Authors: Hasan Nada M.
Published: September 2020

The measurements of major and trace elements in different brands of milk powder selected from the Iraqis market via the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) Technique have been studied in the present work. The result of the measurements reveals the high concentrations of sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Furthermore, low concentrations of aluminum, silicon, iron, bromine, molybdenum, iodine, barium, titanium, manganese, cobalt, chrome, nickel, copper, zinc and lead were detected. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) and Kjeldahl technique were also employed to determine the concentrations of nitrogen. It was found that the nitrogen concentration was in the range of (1.96 - 3.23) % which is within the permissible limits. The concentrations of the trace elements (copper, manganese, zinc, lead) were verified via the atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) technique. The results are compared with the authorized limit by the food and agriculture organization and the world health organization (FAO/WHO) standards.

Published: August 2020

A siderurgia de ferro e aço tem sofrido pressões e transformações determinantes nos últimos anos em função dos impactos ambientais gerados pelo setor. O ferro gusa, principal matéria-prima do aço, é produzido majoritariamente por meio de alto-fornos, uma tecnologia intensiva em consumo de energia, de recursos primários e, também, em emissão de gases de efeito estufa (GEE). Ao passo que o setor se vê pressionado com a escassez de matérias-primas e as repercussões da mudança climática, rotas tecnológicas em processo de desenvolvimento têm indicado uma potencial melhoria no desempenho ambiental do ciclo de vida do ferro gusa. A Avaliação de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) é um método que visa a estimar os impactos ambientais de produtos, serviços e processos, considerando desde a cadeia de suprimentos até a obtenção do produto final, bem como uso, e descarte final. Neste estudo, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura, análise bibliométrica e de patentes com o objetivo de levantar evidências e investigar as lacunas acerca dos aspectos ambientais da produção de ferro gusa, dos impactos do seu ciclo de vida e das reivindicações de inovação na siderurgia associadas às tecnologias "verdes". Verificou-se uma tendência de crescimento tanto em contribuições científicas quanto em registros de patente na última década, acentuada a partir de 2013. Os tópicos em destaque na discussão acadêmica abrangem desde inventários de fluxos no início da década, até o desempenho ambiental do processo produtivo, nos estudos mais recentes. O domínio tecnológico esteve focado na viabilização do reaproveitamento de resíduos, desenvolvimento de materiais alternativos e otimização de processo. Geograficamente, os países asiáticos, sobretudo a China, destacaram-se com a maior quantidade de contribuições acadêmicas e tecnológicas, embora países da Europa, das Américas e a Austrália também tenham se mobilizado ativamente. A convergência observada nesses resultados evidenciou a ocorrência de fenômenos análogos em diferentes perspectivas de produção de conhecimento: academia e indústria. Por fim, o tema revela ainda possuir potencial de aprofundamento, especialmente com respeito aos fornos em desenvolvimento.

Do particular para o geral: memória, história oral e estudos organizacionais
Authors: Hodge Patricia Ayumi , Costa Alessandra De Sá Mello da
Published: September 2020

Os estudos de memória organizacional vêm sendo criticados por sua visão instrumental, a-histórica, da memória. Como alternativa, Rowlinson, Booth, Clark, Delahaye e Procter (2010) propuseram a abordagem dos estudos de memória da sociologia e da história em sua vertente estrutural, na qual a memória priorizada é a supraindividual, acessada pelas comemorações e monumentos. Consequentemente, a memória individual e a História Oral como opções epistemológicas para se entender uma coletividade no tempo e no espaço acabaram em segundo plano. Sendo assim, o artigo tem como objetivo propor a História Oral como mais uma possibilidade teórico-metodológica aos estudos de memória nas organizações, por meio da discussão (1) sobre as distintas historiografias dos estudos de memória e da História Oral, assim como seus respectivos entrelaces com a pesquisa organizacional, e (2) sobre dois possíveis caminhos para se partir da memória individual para a social, apresentando exemplos clássicos da literatura de História Oral.
ModStore:Genotype Imputationasa Service Powered by SG10K Reference Panel
Authors: Zhang Weiwen , Wang Long , Aye Theint Theint
Published: September 2020

Background:

Asia is the largest continent in the world with a large group of populations. However, we are still in lack of an imputation server with an Asian-specific reference panel to estimate genotypes for genome wide association study in Asia. Currently, two well-known imputation servers are available, i.e., Michigan imputation server in the US and Sanger in the UK. However, the quality of imputation for Southeast Asia's populations is not satisfying by using their genotype imputation services and reference panels.

Objective:

In this paper, we develop ModStore imputation server with a specially designed reference panel to offer genotype imputation as a service, aiming to increase the power of genome wide association study of Singapore in the context of National Precision Medicine.

Method:

We present the implementation and customization of ModStore imputation server on high performance computing infrastructure. Meanwhile, we construct a reference panel based on whole-genome sequencing of Singaporeans, referred to as the SG10K reference panel, for improving the imputation accuracy of Southeast Asia's populations.

Results:

Experiment results show that by using the SG10K reference panel, over 79% improvement of mean Rsq can be achieved for the
imputation of three Singapore ethnic populations data set, i.e., Malay, Chinese, and Indian, under MAF<0.005 compared to the
1000 Genome reference panel.

Conclusion:

With ModStore imputation server, genotype imputation can be performed more accurately for data derived from array-based pharmacogenomics and pre-existing Southeast Asia's population-scale genetic.

Metal nanoparticular synthesis techniques essentially involve a reduction of metal ions to
convert them into nanoparticles. Reducing agents originate from natural and synthetic sources. Chemical
methods involve the application of synthetic agents that are not healthy and eco-friendly and thus,
there is a need for green methods. Green synthesis methods involve the reduction of metal ions using
plant-based extracts or phytoconstituents and microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, and fungi. These
methods have been found to be cost-effective, more efficient and eliminate the application of hazardous
chemicals. The phytoconstituents involved in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles are rich in polyols
and antioxidants, which in addition to reducing properties, also offer stabilization of formed nanoparticles.
Moreover, the size of nanoparticles can also be controlled based on the mechanism of reducing agent
involved therein. The present review is an attempt to highlight the methods of synthesis of metallic nanoparticles
with a special mention of applications of various natural antioxidants in their synthesis.
A New Method for Community Detection in the Complex Network on the
Basis of Similarity
Authors: Hussain Munawar , Akram Awais
Published: September 2020

Introduction:

Regarding complex network, to find optimal communities in the network has become a key topic in the
field of network theory. It is crucial to understand the Structure and functionality of associated networks. In this paper, we
propose a new method of community detection that works on the structural similarity of a network (SSN).

Method:

This method works in two steps, at the first step, it removes edges between the different groups of nodes which
are not very similar to each other. As a result of edge removal, the network is divided into many small random
communities, which are referred as main communities.

Result:

In the second step, we apply the evaluation method (EM), it chooses the best quality communities, from all main
communities which already produced at the first step. At last, we apply evaluation metrics to our proposed method and
benchmarking methods, which show that the SSN method can detect comparatively more accurate results than other
methods in this paper.

Conclusion:

In this article, we proposed a novel method for community detection in networks, called structural similarity
of network (SSN). It works in two steps. In the first step, it randomly removes low similarity edges from the network,
which makes several small disconnected communities, called as main communities. Afterward, the main communities are
merged to search for the final communities, which are near to actual existing communities of the network.

Discussion:

This approach is defined on the base of the unweighted network, so in Further research it could be used on
weighted networks and can explore some new deep-down attributes. Furthermore, it will be used Facebook and twitter
weighted data with the artificial intelligence approach.

Heavenly Teaching or Heterodox Teaching: The Construction of the Heterodox-Teaching-Image of Catholicism in the Ming China
Authors: Xuliang Sun
Published: August 2020

Ever since Jesuits were first allowed to stay in China in 1583, persecutions against them have never been ceased. Some of them were initiated due to their as foreigners while others were directly targeted their identities as Catholic missionaries. In such anti-Catholic persecutions, Catholicism was particularly accused and depicted as a heterodox teaching and was therefore classified into the same category with other traditional Chinese heterodox teachings like the White Lotus Sect, the Non-Action Sect, and so forth. This is actually a very strange, yet interesting phenomenon given the fact that Catholicism and traditional Chinese heterodoxy teachings share almost nothing in common whether in terms of doctrines, organization patterns or cultural backgrounds. Based on the research conducted by Barend ter Haar on the White Lotus Teaching tradition that the heterodox teachings in China represented by the White Lotus Sect is nothing but a political construction, which has no relevance to its actual religious beliefs, this paper aims at a detailed analysis on the process of the construction of the heterodox-teaching-image of Catholicism in the Ming China through a thorough study on the three labels that are repeatedly employed by anti-Catholic official-scholars, which are “assembling at night and dispersing at dawn”, “men and women indiscriminately mingling together”, and “sorcerers and sorcery-performing” respectively. Besides, the necessity and significance of the construction of the heterodox-teaching-image of Catholicism in the anti-Catholic persecutions will also be elaborated.

We did not imagine seeing ourselves in a scenario as in the current pandemic and in addition, we face important problems as it has been and is the misinformation, or even worse the abundance of fake or erroneous information. In addition, the population is not looking for information from reliable sources; this is possibly because the language used is out of their reach and the communicator does not bring it closer to the receiver. We are still debating the use of face mask and the usefulness of a series of treatments with not the required time to support scientifically their application, but we continue to insist -with no basis- on their usefulness.

Bearing capacity of pultrusion fiberglass gusset sheets in frame structures
Authors: Aripov Daler N. , Kuznetsov Ivan L. , Salakhutdinov Marat A.
Published: August 2020

Introduction. At present, design and construction of all-composite structures with the use of pultrusion fiberglass profiles (PFP) are developing. The bearing capacity of all-composite structures is often limited by their node connections. Over the last two decades, many studies have been devoted to the operation of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) element nodes connected at right angles (or in the direction of pultrusion and across it). Frame construction nodes are formed by adjoining frame elements at different angles to the bands through gusset sheets. In accordance with the literature analysis, a small number of tests have been carried out to investigate connections at angles to the pultrusion direction. Existing design solutions of gusset sheets in FRP frame structures are mainly made of steel or composite material produced using other technologies (compaction method, pressure treatment method). This study focuses on the implementation of a node connection on unidirectional gusset sheets in which the fibers are positioned at the angle of 0°. Taking into account the specific features of the material, the gusset sheet design in frame structures has been adapted to the properties of pultrusion fiberglass. The purpose of this study is to increase the efficiency of PFP gusset sheet use in frame structures based on the specifications of this material.

Materials and methods. The adaptive method was used when designing the node connection design on the frame structure gusset sheets. The material of the trapezoidal steel truss is changed to the composite material while retaining the original design solution. Subsequently, the structure is upgraded to take into account the properties and features of the composite material.

Results. The main results of the study involve determining the factor of safety of pultrusion fiberglass at different angles to the direction of force. In order to increase the bearing capacity of the element node connection, various gusset plate design solutions are provided, which take into account different forces in the frame structure elements.

Conclusions. When designing PFP constructions, features of the material must be taken into account. Replacing traditional materials with composite without adjusting the design layout and upgrading the structure leads to increased material intensity.
Impact of chosen antiscalant on the operating costs value for reverse osmosis systems
Authors: Golovesov Vladimir A. , Pervov Alexey G. , Suhov Genadiy D. , Rudakova Galina Ya.
Published: August 2020

Introduction. The choice of an effective antiscalant is an issue that all industrial enterprises have to face, as the operating costs value depends on it. Therefore, enterprises require experimental-industrial or at least laboratory tests before ordering a particular antiscalant. The process of selecting reagents for the maintenance of reverse osmosis systems by industrial enterprises is accompanied by the evaluation of all significant factors, from the inhibition efficiency to the product price. However, the analysis of scientific and technical literature shows that only the inhibition efficiency is taken into account when evaluating antiscalants, while the effect of sediment on the operating pressure, permeate quality and performance reduction are ignored. The tests should be carried out under actual operating conditions or be as close to them as possible. Therefore, in order to determine effective dosages, it is necessary to conduct laboratory tests on “actual” water while taking into account the actual recovery rate. This article presents the results of comparison of inhibitory property of two antiscalants, carried out on “actual” water from an industrial enterprise. An estimation of the effect of antiscalant choice on the operating costs value was carried out. The dependences of Са2+ content and antiscalant adsorption on its dose are obtained. Over the course of experiments, effective dosages of antiscalants were determined.

Materials and methods. The following antiscalants were used as part of this research: “AminatТМK” (NPF “Travers”, LLC, Russia), Jurbysoft M422 (Jurbywatertech, Lithuania). The research was conducted using industrial roll filters (model RE 1812-80 CSM, R-80G) (CSM, Korea).

Results. Experimentally determined dependences of Ca2+ content on the filtrate output value of reverse osmosis systems at different antiscalant doses of 2, 4 and 6 mg/l were obtained. It was shown that during water treatment with antiscalant the latter is adsorbed on the crystal surface, and the higher the antiscalant dose, the more of it is adsorbed.

Conclusions. It was shown that at the same dosage the antiscalant “AminatТМK” is more effective at preventing sedimentation of calcium carbonate during the operation of membrane units.

Adolescents' interpersonal relationships, self-consistency, and congruence: Life meaning as a mediator
Authors: Ye Jinhui , Ye Xiaoting
Published: August 2020

Self-consistency and congruence are indices used to measure individual mental health. We explored the correlations between interpersonal relationships, life meaning, self-consistency, and congruence in adolescents. Participants (N = 886) completed the Comprehensive Diagnosis
Scale of Interpersonal Relationships, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire–Chinese Version, and the Self-Consistency and Congruence Scale. Results show there were strong positive correlations between participants' interpersonal relationships, life meaning, selfconsistency, and congruence.
Further, life meaning mediated the connections between interpersonal relationships, self-consistency, and congruence. In addition to this indirect effect, interpersonal relationships directly affected participants' self-consistency and congruence. School- or individual-level interventions
to help adolescents search for life meaning and improve interpersonal relationships could help improve their self-consistency and congruence.

A questão social, o trabalho e o Estado: visões das elites parlamentares brasileiras
Authors: Ranincheski Sônia Maria
Published: September 2020

A questão social – como uma aporia e potencial crise de legitimidade do sistema capitalista atual – tem mobilizado o pensamento sociológico e outros campos, como o político e o econômico. O presente artigo é uma análise dos discursos das elites parlamentares brasileiras relativos a projetos de leis trabalhistas apresentados na Câmara de Deputados na emergência do capitalismo do século XX. Foram analisados 73 discursos dos deputados brasileiros e 4.490 projetos presentes em uma década de plenário. Demonstra-se que o tema da questão social, mais especificamente o do trabalho, foi entendido no campo da política parlamentar como uma dimensão relacional, com abordagens sobre o papel do Estado, o modelo econômico e as movimentações sociais.

Objective Bariatric
surgery is associated with diabetes remission and prevention of
diabetes-related complications. The scores ABCD, DiaRem, Ad-DiaRem, DiaBetter and
IMS were developed to predict short to medium-term diabetes remission after bariatric
surgery. However, they have not been tested for predicting durable remission
nor the risk of diabetes complications, nor compared with diabetes duration alone.

Research
Design and Methods We identified 363
individuals from the surgically treated group in the prospective Swedish
Obese Subjects (SOS) study with preoperative type 2 diabetes and for whom data (preoperative
age, BMI, C-peptide, HbA1c, oral diabetes medication(s), insulin use, and
diabetes duration) were available for calculation of remission scores. Partial
remission (after 2 and 10 years) was defined as blood glucose <6.1 mmol/L or
HbA1c <6.5% (48 mmol/mol) and no
diabetes medication. Information on diabetes complications (at baseline and over
15 years of follow-up) was obtained from national health registers. Discrimination
was evaluated by area under receiving operator characteristic curves (AUROCs).

Results For 2-year
diabetes remission, AUROCs were between 0.79 and 0.88 for remission scores and
0.84 for diabetes duration alone. After 10 years, the predictive ability of
scores decreased markedly (AUROCs between 0.70-0.76) and no score had higher
predictive capacity than diabetes duration alone (AUROC=0.73). For development
of microvascular and macrovascular diabetes complications over 15 years, AUROCs
for remission scores were 0.70-0.80 and 0.62-0.71, respectively, and AUROCs for
diabetes duration alone were 0.77 and 0.66, respectively.

Conclusions Remission scores and diabetes duration are good
predictors of short-term diabetes remission. However, for durable remission and
risk of complications, remission scores and diabetes duration alone have
limited predictive ability.
Pérdida del poder adquisitivo versus disminución del tiempo de trabajo socialmente necesario
Authors: González Pérez Cándido
Published: September 2020

Los trabajadores en cualquier latitud del planeta pierden poder adquisitivo con respecto a los recursos que obtienen por el pago de su salario. Existe una tendencia contraria a la baja del poder de compra, es la disminución del tiempo de trabajo socialmente necesario. Esta ley consiste en medir el tiempo que se requiere para realizar tareas tanto al interior del trabajo como en la vida cotidiana. El desarrollo tecnológico abarca todas las actividades y hace posible disminuir el esfuerzo que se requiere en cada espacio social. Ambas tendencias económicas forman parte de una ley general denominada tendencia a la baja de la tasa de ganancia. En este trabajo se exponen reflexiones teóricas al respecto originadas en autores clásicos.
