Katolička crkva Sv. Petra i dubrovačka kolonija u Starom Trgu kod Trepče
Authors: Ratkovčić Rosana
Published: December 2017

Izgradnja katoličke crkve sv. Petra u Starom Trgu kod Trepče vezana je uz prisustvo katoličkih doseljenika, saskih rudara i dubrovačkih i kotorskih trgovaca, koji se u srednjovjekovnim stoljećima naseljavaju oko bogatog rudnika. U ovom članku istražujemo koja je uloga kolonije Dubrovčana u izgradnji i opremanju kosovske crkve. Prema ostacima crkve može se pretpostaviti da je bila trobrodna s kupolom iznad zadnjeg traveja srednjeg broda, kao i katedrale Dubrovnika i Kotora, a radionica iz primorja vjerojatno je radila i na oslikavanju crkve. Podatak da je godine 1487. župnik crkve sv. Petra naručio izradu oltarnog poliptiha od dubrovačkog slikara Stjepana Ugrinovića pokazuje da su na ovaj način graditelji i slikari iz Dubrovnika mogli biti pozivani i u ranijim stoljećima i da bi mogao postojati kontinuitet tradicije njihovog rada na crkvi sv. Petra u Trepči.

Un’altra opera di Paolo Campsa e Giovanni di Malines in Istria
Authors: Štefanac Samo
Published: December 2017

Alla storia della scultura veneziana rinascimentale viene aggiunto solo recentemente il capitolo della scultura lignea. Negli scritti sull’arte veneziana, questa produzione è stata sempre all’ombra della scultura in pietra, forse anche perché la produzione di scultura lignea è stata più strettamente associata alla pittura, e sebbene gli intagliatori avevano la propria associazione “Arte de Marangoni da Case”,1 loro collaboravano regolarmente con i pittori, procurando soprattutto complesse cornici di polittici, ma siccome non si trattava sempre solo di cornici, poiché la figura centrale dei polittici dipinti era talvolta in rilievo, gli intagliatori assumevano certamente un ruolo più significativo che dei semplici marangoni. Quando alla metà del Quattrocento nelle chiese veneziane le pale rinascimentali cominciarono a sostituire i polittici, le botteghe d’intaglio hanno perso la maggior parte dei committenti nella città lagunare. Tuttavia, il cambio di gusto a Venezia e nelle maggiori città della Terraferma non ha causato il declino di queste botteghe che hanno trovato nuovi committenti nelle piccole cittadine e nei villaggi di poche centinaia di abitanti, nella stessa laguna, in Terraferma, nonché in Istria, Dalmazia e perfino in Puglia. Un po’ meno dominante è la presenza delle opere veneziane in Friuli, soprattutto nelle zone prealpine, dove nella seconda metà del Quattrocento si erano formate potenti botteghe locali che probabilmente non lasciavano molto spazio alle committenze ai veneziani. Nelle zone menzionate sopra, il polittico come forma di ancona d’altare è sopravvissuta, anche grazie ai frequenti aggiornamenti stilistici, almeno fino alla metà del Cinquecento e finora non si è studiato sufficientemente, ovvero su quale potrebbe essere stato l’impatto di questo fenomeno allo sviluppo dell’altaristica e della scultura lignea nei periodi successivi, cioè nel tardo Cinquecento e nel Seicento, sia nei paesi in questione sia nelle zone limitrofe delle Alpi orientali.
O načinu funkcioniranja predromaničkih klesarskih atelijera na primjeru Kotorske klesarske radionice
Authors: Zornija Meri
Published: December 2017

U radu se donose novije znanstvene spoznaje o Kotorskoj klesarskoj radionici, djelatnoj na prostoru južnog Jadrana u prvoj polovini 9. stoljeća. Na temelju njezinog znatno obogaćenog opusa na matičnom tlu Boke kotorske, ali i na širem području od dubrovačke Astareje do gradova Dračke teme sve do Lješa, sagledan je značaj ove radionice u lokalnim okvirima, s posebnim naglaskom na njezin odnos prema Klesarskoj radionici iz doba biskupa Ivana, koja joj je neposredno prethodila. Iznose se pretpostavke o organizaciji rada njezinih klesara, načinu školovanja majstora i širenju produkcije na okolna područja.

U Plominu je nedavno ponovo pronađen zametnuti natpis koji spominje histarsko-liburnsku božicu Iku, a u mjestu je zamijećen drugi njoj posvećen zavjetni natpis koji se u novijoj literaturi smatrao izgubljenim, pa je prilika da se iznova podsjeti na poznate podatke i pretpostavke o kultu ove božice i njegovu karakteru.
Dva natpisa otkrivena u neposrednoj blizini Dioklecijanove palače
Authors: Cambi Nenad
Published: December 2017

Rad je posvećen dvama rimskim natpisima. Na prvom je zabilježen car Prob, jedan od Dioklecijanovih neposrednih prethodnika, a na drugom se s dobrim razlozima može pretpostaviti da su bila zabilježena imena Dioklecijana i Galerija. Oba natpisa su objavljena, ali im se nikad nije poklonila veća znanstvena pozornost. Na drugom natpisu sačuvane su samo tri riječi, ali to je ipak dovoljno da se smije pretpostaviti da je riječ o tetrarhijskim carevima. Na temelju analogija može se pretpostaviti da su na natpisu bila zabilježena imena Dioklecijana i Galerija

Authors: Božić Bogović Dubravka
Published: December 2017

U radu se na osnovi podataka iz kanonskih vizitacija biskupija na području Srijema u 18. i prvoj polovici 19. stoljeća analiziraju odrednice vjerskog života katolika kako bi se opisala osnovna obilježja vjerske svakodnevice. Analiza i interpretacija usmjerene su na utvrđivanje stupnja prihvaćanja crkvenih odredbi u pitanjima kulta i bogoslužja, na vjersku praksu, oblike narodne pobožnosti, moral i ponašanje vjernika te vjersko discipliniranje i konformizam. Utvrđuje se odnos između katoličke i drugih vjerskih zajednica, posebno u kontekstu izgradnje vjerskog identiteta. Procjenjuje se vrijednost kanonskih vizitacija kao izvora za povijest vjerske svakodnevice.
Naukir, nauclērus, ναύκληρος: etimološka bilješka o pučkim odrazima jednog starog pomorskog termina na istočnom Jadranu
Authors: Vuletić Nikola
Published: December 2017

Odrazi grčkog pomorskog termina ναύκληρος u različitim se slavenskim govorima istočnog Jadrana dade pratiti od srednjovjekovnih potvrda (navьklerь, navkir), preko onih ranog novog vijeka (naukijer, naukir) do potvrda u suvremenim dalmatinskim govorima (naukir, navukir, nakir). Ne čini se spornim da ovi oblici nisu preuzeti izravno iz grčkog, ali o bližem izvoru posuđivanja nema suglasja. Dosada izneseni etimološki prijedlozi taj izvor vide u srednjovjekovnom latinskom (Maretić), italoromanskom (Vasmer) ili u dalmatoromanskom (Vinja, Skok), no pritom većina autora nije obratila pozornost na osobitosti glasovnog razvoja istočnojadranske i italoromanske građe. U ovome se radu raspravljaju glasovni problemi koji prate hipoteze o italoromanskom ili o dalmatoromanskom porijeklu istočnojadranskih oblika te se, temeljem toga, predlažu različita moguća rješenja.
Hagiotoponimi na istarskim gradinama
Authors: Buršić-Matijašić Klara
Published: December 2017

Mjesna imena odraz su izgleda prostora, gospodarstva, povijesnog razvitka te društvenih odnosa. Ona govore o slojevitosti naseljavanja određenog teritorija. Tijekom brončanog i željeznog doba u Istri, osim pećina, glavni oblik naselja bile su gradine kojih je kartirano oko 450, od kojih čak 85 ili 19 % nose svetačka imena. Na temelju terenskih istraživanja te korištenja podataka s povijesnih i suvremenih topografskih karata napravljen je detaljni razmještaj toponima i analiza njihove rasprostranjenosti s obzirom na dva fizička prostora, more i kopno, i dva jezična prostora, hrvatski i talijanski. Crkvice ili njihovi ostatci, ili samo toponimi sa svetačkim imenom, pokazuju kontinuitet života na određenom mjestu, kao i sigurnost koju su jamčile unutar svojih zidova. Najučestaliji hagiotoponim jest Sveta Marija i sve njezine inačice (Sveta Marina).
Nesonim Dugi otok
Authors: Skračić Vlado
Published: December 2017

Dugi otok jedini je veliki naseljeni otok na Jadranu koji ima dvorječno ime, koji ima hrvatsko ime i koji ima imenicu otok u imenu. Gotovo svi lingvisti i povjesničari slažu se da se otok prvi put spominje u spisu Konstantina Porfirogeneta (X. st.) kao Pizych i da se danas može prepoznati u imenu lokaliteta Čuh i Čuh Polje na Dugom otoku u blizini Proverse. Nestankom naselja zaboravilo se ime, a ime ni jednog novonastalog naselja nije postalo ujedno i nesonim, kako je to često slučaj u hrvatskoj nesonimiji. Arhivska građa i povijesne karte otok su identificirali redovito romanskom složenicom: geografski termin insula/isola + determinant Magna, Maiori, Grossa, Grande, Longa. Tek se u drugoj polovici XIX. st. prvi put naziva Dugi. Ni nesonim Dugi otok, ni etnik Dugootočanin, ni ktetik dugootočki ne koriste se izvan službene upotrebe.

Published: December 2017

Objective

Reliable biomarkers associated with aggressiveness of non-functioning gonadotroph adenomas (GAs) are lacking. As the growth of tumor remnants is highly variable, molecular markers for growth potential prediction are necessary. We hypothesized that fast- and slow-growing GAs present different gene expression profiles and reliable biomarkers for tumor growth potential could be identified, focusing on the specific role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Design and methods

Eight GAs selected for RNA sequencing were equally divided into fast- and slow-growing group by the tumor volume doubling time (TVDT) median (27.75 months). Data were analyzed by tophat2, cufflinks and cummeRbund pipeline. 40 genes were selected for RT-qPCR validation in 20 GAs based on significance, fold-change and pathway analyses. The effect of silencingMTDH(metadherin) andEMCN(endomucin) onin vitromigration of human adenoma cells was evaluated.

Results

350 genes were significantly differentially expressed (282 genes upregulated and 68 downregulated in the fast group,P-adjusted <0.05). Among 40 selected genes, 11 showed associations with TVDT (−0.669<R<−0.46,P < 0.05). These werePCDH18, UNC5D, EMCN, MYO1B, GPM6Aand six EMT-related genes (SPAG9, SKIL, MTDH, HOOK1, CNOT6LandPRKACB).MTDH, but notEMCN, demonstrated involvement in cell migration and association with EMT markers.

Conclusions

Fast- and slow-growing GAs present different gene expression profiles, and genes related to EMT have higher expression in fast-growing tumors. In addition toMTDH, identified as an important contributor to aggressiveness, the other genes might represent markers for tumor growth potential and possible targets for drug therapy.
One-hour glucose value as a long-term predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality: the Malmö Preventive Project
Authors: Nielsen Mette L , Pareek Manan , Leósdóttir Margrét , Eriksson Karl-Fredrik , Nilsson Peter M , Olsen Michael H
Published: December 2017

Objective

To examine the predictive capability of a 1-h vs 2-h postload glucose value for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Design

Prospective, population-based cohort study (Malmö Preventive Project) with subject inclusion 1974–1992.

Methods

4934 men without known diabetes and cardiovascular disease, who had blood glucose (BG) measured at 0, 20, 40, 60, 90 and 120 min during an OGTT (30 g glucose per m2 body surface area), were followed for 27 years. Data on cardiovascular events and death were obtained through national and local registries. Predictive capabilities of fasting BG (FBG) and glucose values obtained during OGTT alone and added to a clinical prediction model comprising traditional cardiovascular risk factors were assessed using Harrell’s concordance index (C-index) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).

Results

Median age was 48 (25th–75th percentile: 48–49) years and mean FBG 4.6 ± 0.6 mmol/L. FBG and 2-h postload BG did not independently predict cardiovascular events or death. Conversely, 1-h postload BG predicted cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and remained an independent predictor of cardiovascular death (HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01–1.17, P = 0.02) and all-cause mortality (HR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.05–1.16, P < 0.0001) after adjusting for various traditional risk factors. Clinical risk factors with added 1-h postload BG performed better than clinical risk factors alone, in predicting cardiovascular death (likelihood-ratio test, P = 0.02) and all-cause mortality (likelihood-ratio test, P = 0.0001; significant IDI, P = 0.0003).

Conclusion

Among men without known diabetes, addition of 1-h BG, but not FBG or 2-h BG, to clinical risk factors provided incremental prognostic yield for prediction of cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality.
A proteomic profile of postpartum cervical repair in mice
Authors: Stanley Robert Lee , Ohashi Takako , Gordon Jacob , Mowa Chishimba Nathan
Published: December 2017

A timely and complete uterine cervical tissue repair postpartum is of necessity to prevent obstetrical complications, such as cervicitis, ectropion, hemorrhage, repeated miscarriages or abortions and possibly preterm labor and malignancies. We recently characterized the morphological alterations, as well as changes in angiogenic expression profile in a mice uterine cervix during the immediate postpartum period. Here, we build on this previous study using a proteomic analysis to profile postpartum tissue changes in mice cervix during the same period, the first 48 h of postpartum. The current proteomics data reveal a variable expression of several intermediate filaments, cytoskeletal modulators and proteins with immune and/or wound-healing properties. We conclude that postpartum cervical repair involves a rapid and tightly regulated balance between a host of biological factors, notably between anti- and pro-inflammatory factors, executed by the M1 and M2 macrophage cells, as revealed by proteomics and verified by confocal immunofluorescence. Future studies will assess the suitability of some of the key proteins identified in this study as potential markers for determining the phase of postpartum cervical repair in obstetrical complications, such as cervical lacerations.

Teatro xuvenil e memoria histórica: "Con Franco nun armario" de Bernardino Graña
Authors: Pais Laura Piñeiro
Published: December 2017

A consecuencia do golpe militar de 1936, o teatro galego foi practicamente inexistente en Galicia ata a fundación da Editorial Galaxia a comezos dos anos cincuenta. É precisamente en Galaxia onde Bernardino Graña inicia a súa angueira teatral coa publicación de Vinte mil pesos crime en 1962. O seu labor no eido da dramaturxia non cesará ata 2010, ano en que publica a farsa para nenos Larpancia saborosa do lobo e da raposa, ata o momento, a última peza teatral publicada polo autor. Este artigo abordará o estudo da dramaturxia de Bernardino Graña centrándonos na obra Con Franco nun armario, na que analizaremos os temas principais, así como os motivos temáticos da violencia, a morte e a crítica social e histórica.
El imaginario erótico en "Nacer del fuego", de Pepa Nieto
Authors: Campos López Ronald
Published: December 2017

Este artículo propone un estudio exploratorio y descriptivo de la poesía erótica en Nacer del fuego, de la gallega Pepa Nieto, a partir de las estructuras antropológicas del imaginario y el concepto de erotismo como celebración del cuerpo, fuerza motriz y armónica de la Creación, símbolo del progreso y esquema místico-amoroso. Este abordaje simbólico permite observar una plenitud dinámica, tanto existencial, amorosa, erótica como mística de la hablante lírica, a través de la integración de estructuras propias de los regímenes diurno, nocturno y copulativo, de modo que las experiencias de la soledad, el paso angustiante del tiempo, la caída, la purificación, la luz, la elevación, el mar, el lugar seguro y la noche tranquila, el gozo y la sensualidad, el fuego, la ensoñación y las experiencias del tiempo cíclico interactúan en un dinamismo relativamente equilibrado. Brevemente, se describen asimismo las figuras estilísticas y la métrica presentes en el poemario.
La retórica de la elegía funeraria en el poemario A mi madre de Rosalía de Castro
Authors: Ferrari Marta Beatriz
Published: December 2017

En el presente artículo nos proponemos realizar un acercamiento al poemario A mi madre (1863) de la escritora gallega Rosalía de Castro, a partir de un enfoque que podríamos denominar en sentido amplio, retórico. Nos detendremos en las estrategias discursivas allí utilizadas, no sólo las vinculadas al plano de la elocutio o de la dispositio, sino que atenderemos fundamentalmente a las diversas tecnologías de la persuasión. En ese recorrido nos centraremos en la retórica de la elegía funeraria y de la poesía sepulcral analizando sus componentes formales -lamentatio, laudatio, consolatio- y sus tópicos, deudores en ambos casos de la estética romántica del siglo XIX.
Psychosocial adjustment to cancer and its associated factors in patients undergoing chemotherapy: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Taghadosi Mohsen , Tajamoli Zeinab , Aghajani Mohammad
Published: December 2017

Background: Adjustment to cancer refers to functions adopted by an individual for sustaining health and well-being, and leads to a better life and improved quality of life. Failure to adjust causes anxiety, depression, distress, and behavioral problems. The aim of study was to assess psychosocial adjustment to cancer and its associated factors in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 260 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at a hospital center in Kashan, Iran in 2016. Data collection tools included demographic details, Psychological Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS), and adherence to religious beliefs (Temple). Samples were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were analyzed in SPSS-16 software using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

Results: The mean age of participants was 54.76±13.82 years, duration with cancer was 10.11±18.89 months, duration of treatment with chemotherapy was 4.8±6.2 months, and the mean score adjustment was 50.1±17.18. Adjustment was found to be significantly related to education, marital status, financial status, employment, and adherence to religious beliefs, but not to age, duration with cancer, duration of chemotherapy, or place of residence. Patients with no metastasis were better adjusted compared to other groups, with a significant difference from the other groups.

Conclusion: More than half of patients had moderate to high levels of adjustment. Patients with poor education, self-employment, no family support, low adherence to religious beliefs, and with metastasis displayed poorer adjustment levels; all of these negatively affected their adjustment to cancer. Thus, patients undergoing chemotherapy need greater family, social, and economic support for adjustment.

Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Timely antibiotic administration in immunocompromised patients is associated with improved outcomes. The aim of our study was to decrease the mean time to administration of antibiotics in hospitalized bone marrow transplant patients with fever from 75 to <60 minutes.

METHODS:

By using the Model of Improvement, we performed plan-do-study-act cycles to design, test, and implement high-reliability interventions to decrease time to antibiotics. Nursing, physician, and pharmacy interventions were successfully applied to improve timely antibiotic administration.

RESULTS:

The study period was from April 2014 through March of 2017. Through heightened awareness, dedicated roles and responsibilities, a standardized order set specifically used for first fever patients, notification to the pharmacy about newly febrile first fever patients through a dedicated order, the creation of a dedicated sticker (“STAT first dose antibiotic, give directly to nurse”) to be printed when antibiotics were entered via the order set in the pharmacy, and prioritization of antibiotic delivery on arrival on the floor, we saw an increase in the percentage of patients receiving antibiotics within 60 minutes of documented fever from a mean of 40% to over 90%. Our mean time for antibiotic administration decreased from 75 to 45 minutes.

CONCLUSIONS:

Implementation of a standardized process for notifying providers of new fever in patients, prioritization of antibiotic preparation in the central pharmacy, and timely antibiotic order entry resulted in improved times to antibiotic administration in the febrile bone marrow transplant population.
A vinculação entre epistemologia evolucionária e linguagem segundo Karl Raimund Popper.
Authors: Persegueiro Antônio Carlos
Published: December 2017

O texto aborda a relação entre epistemologia evolucionária e linguagem com base na filosofia de Karl Raimund Popper. Discorre sobre a plausibilidade desta vinculação e, concomitantemente, apresenta o conceito da dita epistemologia. Em seguida, efetua a caracterização da análise da linguagem popperiana, atividade erigida através de divergências travadas com o Círculo de Viena. Logo após, na esteira evolucionista darwiniana, trata das funções autoexpressiva, sinalizadora, descritiva e argumentativa da linguagem, aliando-as à manifestação, tradução e, em determinados casos, discussão crítica de pensamentos. Desse modo, ao analisar a presente vinculação, indaga: qual o avanço detectado a partir da aproximação entre epistemologia evolucionária e linguagem? No intuito de averiguar esta questão, o texto afirma que, uma vez empreendida tal vinculação, Popper melhor observa as transformações no seio da linguagem, particularmente em enunciações. Tanto que, na sequência, aplica-lhes ajustes, correções e testes, os quais favorecem, portanto, o aprimoramento e rigor racionais, caros ao conhecimento objetivo, intimamente ligado à evolução na qual estamos imersos.

Leituras feministas de Merleau-Ponty: do corpo à identidade.
Authors: Barbosa Camila Palhares
Published: December 2017

Este texto tem como objetivo analisar o conceito de corpo em Merleau-Ponty e sua contribuição para uma leitura feminista. Para tanto, farei uma rápida revisão à recepção mais clássica de Merleau-Ponty por feministas como Simone de Beauvoir e Sara Heinämaa, que adotam a perspectiva fenomenológica. Também, focar na articulação mais política da proposta por Linda Alcoff de como a noção de “corpo habitual” de Merleau-Ponty contribui para uma interpretação identitária de gênero e raça.
A correlação entre a noção de subjetividade e o desenvolvimento do programa da fenomenologia em Husserl
Authors: Conceição Adelar
Published: December 2017

O objetivo do presente artigo é assinalar a correlação entre a concepção de subjetividade e o desenvolvimento da fenomenologia enquanto projeto programático. Para isso, percorremos as diferentes fases da fenomenologia husserliana procurando destacar o papel crescente desempenhado pela subjetividade, tanto a partir da chamada “virada transcendental”, quando ainda na etapa tardia da temática do “mundo da vida” (Lebenswelt). Por fim, procuramos mostrar que para a concepção de fenomenologia de Husserl permanece a referência última à subjetividade, pois ela é não só condição, mas também fundamento que confere unidade ao projeto geral da fenomenologia nas suas sucessivas etapas.
A characterization of signed discrete infinitely divisible distributions
Authors: Zhang Huiming , Li Bo , Kerns G. Jay
Published: December 2017

In this article, we give some reviews concerning negative probabilities model and quasi-infinitely divisible at the beginning. We next extend Feller’s characterization of discrete infinitely divisible distributions to signed discrete infinitely divisible distributions, which are discrete pseudo compound Poisson (DPCP) distributions with connections to the Lévy-Wiener theorem. This is a special case of an open problem which is proposed by Sato (2014), Chaumont and Yor (2012). An analogous result involving characteristic functions is shown for signed integer-valued infinitely divisible distributions. We show that many distributions are DPCP by the non-zero p.g.f. property, such as the mixed Poisson distribution and fractional Poisson process. DPCP has some bizarre properties, and one is that the parameter λ in the DPCP class cannot be arbitrarily small.
Generalized q-starlike functions
Authors: Noor Khalida Inayat , Riaz Sadia
Published: December 2017

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of q-bounded radius rotation and define the class R*m(q), m ≥ 2, q ∈ (0, 1). The class R*2(q) coincides with S*q which consists of q-starlike functions defined in the open unit disc. Distortion theorems, coefficient result and radius problem are studied. Relevant connections to various known results are pointed out.
CAROTENOID-ENRICHED DIET FOR PRE-MATURATION STAGE OF POND-REARED TIGER SHRIMP, Penaeus monodon PART I. THE EFFECTS ON GROWTH, PIGMENTATION AND WHOLE BODY NUTRIENT CONTENT
Authors: Laining Asda , Trismawanti Ike , Kamaruddin Kamaruddin , Makmur Makmur
Published: December 2017

Carotenoids, besides as a natural pigment, may have vital roles in the growth of crustacean. The aim of this study was to clarify the influence of combined carotenoids given since pre-maturation stage on the growth performances, pigmentation and biochemical composition of the whole body of pond-reared tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon. Two experimental diets were supplemented with or without carotenoid mixture consisting of astaxanthin, canthaxanthin and other carotenoids contained in Spirulina. The carotenoid mixture was supplemented in the commercial diet normally used as a starter feed for tiger shrimp, re-pelleted and fed to tiger shrimp with an initial body weight of 31.7±1.3 g. Shrimp were stocked in four 1,000 m2 concrete ponds with a density of 1 shrimp/m2 and fed until the shrimp reached maturation stage (broodstock size). Variables observed were growth performances and pigmentation properties during the pre-maturation stage and total carotenoid content in several tissues of the female broodstock after being fed with the diets until maturation stage. After 16 weeks, shrimp fed with carotenoid-enriched diet (PC) diet produced significantly (P<0.05) higher biomass than the diet without the enrichment (PO). The color of raw shrimp fed with PC diet was darker with greenish-brown compared to shrimp fed PO diet which was greenish blue. The visual appearances of 3-min steamed shrimp produced the color of red-orange for shrimp fed carotenoid compared to orange-yellow for control PO. The total carotenoid content in the whole body of shrimp fed PC diet were significantly (P<0.05) enhanced compared to control PO diet which was 42.8 ±5.8 and 55.8± 5.1 µg/g for PO and PC diet, respectively. Supplemental carotenoid in the pre-maturation diet increased the biomass production from 23.1±1.9 kg to 30.2 ±0.1 kg and enhanced the color of the shrimp which was in line with carotenoid content in the whole body of pond-reared tiger shrimp.

The natural radioactivity due to presence of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K radionuclides in Lao PDR cements was measured for first time using a gamma-spectrometry with HPGe detector. Two different types of cement produced by 4 local cement companies in Lao PDR have been investigated.  The specific radioactivity of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the investigated samples ranged from 24.83 ± 1.18  to 54.39 ± 5.90  Bq kg-1 with a mean of 37.76 ± 10.71 Bq kg-1, 6.63 ± 1.59 to 21.17 ± 0.48 Bq kg-1 with a mean of 13.77 ± 5.85 Bq kg-1 and 43.28 ± 7.68 to 168.70 ± 3.34 Bq kg-1 with a mean of 116.07 ± 47.50 Bq kg-1, respectively. The radium equivalent activity (Raeq), the gamma-index, the external and internal hazard indices, Absorb Dose Rate in Air (D) and Annual Effective Dose Equivalent (AEDE) were estimated for the radiation hazard of the natural radioactivity in all cement samples. The obtained results were compared with the corresponding values for cement of different countries. The calculated Raeq values of Lao PDR samples are lower than the limit of 370 Bq kg-1 set fo building materials. The mean indoor absorbed dose rate is slightly lower than the population-weighted average of 84 nGy h-1 while the corresponding effective dose was 79% less than the dose ft of 1 mSv y-1. The results obtained in this study show no significant radiological hazards arising from using Lao PDR cement for construction of houses.

In this work we present the yield ratios of the \(^{179m,g}\)W isomeric pair produced in the photonuclear reactions \(^{nat}\)W(g,xn)\(^{179m,g}\)W  with bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 50-, 55-, 60-, and 65-MeV. The measurements were carried out by the induced activity method in combination with direct gamma-ray spectrometry. The measured activities were corrected for overlapping gamma-ray peaks, self-absorption of low energy gamma-rays and true coincidence summing effects. The present results  are measured for the first time with bremsstrahlung end-point energies beyond the giant dipole resonance region. The obtained results are discussed with respect to the incident bremsstrahlung energies and reaction channel effect.

Published: December 2017

Platinum (Pt) electrodes were designed in imitation of screen-printed electrodes, and prepared by microelectronic techniques. These electrodes were then modified with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofibers for biosensing applications. ZnO nanofibers with average length \( \sim 20-30\; \mu\) m and diameter \(\sim 150\) nm in hexagonal crystalline structure are prepared using electrospinning method. Their surface characteristics were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical properties of modified Pt electrodes were investigated in comparison with commercial carbon screen-printed electrodes. The results showed that the cyclic voltammogram of modified Pt electrodes was stable, but has much lower resistance compared to that of carbon screen-printed electrodes.
Population Distribution of Vibrational Levels of the 2\(^1\Pi\) State of NaLi
Authors: Dung Nguyen Tien
Published: December 2017

We studied population distribution of vibrational levels for the 2\(^1\Pi\) of NaLi molecule from \(v'=0\) to \(v'=16\). The population of the levels was calculated numerically by solving the radial Schrodinger equation with an experimental potential extrapolated to the dissociation limit via a long range potential. We found that, for each highly excited level its population distribution is favorable around the right turning-point. The results provide important information for choosing convenient experimental parameters and explaining dynamical processes in the molecule
Relaxation Rate and Mobility of a Two-dimensional Electron Gas in MgZnO/ZnO Heterostructures Including Exchange and Correlation Effects
Authors: Tai Vo Van , Khanh Nguyen Quoc
Published: December 2017

We investigate the relaxation rate and mobility of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confined in MgZnO/ZnO heterostructures (HSs) for temperatures , taking into account exchange and correlation effects. We use the variational-subband-wave-function model for carrier confinement and assume that the electrons are confined to the lowest subband and scattered by acoustic phonons via deformation potential (DP) and piezoelectric (PE) fields, polar LO phonons, interface roughness (IRS), interface charges (IFCs) and the background impurities (BIs). The calculations are based on the linearized Boltzmann equation (BE) and the relaxation time approximation, assuming the scattering by acoustic phonons to be quasi-elastic. We consider three physically distinct temperature ranges with respect to phonon scattering: the Bloch-Grüneisen (BG), equipartition (EP), and inelastic regimes. In the inelastic regime at high temperatures, where the scattering from polar LO phonons becomes important, we solve directly the linearized BE by an iterative method and compare the obtained results with those of the low-temperature and high-energy relaxation-time approximation. Our calculated low-temperature mobility is in good agreement with the recent experiment.
Preparation of NiPt Alloys by Galvanic Replacement Reaction on Ni Films for Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell
Authors: Vinh Pham Van
Published: December 2017

NiPt alloys were prepared successfully by galvanic replacement reaction on the surface of Ni films. The electrolytic deposition of Ni films was investigated to get the high qualities of Ni films for the galvanic reaction. The influence of the electrolytic currents on the morphology and thickness of Ni films were observed by SEM. The thickness and roughness of the Ni films increase with the increase of electrolytic currents. XRD patterns showed that Ni films were formed in the crystal phase of Ni corresponding to face centered cubic structure. Pure Ni films obtained by annealing the films in hydrogen medium were used to prepare NiPt alloys due to galvanic reaction of Pt2+ with Ni2+ in H2PtCl6 solution. The influence of the H2PtCl6 solution concentration on the composition of NiPt alloys were investigated by EDX. The analyses results showed that NiPt alloy formed by using high solution concentration of H2PtCl6 has high composition of Pt. The electrocatalytic activities of both Ni films and NiPt alloys toward ethanol oxidation in KOH medium were carried out by the cyclic voltammetry measurement. Alloyed samples exhibited high electrocatalytic activities due to carbonaceous removal and weakening Pt-COads bond.

Published: December 2017

Ag–TiO2 thin film was fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering and photoreduction methods. Characteristics of the film such as surface area, crystal structure, and chemical composition were investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X–ray diffractometry (XRD) and UV–vis spectra. The photocatalytic activity of Ag–TiO2 thin film was determined by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution under various irradiation conditions. The antibacterial property of Ag–TiO2 thin film was conducted in E. coli bacteria. Results showed that the photocatalytic and antibacterial property of Ag–TiO2 thin film are better than those of pure TiO2 thin film in the visible region. Ag–TiO2 thin film shows a great potential application in the antibacterial and environment field.

Published: December 2017

Influence of magnetic field on water has been described in the paper. The patented device constructed on the basis of a stator of three-phase asynchronous motor has been used for processing of water in the experiments.It has been found that the water, processed in the electromagnetic field contains less mineral salts, has bigger cell permeability, and is characterized by falling of reduction-oxidation potential, and also by decreasing of electromotive force of the system. Electro physical indices may be used for rapid estimation of sanitary effect of water which is processed in the rotating magnetic field, and it is used for dilution of fresh-squeezed juices. Such juices have more positive action on a human body in comparison with non-diluted ones.The electromotive force of the system, which correlated with the value of reduction-oxidation potential of the system, has been measured. The decreasing of electromotive force confirms the sanitary effect of pure magnetized water, as well as the mix of fresh-squeezed juices with magnetized water. One of the main disadvantages, which interferes with wide introduction of magnetized water into the institutions, which are not equipped with special equipment, is the gradual loss of the obtained by the water properties with time. The results of the investigation show that the water threatened by electro magnetic field after freezing, low-temperature storage, and defrosting, preserves the obtained properties for a long time. It has been shown in the paper, that application of defrosted magnetic water for germination of seeds accelerates the processes of growth. Diluting of juices, such as apple, carrot, beat, and ash berry ones, by magnetized water, reduce of electro physical indices.

The article summarizes data concerning the biological activity of the promising herbal raw material: aerial part of goutweed (Aegopodium podagraria L., Apiaceae). This plant since time immemorial has been used as vegetable and fodder plant as well as in folk medicine including the treatment of the metabolic disorders. Nowadays the interest in this plant increases. The technology of obtaining the extract and the tincture from goutweed aerial part is described, the chemical composition of these preparations is elucidated. Pharmacological effects of the preparations obtained from goutweed are characterized with the special emphasis on the possibilities of the lipid metabolism disorders correction and prevention. The presented experimental results substantiate the efficacy of goutweed extract and the tincture under the conditions of alimentary lipemia together with their safety in the intact animals. Thus, the hypolipidemic activity of goutweed extract (1 g/kg intragastrically) and goutweed tincture (1 cm3/kg intragastrically) was shown in the test with olive oil loading in rats. The extract appeared to be able to decrease significantly the level of triglycerides in blood plasma, while the tincture reduced the content of plasma total lipids. In the intact rats, the extract at doses of 100 mg/kg and 1 g/kg as well as the tincture at doses of 1 and 5 cm3/kg did not influence on the values of the lipid metabolism after 12 days of administration. Total and HDL cholesterol as well as atherogenic index and plasma total lipids level remained unchanged. In contast to the data previously obtained on the models of hyperuricemia, in the intact rats there were no changes in plasma uric acid concentration (which was determined proceeding from the role of the purine metabolism disorders in metabolic syndrome pathogenesis). Thus, goutweed preparations are characterized with the regulatory mode of action and sufficient level of safety. The development of drugs as well as functional foods containing goutweed herbal raw material is promising.
