KAJIAN INTERAKSI TANAH-BAMBU DITINJAU DARI PARAMETER KUAT GESER
Authors: Waruwu Aazokhi , Waruwu Ebtanas Murni
Published: February 2022

Stabilitas lereng memerlukan perkuatan untuk meningkatkan kuat geser. Perkuatan dari material bambu dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk mengganti peran geotekstil yang biasa digunakan. Parameter kuat geser pada tanah terdiri dari kohesi dan sudut gesek, sedangkan parameter kuat geser antar muka dari dua material antara tanah dengan perkuatan terdiri dari adhesi dan sudut gesek antar muka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perilaku interaksi tanah-bambu dari berbagai tipe dilihat dari perubahan parameter kuat geser. Penelitian ini menggunakan tanah lempung dan pasir dengan perkuatan dari material bambu. Material bambu terdiri dari grid bambu uniaksial, grid bambu biaksial, dan matras bambu. Interaksi tanah-bambu diuji dengan menggunakan uji kuat geser langsung untuk mendapatkan parameter kuat geser dan kuat geser antar muka. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa parameter yang dominan untuk tanah lempung adalah kohesi, sedangkan tanah pasir memiliki parameter sudut gesek yang lebih dominan. Parameter kuat geser untuk tanah lempung terdiri dari nilai kohesi (c) sebesar 21,72 kPa dan sudut gesek (j) sebesar 7,40o, untuk parameter tanah pasir terdiri dari sudut gesek 36,44o dan tanpa kohesi. Parameter adhesi (ca) pada tanah lempung dengan grid bambu lebih kecil dari nilai kohesi, sedangkan parameter sudut gesek interface (d) pada tanah pasir dengan grid bambu lebih kecil dari parameter j. Nilai adhesi lempung-bambu ditemukan lebih rendah, karena kontak permukaan lempung-bambu hampir tidak mengakibatkan lekatan antara permukaan tanah lempung dengan bambu. Namun demikian, sudut gesek antar muka jauh lebih tinggi dari sudut gesek tanah lempung. Sudut gesek antar muka antara pasir dengan bambu didapatkan lebih kecil dari sudut gesek tanah pasir. Ini menunjukkan bahwa kekasaran pada interaksi pasir-bambu lebih rendah dari tanah pasir.

Modificação no modelo hospedeiro-parasitoide de Nicholson-Bailey espacialmente distribuído com Rede de Mapas Acoplados
Authors: Barbosa Thayná Andrade , Rodrigues Vagner Weide
Published: February 2022

Diversas dinâmicas populacionais podem ser modeladas por meio de equações a diferenças, com as quais o tempo é considerado discreto e a variável de estado é contínua. Dos modelos discretos mais conhecidos, o de Nicholson-Bailey ganha destaque por ser um dos primeiros a tentar retratar uma dinâmica hospedeiro-parasitoide por meio de equações a diferenças. Embora tenha sido utilizado como base para a formulação de modelos mais complexos, o modelo de Nicholson-Bailey, em seu formato original, apresenta equilíbrio de coexistência instável para qualquer conjunto de parâmetros. Diante disso, diversas modificações foram propostas para torná-lo mais próximo ao que se espera na natureza. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar o estudo de uma modificação no modelo de Nicholson-Bailey em duas etapas: a primeira consiste em inserir um fator de crescimento dependente da densidade para a população de hospedeiros; e a segunda, em adicionar a distribuição espacial via Rede de Mapas Acoplados no modelo já modificado. A partir da análise de estabilidade dos equilíbrios e simulações numéricas, os resultados sugerem que a partir da modificação proposta, o modelo de Nicholson-Bailey apresenta equilíbrio de coexistência estável e a inclusão do espaço não contribui para a sua desestabilização. Além disso, o modelo espacial exibe diversos padrões dependentes da escolha dos parâmetros, como ondas, espirais e estruturas cristalinas.
Temperature-dependent optical properties of ε-Ga2O3 thin films
Authors: Makino Takayuki , Yusa Subaru , Oka Daichi , Fukumura Tomoteru
Published: February 2022

We determined the complex dielectric functions of ε-Ga2O3 using optical transmittance and reflectance spectroscopies at temperatures from 10 K to room temperature. The measured dielectric-function spectra reveal distinct structures at bandgap energy. We fitted a model dielectric function based on the electronic energy-band structure to these experimental data. We analyzed the temperature dependence of the bandgap with a model based on phonon dispersion effects. One could explain it in terms of phonon-related parameters such as the optical phonon temperature. We compare phonon-related properties of ε-Ga2O3 with those of a large variety of element and binary semiconductors.

Published: February 2022

The Gibbs partition function is an important quantity in describing statistical properties of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. There are several proposals to calculate the partition functions on near-term quantum computers. However, the existing schemes require many copies of the Gibbs states to perform an extrapolation for the calculation of the partition function, which could be costly performed on the near-term quantum computers. We propose a scheme to calculate the Gibbs function with the imaginary time evolution. After preparing Gibbs states with different temperatures by using the imaginary time evolution, we measure the overlap between them on a quantum circuit, which allows us to calculate the Gibbs partition function. Our scheme requires only 2N qubits to calculate the Gibbs function of N qubits.

MODERN ASPECTS OF CONVERGENCE THEORY
Authors: KHARITONASHVILI JEMAL
Published: February 2022

In the 50s and 60s of the twentieth century, when a proper parity was established in the economic rivalry between the capitalist and socialist systems, the economists and sociologists in the bourgeois reformist current formulated the theory of convergence (“convergence” comes from Latin convergere - from con- ‘together’ + vergere - ‘incline’).
Convergence implies to merge, to bring two different socio-economic systems (capitalism and communism) together and to create a common techno-industrial system. Convergence involves similarity and integration of some characteristic features of different social and political systems and their structures, which gradually become similar and by means of interrelationship, cooperation and mutual understanding overcome the obstacles and acquire common character and become especially active in the conditions of scientific and technical development, internationalization and globalization until they create a new type, mixed, i.e. hybrid society, which includes the positive features of both capitalism and socialism. The global problems common to all mankind must be solved according to the above said.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON PUBLIC SERVICE SUPPLY (IN THE CONTEXT OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT)
Authors: RUSADZE NANA , ZAKARADZE EKATERINA , IPSHIRADZE AZA
Published: February 2022

The last two years in the history of mankind can be characterized as the beginning of a nation of difficulties caused by the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic has broken all borders (political, legal, state) and overcoming the transboundary global crisis has necessitated the participation of all levels of government and the private sector. The pandemic, along with human health, attacks the socio-economic sphere and poses obvious threats of economic depression, rising unemployment and poverty, limited social contacts, and many other negative events. This threat affects the
state and municipal management and, consequently, the public services provided by them. Unfortunately, unlike trade and education, these types of services are largely impossible to digitize. In the current situation, the attention of citizens and business representatives is drawn to the actions of the state, as its activities and management skills have acquired much more function. Meeting the needs of citizens in a pandemic requires the use of approaches based on new technologies, new forms of interaction and innovative methods of work. The economic sustainability of public administration occupies an important place in public policy as a determinant of public sector modernization, support, optimization of functioning, and improvement of public services. This acquired a special load during the crisis caused by the coronapandemic.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic dictates that it is necessary to develop new approaches to state intervention and public service delivery systems in all areas of public life in times of crisis in order to respond optimally to the needs of citizens
STATE EMPLOYMENT POLICY IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC CRISIS IN GEORGIA
Authors: TKEMALADZE IRMA
Published: February 2022

The crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has not only economic character, it is multifaceted, so ways to tackle the problem are more complex and ambiguous. Measures to protect the health of the population often comes into conflict with economic recovery measures, which raises the issue of their proper balancing. At the same time, financial, moral and material support should be provided to the vulnerable sections of the society, at the same time, the party creating the demand for labor should be encouraged to maintain jobs. Recovering the economy requires a comprehensive and consistent strategy based on the interests of each citizen. It is important to have an active social dialogue between employers 'and
entrepreneurs' organizations and employees. These measures are relatively easy to implement for countries with high incomes and developed economies, while for low-income countries, the use of fiscal and monetary policy instruments is limited and therefore becomes a more difficult process. In such a case, it is recommended to differentiate the directions of the state employment policy according to the priority. The first line of action in the conditions of the covid-19 pandemic should be to stop the growth of poverty caused by declining employment income from reduced employment. As mentioned above, the government's anti-crisis plan even provides for passive policy measures and appropriate funding. However, it should be noted that the simplification of bureaucratic procedures related to the issuance and administration of targeted benefits would also be desirable. The activation of passive policy has accelerated the "formalization" of informal employees, it is recommended to continue working in this direction through a different prism to prevent the growth of precariate in the labor
market. It is advisable to increase the number of jobs in the formal sector, to adequately remunerate the qualifications and energy expended, to create normal working conditions and to provide real protection of the labor rights of the employees. It
is recommended to finance various projects and startups to promote self-employment and motivate the unemployed people. An important measure is the systematic research of labor market needs, which creates a clear picture of the requirements in
the field of employment in the policy-making process and is a vector in the planning of training relevant qualified personnel. The latter will help to eliminate the most important problems of the Georgian labor market - the imbalance between labor demand and supply
APPLE PRODUCTION INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN GEORGIA AND GLOBAL CONTEXT

Published: February 2022

The main objective of the presented paper is to identify investment opportunities in the apple value chain and also to evaluate the specific apple project using the state programs/projects. The methodological part provides a financial evaluation
of a specific business project, taking into account state funding programs/projects. Furthermore, general investment opportunities of apples are analyzed in the paper. In addition, in order to study the investment potential, the investment climate of Georgia
and Georgia’s international ratings are discussed. A brief description and analysis of various state support projects are also provided. Additionally, an overview of local apples and the world market is given. Due to the climate conditions and soil types of Georgia, the production of intensive apple varieties has a great potential in
the country. Promoting the cultivation of intensive apple orchards through the use of various state supporting programs/projects and full compliance with apple production technologies, Georgia will have potential to increase the average apple yield per
hectare. It is important for Georgia to use the existing free trade relations with other countries and to diversify the apple export market, which will further increase its competitiveness. Based on the financial evaluation, key performance indicators are positive and beneficial for the investors, which should give the motivation to the investors to invest in the apple value chain. In the field of agriculture, the continuation of the implementation of various state co-financing projects/programs and their development will give additional motivation to local and foreign investors, which will further increase the competitiveness of Georgian apple value chain.

The Exit Myth: Family Law, Gender Roles, and Changing Attitudes toward Female Victims of Domestic Violence
Authors: Ramsey Carolyn
Published: February 2022

This Article presents a hypothesis suggesting how and why the criminal justice response to domestic violence changed, over the course of the twentieth century, from sympathy for abused women and a surprising degree of state intervention in intimate relationships to the apathy and discrimination that the battered women' movement exposed. The riddle of declining public sympathy for female victims ofintimate-partner violence can only be solved by looking beyond the criminal law to the social and legal changes that created the Exit Myth. While the situation that gave rise to the battered womens movement in the 1970s is often presumed to be part ofa long history of state tolerance or even approval of violence against women, the real history is actually much more complicated. Indeed, at least until 1930, wife beaters were routinely brought to criminal court and fined or sentenced to a jail term. Whereas wife killers often faced life imprisonment or even the death penalty, juries acquitted many women who used lethal violence against their abusive husbands. What happened between the 1920s and the later decades of the twentieth century that changed how the public and the criminal justice system responded to domestic violence? This Article offers the following hypothesis: As women gained the vote and sought easy access to divorce, and as mothers of minor children began to compete for jobs formerly held exclusively by men, society and the criminal justice system less often saw abused wives as frail beings who needed protection against their violent husbands. Changes in employment opportunities, family and property law, and psychosocial understandings of intimate relationships combined to create a false sense of the ease with which women could exit an abusive marriage. This overestimation ofwomen ' ability to leave, paired with the new view that women did not need to be protected in paternalistic ways, contributed to waning sympathy for female victims of intimate-partner violence. In the second half of the twentieth century, such women were presumed-often unfairly and incorrectly-to be capable of safely leaving their relationships and supporting themselves. As gender roles changed to allow greater female autonomy, the criminal justice response may have become more punitive and less sympathetic toward women trapped in violent intimate relationships.
Surrender and Subordination: Birth Mothers and Adoption Law Reform
Authors: Samuels Elizabeth
Published: February 2022

For more than thirty years, adoption law reform advocates have been seeking to restore for adult adoptees the right to access their original birth certificates, a right that was lost in all but two states between the late 1930s and 1990. The advocates have faced strong opposition and have succeeded only in recent years and only in eight states. Among the most vigorous advocates for access are birth mothers who surrendered their children during a time it was believed that adoption would relieve unmarried women of shame and restore them to a respectable life. The birth mother advocates say that when they surrendered their children, their wishes were subordinated and their voices silenced. They say they want to be heard now as they raise their voices in support of adult adoptees' rights to information in government records about their birth mothers' original identities. Opponents of restoring access, in "women-protective rhetoric" reminiscent of recent anti-abortion efforts, argue that access would harm birth mothers, violating their rights and bringing shame anew through unwanted exposure of out-of-wedlock births. Opponents say they must speak for birth mothers who cannot come forward to speak for themselves. Birth mother advocates respond that the impetus historically for closing records was to protect adoptive families from public scrutiny and from interference by birth parents, rather than to protect birth mothers from being identified in the future by their children. They maintain that birth mothers did not choose and were not legally guaranteed lifelong anonymity. They point out that when laws that have restored access have been challenged, courts have found neither statutory guarantees of nor constitutional rights to, anonymity. They also offer evidence that an overwhelming majority of birth mothers are open to contact with their now grown children. As a means of assessing these competing claims, this article analyzes the provisions in a collection of birth mother surrender documents assembled by the author-seventy-five mid-twentieth century documents executed in twenty-six different states. In order to establish the significance of the surrender document provisions with respect to these claims, the article first relates depictions by birth mothers of a journey from silence to legislative advocacy. The article then examines the conflicting claims about birth mothers that pervade legislative contests over adult adoptee access to original birth certificates. Finally, the article analyzes the provisions of the surrender documents. The analysis of the provisions definitively supports birth mother advocates' reports that women were neither offered a choice of nor guaranteed lifelong anonymity. Their opponents' contentions to the contrary, whether motivated by concern for birth mothers or other interests, reinscribe an earlier culture of shame and secrecy, subordinating women own wishes and silencing their newly raised voices.
Gender-Conscious Confrontation: The Accuser-Obligation Approach Revisited
Authors: El-Zein Michael
Published: February 2022

The Supreme Court’s recent Confrontation Clause decisions have had a dramatic effect on domestic violence prosecution throughout the United States, sparking debate about possible solutions to an increasingly difficult trial process for prosecutors and the survivors they represent. In this Note, I revisit and reinterpret the suggestion by Professor Sherman J. Clark in his article, An Accuser-Obligation Approach to the Confrontation Clause,1 that we should view the Confrontation Clause primarily as an obligation of the accuser rather than a right of the accused. Specifically, I reevaluate Clark’s proposition using a gendered lens, ultimately suggesting a novel solution to the problem of the “victimless” domestic violence prosecution that would extend beyond the domestic violence context. An approach that views the Confrontation Clause as an accuser’s obligation, and focuses on the values of honor, courage, and respect, while simultaneously taking a gender-conscious approach in defining those values, will produce a body of jurisprudence that can satisfy the courts, academics, and advocates alike.
Title IX and Social Media: Going Beyond the Law
Authors: Suran Emily
Published: February 2022

The U.S. Department of Education is currently investigating over eighty colleges and universities for civil rights violations under Title IX. From a punitive standpoint, these investigations likely will have minimal impact. Indeed, since the Alexander v. Yale plaintiffs first conceived of Title IX in a sexual harassment context, the nondiscriminatory principles of Title IX have proven disappointingly difficult to enforce. However, in today’s world of grassroots social activism, Title IX has taken on a new, extralegal import. Title IX has become a rallying cry for college activists and survivors. Despite (or perhaps because of) its limitations as a law, it has prompted an unprecedented shift in the cultural landscape. In this Note, I will examine the evolution of Title IX as a means to combat sexual harassment and sexual assault on college campuses.
Liberating Sexual Harassment Law
Authors: Yuille Lua
Published: February 2022

Sexual harassment law and the proposed solutions to that paradigm’s deficiencies teach a disheartening and peculiar lesson to women and gender performance minorities: “You may be disadvantaged at work because of your gender or your gender performance nonconformity. Discrimination against you is okay.” This albatross has inexplicably burdened sexual harassment law for the more than thirty-five years since it emerged as a redressable form of unlawful discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This Article coherently explains the reason for it. It makes a simple claim: Sexual harassment law has failed to eradicate workplace gender discrimination, not because that goal is beyond its capacity, as is frequently claimed, but because it is beyond its scope. Sexual harassment law might have changed workplace relations (for the better), but it has not made sexual harassment an anomaly because it was not meant to do so. To accomplish its task, the Article reframes the intractability of problems within the sexual harassment paradigm by viewing the law as an educative process structured by a clear curriculum. Drawing together educational literature and sexual harassment discourse, it (1) maps how sexual harassment law conforms to the essential elements of the dominant curriculum model; (2) shows how existing critiques function within that model; and (3) proposes an alternative critique of sexual harassment law that pinpoints the main deficiency of sexual harassment in its conformity to a educational model that serves to maintain the status quo and inhibit, rather than promote, liberatory social change. On this foundation, the Article argues that the challenge is to create a “dialogical” method for law in which the beneficiaries of sexual harassment law are empowered to determine what behaviors serve to entrench their marginalization and, thereby, define their world and the change they want to see in it. Through its reframing of sexual harassment law, this Article liberates sexual harassment law from its reified limitations, creating space for a legal revolution that will liberate workers.
Removing Camouflaged Barriers to Equality: Overcoming Systemic Sexual Assault and Harassment at the Military Academies
Authors: Weiant Rebecca
Published: February 2022

The Education Amendments of 1972 introduced requirements to protect female students from discriminatory policies at post-secondary institutions. A portion of those amendments, commonly known as Title IX, require that no students be subjected to discrimination based on their sex by any educational institution or activity receiving federal financial assistance. An exemption under § 1681(a)(4), however, explicitly prohibits application of Title IX to any educational institution whose primary purpose is to train individuals for military service or the merchant marine. Although those students are still subject to stringent conduct standards, the service academies themselves are tethered to sex discrimination policies only by their goodwill, reputation, and the boundaries of the Constitution. Answering only to the Department of Defense (or Transportation, in the case of the United States Merchant Marine Academy) does not hold these institutions accountable to their students or to the American public. The academies’ attempts at combatting this widespread problem have been ineffective, and they continue to perpetuate a culture of sexual violence. This Note proposes the removal of exemption language from Title IX, or, alternatively, insists that the academies comply with mandatory reporting requirements under the Clery Act.
Centering Women in Prisoners' Rights Litigation
Authors: Baylor Amber
Published: February 2022

This Article consciously employs both a dignity rights-based framing and methodology. Dignity rights are those rights that are based on the Kantian assertion of “inalienable human worth.”29 This framework for defining rights spans across a number of disciplines, including medicine and human rights law.30 Disciplinary sanctions like solitary confinement or forced medication might be described as anathema to human dignity because of their degrading effect on an individual’s emotional and social well-being.

This Article relies on first-person oral histories where possible. Bioethics scholar Claire Hooker argues that including narratives in work on dignity rights “is both a moral and an aesthetic project.” Using oral histories in this way—requesting, offering, and receiving narrative—is important for two reasons. First, it is crucial for developing a shared understanding of the context surrounding the event, such as the position, setting, and social order. First-person narratives reveal the human experience behind legal rules. Secondly, the methodology is significant to dignity rights scholarship since it respects and augments the idea of a right to dignity by recognizing that the people who are primarily affected by an event are the people best informed about the dynamics of the harm they have endured. The precise influences that lead an individual to articulate her rights cannot be conveyed through court records or opinions. That process occurs before, beside, and in the aftermath of litigation. Traditional forms of scholarship—those based on highly bureaucratic processes such as court decisions and filings—may even be considered dignity-violative. For women of color or poor women, those indignities are often rendered invisible by supposed “neutral” applications of law and summarization of harms in court decisions. In this way, marginalizing individual narratives can be dignity-corrosive. To examine the role of women in the development of prisoners’ rights litigation, I conducted oral history interviews with three individuals involved in the lawsuits from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in the 1970s.
Making connections: exploring residents' perspectives on a virtual World Café as a novel approach for teaching Indigenous health issues
Authors: Laine-Gossin Joanne , DeKoven Samuel , Bordman Risa
Published: February 2022

Implication statement
World Café is a methodology where small groups of participants rotate around tables for spirited conversations. It creates an environment for sharing and exchange.  Learning about Indigenous healthcare is ideally suited to an intimate discussion format. Adapting the World Café to a virtual platform allowed us to connect disparate learners, encourage peer-to-peer learning, and address inequities in curriculum exposure to different patient groups. Owing to the safe environment, there can be surprising findings too.  In our case, participants identified unconscious biases and recognized the program as a new learning opportunity. Try it and see!
Solidarity in Times of Crisis
Authors: Boutabia Amina
Published: February 2022

The concept of solidarity is certainly one of the most challenging among the concepts forming the constellation of social and political thought. Not only because of its use in a variety of discourses, but also because it is one of the most influential concepts despite the fact that it is still undertheorized. At the heart of the complexity is the ambiguity between the normative and descriptive usages of the concept. It seems that this ambiguity is clearly reflected in this time of Covid-19 pandemic which has revealed that both individuals and nations can demonstrate both solidary and anti-solidary actions simultaneously. This paper is an attempt to understand these contradictory conducts in the light of the history and development of the concept. Thus, the following questions are addressed: First, at a macro level, why do many countries behave towards each other in an anti-solidary manner? Second, why do individuals, despite their denomination and learning show a lack of solidarity towards the most unfortunate people? Solidarity ethics appears in religious, philosophical, and humanitarian discourses, so, what makes these discourses extremely ineffective in times when solidarity is most needed?

Szczęśliwy traf (z ang. serendipity?), oznacza zjawisko zbiegu okoliczności prowadzące do niespodziewanych odkryć, które może być również związane z umiejętnością wyciągania wartościowych wniosków z pozornie nieistotnych wyników. Odkrycie penicyliny G mogłoby nie mieć miejsca, gdyby nie warunki pogodowe w Wielkiej Brytanii w trakcie urlopu Alexandra Fleminga w 1928 roku, podczas gdy benzodiazepiny, jedną z najważniejszych grup leków anksjolitycznych, pośrednio można zawdzięczać wyczerpaniu zapasu czystego szkła w laboratorium Leona Sternbacha. Odkrycie przeciwzakrzepowej warfaryny nie miałoby miejsca, gdyby nie epidemia bydła oraz nieudana próba samobójcza młodego rekruta. Pomyłka w aptecznej dostawie przyczyniła się do późniejszego wprowadzenia do lecznictwa paracetamolu, a błędna teoria wpływu pola elektrycznego na podziały komórkowe zaowocowała stworzeniem przeciwnowotworowych leków alkilujących, takich jak cis-platyna. Niniejsza praca opisuje historię leków, których odkrycie zawdzięcza się przypadkowym zbiegom okoliczności.
Czy dimery receptorów sprzężonych z białkami G (GPCRs) mogą stanowić nowy cel terapeutyczny ?
Authors: Faron-Górecka Agata , Korlatowicz Agata , Pabian Paulina , Niemczyk Monika , Solich Joanna , Dziedzicka-Wasylewska Marta
Published: February 2022

Receptory sprzężone z białkami G (ang. G protein-coupled receptors, GPCRs) są intensywnie badane ze względu na ich różnorodność oraz ich ważną rolę w fizjologii człowieka, w patomechanizmie chorób, a tym samym w farmakoterapii. Najnowsze dane wskazują, że około 34% leków działa właśnie poprzez GPCRs.
Tradycyjne spojrzenie na GPCRs wskazywało, że działają one jako pojedyncze białka. Wykazano także, że receptory te mogą tworzyć homo- i hetero-dimery oraz mozaiki receptorów składające się z trzech lub więcej monomerów. Stosunkowo niewiele wiadomo o funkcjonowaniu tych złożonych układów, wykazano jednak, że oligomeryzacja GPCRs wywiera znaczący wpływ na fizjologię i funkcję receptora, w konsekwencji prowadząc do dywersyfikacji ich sygnalizacji. Wydaje się więc, że zjawisko dimeryzacji może stanowić nowe cele terapeutyczne.
Rola diety i stylu życia w leczeniu insulinooporności
Authors: Nowosad Karolina
Published: February 2022

Insulinooporność to stan zmniejszonej odpowiedzi biologicznej tkanek na insulinę. Obserwowany obecnie wzrost występowania insulinooporności spowodowany jest głównie nieprawidłowym stylem życia, niezdrową dietą z dużą podażą kalorii i stresem. Niekontrolowana insulinooporność może prowadzić do zwiększenia ryzyka zachorowania na cukrzycę typu 2, choroby układu krążenia, chorobę Alzheimera i depresji. Jednym z potencjalnie modyfikowalnych czynników ryzyka insulinooporności jest dieta. Wprowadzenie diety o niskim indeksie glikemicznym pomaga w utrzymaniu prawidłowego stężenia glukozy i insuliny we krwi. Dodatkowo, wprowadzenie aktywności fizycznej, redukcja stresu i eliminacja używek wpływają korzystnie na kontrolę glikemii.

Published: February 2022

El quiste dermoide es una lesión congénita poco frecuente, secundario a regresión incompleta de tejido ectodérmico. Su incidencia es de 1/20,000 – 40,000 nacidos vivos. Debe realizarse una resección quirúrgica oportuna para prevenir compromiso intracraneal y/o complicaciones. El estudio imagenológico determina su extensión. Se han recomendado diferentes enfoques quirúrgicos, todos deben cumplir con los 4 principios de Pollock. El siguiente estudio presenta el caso de un paciente pediátrico, 9 meses de edad, con un quiste dermoide en base del cráneo asociado a un trayecto fistuloso a punta nasal. La resonancia magnética nuclear contrastada evidenció una masa quística en región anterior a la crista galli comunicada con tracto fistuloso a la punta nasal. Fue llevado a cirugía para resección del quiste mediante rinoplastia externa combinada con abordaje endoscópico transnasal con resultados funcionales y estéticos satisfactorios, sin recurrencia. Se evidenció una fístula de líquido cefaloraquídeo intraoperatoria corregida en el mismo tiempo quirúrgico.
Kako prepoznati bosanski, crnogorski, hrvatski i srpski standardni jezik? = How to Recognize Bosnian, Montenegrin, Croatian and Serbian Standard Language?
Authors: Karavdić Zenaida
Published: February 2022

Bosanski, crnogorski, hrvatski i srpski standardni jezik za osnovicu imaju štokavsko narječje i stoga imaju dosta sličnosti. Međutim, kako se prostiru na različitim teritorijama, a i historija razvoja im je različita, to se u njima mogu pronaći i znatne razlike. U svim tim sličnostima i razlikama, postoje određena pravopisna, gramatička, tvorbena pravila, kao i leksika po kojima se može prepoznati o kojem je standardnom jeziku riječ. Ovaj tekst namijenjen je bibliotekarima kao pomoć pri određi-vanju kojem standardu određeni tekst pripada i sadrži najvažnija pravila i leksiku po kojima se to može utvrditi. = The Bosnian, Montenegrin, Croatian and Serbian standard language as their base have Štokavian dialect and therefore have a lot of similarities. However, as they spread in different territories, and the history of their development is differ-ent, one can also find significant differences. In all these similarities and differences, there are certain spelling, gram-matical, constructive rules, as well as lexicon, that can be used to identify one of these four standard language. The intention of this text is to help librarians with identification of standard language of some text and contains the most important rules and lexicon that can be used in that purpose.
Every Orientation of a $4$-Chromatic Graph has a Non-Bipartite Acyclic Subgraph
Authors: Shapira Asaf
Published: February 2022

Let $f(n)$ denote the smallest integer such that every directed graph with chromatic number larger than $f(n)$ contains an acyclic subgraph with chromatic number larger than $n$. The problem of bounding this function was introduced by Addario-Berry et al., who noted that $f(n) \leqslant n^2$. The only improvement over this bound was obtained by Nassar and Yuster, who proved that $f(2)=3$ using a deep theorem of Thomassen. Yuster asked if this result can be proved using elementary methods. In this short note we provide such a proof.

Untersuchung zur axialen Tragfähigkeit selbstschneidender Gewindeeinsätze/Studies to the axial load capacity of selftapping thread inserts
Authors: Denkert Christian , Ganschow Jörg , Dörre Maik , Glienke Ralf , Flügge Wilko
Published: February 2022

Inhalt Dieser Beitrag behandelt die systematische experimentelle Untersuchung zur axialen Tragfähigkeit selbstschneidender Gewindeeinsätze in den Abmessungen M20 und M24 für den Einsatz in Aluminiumlegierungen. Um die volle Tragfähigkeit geschraubter Verbindungen nach dem Konstruktionsprinzip der abgestimmten Tragfähigkeit nutzen zu können, sind diese Kenntnisse unerlässlich. Anhand axialer Zugversuche wird der Einfluss der Konstruktionsparameter Randabstand, Einschraubtiefe, Durchgangslochdurchmesser sowie der Werkstofffestigkeit abgeleitet. Neben dem Vergleich der Abstreiftragfähigkeit konventionell geschnittener Gewinde, wird zudem überprüft, ob eine Übertragung der von Alexander gewählten Theorie der Scherzylinder auch für den Gewindeeingriff zwischen selbstschneidendem Gewindeeinsatz und der Aluminiumlegierung zielführend ist. Dies betrifft einerseits eine Prognose der sich einstellenden Versagensform als auch die rechnerische Ermittlung der Abstreiftragfähigkeit. Abschließend wird festgestellt, dass eine Anwendung der Scherzylindertheorie in bestimmten Abmessungsbereichen eine zuverlässige rechnerische Abschätzung erlaubt.
