Published: April 2020

Ethnic tourism is an important cultural and educational direction in the field of knowledge of traditions and everyday life of an ethnic group. The subject of the research is ethnic tourism. The research is aimed at solving the scientific problem of substantiating and developing modern forms of internal ethnotourism in a multicultural region. The purpose of the work is to determine the features and prospects of ethnic tourism in the sustainable development of territories. Methods: comparative and geographical, statistical methods, SWOT-analysis, field research. It was revealed that Russia, being a multi-ethnic state, has significant prerequisites for the development of ethnic tourism and contributes to the inclusion of the original culture of peoples in the world heritage. Important centers of ethnotourism in the regions of Russia are ethnographic museums, open-air museums, and ethnographic villages, the concentration of which can be observed in Western Siberia and the Ural-Volga region. One of the promising areas for the development of ethnic tourism is the Orenburg region, which has a number of competitive advantages (the presence of various forms of folk art, including the holding of popular mass national holidays; the production of exclusive goods and services that are products of folk crafts; the presence of a greater number and variety of types of cultural heritage objects). The article concludes that the development of ethnic tourism cultivates respect for the traditional culture of various peoples of Russia.

Authors: Belenov Nikolay Valerevich
Published: April 2020

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the toponymic area of the Moksha-Mordovian Blagodarovka village of the Borsky district of the Samara region. The aim of the article is an introduction into scientific discourse and the etymological analysis of toponymic vocabulary of the Blagodarovka village and its outskirts. The methods of the article are based on the principles of toponymic researches formulated in the works of leading Russian onomasticians. The article is based on the author's experience. As a result of the researches, the main characteristics and dialect belonging of the Blagodarovsky dialect of the Moksha-Mordovian language were determined, the geographical terminology existing in it was fixed, and the toponymic vocabulary was collected and analyzed. It is concluded that Blagodarovsky dialect of the Moksha-Mordovian language, despite a relatively short period of existence in the Russian environment with separation from other Mordovian language areas, is one of the most Russified Mordovian dialects of the Samara Volga region. A number of geographical names of the toponymic area of Blagodarovka find identical or close parallels in most other Moksha-Mordovian and Erzya-Mordovian toponymic areas of the region. The natural and geographical settlement conditions of native Blagodarovsky dialect speakers of the Moksha-Mordovian language as in the case of other Mordovian dialects of the Samara Volga region had a significant impact on the composition and semantics of the geographical terminology that exists in it.

Published: April 2020

O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar a coesão de grupo em atletas de Futebol, de categorias de base, e comparar os níveis de coesão de grupo entre as equipes investigadas. Para isso, participaram do estudo, de forma voluntária, 84 jogadores de Futebol com idade entre 13 e 19 anos (16,04 ± 1,73), todos do sexo masculino e jogadores de 3 clubes do Estado de São Paulo. Cabe ressaltar que todos participantes preencheram o Termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido (TCLE) e o termo de assentimento, no caso dos menores de idade. Todos participantes responderam ao Questionário de Ambiente de Grupo – QEG, adaptado e validado para a língua portuguesa, além de um questionário sociodemográfico. Para as análises, utilizou-se de análises descritivas e inferenciais. Os resultados apontam, para análise intragrupo, independentemente do clube, que os grupos apresentam maiores escores para dimensão atração individual no grupo-tarefa, seguida da atração individual no grupo-social e menor escore para dimensão integração no grupo-tarefa. Em relação as análises entre clubes, pode-se observar que o clube 3 apresentou maiores escores que o clube 2, apenas, para as dimensões atração individual no grupo-tarefa e integração no grupo-tarefa. Diante do exposto, conclui-se que atletas de categorias de base parecem priorizar as dimensões de atração individual, que pode estar envolvido com a vontade de se profissionalizar e a incerteza de se esse objetivo será alcançado. Além disso, os atletas do clube 3 apresentaram maior coesão que os atletas do clube 2, indicando que nesse clube, possivelmente, tenha uma preocupação maior com a preparação psicológica, aliado a um estilo de liderança preferencial por parte dos atletas.

Published: April 2020

This article presents an overview of the technology status and market trends of LPG-fueled vehicles through the literature approach to re-evaluate their future. In the review, it is discovered that LPG vehicles are globally increasing, though with a concentration in some countries. Of the 25 countries included in the World LPG Association (WLPGA) annual report 2018, Turkey, Poland, India, Ukraine, and Mexico are the countries with the best LPG vehicle trends in average of 23%. Meanwhile, Australia, Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and Germany with a long history of implementing LPG as an alternative fuel has experienced a decline in the 2013-2017 period by 17%. This was allegedly due to the penetration of diesel-fueled vehicles over the last ten years. Moreover, developed countries experiencing decline have succeeded in developing electric-based vehicles such as Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) due to stringent demands for emission standards.

Authors: Chan Allan Kah Hay , Yusof Mohd Imran , Abdullah Mohd Shafie
Published: April 2020

Study Design: This is an observational study of computed tomography (CT) data.Purpose: The C1 and C2 laminas in the Malaysian Malay population were analyzed for the feasibility of fitting 3.5-mm laminar screws in a cross configuration.Overview of Literature: Morphometric analysis of the C1 and C2 laminas has been performed for various populations but not for the Malaysian Malay population.Methods: A total of 330 CT cervical images were measured to establish the bicortical diameter of the C1 and C2 laminas as well as their height and length. The C1 posterior tubercle bicortical diameter and height were also determined from these images. All parameters were measured up to 0.1 mm, and statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). An independent t -test and the Pearson chi-square test were used to determine the mean difference and screw acceptance.Results: The means of the C1 lamina measurements were 5.79±1.19 mm in diameter, 9.76±1.51 mm in height, and 20.70±1.86 mm in length. The means of the measurements of the posterior tubercle were 7.20±1.88 mm in diameter and 10.51±1.68 mm in height. The means of the C2 lamina measurements were 5.74±1.31 mm in diameter, 11.76±1.69 mm in height, and 24.96±2.56 mm in length. Overall 65.5% of C1 and 80.3% of C2 laminas are able to accept 3.5-mm screws in a cross configuration. Screw acceptability is similar between the right and left sides (p >0.05). However, males have a higher screw acceptability compared with females (p <0.05), except for the C2 left lamina.Conclusions: It is feasible to insert a 3.5-mm screw in a cross configuration in the C1 and C2 laminas of the Malaysian Malay population, especially in males. However, a CT scan should be performed prior to the operation to determine screw acceptability and to estimate screw sizes.

Cooperation between Higher Education Institutions and Non-governmental Organizations in Higher Education: International Discourse
Authors: Tryma Kateryna
Published: April 2020

The article is aimed to provide content analysis of the international discourse on interaction and cooperation between higher education institutions and non-governmental organizations. Being different in nature and characteristics, higher education institutions and non-governmental organizations are social actors whose activities, among other things, are aimed at ensuring the development of the society. In order to achieve this aim, higher education institutions and non-governmental organizations cooperate in various fields and formats that go beyond the higher education sector.
An important result of the content analysis is introduction of the terminological phrase "non-governmental organization in higher education", which corresponds to the international classifiers "World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations" and "International Classification of Non-profit Organizations". The typology of " non-governmental higher education organization" includes non-governmental organizations whose activities are related to the provision of access to higher education, the organization of educational services and the quality assurance of higher education. The categorical conceptual apparatus for describing cooperation between higher education institutions and non-governmental organizations needs to be expanded and clarified in order to fully and adequately specify the processes of their interaction.
The analysis of the intellectual and documentary heritage of the Bologna Process, the EU, UNESCO, and other international associations shows that cooperation between higher education institutions and non-governmental organizations is not only to ensure access to higher education, butit is much more wider. Non-governmental organizations are able to organize and provide educational services, such as in the field of non-formal education; partner with higher education institutions in projects addressed to local communities. In addition, non-governmental organizations are an important mechanism for articulating and aggregating the interests and requests of citizens, communities, local communities for higher education, and higher education institutions.
Studying the mechanisms of cooperation between higher education institutions and non-governmental organizations is of great practical importance, since the latter are an authoritative tool for disseminating academic knowledge and practical development of universities, forming a 'knowledge society' and satisfying the needs of the society.

The paper considers a letter written by Robin Ross to
Claude Bissell on December 4, 1959, in which Ross objects to
discrimination against Jews in the admission process to the
Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto from 1957 to
1959. The Ross letter is explored in the context of the ongoing
debate about the possible existence of a quota system at the
faculty; the issue of discrimination on the university campus in
the 1950s; and the structure of Canadian Jewish scholarship
since the Second World War. It bolsters the anecdotal opinion of
previous scholars but still leaves several critical questions
unanswered about the institution and administration of any quota
system.
Pre-TKR isokinetic quadriceps strengthening has a positive effect which may diminish following the intervention despite pain and functional improvements: A case study
Authors: Reynaud Vivien , Dobija Lech , Fournier Pierre-Louis , Lanhers Charlotte , Coudeyre Emmanuel
Published: April 2020

We report a longitudinal survey of a 53-year-old man suffering from right knee osteoarthritis who has undergone total knee replacement (TKR). We aimed at evaluating the effect of a short preoperative isokinetic strengthening program on the functional status, pain, and quadriceps and hamstrings strength before and after TKR. The patient performed a 4-week (6 sessions) preoperative isokinetic strengthening program of the quadriceps and hamstrings. The findings for the concentric strength at 60[Formula: see text]/s, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) were recorded. At baseline the patient presented with an overall KOOS score of 44%, a 6MWT of 444 m, a 63% and 21% strength deficits of the quadriceps and hamstrings, respectively. Following the strengthening program, the quadriceps strength of the operated limb improved ([Formula: see text]121 Nm; [Formula: see text]83%), but the function as reflected by the KOOS score remained unchanged. Following the TKR, the concentric isokinetic strength of the quadriceps reappeared altered (63% of deficit) despite pain and functional improvements. This case report underlines the importance of functional evaluation rather than the maximal strength to assess the effectiveness of TKR. However, further studies are necessary to conceptualize the meaning of maximal strength measurement and the impact of associated deficits, if any.

Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the clinical and computed tomographic (CT) features in the patients with COVID-19 pneumonia confirmed by the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) amplification of the viral DNA from a sputum sample.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

Clinical information and CT findings of a total of 14 patients with COVID-19 infection (age range, 12–83 years; females 6) were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical information includes the history of exposure, laboratory results, and the symptoms (such as fever, cough, headache, etc.); CT findings of chest include the extension and distribution of lesion, the ground-glass opacity (GGO), consolidation, bronchovascular enlarged, irregular linear appearances, pleural effusion, and lymphadenopathy.

RESULTS:

Eight patients had the exposure history for recent travel to Wuhan of Hubei province (8/14, 57%), 6 had the exposure to patients with COVID-19 infection. Significant statistical differences were observed in lymphocyte percentage decreased and C-reactive protein elevated ( p = 0.015). Seven patients had fever, 7 had cough, 2 had headache, 3 had fatigue, 1 had body soreness, 3 had diarrhea, and 2 had no obvious symptoms. In chest CT examination, 10 patients were positive (10/14, 71.43%). Among these patients, 9 had lesions involving both lungs (9/10, 90%), 8 had lesions involving 4 to 5 lobes (8/10, 80%). Most of lesions were distributed peripherally and the most significant lesions were observed in the right lower lobe in 9 patients (9/10, 90%). Nodules were observed in 5 patients (5/10, 50%); GGO, consolidation, and bronchovascular enlarged were shown in 9 patients (9/10, 90%); irregular linear appearances were revealed in 7 patients (7/10, 70%); and pleural effusions were exhibited in 2 patients (2/10, 20%). Last, no patients showed lymphadenopathy.

CONCLUSION:

There were some typical CT features for diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. The radiologists should know these CT findings and clinical information, which could help for accurate analysis in the patients with 2019 novel coronavirus infection.

A Comparative Study of LQR and Integral Sliding Mode Control Strategies for Position Tracking Control of Robotic Manipulators
Authors: Haziq Norsahperi Nor Mohd , A. Danapalasingam Kumeresan
Published: April 2020

This paper provides a systematic comparative study of position tracking control of nonlinear robotic manipulators. The main contribution of this study is a comprehensive numerical simulation assessing position tracking performances and energy consumption of integral sliding mode control (ISMC), a linear-quadratic regulator with integral action (LQRT ), and optimal integral sliding mode control (OISMC) under three conditions; namely, Case I) without the coupling effect, Case II) with the coupling effect on Link 1 only, and Case III) with the coupling effect on Link 2 only. The viability of the concept is evaluated based on three performance criteria, i.e., the step-response characteristics, position tracking error, and energy consumption of the aforementioned controllers. Based upon the simulation study, it has been found that OISMC offers performances almost similar to ISMC with more than 90% improvement of tracking performance under several cases compared to LQRT; however, energy consumption is successfully reduced by 3.6% in comparison to ISMC. Energy consumption of OISMC can be further reduced by applying optimization algorithms in tuning the weighting matrices. This paper can be considered significant as a robotic system with high tracking accuracy and low energy consumption is highly demanded to be implemented in smart factories, especially for autonomous systems.
Space-Time Code Design Using Quaternions, Octonions and Other Non-Associative Structures
Authors: Srivastava Garima , Gupta Rashmi , Kumar Raghvendra , Le Dac-Nhuong
Published: April 2020

There are several non-associative finite dimensional division algebras over different number fields. Their representations in the corresponding matrix algebras preserve additive structure. However, the embedding does not preserve multiplication as matrix multiplication is associative. As such, it gives a generalized matrix representation. Indeed, a non-associative structure provides different platforms for more effective and useful space-time coding satisfying rank criteria, and coding gain criteria for multiple antenna wireless communication. Associative division algebras have dimension restrictions, whereas non-associative division algebras over suitable fields exist in infinitely many dimensions. We illustrate the above program by using octonion algebras.
Delivery, dose, outcomes and resource use of stroke therapy: the SSNAPIEST observational study
Authors: Gittins Matthew , Lugo-Palacios David , Vail Andy , Bowen Audrey , Paley Lizz , Bray Benjamin , Gannon Brenda , Tyson Sarah F
Published: April 2020

Background

Therapy is key to effective stroke care, but many patients receive little.

Objectives

To understand how stroke therapy is delivered in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and which factors are associated with dose, outcome and resource use.

Design

Secondary analysis of the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme, using standard descriptive statistics and multilevel mixed-effects regression models, while adjusting for all known and measured confounders.

Setting

Stroke services in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Participants

A total of 94,905 adults admitted with stroke, who remained an inpatient for > 72 hours.

Results

Routes through stroke services were highly varied (> 800), but four common stroke pathways emerged. Seven distinct impairment-based patient subgroups were characterised. The average amount of therapy was very low. Modifiable factors associated with the average amount of inpatient therapy were type of stroke team, timely therapy assessments, staffing levels and model of therapy provision. More (of any type of) therapy was associated with shorter length of stay, less resource use and lower mortality. More occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychology were also associated with less disability and institutionalisation. Large amounts of physiotherapy were associated with greater disability and institutionalisation.

Limitations

Use of observational data does not infer causation. All efforts were made to adjust for all known and measured confounding factors but some may remain. We categorised participants using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, which measures a limited number of impairments relatively crudely, so mild or rare impairments may have been missed.

Conclusions

Stroke patients receive very little therapy. Modifiable organisational factors associated with greater amounts of therapy were identified, and positive associations between amount of therapy and outcome were confirmed. The reason for the unexpected associations between large amounts of physiotherapy, disability and institutionalisation is unknown. Prospective work is urgently needed to investigate further. Future work needs to investigate (1) prospectively, the association between physiotherapy and outcome; (2) the optimal amount of therapy to provide for different patient groups; (3) the most effective way of organising stroke therapy/rehabilitation services, including service configuration, staffing levels and working hours; and (4) how to reduce unexplained variation in resource use.

Mozaikok a szakképzés fejlődés közelmúlt évtizedeiből
Authors: Lükő István
Published: April 2020

A szakképzés utóbbi három évtizedes változásai meghatározóan fontosak önmagukban is és a technika-technológiai változások szempontjából is. Ezt a viszonylag rövid történelmi szakaszt átfogó korszakot növeljük a rendszerváltás előtti közvetlen évtized, valamint az EU elődjének tekinthető EGK integrációs törekvésének mozaikos bemutatásával. A rendszerváltásra és napjainkra fókuszálásunkat nemzetközi beágyazottságba illesztve mutatjuk be. Értelmezésünkben a szakképzés közép, és felsőfokú iskolarendszerei összekapcsolódnak. Saját vizsgálódásaim is igazolják korszakos technológiai átalakulások és a szakképzés fejlődésének „együtt futását”, kölcsönös egymásra hatását. Tanulmányom célkitűzései között vannak a 3. és 4. ipari forradalommal fémjelzett korszak jellemzőinek, hatásainak, továbbá az első szakképzési törvény és az OKJ megjelenésének, valamint a Magyar Szakképzési Társaság megalakulásának, működésének a bemutatása. A kétféle technológia a digitális pedagógiában kapcsolódik szervesen egybe. Az Ipar 4.0 kihívásai hazánkban is kikényszerítették a szakképzés stratégiai válaszát, amit a Szakképzés 4.0 elnevezésű középtávú fejlesztési koncepcióban olvashatunk. A sok szempontból korszakosnak mondható szervezeti és tartalmi átalakítások együttesen jelennek meg a megvalósítás folyamatában. Ennek a tervezetnek néhány részletét, elemét is bemutatom a cikkemben.The changes having taken place in VET during the latest three decades have been decisive themselves but also from the aspects of technical-technological changes. I extend the era covering this relatively short historical period by giving a mosaic-like introduction of the decade directly preceding the transition and of the integration endeavours of the EEC that can be considered as the ancestor of the EU. My focus on the transition and our days is embedded in an international context. In my understanding, the middle and higher level school systems of vocational education are intertwined. My own researches also proved the “co-running”, the mutual impact of epochal technological changes and the development of VET. The objectives of my study include the introduction of the features and effects of the era marked by the third and the fourth industrial revolution, the initiation of the first act on VET and the National Training Registry as well as the establishment and operation of the Hungarian VET Association. The two types of technologies get closely intertwined in digital pedagogy. The challenges put by Industry 4.0 enforced the strategic response of VET in Hungary, too, which can be read in the mid-term development concept titled VET 4.0. The organizational and content related changes, that are really epochal from several aspects, are appearing together in the process of implementation. I also present some details and elements of this plan in my paper.
Vélemények a home office-ról – előnyök, hátrányok
Authors: Kis Éva Irén
Published: April 2020

A home office, amely a távmunka otthonról végzett verziója, és egyre elterjedtebb nem csak a multinacionális, de a kisebb cégeknél is, mint foglalkoztatási forma. Alkalmazását az informatika fejlődése teszi lehetővé, népszerűségét az egyén oldaláról az otthoni munkavégzés kényelmi elemei, a munkába járás idejének megtakarítása indokolja. A munkáltatóknak költségmegtakarítást tesz lehetővé, és meghatározott tevékenységi körökben előnyös lehet a munkaerőhiány kezelésében, a tehetségekért folytatott konkurenciaharcban. Elvileg egyik eszköze lehet a foglalkoztatottság további növelésének is Ugyanakkor pozitívumok mellett negatív tulajdonságokkal, hatásokkal is jellemezhető mind a munkavállalók, mind a munkáltatók oldaláról. A preferenciák, illetve a home office alkalmazás körülményeinek feltárására cikk szerzője kérdőíves kutatást végzett az ország vezető távközlési vállalatcsoportjának munkatársai körében. A felmérés alapján kialakult kép akár már a közeljövő hazai tendenciáit is tükrözheti. Opinions about home office – advantages and disadvantagesHome office is a version of remote work done at home, and it is a form of employment more and more widely used not only by multinational companies but smaller ones, as well. Its application is enabled by the development of informatics, and its popularity is rooted in the comfort elements of doing work at home and sparing the time of travelling to and from work. It allows the employers to save costs and in certain activity fields, it can be useful in managing labour shortage and in the competition for talented people. In principle, it can be a tool of increasing employment, as well. At the same time, besides the positive factors, it has negative features and impacts, too, on both the employees’ and the employers’ side. In order to explore the preferences and the circumstances of applying home office, the author implemented a query-based survey involving the employees of Hungary’s leading telecommunications company group. The picture gained from the survey might even reflect the domestic trends of the near future.
A duális képzés eredményességre gyakorolt hatása
Authors: Kocsis Zsófia
Published: April 2020

Világszerte kihívást jelent a felsőoktatási intézményeknek, hogy képzéseivel előkészítse a hallgatók munkaerőpiaci elhelyezkedését. A felsőoktatási politikai reformok keresik a megfelelő megoldást erre, s az egyik ilyen megoldásnak tekintjük a duális képzést. A duális képzés célja az egyetemek és a munkaadók közötti kooperáció támogatása, amelynek többek között a német szakképzésben vannak hagyományai (Baethge & Wolter, 2015; Göhringer, 2002). Tanulmányunkban kvantitatív és kvalitatív adatokra támaszkodva vizsgáljuk a Magyarországon 2015-ben indult duális képzés és a hagyományos típusú képzésben résztvevő hallgatók tapasztalatit, valamint a munka és a tanulás integrációját, és az eredményességi percepciókat. Arra a kérdésre kerestük a választ, hogy melyik hallgató csoportnak jobb a tanulmányi eredménye, s milyen fejlődést érzékelnek a munkavégzéssel kapcsolatos képességeikben. Eredményeink azt mutatták, hogy a duális hallgatóknak jobbak a tanulmányi eredményeik, mint a hagyományos képzésben lévőké. A kutatás interjús részében fény derült arra, hogy a hallgatók jelentős képességfejlődést érzékelnek, azonban eredményeink további kvantitatív eljárások lebonyolítására hívja fel a figyelmet.Universities worldwide are challenged to prepare their students for expectation of the labor market. Higher education policy reforms are looking for the right solution, our opinion is that a dual education can be one of the best solution. The purpose of dual education is to confirm relationship between higher education institutions and employers, which has traditions in German vocational training (Baethge & Wolter, 2015; Göhringer, 2002). In our research based on quantitative and qualitative data, we examine the experiences of students in dual education and traditional education, the balance between work and study, and the academic performance of students.  During the research, we tried to find the answer to the questions of which student group had better academic achievement and how they thought improvement in their abilities.

This review presents information on changes in the accreditation standards of medical schools in Korea by the Korean Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation (KIMEE) from 2000 to 2019. Specifically, the following aspects are explained: the development process, setting principles and directions, evaluation items, characteristics of the standards, and validity testing over the course of 4 cycles. The first cycle of accreditation (2000–2005) focused on ensuring the minimum requirements for the educational environment. The evaluation criteria emphasized the core elements of medical education, including facilities and human resources. The second cycle of accreditation (2007–2010) emphasized universities’ commitment to social accountability and the pursuit of excellence in medical education. It raised the importance of qualitative standards for judging the content and quality of education. In the post-second accreditation cycle (2012–2018) which means third accreditation cycle, accreditation criteria were developed to standardize the educational environment and programs and to be used for curriculum development in order to continually improve the quality of basic medical education. Most recently, the ASK 2019 (Accreditation Standards of KIMEE 2019) accreditation cycle focused on qualitative evaluations in accordance with the World Federation of Medical Education’s accreditation criteria to reach the international level of basic medical education, which emphasizes the need for a student-centered curriculum, communication with society, and evaluation through a comprehensive basic medical education course. The KIMEE has developed a basic medical education evaluation and accreditation system in a step-by-step manner, as outlined above. Understanding previous processes will be helpful for the future development of accreditation criteria for medical schools in Korea.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins responsible for water homeostasis and important for proper functioning of all body systems, including reproductive structures. This study was designed to determine their localization and quantitative changes in the pig ovary during different stages of the estrous cycle and early pregnancy. The expression of AQP 1, 5 and 9 proteins was determined by immunocytochemistry and Western blot analyses. AQP1 was found in the plasma membranes of capillary endothelium, AQP5 – in the plasma membranes of granulosa cells of developing follicles and flattened follicle cells of the primordial follicles, and AQP9 – in granulosa cells of the developing follicles. In the cyclic pigs, the expression of AQP1 and 5 proteins was the highest on Days 18-20, but did not change significantly between Days 2-4, 10-12 and 14-16 of the cycle. In pregnant pigs (Days 14-16 and 30-32), the expression of AQP1 and 5 did not change and was similar to that observed during Days 10-12 and 14-16. In turn, AQP9 expression did not change between all studied periods. In conclusion, studied AQP are localized in different cells populations, the endothelial and granulosa cells, and AQP1 and 5 seem to be crucial for follicular development in pigs.

Schizophrenia is a devastating disorder affecting 1 % of the world's population. An important role in the study of this disease is played by animal models. Since there is evidence that acute psychotic episodes can have consequences on later cognitive functioning, the present study has investigated the effects of a single systemic application of higher doses of (+)MK-801 (3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) to adult male Long-Evans rats from the Institute’s breeding colony on delayed testing in the active place avoidance task with reversal on the Carousel (a rotating arena). Besides significant mortality due to the injections, a disruption of procedural functions in active place avoidance, after the dose 5 mg/kg was observed. It was concluded that Long-Evans rats from our breeding colony do not represent a suitable biomodel for studying the effects of single high-dose NMDA antagonists.
Effects of Ni and Cu Addition on Tensile Properties and Thermal Conductivity of High Pressure Die-cast Al-6Si Alloys

Published: April 2020

In this study, the effects of nickel and copper on the mechanical and thermal properties of Al-Si alloys were investigated, for different alloy compositions. Thermodynamic calculations were carried out to predict the alloys’ solidification behavior (solidification temperature, solid fraction and physical properties (density, thermal conductivity, elastic modulus, bulk modulus)). The aluminum alloys were produced by high pressure die-casting process with a 125 ton die-casting machine. Microstructures in the Al-Si-Ni alloys were characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile tests. Thermal conductivity was measured using a laser flash method. The addition of Ni and Cu improved the mechanical properties of the alloys by different strengthening mechanisms. Solution strengthening was the more effective method of improving mechanical properties, compared with strengthening by intermetallic compounds. The addition of an appropriate concentration of soluble alloying elements consistently improved alloy strength. However, addition of alloying elements decreased the thermal conductivity of the primary alpha aluminum phase. EDS analysis confirmed that soluble alloying elements like Cu not only can form intermetallic compounds, but can also change other kinds of compounds. Accordingly, careful consideration should be given to the chemical composition of soluble/insoluble alloying elements when attempting to improve mechanical properties and thermal conductivity at the same time.
Effect of Sintering Temperature on the Characteristics of Zn0.99Li0.01O Thin Film on Si Substrate

Published: April 2020

Lithium-doped zinc oxide (Zn0.99Li0.01O) film was manufactured by the sol-gel method using uniform and stable solution of zinc acetate dehydrate and lithium acetate dehydrate in methanol. Films were deposited by spin-coating using spinner between 4500 and 5000 rpm on silicon substrates. The prepared samples were sintered at various temperatures (600 oC ~ 1000 oC) in the air. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the prepared lithium-doped ZnO films were investigated. The XRD pattern of Zn0.99Li0.01O film demonstrated the hexagonal wurzite structure. However, new crystal phase was discovered at a sintering temperature of 800 oC. New peak was found near 2θ = 22.6o in XRD patterns. The peak is thought to be the (101) plan in SiO2 cristobalite structure. Moreover, another new crystal phase related to Li2SiO5 was occurred at a sintering temperature of 900 oC. From XRD analysis, it was confirmed that C axis was decreased and the stress was increased, as sintering temperatures was increased from 600 oC to 900 oC. In cathodo luminescence (CL) data, zinc oxide usually appears ultra violet and green emission. However, the green emission did not appear in all these samples used in this study. The ultra violet emission showed red shift from 600 oC to 800 oC in the CL spectrum as the sintering temperature was increased. The phenomenon of the red shift can be explained in Burstein-Moss effect. At sintering temperature of 700 oC, the intensity of ultra-violet emission was the largest and full width at half maximum (FWHM) was the smallest.
Carlisle Museum's Natural History Record Bureau, 1902–1912: Britain's first local environmental records centre

Published: April 2020

Carlisle Museum's Natural History Record Bureau, Britain's first local environmental records centre, collected and collated records, mainly of birds but including also mammals and fishes, from amateur naturalists. It initially covered an area of 80 kilometres around Carlisle, and later from Cumberland, Westmorland and the detached portion of Lancashire north of Morecambe Bay: in effect the modern-day county of Cumbria. At the end of each year, those records which had been accepted were logged in a special “Record Book”, and a summary published. For the first eight years of its ten-year existence (1902–1912), these were printed in the local newspaper, The Carlisle Journal, but from 1908 they also appeared in The Zoologist. Alongside the Record Bureau, the Museum undertook a number of other activities, including a short-lived attempt to establish a bird-ringing project, an investigation into the impact of black-headed gulls ( Chroicocephalus ridibundus) on farming and fisheries interests (an early example of economic ornithology), the setting up of Kingmoor Nature Reserve and the protection of nesting peregrines ( Falco peregrinus), buzzards ( Buteo buteo) and ravens ( Corvus corax). The effectiveness of the Natural History Record Bureau and the reasons for its demise are briefly discussed.

Published: April 2020

Las ciencias sociales, y en particular la psicología ambiental, tienen elementos clave para la comprensión y modificación de comportamientos que ayuden a la protección medioambiental. Este estudio busca evaluar la relación entre las actitudes ambientales, las diferentes orientaciones de valores y el comportamiento proambiental, aportando evidencia a su vez, al modelo Jerárquico para los comportamientos ecológicos (Stern, 2000). Con instrumentos construidos y adaptados al contexto colombiano y con una muestra de estudiantes universitarios, se encontró mediante análisis lineales que las actitudes y los valores biosféricos resultan predictores de la conducta ambiental, y que estas variables se estructuran, aún de manera marginal, como lo señala el modelo jerárquico. Se discuten las diferentes relaciones observadas y los desafíos metodológicos y teóricos que se derivan de uno de los estudios pioneros en el área en contextos latinoamericanos.
