The Effects of the Natural Components on the Ageing of the Italian Population
Authors: Sacco Giuseppina , Sacco Pietro
Published: February 2018

The most remarkable demographic changes that have been happening in our society, and causing considerable social effects, are the significant decrease of fecundity and the increase of average life expectancy at birth. The combined effect of these factors causes the ageing of population, thus representing the theoretical basis of the phenomenon under study in this essay. We will analyse the evolution of fecundity in Italy and in Italian single regions , thus highlighting the change of its intensity over the years. Moreover, we will focus on the analysis of average life expectancy at birth by verifying both its time trend and how it changes because of the variations of mortality by age. Thanks to a suitable method, detailed data of ISTAT and EUROSTAT will be used to show the interesting findings of the fecundity geography and variations of mortality by age. Nowadays, compared to just over twenty years ago, we have been characterized a reversal of the fecundity geography. Furthermore, a new increase of life expectancy at birth a further increase has been achieved.
Determinants Analysis of Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
Authors: Motii Nadia , Chati Adam
Published: February 2018

The purpose of this work is to identify the most representative components and dimensions of the Organizational Citizenship Behaviors within the Moroccan context. The first phase of this paper lies on a theoretical framework defining the individual performance concept, and then we will emphasize the different Organizational Citizenship Behaviors' theories. The method involves an exploratory qualitative inquiry based on directive interviews with executives working in the private companies located in the region of Rabat. The present study reassessed the finding of the existing theories in a purposive sample and in a different context. By identifying the different components of the contextual performance within the Moroccan context we can link several organizational behaviors in the same model, which will pave the way to a confirmatory study. This will allow for more organizationnal consideration of contextual performance and may direct future research on performance management.
English Pronunciation Errors Made by Saudi Students
Authors: Ababneh Islam
Published: February 2018

Arabs often pronounce many English words wrongly which leads to spelling and writing errors. This paper deals with English pronunciation errors made by two groups of native Saudi Arab speakers. The students in the first group are of English major while the students in the second group are of Arabic major. Generally, Arabic speakers use direct transfer and interference from Arabic in addition to stress shifts in their pronunciation that are not recognized stress patterns in English. Also, there are some sounds in English that have no equivalence in Arabic, which leads to vowel and consonant errors. This study identifies the pronunciation errors made by Saudi students in pronouncing words of problematic nature to Arabs in general. The students in both groups made vowel insertion and confusion, orthography, stress, intonation, errors; but the more trained students in group 1 made less errors than the students in group 2.

Published: February 2018

In this study, 

 the increase in water-user

revenues with transition to closed-piped system was calculated and the how much

of the transition cost can be met with this increase in association and

water-user revenues were assessed. Truva Irrigation Association was used as the

study material. Based on 2009 data, the association was using open-canal irrigation

scheme with irrigation efficiency of 54%, irrigation ratio of 92%, amount of

water applied to per unit area of 9 343 m3/ha and accrued water fee

of 171 839 $. Assuming a transition to closed-piped system and an irrigation

efficiency of 90%, irrigation ratio would increase to 100%, amount of water

applied to per unit area will decrease to 5 081 m3/ha and accrued

water fee will increase to 187 050 $. A water saving of 4 624 502 m3

will also be possible with this transition. Considering the cost of transition

to closed-piped system as 5 000 $/ha, it was calculated that the association

could reimburse this transition cost in 42 years in case it used all the

revenues for reimbursement of transition costs.

Cold and Heat Stress Diversely Alters Both Cauliflower Respiration and Distinct Mitochondrial Proteins Including OXPHOS Components and Matrix Enzymes
Authors: Rurek Michał , Czołpińska Magdalena , Pawłowski Tomasz Andrzej , Krzesiński Włodzimierz , Spiżewski Tomasz
Published: February 2018

Complex proteomic and physiological approaches to study cold and heat stress responses in plant mitochondria are still limited. Variations in the mitochondrial proteome of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) curds after cold and heat and after stress recovery were assayed by 2D PAGE in relation to respiratory parameters. Quantitative analysis of the mitochondrial proteome revealed numerous stress-affected protein spots. In cold alternative oxidase isoforms were extensively upregulated; major downregulations in the level of photorespiratory enzymes, porine isoforms, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and some low-abundant proteins were observed. On the contrary, distinct proteins, including carbohydrate metabolism enzymes, heat-shock proteins, translation, protein import, and OXPHOS components were involved in heat response and recovery. Few metabolic regulations were suggested. Cauliflower plants appeared less susceptible to heat; closed stomata in heat stress resulted in moderate photosynthetic, but only minor respiratory impairments, however photosystem II performance was unaffected. Decreased photorespiration corresponded with proteomic alterations in cold. Our results show that cold and heat stress not only operate in diverse mode (exemplified by cold-specific accumulation of some heat shock proteins), but exert some associations on molecular and physiological levels. This implies more complex model of action of investigated stresses on plant mitochondria.
Construction of Fullerenes and Pogorelov Polytopes with 5-, 6- and One 7-Gonal Face
Authors: Erokhovets Nikolai
Published: February 2018

A Pogorelov polytope is a combinatorial simple 3-polytope realizable in the Lobachevsky (hyperbolic) space as a bounded right-angled polytope. It has no 3- and 4-gons and may have any prescribed numbers of k-gons, k ≥ 7. Any polytope with only 5-, 6- and at most one 7-gon is Pogorelov. For any other prescribed numbers of k-gons, k ≥ 7, we give an explicit construction of a Pogorelov and a non-Pogorelov polytopes. Any Pogorelov polytope different from Löbel polytopes can be constructed from the 5- or the 6-barrel by cuttings off pairs of adjacent edges and connected sums with the 5-barrel along a 5-gon with the intermediate polytopes being Pogorelov. For fullerenes there is a stronger result. Any fullerene different from the 5-barrel and the (5, 0)-nanotubes can be constructed by only cuttings off adjacent edges from the 6-barrel with all the intermediate polytopes having 5-, 6- and at most one additional 7-gon adjacent to a 5-gon. This result can not be literally extended to the latter class of polytopes. We prove that it becomes valid if we additionally allow connected sums with the 5-barrel and 3 new operations, which are compositions of cuttings off adjacent edges. We generalize this result to the case when the 7-gon may be isolated from 5-gons.

Published: February 2018

Penguasaan bahasa Arab sangat penting untuk memahami ajaran Islam. Umat Islam membentuk satu masyarakat atas dasar kesamaan keyakinan, terlepas dari perbedaan bahasa, budaya, dan ras mereka. Masyarakat Muslim mendasarkan keyakinan kepada Allah yang Maha Esa dan juga wahyu terakhir, yaitu Al-Qur’an dalam bahasa Arab sebagai pedoman bagi umat manusia. Bahasa Arab berfungsi sebagai bahasa pemersatu umat Muslim. Oleh karena itu, mempelajari dan mengajarkan bahasa Arab sangat penting bagi umat Islam. Di Indonesia, selain menggunakan tulisan dan bahasa Arab, pada masa silam banyak orang menggunakan huruf Jawi. Misalnya, di Lombok masih dapat ditemukan buku-buku keislaman yang ditulis dengan huruf Jawi dan dalam bahasa Melayu. Sayangnya, huruf Jawi ini tidak lagi diajarkan kepada generasi muda. Artikel ini membahas tentang pentingnya memperkenalkan kembali huruf Jawi kepada generasi muda dengan menggunakan metode Total Physical Response (TPR). إن اتقان اللغة العربية مهم لفهم التعاليم الإسلامية. كوّنت الأمة الإسلامية مجتمعا واحدا على أساس وحدة العقيدة، وعلى اختلاف اللغات والثقافات والجنسيات. يعتقد المسلمون بالإيمان بالله وحده والوحي الأخير – القرآن الكريم – المكتوب باللغة العربية المنزّل منذ 1400 سنة وهو هدى للناس. لذا فإن اللغة العربية أصبحت لغة موحّدة للمسلمين. لذا فإن تعلّم اللغة العربية وتعليمها مهمان للمسلمين. وإتقان اللغة العربية يستجلب المنافع الاقتصادية، لأن المتقنين بها يمكن أن يعملوا في الدول الغنية  (الشرق الأوسط) مثل السعودية ودولة الإمارات المتّحدة. وعلى الأخص في إندونيسيا، بجانب استخدام الحروف العربية، قديما تُستخدم كذلك الحروف الجاوية. والمثال على ذلك، توجد في لومبوك الكتب الإسلامية مكتوبة بالحروف الجاوية وباللغة المالوية .ومع الأسف فإن هذه الحروف الجوية لا تُعلّم للشبان الإندونيسيين. لذلك، فإن هذه المقالة تبحث في إعادة التعريف بالحروف الجاوية وتطبيق طريقة  (Total Physical Response (TPR في تعليم اللغة العربية.

Multi-stage parameter-constraining inverse transient analysis for pipeline condition assessment
Authors: Zhang Chi , Zecchin Aaron C. , Lambert Martin F. , Gong Jinzhe , Simpson Angus R.
Published: February 2018

Fault detection in water distribution systems is of critical importance for water authorities to maintain pipeline assets effectively. This paper develops an improved inverse transient analysis (ITA) method for the condition assessment of water transmission pipelines. For long transmission pipelines ITA approaches involve models using hundreds of discretized pipe reaches (therefore hundreds of model parameters). As such, these methods struggle to accurately and uniquely determine the many parameter values, despite achieving a very good fit between the model predictions and measured pressure responses. In order to improve the parameter estimation accuracy of ITA applied to these high dimensional problems, a multi-stage parameter-constraining ITA approach for pipeline condition assessment is proposed. The proposed algorithm involves the staged constraining of the parameter search-space to focus the inverse analysis on pipeline sections that have a higher likelihood of being in an anomalous state. The proposed method is verified by numerical simulations, where the results confirm that the parameters estimated by the proposed method are more accurate than the conventional ITA. The proposed method is also verified by a field case study. Results show that anomalies detected by the proposed methods are generally consistent with anomalies detected by ultrasonic measurement of pipe wall thickness.

Longitudinal Evaluation of Radiopacity of Resin Composites: Influence of Photoactivation and Accelerated Photoaging
Authors: Cruz AD , Costa IAM , Calazans FS , Aguiar MF , Barceleiro MO
Published: February 2018

This study aimed to assess longitudinally the radiopacity of resin composites under the influence of photoactivation and photoaging processes. Ten specimens (1 mm thick and 4 mm in diameter) of three different microhybrid resin composites, Filtek Z250 XT (R1), TPH 3 Spectrum (R2), and Opallis (R3), were prepared for this study. For longitudinal assessment of radiopacity, radiographic images were obtained five times. The first time (T1), the specimens were not photoactivated; the second time (T2), the specimens were photoactivated; and the next three times, photoaging was carried out, with images obtained at 24 hours (T3), 48 hours (T4), and 72 hours (T5) after this process. The photoaging was conducted using LED light (700 lumens, 9 W, 6400 k) under controlled environmental conditions at 37°C (±1°C) and 65% (±5%) relative humidity. The digital system DIGORA Optime was used. The digital images were measured using the histogram function, and then the pixel intensity values were converted into mmAl (the standard unit of radiopacity) using a linear regression function, with minimal adjustment of R2 ≥ 0.9. Data in mmAl were statistically analyzed using an analysis of variance (α=0.05). R2 resin composite showed higher values of radiopacity, R1 resin composite showed intermediate values, and R3 resin composite showed lower values. Only at T1 did the higher radiopacity of R2 composite differ significantly from other groups (p = 0.0000). After application of treatments (photoactivation and photoaging), all radiopacity values were similar (p-values to T2=0.0507, T3=0.0536, T4=0.0502, T5=0.0501) due to consecutive increase of radiopacity of R1 and R3 composites from T2. Photoactivation and photoaging processes influenced the radiopacity, but changes occurring in the degree of radiopacity were dependent on the composition and chemical characteristics of each composite used.

Introdução: Entender como os estímulos acústicos são processados ao longo da via auditiva é fundamental para compreender os processos que subjazem à comunicação humana. A variável tempo influencia na compreensão da fala, pois está relacionada à habilidade auditiva de resolução temporal. O tempo mínimo percebido na mudança do som é conhecido como limiar de resolução temporal, e existem dois testes disponíveis para uso clínico: Randon Gap Detection Test (RGDT) e Gaps-In-Noise (GIN). Objetivo: Verificar o desempenho de crianças normo-ouvintes, sem queixa de processamento auditivo, nos testes RGDT e GIN e sugerir um deles para avaliar essa população. Método: Participaram do estudo 33 crianças sem queixa de alteração do processamento auditivo, 17 do sexo feminino e 16 do sexo masculino, com idade entre sete e dez anos e 11 meses e limiares auditivos dentro da normalidade, bilateralmente. Todos foram submetidos à avaliação audiológica básica para verificar a audição periférica, RGDT e GIN. Resultados: Para o teste GIN, o valor médio de detecção de gaps das crianças foi de 4,8 ms, enquanto que para o RGDT foi de 11,67 ms. Conclusão: O GIN mostrou-se de mais fácil aplicação nos escolares enquanto que o RGDT mostrou-se com maior dificuldade de entendimento da tarefa pelos mesmos, porém detecta mais as possíveis alterações na habilidade de resolução temporal na população avaliada. Assim, sugere-se que seja utilizado o teste RGDT em escolares na faixa etária deste estudo, quando os mesmos forem capazes de compreender a tarefa solicitada pelo teste.

Para verificar a efetividade do programa, os professores responderam ao questionário “Percepção de Professores em Linguagem” que possui 10 questões de casos hipotéticos envolvendo alunos do ensino fundamental, antes e após a participação no mesmo. A partir do questionário foram criados os índices de percepção global (IPG), de alterações da linguagem oral (IPLO) e da linguagem escrita (IPLE) e do desenvolvimento adequado (IPDA). Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante pré e pós-formação nos índices IPLO, IPLE e IPG. Os professores não apresentaram diferenças no índice IPDA. Conclusão: A percepção do professor sobre os aspectos de desenvolvimento da linguagem oral e escrita mudou de forma significativa pós-participação no programa. O estudo mostra a relevância do programa de formação para os professores do ensino fundamental com efetividade na mudança da percepção frente a casos de alterações da linguagem oral e escrita.

Prywatyzacja branży telekomunikacyjnej w Polsce a pozycja konkurencyjna Grupy Orange
Authors: Zygadlewicz Maciej
Published: February 2018

Motywacja: Branża telekomunikacyjna w Polsce przez wiele lat była ustawowo zmonopolizowana przez jednego, państwowego operatora, jakim była Telekomunikacja Polska SA (dalej TP SA). W 1998 roku rozpoczął się jednak długi proces prywatyzacji spółki, któremu towarzyszyła liberalizacja branży telekomunikacyjnej. Usługi stawały się coraz tańsze dla konsumentów, zaczęto stosować oferty konwergentne, jak również nastąpił szybki rozwój nowych technologii telekomunikacyjnych. Rozpoczęcie działalności przez nowych operatorów znacznie osłabiło pozycję konkurencyjną byłego monopolisty branży telekomunikacyjnej. W literaturze przedmiotu brakuje interpretacji głębokich przemian dokonujących się w branży telekomunikacyjnej. Ocena tych przekształceń w aspekcie pozycji konkurencyjnej Grupy Kapitałowej Orange Polska (dalej Grupa Orange) jest głównym motywem wyboru tematu niniejszego artykułu.Cel: Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wykazanie zależności między prywatyzacją TP SA a pozycją konkurencyjną Grupy Orange. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone za pomocą oceny danych statystycznych. Analizie zostały poddane raporty Urzędu Komunikacji Elektronicznej (UKE) o stanie rynku telekomunikacyjnego w Polsce.Wyniki: Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała zależności między zakończonym procesem prywatyzacji TP SA a pozycją konkurencyjną Grupy Orange. W wyniku tych przemian Grupa Orange straciła część udziałów na poszczególnych rynkach telekomunikacyjnych w Polsce.

Apuntes sobre la ideología y la intervención urbanística
Authors: Piñón Pallarés Juan Luis
Published: February 2018

Desde hace unos años, décadas posiblemente, la práctica del urbanismo discurre huérfana, sus apoyos resultan cada vez más circunstanciales e imprecisos, las teorías de referencia se cuestionan desde casi todos los puntos de vista y sus objetivos cambian movidos por intereses algunas veces inconfesables; sin embargo, hay momentos en los que la sintomatología urbana parece confirmar la teoría del eterno retorno, momentos en los que la historia mira hacia el pasado para recomenzar de forma diferente, como si existiera una voluntad explícita de aceptar el mundo tal cual es, cerrado en sí mismo, con una significación puramente inmanente.
