade da teologia, um discurso racionalmente válido.
Dorothy Day, "mística de olhos abertos": precursora da espiritualidade laical proposta no espírito do Concílio Vaticano II
Authors: Mariani Ceci Maria Costa Baptista , Costa Henrique Matheus Biondo
Published: July 2020

A mística traz solidez à espiritualidade, uma vez que a religião ficou refém da lógica de consumo. Johann Baptist Metz denomina Dorothy Day como a “mística de olhos abertos”, a face política da mística contemporânea. A “mística de olhos abertos” é uma mística inspirada na justiça de Deus que desce e se coloca ao lado do sofredor para salvar o mundo pelo poder da compaixão, solidariedade e comunhão. Ao lado da mística contemporânea está a espiritualidade laical. Sua sistematização acontece com o Concílio Vaticano II (1962-1965) e chega até o Magistério atual com o documento sobre a santidade Gaudete et Exsultate, de 2018, do Papa Francisco. Através de metodologia bibliográfica exploratória, este artigo tem o objetivo de empreender uma reflexão sobre as características e tendências da mística contemporânea no testemunho de Dorothy Day (1897-1980). Além disso, busca-se demonstrar como Day preconiza a espiritualidade laical e a santidade em todas as dimensões da sua vida.

Authors: Ipav S S , Dasofunjo K , Sar T T , Hilary C E
Published: July 2020

The aqueous, ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Piliostigma thonningii Fabaceae (Leguminasae) – Caesalpinioidae were tested for bioactive and antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (Gram-negative) and Candida albicans (fungus). The ethanolic extracts inhibited the growth of the pathogenic organisms with zones of inhibition ranging from 6.40±0.42 mm to 10.0±0.22 mm while the aqueous and petroleum ether extracts seem to be ineffective. The leaves of Piliostigma thonningii have high concentrations of flavonoids, tannins, steroids, phlobatannins, saponins, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, and alkaloids. The ability of the ethanolic extract of the leaves to inhibit the growth of the test bacteria and fungus is an indication of its antimicrobial potency which may be employed in the treatment of microbial infections and degenerative diseases.

Corrosion Behavior of High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel in High-Temperature Water with Zinc and Aluminum Simultaneous Injection
Authors: Zhang Shenghan , Sun Chenhao , Tan Yu
Published: July 2020

Oxide films were formed on A508-3 steel in simulated pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary water at the temperature of 561 ± 1 K for 168 h with zinc and/or aluminum injection. Corrosion behaviors of oxide films were analyzed by electrochemical polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Mott-Schottky plots, photocurrent measurement, scanning electronic microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The results showed that zinc and aluminum simultaneous injection technology decreased the corrosion current density, increased the impedance value, made the oxide film more compact, and affected the semiconductor properties of the oxide film. The increase in zinc concentration improved the corrosion resistance to some extent. ZnAl2O4 phase, with extremely low solubility and high stability, had been detected in the oxide film; this substance changed the composition of the oxide film and affected the corrosion behavior of A508-3 steel.

Authors: Fernandes Daiana Evangelista Rodrigues , Medeiros Marcelo , Santos Walterlania Silva , dos Santos Mayara Guimarães
Published: July 2020

Objective: To identify, in the national and international scientific literature, the evidence produced by Nursing that provides subsidies to prevent teenage pregnancy. Material and method: An integrative literature review study, based on papers available in the PubMed, BVS, Scopus and Web of Science metabases, and in the Lilacs and BDEnf databases, in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages, published from January 2013 to March 2020. Results: According to the inclusion criteria, 13 articles were selected. The findings are presented in the categories “lower socio-economic conditions”, “knowledge, attitudes and cultural aspects” and “sexual education and specialized services”. Conclusions: Teenage pregnancy is strongly associated with poverty and other socio-economic issues. Gender relations, communication about sex education in the family and other cultural aspects were found in the discussions, which indicates their impact on this phenomenon. Interventions involving sex education are shown as an alternative to cope. The presence of the nurse at the places that assist or concentrate adolescents can be a great element to reduce pregnancy rates in this phase.

Training in Deontological Requirements of Interpreters Dealing with Refugees: International Protection as an Opportunity for Social Entrepreneurship in Translation and Interpreting Studies in Spain
Authors: Martín-Ruel Estela
Published: July 2020

Having noted the entrepreneurial reluctance of graduates in general and T&I graduates in particular in Spain, we propose social entrepreneurship in the field of international protection and refugees as a potentially viable employment opportunity. The ever-growing number of asylum seekers arriving in Spain have a recognised right to access translation and interpreting services, and we therefore advocate the training of interpreters to operate in asylum scenarios and meet the specific deontological requirements involved therein. Future professionals need to be equipped with all the tools necessary to be able to handle the different challenges that may arise in such situations. To this end, we present the results of a series of interviews conducted with refugee reception organisations in the province of Seville, the capital of Andalusia which is one of the regions in the EU which handles the highest number of immigrant arrivals. The situations experienced in these organizations may reflect the state of the question in the asylum field. We found that the application of professional ethics in real-case situations is indeed very often deficient, and its inclusion in training syllabuses in the country could help address this social need.

Option pricing formulas under a change of numèraire
Authors: Attalienti Antonio , Bufalo Michele
Published: July 2020

We present some formulations of the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein and Black-Scholes formulas for European options obtained through a suitable change of measure, which corresponds to a change of numèraire for the underlying price process. Among other consequences, a closed formula for the price of an European call option at each node of the multi-period binomial tree is achieved, too. Some of the results contained herein, though comparable with analogous ones appearing elsewhere in the financial literature, provide however a supplementary widening and deepening in view of useful applications in the more challenging framework of incomplete markets. This last issue, having the present paper as a preparatory material, will be treated extensively in a forthcoming paper.
