Kształcenie osób dorosłych jako czynnik zwiększania poziomu innowacyjności krajów Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Węgrzyn Grażyna
Published: December 2019

Koncepcja gospodarki opartej na wiedzy zakłada, że głównym czynnikiem rozwoju społeczno- gospodarczego i kształtowania się nowych struktur gospodarki jest wiedza. Jest ona niezbędna do generowania i wdrażania szeroko pojętych innowacji. Wiedza zdobyta w wyniku edukacji formalnej szybko się dezaktualizuje lub jest niewystarczająca, stąd powstaje konieczność ciągłego uczenia się. Edukacja dorosłych obejmuje wszelkie formy uczenia się, które są podejmowane po zakończeniu wstępnego kształcenia i szkolenia. Jest realizowana w trzech formach: formalnej, pozaformalnej i nieformalnej. Celem opracowania jest zweryfikowanie, czy upowszechnianie się kształcenia osób dorosłych w krajach Unii Europejskiej znajduje odzwierciedlenie w zmianach poziomu innowacyjności. Do realizacji celu opracowania wykorzystano krytyczny przegląd literatury, analizę zastanych danych statystycznych oraz analizę porównawczą. Edukacja pozaformalna i nieformalna dorosłych w postaci szkoleń i kursów, które prowadzą do uzyskania kwalifikacji uznawanych wewnątrz danej instytucji (zakładu pracy, organizacji itp.), stanowi ważny czynnik determinujący poziom innowacyjności gospodarki. Kraje, w których w kształcenie przez całe życie są zaangażowane znaczne zasoby siły roboczej, osiągają lepsze wyniki w poziomie innowacyjności niż kraje, w których ten obszar aktywności edukacyjnej jest niedoceniany.

Published: December 2019

Objective: This research work sought to describe the behavior of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in a population of adults who performed regular physical activity and classify the level of cardio-respiratory fitness. Methods: 819 results were analyzed with the estimated 2000-m VO2max test from 2001 to 2009 of 125 subjects who exercise regularly in the PROSA program at Universidad de Antioquia and were discriminated by decade and gender. Results: The results showed that VO2max reached its peak between 30 and 39 years of age in men (52.0 ± 2.5 ml * kg-1 * min-1) and women (42.9 ± 3.5 ml * kg-1 * min-1). There were significant differences between the VO2max of men and women and the decline in all age groups, except for those over 70 years of age. The VO2max of men in the study was maintained between the 70 and 90 percentiles, while that of women was between 70 and 80 percentiles. Conclusion: The decline in VO2max associated with age is different for men and women and it is different in almost all age groups
Compelling evidence reveals that oral chronic infection and oral inflammation generate systemic consequences

The mouth is the gateway to our body. It represents~10% of human body volume; however, importantfunctions rely on the mouth: eating, degustation,exploring the world as a child, chewing, digestion,tasting, biting, breathing through the mouth, vomiting,kissing, smiling, speaking, nonverbal communication,sex appeal, and social relations also depend on havinga healthy and functional mouth. The teeth, tongue,gums, nerves, muscles, ligaments, veins, arteries, bones,connective tissue, and epithelia are organized in thecomplex structural array that constitutes the mouth.The mouth establishes anatomical relationships withother essential organs like the pharynx, the esophagus,the nose, the face, the ears, the orbits and, perhaps mostimportant, the brain. The physiologic mouth boundarywith the body is by far more complex. Just to mentionthat saliva is an extremely important defensive bodyfluid, released into the mouth by which innate andacquired immune mechanisms effectively defend thehost against foreign insults. Saliva flow reduction inde-fectible results in increasing dental decay, periodontaldisease, and oral ulcers
Pregnancy and health-related quality of life: A cross sectional study
Authors: Ramírez Vélez Robinson
Published: December 2019

Objective: To evaluate and identify determinants of health related quality of life (HRQoL) during pregnancy. Methods: In this descriptive exploratory study in sixty-four nulliparous pregnant women, completed the questionnaire: HRQoL (Colombian standard version of the Medical Outcome Study Short-Form Health Survey -SF12v2-), and sociodemographic determinants (i.e., age, place of origin, education, marital status, and occupation) during the second trimester.Results: Mean age of patients included was 19.1±2.7 years old and gestational age was 17.6 ± 3.4 weeks. The participants reported higher HRQoL scores in the vitality domain (56±11), followed by mental health (5110), and general health (50±11).Moreover, the lowest score was demonstrated in the domains of emotional role (18±5) and physical role (25±4). Having a higher household socioeconomic level was significantly correlated with higher scores in the physical role, general health, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health. Being married or cohabiting was significantly correlated with all the SF-12v2 domains, with the exception of the Bodily pain domain.Conclusions: While we have included a comprehensive assessment of socioeconomic variables needed to assess and identify the factors determining the HRQoL during pregnancy, further studies are needed that can guide the expectations of women, their health care providers, and public policy.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Different forms of abusive practices are very common in medical schools and have serious implications on vocational and professional formation. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of perception of abuse in a university in Colombia and to identify associated factors.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to December 2008 in a private medical school. A proportional cycle-based stratified sampling technique and randomized sampling per semester was done. Socio demographic, academic, and abuse-related variables were obtained.Results: One hundred twenty-eight students participated in the study. The prevalence of perception of abuse was 40.6%. The most common type of abuse was psychological (98%) and unjustified critique (10.9%), ridiculing (10.7%), shouting (10%), and discredit (9.5%) were the most frequent manifestations. Professors in preclinical courses were reported as the most prevalent abusers (25.9%), followed by clinical professors (19.8%). The frequency of abusive manifestations was rare (15.8% and 11.5%) in preclinical and clinical years, respectively. The abusive manifestations were most frequent in pathology and pediatrics in the preclinical and clinical years,  espectively. Nineteen percent of the victims of abuse reported such to somebody. The main consequences were desire to withdraw from the career (63.2%) and change of career (36.8%). Increased perception of abuse (OR: 4.74 95% IC: 1.9-11.4 p=0.001) was associated during the clinical years.Conclusions: Although abusive practices are more frequent during clinical years, they do not constitute a systematic behavior among medical students from a private university in Colombia in comparison with other  tudies.
Curricular Design, a shared responsibility.
Authors: Tovar María Clara , Sarmiento Pedro
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Curricular design is mainly affected by the following: the principles, the main basic problem definitions, and the structure. These components come together to find specific solutions to problems in many disciplines. This study contributes to incentivize reflections in the curricular practice and to search in the curricular fields to establish institutional policies related to the curricular management of academic programs aiming to improve their pertinence and quality. Objectives: To describe the curricular design methods, principles and main basic problem definitions in the academic programs of the Faculty of Health at Universidad del Valle. Methodology: We used hermeneutic phenology as the qualitative focus methodology, which allows us to understand and describe what curricular design agents have lived during a certain past period. The Focal groups were interviewed by the academic program committees of the Faculty of Health at Universidad del Valle. Results: Each academic program considers aspects like the normative factor, as well as the national, local, and international context. Some academic programs developed their own curriculum with different associations they made to improve their curriculum. On the other hand the participation of teachers in curricular design is constant but graduate student and employee participation fluctuates. Conclusions: Teacher performance is based on discipline formation; however, it is necessary to understand the curricular design stage as an issue to improve their university labor. The teacher formative process related with the curricular design of the academic programs should be strengthened, thinking of their personal pertinence and quality.

Authors: Pachajoa Harry Mauricio , Isaza Carolina , Vargas Carolina , Saldarriaga Wilmar
Published: December 2019

Williams-Beuren syndrome has an estimated incidence of one case in every 10,000 births. It is secondary to microdeletion of a fragment in the long arm of chromosome 7, which contains several candidate genes for the characteristic phenotype of typical facies, supravalvular aortic stenosis, and variable mental retardation with a friendly personality. This article focuses on the report of two cases, with classic but varied phenotypic findings, of this syndrome for which molecular diagnosis with fluorescent in situ hybridization was available. Additionally, we suggest a protocol for complementary studies needed to characterize each patient.

Authors: Chepurnenko Svetlana A. , Shavkuta Galina V. , Nasytko Alina D.
Published: December 2019

Aim: to present a clinical case of amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism in a patient with paroxysmal atrial fi brillation.

Results. Before taking amiodarone, the patient suffered from subclinical hypothyroidism. The level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was 6.2 mIU/L, thyroxine (T4) — 9.2 pmol/L. Against the background of taking amiodarone in a maintenance dose of 200 mg per day 5 days a week with a break of 2 days, clinically severe hypothyroidism developed with a TSH level of more than 16 mIU/L. An electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded sinus bradycardia with a heart rate (HR) of 37 beats per minute. Paroxysms of atrial fi brillation have stopped. According to the daily ECG monitoring recorded throughout the sinus rhythm with maximum heart rate of 92 beats/min., minimum of 35 beats/min. The circadian rhythm profi le was correct. No pauses were detected for more than two seconds. Transient atrioventricular block was of 1 degree (during sleep). Ectopic activity was represented by supraventricular extrasystoles 112 per day: 107 single, 1 pair, 1 group. Ventricular extrasystoles: 55 per day: polymorphic, solitary. No diagnostically signifi cant elevation or depression of the ST segment was detected. After the abolition of amiodarone, thyroid function was recovered. Levothyroxine was not prescribed. However, paroxysms of atrial fi brillation began to occur again. For the prevention of paroxysms, sotalol 160 mg per day was prescribed.

Conclusion. Thus, the development of clinically pronounced amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism has contributed to the existing thyroid dysfunction in the patient. The assessment of the thyroid gland function and its further monitoring in the process of taking the drug is prescribed. Amiodarone therapy is performed in case of ineffectiveness of other antiarrhythmic drugs and, as a rule, is not used for primary prescription.

Published: December 2019

Aim. To study the cardioprotective effect of levorotatory ethylmethylhydroxypyridine malate enantiomer in combination with rosuvastatin on the model of doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.

Material and methods. The research was conducted using 80 Langendorff perfused Wistar rat hearts (OOO “Kardioprotekt”, Saint-Petersburg) after a 3-day simulation of doxorubicin cardiomyopathy. The selection criteria for the evaluation of cardioprotective effect in the administration of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine derivatives and their combination with rosuvastatin were the indicators of left ventricular contractility, Tension-Time Index (t TTI), the diameter of cardiomyocytes.

Results. During the experiment, it was found that the introduction of doxorubicin has a cardiotoxic effect, manifested through a decrease in the left ventricle contractility by 30–45% and an increase in the t TTI index by 4 times (“diastolic defect”). The introduction of a racemic mixture of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine malate at a dose of 93 mg/kg prevents the reduction of the left ventricle contractility and prevents the development of a “diastolic defect”, restraining the increase in the t TTI index by 32%, while the ethylmethylhydroxypyridine enantiomer at a dose of 93 mg/kg is more effective and its positive effect increases in combination with rosuvastatin at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg.

Conclusion. The use of oxypyridine derivatives at doses of 50 mg/kg and 93 mg/kg, as well as their combination with rosuvastatin prevented the development of a “diastolic defect”. The highest effi ciency was revealed for the use of a combination of levorotatory ethylmethylhydroxypyridine malate enantiomer at a dose of 93 mg/kg with rosuvastatin at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg.

Novel dihalogen ring-substituted isopropyl 3-phenyl-2-cyanoacrylates, RPhCH=C(CN)CO2CH(CH3)2 (where R is 2,5-dibromo, 3,5-dibromo, 2,3-dichloro, 2,4-dichloro, 2,5-dichloro, 2,6-dichloro, 3,4-dichloro, 3,5-dichloro, 2,4-difluoro, 2,5-difluoro, 2,6-difluoro) were prepared and copolymerized with styrene. The acrylates were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-disubstituted benzaldehydes and isopropyl cyanoacetate and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR. All the acrylates were copolymerized with styrene in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70C. The composition of the copolymers was calculated from nitrogen analysis, and the structures were analyzed by IR, 1H and 13C-NMR, GPC, DSC, and TGA.
Stabilisation of Aragonite: The Role of Mg2+ and Other Impurity Ions
Authors: Boon Matthew , Rickard William , Rohl Andrew , Jones Franca
Published: December 2019

Aragonite formation and stabilisation in seawater is still an area of active investigation since the thermodynamically stable product at room temperature is calcite. In this manuscript, purely inorganic systems that were found to stabilise aragonite were analysed by various techniques. Dynamic Light Scattering was used to characterise the nucleation behaviour of the system and it was found that the presence of magnesium ions during crystal formation inhibits nucleation overall, not just calcite nucleation. In addition, it was found that sulfate is not necessary to stabilise aragonite. Microanalysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) revealed that the aragonite that was formed had a disordered core with, sodium, magnesium and sulfate ions incorporated into the structure. To the best of the authors’ knowledge this is the first time an ACC core in aragonite has been visualised in a completely abiotic, synthetic system (in the absence of organic molecules). Inclusion of these impurities into the structure may explain the stability of aragonite in natural seawaters.

In this communication, we report the straightforward

synthesis of unprecedented electron-acceptors based on dicationic P-containing PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) where two phosphoniums are connected through various PAHs backbones. The impact of pi-extension on both the optical and redox properties is investigated using a joint experimental/theoretical approach.

Finally, (spectro)-electrochemical studies prove that these

compounds possess three redox states and EPR studies confirms the in situ formation of an organic radical.

Stroke may cause death for anyone, including youngsters. One of the early stroke detection techniques is a Computerized Tomography (CT) scan. This research aimed to optimize hyperparameter in Deep Learning, Random Search and Bayesian Optimization for determining the right hyperparameter. The CT scan images were processed by scaling, grayscale, smoothing, thresholding, and morphological operation. Then, the images feature was extracted by the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). This research was performed a feature selection to select relevant features for reducing computing expenses, while deep learning based on hyperparameter setting was used to the data classification process. The experiment results showed that the Random Search had the best accuracy, while Bayesian Optimization excelled in optimization time.

Published: December 2019

Objetivo. Determinar la incidencia de pérdida en el seguimiento (PEES) en pacientes tratados por tuberculosis (TB) resistente a rifampicina o multidrogorresistente (TB-RR/MDR) y los factores asociados a esta condición de egreso en Ecuador.

Métodos. Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de pacientes con TB-RR/MDR tratados con el esquema de 18 a 24 meses de la Organización Mundial de la Salud en 2014 y 2015 notificados al Ministerio de Salud del Ecuador. Se determinó la incidencia de PEES y se compararon las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los casos egresados como PEES versus los egresados como éxito de tratamiento. Se analizó la sobrevida con regresión de Cox para evaluar factores asociados a PEES.

Resultados. De 328 casos, 270 (82,3%) fueron analizados porque tuvieron condición de egreso notificada. El egreso como PEES fue 39,6% y el éxito de tratamiento 50,4%. Los factores de riesgo asociados a PEES fueron: antecedente de egreso como PEES en episodio previo de TB, cociente de riesgos instantáneos (HR, por sus siglas en inglés): 2,96 (1,53-5,73), P < 0,001; adicción al alcohol o drogas, HR: 2,82 (1,10-7,23), P = 0,031 y tener diagnóstico por la prueba Xpert® (TB-RR), HR: 1,53 (1,0-2,35), P = 0,048. Del total de PEES, 43% ocurrió después de nueve meses de tratamiento.

Conclusión. La incidencia de PEES en pacientes con TB-RR/MDR en Ecuador está por encima del promedio en la Región de las Américas. Los tres factores identificados refuerzan la implementación de regímenes acortados y atención centrada en el paciente, siguiendo la Estrategia Fin a la Tuberculosis.

The analysis of the empathy factor in students of medical sciences
Authors: Sobczak Krzysztof , Popowicz Błażej
Published: December 2019

Introduction:
Many research projects identify empathy as one of the most important factors necessary for efficient cooperation with patients. For that reason, nowadays, students of medical schools are more often offered access to training, which helps them to develop empathic communication.

Aim:
The aim of our research was to compare empathy scores of students of medical sciences in Poland against those of students from outside of our system of education.

Material and methods:
In our study, the sample included 536 students from the Medical University of Gdańsk. The participants filled in Baron–Cohen’s Empathy Quotient (EQ) – 40 questionnaire and another one, concerning data on demographics. To analyse dependence between discrete variables and statistical heterogeneity of groups, we applied Pearson’s χ2 test and analysis of variance.

Results and discussion:
The results revealed a correlation between female sex and the value of empathy score (χ2 = 86.781, df = 55, P = 0.004). Female students of nursing and obstetrics had the highest average empathy score (EQ = 49.3), which was followed by the students of physiotherapy (EQ = 47.1). Male students of pharmacy had the lowest score (EQ = 44).

Conclusions:
The findings of our study confirm a connection between sex and level of empathy. Majority of students of those specialisations we researched (61%) had an average level of empathy (class II EQ = 33–51). We did not reveal dependence between the year or the mode of study and the EQ.
A cidade vivida nos espaços de arte pela perspectiva da leveza
Authors: Silva Paulo Celso , Da Silva Cássia Pérez
Published: December 2019

Para tratar da relação entre o urbano e a cidade recorre-se às obras de land art da artista Agnes Denes, para quem a estética proposta e o suporte utilizado remete a um engajamento sócio político. Foram escolhidas três intervenções em New York: Rice/Tree/Burial; Wheatfield - A Confrontation e, A forest for New York - A peace park for mind and soul. Ao intervir no cotidiano, a artista permite ao transeunte refletir acerca dos territórios em que o viver acontece. Busca em um campo de trigo a leveza que, o homem contemporâneo experimenta em aparatos tecnológicos de comunicação, os quais, inclusive, carrega consigo para registrar momentos fugidios na/da cidade. Para a perspectiva da leveza, recorre-se ao filósofo francês Gilles Lipovetsky, para o qual ela hoje escorre da ordem do imaginário para o real pela miniaturização das coisas. Entretanto, a artista ocupa acres dos espaços de reserva do capital para trazer a leveza, seja de uma floresta ou de um campo de cereal. A leveza imaginária/real sentida na pele, na mudança química do ar da cidade, na distribuição do trigo pelo mundo. Da perspectiva de Heller e Amorim Soares e Santos, pensa-se o cotidiano e sua necessária superação.
O ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS E SUAS CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA A EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL NO ALCANCE DA GESTÃO AMBIENTAL SUSTENTÁVEL
Authors: Do Nascimento Rosalina Maria de Lima Leite , Mól Gerson de Sousa
Published: December 2019

Neste trabalho apresentamos uma investigação que teve como objetivo saber como o ensino de Ciências tem contribuído para a Educação Ambiental– EA.  O estudo foi realizado por meio de pesquisa qualitativa e contou com revisão bibliográfica e análise documental, com ênfase nas obras de Dias (2004), Santos (2007), Barbieri& Silva (2011) e documentos resultantes de eventos organizados pela Organização das Nações Unidas – ONU para debater sobre os problemas ambientais que ocorrem em todo o mundo. No entanto, embora os resultados evidenciem que esses problemas já vêm sendo discutidos há mais de cinquenta anos e que os líderes governamentais sabem da importância da preservação ambiental, da sustentabilidade e do combate aos problemas sociais, como a fome, as guerras, a poluição, pobreza extrema, entre outros, o estabelecimento das metas nas conferências da ONU não foram suficientes para que todos países se comprometessem no cumprimento e efetivação das ações acordadas. O que se constata é que, muitas vezes, falta vontade política para investimentos em saneamento e distribuição de rendas entre os países para realizarem ações de preservação ambiental, contenção do efeito estufa e diminuição do uso dos recursos não renováveis. A realização dos eventos em âmbito mundial é uma excelente iniciativa para o despertar sobre a urgência de conscientizar sobre a preservação ambiental, mas ainda é necessário pensar estratégias para que o ensino de Ciências possa promover a Educação Ambiental eficiente, de modo a alcançar a gestão ambiental sustentável.

Published: December 2019

The growth of the Islamic economy is currently growing rapidly. This can be seen from the number of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that adopt the principles of Islamic business. Sharia MSME is a means of creating jobs and encouraging economic progresses, and advancing private sector businesses. The emergence of many new entrepreneurs who adopted the sharia system in Aceh becomes a great opportunity as a center for sharia products. Not only sharia products, Sharia MSMEs more broadly include the application of the Islamic financial system, including culture, entertainment, lifestyle, and tourism. The need for Aceh's flagship products wrapped in nuances of Islamic principles is still very limited in Aceh. It becomes an obstacle to make Aceh as a tourist destination with Islamic principles. The number of embroidery craftsmen is still less compared to the number of requests. This condition is based on the work that is still traditional and has not used a computerized machine yet. The limitations of human resource capabilities often become obstacles for using technology, production processes, and business development. The increase in sharia tourism will have a positive impact on the improvement of sharia MSMEs. This can be seen from the level of creativity, knowledge, and marketing according to tourist demand. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a significant influence of creativity, knowledge, and marketing to the improvement of Islamic MSMEs. This research has been conducted with questionnaires for the entrepreneurs’ MSMEs of embroidery products in Aceh. The results of this study indicate that createvity, knowledge, and marketing simultaneously influence the improvement of sharia MSMEs. Partially, creativity and knowledge variables do not influence the improvement of sharia MSMEs, while marketing affects the improvement of sharia MSMEs significantly.

Multilingualism in the Finnish preparatory classroom – does it exist?
Authors: Shestunova Tatsiana
Published: December 2019

The study was conducted with the aim of exploring Finnish preparatory teachers’ attitudes to multilingualism and students’ native languages and to examine teachers’ rules related to the usage of languages in the classroom. The sample consisted of six teachers employed in state schools in the capital area and in Central Finland. Semi-structured interviews were used as the basic instrument. The data revealed that teachers understand the importance of first language development, and also have a positive attitude towards multilingualism in the classroom on a theoretical level. However, when it comes to practice, teachers place significant limitations on first language use in the classrooms and need more knowledge on how to move from monolingual to multilingual practices. These findings suggest that more attention should be paid to pre- and in-service teacher preparation.

Does university performance matter for EU programmes in South East Europe
Authors: Ajdarpašić Suada , Qorraj Gazmend
Published: December 2019

This paper examines the educational system in South East Europe (SEE) within the framework of opportunities coming from the European Union, particularly Horizon 2020, a recent EU innovation and research programme. The specific goal of this article is to measure the impact of the performance of universities in South East Europe and the likelihood of obtaining EU programmes, specifically Horizon 2020 projects. The additional aim is to investigate whether high-ranking universities are successful in obtaining Horizon 2020 projects and, more specifically, if university performance is a significant factor in the success rate in obtaining Horizon 2020 projects. In order to analyse this phenomenon empirically, we compare the main public universities of South East Europe and consider their overall performance in relation to EU programmes obtained. The final outcome of the paper is that there is a clear relationship between the university performance and obtaining Horizon 2020 projects. Therefore, the high performance of a university positively correlates with a high success rate in obtaining Horizon 2020 projects for most of the universities.
Barriers hindering the entry of new firms to the competitive market and profitability of incumbents

Published: December 2019

Recently, entering new firms into a competitive market is getting harder due to different industry barriers. Addressing this concern, the aim of this paper is to measure the relationship between industry barriers that prevent the entry of new rivals and increase the profitability of incumbent firms. The study was based on the data of one hundred and seven executives of firms that operate in the Republic of Kosovo, and it attempts to assert and order the market entry barriers. The responses were collected by questionnaires and the econometric model was constructed, to test this relationship. The findings were obtained using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multivariate regression. Econometric results indicated that seven dimensions of industry barriers have a direct and positive impact on the profitability of incumbents and serve as barriers for new firms to enter the market, and showed that business executives in Kosovo perceive capital requirements of non-incumbents as the most important entry barrier, whereas access to distribution channels as the least important. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed and explained.

Перспективность интродукции восточноазиатских видов древесных растений в ботаническом саду Института биологии Коми научного центра
Authors: Мартынов Л. Г. , Пунегов А. Н. , Смирнова А. Н.
Published: December 2019

Дана оценка интродукции 59 видов и форм древесных растений восточноазиатской флоры в ботаническом саду Института биологии Коми научного центра Уральского отделения РАН. Многолетними наблюдениями установлено, что виды растений из Восточной Азии рано начинают и поздно заканчивают рост. Это приводит к неполному одревеснению побегов и их обмерзанию. Показана перспективность интродукции восточноазиатских видов, имеющих жизненную форму низкорослого кустарника. После значительного обмерзания кустарники быстро отрастают и восстанавливают первоначальные размеры благодаря относительно высокой побегообразовательной способности, затем цветут и плодоносят. Из 46 таксонов живой коллекции в генеративном состоянии находятся 33. У 18 видов отмечается регулярное плодоношение. Растения 18 наименований выращивают семенным и вегетативным способами. Для ограниченного использования в озеленении отобрано и рекомендовано 18 новых видов и форм растений восточноазиатского происхождения.

Methodological approach on optimizing the speed of navigation to reduce fuel consumption and increase energy efficiency of the cruising ship
Authors: Radonja Radoslav , Pavić Davor , Glujić Darko
Published: December 2019

Modern large cruise ships have great energy needs for different technological processes on board. The energy needs depend on the operating conditions and the required speed of the ship, and the high energy requirements usually mean high fuel costs. With the enforcement of international regulations aimed at reducing environmental pollution, various measures and procedures have been proposed to increase the energy efficiency of ships. This paper outlines method that can be applied to ships without installing new or modification of existing systems and will require somewhat increased attention of chief engineer during voyage and his close cooperation with the captain. Traditionally, the required speed of the ship will be determined by the length of the fairway divided by the time that is available for travel. Analyzing originally collected data from the cruising ship it was concluded that by optimizing the speed of navigation according to the requirements of the route it is possible to achieve significant fuel savings, reduce travel costs, increase energy efficiency and reduce environmentally harmful emissions of the ship.
Suggestions for improving the effectiveness of environmental education in the maritime sector
Authors: Čulin Jelena , Bielić Toni , Jakšić Krešimir
Published: December 2019

Research shows that many barriers to pro-environmental behaviour in the maritime industry exist despite significant efforts of various stakeholders, and there is a need to put additional efforts to improve the sustainability of shipping. Education has an important role because a lack of environmental knowledge is almost always identified as a barrier to environmental concern and behaviour. However, eliminating knowledge gaps and raising concern does not necessarily translate to behaviour change, because behaviour depends on numerous factors, which moderate and mediate one another. Effectiveness of education activities may be improved if potential barriers are identified and targeted. This paper reviews determinants of pro-environmental behaviour and provides some suggestions for educators to plan and execute educational activities to increase the willingness of seafarers and shore-based personnel to adopt environmentally-friendly practices.
The Influence of Yard Trucks on Berth Operations in Smaller Container Terminals
Authors: Stojaković Maja , Twrdy Elen
Published: December 2019

Nowadays smaller container terminals are facing an increase in traffic and ship sizes and are consequently subject to extreme pressure form ship-owners that require rapid and efficient transhipment operations in the port, the achievement of which is only possible with the assignment of the proper type and number of quay cranes to each ship and with a good level of synergy between the cranes and the transfer mechanisation. The latter has a significant impact on the cranes working and waiting times and affects the entirety of berth operations. Existing terminals that cannot afford to invest in new modern horizontal transport technologies are most commonly using yard trucks that provide less efficient port transfer operations. That is why in the paper a simulation approach has been used in order to determine how a different number of yard trucks assigned to a single quay crane can affect the productivity of that crane and the productivity of the whole berth subsystem.
