Authors: Scavarda Annibal , Daú Gláucya , Scavarda Luiz Felipe , Goyannes Gusmão Caiado Rodrigo
Published: September 2019

The global movement around themes like sustainability on its triple bottom line and industry 4.0 allows for the establishment of a ground of connection with corporate responsibility towards society. This current research study was developed between 1 March 2019 to 2 September 2019, through a literature review involving human resources and terms related to the concept of sustainability, industry 4.0, corporate social responsibility, and the youth generation. Its target audience is the world’s youth generation. Two proposals were created after the literature review and data collection, which allowed the elaboration of “an analysis of the corporate social responsibility and the industry 4.0 with focus in the youth generation: a sustainable human resource management framework.” Regarding conclusions, the authors of this research study contribute with theoretical and practical educational purposes to insert the youth citizen into society. This contribution also involves the work of companies on planning and preparing their staffs to develop activities in the communities in their neighborhood. Future studies are stimulated, which will allow the creation of new proposals to be presented, so that the nations can incorporate their youth people on the transitional job market and have a sustainable view for the future generations.

Published: September 2019

Aiming at reducing CO2 emissions from shipping at the EU level, a system for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of CO2 emissions of ships was introduced in 2015 with the so-called ‘MRV Regulation’. Its stated objective was to produce accurate information on the CO2 emissions of large ships using EU ports and to incentivize energy efficiency improvements by making this information publicly available. On 1 July 2019, the European Commission published the relevant data for 10,880 ships that called at EU ports within 2018. This milestone marked the completion of the first annual cycle of the regulation’s implementation, enabling an early assessment of its effectiveness. To investigate the value of the published data, information was collected on all voyages performed within 2018 by a fleet of 1041 dry bulk carriers operated by a leading Danish shipping company. The MRV indicators were then recalculated on a global basis. The results indicate that the geographic coverage restrictions of the MRV Regulation introduce a significant bias, thus prohibiting their intended use. Nevertheless, the MRV Regulation has played a role in prompting the IMO to adopt its Data Collection System that monitors ship carbon emissions albeit on a global basis.
Towards Managing and Controlling Aflatoxin Producers Within Aspergillus Species in Infested Rice Grains Collected from Local Markets in Kenya
Authors: Douksouna Youmma , Masanga Joel , Nyerere Andrew , Runo Steven , Ambang Zachée
Published: September 2019

Rice grains can be attacked by a range of pathogens, including Aspergillus species, which can cause the accumulation of aflatoxins and represent a serious threat to the consumers. Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites synthesized by Aspergillus species and naturally occur in various foodstuffs. In this study, we sought to analyze the prevalence of aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus spp. in rice grains currently sold in Kenyan local markets. We analyzed a total of 98 samples randomly collected and primarily analyzed to observe moisture content and fungal growth. We then isolated Aspergillus species, characterized them morphologically and using the Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) primers. Finally, we screened them for aflatoxin-producing isolates targeting Norsolorinic Acid (nor-1) and Versicolorin (ver-1) specific genes involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis. We observed that all tested samples were contaminated. The highest prevalence of Aspergillus species and aflatoxigenic fungal species, had values of 66% and 36.4% for nor-1 and ver-1, respectively. In total, 66% of all isolates were confirmed to be aflatoxin producers. The occurrence of high contamination levels of Aspergillus species points to the possibility of production of aflatoxins in rice grains. This work provides a baseline for future studies on the occurrence of mycotoxigenic fungal species in rice grains being sold in local markets and strategies to control these aflatoxigenic strains at pre- and post-harvest levels.

Fumonisins (FBs) are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium species that can contaminate human food and animal feed. Due to the harmful effects of FBs on animals, the European Union (EU) defined a recommendation of a maximum of 5 mg FBs (B1 + B2)/kg for complete feed for swine and 1 µg FBs/kg body weight per day as the tolerable daily intake for humans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of dietary exposure to low doses of FBs, including a dose below the EU regulatory limits. Four groups of 24 weaned castrated male piglets were exposed to feed containing 0, 3.7, 8.1, and 12.2 mg/kg of FBs for 28 days; the impact was measured by biochemical analysis and histopathological observations. Dietary exposure to FBs at a low dose (3.7 mg/kg of feed) significantly increased the plasma sphinganine-to-sphingosine ratio. FBs-contaminated diets led to histological modifications in the intestine, heart, lung, lymphoid organs, kidney, and liver. The histological alterations in the heart and the intestine appeared at the lowest dose of FBs-contaminated diet (3.7 mg/kg feed) and in the kidney at the intermediate dose (8.1 mg/kg feed). At the highest dose tested (12.2 mg/kg feed), all the organs displayed histological alterations. This dose also induced biochemical modifications indicative of kidney and liver alterations. In conclusion, our data indicate that FBs-contaminated diets at doses below the EU regulatory limit cause histological lesions in several organs. This study suggests that EU recommendations for the concentration of FBs in animal feed, especially for swine, are not sufficiently protective and that regulatory doses should be modified for better protection of animal health.
Spatio-Temporal Groundwater Drought Monitoring Using Multi-Satellite Data Based on an Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Seo Jae Young , Lee Sang-Il
Published: September 2019

Drought is a complex phenomenon caused by lack of precipitation that affects water resources and human society. Groundwater drought is difficult to assess due to its complexity and the lack of spatio-temporal groundwater observations. In this study, we present an approach to evaluate groundwater drought based on relatively high spatial resolution groundwater storage change data. We developed an artificial neural network (ANN) that employed satellite data (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)) as well as Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) models. The Standardized Groundwater Level Index (SGI) was calculated by normalizing ANN-predicted groundwater storage changes from 2003 to 2015 across South Korea. The ANN-predicted 25 km groundwater storage changes correlated well with both the in situ and the water balance equation (WBE)-estimated groundwater storage changes, with mean correlation coefficients of 0.87 and 0.64, respectively. The Standardized Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), having an accumulation time of 1–6 months, and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) were used to validate the SGI. The results showed that the SGI had a pattern similar to that of SPEI-1 and SPEI-2 (1- and 2-month accumulation periods, respectively), and PDSI. However, the SGI performance fluctuated slightly due to its relatively short study period (13 years) as compared to SPEI and PDSI (more than 30 years). The SGI, which was developed using a new approach in this study, captured the characteristics of groundwater drought, thus presenting a framework for the assessment of these characteristics.
Concentration Measurement of Uniform Particles Based on Backscatter Sensing of Optical Fibers
Authors: Huang Rui , Zhang Qinghe , Qi Pengfei , Liu Weiwei
Published: September 2019

A set of miniature optical fiber particle concentration measuring instruments is designed and applied to develop a unified expression for the concentration measurement of uniform particles in tap water. By measuring the concentrations of six uniform silicon carbide particles in the size range of 38–250 μm, the unified relationship between particle size, particle concentration, and optical scattering intensity is proposed. The unified expression is verified by the concentration measurements of silicon carbide particles with three other sizes. The results show that the measurement error is less than 10%, and the unified expression is satisfactory considering the large measuring range of 0–50 kg/m3. The effects of light intensity on the concentration measurement are discussed based on the results of 150 μm silicon carbide particles under three different light intensities. It is shown that a low light intensity can be applied for high-concentration measurement with relatively low accuracy, while a high light intensity can be adopted for low-concentration measurement with higher accuracy.

Published: September 2019

Introduction. The role and importance of market segmentation as a methodology and tools for market research is emphasized. The importance of practical and theoretical studies of dental services market in Ukraine is highlighted. The limitation of scientific studies that focus on segmenting the market is indicated.
Purpose. The research aims is conduct the segmentation of dental services market of Ukraine according to the geographical breakdown of administrative units (regions, Crimea, Kyiv and Sevastopol).
Method. The multivariate analysis methods have been applied in this study. Those are cluster analysis (k-means clustering) and multidimensional scaling.
Results. As a result of the geographical segmentation of the dental market of Ukraine 9 clusters are allocated. They combine administrative units with similar indicators of dental personnel security infrastructure (the number of dentists in the public and private clinics and offices, staffing agencies dental specialists). The best dental staffing agencies are in the cluster that integrates Ivano-Frankivsk and Kharkiv region. The lowest number of experts in dental public establishments can be observed in Zaporizhzhya region. As for the private dental establishments the lowest number of professionals can be observed in Volyn, Donetsk, Odessa and Chernihiv regions.
With the help of similar methods 7 groups of regions and cities of Ukraine according to the level of current and deferred demand have been defined. It has been determined on the basis of the specific rate of dental visits of adults to dental institutions, the number of their repeated visits, the need for dental sanation of adults and children. The highest percentage of the population that needs sanation (i.e. a number of consumers of dental services with postpond demand) is typical for the Transcarpathian region and for Kyiv. The smallest number of consumers of dental services with pent-up demand is in their geographical segment, which includes Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Luhansk region and Sevastopol. Mykolaiv region is characterized by a very significant postpond demand for dental services, while the current demand is minor and mainly ensured by repeated visits to dental institutions by one and the same patient.

Introduction. Current economic conditions entities of Agrarian Business are characterized by instability and uncertainty. These conditions reduce the efficiency of economic activity. Agricultural enterprises can successfully manage in current business environment in case if an effective mechanism to control is constructed. It requires an adequate information security. In the information system of agricultural enterprise an accounting and analytical information plays a significant role. It is characterized in most of the cases by retrospective content. However, in the current economic conditions it is necessary to generate information not only about domestic economic conditions for agricultural enterprises, but also about a number of external factors. This information can only be obtained through strategically oriented accounting system.
Purpose. The research aims to ground the necessity for developing a strategically oriented accounting system to improve management decisions in agricultural enterprises.
Methods. The dialectical and systematic approaches to the study of accounting and analytical support of agricultural enterprises have been used. The abstract and logical method to justify the need to develop a strategically oriented accounting system in agricultural enterprises has been applied.
Results. The accounting system is the system of information model of the system of the enterprise, which allows us to identify and process data about the facts of economic life and generate and provide information about them to users through a variety of types and formats of financial statements. With the changes in conditions of functioning of enterprises, changes of models and methods of management decisions an accounting system should be properly refined in order to meet the growing information needs of internal and external users of accounting information. As a result of the formation of market conditions there is a need to develop a proper system of accounting and analytical support implementation of the strategic objectives of the enterprise. System of strategic accounting serves as a unifying link in the information space of the enterprise. It allows integration of accounting information with data on the environment and information predictive nature. Only under such conditions accounting system can be fully implemented into the strategic management process.
Perspectives. The system strategic accounting as a means of information support of management should provide an adaptation of the enterprise to the changes which occur in the environment, provide identification of critical situations, determine the main opportunities and threats and generally be a tool for maintaining economic security and sustainable development of the agricultural enterprises in dynamic market conditions.

Games are entertainment media in the form of multimedia that is made as attractive as possible that is played using electronic media to provide satisfaction to its users. Aside from being a means of entertainment, games can also be used as a means of learning to increase knowledge. But the development of games that contain elements of education is very difficult to find. Various alternative and programming innovations were carried out to make educational media to facilitate the learning process, including Computer Assembling Games. Computer assembly is to assemble all computer components to become a PC that is ready to use. However, the assembly process is difficult because it requires adequate equipment and space. For that you need a media that can facilitate the process of learning to assemble a computer. This game is made based on Android so it makes it easier for users to play it. The method used in making this game is Finite State Machines (FSM). With the existence of this game is expected to increase knowledge and facilitate the learning process of assembling computers.

Objective: Aims of the study is to specify the significance of thiol/disulfide homeostasis in the aspect of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and GDM-related complications.

Material and Methods: This study is a prospective review of the data of 61 healthy and non-pregnant women, 58 healthy pregnant women, and 62 pregnant women with GDM.

Results: The patients with gestational diabetes mellitus had significantly higher disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol concentrations than non-pregnant patients (p<0.001 for both) and healthy pregnant patients (p: 0.015 and p: 0.018, respectively). Besides, in GDM group had significantly lower native thiol/total thiol concentrations than non-pregnant patients and healthy pregnant patients (p<0.001 and p: 0.016, respectively). There were positive and significant correlations between disulfide levels and HbA1c concentrations (r=0.26, p: 0.042), and between disulfide and oral glucose tolerance test first hour concentrations (r=0.26, p: 0.039). The receiver operating characteristic curve analyses for native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide were unable to predict adverse perinatal outcomes in this cohort.

Conclusion: The significantly higher concentrations of disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol in women with GDM could be considered as the presence of increased oxidative stress.  However, these markers failed to predict adverse perinatal outcomes.

Keywords: gestational diabetes mellitus; oxidative stress; perinatal outcome; pregnancy; thiol/disulfide homeostasis
Critical Writing
Authors: Adlington Hugh
Published: September 2019

This chapter surveys the large body of Fitzgerald’s critical writing, only a fraction of which has been collected and is currently in print. This body of work includes more than fifty book, film and theatre reviews for Punch magazine, more than twenty essays on European art, literature and culture for World Review (the periodical that Fitzgerald co-edited in the early 1950s), and more than 200 reviews of fiction and biography in British and American newspapers, as well as introductions for books and editions, travel essays, art criticism, literary essays and journalistic sketches. The chapter considers the nature of Fitzgerald’s critical sympathies, priorities and tastes, and the marked stylistic continuities between her criticism and fiction. In particular, the chapter notes Fitzgerald’s fascination in her critical writing with what would become two of the most distinctive features of her own writing: a searching appreciation of the psychological and social interplay between fictional characters, and a prose style apparently without art.
Late Novels
Authors: Adlington Hugh
Published: September 2019

This chapter examines the four ‘late’ novels that are the peak of Penelope Fitzgerald’s achievement as a writer: Innocence, The Beginning of Spring, The Gate of Angels, The Blue Flower. Each novel is, at least superficially, a work of historical fiction in that it is set in the past: in 1950s Italy, in revolutionary Russia, in Edwardian England, and in late-eighteenth-century Germany respectively. But history is decidedly not the defining feature of these novels. Rather, as this chapter shows, all four works are characterized by their bold experimentation with narrative form and style, reflecting an intense concern with profound questions of body, mind and spirit that culminates in Fitzgerald’s haunting masterpiece, the story of the idealized yearning of the German Romantic poet Novalis both for Sophie von Kühn, his ‘heart’s heart’, and for revelation. Through close analysis of Fitzgerald’s methods of research, composition and editing, this chapter proposes fresh ways of thinking about the stylistic means by which these late novels create fictional worlds that expand to fill the reader’s imagination, and even appear to possess an existence independent of the novels themselves.
X-Ray Properties of Radio-selected Dual Active Galactic Nuclei

Merger simulations predict that tidally induced gas inflows can trigger kiloparsec-scale dual active galactic nuclei (dAGN) in heavily obscured environments. Previously, with the Very Large Array, we have confirmed four dAGN with redshifts between 0.04 < z < 0.22 and projected separations between 4.3 and 9.2 kpc in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 field. Here, we present Chandra X-ray observations that spatially resolve these dAGN and compare their multiwavelength properties to those of single AGN from the literature. We detect X-ray emission from six of the individual merger components and obtain upper limits for the remaining two. Combined with previous radio and optical observations, we find that our dAGN have properties similar to nearby low-luminosity AGN, and they agree with the black hole fundamental plane relation well. There are three AGN-dominated X-ray sources, whose X-ray hardness-ratio derived column densities show that two are unobscured and one is obscured. The low obscured fraction suggests these dAGN are no more obscured than single AGN, in contrast to the predictions from simulations. These three sources show an apparent X-ray deficit compared to their mid-infrared continuum and optical [O iii] line luminosities, suggesting higher levels of obscuration, in tension with the hardness-ratio derived column densities. Enhanced mid-infrared and [O iii] luminosities from star formation may explain this deficit. There is ambiguity in the level of obscuration for the remaining five components because their hardness ratios may be affected by nonnuclear X-ray emissions, or are undetected altogether. They require further observations to be fully characterized.
The Impact of Stripped Cores on the Frequency of Earth-size Planets in the Habitable Zone

Published: September 2019

The frequency of Earth-size planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of Sun-like stars, hereafter η
⊕, is a key parameter to evaluate the yield of nearby Earth analogs that can be detected and characterized by future missions. Yet, this value is poorly constrained as there are no reliable exoplanet candidates in the HZ of Sun-like stars in the Kepler field. Here, we show that extrapolations relying on the population of small (<1.8 R
⊕), short-period (<25 days) planets bias η
⊕ to large values. As the radius distribution at short orbital periods is strongly affected by atmospheric loss, we reevaluate η
⊕ using exoplanets at larger separations. We find that η
⊕ drops considerably, to values of only ∼5%–10%. Observations of young (<100 Myr) clusters can probe short-period sub-Neptunes that still retain most of their envelope mass. As such, they can be used to quantify the contamination of sub-Neptunes to the population of Kepler short-period small planets and aid in more reliable estimates of η
⊕.
