Authors: Lee Wei Qi , Ahamed Kameel Nurul Iman , Mohamad Saharuddin , Tayyab Saad
Published: September 2018

Background

To investigate the interaction of pendimethalin (PM), a commonly used herbicide, with various mammalian serum albumins.

Methods

The interactions of PM with serum albumins of bovine (BSA), sheep (SSA), porcine (PSA) and rabbit (RbSA) were studied using fluorescence quenching titration and site marker displacement experiments.

Results

A comparison of the PM-induced quenching of the fluorescence of these albumins with that published for human serum albumin (HSA) showed similarity between BSA and HSA. The PM binding affinity of these albumins was found to follow the order: SSA>BSA>RbSA>PSA. Warfarin (WFN) displacement results also suggested similar displacing action of PM on WFN-BSA complex, when compared to the published results on WFN-HSA complex.

Conclusion

The results suggested close similarity between BSA and HSA in terms of PM binding characteristics and hence bovine can be selected as a suitable animal model for further toxicological studies of PM.

The endophytic fungus Mycosphaerella sp. (UFMGCB2032) was isolated from the healthy leaves of Eugenia bimarginata, a plant from the Brazilian savanna. Two novel usnic acid derivatives, mycousfuranine (1) and mycousnicdiol (2), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract, and their structure was elucidated by NMR and MS analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate antifungal activities against Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, each with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 50.0 μg/mL and 250.0 μg/mL, respectively.
The relationship between defense mechanisms and religious coping using a new two-factor solution for the Defense Style Questionnaire-40
Authors: Prout Tracy A. , Gottdiener William H. , Camargo Alexander , Murphy Sean
Published: September 2018

This study examined the factor structure of the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40) and explored the relationships between defense mechanisms and religious coping in a diverse sample of 380 college students. In contrast with the three-factor model of defenses proposed by the developers of the DSQ-40, principal axis factoring yielded two internally consistent components: adaptive and maladaptive defense styles. Endorsement of adaptive defenses was positively correlated with the use of positive religious coping strategies and negatively correlated with negative religious coping. Maladaptive defenses were associated with the endorsement of negative religious coping strategies. Clinical implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations are made for future use of the DSQ-40.
Comparative Social Media Use and the Mental Health of Mothers With High Levels of Perfectionism
Authors: Padoa Tricia , Berle David , Roberts Lynette
Published: September 2018

Social media is thought to communicate idealized images and discourses of motherhood. As such, it may present as a risk factor for poor mental health in mothers who strive for perfection and compare themselves to the ideals presented on social media. The present study examined the influence of Facebook and In-stagram on the relationship between perfectionism in mothers and their mental health. A sample of 201 mothers completed an online survey. Two dimensions of perfectionism were assessed: Self-Orientated Parenting Perfectionism (SOPP) and Societal-Prescribed Parenting Perfectionism (SPPP). Mediation models were conducted to examine social media frequency and social comparison respectively on the relationship between perfectionism and maternal mental health. Results revealed that for mothers with SOPP, the process of social comparison with other mothers on social media contributed to symptoms of anxiety and depression. The amount of time engaging in social media however, had no impact. In contrast, for mothers with SPPP, the amount of time spent on Facebook contributed to symptoms of depression and anxiety, while the process of social comparison led to anxiety symptoms alone. Social comparison appears to be important for perfectionistic mothers who use social media, as this may contribute to negative mental health outcomes.
Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Suicide: Differences Between Those With and Without Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Levine Alina Z. , Aljabari Rawya , Dalrymple Kristy , Zimmerman Mark
Published: September 2018

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD), but it also occurs in nonclinical samples (Briere & Gil, 1998), inflicting serious harm and serving as a precursor to suicide attempts (Klonsky, May, & Glenn, 2013). Therefore, the DSM-5 proposed a nonsuicidal self-injury disorder (NSSID) and suicidal behavior disorder. Because this addition requires reconciliation with current BPD criteria, the authors' study evaluated type and frequency of NSSI and suicide attempts in 3,795 outpatients. Both were found in those without BPD, although the behaviors increased when some symptoms and full criteria for BPD were met. Wound/skin picking, scratching, and hitting were most common. Cutting was the fifth most common self-injury for those with BPD and the eighth most common for those without the disorder. Therefore, increased clinical attention is warranted for such self-injury, which may go unnoticed but indicate significant distress. Findings suggest that NSSID/suicidal behavior disorder may account for self-injury outside of BPD.
How to Assess Recovery in Borderline Personality Disorder: Psychosocial Functioning and Satisfaction With Life in a Sample of Former DBT Study Patients
Authors: Zeitler Marie-Luise , Bohus Martin , Kleindienst Nikolaus , Knies Rebekka , Ostermann Miriam , Schmahl Christian , Lyssenko Lisa
Published: September 2018

Longitudinal studies provide substantial evidence for a high rate of symptomatic remission in borderline personality disorder (BPD), while social and vocational functioning seems to remain consistently impaired. Less data is available on recovery and the associated objective and personal indicators. We examined 58 patients 12–18 years after their diagnosis of BPD and compared two different recovery criteria: observer-based global assessment of functioning and self-rated satisfaction with life (SWL). Symptomatic remission was observed in 81% of the participants (according to DSM-IV), but only 44% of them achieved a GAF level > 60, and only 49% reported SWL within the range of one standard deviation of the normal population. In line with previous research, our data show that DSM symptom remission alone is an insufficient indicator for recovery from BPD. Replacing the GAF with patient-reported satisfaction with life considers empowerment in BPD and offers an efficient alternative criterion for recovery.
Antithyroid drug therapy: 70 years later
Authors: Burch Henry B , Cooper David S
Published: September 2018

The thionamide antithyroid drugs were discovered in large part following serendipitous observations by a number of investigators in the 1940s who found that sulfhydryl-containing compounds were goitrogenic in animals. This prompted Prof. Edwin B Astwood to pioneer the use of these compounds to treat hyperthyroidism in the early 1940s and to develop the more potent and less toxic drugs that are used today. Despite their simple molecular structure and ease of use, many uncertainties remain, including their mechanism(s) of action, clinical role, optimal use in pregnancy and the prediction and prevention of rare but potentially life-threatening adverse reactions. In this review, we summarize the history of the development of these drugs and outline their current role in the clinical management of patients with hyperthyroidism.

O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a validade do autorrelato de anemia e de uso terapêutico de sais de ferro, frente à informação de hemoglobina da carteira da gestante. O estudo utiliza dados da coorte de nascimentos de 2015 de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Para a validação do autorrelato de anemia, foram incluídas todas as mães que tinham registro de hemoglobina na carteira da gestante (N = 3.419), ao passo que, para a validação do autorrelato de uso terapêutico de sais de ferro, foram incluídas as que tinham registro de exames de hemoglobina na carteira da gestante e que relataram haver utilizado algum medicamento com sulfato ferroso em sua composição durante a gestação. Anemia foi definida como, pelo menos, um registro de hemoglobina ≤ 11g/dL na carteira da gestante (padrão-ouro). A prevalência de anemia conforme padrão-ouro foi 35,9% (34,3-37,5), ao passo que a de anemia autorrelatada foi 42,2% (40,8-43,7), e o autorrelato de uso terapêutico de sais de ferro, 43,2% (41,3-45,1). A sensibilidade do autorrelato de anemia foi 75,2% (72,8-77,6) e a especificidade, 75,1% (73,3-76,9). Para o autorrelato de uso terapêutico de sais de ferro, a sensibilidade foi 66,4% (63,5-69,2) e a especificidade, 71,9% (69,7-74,0). A especificidade do autorrelato de anemia e do autorrelato de uso terapêutico de sais de ferro entre mães com ≥ 12 anos de escolaridade foi 78,4% (75,4-81,4) e 79,5% (76,1-82,9). Na população estudada, com alta prevalência de anemia, de cada cinco puérperas que relataram anemia ou uso terapêutico de sais de ferro, três relatavam a verdade. A especificidade de ambos os autorrelatos foi mais elevada entre mães com ≥ 12 anos de escolaridade.

INVESTOR SENTIMENT AND EARNINGS MANAGEMENT: DOES ANALYSTS’ MONITORING MATTER?
Authors: MIRANDA KLÉBER F. , MACHADO MÁRCIO A. V. , MACEDO LUCIANA A. F.
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT Purpose: Under the assumption that managers have incentives to practice earnings management in optimistic moments, this paper aims to analyze whether analysts’ monitoring affects the relation between the discretionary accumulations (accruals) and investor sentiment in the Brazilian capital market. Originality/value: The mediating role of analysts in the relation between investor sentiment and earnings management was not identified in the literature establishing an important gap to be investigated, given the relevance of the reported earnings for the decision-making process of market participants. Design/methodology/approach: Fixed effects regressions (industry and quarter) were estimated from 2010 to 2016, using all data and the subsetting sample according to whether or not companies were monitored by analysts. Findings: The results showed a reduction of earnings management after optimistic moments, which differs from the initial expectation and such behavior is attributed to the presence of analysts following companies. The results were robust to alternative proxies for earnings management and investor sentiment. Analysts have an influence on accounting earnings supporting the best disclosure, so inhibiting the practice of earnings management in optimistic moments. Therefore, although previous studies suggest that earnings management practices increase during optimistic moments, market participants may consider, even in such moments, a better earnings quality when firms are monitored by analysts.

Published: September 2018

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the the influence of feeding rate and different artificial substrates on both the water quality and growth performance of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp. The experimental design was randomized blocks with five treatments and four replicates, with a density of 30 shrimp m-2 and mean weight of 2.8 g. The experiment lasted 49 days, and during this period, artificial substrates did not influence the water quality. The increase in the feeding rate influenced the dissolved oxygen of treatments. The final average weight, average final length, final biomass, productivity, and feed conversion rate showed significant differences (p > 0.05). The best food conversion factor was provided by the treatment with a feeding rate of 2%. The treatment with a feeding rate of 4% of biomass showed the best growth performance, except for the feed conversion rate. Results showed that for the percentage of 25% of the area of artificial substrates, there is an optimum feeding rate of between 5.13% and 5.54% of shrimp biomass, resulting in maximum production.
Las estaciones sarrapieras: los Mapoyo y las economías extractivas del Orinoco Medio, Venezuela
Authors: Torrealba Gabriel , Scaramelli Franz G.
Published: September 2018

Resumen Durante el período de afianzamiento de las economías extractivas en la Amazonía (1870-1960), la región del Orinoco Medio en Venezuela experimentó la explosión comercial de la sarrapia (Dipteryx odorata), semilla aromática utilizada en la industria de la perfumería. La mercantilización de este y otros productos forestales en dicha región marcaría la entrada de numerosas comunidades indígenas a un nuevo régimen de contacto con el capitalismo global. No obstante, los detalles acerca de las dinámicas de la explotación sarrapiera y su importancia en la historia de las poblaciones locales permanecen relativamente desconocidos. En este artículo examinamos el papel de las estaciones sarrapieras en la obtención de trabajo y materias primas para la empresa extractivista. A través del uso de evidencia etnográfica e histórica, analizamos el rol de las estaciones sarrapieras en la historia cultural y la economía política del Orinoco Medio. La información derivada de entrevistas y documentos sobre el grupo indígena Mapoyo nos sirve de base para analizar temas como movilización de trabajo, relaciones de intercambio y nuevos hábitos de consumo establecidos en torno a la recolección de sarrapia.
The historical phonology of Paunaka (Arawakan)
Authors: Carvalho Fernando O. de
Published: September 2018

Abstract This paper applies the comparative method to unravel the historical development of the segmental phonology of Paunaka, an Arawakan language of Bolivia. Although the Paunaka vowel system features a single back rounded vowel, it is rather simple to show that it derives from a system with two back rounded qualities *u and *o, but that the former segment shifted to a high central unrounded vowel ɨ. The language has lost *r unconditionally, implying that Paunaka items with r are probable loanwords. Paunaka underewent a spirantization of *ts, thus merging this affricate with the fricative *s. Although Paunaka shares a coronalization of *k > s with Proto-Mojeño, most of the phonological developments that affected Paunaka are either recurrent in the Arawakan language family or only superficially similar to developments in related languages, and thus provide little weight as evidence for subgrouping. An Appendix is also included, with 105 etymologies matching Paunaka lexical and grammatical morphemes with their cognates in Proto-Mojeño, the two extant Mojeño dialects (Ignaciano and Trinitario) and Terena.

Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT: The cultivation of transgenic soybean plants using the glyphosate resistant gene (RR soybeans), takes up about 47% of the world’s cropping area. Despite the large area planted with soybeans resistant to glyphosate, there are very few studies of the environmental impact of this technology, especially in tropical areas. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of the cultive of RR soybeans and the use of glyphosate on the community of soil surface arthropods. The experiment was conducted in Coimbra, Minas Gerais state for two agricultural years. The experimental design was conducted in randomized blocks with five replications. The treatments were: non-transgenic soybean with mechanical weeding; RR soybean with mechanical weeding; RR soybean with one application of glyphosate and RR soybean with three applications of glyphosate. The populations of the soil surface arthropods were sampled over two years of cultivation (2007/2008 and 2008/2009). The cultive of RR soybean did not affect the richness and abundance of arthropods. A lower number of predators and detritivorous arthropods were observed in the treatments with one or three applications of glyphosate. Lower densities of arthropods were observed on the cultive of transgenic soybeans with three applications of glyphosate compared to the other treatments, especially the predators Achaearaneasp. (Araneae: Theridiidae), Oxypodinisp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), Solenopsisspp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), the detritivorous Entomobryidae (Collembola), Hypogastrurasp. (Collembola: Hypogastruridae) and Xyleborussp. (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). The results indicate that the insertion of the glyphosate resistant gene does not affect the richness and abundance of the arthropods, however the use of glyphosate reduce the densities of predators and detritivorous on the soil surface.
Os Estudos de etnometodologia de Garfinkel: uma investigação sobre os alicerces morais da vida pública moderna
Authors: Rawls Anne Warfield
Published: September 2018

Resumo A Editora Vozes publicou uma tradução em português da nova segunda edição de Estudos de etnometodologia. Para comemorar essa realização, falarei hoje a respeito da importância desse livro, da obra de Garfinkel em geral, em termos teóricos, metodológicos e políticos. Argumentarei que Garfinkel se dedicou ao projeto durkheimiano de fazer com que a sociologia se tornasse singularmente adequada para o estudo da modernidade, e que isso explica muitas das incompreensões sofridas por esta obra. Quero também anunciar as atividades do Arquivo Garfinkel (Garfinkel Archive), do qual sou hoje diretora e executora intelectual. Há materiais no arquivo que deverão se tornar o foco de importantes teses de pós-graduação e livros. O trabalho com esses arquivos vem sendo apoiado pelo governo alemão por meio de um centro na Universidade de Siegen, na Alemanha, denominado Mídia da Cooperação. O argumento de Garfinkel, assim como o de Durkheim, modifica o território epistemológico da ciência social e, com ele, o território teórico da argumentação social. Ele reorienta o domínio dos objetos, fazendo com que eles deixem de ser objetos naturais para se tornarem objetos sociais; vem como o domínio das práticas sociais relevantes, que deixam de ser normas, regras tradicionais e consensos, para se tornarem práticas constitutivas. Em razão da magnitude dessa reorientação, a etnometodologia só pode ser entendida por pessoas que já tenham uma compreensão teórica do que ela envolve. De outra forma, surgiriam contradições, o que de fato já aconteceu. A consequência do argumento de Garfinkel para entender a política democrática moderna é que quaisquer desigualdades ou exclusões que impeçam as pessoas de estar em condições de cumprir as condições de reciprocidade de uma interação (suas famosas “condições de confiabilidade”) são uma ameaça à coerência, ao significado e à identidade da vida pública democrática moderna.

BCR-ABL1-like B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) is a subset of B-ALL with a poor prognosis that is found in all age groups. Definitive identification of these patients is difficult in routine clinical practice as gene expression profiling, the gold standard test, is not widely available. Comprehensive genomic profiling performed on 450 patients with extensive fusion profiling revealed a wide range of genomic alterations which were consistent with a classification of BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL in 29% of cases. This manuscript highlights a clinically available alternative method for identifying a large subset of patients with BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL.

A CRISE DE (IR)RACIONALIDADE DO SISTEMA PENAL: A DESSUBJETIVAÇÃO DO “OUTRO” NO ESTADO DE EXCEÇÃO DAS SOCIEDADES PÓS-DISCIPLINARES
Authors: Oliveira Diogo Mariano Carvalho de , Maia Jorge Sobral da Silva
Published: September 2018

Existe uma constante e permanente crítica às atuais condições do sistema penal, principalmente no Brasil, sempre no sentido de afirmar que a penalidade contemporânea encontra-se em crise. No entanto, indaga-se: o sistema penal está em crise, ou ele “é crise”? Propõe-se aqui que a irracionalidade do sistema penal moderno é inerente ao seu próprio funcionamento, lógica essa determinada pela disposição dos modos de produção e as relações sociais da modernidade. Não há, portanto, nada de surpreendente na crise do sistema penal e em seus aspectos seletivos. Em verdade, a seletividade sempre foi uma imanência do sistema penal. A diferença é que hoje esse processo ocorre de maneira muito mais sutil e ideologizada e seus efeitos desencadeiam a crescente destruição identitária do “outro”. O sujeito moderno encontra-se cada vez mais “dessubjetivado”, e aqueles que sofrem ainda mais com os mecanismos da biopolítica são a “Multidão”, lançada cada vez mais próxima à condição elementar 0 de homini sacrii, de refugo humano, inseridos num estado de exceção que se compõe cada vez mais como estrutura jurídico-política padrão. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo propor uma breve análise contemporânea crítico-filosófica do fenômeno carcerário, a fim de possibilitar a elaboração de um novo conjunto de abordagens que possa ser eficaz para tratar de maneira atual a seletividade penal, o encarceramento em massa e a ilegitimidade do discurso jurídico penal, utilizando-se como referencial teórico principal a criminologia crítica e como metodologia a dialética.

Published: September 2018

O presente trabalho analisa aspectos jurídicos e sociais dos instrumentos preliminares de investigação criminal no Brasil, com destaque para o inquérito policial, diante do avanço tecnológico das últimas décadas, o que vem, aos poucos, promovendo a transição da tradicional forma escrita (no papel), para a eletrônica. Dentre as questões analisadas, destacam-se os instrumentos preliminares da investigação no contexto da sociedade da informação; a natureza jurídica do inquérito policial; o tratamento sigiloso com objetivo de não prejudicar o sucesso das investigações e de preservar a dignidade dos investigados e das vítimas; a crise que atinge a sistemática do inquérito policial e as experiências já realizadas na adoção do inquérito na forma eletrônica. O método utilizado é o qualitativo com resultados obtidos por indução.
Dancing Beyond Sight: How Blindness Shakes up the Senses of Dance
Authors: Devos Piet
Published: September 2018

In this essay I argue that blindness offers up a most fruitful perspective through which to rethink the visualist aesthetics of dance. As will become clear from three case studies, both choreographers and performers often draw on blindness's multisensory knowledge and practices as to transform the creation, transmission and reception of contemporary dance. Whether through the auditory exploration of space and presence or the haptic appropriation of another's movement into one's own body, blindness brings along an intensely affective, sensory plenitude to the dance theatre, which is at odds with the formalism and distanced judgment typical of the more conventional, predominantly visual approach to dance. The result of such promising experiments within contemporary dance is the emergence of a more inclusive aesthetics in which the creative potential of sensory differences is no longer suppressed, but ultimately acknowledged.
Rethinking Comics and Visuality, from the Audio Daredevil to Philipp Meyer's Life
Authors: Christopher Brandon
Published: September 2018

This essay examines two comics that question, either implicitly or explicitly, the near-ubiquitous association of comics and the visual. First, it examines the 'audio edition' of Mark Waid's Daredevil #1, an attempt to translate the comic into an aural medium, and assesses the efficacy of translating a text that has been conceived as visual into a non-visual form. It then turns away from mainstream, visually-conceived comics, examining Philipp Meyer's Life, a 2013 independent comic designed to be read by sighted and non-sighted readers. Taken together, these readings propose that comics' presumed dependence on visuality is more arbitrary than has heretofore been acknowledged.
Disability as Method: Interventions in the Habitus of Ableism through Media-Creation
Authors: Dokumaci Arseli
Published: September 2018

In this article, I share and reflect on a research-creation video that introduces what I call 'disability as method' to critical disability and media studies. The video draws on a year-long visual ethnography, during which I collaborated with a blind and a physically disabled participant to explore the specificities of their mobility experiences in the city of Montreal. In making this video, I use the affordances of filming and editing in creative ways both to explore what access could mean to differently disabled people in the space of the city and to reimagine new possibilities of media-making informed by blindness gain. To this end, I introduce a new audio description (AD) technique by using stop-time as crip-time, and deploying AD not only as an accessibility feature but also as a blind intervention in the creative process of filmmaking itself.
A study on effectiveness of lactational amenorrhea as a method of contraception
Authors: Tiwari Kamlesh , Khanam Ishmat , Savarna Neha
Published: September 2018

Background: The lactational amenorrhea method, known as LAM, is part of the World Health Organization’s list of accepted and effective methods of family planning. Studies show LAM to be 98% effective, as effective as the pill and other modern methods, when used according to guidelines. As LAM costs nothing, easy and natural to use, no medication or any devise needed, no interference with natural hormones, no interruption in conjugal life and more over the mother enjoying her motherhood life, it sounds very good as a method of contraception.Methods:This is a prospective non-comparative study. A total of 298 mothers participated in this study. The benefits of exclusive breast feeding with particular emphasis on timely breastfeeding and must feeding during the night hours were explained to the mothers and the physiology of lactational amenorrhea was explained to them. All the mothers were interviewed and followed up on monthly basis. Results:No lactating mothers conceived within the first six months of delivering their baby and only 4% mothers had evidence of pregnancy mainly after the 10th months after delivery.Conclusions:The lactational amenorrhea method is a highly effective method of contraception for 6 months if exclusive breastfeeding practices are followed. In a country like India where use of contraceptive methods are very meager, LAM may prove a boon as it provides dual benefit of exclusive breastfeeding and prevention of pregnancy.

A Big Win in Smalltown: Demanding Dignity in an Era of Neoliberal Austerity
Authors: Vachon Todd E.
Published: September 2018

This article explores the concepts of dignity at work and worker voice in the public workplace during a period of surging neoliberal austerity intended to reduce taxes, government regulations, and public services. I ask how the changing landscape of public employment in the neoliberal era has created new and exacerbated existing threats to dignity at work and how workers have responded to such threats. The question is answered by exploring how and why an unlikely group of workers in Smalltown chose to use their collective voice on the job to organize a union. Using ethnographic methods, I am able to look at the strategies of public workers coping with a changing work environment in real time. The case of Smalltown offers a window into the interplay of the global and the local by examining how macro-level neoliberal forces can shape workers’ micro-level responses to attacks on their dignity at work. The findings reveal how neoliberal attacks on public workers in particular settings can trigger collective responses that confront not merely austerity but other threats to dignity as well. This study informs our understanding of dignity at work and worker resistance in the post-Great Recession economy.
Adaptive Active Vibration Control for Machine Tools with Highly Position-Dependent Dynamics
Authors: Kleinwort Robin ,   Technical University of Munich Boltzmannstrasse 15, 85748 Garching, Germany, Platz Jonathan , Zaeh Michael F.
Published: September 2018

The material removal rates of machine tools are often limited by chatter, which is caused by the machine’s most flexible structural modes. Active vibration control systems mitigate chatter vibrations and increase the chatter free axial depth of cut. However, model-based control strategies reach their limit if the machine tool exhibits highly position-dependent dynamics. In this paper, an adaptive control strategy is presented. This strategy uses online system identification to adapt the controller. The adaption algorithm is mainly automated. However, a few parameters still need to be selected. Therefore, a methodology for the determination of the optimal parameters is proposed. The adaptive controller was implemented on a B&R PLC and its suitability was verified experimentally by the observation of notable increases in the chatter-free material removal rates.

Additive manufacturing (AM) using metal materials can be used to manufacture metal parts with complex shapes that are difficult to manufacture with subtractive processing. Recently, numerous commercial AM machines for metallic materials have been developed. The primary types of AM using metallic materials are powder bed fusion or direct energy deposition. Other types using metallic materials have not been adequately studied. In this study, the use of the material extrusion (ME) type of AM is investigated. The aim is to use metallic materials not only for fabricating metal parts but also for adding various properties to base materials, e.g., electric conductivity, thermal conductivity, weight, strength, and color of plastics. ME is appropriate for use with various materials by mixing different types of filler. However, there is a problem in that the high density of metal fillers generates unstable extrusion. Therefore, ultrasonic vibration was used for assisting extrusion. A prototype system was developed using an extrusion nozzle vibrated by an ultrasonic homogenizer. The experimental results showed that the ultrasonic vibration allows materials to be extruded smoothly. Three dimensional (3D) shapes could be built by multi-layer deposition with a thixotropic polymer containing a highly concentrated steel powder. As one application, a 3D-shaped object was fabricated as a sintered object. After the vibration effect in the extrusion process of steel powder and clay was confirmed, a 3D object built by the proposed method was sintered through a baking process.

European Agencies’ Headquarters Agreements
Authors: Zieliński Marek
Published: September 2018

The article examines headquarters agreements concluded by European Agencies (EA) with EU host Member States. This sort of agreement is increasingly visible in practice, as it regulates the status of EAs present within a host state territory. After presenting a list of existing headquarters agreements and describing their content, the article analyses the legal bases for their conclusion. Finally, the legal character of EU agencies’ headquarters agreements, and the position occupied by them within the sources of EU law, are explained. The author considers three possible options regarding the legal nature of the agreements: treaties, administrative agreements and public law contracts. The final conclusion is that EA headquarters agreements are international treaties concluded by EAs in the name of the EU with host Member States.
