Private Emotions on the Public Stage: The Case of Envy and the American Presidency
Authors: Riccards Michael P.
Published: July 2017

This paper examines the different expressions of envy as they are manifested in the historical literature on American Presidents. The concept of envy is reviewed  with an emphasis on its uncertain origins, its relationships to social learning theory, and psychoanalytical explanations of the emotion. Envy is especially prominent in consumer-oriented competitive societies with discrete youth cultures such as our own. American Presidents often exhibit envy as a result of childhood experiences, their resentment of advantaged people, highly charged professional competition, and their views of history and heroes. Envy is also an important element in expressing social reform and in the uncertain search for justice and equality.

Humanistic Guidelines for Public Administration Professionals
Authors: Blumberg Stephen K.
Published: July 2017

In 1937 Luther Gulick created POSDCORB. Forty years later he wrote, " ... we all assumed in the 1930s that ... public management flowed in a broad, strong stream of value-filled ethical performance. Were we blind or only naive ... ?" Stephen Blumberg has created the acronym EVPOSDCORB, which represents Ethics, Values, Patience, Openness, Sensitivity, Dignity, Cooperation, Responsiveness, and Beneficence. These humanistic guidelines bring to our focus of attention what was inadvertently left out of Gulick's prescription.

Albert Speer: In Retrospect
Authors: Twining David T.
Published: July 2017

Albert Speer is frequently viewed the most sympathetically of the twenty-two defendants at the 1945-46 Nuremberg trial, where he acknowledged responsibility  for Nazi war crimes and was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. Speer's efforts at public rehabilitation are contradicted by his clear distinction between  responsibility and guilt. By accepting responsibility, while denying guilt, Speer avoided the hangman's noose, thus rationalizing the salient crime of the century the Holocaust. Speer's example stands as a warning for the future that others may similarly reject moral and legal culpability for their involvement in destroying human beings.

Scholarship and Public Service: The Life and Work of Mary Parker Follett
Authors: Phillips John R
Published: July 2017

Any consideration of the founding of public administration would be incomplete without the inclusion of Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933), one of the great figures in the history of the discipline. This article is not an essay in biography, however. Given the great range of Follett’s professional accomplishments, the author undertakes “a daunting task” of succinctly relaying those aspects of Follett’s life that relate to her development as a scholar and social activist: her education and training as a political scientist; the evolution of her views on science and scientific method; her leadership of the community centres movement; her theory of community; her work as a consultant and lecturer on organization, administration, and management; her place in the history of the social sciences; and her vision for a democratic society.
Application of a three-step approach for prediction of combustion instabilities in industrial gas turbine burners
Authors: Iurashev Dmytro , Campa Giovanni , Anisimov Vyacheslav V. , Cosatto Ezio , Rofi Luca , Bertolotto Edoardo
Published: July 2017

Recently, because of environmental regulations, gas turbine manufacturers are restricted to produce machines that work in the lean combustion regime. Gas turbines operating in this regime are prone to combustion-driven acoustic oscillations referred as combustion instabilities. These oscillations could have such high amplitude that they can damage gas turbine hardware. In this study, the three-step approach for combustion instabilities prediction is applied to an industrial test rig. As the first step, the flame transfer function (FTF) of the burner is obtained performing unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. As the second step, the obtained FTF is approximated with an analytical time-lag-distributed model. The third step is the time-domain simulations using a network model. The obtained results are compared against the experimental data. The obtained results show a good agreement with the experimental ones and the developed approach is able to predict thermoacoustic instabilities in gas turbines combustion chambers.
KONSEPSI FITRAH MANUSIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM DAN IMPLIKASINYA DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM KONTEMPORER
Authors: Pransiska Toni
Published: July 2017

One important concept in Islamic education is the concept of Fitrah. The concept of Fitrah is not identical with the Empirism Theory (tabularasa theory). Therefore, the Empirism theory - propounded by John Locke - view that people is white, like the paper has not been crossed out. Environment and education is that gives color to the paper. In contrast, the view that human nature (Fitrah) is more than just a white paper and clean, but in nature there is the potential that is carried by humans. That potential is the power or strength to accept religion or Tauhid. Therefore, the environment and education has a strategic role in developing human nature.Finally, well-educated nature make him as a generation of people who love peace, inclusive and continuous improvement.

Socioeconomic impacts of innovative dairy supply chain practices – The case of the Laiterie du Berger in the Senegalese Sahel
Authors: Wane Abdrahmane , Cadilhon Jean-Joseph , Yauck Mamadou
Published: July 2017

This study analyzes the Laiterie Du Berger (LDB)’s milk supply chain and its contribution to strengthening the food security and socioeconomic resources of Senegalese Sahelian pastoral households. Porter’s value chain model is used to characterize the innovations introduced by the LDB dairy in its milk inbound logistics and supplier relationships. A socioeconomic food security index and qualitative data are used to assess the dairy’s supply chain’s contribution to strengthen smallholder households’ livelihoods. Data for this research were obtained through individual surveys, focus groups and in-depth interviews of LDB managers and milk suppliers. Results show that milk income contributes significantly to household food security. Suppliers who stabilize their dairy income between rainy and dry seasons, diversify income sources and have larger herds are more likely to remain food secure. The LDB innovations contribute by helping herders access biophysical and economic resources, leading to better livestock feed and household food security.
How do pricing and the representation of price affect consumer evaluation of nursery products? A conjoint analysis
Authors: Zhu Zhiwen , Behe Bridget , Huddleston Patricia , Sage Lynnell
Published: July 2017

This study investigates how pricing and the representation of price (location of price sign, area of price number on price sign, extrinsic cue on price sign) influence consumer evaluation of nursery products. An incomplete orthogonal set of levels for each factor was used in a 35 factorial conjoint analysis. A web-based survey was conducted in March 2015. The results show the four factors account for 50.24% of the variance in plant preference, the other factor (plant type) accounts for the remaining 49.76%. Relative importance decreases from price level (16.15%) to cue (12.27%) to area (11.04%) and location (10.79%). Consumer’s purchase intention varies by demographics. The price level-purchase intention relationship also depends on cue. Benefit cue is more likely to offset the adverse effect of a price increase on purchase intention than feature cue, and the price level-purchase intention relationship for plants with feature/benefit cue appears to be inverted U shape.

Published: July 2017

This study analyses the effect of different protein levels in broiler feeds
(supplemented with protease) and different lengths of fattening period on
some parameters related to dressed carcass quality. Medium-growing Master
Gris broiler chickens were used in a fattening trial lasting 63 days. At
slaughter, dressing percentages and abdominal fat percentages were determined
based on traditionally dressed carcass weights and abdominal fat weights of
broilers at 49 and 63 days, and conformation indices were calculated based on
absolute conformation measurements. Results showed that dietary treatment had
an effect only on one relative conformation measurement - body weight/shank
length in chickens at 49 days, as control broilers had higher values of this
index compared to chickens receiving feeds containing reduced levels of crude
protein and protease supplementation (0.2% or 0.3%). Length of fattening
period affected almost all studied parameters, except breast angle, dressing
percentage of traditionally dressed carcass and abdominal fat percentage.
Fungal contamination of maize grain samples with a special focus on toxigenic genera
Authors: Krnjaja Vesna , Stanojkovic Aleksandar , Stankovic Slavica , Lukic Milos , Bijelic Zorica , Mandic Violeta , Micic Nenad
Published: July 2017

In this study, the total fungal count and contamination with toxigenic fungi
from Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium genera of 127 maize grain samples
collected from animal farms in subrbs of Belgrade area during 2012-2015, were
determined. The total fungal count was determined using a dilution method,
and standard mycological procedures were used to identify potential toxigenic
fungi genera. In the tested samples of maize grains, the total fungal count
was from 1 x 101 to 3 x 106 cfu g-1. No statistically significant differences
between investigated years in regard to the mean total fungal count were
determined. According to the Regulation on the quality of animal feed of the
Republic of Serbia, the total fungal count above permitted limit (2 x 105 cfu
g-1) was established in 9.52, 7.89, 20.69 and 55.56% tested samples in 2012,
2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Potentially toxigenic fungi from
Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillim genera have been identified as the most
common in all the samples. In most of the samples, based on the average value
for the four-year period (2012-2015), Fusarium species (92.22%) have been
identified, followed by the species of the genera Aspergillus (80.83%) and
Penicillium (48.68%). A weak positive correlation was established between the
moisture content of the samples and the total fungal count in 2012 (r=0.41),
in 2013 (r=0.27) and in 2014 (r=0.36) and the medium positive correlation
(r=0.61) in 2015. Based on the results of mycological analysis of grain maize
it can be concluded that the test samples in a relatively large number did
not meet the criteria of hygienic quality. Therefore, regular and continuous
control of the mycological quality of maize grain as the most important
nutrient in animal nutrition is necessary as a preventive measure to reduce
and control contamination of grain with mycotoxigenic fungi.
Why does the undergraduate education in Ecuador fall short to train skills for rural health? A qualitative study
Authors: Sánchez del Hierro Galo
Published: July 2017

Background and Objectives

Since 1970, Ecuador establishes mandatory rural health service as a requirement for licensing work. Medical education is based in the hospital with little contact with rural areas. There is little information on the training and skills needs of recent graduated doctors. The research focuses on the perceptions of rural doctors on obstetric skills needed in rural areas. The aim of our study was to describe how the basic doctor in rural areas addresses training and teaching in obstetric skills needed in rural areas during undergraduate medical education.

Methods

A qualitative research project was performed using focus group discussions involving 23 rural doctors who work in rural and marginal urban areas in Southern Ecuador.  We identified themes that came from the data collected in the focus group and we selected those which are of interest for the readers in a detailed analysis. Rural doctors responded the following question: How do you feel with obstetric skills training at the University where you studied? 

Results

The majority of participants describe two predominant themes: the undergraduate theoretical teaching process of obstetrical skills and the practice experiences during the clinical attachment. Not all required skills are taught and internalize during undergraduate rotations including internship.

Discussion

There is no definition of the recent graduate profile that determines a standard for medical education. Rural doctors expressed lack of knowledge and practice for the obstetrical skills that they were required to perform. There is an urgent need to identify a baseline undergraduate curriculum that meets the country needs.
Polifarmacia y prescripción inapropiada afectan la calidad de vida del adulto mayor
Authors: Bonifaz Guerrero María Belén
Published: July 2017

Resumen:

Introducción: Los adultos mayores (AM) son una población heterogénea, en algunos casos con múltiples comorbilidades con las que debe convivir y en otras con un envejecimiento fisiológico normal. Con el cambio demográfico en América Latina, se evidenció un crecimiento paulatino en el índice de envejecimiento de la población, calculándose en el 2010 aproximadamente 59 millones de adultos mayores, para el 2050 se estiman casi 200 millones de personas mayores de 65 años; según la OMS establece que los casos de polifarmacia en el adulto mayor está entre el 5 al 78%, siendo proclives a tener una prescripción inapropiada lo que aumenta el riesgo de interacciones medicamentosas produciéndose  varios efectos adversos que van en deterioro de su calidad de vida.  

Objetivo:  Analizar la prescripción inapropiada de medicamentos con el uso de los criterios STOPP-START y los factores de riesgo asociados a la calidad de vida en los adultos mayores de 65 años o más con polifarmacia de los Centro de Salud las Casas y Conocoto de septiembre a noviembre en el año 2016.

Metodología: Se realizó un estudio de corte de asociación entre la prescripción inapropiada (criterios STOPP-START) en los pacientes con polifarmacia y la calidad de vida (cuestionario de Salud SF-12), siendo comparados entre dos Centros de Salud.

Resultados: se encontró que ha mayor número de prescriptores, aumenta el riesgo de mala calidad de vida en los AM con polifarmacia. En el C.S. Las Casas el RR = 1.66, chi 2 = 6,59 con p < 0,05 y C.S. Conocoto el

RR =1.7, chi 2 = 5,56 con p < 0,05. 

Conclusiones: La prescripción inapropiada tiene una evidente asociación con la pluripatología y comorbilidades que presentan los AM, además que a mayor número de prescriptores mayor riesgo de mala calidad de vida. En el establecimiento de Salud que presta atención a los adultos mayores con especialidad de Medicina Familiar y que cuentan con el posgrado de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria, se evidenció pacientes con polifarmacia con menor riesgo de prescripción inapropiada y por ende menos probabilidad de efectos adversos y mala calidad de vida.
A new, ultra-low-cost power quality measurement technology
Authors: Alex McEachern  , Andreas Eberhard
Published: July 2017

IEC 61000-4-30 is an excellent standard that ensures that all compliant power quality instruments, regardless of manufacturer, will produce the same results when connected to the same signal. However, instruments that comply with the Class A requirements of this standard have, until now, been too expensive for common use. Now a new set of technologies developed by an American company, in cooperation with a Japanese company, demonstrate that it is possible to manufacture three-phase power quality instruments that are fully compliant with the Class A requirements of IEC 61000-4-30 at ultra-low-cost (selling price less than 500 Euros in quantity). The development uses technologies from several fields that have not previously been related to power quality, including digital cameras, power-over-ethernet, mobile phones, and submarine sonar systems. These new technologies have been packaged in a demonstration instrument, and may be licensed to instrument manufacturers as well.

Authors: N. Moaddabi  , M. Mahmoodi  , G. B. Gharehpetian
Published: July 2017

DC/DC boost converters are usually used to interface the DC output of modern distributed generation resources with the AC system. Distributed generation modules are aggregated to yield the necessary power using either parallel or cascaded architecture. Detailed modeling of an interconnection system incorporating cascaded architecture has not been considered in previous researches. In this paper, suitable control systems for cascaded architecture of power electronic converters in an interconnection system have been studied and modeled in detail. Simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control systems.
Modelling and simulation of the biomass fired dual fluidized bed gasifier at Guessing/Austria
Authors: Priyanka Kaushal  , Tobias Pröll  , Hermann Hofbauer
Published: July 2017

A one-dimensional steady state model of the gasification reactor of a dual fluidized bed biomass steam gasification system has been developed. The gasification reactor is operated in bubbling regime. The model distinguishes two zones: dense zone and freeboard zone. The dense zone is the bubbling bed and is modelled with modified two phase theory while freeboard is modelled as a plug flow reactor. The main fuel is biomass (wood) and is introduced into the dense zone. Biomass is modelled as a homogeneous matrix of C, H, and O. The solids within the dense zone are considered to be well mixed while the gases are in plug flow regime. Energy balance is solved globally in each zone. Results show that the wood is only partly converted in the gasifier. The gas composition profile and temperature profile predicted by the model is in good agreement with the values measured at 8 MW (fuel power) plant in Guessing/Austria.

An  aeromechanical  evaluation  of  large  (over  1 Mw   of   nominal   power)   Horizontal   Axis   Wind   Turbines (HAWT’s)  is  performed  is  this  paper.  The  strategy  is  based  on the combination of an aerodynamic module, which provides the three-dimensional  pressure  distribution  on  the  HAWT’s  blades, an a structural module which takes such pressure forces as input data in order to compute both, blade deformation and strain and stress distributions over the blade.
The  aerodynamic  module  combines  the  three-dimensional  non-linear   lifting   surface   theory   approach,   which   provides   the effective  incident  velocity  and  angle  of  attack  at  each  blade section,   and   a   two-dimensional   panel   method   for   steady axisymmetric   flow   in   order   to   obtain   the   3D   pressure distribution  on  the  blade.  Such  pressure  distribution  constitutes the input data for the structural module, which is a finite element package  whose  output  is  the  blade  deformation  and  strain  and stress  distribution  along  the  blade,  as  well  as  material  induced fatigue.
This methodology is applied to study a 50  m long blade able to provide a nominal power of 3 Mw.

Authors: S. Pérez  , C.J. Renedo  , A. Ortiz  , M. Mañana  , D. Silió  , C.Tejedor
Published: July 2017

The objective of this work has been to evaluate the power potential of fast growth forest species, which could be operated in Cantabria (North Coast of Spain). This region has a forest surface of 145,000 hectares with no plantation.
The use of forest species as energy crops implies high density of plantation, and very short rotations (2-3 years). Therefore, it is the tree youthful stage the one that will be the focus of attention on this work. The Eucalyptus is the fast growth species that has demonstrated the greatest biomass production, by hectare, in the region. Two varieties of Eucalyptus have been planted for years in our region in order to supply the paper industry. These species are Eucalyptus Globulus and Eucalyptus Nitens.
The great experience accumulated in the use of these forest species and their great productivity, make of them good candidates to join the set of suitable trees for being used as energy crops. In this work a power characterization of the young stages of the species Eucalyptus Globulus and Eucalyptus Nitens has been carried out.
The power characterization has been carried out in an adiabatic high accuracy calorimeter, IKA C 5000. The work was made in the four seasons of the year, which has allowed studying the influence of the seasonality in the calorific power of the species. In addition, the influence that the implantation of these species would have on the CO2 emissions and in the greenhouse effect has been evaluated

Authors: J.C. Sáenz-Díez Muro  , J.M. Blanco Barrero  , E. Jiménez Macías  , M. Pérez de la Parte  , J.I. Latorre Biel
Published: July 2017

Based on a previous work, this paper presents a system for the use of photovoltaic solar energy for the facades (vertical claddings) of the buildings, applied to a specific modern building. The system presents regulation to one axis, which will vary the ß-angle (the or inclination of the solar cells) in order to be placed in the most perpendicular possible way to the solar radiation.
This particular application is based on optimization algorithms developed for the supervision, control, and management of photovoltaic solar electric power in singular buildings dedicated mainly to apartments. The basic principles of performance of these algorithms are kept within two big guidelines: renewable energy generation (to produce so much electric solar energy as possible), and demand side management (to reduce the demand peaks of the buildings).
The presented system is integrated in the buildings in order to present a particular aesthetic appearance. Then the algorithms and procedures of the system are designed in combination with the information of the different commercial solar panels in the market.
Implementation of a double AC/DC/AC converter with power factor correction (pfc) for non-linear load applications
Authors: E.Alvear  , M.Sanchez  , J.Posada
Published: July 2017

The double conversion circuits are widely used as motors drivers, UPS’s, Active filters, etc. As its name indicates, there are two types of conversions in this system, the AC/DC and the DC/AC conversion. In this paper the results obtained of the implementation of a double conversion system AC/DC/AC are presented. For the AC/DC conversion a topology with power factor correction (PFC) is used, which is controlled by the new technique OCC (One Cycle Control). The previously mention technique showed similar results in comparison with the traditional control technique “The Multiplier based approach”, but with the advantages of less complexity and reduction in component count.
In the DC/AC conversion an inverter circuit with the modulation technique SPWM was implemented, in which we obtained a regulated output AC voltage and a low harmonic content.

Dynamic performance comparison of conventional and capacitor commutated converter (CCC) for HVDC transmission system in simulink environment
Authors: Khatir M  , Zidi S A  , Fellah M K  , Hadjeri S
Published: July 2017

Most of HVDC systems consist of line commutated converters. The demand of reactive power is supplied by filter or capacitor banks which are connected on the primary side of the converter transformer. This conventional design is well known and proven during last decades. However, such conventional converters suffer commutation failures when they operate as inverter at a weak AC system. A series capacitor between converter transformer and thyristor valves (CCC: Capacitor Commutated Converter) can improve the immunity of inverter against commutation failure. Two concepts for the transmission with a high power capacity using HVDC technology are compared in this paper. These include the conventional and the CCC-inverters, connected to weak AC systems. The simulation results are presented using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

The  variable  speed  generating  units  have  not enough  power  reserve  for  rapid  load  step-up,  when  they  are operated at low speed with partial load. The short time power peaks delivery during the acceleration period must be provided from  separate  energy  store,  which  can  be  among  others  the ultra-capacitors   battery.   Standard   solution   connects   the capacitors  via  DC/DC  bidirectional  converter.  The  ultra-capacitors voltage varies in the range 50% what represent 75% exploitation of maximal stored energy. New concept is based on direct  connection of  ultra-capacitors  into  the inter-circuit  with controlled voltage drift only 30% and 50% energy exploitation. That means the resulting capacitance must be 50% higher, but one  converter  is  saved,  efficiency  grows  up  and  the  control becomes simpler.

This  paper  presents  a  solution  for  the  problem  related  to  Partial  Discharges  (PD)  source  localization  in  oil-isolated  transformers,  using  Genetic  Algorithms.  As  known  in  literature,  the  simple  PD  detection  is  not  enough  to  take  a  decision  about  intervening,  so  the  localization  is  necessary  to  assess  the  risk  and  to  plan  corrective  actions.  The  parameters  extracted  from  the  acoustic  signals  collected  by  piezoelectric  sensors installed outside of the transformer, provide the correct position  of  PD.  From  parameters  extracted  of  acoustic  signals  collected   from   piezoelectric   sensors   installed   outside   the   transformer,   the   proposed   algorithm   provides   the   position   where    the    PD    is    occurring.    This    work    compares    the    performance of the method using Genetic Algorithms and those using  iterative  method,  which  is  normally  used  to  solve  this  problem.  The  conclusion  describes    the  advantages  of  the  proposed solution.

Abstrak
Kontrak jasa konstruksi disusun oleh penyedia jasa konstruksi dan pengguna jasa konstruksi (sektor swasta atau pemerintah). Seringkali persiapan kontrak kerja konstruksi dilakukan secara tidak seimbang karena kontrak disiapkan oleh salah satu pihak, yaitu penyedia jasa konstruksi. Oleh karena itu, kontrak kerja konstruksi yang dikaitkan dengan teori keadilan oleh John Rawls menjadi issue yang menarik. Dalam artikel ini, penulis akan menelaah keseimbangan yang seharusnya ada dalam kontrak kerja kontruksi yang seharusnya diwujudkan oleh kedua pihak dalam menyusun kontrak kerja kontruksi.Selanjutnya juga akan dianalisis mengenai penyelesaian sengketa dari sudut pandang hukum perdata. Penyelesaian berdasar hukum perdata merupakan sesuatu yang masuk akal mengingat pada dasarnya, issue yang diselesaikan adalah wanprestasi.

 

Abstract
Construction service contracts are concluded by and between the service provider (providers of construction services) and the service user (private or government). Frequently, the preparation of construction contracts are unequal because the contract has already been prepared by one party (service user). Therefore, it is an interesting issue to associate unequal construction contracts with the theory of justice promoted by John Rawls. In this article, the author will examine the balance that should exist in the construction contract that should be realized by both parties in the contract. Later on, the resolution of the dispute emerging from construction contract will also be analyzed from the civil law perspective. Dispute settlement based on civil law is basically appropriate considering that at the last resort, the relevant issue is breach of contract.

Abstrak
Hak Kekayaan Intelektual memberikan kewenangan hukum kepada seseorang untuk
mendapat keuntungan dari karya intelektual yang diciptakan. Hal ini berimplikasi pihak
lain, yang tanpa persetujuan, tidak diperbolehkan untuk mengambil keuntungan dari
sebuah karya intelektual. Pengambilan keuntungan berarti mengambil sesuatu, di mana
sesuatu tersebut berada dalam hukum sipil yang dikenal dengan properti. Artikel ini
menyelidiki kembali perlindungan dasar hak kekayaan intelektual untuk memberikan
justifikasi bahwa hak kekayaan intelektual adalah properti yang memiliki sifat dasar
properti dan faktanya obyek properti memiliki hak milik.

Abstract
Intellectual Property Rights provides legal authority for a person to reap the rewards of
the intellectual work produced. This has a consequence that the other party without consent
must not take advantage of an intellectual work. Reap the rewards of means to take
something, which in civil law is known as the property. This article retraces the basic
protection of intellectual property rights to provide justification that intellectual property
rights are a property that has the nature of properties and in fact, is the object of property
that has proprietary rights.
Self Image Making of the Diasporic Artists: "The Sousveillance Strategies in the Diasporic Art of Middle Eastern Diaspora"
Authors: Arda Balca
Published: July 2017

I explore in this paper how Middle Eastern diaspora’s art that I call “selfie art” resists against surveillance techniques and technologies in everyday life beyond territorial borders such as public stigma and stereotyping in the host countries in North America. My analysis is composed of three stages: (1) The study of self-surveillance as a method of sousveillance and how self-exposure becomes an object of art; (2) the relation between self-design and politico-ethical allegiance in the visual abundant society through the case of the imagery of Middle Eastern diaspora; (3) ethnographic observations in diasporic art events as well as in-depth interviews with artists and content analysis of various online and offline artworks. I argue that the sousveillance strategies of diasporic art coincide with the resisting communities that negotiate with technologies of surveillance to lead a state of equiveillance in the visual public sphere.

Authors: Madadi Meysam , Zamani Zabihollah , Fatahi Reza
Published: July 2017

Pomegranate is one of the most important horticultural crops in Iran, and has been cultivated for thousands of years in this country. At this period due to selection of superior cultivars from nature or mutation emerged in these cultivars, and their vegetative propagation, substantial genetic variation has occurred within and among the cultivars. Thus, each cultivar may consist of different clones. According to this issue, diversity within four commercial cultivars of pomegranate was analyzed. Two molecular marker systems including ISSR and SSR were used to evaluate variability between 36 samples of four commercial cultivars. ISSR markers produced 114 amplification products, out of which 97 were polymorphic (83.23%). Mean resolving power was 2.96 for ISSR markers. 19 SSR molecular markers were used, 15 of which amplified polymorphic products, while the remaining ones monomorphic., The number of polymorphic alleles per locus ranged from two to four (average 3.6). The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.04 to 0.92 and 0.14 to 0.62, respectively. In addition, mean polymorphic information content was 0.45 for SSR loci. Our results showed that commercial Iranian pomegranate have different clones. Therefore, ISSR and SSR markers can be a useful tools for detecting clones of each cultivar.

Bu araştırmada Isparta ilinde okul sütü programına katılan ilkokul öğrenci velilerinin bu programa yönelik yaklaşımlarının tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Çalışmada, araştırma bölgesinde okul sütü programına dahil olan 359 öğrenci velisinden anket yöntemi ile elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bölgesinde ele alınan tüketiciler hane gelirlerine göre dört gruba ayrılarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre ailelerin daha çok pastörize sütü tükettiği belirlenmiştir. Görüşme yapılan bireylerin yaş ortalamaları 37.14 yıldır. Ailelerin %36.21‘i lise mezunudur. Ailelerin %53.48‘i, 50 TL‘den az süt harcaması yapmaktadır. Hane genişliği 4.05 kişidir. %21.84‘ü sütü sıcak olarak tüketmektedir. Velilerin okul sütü programına bakışı genel itibariyle olumludur (%82.17‘si). Okul sütü programı süt tüketme alışkanlığı kazandırdığını, olumsuz düşünen velilerin %33.33‘ü dağıtılan içme sütünün içeriğine güvenmedikleri için olumsuz baktıkları tespit edilmiştir. Velilerin %49.30‘u okul sütü programının çocuklarında süt tüketim alışkanlığını artırdığını düşünmektedir. Velilerin %67.97‘si dağıtılan içme sütünün arz fazlası olmadığını düşünmektedir. Bu düşüncelerinde ise Devlete ve Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı‘na olan güvenlerinden kaynaklandığı tespit edilmiştir. Arz fazlası olduğunu düşünen veliler (%30.95) ise firmalara yardım düşüncesinde oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Okul sütü uygulamasının amacına dair velilerin %48.75‘i sütü sevdirmek ve alışkanlık kazandırmak olduğu yargısına sahiptir. Velilerin (%62.40) günlük süt tercihi söz konusudur. %44‘ü de içme sütlerinin analiz edildiğine inanmaktadır. Milli Eğitim ve Sağlık Bakanlığının, ailelere sütün önemi ve okul sütü programın yararları konusunda bilgilendirme çalışmaları yapması önerilmektedir.

In the facing of the ASEAN Economic Community 2015, the Legal Protection of batik brand in Pekalongan plays a very important and requires a more adequate regulatory system. Free trade globalization can only be maintained by maintaining a healthy climate for business competition. The demand for legal protection of batik brand is growing rapidly as the number of people who plagiarized brand of batik. One brand that needs to be protected is the batik brand of Pekalongan as the largest industrial centers of batik in Indonesia. The methods of This research uses empirical juridical approach to the specification of descriptive analytical study which the author tries to explain the preparation of  batik pekalongan society Towards the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. So far if there is a dispute in the brand of batik fairly resolved peacefully and families, but in the case of infringement of trademark of batik, then the holder of legitimate trademark rights can be conduct civil or criminal action lawsuit to court, or can be resolve by arbitration as an alternative, such as regulated in Act No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.
