ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF GUARANTEING OF THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS, DISCLAIMED PUNISHMENT AS A DEPRIVATION OF FREEDOM OR EXEMPTED FROM IT
Authors: Adoyevskaya O. A.
Published: September 2018

The article deals with the problems of guaranteeing the rights of persons who served their sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty and who were released from it. The formation of normative base of the Russian state policy of resocialization of persons who served their sentence and were released from serving it has been studied. It is proved that one of the main reasons for the high level of recidivism is the absence of legislatively guaranteed social and rehabilitation assistance to persons who have served their sentence and were released from it. The goals to reduce the recidivism of crimes, stated in the Concept of LongTerm Social and Economic Development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2020, are not achieved. The conclusion is made about the expediency of taking into account international experience in the sphere of resocialization of convicts to imprisonment. The main attention is paid to the provisions of the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (1955) regarding the social care of prisoners after release. Examples of practices in the treatment of prisoners presented at the 12th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice are given. The absence of a qualitative settlement of relations in connection with the resocialization of persons who have served a criminal sentence and have been released from it in modern Russian criminal policy has been confirmed. The necessity of developing a road map for resocialization and real inclusion in civil society of persons who have served a criminal sentence and who have been released from it has been substantiated.
RELEASE OF THE CONDEMNED FROM PLACES OF DEPRIVATION OF FREEDOM: FACTORS OF INFLUENCE AND SOME ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL PROBLEMS
Authors: Useev R. Z.
Published: September 2018

The release of convicts from places of deprivation of liberty is a complex and systemic issue. Various factors influence the release of isolated individuals from punishment. They can be represented in the form of three groups: 1. Absence of a clear and coherent criminal-executive policy of the state; 2. Legal unsettledness of certain areas of activity of correctional institutions, the purpose of which is the preparation of convicts for release; 3. The problem of cadres in correctional institutions and the intensity of activity of officials. The process of releasing convicts from correctional institutions is accompanied by a number of organizational and managerial problems. Based on the analysis of the factors of influence and some organizational and legal problems of the process of releasing prisoners, the author submits for discussion a number of proposals aimed at the development of educational and socio-psychological directions in the activities of correctional institutions.
SYSTEM APPROACH TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THE POSTPENITENTIARY HELP TO THE PERSONS WHO HAVE SERVED SENTENCE IN THE FORM OF IMPRISONMENT
Authors: Khasnutdinov R. R.
Published: September 2018

Rendering postpenitentiary help to the persons who have served sentence in the form of imprisonment is the important direction in prevention of recurrent crime. The person after release from correctional facilities often faces a complex of problems of various character inducing to follow again a criminal way. Without the corresponding work on assistance of this category of persons it will be impossible to reduce the number of repeated crimes, and for obtaining qualitative result the organization of rendering such help has to have system character. In the article the author offers system approach to the organization of the postpenitentiary help by means of application of a method of functional system. Such work has to be based on the basis of the analysis of the events held in the certain territorial subjects of the Russian Federation directed to social adaptation of convicts, positive regional experience on decrease in recurrent crime. The author draws a conclusion about the need of improvement of legal regulation in this direction not only in the regions, but also at the federal level.

Published: September 2018

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an extremely useful tool for the detection and characterization of numerous pathologic processes. Although patients can benefit from the use of MRI, claustrophobia is a major issue in some cases. This fear alone can lead to cancellation of the scanning procedure in some cases and the need for conscious sedation in others. Patient anxiety during the scan can also lead to increased motion-related artifacts on the images with associated degradation of the diagnostic quality of the study. To alleviate these problems, our team developed a virtual reality (VR) tool (app) to educate patients about MRI and simulate the experience of actually being scanned. The app is totally immersive and incorporates both the visual and auditory sensations that patients encounter during an MRI scan. Patients also learn about potential conditions and implanted devices that may preclude the safe performance of the examination. This VR tool not only educates patients about MRI and its importance in their care, but also allows them to virtually experience what it is like to have a MRI scan. This technology has the potential to decrease both claustrophobic cancellations and patient anxiety before a MRI scan.

Published: September 2018

As edificações estão sujeitas a diversos fatores, tais como intempéries, uso e desgaste, envelhecimento natural, que podem levar à redução do desempenho e vida útil devido ao surgimento de patologias. Em obras públicas, como as universidades, há o agravante em virtude de serem utilizadas por um grande número de pessoas, com diversas finalidades, aumentando as chances de ocorrências de anomalias. A fim de identificar essas anomalias e orientar a necessidade e urgência de intervenções, existem métodos de avaliação do estado de conservação de edificações. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a classificação do estado de conservação das fachadas da Unioeste Campus Cascavel, a partir da amostra de três blocos: Biblioteca, Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde - CCBS e Laboratório de Estruturas e Materiais da Engenharia – LEME. Para isto, foi escolhida uma metodologia portuguesa, desenvolvida pelo Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC), em Lisboa, denominada Método de Avaliação do Estado de Conservação (MAEC), adaptada para estudos de fachadas. Os resultados indicaram que 67% das fachadas encontram-se em Bom estado de conservação, 17% delas classificaram-se como Excelente, 8% como Médio, 8% como Ruim e nenhuma delas enquadrou-se como Péssimo. Em relação aos blocos, a Biblioteca resultou em estado de conservação Médio, com índice de anomalias de 3,28, e o CCBS e o LEME classificaram-se como Bom estado de conservação, com índices de anomalias de 3,79 e 4,46, respectivamente. No presente estudo foi possível verificar a abrangência e facilidade no que diz respeito à aplicação do método utilizado para classificação de fachadas, podendo, este, ser utilizado em qualquer tipo de edificação, com vista a se ter uma ferramenta para auxiliar nos processos de manutenção e conservação de fachadas.

Published: September 2018

Com a finalidade de aumentar a produtividade, reduzir desperdícios e custos, a indústria da construção civil tem buscado novos métodos construtivos que substituam os sistemas tradicionalmente utilizados. Nesse contexto, o sistema com Moldes Isolantes para Concreto (Insulating Concrete Forms - ICF) surge como uma alternativa a ser explorada, consistindo em uma estrutura que incorpora fôrmas feitas de poliestireno expandido (EPS), que após sua montagem, são preenchidas com concreto armado. Sendo assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar técnica e financeiramente o sistema construtivo em ICF, em relação aos sistemas equivalentes convencionais de alvenaria de vedação com estrutura de concreto armado e alvenaria estrutural. Os critérios técnicos avaliados foram o de desempenho térmico pelo método simplificado segundo a NBR 15.575 e o de racionalização dos processos de produção (filosofia Lean Construction) enquanto no orçamentário determinou-se os custos para a produção dos sistemas. O sistema ICF apresentou os menores índices de transmitância térmica, proporcionando a melhor proteção do ambiente interno em relação às mudanças externas de temperatura. Além disso, exibiu maior eficácia da produção no canteiro de obra e no uso dos princípios da Lean Construction. Em termos de custos, a alvenaria estrutural se apresentou como o mais vantajoso, seguido pelo sistema ICF. Visando atender às necessidades do construtor brasileiro que busca aliar menores custos com maiores vantagens construtivas, concluiu-se que a alvenaria estrutural apresenta melhor relação custo-benefício, seguida do sistema ICF e da alvenaria convencional.

Published: September 2018

Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar os riscos ocupacionais presentes nas atividades que fazem maior uso da água, em uma Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN) hospitalar, propondo ações mitigadoras para os problemas encontrados. Utilizou-se de metodologia qualitativa e descritiva, com a realização de visitas in loco para observar a qualidade do ambiente e a execução das tarefas, além da pesquisa teórica para análise dos riscos, caracterização funcional de uma UAN hospitalar e gestão do uso racional da água. Detectaram-se problemas nas instalações, principalmente referentes ao piso e ao sistema de exaustão, sendo os agentes ambientais agravados e deixando o local em condições insatisfatórias, de acordo com as normativas vigentes. Na execução das tarefas, pode se notar que a maneira como a água é utilizada demonstra ir de acordo com as Boas Práticas, mas a forma com que a mesma é utilizada nesse ambiente de trabalho não está sendo favorável ao descarte responsável. Esta pesquisa demonstrou a necessidade de implementação de planos de gestão integrados que busquem diminuir os impactos ambientais, reduzir gastos financeiros e que possam ser revertidos em melhorias nas condições de saúde e qualidade de vida dos colaboradores das unidades de saúde.

Conversor Buck-Flyback para Carga e Equalização da Tensão em Bancos de Supercapacitores
Authors: Ryndack Matheus , Jr João A. Vilela , Demonti Rogers
Published: September 2018

A utilização de supercapacitores como elemento de acumulação de energia tem se tornado muito popular nos últimos anos. Todavia, na maioria das aplicações é necessária a associação de vários desses elementos em série, devido às baixas tensões nominais. Nessas condições de operação, as tensões em cada elemento do banco de supercapacitores podem apresentar desequilíbrio devido a variações paramétricas. Este artigo apresenta uma topologia de circuito de equalização da tensão dos supercapacitores integrado ao conversor Buck utilizado para carga do banco. O circuito proposto realiza a equalização da tensão do banco de forma não dissipativa e sem a necessidade de circuitos adicionais de controle. Um protótipo é implementado e os resultados experimentais obtidos mostraram que desequilíbrios de tensão de até 86% foram reduzidos para apenas 5,2% durante o processo de carga do banco, sem, no entanto, exceder o máximo valor nominal de tensão de cada supercapacitor.

Comer e beber: metáforas apocalípticas de juízo e restauração
Authors: Dorneles Vanderlei
Published: September 2018

Este artigo analisa as metáforas “comer” e “beber” no contexto bíblico, com ênfase no Apocalipse. Considera que metáforas, mais que simples elementos de linguagem, funcionam como instrumentos estruturantes do pensamento, permitindo compreender as coisas abstratas por meio daquelas mais familiares. O estudo parte da premissa de que os ritos de comensalidade no mundo bíblico marcam importantes eventos de sociabilidade, pactuação e pertencimento. A atitude de comer alimentos sacrificados aos ídolos retrata rompimento das relações com Deus, ao mesmo tempo que o cear com Jesus aponta para a reconstrução das relações quebradas pelo pecado. A visão dos remidos com pleno acesso aos frutos da árvore da vida, por sua vez, retrata a completa restauração das relações entre Deus e sua criação.
The Expansion of Higher Education and the Returns of Distance Education in China
Authors: Li Fengliang
Published: September 2018

The returns of traditional face-to-face education are widely analyzed, but there is a need for empirical studies on the returns of distance education. Further, comparative studies on returns of both traditional and distance education using high-quality data are rare. Since 1999, continuous and rapid expansions have occurred in the whole Higher Education system in China. Given this background, what are the changes in returns of both traditional face-to-face education and distance education? This study analyzes the returns of both of these formats from 2003 to 2006 using the data from the China General Social Survey Open Database (Chinese General Social Survey [CGSS], 2018), adding educational background as a dummy variable to the Mincerian income equation. The empirical results show that Distance Higher Education can significantly increase the income of learners, the returns of distance education are lower than those of traditional face-to-face education and that from 2003 to 2006, the returns of distance education decrease dramatically.
How do Virtual Teams Collaborate in Online Learning Tasks in a MOOC?
Authors: Verstegen Daniëlle , Dailey-Hebert Amber , Fonteijn Herco , Clarebout Geraldine , Spruijt Annemarie
Published: September 2018

Modern learning theories stress the importance of student-centered and self-directed learning. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) supports this by focusing on small group learning centered around authentic problems. PBL, however, usually relies heavily on face-to-face team collaboration and tutor guidance.  Yet, when applied in online/blended environments, such elements may not be feasible or even desirable. This study explores how virtual teams collaborate in online learning tasks in the context of a nine-week Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) where international, virtual teams worked on PBL-like tasks. Twenty-one self-formed teams were observed.  An inductive thematic analysis resulted in five themes: 1) team formation and team composition, 2) team process (organization and leadership), 3) approach to task work (task division and interaction), 4) use of tools, and 5) external factors (MOOC design and interaction with others). Overall findings revealed that online, virtual teams can collaborate on learning tasks without extensive guidance, but this requires additional communication and technological skills and support. Explicit discussion about group organization and task work, a positive atmosphere, and acceptance of unequal contributions seem to be positive factors. Additional support is required to prepare participants for virtual team work, develop digital literacy, and stimulate more elaborate brainstorming and discussion.
Le Bricolage Évolutif : Un Modèle Pertinent Des Changements Dans Les Sciences
Authors: Yapi Ignace
Published: September 2018

Cet article propose un modèle additionnel pour l’interprétation des changements qui, dans les sciences, ne résultent pas d’une rupture irréversible avec le passé, mais du recyclage opportuniste de vieilles théories, destiné soit à en enrichir les théories émergentes, soit à provoquer le retour contre-révolutionnaire des théories défaites. Il soutient que, quand la science crée ainsi du neuf à partir du vieux, elle procède suivant un modèle proche du « bricolage évolutif », par lequel François Jacob explique l’évolution par le jeu des réaménagements opportunistes qui surviennent dans la structure du noyau cellulaire.

CIÊNCIA E FÉ NA ALTA ESCOLÁSTICA: MEDIAÇÃO OU CONTRADIÇÃO?
Authors: Almeida Rogério Miranda de , Letenski Irineu
Published: September 2018

Resumo: O objetivo principal destas reflexões é o de se perguntar não somente pelo estatuto científico da teologia nos séculos XII e XIII, mas também pela pos­sibilidade mesma de uma intelecção dos dados da fé, ou da revelação. Se, com Pedro Abelardo, a teologia adquire no século XII o status de ciência e, enquanto ciência, ela se consolidará no século XIII com a fundação das universidades e a entrada completa de Aristóteles no Ocidente latino, a relação fé e ciência não se desenrolará de maneira tão harmoniosa como se poderia imaginar. Pelo contrário, ela se intensificará e se tornará ainda mais aguda à medida que se aprofundará e se explicitará, no século XIV, o abismo que separa estes dois domínios do saber. Com efeito, esta problemática, que remonta aos primeiros séculos da era cristã, se coloca agora sobre um novo nível epistêmico mais urgente e mais desafiador ainda: como falar racionalmente, ou cientificamente, de Deus?Abstract: These reflections aim not only at investigating the scientific statute of theology in the 12th and 13th centuries, but also the very possibility of the intellection of faith, or revelation. If, with Peter Abelard in the 12th century theology receives the status of science and, as a science, consolidates itself throughout the 13th century with the creation of universities and the complete reception of Aristotle in the Latin world, the relation between faith and science will not develop in a so harmonious way as one can imagine. On the contrary, it will intensify and become even more acute as, in the 13th century, the abyss separating these two domains of knowledge will become deeper and more explicit. In fact, this issue, which goes as far back as the first centuries of the Christian era, now appears in a more urgent and challenging epistemological way: how can one speak rationally, or scientifically, about God?

Published: September 2018

The generalized Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation is investigated using the modified Kudrayshov method for the exact analytical solution. The modified Kudrayshov method converts the nonlinear partial differential equation to algebraic equations, as a result of various steps, which on solving the so obtained equation systems yields the analytical solution. By this way various exact solutions including complex structures are found and drawn their behaviour in complex plane by Maple to compare the uniqueness of solutions.

Evolution of Plant B Chromosome Enriched Sequences
Authors: Marques André , Klemme Sonja , Houben Andreas
Published: September 2018

B chromosomes are supernumerary chromosomes which are found in addition to the normal standard chromosomes (A chromosomes). B chromosomes are well known to accumulate several types of repeats. Although the evolution of B chromosomes has been subject of numerous studies, the mechanisms of accumulation and evolution of repetitive sequences is not fully understood. Recently, new genomic approaches have shed light on the origin and accumulation of different classes of repetitive sequences in the process of B chromosome formation and evolution. Here we discuss the impact of repetitive sequences accumulation on the evolution of plant B chromosomes.

Background and Aim: Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM) are significant anti-inflammatory factors. The meta-analysis aimed to assess the serum and salivary levels of Igs as more important immunoglobulins in patients affected by oral lichen planus (OLP) compared to the healthy controls. Materials and Methods: Four databases, including PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library as well as Iranian databases were checked up to January 2018 without language restriction. The quality of each involved study was done using the NOS questionnaire. A random-effects model analysis was done by RevMan 5.3 software applying the mean difference (MD) plus 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The CMA 2.0 software was applied to calculate the publication bias among the studies. Results: Out of 70 studies found in the databases, eight studies were involved and analyzed in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis included 282 OLP patients and 221 healthy controls. The pooled MDs of serum levels of  IgA, IgG, and IgM were -0.13 g/L [95%CI: -0.24, -0.02; P = 0.02], 1.01 g/L [95%CI: -0.91, 2.93; P = 0.30], and -0.06 g/L [95%CI: -0.25, 0.14; P = 0.56], respectively; whereas, the salivary IgA and IgG levels were 71.54 mg/L [95%CI: 12.01, 131.07; P = 0.02] and 0.59 mg/L [95%CI: -0.20, 1.38; P = 0.14], respectively. Conclusions: Considering the few studies performed on saliva, the results suggested that the salivary levels, especially IgA level had a higher diagnostic value than the serum levels. Therefore, the salivary immunoglobulins can play a significant function in the OLP pathogenesis.
Understanding Landscape Influences on Aquatic Fauna across the Central and Southern Appalachians
Authors: Hanks Richard Daniel , Leonard Paul B. , Baldwin Robert F.
Published: September 2018

Understanding influences of multiple stressors across the landscape on aquatic biota is important for conservation, as it allows for an understanding of spatial patterns and informs stakeholders of significant conservation value.  Data exists for land use/landcover (LULC) and other physicochemical components of the landscape throughout the Appalachian region yet biological data is sparse.  This dearth of biological data relative to LULC and physicochemical data creates difficulties in making informed management and conservation decisions across large landscapes.  At the HUC12 watershed scale we sought to create a single score for both abiotic and biotic values throughout the central and southern Appalachian region.  We used boosted regression trees (BRT) to model biological responses (fish and aquatic macroinvertebrate variables) to abiotic variables.  Variance explained by BRT models ranged from 62-94%.  We categorized both predictor and response variables into themes and targets respectively to better understand large scale patterns on the landscape that influence biological condition of streams.  We combined predicted values for a suite of response variables from BRT models to create a single watershed score for aquatic macroinvertebrates and fish.  Regional models were developed for fish but we were unable to develop regional models for aquatic macroinvertebrates due to the low number of sample sites.  There was strong correlation between regional and global watershed scores for fish models but not between fish and aquatic macroinvertebrate models.  Use of such multimetric scores can inform managers, NGOs, and private land owners regarding land use practices; thereby contributing to largescale landscape scale conservation efforts.
Actinobaculum massiliense Proteome Profiled in Polymicrobial Urethral Catheter Biofilms
Authors: Yu Yanbao , Tsitrin Tamara , Singh Harinder , Doerfert Sebastian , Sizova Maria , Epstein Slava , Pieper Rembert
Published: September 2018

Actinobaculum massiliense, a Gram-positive anaerobic coccoid rod colonizing the human urinary tract, belongs to the taxonomic class of Actinobacteria. We identified A. massiliense as a cohabitant of urethral catheter biofilms (CB). The CBs also harbored common uropathogens such as Proteus mirabilis and Aerococcus urinae, supporting the notion that A. massiliense is adapted to a life style in polymicrobial biofilms. We isolated a strain from an agar colony derived from a clinical sample. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and shotgun proteomics, we identified and characterized A. massiliense, comparing the isolate grown in vitro and four clinical ‘in vivo’ samples. Based on abundances of proteins in the in vivo milieu, we assessed their functions related to nutrient import and responses to hostile host conditions characterized by neutrophil infiltration. Two putative subtilisin-like proteases and a heme/oligopeptide transporter were highly expressed in vivo and are perhaps important for survival in the host milieu. The uptake of xylose/glucuronate and oligopeptides apparently enables feeding metabolites into mixed acid fermentation and peptidolysis pathways, respectively, to generate energy. A putative polyketide synthase which may generate a secondary metabolite interacting with either the host or co-colonizing microbes was identified. The enzyme may contribute to A. massiliense persistence in CBs.   
Racial and Ethnic Group Spatial Assimilation in Inner and Outer Suburban Rings
Authors: Argeros Grigoris
Published: September 2018

The present study examines inner and outer suburban ring attainment outcomes among racial and ethnic groups residing in the nation’s metropolitan areas. The main objective is to evaluate the extent to which the relationship between racial and ethnic group’s socioeconomic status characteristics and residence between inner and outer suburban rings conforms to the tenets of the spatial assimilation model. Using micro-level data from the 5-year 2012-2016 American Community Survey, the author calculates multinomial logistic regression models to determine the effects of SES and other relevant predictors on residence within the nation’s metropolitan area’s suburban inner and outer rings. The results both confirm and contradict the main tenets of the spatial assimilation model. To the extent that income, education, and homeownership are positively related to residence in both suburban rings, the findings also suggest that access to inner and outer rings is hierarchically stratified by race and ethnicity.
The Dimensions of Pet-Owner Loyalty and the Relationship with Communication, Trust, Commitment and Perceived Value
Authors: Brown Bryan
Published: September 2018

Loyalty is one of the greatest intangible assets that any organization can possess and improving client loyalty is a primary marketing goal that can have a significant financial impact on any business. This quantitative study examined the mediating role of communication on the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty (attitudinal and behavioral) in veterinary clinics, along with the moderating roles of trust, commitment, perceived value, and relational characteristics. Responses collected from 351 pet-owners through social media were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that attitudinal loyalty (AL) has a strong positive relationship with communication at multiple points in a veterinary clinic whereas the relationship with behavioral loyalty was not as clear. Additional findings suggest that AL, which is influenced by trust in the veterinarian, communication from staff members and commitment, has a strong positive relationship with behavioral intentions, increases the number of products and services that a pet-owner consumes at his or her primary veterinary clinic, and attenuates the role of cost in receiving veterinary care. These findings can help veterinary clinic owners and managers in developing and implementing relationship strategies that improve pet-owner loyalty. The article that follows is a synopsis of the author’s dissertation.

Authors: Qari Shoukat H. , Leinhos Mary R. , Thomas Tracy N. , Carbone Eric G.
Published: September 2018

We provide an overview of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention–funded public health preparedness and response (PHPR) research and training initiative to improve public health practice. Our objectives were to accelerate the translation, dissemination, and implementation (TDI) of promising PHPR evidence-based tools and trainings developed by the Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Centers (PERRC) or the Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Centers (PERLC) between 2008 and 2015.

Nine competitive awards were made to seven academic centers to achieve predetermined TDI objectives. The outputs attained by the initiative included: user-friendly online repositories of PERRC and PERLC tools and trainings; training courses that addressed topics; a community resilience manual to synthesize, translate, and implement evidence-based programs; and Web applications that supported legal preparedness, exercise evaluation, and immunization education. The evaluation identified several best practices and potential barriers to implementation.

As illustrated by the work in this supplement, the broader awareness and implementation of PERRC preparedness products and PERLC trainings and the continued evaluation of their impact could enhance the PHPR capacity and capability of the nation, which could lead to improved health security.

Estimation of Tomato Bruising by Mechanical Impact Force Using Multivariate Analysis
Authors: Cui Jinshi , Yang Myongkyoon , Son Daesik , Park Seongmin , Cho Seong-In
Published: September 2018

Fresh fruit bruising caused by mechanical impact is the most problematic effect of mechanical postharvest processing of tomatoes. The conventional postharvest process of tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum L.) handling was surveyed from harvest to shipping preparation at a farm in Toechon in the Republic of Korea. Acceleration sensors located on the harvest boxes and fruit skin showed that the most severe impact forces (>10 g) occurred while fruit was moved in and out of the harvest box. Next, multivariate analysis was used to evaluate nondestructively the susceptibility of tomatoes to bruising by developing five estimation models incorporating quality factors and the presence of bruising resulting from peak contact forces. Linear regression models, artificial neural network (ANN) regression models, and a logistic regression model were built; the primary dependent variables were the rates of weight loss and firmness loss, and impact-induced bruising. The impact force was controlled by using a pendulum, which produced four levels of impact force on tomato fruit. Increasing the relative humidity (RH) and firmness, and decreasing the temperature and degree of weight loss decreased tomato fruit bruise damage. In addition, the proposed drop–impact measurement technique, with multivariate analysis, can be used to evaluate tomato quality nondestructively.

Published: September 2018

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a fruit crops belong to the family Anacardiaceae and is the oldest cultivated tree worldwide. Cultivars maintained in Egypt have not been investigated previously. Mango was first brought to Egypt from South Asia. Morphological and molecular techniques were used to identify the genetic diversity within 28 mango cultivars. SSR and EST-SSR were used for optimizing germplasm management of mango cultivars. Significant variations were observed in morphological characteristics and genetic polymorphism, as they ranged from 0.71% to 100%. High diversity was confirmed as a pattern of morphological and genotypes data. Data from the present study may be used to calculate the mango relationship and diversity currently grown in Egypt.
