Authors: Samsonov T.E. , Trigub K.S.
Published: July 2018

Local climatic zones are areas with a uniform land cover, structure, materials and a specific character of human activity, which have a special type of interaction with the surface layer of the atmosphere. Allocating climatic zones in cities provides possibility to reduce various combinations of built-up and land cover to a limited number of classes that can be used to unify the places of observing urban heat island, and to facilitate detailed climatic and meteorological modeling. The article presents the experience of mapping the local climatic zones of Moscow based on the Landsat 8 space imagery within the framework of the WUDAPT (World Urban Database Project) project. Evaluation of quality of space imagery interpretation was carried out by the method of cross-validation of the training samples. The analysis of the derived zones distribution is presented, estimation of their content is made on the basis of OpenStreetMap data, the availability of meteorological stations in different zone types is calculated, and prospects of further research are outlined.

Public-private partnerships (PPP) are likely to emerge as a new model for improved infrastructure development in developing countries. Scrutinizing the possibility of adopting the PPP model in addressing infrastructure challenges is the main objective of this paper. The study identifies the critical success factors for PPP project implementation based on the case of an emerging country. Qualitative research was used in this study. The target population in this study is a group of experts who are currently involved in infrastructure planning, development and policy making. The research concludes that lack of political will and government’s failure to develop policies to support PPPs are a major problem for this issue in developing countries. The research indicates the relevance and immediate necessity for governments of developing countries to develop a transparent and consistent policy and legal structure on PPPs to attract and promote private sector involvement in infrastructure projects.
Study on the mineralogical crystallization of granulation of gas-quenched blast furnace slag
Authors: Yue Kang , Chao Liu , Yuzhu Zhang , Hongwei Xing , Yue Long , Maofa Jiang
Published: July 2018

The process of granulation in blast furnace slag (BFS) by gas quenching can effectively recover the waste heat of BFS and improve the value-added nature of the BFS byproduct. With decreasing temperature, BFS crystallizes into melilite, anorthite, spinel, etc. Mineral crystallization, however, is not conducive to the production of amorphous BFS beads. This study uses thermodynamic simulation and remelting experiments to study the influences of basicity, acidity, and the MgO and Al2O3 content of the BFS on the crystallization. By controlling the composition of the BFS, mineral crystallization in the process of granulation in BFS, by gas quenching, could be prevented. The results show that increasing the basicity of the BFS causes the mineral crystallization temperature to increase rapidly. The mineral phase then crystallizes at a higher temperature, which is not conducive to the formation of an amorphous phase. Increasing the acidity of the BFS can greatly decrease the crystallization temperature, e.g., when the acidity increases to 1.3, amorphous BFS beads can be obtained at the gas quenching temperature (1623 K). Although increasing the MgO and Al2O3 contents in the BFS had little effect on the crystallization temperature and yield, the preparation of amorphous BFS beads by gas quenching could be realized by adjusting the acidity of the BFS.

Many countries have their Watergate moment, a scandal that envelopes not only mystery, intrigue, and human tragedy, but also something bigger, some kind of challenge to a country’s deepest beliefs about itself. What the US journalism scholar Michael Schudson called a country’s central moral values. For New Zealand, a good case could be made that our Watergate moment was the Thomas case. Like Watergate, it revealed ugly truths about corruption within some of our most respected institutions, and investigative journalism played a central role. Like Watergate, it was also a collective loss of innocence, and opened a very deep wound.

Authors: Medeiros Andrezza Lima de
Published: July 2018

O presente artigo intenciona abordar o conceito de Inoperosidade, do filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben, bem como o conceito de Vita activa da pensadora alemã Hannah Arendt, de modo a refletir sobre os rumos da sociedade coercitiva e do desempenho na contemporaneidade. Tais práticas afetam diretamente sentimentos que deveriam ser cultivados pelo homem desde a antiguidade, como felicidade e alegria. A busca pela leveza, no contexto de uma sociedade pautada na primazia do agir, pressupõe um alívio do peso dos medos e ambições.AbstractThis article intends to address the concept of Inoperosity by the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben as well as the concept of Vita activa by the German thinker Hannah Arendt in order to reflect on the paths of coercive and performance society at contemporaneity. Such practices directly affect feelings that should be cultivated by man since the antiquity, such as happiness and joy. The search for lightness, in the context of a society based on the primacy of action, presupposes a relief from the weight of fears and ambitions.

Two sets of reactants for modelling neurogenesis (SRMN) were developed based on the designed and tested genetic structures of lentiviral vectors. SRMN-1 contains the genetic construct LVV-GFAP-GCaMP3 and is intended for cellspecific transduction in astroglia cells. SRMN-2 contains the genetic construct LVV-PRSx8-TN-XXL and is intended for the phenotype-specific transduction in neurons. The present study examined SRMN-1 and SRMN-2 samples and assessed their efficiency in vitro and in vivo in Norvegicus rats. Specificity to particular cell types for all SRMN samples exceeded 97%. The number of induced signalling cascades was determined via activation of intracellular ingsignalling cascades in neurons and astrocytes (purinergic receptors and β-adrenoceptors). The results demonstrated dynamic recording of fluorescent signals and a two-fold increase in intensity after addition of the activator in all samples. The experimental SRMN samples revealed successful and stable transfection of catecholaminergic neurons and astrocytes, data on transfection efficiency, specificity of the developed genetic structures of SRMN, and calcium dynamics in transfected neurons and astrocytes.

These results confirm the crucial role of astrocytes in ensuring neurogenesis. The results in pure cell culture (in vitro) were identical to the in vivo results in animals.

The Impact of the Perception of Leisure on Recreational and Tourism Spaces in an Urban Area
Authors: Meyer Beata , Niezgoda Agnieszka
Published: July 2018

The purpose of the present paper is to attempt to identify relations between the changing perception of leisure and the creation of tourism and recreational spaces in urban areas. The authors focus in particular on changes associated with the so-called ‘third wave’ (Toffler2001), time compression (Niezgoda2017), and departure from synchronization. These considerations are illustrated by an analysis of the recreational activity of Szczecin residents and of tourists, and attempt identifying the relations between recreational space and tourism space. With the constant compression of leisure time, tourism activities become more similar to the leisure activities of residents, which means both types occur in the same environment. Urban recreational and tourism spaces overlap in a way that makes it impossible to separate them, but still allows the distinction of certain sub-spaces where either tourism or recreational behavior prevails.

Comparison of Greenhouse Fuel Consumption Calculated Using Different Methods with Actual Fuel Consumption
Authors: Baytorun Abdullah Nafi , Zaimoğlu Zeynep , Akyüz Adil , Üstün Sait , Çaylı Ali
Published: July 2018

Heat requirements in greenhouses are calculated considering greenhouse type, the climate of the region and temperatures desirable for plant growth. Calculations made according to daily average temperature values lead to misleading results during periods when temperatures are high and under conditions when greenhouse temperature is kept low. For this reason, determining heat requirements according to hourly values provides more accurate results. Calculations of heat requirements in greenhouses are based on the difference between the desired temperature in the greenhouse and the outside temperature. However, in unheated greenhouses and those that are not ventilated until a specific temperature, actual temperature values are higher than outside temperatures. For this reason, heat requirement calculations should be made according to hourly climate values taking into account actual temperature in the greenhouse and temperature rise resulting from greenhouse specifications. This study aims to compare the amounts of fuel consumed under real conditions with fuel consumption calculated with conventional methods using inside and outside temperature difference and considering the above mentioned inconveniences. Daily fuel consumption calculated theoretically differs from actual consumption values. However, in comparisons based on fuel amounts consumed on an annual basis, best results were obtained when temperature rise in the greenhouse was taken into consideration. In the event that temperature rise is taken into consideration, a 3% difference is observed between calculated fuel consumption and actual fuel consumption.

Experimental Analysis of Heat Transfer Enhancement and Flow with Cu, TiO2 Ethylene Glycol Distilled Water Nanofluid in Spiral Coil Heat
Authors: Sultan Khalid Faisal
Published: July 2018

This experimental investigation was performed to improve heat transfer in the heat exchanger (tube of shell and helically coiled (using nanoparticles for turbulent parallel flow and counter flow of distilled water (Dw) and ethylene glycol (EG) fluids. Six types of nanofluids have been used namely: copper – distilled water, copper – distilled water and ethylene glycol, copper – ethylene glycol, titanium oxide – distilled water, titanium oxide – distilled water and ethylene glycol, titanium oxide – ethylene glycol with 0.5%,1%,2%,3% and 5% volume concentration as well as the range of Reynolds number are 4000 – 15000. The experimental results reveal that an increase in coefficient of heat transfer of 50.2 % to Cu – Dw, 41.5% to Cu – ( EG + Dw ), 32.12 % for Cu – EG , 36.5% for TiO2 – Dw, 30.2 % to TiO2 – ( EG + Dw) and 25.5%, to TiO2 – EG . The strong nanoconvection currents and good mixing caused by the presence of Cu and TiO2 nanoparticles. The metal nanofluids give more improvement than oxide nanofluids. The shear stress of nanofluids increases with concentration of nanoparticles in the case of parallel and counter flow. The effect of flow direction is insignificant on coefficient of overall heat transfer and the nanofluids behave as the Newtonian fluid for 0.5%,1%,2%,3% and 5%. Good assent between the practical data and analytical prediction to nanofluids friction factor which means the nanofluid endure pump power with no penalty. This study reveals that the thermal performance from nanofluid Cu – Dw is higher than Cu – (EG + Dw) and Cu – EG due to higher thermal conductivity for the copper and distilled water compared with ethylene glycol.

Transformation-induced stress at telomeres is counteracted through changes in the telomeric proteome including SAMHD1
Authors: Majerska Jana , Feretzaki Marianna , Glousker Galina , Lingner Joachim
Published: July 2018

Telomeres play crucial roles during tumorigenesis, inducing cellular senescence upon telomere shortening and extensive chromosome instability during telomere crisis. However, it has not been investigated if and how cellular transformation and oncogenic stress alter telomeric chromatin composition and function. Here, we transform human fibroblasts by consecutive transduction with vectors expressing hTERT, the SV40 early region, and activated H-RasV12. Pairwise comparisons of the telomeric proteome during different stages of transformation reveal up-regulation of proteins involved in chromatin remodeling, DNA repair, and replication at chromosome ends. Depletion of several of these proteins induces telomere fragility, indicating their roles in replication of telomeric DNA. Depletion of SAMHD1, which has reported roles in DNA resection and homology-directed repair, leads to telomere breakage events in cells deprived of the shelterin component TRF1. Thus, our analysis identifies factors, which accumulate at telomeres during cellular transformation to promote telomere replication and repair, resisting oncogene-borne telomere replication stress.

Authors: Imas Yevhen , Borysova Olha , Kohut Iryna
Published: July 2018

The current relevance of the research. Over a significant period of human development disabled people were considered to be dependent and were regarded as weak, incapable, etc. Frequently, dependence, a result of disability, was exaggerated by teachers, family members and society. Adaptive physical culture and sportscan reduce dependence and social isolation, helping disabled people to become full members of society. Methods of the reseacrh: analysis and generalization of special, scientific and methodical literature, the Internet; standardized documents; comparative method, abstracting, logical and theoretical analysis. The results of the study. The main goal of lessons of adaptive physical culture and sports is to increase the level of social integration, welfare, reduction of the isolation of disabled people by changing public opinion about disability and their psychological attitude to themselves. To achieve this goal, first of all, it is necessary to reduce the level of discrimination which is associated with disability. Secondly, to encourage and stimulate disabled people to realize their own potential and, thirdly, to implement changes in society that promote the full social implementation of this category of people.At the same time, the competitions in adaptive sports, first was regarded as local, have turned into the widespread international sports events for athletes with different forms of disability. The success of the modern Deaflympics, Paralympic Games and World Games of Special Olympics is both a testimony and a factor in changing the attitude of society towards disability. Disabled people are not a burden or an issue of social expenditure, but they are assets of a society that can make a significant contribution to its development and prosperity. It is necessary to create appropriate conditions, eliminating physical and social barriers. Training sessions and competitions contribute to it in terms of creating a barrier-free environment, and changing public attitudes. Conclusions. Motor activity training of disabled people, their participation in competitions, can not only improve their physical, mental, leadership and other qualities, promote the development of communicative abilities, self-confidence, confidence in their own abilities, but also provide the preconditions for maximum full-fledged social integration of disabled people, as well as the humanization of public relations in general.

In this paper the quality of life as a multifaceted phenomenon has been studied. The problem of assessment of the quality of life has been investigated. Assessment of quality of life is an important tool for socio–economic policy of any state. Quality of life is defined as the degree of satisfaction of material, cultural and spiritual human needs. Component definitions emphasize the multidimensional nature of this concept and highlight different dimensions of quality of life (objective and subjective). Movement and physical activity is a crucial, fundamental factor in the formation, preservation and strengthening of health and human development. The purpose is to analyze existing approaches to the assessment of the quality of human life and to summarize international experience. To assess the quality of life of the population use two approaches, the aim and purpose of which are different. Characterized the international system for the assessment of quality of life. There are several systems of assessment of quality of life: General methodological concept of standards and quality of life (Standard of Living and Quality of Life), the methodology of the Economist Intelligence Unit (the division of The Economist Group), the new Europeandevelopment strategy for the next 10 years – «Europe 2020: Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth», the methodology of International Living (Ireland), the methodology of the EU, the methodology of the OECD (Organization for economic cooperation and development) in an innovative platform of the Better Life Initiative. These methodologies towards «health» are considering physical activity as the main indicator of the quality of human life. Strategic management challenges for Ukraine are to improve the quality of life of people in conjunction with the creation of conditions for realization of innovation model of economic growth, achievement and transformation of the high standards of quality of life in a powerful factor of global competitiveness.

Thematic justification is determined by searching for ways to optimize the level of human physical activity. Studying the level of physical activity of residents of neighboring countries of Ukraine and Poland, which have differences in systems of education, culture, socio–economic structure, will assist in searching for ways to optimize the level of physical activity of the population of both countries. Special focus of the study will be on the problem of studying physical activity of children and youth, the proper level of which is a guarantee of nation’s health. Research objective is to establish the current state and characteristics of physical activity of 13–15–year–old children living in Poland and Ukraine. Research results. The article provides a comparative analysis of the results of a survey of Polish and Ukrainian 13–15–year–old school students. A comparative analysis of indicators of physical activity of 13–15–year–old children living in Poland and Ukraine was also conducted. It has been established that children of both countries equally prefer sedentary activities in their spare time. Ukrainian school students give a higher evaluation to physical education classes and their own level of physical aptitude. At the same time, there is a tendency among Ukrainian school students towards the decrease of the level of physical activity from 13 to 15 years of age if compared to Polish school students. Conclusions: obtained pedometer indicators are below normal, which is indicative of a sedentary lifestyle of students of this age group (Ukrainian students – 7,9 thousand steps per day, Polish students – 9,7 thousand steps per day). Polish students have a tendency towards increasing the volume of physical activity (13 years old – 8,8 thousand steps per day, 15 years old – 11 thousand steps per day). Conversely, students in Ukraine tend to decrease the volume of physical activity (13 years – 9,9 thousand steps per day, 15 years – 6,7 thousand steps per day).

Kabupaten Sukoharjo, Provinsi Jawa Tengah adalah pusat industri pengolahan dan pemasar jamu di Indonesia. Terdapat sekitar 60 pengusaha dan pedagang jamu (dari skala kecil, menengah, hingga besar) yang tergabung dalam Koperasi Jamu Indonesia (KOJAI). Pada tahun 2012, Kecamatan Nguter diresmikan sebagai “Kampung Jamu”. Dalam perkembangannya, industri jamu Nguter mengalami permasalahan diantarannya sulitnya mendapatkan izin edar dari Badan POM karena produk belum memenuhi standar Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Kemampuan para pelaku usaha, sulitnya mendapatkan bahan baku yang berkualitas dan penerapan teknologi yang sederhana menjadi penyebab utama sulitnya menghasilkan produk terstandar. Berdasarkan hal tersebut dan dalam rangka menghadapi globalisasi perdagangan, maka diperlukan pendampingan kepada pelaku usaha industri jamu. Kompetensi pendamping sangat penting perannya dalam mendampingi para pengusaha industri jamu. Kompetensi yang diperlukan pendamping antara lain pengetahuan mengenai Cara Pembuatan Obat Tradisional yang Baik (CPOTB) dan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kaji tindak, yang menggabungkan antara metode survey dengan aksi pemberdayaan di masyarakat. Kegiatan dalam penelitian ini meliputi studi literatur/ dokumentasi, survey, wawancara mendalam, focus group discussion (FGD), dan workshop.

Uremic cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease. Fluid overload and oxidative stress play important roles in its pathogenesis. This study aims to determine the effect of quercetin on uremic cardiomyopathy in 5/6-nephrectomized rats. To our knowledge, its cardioprotective effect on uremic cardiomyopathy induced in rats by 5/6 nephrectomy has not been investigated yet. Uremia was induced surgically in male Sprague-Dawley rats via 5/6 nephrectomy. Quercetin was administered per orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks prior to sacrifice. Meanwhile, captopril was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. Lipid peroxidation was assessed using TBARS reaction, while GPX activity was determined to explore the endogen antioxidant mechanism. Myocardial fibrosis was analyzed using Massons’ Trichrome staining and the level of NT-proBNP in plasma was measured as a marker of cardiac dysfunction. Nephrectomy 5/6 had no effects on plasma NT– proBNP levels, cardiac and plasma MDA levels, but induced mild myocardial fibrosis and significant increase in cardiac GPX activity in comparison with normal rat (p<0.05). However, administration of quercetin or captopril did not ameleriote those mild myocardial fibrosis and increased GPX activity. Uremic cardiomyopathy induced by 5/6 nephrectomy demonstrated mild myocardial fibrosis but preservation of cardiac function demonstrated by NT-proBNP levels. Increased of GPX activity in the nephrectomized-rats compared to the control rats (p<0.05) suggests induction of antioxidant defense mechanisms that might not be exhausted yet. This condition highlighted a compensatory phase which was unchanged following chronic administration of either quercetin or captopril.
